- Hello Wayfarers, this is a Shiny only challenge in Pokemon Let’s go Pikachu, with some additional rules thrown in. I had a tonne of fun with this challenge and it really is a great game to hunt for Shiny Pokemon via the catch combo method, so a good time was certainly had.
*COMPETITION ENDED JULY 1ST 2023*
If you'd like to win the 9 shiny Pokemon that I caught during this challenge, all you need to do is leave a comment on this video of who your favourite Generation 1 Pokemon is.
If you could also like and subscribe that would be ace, but just a comment will do for the raffle. The winner will be chosen on July 1st, 2023, so you’ll need to comment by then to be in with a chance.
Also, I’ll be sending the Pokemon via trade so you’d need to provide your friend code if you are chosen as the winner

Thanks for putting Sandslash as the thumbnail he’s been my favorite Pokémon for over 20 years
My favourite gen 1 mon is Squirtle. Also there’s no point in putting me in the giveaway cause I don’t have a switch sadly.
@@Walnut64 I’m sorry to hear that, hopefully you’ll be able to grab one someday! Squirtle is a fab pick also!
I don’t have Pokémon Pikachu :( but my favorite Generation 1 Pokémon is Nidoking
@@xdrunkagainx I’m sorry to hear that, Nidoking is a great choice for a favourite tho 😄
Crazy how much better Lets Go looks compared to the newer games haha
Not really. But hey nice internet addiction, weeb
Agreed 👍
Edit: Dude I was replying to below deleted his comment 🤦🏼♂️
Who even calls someone a ‘weeb’ you melt, besides they’ve got a valid point. Let’s Go looks pretty good compared to SV - if you prefer Paldea that’s fine because it’s obviously got other things going for it other than the graphics, as have some of the other newer titles like Arceus (my favourite), but I don’t think you can pretend that they look better than Let’s Go. It’s kinda made to look good and be a little bit shallow.
@@angelasongcheung6796shut up
To be fair these games are *A LOT* less ambitious and graphically demanding compared to Legends Arceus and Scarlet/Violet due to being mostly heavily faithful to the original Kanto games. Absolutely true though due to the simplistic (but still pleasant) art style GAME FREAK went with for the Let's Go! titles.
Sorry to hear about your dog passing! Was cute to see them come back through growlithe though ❤ this was a great video! Extremely well edited!
Thank you I really appreciate that - agreed it was kinda like a sign 😅 Thank you so much, I’m really glad you enjoyed it - check out my Legends Arceus one if you’re interested 🥳
really impressed with the content quality when you're a newer channel!! love it, keep it up!! and my favorite gen 1 pokemon is lapras :)
Wow what a lovely comment, thank you so much! I really appreciate it and I’m glad you enjoyed the video 😄
Lapras is a fantastic favourite, definitely one of mine too! I’ll include you in the raffle for the shinies 🎉
@@ThisIsTheWayfarero
I love my dragonite Karliah, she was born in kalos and I raised her in hoenn, and she's dominated every pokemon league since! But my favorite species of pokemon from generation 1 is mewtwo!
That is such an awesome backstory for your Pokémon, go Karliah! Mewtwo is so iconic, great pick and I’ll add you the raffle for the shinies 🥳
Glad I saw this channel before it popped off, because with this quality there's no way you don't skyrocket in subs.
Favourite gen 1 Pokemon is probably Alolan Sandshrew/Alolan Raichu, though if that doesn't count then maybe Vaporeon
Wow thank you so much 😄 Comments like this blow me away, I’m really happy that you enjoyed the video and have subbed for the future 🥳
I reckon both of those can count yeah, I’m sure the Let’s go games have trades in them for those regional forms, but either way I’d have counted them for the raffle, great choices! 😄 I’ll add you to the raffle for my 9 shinies 🥳
I'm really happy your final team included buddy. While off topic I completely empathize with you. Last year when I had to put down my husky after him being with me for 14 years I was heartbroken. To try and distract myself I booted up my switch and saw that skyrim was on sale. So I bought it for the 5th time in my life and started playing. Got to the dawn guard dlc and remembered I could get a husky companion. So now the day my best friend passed he reincarnated into my favorite game and now lives in my home guarding my wife and kids. Funny how games work like that sometimes.
