If you’d like to understand, he named the Tododile “9 Inches” and then “10 Inches” because in the VOD, he used a ruler to figure out the size of his hand. It was 9 inches and If he stretched it out it was 10 inches. He realized how much it seemed like something else, and then the chat made him choose that name.
@@HairyJuan Exactly. Ant has some of the best luck ever apparently. I mean, it took me forever, longer than it took him to get the second Gert, to get my own pink lugia Perish. I think the hunt for her had taken about 2 months of nightly SRs- It kind of made me jealous how fast he got it. Kudos to him anyways, he deserves that lucka fter all his speedruns and whatnot.
The thing about SmallAnt, is his overwhelming resistance to boredom. I bet he could sit in a room for 20 hours, talking to his chat, not even faltering in terms of energy. Like take the first shiny(Totodile) for example. He talked to us about ghost stories at about 39 resets, and his voice was completely fine. You would expect for his voice to quiet down after 4 hours of doing nothing but resetting. BUT NO! Mans is talking like he started the run 2 minutes ago, and his energy level didn't change throughout. That is quite impressive, and not many people(such as myself) are able to do that.
I'm also ShinyHunting live on Twitch and I think the main reason someone can stay in one spot for this amount of time is the chat itself! For example I only have two or three person who write in the chat at the same time and most of the time I'm completly alone! It's way more difficult if there is no one whoo you can talk with and you have to come up with every topic yourself to don't have any quiet phase in your stream!
SoulSilver & HeartGold are also THE fastest shiny starter reset hunts so that definitely helps! I was doing a B2 reset hunt (on hiatus rn lol) and decided to try SoulSilver hunt and within a couple hours I got a shiny totadile (forgive me for butchering that) But also being able to see 3 potential shiny options in one screen is such a blessing
I get so bored shiny hunting and i have never done a full odd hunt, i do horde encounters in gen 6 and then in swsh i have been doing some masuda method for a scorbunny (i tried masuda in gen 6 as well and maybe one day I will come back to it but I might just restart that hunt in swsh). I think tho like the best feeling you get from finding a shiny is a random full odds. I got my first random full odds a few days ago and oh my god it felt so amazing i was so excited
I caught a raquiza as a child on emerald version with a regular pokeball. I tried for 2 hours with ultra balls and putting him to sleep, paralyzed him etc. But got him on full green with one pokeball. Randomly threw it just for giggles. I was so confused.
my favorite thing about this stream is how ant was talking about an old minecraft friend, some crazy person looked up their name and found them, and then ant reconnected with his old buddy
Gosh, I remember playing Pokémon Black and not knowing what a shiny was…looking back it still pains me when I questioned “Huh, why is this Audino purple and why did it shine? Lmao. *Runs*”
• Gets a female Starter • Catches Raikou first turn with a Great Ball • Goes 69 years for a Shiny Electrode (plus a fail) • Gets Shiny Dratini in 20 resets • Gets Shiny Lugia in 7 resets • Catches Lugia first Turn w/o Master Ball • Gets Shiny Ho-Oh in 410 resets • Beats Red with a severely underleveled team. I think we just found the luckiest man alive.
@@Xeno455 Its like 12% for a female starter, so having a female starter isnt rare at all. kinda weird how they stated it was a female but not that is was a shiny.
Ran the numbers: The chance of finding 6 shinies in 16888 attempts is 2.1%. This means it was a 98th percentile run in terms of luck. To put this in perspective: if someone got as unlucky as he got lucky, and had a bottom 2nd percentile run, finding 6 shinies would take roughly 107,000 attempts.
Some places it’s different to standard odds like with the starts he’d take any of them if they were shiny so that was three times as likely than usual when looking for a shiny making the odds less extreme
@@johnnyblackrants7625 well the red garadyous (I haven’t a clue to spell it) is a guaranteed shiny and the electrodes also had three checks before reset I think
@@feanorn8409 I assume you weren't there and haven't watched any small ant streams before. His damageless run was particularly crazy. Also leveling down. He's gone through way worse challenges than just waiting on RNG and he has insane patience. Look up double shinies in the starters. There's a couple videos of people getting 2 shinnies of the 3 starters, and that's FAR less likely than the luck he got.
I got only 1 shiny, ever. And i played pokemon since the early days of red and blue though i stopped playing at emerald. Got a shiny cascoon on platinum just this year after playing again on emulator.
I tried shiny egg hunting a dreepy for 3 months and got nothing. After that I got a shiny Treecko in 47 eggs and a shiny Dratini in 13 eggs Edit: I found a Sobble in 50 eggs last night
I shiny hunted for a high IV dreepy awhile ago and I went to the bathroom just after the “oh” and came back to a shiny after around 200 eggs lol, I was mind blown.
My little brother was legitimately playing the original Crystal, and he spent a couple hours trying for a shiny totodile, but he quit. His first encounter- shiny rattata. His second encounter- shiny hoothoot. Full odds. Later on, he caught a shiny tentacool.

