Pokemon The Teal Mask but I can only use SHINIES!

- Hello Wayfarers! This is a SHINY Pokemon only challenge in Pokemon Scarlet: The Teal Mask DLC, in the region of Kitakami. I had a LOT of fun in this video and I hope that you enjoy all of the various shiny Pokemon we caught, as well as the story we experienced along the way!
Scarlet & Violet are two Pokemon games that I’ve had a rollercoaster experience with since their release. When I first bought a copy in 2022, they became the only set of games in my 25 years of playing Pokemon that I actually disliked, but during my shiny only challenge in 2023, I came to really appreciate the stories they had to tell, how likeable the characters were, and their music & Pokemon designs. And yes, while the performance issues & overall empty open world still frustrated me, I finished that challenge with a newfound respect for this generation of Pokemon. Butttt I wasn't super eager to go back to Paldea, and I also wasn’t sure that I’d ever get around to playing the DLC. So, you’re probably wondering how we got here, and to be honest, so am I. I genuinely didn’t plan on making this into a shiny only run or even a video, because I was mainly using this DLC as a sanity break from my Pokemon Shield run, by live streaming parts of it in between that challenge. But something happened during the course of those streams… and The Teal Mask became one of my favourite Pokemon journeys of all time. So, with that in mind, please enjoy The Teal Mask DLC but I can only use SHINIES.
I used various pieces of info from Serebii.net for this video, and they're a fantastic source of help for anything and everything Pokemon related, so be sure to check out their site if you're doing a challenge like this!

Love the chill vibes of this video. I remember feeling the same way about how we get Ogrepon after everything Kieran went through. Nice analysis of the game and plot. Looking forward to seeing more!
Amazing, I’m really happy to hear that you enjoyed the journey 😊 It’s a bittersweet feeling because it’s not often that a Pokémon game makes you think about your characters actions and decisions - which is fantastic - but I did feel really bad for Kieran!
Thanks so much dude, I really appreciate it and I’m looking forward to making more for you - SwSh will be up next but I’ve got a few more shinies to find before I can release that one 😊
You're welcome! Happy to help and an amazing video, well done Wayfarer.
You were a HUGE help dude so thank you very much again 😊 Hope you enjoyed our Kitakami travels 🥳✈️
I was surprised to hear your name at the end
Great video, and even greater hanging out with you live,
Thanks so much Gold, I’m really glad you enjoyed it! 😄 It was great to have you there for the streams too, they were so much fun 😊🥳
Woo! Dat me! I had a lot of fun watching and participating in the streams!
It you!
Applepines also had a cameo! So proud of him, my beautiful, serpentine son 🥰
Dat is you! Thanks so much again for the help and support James, you are a star! 🌟 Hope to see you for Blueberry when the time comes 🥳
Woo! Congrats again on all the shinies and completing this leg of the journey, as well as finishing the video itself!
The Ogerpon fight wasn't quite the same without colour commentary from us in chat about how your team met their ends (rip all those who were eaten by the couch o7), but hey! For any of you who don't watch the live streams, this sorta stuff is why you absolutely *should!*
Thanks to my number 1 supporter 🥹🥳 This was a very fun journey and it was awesome to have you around on the streams 🥳 Can’t wait for Blueberry already and I hope to see you there when the time comes!
Yeah the editing process was TRICKY when it came to this video, I actually had to re-record a second playthrough just for the high quality story cutscenes, so there may be aspects that had to be cut… but I suppose as you say, that’s the beauty of the streams! 🥳🥳
@ThisIsTheWayfarer of course I'll be there, dude! Unless there is a scheduling overlap of disastrous proportions, which would be very impressive, seeing how few plans I have in general lol
And ooh, I wondered how you got the full-screen scenes without the stream overlay, but figured you just cropped the video in post or something! But yes, the streams are beautiful chaos indeed 🥰
Oh, oh! Say hi to your number one supporter from me btw 😎😎😎
Glad to hear it 😎 Yes the re-record was unfortunate but the stream footage wasn’t the best quality 😭 IT’S YOU!