Tysm for this video. I been trying to find a video of somebody doing this the way you did but literally couldn't find anything. I love the added ruleset as well and will definitely be using it as I been wanting to tackle a shiny challenge but wasn't sure if it was even possible because I couldn't find any shinies for hours at the start of the game. Glad to know it can work and I'll also be using the rules you put in this video. I encourage anybody who wants a simple challenge that they don't mind putting some hours into to do this because it's so much fun.
This is a lovely comment dude, thank you so much for watching and I’m really glad you enjoyed it! I never really did much shiny hunting before I started posting some on the channel and I got along just fine, so I’m sure you’ll do great 😄 Good luck with the hunting and you’ll have to let me know how you get on 🥳
@@ThisIsTheWayfarer been at this challenge for 6 days and I finally got a run going for me. I'm currently at the second gym with a shiny bellsprout and a shiny Zubat. I made an extra rule making me name all my Pokemon that are shiny and I'm stuck fighting misty. I tried leveling both my Pokemon to the cap which is 19 and I'm still struggling. So I decided I'm gonna grind for a shiny Rattata . If I get a shiny Charmander I won't complain but I don't think it'll help much with this gym sadly so I'd have to keep grinding for a different shiny if that happens to be safe.
It took me many hours on multiple different sav files to catch my first shiny, but on this one that It took me 10 hours to catch a bellsprout and for Zubat only 2-3. I wish luck was more on my side but it's okay. So far I spent around 24+ hours just trying to get past the first gym which was hell
Awesome dude I’m glad it’s finally working for you, it all evens out in the end because you’ll have some shinies that take FOREVER and some that are relatively quick!
@@ThisIsTheWayfarer yeah I'll update you next week on how it's going. I'm a very dedicated person and never give up easily. The goal is once I beat the game doing this challenge, I try catching as many possible shinies. That would be cool
Did a playthrough like this for my first run of the game :) Such a blast, and really got me to appreciate pokemon that I hadnt used before. Ended up with pidgeot, parasect, starmie, jynx, magmar, and nidoqueen! Really cool to see someone doing a video on the concept, it was a lot of fun watching your playthrough!
Thank you so much! Your play
through sounds awesome, you had some underrated Pokémon on your team which I think makes it even more fun 😄
@@ThisIsTheWayfarer I'm doing this challenge right now... I'm catching my first shiny which is going to be Spearow... I've got an 180+ catch combo. I'm in pain
@@Cloud_hair it’s great that you’re doing a shiny only run, just keep going and you’ll eventually get used to the monotony of hunting until it’s just exciting - I never really did shiny hunting until this video and since I stuck with it, I absolutely love it now 😄
I like Ivysaur the most to me it seems like a shiny that doesnt go to far, but is different in its own right. My first game ever was also LeafGreen and I picked Bulbasaur.
Great pick! I’ll add you to the raffle 😄🥳
I just discovered your channel and I love it! This video also finally explain the lets go shiny hunting method in a way i understand! Thanks so much. 100% deserves my sub :D
Woah that’s so lovely, thank you 😄 Really happy that you enjoyed the vid and that my explanation of the shiny hunting was good, as I wasn’t sure whether it was before posting 😅 Thank you so much for watching and commenting, and for subscribing! 🥳
@@ThisIsTheWayfarer :D
Hey man, just letting you know that as I understand it, the catch combo odds boost applies to all Pokémon, not just the first to spawn in. I’ve spent a very long time hunting in this game and I’ve always hunted with those odds in mind, and it seemed accurate to me at the time. I don’t know if more info has come out about how LGPE work, but to my understanding the odds boost is permanent until the combo is broken.
Hey dude, thanks for raising this with me, especially in such a polite way! I’ve had a few people comment misinformation and in a very poor manner so it’s nice to see someone raise a potentially valid point without getting impolite.
