Like if they would have made it so that you can target Pokemon and see a sparkle next to it's name at least it wouldn't have been as infuriating because there are far too many shinies with barely noticeable differences, especially small Pokemon like Tadbulb.
@@emson1710 I personally enjoyed Scarlet a lot more than PLA, but it's preference I guess. I can see why people don't like either. I have 140 hours in Scarlet so far and I didn't get anywhere near that in PLA.
Scarlet and Violet come close but Arceus nails it with a simple shiny spawn sound. Being let known that theres a shiny is amazing so you don't miss it or despawn it.
I totally agree dude, that sparkle and noise are SO helpful! The Starly I caught in this video was a perfect example, because there is NO way I’d have seen it without them 😅
Hmm I see where you’re coming from, but I think the problem with SV is that you might move completely out of the area without seeing that shiny to begin with, and so you would miss it - at least with PLA there’s no way you’re missing it, because you hear the jingle and you see the sparkle and it’s obvious where it is 😄
Completely unrelated to the video and idk if anybody else noticed this but commander kamado’s team before the legendary cutscene consisted of a snorlax braviary clefable and golem which all evolve in different ways high friendship, level up, stone, and trade and professor Rowan studies Pokémon’s evolution so I thought that was kind of fun 😅😅
The sandwiches from Scarlet & Violet certainly made it easier for shiny hunting, but the audio/visual feedback of the overworld sparkle, combined with mass outbreaks is what puts PLA at the top for me.
@@shadowoflugiai got a full shiny team with the help of sandwiches, so yes, they do work, but prepare to reload your game a few times as the sandwich time are kinda short.
Legends Arceus is by far the best to shiny hunt in. It's insane how much the sparkle and simple sound effect helps, especially for subtle shinies. I feel bad for colorblind people trying to hunt in Scarlet/Violet, since they removed both the visual sparkle and the sound cue- having to check every mon with the overworld fights must be annoying. I'm not colorblind myself, but hahve constant paranoia when playing because I'm constantly worrying that I'll just walk right by one without noticing ;w;
I couldn’t agree more, I’ve said the same thing about accessibility so often - it’s nice that anyone with a visual or auditory impairment can hunt without issue in PLA, compared to SV where it’s restrictive - I don’t think it’s a bad thing in terms of challenge (although it is daunting) but it is when you consider those with impairments 😕
PLA is definitely a strong contender for easiest game to shiny hunt in, the little jingle helps and I love the increased odds from perfecting a pokemon's dex entry. I also think Scarvio is a tough contender, theres so many ways to shiny hunt it's so close to perfect- if PLA's overworld shiny jingle was in SV it would be my favourite.
I love this comment - my thinking was always that he was just a bit lazy or had his head in the clouds, but the reveal of him being a poor merchant, likely because he’s out studying the deities instead ready to unleash chaos on Hisui, is amazing.
i already know that eusine is gonna be my favorite teammate of this playthrough seeing as his namesake is one of my favorite pokémon characters . gratz on all the shinies and on a great video !!
I love that you’re happy about Eusine as he was always one of my favourite characters too! He was definitely one of my favourite members in this challenge, and I think he suits the name too 😄 Thanks so much dude, really glad you enjoyed it 🥳
as an experienced shiny hunter i think sun and moon are the best games for it specifically cause of the SOS method. if your preparation is good enough and you pay attention you're pretty much guaranteed to find your target with enough patience. excited to see more stuff from you, i hope your channel gets big :)
Pokemon legends is such an important game to me. I was really cynical about when it first came out, i _really_ nitpicked some of the art and animation, but my mind changed a lot as i kept playing. i also fell in love w the characters and i love akari and rei so, so much. the game is SO smooth and the gameplay is one of the best in the series, you feel like you're part of the world all the time. it's just fun! i enjoyed it thoroughly as someone who prefers catching instead of battling. even then the battles were cool, too. i'm so happy they're expanding on the PL series. the game is turning three years old, what the hell!? this is a shiny hunting video but your storytelling just brought back feelings about this game:p
Super glad to hear how important this game is to you, because it really is awesome 😄 3 years is crazy! I’m glad that we’re returning with ZA but yeah, that’s blown my mind a little - I didn’t even have a channel back then! I’m very glad to hear that you enjoyed the storytelling aspect too, I do try to make the shiny only challenges almost mini story reviews along the way, with a retelling of my journey and feelings on the game. It makes me really happy to know that it brought back some feelings for you 😄
Aww thank you so much, great to see you’re back watching again and enjoying it too 🥳 ORAS is an awesome choice, I never really did shiny hunting back then but I remember liking the way it was done in that game, it’s a really fun method!