@@ThisIsTheWayfarer ...I know, that was the joke 😂 I was doing a bit 😂
great job man really enjoyed it
Thanks so much Faston 🥳 It was a FUN journey and awesome as always to have you along for the streams 😊
That will be a treat!
Hope you enjoy it dude 🥳🥳
Ive never related to anything more than that Feebas hunt, there is so many painful outbreak spots in these games. Amazing video as always Wayfarer! Makes me want to playthrough the dlc again :D
BP! Thanks so much for watching dude, it’s massively appreciated and I’m glad you enjoyed 🥳
I’m thankful I was so lucky with Feebas, it feels like a shiny hunt that can turn into a nightmare if it drags on, just too claustrophobic and finicky! Can’t wait to play through the Indigo Disk soon, I’ve just got SwSh to finish first 😬😅
i'm not even halfway through yet but HAD to comment!!! the editing and confidence only gets better and better each video this is insaaaaanely entertaining dude!! and a WHOLE HOUR!? we appreciate the hard work wayfarer, as always 🫡
ok i'm back that was honestly an amazing journey! so happy i was able to catch most of these streams!!! another fantastic video wayfarer! from start to end it was soooo well written and edited! and big shoutout to all the legends who helped u along the way 🎉
You are too kind, thank you so much! 🥹 I’m really glad you enjoyed the journey and it was awesome to have you on the streams too, thanks for all the support as always 🥳
Man you earned the spot on my top 5 UA-camrs to sit on the toilet and watch videos on, good stuff
Awesome, glad you enjoyed the video! 🥳🥳
Ive watched a few of your videos before and thought I'd already subscribed, but i wasn't 😅 So, new sub from me!! I love your videos and tho im only halfway through this one, I know i can't wait to see your reaction to the end of the DLC and I'm definitely going to be tuning in for your streams to see how you like the Indigo Disk!!
Awesome 🥳🥳 Really glad you enjoy the videos as I always have a lot of fun making them 😄
Yes, the Indigo Disk is currently eating away at me, because I REALLY want to know what happens! But I’ve got to temper myself and finish my SwSh run before I get there 😅 It’ll be great to have you around for the streams and for that video when it releases though 🥳
Dude great video as always! Happy that i could be apart of it! i can not wait for your time in blueberry!
Thank you so much dude! 😄 I’m super happy that you enjoyed it and I’m very thankful as always for your support on streams, it was great to have you around for them 🥳 Blueberry is going to be so much fun!
Amazing video as always Wayferer keep up with the great work
Thanks so much Paper 😄 You are too kind dude but I’m glad you enjoyed the video 🥳 Great to have you on stream for the challenge itself!
Awesome another wayfarer vid!
I hope you enjoyed it dude 🥳🥳
This video really emphasises how much easier it is shiny hunting in scarlet and violet. We haven't found a single shiny in Shield (apart from raid events) and we have several boxes full in S/V. Loving the shiny reactions, the sheer Britishness of an "Oh, there's a shiny." 😂 Nice to give Ariados some love too.
@PS_Travels the difference is night and day isn’t it 🤯 Not everyone likes the inconsistency between games for how easy or difficult shiny hunting is, but I really appreciate being able to dip into an easier experience when I’m having trouble in a certain game, and vice versa!
Lmao I’m glad you appreciate the reactions, and I think my calm (ish) responses in this video really backs up how easy it can be to find shinies in this game - Ducklett in particular I remember being very calm about 😂
I always love to give the Johto lot some love, someone has to! 🥳 Thanks so much for the support as always, you guys are awesome!
@ThisIsTheWayfarer Is there an official method for Sword/Shield?
I'm a Gen 1 guy but Johto will always be special too. Some very cool Pokemon there 😀
@ there are a few yeah and the ones we have are really good!