With that being said, I’m not sure if you’re correct or I am, it seems to be one of those complicated scenarios where it’s easy to get mixed up in how the games mechanics work. I agree that the odds are permanent until the chain is broken for sure, I think that much is clear - the only reason I differ and say that the fresh spawns are what the best odds come in on, is because from the research I did for this video, I understood it to be as follows:
The catch combo odds of 1/341.3 only apply if you continue catching new Pokémon, because of the way the game stores the data. Say a Pokémon appears at the 1/341.3 odds but it’s not a shiny, the game will sort of store that information, so even if that spawn pops out and then back in, it’s still remembering that it wasn’t a shiny to begin with, even though it’s a ‘new spawn’ - if you continue catching Pokémon however, the game has to produce new data for the new spawn, because it genuinely is a new spawn and not the same Pokémon just popping in and out of view every so often, all the while appearing like it’s a new spawn. ADrive had a video on it and unless I’ve misunderstood him (which is entirely possible), that’s what I understood it to be.
In short, catching new Pokémon over and over forces the game to produce genuinely fresh spawns at the 1/341.3 odds that you’ve worked for. If you don’t catch new Pokemon then the game recycles the same spawns over and over, at the default odds.
It's a surprise to see that you're underrated, cause your vids are absolutely amazing and full of quality; editing, storytelling, and more! It was entertaining to watch and stay throughout the video, a very worth it subscription💜 and I don't need to participate in the giveaway since I just have gen1-4 pokemon games but my favorite kanto pokemon is Venusaur and Vaporeon
This comment honestly blew me away, thank you so much for your kind words and I’m really happy to hear that you enjoyed the video and have subbed for future ones 😄🥳 Thank you also for letting me know that you’re not interested in the raffle, Venusaur and Vaporeon are both awesome choices for favourite Kanto Pokémon! 😄
Exactly he’s underrated
This made me wanna replay the game. It looks better than what I remember, maybe because of how eh the later games that aren't arceus is.
My favorite gen 1 is my overall fav with Venonat. Cutie pillow shaped friend.
You know what, I thought the exact same when replaying this - I wasn’t really expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised and it wasn’t at all like I remembered!
Venonat is an awesome choice, I’ll add you to the raffle 🥳😄
Im so glad that you used Seadra in this, it evolves into my favorite Pokèmon Kingdra.
People slept on these games simply because they were tired of Gen 1 remakes, but this game is really good for training Pokémon with Golden Bottle Caps and Shiny Hunting.
You can easily shiny hunt a Pokémon then get it to lvl 100 to get perfect stats with Bottle Caps and boost it with candy before trading it to a newer title for competitive play for the perfect Gen 1 team
@@OmnipotentSaiyancandy boost doesnt apply to other games if anyone read this
Shiny Nidoqueen also looks amazing! (I have multiple shiny Nidoqueen and Nidokings due to trading from my Pokémon Go).
As for my favourites if we are talking from the Anime I’d have to go with Magmar as my favourite episode as a kid was when Ash fought Blaine and I was absolutely mesmerised by Blaine’s Magmar. In the gaming universe I’d have to go with Gyarados and Arcanine (with a special mention to Cloyster, if we are talking gen 1 IYKYK)
I agree, I love both of them! They’re all great and unique choices, I’ll add you to the raffle 🥳😄
I really enjoyed this vid I love this content before I saw how many subscribers you had I figured u were on of the big content creators so really good work you pushed me to shiny hunt a little myself😅
Thanks so much dude, that’s a really kind comment and I’m glad that you enjoyed it! 😄 Good luck with your shiny hunting 🥳
such a quality video with very unique shiny pokemon choices! loved it! keep em comin!
Thanks so much dude, really glad you enjoyed the video and I hope you’ll enjoy the future ones 😄
When I was watching this video I was like wow this video is so good. Then I looked at the subscribers and I was blown away on how much work he puts for a small channel as a fellow small content creator I realize that no matter how much popularity you have you should put in the most work ever. Now I will clap for wayfarer 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Wow thank you so much for those kind words dude! I really appreciate it and I’m glad you enjoyed the video 🥳😄 Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, it looks like your comment was held for review for some reason!
Really loved the walkthrough. Not to mention really liked the shines
Thanks dude! Glad you enjoyed 😄
Wow! This is some great commentary and game play! keep up the good work, and I gotta say that my fav gen 1 pokemon is Gengar probably but my fav shiny from Gen 1 is Ponyta with its beautiful blue flames!