Luckily the shiny rate is quicker, so the lack of speed-up makes this video infinitely better than any other "Pokemon ________ but I can only use Shinies!" video
Honestly? PLA is the best one to shiny hunt in. I've never had more luck or gotten more shinies then I did in this game. I still have an automatic reponse of joy and excitement whenever I hear the shiny sound from the game. I hope they bring something like that back in future games (C'moooon Legends Celebi. BE A THING)
@@LuciferLovesDucks666 That’d be a really cool one to get, seeing as we never did get a Pokémon Z 😞 In truth I think I’d be happy with any kind of new Legends game, there’s so much potential there.
Hey Kigichi, I did the randomiser for the raffle today and congrats because you won 🥳🥳 All of the shinies are yours as long as you have either a copy of the game or a Pokémon home membership to trade, and as long as you still want to 😊 I’ll also need your Discord just so we can organise how/when to trade so if you email me (my address should be on the about section of the channel) we can get things sorted asap 😎
Dude I just found ur Channel and I am hella impressed with your ways if story telling. I’ve watched probably a hundred PLA videos, and not a single one has gone through the story and told a unique story quite like you have. Instead of being bored of the story like most videos make me, this one genuinely held my interest and made it sound almost new to me even if it wasn’t. Much love, will subscribe, keep it up with the awesome videos 💕 edit: you already know I’m watching the let’s go vid now
This comment has genuinely made my day, thank you so much 🥹 I really tried to make it more like a story so for even one person to think that’s how it came across and was done well, makes me so happy 😄 Will try my best to keep putting out videos you enjoy, I try to do 2 Pokemon videos for every 1 video of something else, so there’ll be more on the way 🥳
I personally love the rewarding feeling of finding a shiny in any of the OG games that have the 1/8,000 something odds. It’s always a nice surprise to find one!
Totally get that dude and I think you’re spot on, finding a 1/8192 odds shiny must be a crazy feeling 🤯😄 I’ve been playing Pokémon (every main series game) since 2001 and I’ve never come across a full odds 1/8192, which just goes to show how rare they are and how rewarding it’d be to find one!
this is such a great video and you definitely deserve more recognition .! you’re editing and the way you explain the game is very entertaining and easy to follow. i think the best game to shiny hunt in is pla. there’s so many options and you really do feel like your efforts are rewarded (compiling / perfecting an entry) + the alpha’s being able to be shiny makes for extra fun hunts :)
This comment has blown me away, thank you so much dude, I’m really glad you enjoyed the video 🥳 I completely agree! LA is just so fun and accessible, I really enjoy how they made this game 😄
32:37 that’s why cyrus held his believe deeply to recreate the universe even though everyone except his team mates thinks he’s evil. Coz of her grandma’s advice all this time
I CAN’T BELIEVE you chose to _battle_ the Starly to catch it! Especially right after saying that you knew you needed to be “more careful”! 😭 Good thing you caught it though lol.
Ayyy, been waiting since the first shiny vid (: ❤ In terms of my favourite method of shiny hunting, that has to go to let’s go, for being an easy, simple and fairly controllable method that lets you find shinies you want fairly quickly, however, in terms of excitement and fun, the ultra wormholes in USUM are my favourite as the odds are not only increased, but you also have the chance to find shiny legends without a lot of struggle and resetting
That’s so awesome to hear, thanks for watching dude I hope you enjoy it 🥳 I love that, Let’s Go is a fantastic game to hunt for shinies in but you’re spot on, USUM had a really exciting gameplay loop for shinies when you think about it 😄
@@JustBloutusum is fun. But pla is better for Diversity. As you can easily get almost any shiny, I’m not long. Compared to the few in the ultra wormwholes
PLA is my favourite pokemon game that has ever come out by such a long way. It's the first and only game I've fully committed to shiny hunting in. It's so much fun just running around and hearing that little jingle.