Masuda method is the one people tend to gravitate towards, pretty standard and the same as it is in other games! Hatching eggs from Pokemon of different countries gives odds of 1/600 ish 🥳
Brilliant Aura is unique to these games and it’s what I did for the Combee - the more of a species you knock out or capture gives you better and better shiny odds, but only for the Pokemon you see in the overworld that have a yellow mist surrounding them. That yellow mist is called ‘brilliant aura’ and it can give odds as good as 1/600 ish! They don’t spawn all that often but it’s much faster than full odds 😅 Only really works with Pokemon of a high enough spawn rate though, would recommend masuda otherwise.
Dynamax Adventures is the final one to my knowledge and is included in the Crown Tundra DLC only - it involves battling Pokemon in raids to reach a legendary Pokemon (4 battles per adventure) with the odds for all Pokemon caught being a flat 1/300 without the shiny charm, or 1/100 with the charm 🤯 Only one legendary catch per species is allowed on a save file so if you want to hunt them, you have to not catch them at the end of an adventure 😊 This one is done with rental Pokemon so you can actually do this virtually at the beginning of a new save file - it’s pretty insane!
@ThisIsTheWayfarer Ah! Yes, I have heard of the Dynamax adventures one. They're ridiculous odds but the whole thing takes a while.
Must admit we don't get to watch the streams (sorry 😅), so would have known that if we did. Shows how much research and dedication that goes into it. Really looking forward to when it comes out 😊
@PS_Travels yeah it’s like 20 minutes per adventure which does make it a gamble odds wise!
Oh never ever worry or apologise for not making the streams or missing a video 😄 I’m just very grateful for the support you’ve both given, you’re two of my top supporters! 🥳 Can’t wait to show you the finished video anyways, nearly there now (I think 😂)
Nice video. Just finished it
Bro finished an hour long video in 3 minutes
You must be superhuman NotArsk! 🤯
No, it's just Norwegian things - we're an hour ahead of Britain, you see 😎😎😎
6:25 Holy Crap the foreshadowing was there all along
The foreshadowing for what? 👀 All I see is a kid dancing 😂
@ThisIsTheWayfarer you'll find out once you reach the Epilogue
hahaha so true
Ayo new video let's goo
Hope you enjoy Gravy 🥳🥳
i can't wait to be able to play this
Awesome! Well good luck for your own challenge when you do get around to playing them, Kitakami was a LOT of fun 🥳
👍👍👍👍
i wanna do this too at some point, it looks painfully fun XD
Good luck for your run 😊 I can confirm that it was SO much fun 🤩 Glad you enjoyed!
cool vid! whens the next stream?
Thanks dude, glad you enjoyed it 🥳 Next stream will be W/C 13/01, I’ll pop an exact date in the Discord closer to the time😊
Did you skip the story dialogue the first playthrough
Ooo why do you ask that? 👀😊
@ because if you didn’t really enjoy the story until your shiny only run then you probably mashed through the dialogue
Oh I see - no, my shiny playthrough was actually my first play through of the DLC! I don’t often mash through dialogue I’ll be honest, I LOVE the storytelling in games so I try my best to focus in and really enjoy it 😊
scarlet and violet should've gotten the hate sword and shield got, the open world concept is cool but the execution, animation, and lack of progressive leveling killed it for me
I LOVE SwSh but I must admit, I think SV does have some redeeming qualities - don’t get me wrong, SwSh didn’t deserve the hate it got and I definitely agree that SV is worse than it in some aspects, but I think Paldea’s story & characters are MILES better than anything Galar had to offer, and that does make a huge difference!
I think combined they are practically the perfect game, but they both have severe flaws in their current state 😭
So does this mean we are gonna get an indigo disc video like this ?
Yes definitely! I can’t wait to play through Blueberry and see how everything pans out, but before I do that I want to see out my shiny only playthrough of SwSh 😊 That means that the Indigo Disk will likely be a summer project!
It’s possible u are a ladies man when it comes to catching female pkmn in ur team 😂
Highly possible! I’m currently facing the same thing in SwSh - of the 8 shinies I’ve found so far, 6 have been female 😅 I think it’s a fun streak!
