Austin is the guy that goes from "I wonder how hard it is for colorblind people to identify shinies" to brigading for colorblind rights and actually coming up with ideas and solutions. This guy is great.
If you’re trying to tell the regular curly tatsugiri apart from the shiny stretchy tatsugiri - wait for them to do their camouflage animation. Curly tatsugiri do what their name suggests, curl up, and their tails points upwards. Stretchy tatsugiri lay flat. So if you see an orange tatsugiri laying flat, you know it’s a shiny stretchy tatsugiri and not a regular curly tatsugiri!
Thank you! This also helps just matching name to face. Love the color blind consideration, but just wish this had actual captions (upload a script if Austin wrote one?) and/or that he had the name above each pokemon as well. Thank you again, kind stranger, for commenting this timestamp guide to assist this already majorly helpful vid
I love how u went from never wondering about colorblind ppl and shinyhunting, to taking interest on it, to actually bothering to take the time of your day to help colorblind ppl out. Always love your videos 🙏🏼
They really had the opportunity to give both a visual and audio cue (as successfully portrayed in PLA) and gave us neither this Gen 😭 My eyesight isn’t too great. Thanks for actively helping out the community with videos like this!
I've heard it may be because of the pokemon spawning in walls, which would be tragic to encounter because there's no way in there. I'd still take some wall shiny fails over probably missing a bunch in the open because of no cues though
@@xylophoneserpent367 that was speculation by some dude on reddit that then blew up. Probably way more likely it was related to people glidding around the maps in Legends and just waiting for the shiny spawn sound effect to happen
@@skilledwarman you mean the Pokemon don't just spawn in random spots? I recently ran into a shiny Abra out in the open unexpectedly. Obviously I wasn't shiny hunting anything.
I love that they made it so easy to accidently run past a ton of shinies and they decided "Hey thats not enough, lets make Tauros have almost no changes!"
I literally just missed a shiny wattrel and saw it again while catching a murkrow, which wasn't in my pokedex. The pokedex registering animation wasted enough time to allow the wattrel to get far enough away from me that I couldn't see it, despawning it. Could have been avoided if the shiny sound from PLA was kept in.
@@datsaltygamer4136 there's definitely some good ones but the majority are disappointing. Cereuledge and armarouge both have terrible shinys but are some of the coolest pokemon ever made.
I can't agree with that. There are a small selection that I really like and are up there as all-time favourites, but this gen has the largest crop of lazy designs we have ever seen. Furthermore, how did they create such a phenomenal trio of starters, only to savage all of their final stages?

I respect the hell out of you for legit taking the consideration of color deficient folks into your videos, as a graphic designer I have worked really hard to bring light to this issue & I super appreciate a large creator like yourself speaking on it.
Biggest issues I’ve had with shinies this gen as a color blind person is the backgrounds they’re on. It’s easy to tell some on serebii or in this video, but when they’re on a blue/green/sand background (or when the shadows are going crazy) their appearance will totally change to me. So I end up just knocking out everything I see for a lot of them
I feel like the shiny Pokémon should’ve had sparkles around them that trails behind them when they walk. That way you still have to be attentive in order to get the Pokémon but that way it is easier to find smaller Pokémon
As a visually impaired player, I can't even begin to say how heartwarming it is to see somebody so big in the community looking out for us. I have a brain injury and would never have been able to finish the game or get Charizard without your videos explaining how things work, because it is so confusing for me. So even your regular content makes the game more accessible but stuff like this is just the cherry on top of your kind, inclusive sundae.

Holy wow, thank you thank you for this. The *alert* of a shiny in the overworld in Arceus was great for spicy eyed folk like me, and Scarlet has been much more difficult. Thank you sincerely for taking the time to make this video.
Fun fact for those that don't already know, Tinkaton is the natural predator of Corviknight and its hammer is made of Corviknight metal, and thus Shiny Tinkaton's color change is that its tools it has made from said metal become the color of Shiny Coviknight. Thought it was a neat touch by Gamefreak.