That’s so kind thank you so much! Really glad you enjoyed the video and those are some great choices for favourites, I’ll add you to the raffle 😄🥳 I bet you were over the moon in LA with the free shiny Ponyta!
Who as accidentally found a shiny Pokémon by luck
Found a shiny weedle in lets go pikachu almost immediately after entering viridian forest
Donphan (HG) while training my team and Pidgey (HG) while I was casually walking years after..
I found a shiny Magicarp in let’s go Eevee by accident
pokemon emerald but it was the tutorial battle and i had to kill it 💀
That is a villain origin story if I’ve ever heard one 😭😭
I'm so sorry about your dog. We're all now grieving too. :(
Your content is really good! I'm surprised you aren't that popular, keep up the great work! (Also My favorite Gen 1 Pokémon is Machamp.)
17:58 CEMENT! Das conk creat baybee!
I did not realize how desaturated shiny grimer looks in 3D. It's incredible
Smashed it dude, super fun and entertaining video! can't wait to see what else you produce!! also, 50th sub ;)
Thank you so much! Really glad you enjoyed the video and thanks a tonne for subscribing 😄🥳
My favorite is psyduck
Awesome, Psyduck is a fab pick for your favourite! I’ll add you to the raffle for the shinies 🥳
Just a great video. I was going to watch 5 min before started to work, but I couldn't stop till the end.
Congratulations! You earned it
Wow dude thanks, that means a lot and I’m glad you enjoyed it that much!
This video has made me restart Let’s Go Pikachu with this challenge. Got an oddish straight up to help with Gyms 1&2. Currently hunting Sandshrew before Cerulean. Charmander is a rare spawn in same place so I’m going to try for both and then I’m good until after Erika.
Great video!! 🎉
Awesome dude, good luck with Sandshrew and Charmander, I hope those go well for you 😄 Thanks so much, really glad you enjoyed it 🥳
Respect for your dog bro
Thank you so much, he was awesome and went peacefully in the end, so there’s that at least, I appreciate the kind words
@@ThisIsTheWayfarer no prob bro new sub earnt
Amazing editing
Thank you so much! Really glad you enjoyed the video 😄
I've also always really dug Seadra's Shiny as well! It's a shame it doesn't keep that color scheme when it evolves into Kingdra... The purple is nice, but it can't compare to that cobalt blue and crimson! 👌
My favourite Gen 1 Pokémon is Venusaur. Its normal and shiny forms are both amazing, which can make or break a Pokémon for me lol. I’m also a sucker for grass and poison types, as well as fairy, bug and water types too! Really enjoyed this video!
Thank you so much, really glad you enjoyed it! Venusaur is an awesome choice and was one of my favourites in this playthrough, I’ll add you to the raffle - with some good luck you might win a shiny Venusaur! 🥳😄
@@ThisIsTheWayfarer Ahhh that’d be amazing! Thanks for entering me!
Nidoqueen being one of your favorites, and it having such a good shiny... you sir, have great taste.
Thank you very much kind sir, I see you’re a fellow Nidoqueen fan 🥳😄
I hope you'll be making more Pokemon content. This was a good watch :)
Thank you so much, really happy you enjoyed it 😄 I definitely will be making some more Pokémon videos, but my aim is to post all kinds of challenges for games so there’ll be other stuff too 😊 If you just wanna stick around for the Pokémon stuff that’s totally cool, I’ll have a Legends Arceus shiny run coming soon (ish) 🥳
Wow man just came across your channel but it’s a sleeper keep up the good work I’ll say my fav gen 1 Pokémon has to be balbasuar you got a sub and the results come my birthday keep up the good work
Thanks so much dude! Really glad to hear you enjoyed it and happy that you’ve subbed 😄 Bulbasaur is a fab choice, I’ll add you to the raffle 🥳 That’d be a cool Birthday winning some shinies!