I've seen exactly one (legitimately). It was Christmas day and I ran into a shiny zigzagoon in Alpha Sapphire. I didn't think about it and went straight for a master ball. On a level 16 zigzagoon.
After missing GURT the first time and showing the dedication to find him again, this little ant was blessed by the blue ball with incredible luck for his dedication and perseverance. Praise be.
I started my own shiny only heartgold playthrough yesterday and I'm using this vid and prolly some of the vods as motivation. Already got a gold Chikorita after like 10 resets
i’m still convinced that after he missed the shiny electrode he said fuck it and pulled a dream with the shiny odds. 3 shinies in like 700 encounters is ludicrous .
Came back to this and realized that ~2500 resets for 5 pokemon, and another 14000 for electrode. Greatest example of the most ridiculously good luck along with the most ridiculously bad luck
@@Tsunami9878 actually that is unlucky, if you'd do (1-(8192))^7000, youd have a 42,5% chance of not encountering a shiny. If youd increase the iterations by a factor two, this would be 18,1% of not encountering a shiny. Since it found two i divided the iterations by two
When I played SoulSilver I saw and caught ONE legitimate shiny, a Shiny Magikarp in Ilex Forest. Shiny Magikarps are a dazzling sparkly gold and I was so hype, and could only imagine what a status symbol a golden Gyarados would be! .... Im a fool
Same, but it was Silver rather than Soulsilver and it was in Dark Cave. I thought it might be like a Dark Cave specific thing (as I didn't know Shiny Pokemon were a thing. I knew about Red Gyarados but it's a fixed event so I assumed Gold Magikarp in Dark Cave might be the same thing.) I don't think I found out what it actually was for a year or two.
I beated the league and the 8 kanto leaders being always under level. It wasnt easy but it wasnt really hard either tho, it was actually fun to struggle a bit
Gonna melt down all the fluids man all in the kettle let it boil down into a thick paste. Boil the fluids boil boil boil boil boil boil underneath it all boil down to the core boil over and over. Boil again.
You think that’s hard try going for a brave shiny female munchlax on platinum on a honey tree. Shiny alone which is almost impossible, girl 12% chance and a 1% chance to appear on the honey tree which is hard enough. That my friend is impossible somebody do it! And you have to solo it.
The probability of him getting 6 shinies in ~20000 encounters is about 4% (roughly one in 25), this can be calculated using the binomial theorem. I increased it to 20000 encounters since he was doing 3 encounters per reset for the starter. Probabilistically this is not outside the realm of possibilities although it is rare. The last three shiny encounters occured in only 771 only resets. The probability of this happening is approximately 0.0135% (roughly one in 7407). He's either very lucky or he gave up after the electrode.
Raikou: i have seen you from afar, child. your intentions are noble, defeating Team Rocket and protecting pokemon. through careful consideration i have chosen to join you on your journey to destroy this criminal organization and bring them to justice. with one great ball we will join force- Ant: not shiny, goodbye. Raikou: WAIT I AM A- Game: Bye-bye, BYEBYE!
Worst part is I can relate not an electrode but a shiny Voltorb in fire red I encountered in the power plant I accidentally ran tf away also my first shiny encounter ever