I've got a theory that she isn't actually a corviknight killer but a scavenger of parts from ruins or after battles and her pikedex entry is flawed. My evidence, she has no super effective moves or type advanges on him. She has no superior Stat builds to him. The dex is written and filled out by mostly kids who haven't taken the time to study the pokemon behavior thoughly before chucking a ball at it. I could be wrong but it's fun to think about. Fan theories and all :)
@@brittanygeren8881 it says she knocks rocks into the sky to take out the Corviknight, so i don't thing her move effectiveness matters there But it is interesting
@@brittanygeren8881 Actually, Tinkatuff's flavor text in Scarlet says they predate pawniards and bisharps to scavange materials to build their hammers.
I'd assume the tinkatink's line pokedex entries tell a story of Tinkatink trying to create a really good hammer, but a 'pokemon that eats metal' (presumed to be corviknight but id assume it could also be meltan) steals its hammer before it can make anything out of it so it end up evolving into tinkatuff, steals metal from pawniard+bisharps to create the ultimate hammer for revenge on corviknight as Tinkaton. Though I do enjoy the thought of a fairy type just telling these overgrown birds to piss off out of their air space lmao.
I really like alot of the shinies, especially the Scarlet Paradox mons, but it's very straining to look for a very slight change in texture, hunting the Iron Moth I needed so much attention to see the difference when walking past them, meanwhile Great Tusk, Iron Thorns etc are so obivous. I really think it would be nice if you could toggle a audio sound for shinies like PLA. Never going to hunt for Maushold, unless doing Mesuda.
yeah i want a shiny tandemaus/maushold but i think im just going to do masuda method for it too lol. same with any of the more subtle ones honestly. my vision is really poor & i dont feel like getting a headache because im having to strain my eyes so much
Honestly you’re one of the best gamer UA-camrs period. The amount of work and testing you put in for your viewers is just phenomenal. The fact that you’re considerate of your colorblind viewers too and created this shows the dedication and care you have. Keep up the amazing work Austin!
This was genuinely the most helpful videos regarding shiny differences I've seen for any Pokemon game. Thank you for walking us through the difference instead of just showing us
Thank you for your service, my brother has a color blind mode on his tv, but when playing in handheld, he struggles to differentiate certain colors. This will help him a lot, I'm sure.
The easiest way to tell if a Future form Paradox Pokémon is shiny, is how metallic it is. The difference is that most of their prominent colours are changed to match the surrounding metal colour, so if it's almost entirely the same silver metallic colour, it's shiny. The only outliers are Iron Moth and Iron Hands who keep their prominent orange and yellow colours respectively, so are a bit harder to notice.
Even though i am not colorblind or have any problems in that way, i really love how Austin just puts a Video about it, it really helps and is awesome even if you dont have any handicaps what so ever, keep up the amazaing work Edit:This video helps evenmore if we counter in the Fact that there are 1000 mons now, and with shinys like pikachu where is nearly no difference it helps imens
I’m sure they removed the sparkle and noise as a balance to the overworld shiny. I know Nintendo is BERY well know for not being very good with accommodations at all, but when I heard about the no sparkle, as a terribly color blind person, I was INCREDIBLY disappointed. But when I got the notification that this video got posted I couldn’t believe it. Usually everyone brushes off the difficulty, but you helped so much and cared. I’ve been through this video multiple times and even the explaining has helped me to find 17 shinies that otherwise I would have walked past. So thank you so, so much.
Man I appreciate you so much! I commented on another video of yours talking about how tough it is being colorblind! This is amazing. I instantly subscribed!
When you find a shiny in the overworld, there should be a massive sound and sparkles should be emanating from it every few seconds just so people can notice it regardless of hearing or seeing ability. Some of these are just far too close imo.
Sound effect not needed if they just used the light effect they used for tera pokemon for shinies could see them far away before sound effect would happen then.
thanks for this video, i am colour blind and i feel like i have ran past many subtle shinys while playing the game. this guide will help me alot when out searching
Wanted to thank you for this one! I just caught a shiny Tauros specifically because I remembered you talking about the texture/lighting differences and was like "hang on, this one looks weird compared to the others in this group" and I was right!