Thanks dude! It was a lot of effort but also a lot of fun - I’m working on a Scarlet shiny only run right now so I’ll have another video just like this soon 😊
I love seeing these odds breakdowns and how you got them. I’ve been working on a new play focused on dex completion to get shiny charm, and found 12 shinies so far. Including a full odds mr mime, and my favorite, first in the dex, shiny alpha female heracross with adamant nature. I replaced my starter so fast.
PLA was definitely the most fun shiny hunting I've ever had. It actually got me into shiny hunting. Seeing the stars and the sound in the overworld were so great in helping. There were maybe 3 or 4 shinies that spawned and I only heard the sound, so it definitely saved me from missing on some. Also Shinx was my 1st shiny in PLA as well! 8 hours in, and in an outbreak in the same area too! I have a friend who said she got a shiny shinx 30 minutes into the game. One time I caught 2 shiny Zubat in the same outbreak.
I love this comment dude, glad you had such a good experience in this game, it’s amazing 🤩 Those stories are fab, 30 mins for a Shinx is awesome and 2 Zubat in one is crazy 😮
@@ThisIsTheWayfarer I decided to finally try out Let's Go Pikachu and bought it today. I just got a shiny pidgey (at full odds) just running around viridian forest trying to catch a bulbasaur. Only an hour and a half in 😂😂😂😂
They are but the amazing thing with Arceus is the shiny sound and sparkle are both present unlike Scarlet and Violet - that gives you a good chance of finding them even if they do have similar colours 😊
Every time I do another playthrough of a Pokemon game I make sure to have at least 1 shiny on my team. For example, when I played through Shield doing a mono ghost run, I hatched a shiny Honedge. Before PLA came out I ran Lets Go again and got a Shiny Paras. It wasnt exactly what I was looking for but Huzin, my beloved female shiny Paras, put in some work. I grew attached to it, which is why when I got PLA on release I was shocked that my first shiny was another female Paras. Huzin came back to me and I once again used it until I finished the game. I love that little buddy.
Dude thank you so much for commenting this, I love hearing about people’s Pokémon stories and this is an exceptional one 😄 Great idea to do game to game also as a tradition, that’s awesome - Huzin will go down in legend.
I did the same thing, only playing with shiny. I do it on Black 2, so far i have 168 shinys. Trust me, it’s so painful, literally 195 days. I also traded my oun shiny pokemon from my old games. I do all of this in my retroarch emulator on ios. But still, I also have a hard goal, catching female shiny combee to complete my shiny pokedex
This video popped up on my page and I'm glad I clicked, the quality is amazing! Keep up the work cause you deserve the world my dude! Why didn't you pop up in my feed sooner? This may seem strange but Pokemon Quest was my favourite game to shiny hunt in, I have no explanation apart from sentimental reason as my first ever shiny was a full odds shiny Eevee that will forever be stuck in block form. If I have to choose a main line series game, it'd have to be PLA, I bought it two weeks ago and I've already gotten quite a few shinies and having the sparkle noise really adds a lot!
Wow this comment is so kind dude, thank you very much 😄 Really glad you enjoyed it! Oh nice choice dude, I had no idea you could find shinies in that game 😮 That’s really interesting! Congrats on the shinies in both that and LA - totally agree, the sparkle and noise are awesome!
i think pokemon legends arceus is the best game to shiny hunt in, because i love how the sparkles look and the noise when they spawn, and also the fact that you can catch almost any alpha as well and its amazing to find an alpha shiny pokemon for your team.
I definitely think PLA is the easiest to shiny hunt in just based off the fact they make a sound when they spawn. Thanks for the opportunity for the shinies! Loved the video
It’s such a good mechanic isn’t it, I love how accessible it is in this game 😄 No probs at all dude, thank you for watching, I’m really glad you enjoyed it 🥳
I always interpreted the story of arceus as us coming from the future, where people arent scared of pokemon, not us coming from a world of no pokemon, because the characters say we are fearless facing pokemon, so i always though of it as us use to seeing people and pokemon living in harmony in the future, and thats why we arent scared, but i like your interpretation too!