I’m a big shiny hunter but I’ve never tried in this game, just wasn’t the biggest fan of let’s go but I’ll make sure to try a run like this! Seemed really fun
Yeah I wasn’t really a fan of it when it released either dude! I will say tho you’re right, this was fun and it definitely gave me a new perspective on these games, they’re better than I remembered them 😄🥳
This was an awesome idea, I'll have to try this sometime. You got yourself a new subscriber keep up the pokemon content. 😊
Thanks so much! Really glad you enjoyed the video and I’m really happy to hear you’re subscribing! I play all sorts so I won’t always post Pokémon videos but I do have some ideas for upcoming ones, like a shiny only Legends Arceus run 🥳😄
love the video, you made it really really enjoyable to watch!! just started a shiny only playthrough in lets go eevee myself and already got myself a shiny bellsprout^^
Thank you so much! 😄 Nice, Bellsprout is a fantastic shiny to find, good luck for the rest of your run 🥳
You’re making me wanna play let’s go again, but only with shiny’s thanks 😂
Fantastic video my guy! I must say that my absolutely favorite gen 1 mon has to be Bulbasaur! Although it being most likely the weakest kanto starter. I just love that lil fella and every time i get one its always gotta be named Conrad no matter the gender 🤣
Thank you so much, that’s really kind and I really appreciate it 😄 Bulbasaur is awesome, (great choice) and I gotta respect the dedication to that naming, Conrad is a fab name for a Bulbasaur! I’ll add you to the raffle for the shinies 🥳
Great video and love all the starwars references throughout
crazy how much this game still holds up in 2024!
Great video man, deffo gonna go hunt some shinies after that I think, didn’t even know about the catch combo boosting shiny chances 😂. My only question is how come you didn’t trade kadabra to get alakazam?
Thanks dude, I’m really happy you enjoyed it 😄 Yeah me too, until I looked at doing this video I had no idea about all of the catch combo stuff, but as soon as I learned about it I was like holyyyy… this is gonna be awesome.
Great question! So the main reason is that I only have one switch and one copy of the game, meaning I couldn’t reliably trade for the evo. Second reason is that I love Jrose and his channel, so I figured that I’d give his mascot Pokémon some love, and third is that because I’m giving the shinies away anyway, someone will have a nice surprise when I trade him on! 🥳
If you liked this one, I’m working on a Legends Arceus shiny run atm, so hopefully you’ll enjoy that one too 😊
Really love this kinda content man! Keep it up. ❤
That’s so kind thank you dude! Really glad you enjoyed the video 🥳😄
Woow even below 1000 subs ur mic is really good and u have amazing content you definitely have my sub keep it up!
Thanks dude! My mic is definitely getting there, I had to play around with all kinds of settings to get it to work a bit better, but I think I’ve got it now so thanks for noticing 😊 Really glad you enjoyed the video and have decided to sub, that’s awesome 🥳😄
My favourite gen 1 pokémon is Venomoth, It has a really good shiny too, and great video by the way!
Venomoth is definitely underrated, great pick! I’ll add you to the raffle for the shinies, and thank you so much, really glad you enjoyed it 🥳
Love this video! your voice reminds me of a creepypasta narrator so I'm like waiting for some massive glitch or monster lol
I’m not sure how to take that 😂 But thank you either way, for watching and for enjoying the vid, I’m glad you did 😄
I just found you but my god you’re so underrated I am definitely subbing👍
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed and have chosen to sub 🥳😄
Love this concept! Lets go is my favorite games to shiny hunt in. My personal favorite pokemon is Pidgey 😊
(Just started my own shiny living dex in these games. Wish me luck 🤞)
Thanks dude! They’re such a fun way to hunt for shinies - I’m not really a fan of doing it through random encounters where you can’t see them in the overworld, so this one was great!
Good luck, that is a giant undertaking 😮
My favourite gen 1 pokémon is venomoth because it was one of the first shiny pokemon I've caught.
Awesome, Venomoth is underrated for sure, I’ll add you to the raffle 😄🥳
Cool video love shiny venasaur, also love the accent and the way you said glare haha.
Thanks dude! For the most part I can never really work out what my accent is 😂
@@ThisIsTheWayfarer after watching your vid I decided to give it a go too! I got jammy haha. Full odds pidgey and then full odds caterpie 😂 then hunted for cubone shiny in cave just past cerulean. I now have 3 shiny! Named my character link so ponyta is next shiny to hunt will nickname Epona!