Someone in chat asked tanner to measure his hand he said 9 inches. 10 if I stretch it out. 1 minute later he realised that he said something questionable 2 hours later chat asked him to name tododile 9 inches.
@@AbdullahKhan-el6xw fair but still the fact they don’t know is still funny and it adds to the joke of 9 inches and that he renamed it 10 inches after it fully evolved
@@mcshazer3115 there are 30 natures, with adamant being 1/30 and the rest being 29/30. The odds of a shiny 1/8000(ish) compared to the odds of not being a shiny 7999/8000. Your logic is flawed.
The chance of encountering at least 1 shiny Lugia in 7 tries then successfully catching it first try with an ultra ball was 0.002733373% (Estimated catch rate of 1.6%)
Totodile at Reset : 1352 Eevee at Reset 2633 Gyrados at Reset : 2633 Electrode 1 (the one he ran away from) at reset : 15169 Electrode 2 (the one he caught) at reset : 16107 Dratini at Reset : 16136 Lugia at Reset : 16428 Ho-oh at reset : 16878 you can see how much resets it took for electrode
Electrode 1 aside, his luck is actually kinda nuts. Actual number of resets per Pokemon: Totodile: 1352 (which, while lucky, isn't crazy given it's 3 opportunities per reset) Eevee: 1281 Electrode 1: 12663 (not very lucky but given odds of 1 in 8192, could be a lot worse) Electrode 2: 938 Dratini: 29 Lugia: 292 Ho-Oh: 450 Like, that's fucking nuts. That's a shiny for every 2411 resets on average. Odds are one in 8152.
Still though, that’s barely DOUBLE his odds which to be fair he’d probably get 4 at the most. But to get 6?!? That is literally the most luck of entirety I’ve ever seen.
I think it deserves suspicion. He got three shisies in under 3700 tries. If shinies indeed appear 1 in 8192 Attempts he should have been, statistically speaking, less than half of the way to the fist one by that point. I'm smelling some sort of RNG manipulation Dream-style, but I might be wrong. In that case, ant should get himself some lottery tickets, he's an unreasonably lucky man
I can't be the only one who thinks that, after accidentally skipping the electrode after over 10k resets, he boosted the encounter and catch rates out of frustration and never changed them back
Two things can be true at once. He can stream it but also have manipulated odds on his emulator. I mean its pretty ridiculous what happened in terms of his luck. other than electrode everything was on the SUPER low end of 8000@@Aladdindoescubes
I agree. The shiny luck here is absolutely absurd, especially compounded with things like immediately catching two legendaries with extremely low catch rates at 100% health. The odds of this many highly rare events happening in one run with so few resets are very slim. And the fact that you’d just so happen to get such a run when you decide to stream and record it on a whim? It’s all just too farfetched for me. It was a fun stream and I enjoyed watching it, but I believe it was played on an altered rom.
@@S2kv529 I disagree that shiny hunters are autistic but for me try 400 times to get 1 Pokemon isn't really playing the game, like how can u do that and have a job in the same time lmao
@@S2kv529 I think you may have some trouble to read bro but it's ok, i clearly said ''for me it isn't really playing a game'' so i can't have my own opinion?
I am realizing after all the starter pokemon resets that the Ironmon challenge is pretty much just shiny hunting but with passion! The chance to get a god pokemon vs the chance to get a shiny is pretty comparable
After the incredible misfortune that was finding GURT, the game literally said “oh sh*t bro, that’s rough” and gave him his next three shinies easy asf

