    Congratulations on the shiny Mewtwo! I never would've thought of using a ghost type and using Trick to give it Leftovers to prevent Struggle from hurting the shiny. I appreciate you sharing your method.

    I love how prepared and dedicated you are!
    Getting Pokémon inside special balls is also something I myself really like to do, really awesome to see it with this extremely awesome Mewtwo.

    Hi Sonikks just want to say that I enjoy your videos. You are the only pokemon channel I watch now because I don't rly have time anymore with college. But I make the time to watch your videos soley because I know that you shiny hunt on genuine devices like GBA and DS's, etc. I dont know why but to me the fact that you get these shinys on genuine nindendo hardware makes the shiny so much more meaningful in my opinion.

    • @uhsquid
      @uhsquid 9 місяців тому +16

      @@TheHorribleBarista im not exactly an expert in gen 3 rng, but basically the way shininess is determined is based on your "frame" and your trainer id (generated at the start of your playthrough when you hit new game). the frame progresses with time, so him taking a break right then made him land perfectly on a "shiny frame" which made the mewtwo shiny.
      (pretty sure its more complicated then this, but i dont really know much more than this lol)

    This hunt for mewtwo reminds me of the time I shiny hunted my own mewtwo for 3 months and after a long an crazy journey, I found him in 4'344 encounters on my own leafgreen. boy it was nuts back then. Congrats on your own shiny mewtwo!

  • @MewtwoExMasterMusic
    @MewtwoExMasterMusic 2 роки тому

    Thank you for the respect you gave ol 150!
    Also that has never happened to me in all my years of hunting - taking an ingame break and hitting the shiny frame! Mad kudos to that!
    2nd Edit - when looking for special attack Mewtwo at lv 70 you are looking for around 260 sp attack at catch without calcium.
    3rd Edit - shiny Mewtwo’s eyes glow blue when he gets hit with an attack and moves his arms as if saying “Enough”. Best when getting hit with a low effects move like a Pound or Headbutt.

    So I "lost" my leafgreen for a long time. Now I'm trying to "finish it" by catching Mewtwo and I dont have my masterball, and I'm kind of sad about it. Right now just trying to power up my pokemon so they don't die from one psychic attach (my start was venusaur, so he's weak to it). I'm kind of hoping all of these restarts will give me a shiny, but will be so sad if I don't catch him.

    I figured id lay out the worst shiny experience for me. So late one night was in my car just having a general look around in the crimson mirelands on pokemon legends arceus. I hear the shiny sound i look its a shiny alpha Ursaring in all its green majesty. I catch it sneaking up with the first gigaton ball. Bam! Caught it with so much excitment to name it. Perfect timing too cause i recently lost my siberian husky Taz in real life and always called him a bear. As you would think was happy named the big boy Taz....Welp before i could even think of saving i get an error code. Had to restart and look in the same spot but never showed up again 😅😔