Love your videos austin. The sandwich partner bug is amazing. Tried it with my gf for some ground pokemon. Ended up finding shiny toedscruel, wooper, gible, sandile, and donphan all within 30 minutes and it didn’t even cost any herba mystica. Absolutely phenomenal.
I do wish some of these were more obvious but I do love the shinies from this new generation as a whole, especially that we have a ton that look like Albino Pokémon!
I love what they did with the violet paradox pokemon and the silver shiny "theme" they got going. Got my shiny Iron Valiant last weekend and cant wait to get the rest of them!
I'm not colourblind, but I really appreciate the Tauros and Gholdengo talk-throughs. I didn't even notice the differences between the shiny and non-shiny forms of Gholdengo, and I've seen that picture a couple of times on the web. As for Tauros, seeing them side-by-side makes it slightly more obvious, but I'm probably still going to miss them lmao
Believe it or not, it's usually not that hard to tell Tauros, mostly because it's often in a group of 5, so it stands out that its colors are reversed.
@@RabblesTheBinx Honestly, that's pretty much how I've gotten most of my shinies in this game so far. A group of Pokemon spawn, I see something marginally different as I ride past, and go "...wait a minute". I've yet to see a shiny Tauros in game so far, but yeah, I'm kind of banking on this also being the case lmao
Honestly, I'm just gonna watch all the way through this & give engagement because this is going to be a great resource for a lot of people. I never would've thought of the color balance thing.
Is there a chance you’ll make this same type of video for the DLC dexes? I can’t describe how helpful this video has been to me over the past two years
helpful! thank you for describing the specific ways to notice the more subtle shinies, like the bigger coin guy and especially tauros! and idk why i never thought of the idea of using switch youtube to color match super precisely, thats so smart. ive found maybe... 4 shinies? some of older pokemon, some of newer ones. im worried constantly that ill be passing by shinies and just not notice cause its hard to tell
I've always liked your videos. But this one made me appreciate you more. Being someone with visual impairments, I thank you for being the kind of person you are. I really appreciate you for this.
Great video! I’ve only found and caught two shinies so far, a Buizel and a Pawniard, which were obvious and I just happened to come upon them. Some of the ones with slight differences, or the really small ones I’d probably never notice, and I’m not color blind.
Just wanna mention that I came onto this video because I don't know what a lot of the shiny forms look like and thought this might help me recognize a few of them later on down the line if I happen to run into any, and within a minute of starting the video I ran into a shiny in my game. So, basically, thank you for passing along some good luck. xD
"Maschiff becomes a BRIGHT purple colour" I swear most people in this community are colourblind when it comes to purple. That's not even close to bright bloody purple. That's gray-ish purple. TOESDCRUEL IS MAGENTA WHICH IS PINK.
This is probably the most important video there is on UA-cam for covering shiny hunt.. you can know the sandwich the glitch etc but if we don't know the slight difference between the shiny and the normal pokemon we are doomed, been looking for a video like this, thanks a lot man 🤜🤛
Thanks for all your help with the game Austin! I just got a shiny Bellibolt last night but identifying it as a Tadbulb right away was nothing short of a miracle. Especially with what they did with all the lighting in this game, they really made some shinies so hard to find. I even noticed on my player card that I’ve battled another shiny at some point during my game and had no idea.
Liked the video before I even watched it coz I know Austin gives amazingly useful content as usual.Those who are fans please hit the thumbs up button.This man deserves the recognition for the hardwork and effort he puts into making these videos for us.
I would love to see a guide featuring the best sandwich recipes for specific individuals encounter shiny hunt routes. Such as, "For best results of a ground-type sandwhich, these areas will utilize the sandwich best, spawning ___, ___, etc." I hope this makes sense.
I hope they add some kind of sound or effect that there is a shiny pokemon. Its hard for me to spot some of the minimal shiny differences of some pokemon in particular
Austin John! Can you make a video about raid power and how to get it level 3 if possible. There may be a lot of people who don't know what it does. And great videos
Thank you austin this helps a lot for my shinydex my hardest hunt has been gastly since they made the smoke so blue even with gastly being purple the smoke throws me off every time lol
Hey Austin, awesome work, i'm not colorblind but i do take that in mind in my daily work, and game freak should create some visual sparkle as previous games or a sound exactly to be inclusive and ready for everyone, especially in a game where some shinys are quite similar to the originals.