@@lewisa6509 Congrats on the shinies 🥳 Sounds like a pretty cool team too 😄
Really enjoyed the video super entertaining excited for the next one!
Thank you so much dude! Really glad you enjoyed it and I can’t wait to make some more videos 😄
I just randomly came across your content, and I quite enjoyed it
Glad to hear you enjoyed it dude, thanks for watching and commenting 😄
For a channel with only 139 subs this video quality and editing is very good! Subbed!
Thank you so much! 😄 I only had 20 on Saturday so I am over the moon 🥳 Really happy to hear that you enjoyed the vid and have subbed for the future 😄
That venasaur is so cool, and super fast that is incredible
Thanks dude, Eureka was definitely one of the heroes of this challenge, I really enjoyed using him! I thought he was really fast too, I think he had a ‘best’ IV in speed but he was still a lot faster than I imagined 😅
Would you like to be included in the raffle for the shinies? 😊
Thanks for the opportunity to win these shinies! My fave gen 1 Pokémon is Charmeleon 💕
Not a problem 🥳 Charmeleon is a great choice and one you don’t see very often, I like it! I’ll add you to the raffle 😄
I wanted 3 Shiny Pidgey in Lets' Go for the full evolution line. I had a shiny stone and my second Pidgey took 551 Catch Combo! Had the algorithm reccomend this video by the way! Loved it!
Amazing video and so happy you caught Shiny Growlithe because ever since the series came out Arcanine has been my favorite Gen 1 starter because I love dogs
Thank you so much, I’m really glad you enjoyed it! Well I’ll add you to the raffle for the shinies and who knows, maybe you’ll win a shiny Arcanine 🥳😄
My favorite gen 1 pokemon is my favorite overall pokemon Diglett more specifically of the shiny variety
Awesome choice, Diglett is really cool! I’ll add you to the raffle for the shinies 🥳
I've never liked this game until i saw this video. After playing Scarlet & Violet (which i also liked), i can now appreciate how good graphics were on this game, i might get a copy soon)
That’s awesome dude I’m glad the video helped in that way 😊 I think that’s the main draw with this game, it’s quite easy to beat and we’ve been to Kanto so many times now, but it does have some clean graphics!
I'm currently replaying lets go, but this time the pikachu version. I played Eevee in 2019, loved the hell out of it and got the itch to replay it and saw Pikachu up on Ebay for only 30 Euros, so i had to snatch it haha-
These games are so underrated, it's kinda insane, they are genuinly amazing. Especially for me, i kinda "hate" competitive pokemon and always prefered the catching, which might be why i love lets go and arceus so much with the high catching-emphasis
I had no idea that was a shiny bulbasaur in the beginning until I saw the sparkle lol
Your so lucky to find a shiny bulbasaur in only 27 catch combos I found mine in 227 encounters
I know right? It was insanely quick! My Sandshrew bad luck made up for it a bit at least 😂
Honestly picking a favorite pokemon from just gen one is hard since there's a good few choices it's much easier to pick a favorite gen one shiny which for me has to be lickitung
Really good video!! Very sorry to hear about your dogs passing, I hope you’re doing alright
I gotta love one of the first golden shinies from gen 1 in the most useless Pokémon Magikarp, the model looks so clean in Scarlet and Violet!
Agreed! The gold looks so sweet in that game, I’ll add you to the raffle! 🥳🥳
This is a good video! My favorite generation one pokemon is a tie between krabby and wigglytuff. Wigglytuff is my favorite pokemon to use in pokemon unite and i love all the crab pokemon and krabby is my favorite one!
Ooo awesome choices, I love the Krabby line! I’ll add you to the raffle, thank you so much 😄🥳
Great video!!!! I too am a lover of Horsea line shinies! They are all truly special color combos 💙
Thank you so much! Really glad you enjoyed the video and I agree, I didn’t realise until I did this challenge how awesome they look 😄
Hey i think i know you Fernando does the channel Hefty517 ring a bell
@@Tacato8 Hey Tacato!! What a pleasant surprise to see you here 🙏🏼👋🏼 yes of course Hefty is amazing!
This video inspired me to start a fresh shiny-only run, really enjoyed all the tips. I find building the catch streak relaxing.