Alternate title: Local ant uses only diseased Pokémon to defeat current champion.
i’m still convinced that after he missed the shiny electrode he said fuck it and pulled a dream with the shiny odds. 3 shinies in like 700 encounters is ludicrous .
Well yea that should be obvious
no shit
@@burneraccounthandle so he admitted he cheated? where was this
Real
But it can theoretically happen. The odds of one doesn't impact the odds of another. Someone could theoretically get 10 Shinies back to back.
Came back to this and realized that ~2500 resets for 5 pokemon, and another 14000 for electrode.
Greatest example of the most ridiculously good luck along with the most ridiculously bad luck
5 shinies in 2500 is such silly luck (0.00162% chance). Opposite luck of that for only 1 shiny would be about 71500 resets
He got 2 shiny electrodes in 14000 resets and with shiny chance being 1/8192 that’s actually still lucky.
@@Tsunami9878 It’s not lucky, it’s below the average chance
@@emerald3616 which in my opinion is the definition of luck
@@Tsunami9878 actually that is unlucky, if you'd do (1-(8192))^7000, youd have a 42,5% chance of not encountering a shiny. If youd increase the iterations by a factor two, this would be 18,1% of not encountering a shiny. Since it found two i divided the iterations by two

Shiny Magikarps are a dazzling sparkly gold and I was so hype, and could only imagine what a status symbol a golden Gyarados would be!

Im a fool
Well tbh a red gyarados is still looking really awesome
Same, but it was Silver rather than Soulsilver and it was in Dark Cave. I thought it might be like a Dark Cave specific thing (as I didn't know Shiny Pokemon were a thing. I knew about Red Gyarados but it's a fixed event so I assumed Gold Magikarp in Dark Cave might be the same thing.) I don't think I found out what it actually was for a year or two.
It will still say you met it at a low level at least to prove

I like how he says “first try” after Whitney and the only way you would know it’s a joke is if you’re actively watching the reset counter.
LMAO I did not catch that
Okay I genuinely thought he beat her first try
3:13
tbf when Ant says first try, we all know it's not first try
The probability of him getting 6 shinies in ~20000 encounters is about 4% (roughly one in 25), this can be calculated using the binomial theorem. I increased it to 20000 encounters since he was doing 3 encounters per reset for the starter. Probabilistically this is not outside the realm of possibilities although it is rare.
The last three shiny encounters occured in only 771 only resets. The probability of this happening is approximately 0.0135% (roughly one in 7407).
He's either very lucky or he gave up after the electrode.

Electrode 2: 938
Dratini: 29

Like, that's fucking nuts. That's a shiny for every 2411 resets on average. Odds are one in 8152.
@@MINTY_FN
It requires the same luck to get dratini past 45k tries, than to get it before 30 to put some perspective
with electrodes its about 3.5x, without electrodes its 13.5x the usual luck. which is insane if its legit lol
Still though, that’s barely DOUBLE his odds which to be fair he’d probably get 4 at the most. But to get 6?!? That is literally the most luck of entirety I’ve ever seen.
I think it deserves suspicion. He got three shisies in under 3700 tries. If shinies indeed appear 1 in 8192 Attempts he should have been, statistically speaking, less than half of the way to the fist one by that point. I'm smelling some sort of RNG manipulation Dream-style, but I might be wrong. In that case, ant should get himself some lottery tickets, he's an unreasonably lucky man

Two things can be true at once. He can stream it but also have manipulated odds on his emulator. I mean its pretty ridiculous what happened in terms of his luck. other than electrode everything was on the SUPER low end of 8000@@Aladdindoescubes
I agree. The shiny luck here is absolutely absurd, especially compounded with things like immediately catching two legendaries with extremely low catch rates at 100% health. The odds of this many highly rare events happening in one run with so few resets are very slim. And the fact that you’d just so happen to get such a run when you decide to stream and record it on a whim? It’s all just too farfetched for me. It was a fun stream and I enjoyed watching it, but I believe it was played on an altered rom.