I only found my shiny Capsakid because he was in the middle of the road, I had just caught a regular and my first thought was "oh hun you look sickly..." Thought it was just a variant until the shiny animation played ^^'
If it's too hard to tell the difference between shiny and non shiny it's not worth getting. A shiny should be something you can show off and looks different right away.
!!! When looking at the Tatsugiri: their form names come from their camouflage poses. When getting close to them, curly curls upwards (like a shrimp), stretchy does the planking challenge and droopy just goes limp. So if it's orange and curls, it's not shiny. But if it's orange and stretches/planks, it IS shiny.
I remember finding a shiny toedscool out in the wild by accident, and as it was running I was confused on why it lost it'd color. Turns out it was a shiny!
I like how all the future paradox pokemon are just full silver. They lose almost all non-LED colors. I imagine that was a hard day at the office drafting up those palette swaps.
Downloading this as I realise that I've missed so many shinies (including what you'd think would be obvious, like white sushi fish) but going to make some notes and go proper shiny hunting. Thank you :3
Could you do the rest of the pokemon available in the game too? I've been having trouble with a bunch of the older pokemon in the different light conditions of the game.
This is the only thing keeping me sane while hunting Iron Treads, the last one I need to have all the violet paradoxes shiny. I would otherwise second guess myself with every one I see
I used your red tv setting method for tandemaus paired that with an outbreak and herba mystica, i actually got my shiny only just 2 hours! Thank you so much!!!
I don’t like how they just made all the future paradox mons’ shinies are just not painted, I feel like the could’ve done something more creative with them
Thank you so much for this. I’m not color blind but even with glasses I have a hard time seeing in general, and I have a switch lite so while it makes most games easier for me to see in in this game things like smoliv’s head are actually like 4 pixels and it’s been so difficult
I have violet and my friend has scarlet so I asked if he could get me a flutter mane. I had to show him where to get one, and literally the first one that appeared was a shiny. He didn’t know it was a shiny…
Not porting over the shiny notifications from Legends Arceus was a big head scratcher to me. Still is. Even just a little visual cue when it appears would hve been good. Ah well. Either way, having the visual here is nice for future possibilities!
18:10 I think my Maridon became shiny when I did the sled race. I thought it was just a frosted effect of some kind but no it was just shiny. I have a single screenshot of it having passed the gym test.
This video is one of the biggest gigachad moves I've ever seen in Poketubing. Seriously. And I've been in this space for almost 13 years now. You have ascended to TERA-chard.
Thanks a lot for this video, after seeing this I’m not wondering where I missed out on my first shiny. My second shiny encounter was a Klawf, that one I really wanted (blue is my favourite colour) and it simply disappeared because of the ally Pokémon 😢
1. Thank you for this. 2. I got the game for Christmas and told my bf "watch I'm going to get a shiny that's barely noticeable or miss one because I didn't realize." Last night the tandamouse spawned and I go "Well I haven't seen these Lil guys yet so I guess I'll encounter." Sparkles. 😂
I missed a shiny cetoddle, in game it was evening and very late in real life, the lighting was thrown off. I saw a pack of cetoddle one looked a little darker but that one was under a tree. I then found out from my brother a day later that I missed the shiny.
Austin is the guy that goes from "I wonder how hard it is for colorblind people to identify shinies" to brigading for colorblind rights and actually coming up with ideas and solutions. This guy is great.
@ChaosLord5129
Okay, boomer. Maybe it's time for your daily walk. I'm sure you had your lunch and all.
Damn he helped me out a lot gave me a list of ones I can tell the difference so I don’t have to mess with my tv settings lol
@Choas_Lord_512 I wish that was the case cause shiny hunting has me wanting to quit playing the pokemon games
@@nancyvandermeer4480 W
@Choas_Lord_512 why are you so defensive and aggressive over this? Relax a bit
If you’re trying to tell the regular curly tatsugiri apart from the shiny stretchy tatsugiri - wait for them to do their camouflage animation. Curly tatsugiri do what their name suggests, curl up, and their tails points upwards. Stretchy tatsugiri lay flat.