But super funny story - I also tried to go for Pidgey first. Got to a streak of 180+ and who is the first shiny to appear? A Rattata, going for as much of a full shiny dex as possible so begrudgingly broke the streak and caught.
Got another streak going on Pidgey, somewhere around 150’s…an ✨ Oddish ✨ appears 😂 😂 😂
That’s awesome dude, I love that! Yeah the hilarious thing about the catch combo is that it’s meant to be the best way to find a specific shiny, by boosting the odds of the species you’re catching, BUT, you’re seeing so many spawns on screen that you’re bound to find a few random ones while you’re doing it 😅😭
I think once I’ve finished the BDSP video I’m working on right now, I’m going to do an Eevee let’s go run with full odds and no use of the catch combo. I’m intrigued to see how easy or difficult that’ll be! Good luck with the run dude you’ll have to let me know how it goes!
I really liked that Let's Go had that shiny animation in the overworld. It was the first game imo that made shiny hunting accessible to me and I had a blast catching them.
Totally agree dude! It’s an awesome feature and I’m glad that it’s been used again in Arceus and SV 😄 It’s sort of like the competitive scene because it’s one of those features that was never really accessible to most people in the older gens, but now anyone can have a try at finding shinies or building a team. Really hope it sticks around for future titles and I think it will!
@@ThisIsTheWayfarer While I agree that being able to see Shinies in the overworld is great, I was specifically referring to the shiny aura's that appeared around the Pokemon in Let's Go. It made it really easy to see Shinies even if they only had minor alterations from their base form. I wish they would continue with that. Still enjoyed my shiny adventures in SV though.
@@ctkachuk08 Ahh sorry, you don’t just mean the fact that you can see the colour, you mean the little burst of stars? If so, agreed - Let’s Go started it, Arceus improved on it with the jingle, and then SV for some reason went nah we don’t like that 😅 I am looking forward to doing a shiny only SV run at some point though
me personaly i enjoy psychic types so id have to go far a alakazam, i love the spoons he holds and adds characteristics to him
Great choice for a favourite, I love Alakazam too! Well if you were to win the raffle for the shinies you’d end up with a shiny Alakazam as my Kadabra would evolve during the trade, so good luck! I’ll add you to the raffle 🥳
@@ThisIsTheWayfarer thank you! Love the vid
@@rubuxile814 Thanks so much! Really happy to hear that 😄
I just restarted a casual play through of this today and with the 1/4096 odds I caught a shiny pidgey. I’m catching one Pokémon at its lowest evolution point and evolving it throughout as I am trying to stay within the level cap of each gym to make the game somewhat more difficult without applying full on Nuzlocke rules.
Loved the video
Thank you so much dude! I would honestly love to take on some of the older games because they’re what I grew up with, but I can unfortunately only record using my Switch and not my 3DS 😞 I’ll have a Legends Arceus video coming soon as well as some other Pokémon challenges on the switch 😄
I was just thinking of doing some shiny hunting this way! My favorite gen 1 pokemon would have to be Jolteon!!
that was so epic! how on earth did you mange that? I’m going to attempt that now, you’ve inspired me! thank u
Awesome I’m glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching 😄 This was one of the easier games to do a shiny only challenge in so it’s a good place to start if you’d like to try yourself 😎
great video! love your voice and almost surprised you dont have more subs! ill defo sub :) also my fav gen one is squirtle as i started my pokemon journey with him back in leaf green!!
Thank you so much! Really glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for subscribing 😄 Squirtle is a fab pick, I’ll add you to the raffle for the shinies 🥳😄
Got my subscription! Keep up the good work!

Awesome video man!!! I just subbed :)

Thank you so much dude! That’s awesome and I’m really glad you enjoyed it 😄 Arcanine is such a solid choice, I adored mine in this video - I’ll add you to the raffle and who knows, maybe you’ll win it! 🥳😄
Thank you man I’m so glad Sandslash was in the thumbnail sandslash has been my favorite Pokémon since like 99 or 2000 ever since I saw Sandshrew beat up Pikachu in that one episode. I hated Pikachu he always misrepresented Pokémon and their fans everyone thought it was a cutie sissy thing to like because of Pikachu. so it was nice seeing Pikachu get beat up. ground types are just awesome in general
You’re welcome dude, glad you enjoyed the video! Sandslash was one of my favourites from the ones I used in this challenge, a really underrated Pokémon for sure 🥳 Would you like to be included in the raffle for the shinies?
@@ThisIsTheWayfarer yes dude that would be sweet
@@loganhewitt7963 consider it done 😄🥳
I just randomly came across your video. I find it crazy that I also had a childhood pup named Buddy (rip), I had a childhood cat named Garbo, and Arcanine is my all time favorite. Have a great day 🤙🏼
Hi dude, this was a lovely comment to read and I bet they were some awesome childhood pets 😊 Thanks for watching and sharing your story, I hope you have a great day too!
I’m doing this challenge and I’m just watching this on repeat while shiny hunting nidoran m since I love these type of videos.
Also R.I.P Buddy. He is in a better place now 🕊️🪦🙏
Great video! Pokemon let's go pikachu is one of my favorite pokemon games on the nintendo switch. The only shiny I got was a full odds shiny zubat so I was very impressed with your dedication!
Thanks so much dude! Wow a full odds Zubat is awesome, congrats! Glad you enjoyed the video 😄
ahhh I remember my first shiny in the old Pokemon games when I was a kid. I believe it was Pokemon Gold or silver for the old Gameboy, no color lol it was a shiny koffing in some cave. I didnt know what it was at the time but I remember seeing the stars on it and thought it was cool lol
My favourite Pokémon is squirtle and I’m actually doing a hunt for it rn in this game (but I’ve phased quite a bit lol)
Squirtle is awesome, good luck with the hunt I hope it doesn’t take you too long! I’ll add you to the raffle for the shinies 🥳
Pro tip, you dont have to keep catching after you max out the catch combo, if you just wait around that pokemon will keep spawning no matter what, its how i got my shiny diglet. Just caught 40 diglet and then waited around for a shiny to spawn. Took about 45min. after max combo so about an hour or so all together
Dude, you just got lucky at the 1/4096 odds with your Diglett, you absolutely have to keep catching the same species of Pokémon even after reaching 31, to get the best odds of 1/341.3.
Lovin this content from a smaller channel. Keep it up
Thanks dude, really glad you enjoyed it 🥳
I started a new play of this last week, decided to use Pokemon I’ve never used before. Found my shiny Oddish in Viridian Forest! Not sure who to add next though
Awesome dude, good luck with the hunting!
NAH BRO YOU MISSED OUT ON SHINY CHARIZARD DUDE BUT THEN AGAIN I RESPECT THE NO OVERLAPS OF TYPES! HAHAHA LMAO
My favourite Pokémon in gen 1 is snorlax it reminds me of my grampa who’s always sleeping in the couch. For that reason I created a special connection with snorlax
That’s an awesome choice and I love the reason behind it too! I’ll add you to the raffle 🥳😄
Your content quality is so good for the size of your channel u deserve more
Thanks so much dude that’s really kind! This is the first challenge video I’ve posted so hopefully as I release more, I’ll get more subs etc. - I’m kinda just happy people are enjoying it for now tho, I only had 20 subs 2 weeks ago, so this is already more than I could ever ask for 😅
Commenting and subscribing for a chance to win that Venusaur! This was a quality video and I enjoyed it very much. Will be checking out your content from now on. Good luck to everyone on the raffle :)
Awesome, thanks dude! I’ll add you to the raffle and I’m really glad you enjoyed the video 🥳😄
I just wish the game itself was better quality. Super nice to be able to find shinies though
fantastic video!! the promise of more pokemon content is exciting 👀
Thank you so much! I will definitely be doing some more Pokémon challenges in the near future - I’m taking a mini break to post something else first as these shiny challenges are mammoth edits and recording sessions, but I’ll be onto my Legends Arceus shiny only run ASAP 🥳😄
My #1 favorite pokemon is snorlax however my favorite shiny is probably charizard. BTW loved this video😊. Such a unique idea!!😊
Awesome choices for both! I have a shiny Charizard and he looks awesome so I’ll have to agree 😄 Glad you enjoyed the video and I’ll add you to the raffle for the shinies 🥳