So if you see an orange tatsugiri laying flat, you know it’s a shiny stretchy tatsugiri and not a regular curly tatsugiri!
its actually so cool they do that, ive never noticed it
I managed to find my shiny Stretchy Tatsugiri a few days ago by paying close attention to their mimics! Great advice :)
Does this work if they're in the water though?

I’m sure they removed the sparkle and noise as a balance to the overworld shiny. I know Nintendo is BERY well know for not being very good with accommodations at all, but when I heard about the no sparkle, as a terribly color blind person, I was INCREDIBLY disappointed. But when I got the notification that this video got posted I couldn’t believe it. Usually everyone brushes off the difficulty, but you helped so much and cared. I’ve been through this video multiple times and even the explaining has helped me to find 17 shinies that otherwise I would have walked past. So thank you so, so much.
Man I appreciate you so much! I commented on another video of yours talking about how tough it is being colorblind! This is amazing. I instantly subscribed!
When you find a shiny in the overworld, there should be a massive sound and sparkles should be emanating from it every few seconds just so people can notice it regardless of hearing or seeing ability. Some of these are just far too close imo.
Sound effect not needed if they just used the light effect they used for tera pokemon for shinies could see them far away before sound effect would happen then.
thanks for this video, i am colour blind and i feel like i have ran past many subtle shinys while playing the game. this guide will help me alot when out searching
Wanted to thank you for this one! I just caught a shiny Tauros specifically because I remembered you talking about the texture/lighting differences and was like "hang on, this one looks weird compared to the others in this group" and I was right!
Love your videos austin. The sandwich partner bug is amazing. Tried it with my gf for some ground pokemon. Ended up finding shiny toedscruel, wooper, gible, sandile, and donphan all within 30 minutes and it didn’t even cost any herba mystica. Absolutely phenomenal.
I do wish some of these were more obvious but I do love the shinies from this new generation as a whole, especially that we have a ton that look like Albino Pokémon!
Toedscool 🤣
My head canon for the shiny mechamons is that the 3D Printer that is making the mechamons ran out of coloured ink.
I love what they did with the violet paradox pokemon and the silver shiny "theme" they got going. Got my shiny Iron Valiant last weekend and cant wait to get the rest of them!
I'm not colourblind, but I really appreciate the Tauros and Gholdengo talk-throughs. I didn't even notice the differences between the shiny and non-shiny forms of Gholdengo, and I've seen that picture a couple of times on the web. As for Tauros, seeing them side-by-side makes it slightly more obvious, but I'm probably still going to miss them lmao
Believe it or not, it's usually not that hard to tell Tauros, mostly because it's often in a group of 5, so it stands out that its colors are reversed.
@@RabblesTheBinx Honestly, that's pretty much how I've gotten most of my shinies in this game so far. A group of Pokemon spawn, I see something marginally different as I ride past, and go "...wait a minute".
I've yet to see a shiny Tauros in game so far, but yeah, I'm kind of banking on this also being the case lmao
I miss the Arceus chime for shinies. There are just too many pokemon with incredibly subtle differences to make sight reliable.
Honestly, I'm just gonna watch all the way through this & give engagement because this is going to be a great resource for a lot of people. I never would've thought of the color balance thing.
Is there a chance you’ll make this same type of video for the DLC dexes? I can’t describe how helpful this video has been to me over the past two years
You're so thoughtful and always preparing us for success! Arceus Bless you, good sir! 🥺🖤🤘
I could’ve literally sat here and watched a whole video of the WHOLE Pokédex gone through, lol.
helpful! thank you for describing the specific ways to notice the more subtle shinies, like the bigger coin guy and especially tauros! and idk why i never thought of the idea of using switch youtube to color match super precisely, thats so smart. ive found maybe... 4 shinies? some of older pokemon, some of newer ones. im worried constantly that ill be passing by shinies and just not notice cause its hard to tell
I've always liked your videos. But this one made me appreciate you more. Being someone with visual impairments, I thank you for being the kind of person you are. I really appreciate you for this.
13:06 dodonzo's color swap is inspired on the viral black/blue or white/gold dress
Austin you are an absolute amazing addition to the Pokémon community
Great video! I’ve only found and caught two shinies so far, a Buizel and a Pawniard, which were obvious and I just happened to come upon them. Some of the ones with slight differences, or the really small ones I’d probably never notice, and I’m not color blind.
When I was hunting Tatsugiri I used the difference in cry/pose to help distinguish the shiny stretchy form and regular curly form
Just wanna mention that I came onto this video because I don't know what a lot of the shiny forms look like and thought this might help me recognize a few of them later on down the line if I happen to run into any, and within a minute of starting the video I ran into a shiny in my game. So, basically, thank you for passing along some good luck. xD
I love austin so much, thank you for all that content because I am having such a hard time seeing shinies sometimes
I don’t have color blind issues - but it’s sick you do this for your community. Bravo man.
awesome idea with using your tv screen settings dude, this video is so helpful!
"Maschiff becomes a BRIGHT purple colour"
I swear most people in this community are colourblind when it comes to purple. That's not even close to bright bloody purple. That's gray-ish purple.
TOESDCRUEL IS MAGENTA WHICH IS PINK.
This is probably the most important video there is on UA-cam for covering shiny hunt.. you can know the sandwich the glitch etc but if we don't know the slight difference between the shiny and the normal pokemon we are doomed, been looking for a video like this, thanks a lot man 🤜🤛
My brother is color blind, I never considered if it made pokemon more difficult for him. Cool video!
Tarountula: exists
Austin John: is this a Spidops?
Thanks for all your help with the game Austin! I just got a shiny Bellibolt last night but identifying it as a Tadbulb right away was nothing short of a miracle.
Especially with what they did with all the lighting in this game, they really made some shinies so hard to find. I even noticed on my player card that I’ve battled another shiny at some point during my game and had no idea.
Austin I'm curious, how many shinies do you have in this game so far? And how many shinies would you say you have in total from all the games?
Iron Jugulis was my first shiny, I was simply looking for a regular Umbreon to help complete the dex. I couldn’t believe it
Liked the video before I even watched it coz I know Austin gives amazingly useful content as usual.Those who are fans please hit the thumbs up button.This man deserves the recognition for the hardwork and effort he puts into making these videos for us.
Lmao too true
I’ve probably missed tons of shinys because of the lack of color change
While watching this video I realized I missed a shiny Bramblin haha
Austin John going above a beyond, what a guy!
I would love to see a guide featuring the best sandwich recipes for specific individuals encounter shiny hunt routes. Such as, "For best results of a ground-type sandwhich, these areas will utilize the sandwich best, spawning ___, ___, etc." I hope this makes sense.
I hope they add some kind of sound or effect that there is a shiny pokemon. Its hard for me to spot some of the minimal shiny differences of some pokemon in particular
Austin John! Can you make a video about raid power and how to get it level 3 if possible. There may be a lot of people who don't know what it does. And great videos
whenever it came to mabostiff, if you turn on subtitles, it thinks you said "my balls stiff", which i find hilarious.
Thank you austin this helps a lot for my shinydex my hardest hunt has been gastly since they made the smoke so blue even with gastly being purple the smoke throws me off every time lol
Shiny gargancl is basically just a desert temple from Minecraft. It even knows explosion
Hey Austin, awesome work, i'm not colorblind but i do take that in mind in my daily work, and game freak should create some visual sparkle as previous games or a sound exactly to be inclusive and ready for everyone, especially in a game where some shinys are quite similar to the originals.
11:58 while watching, this guy showed up shiny. Nice! Thanks for your content!
I only found my shiny Capsakid because he was in the middle of the road, I had just caught a regular and my first thought was "oh hun you look sickly..."
Thought it was just a variant until the shiny animation played ^^'
If it's too hard to tell the difference between shiny and non shiny it's not worth getting. A shiny should be something you can show off and looks different right away.
!!! When looking at the Tatsugiri: their form names come from their camouflage poses. When getting close to them, curly curls upwards (like a shrimp), stretchy does the planking challenge and droopy just goes limp.
So if it's orange and curls, it's not shiny. But if it's orange and stretches/planks, it IS shiny.
Oh I completely forgot, unfortunately this only helps when they're on land
I remember finding a shiny toedscool out in the wild by accident, and as it was running I was confused on why it lost it'd color. Turns out it was a shiny!
I like how all the future paradox pokemon are just full silver. They lose almost all non-LED colors. I imagine that was a hard day at the office drafting up those palette swaps.
You're the best Austin, making it easier for those of us that have trouble cause if our color blindness 💜💜💜💜💜
Downloading this as I realise that I've missed so many shinies (including what you'd think would be obvious, like white sushi fish) but going to make some notes and go proper shiny hunting. Thank you :3
Could you do the rest of the pokemon available in the game too? I've been having trouble with a bunch of the older pokemon in the different light conditions of the game.
This is the only thing keeping me sane while hunting Iron Treads, the last one I need to have all the violet paradoxes shiny. I would otherwise second guess myself with every one I see
Wow after seeing this, I feel like I probably have come across a few of these shinies, but didn’t realize or notice at the time . RIP
I used your red tv setting method for tandemaus paired that with an outbreak and herba mystica, i actually got my shiny only just 2 hours! Thank you so much!!!
Lol this is awesome, you have so much patience to put this together
This is really helpful! Please make a p.2 on the pokemon not in this video but in the game please!
The moment you realize you definitely walked passed a shiny Bellibolt. 😂
Youre the man, my brother and i are both colorblind and have been having a rough time tryina check literally everything we see
Was just watching this video while Masada hunting Sprigatito, my shiny hatched while you were talking about Meowscarda; thanks for the luck!
I don’t like how they just made all the future paradox mons’ shinies are just not painted, I feel like the could’ve done something more creative with them
Thank you so much for this. I’m not color blind but even with glasses I have a hard time seeing in general, and I have a switch lite so while it makes most games easier for me to see in in this game things like smoliv’s head are actually like 4 pixels and it’s been so difficult
I have violet and my friend has scarlet so I asked if he could get me a flutter mane. I had to show him where to get one, and literally the first one that appeared was a shiny. He didn’t know it was a shiny…
I don't see any texture/reflection changes in the Tauros...
Not porting over the shiny notifications from Legends Arceus was a big head scratcher to me. Still is. Even just a little visual cue when it appears would hve been good. Ah well. Either way, having the visual here is nice for future possibilities!
All future paradox went 'Disregard Paint, Acquire Chrome'.
18:10 I think my Maridon became shiny when I did the sled race. I thought it was just a frosted effect of some kind but no it was just shiny. I have a single screenshot of it having passed the gym test.
This video should be in every Shiny Hunter's playlist for reference. AJP is the freaking OG.
This video is one of the biggest gigachad moves I've ever seen in Poketubing. Seriously. And I've been in this space for almost 13 years now.
You have ascended to TERA-chard.
Thanks a lot for this video, after seeing this I’m not wondering where I missed out on my first shiny.
My second shiny encounter was a Klawf, that one I really wanted (blue is my favourite colour) and it simply disappeared because of the ally Pokémon 😢
As a colorblind person, this is truly a blessing 😅
That feeling when you've seen a white tatsugiri in the wild and just assumed it was one of its forms....
That advice to change the color back sounds like it came from personal experience. 😁
1. Thank you for this. 2. I got the game for Christmas and told my bf "watch I'm going to get a shiny that's barely noticeable or miss one because I didn't realize." Last night the tandamouse spawned and I go "Well I haven't seen these Lil guys yet so I guess I'll encounter." Sparkles. 😂
It's a shame it's shiny locked but Chi-Yu it's definitely my new favorite shiny
A video about the best Isolated Encounter locations for the new Pokemon would be awesome
I missed a shiny cetoddle, in game it was evening and very late in real life, the lighting was thrown off. I saw a pack of cetoddle one looked a little darker but that one was under a tree. I then found out from my brother a day later that I missed the shiny.
Also for Charcadet hunting, fire 3 sandwiches only work in Violet because fire Taurus’ spawn in that area for scarlet players.
Just a heads up