This is such a fantastic interpretation so thank you for sharing! I love the thought process behind it, and I also love that you word it as ‘interpretation’ because some people have come barrelling in saying I’m wrong and all sorts 😂 The reason I chose to interpret it in the way I did, is because the game asks you at the very start whether you know what a Pokémon is, and you’re actually allowed to say ‘no’ 😅 So you can pretty much choose what you think imo, you can either say ‘yes’ and work on the interpretation that you’re from a future where Pokémon and people live together and there’s no fear (probably Dawn/Lucas in all honesty) or you can say ‘no’ and pretend like you’ve never met a Pokemon before, and maybe that’s why you’re not so fearful of them 🥳 Love the comment and love the critical thinking, great job!
Hell yes! A new only shinies in Pokemon Legends Arceus! I have been blessed- truly no better time to replay Arceus than this month. Which i have been doing! Thank you
Bruh finally someone who posted about Pokémon Legends Arceus!!!! Such an underrated game and one of my favs…. And honestly, I think that Pokémon Legends Arceus has the most fun and unique shiny hunting methods… such a fun game and it will always have a spot in my heart! But I also want to know, what other kind of content will you be releasing in the future? Thanks!
Thanks dude! I’ll probably release all kinds to be honest, I’m planning on doing some more Pokémon challenges but I like playing Jurassic World Evolution, anything Star Wars related etc. - it mostly just depends on what kind of challenges I’m feeling up to. At the moment I’m working on a Pokemon Shield run where I can only use Baby Pokemon, that’s been pretty fun so far 😊
Yeah I like Star Wars/Jurassic park games, AND movies aswell, both a huge part of my life… and wow Pokémon with only using baby Pokémon is a challenge I barely see….. and I’ve never seen one on s&s….. and you’re welcome, I’ll start watching more of your content, I subbed!
To be honest I chickened out on the Kamado fight for the longest time (I mean like ) before finally completing it. I’ve gotten some shinies before but I don’t think I would’ve had the patience to do something like this. Well done!
The best game to shiny hunt in is Legends Arceus of Scarlet and Violet. The shiny sound is easier to not miss shiniesin Legends arceus while the rates for shinies are easier with sandwiches!
I love shiny hunting in Legends purely for the sound effect and the sparkles, but I gotta say SV still takes the lead as the best Pokemon to shiny hunt in the series even without the special effects. The reason is simple: you can quickly and easily force the outbreak you are looking for, and you can greatly increase your odds with sandwiches. Sure, Outbreak odds in Legends are higher than SV, but you gotta remember you only get a handful of Pokémon per Legends outbreak (24 max, I think?) so unless you find the shiny within those, you will have to go back to the village and reset for the outbreak again... which is 100% luck based, sadly. Meaning you can take hours, even days to find the outbreak you want, and then get 0 shinies out of it. Meanwhile, once you get the outbreak in SV, you are set until the next day. Just save the game, pop a sandwich and keep repeating until you find the shiny you wanted. TLDR: Legends is amazing for shiny hunting randomly when you don't have a set target in mind. But SV is far superior for shiny hunting specific Pokemon you want/need.
At first i wasnt really a fan of pla as much as other games but recently ive gotten back into it and have been loving shiny hunting and other things. Winning this would be awesome.
PLA is super fun to shiny hunt in. It's the only game in the entire series where I've felt compelled to try and complete a shiny dex- and I'm about 35% done! Other than spacetime distortion pokemon and the burmy line it's a super fun process of just exploring and catching.
PLA is the best game to shiny hunt in , not only because it's relatively simple but also because of how free the game makes me feel and how well made it is.
Thank you so much dude, it’s great to see you’re back watching and enjoying 🥳 Really appreciate those kind words, fingers crossed it will do as well as the first! How’s the new house coming along? 😄
I'm doing this right now as a nuzlocke. I thought it would be a great way to randomize the team like a traditional nuzlocke. The only stuff I'm allowed to hunt are the Pokemon I need for requests, as I'm only allowed to use shinnies for requests too. My goal is to fill Jubilife Village with as many shiny Pokemon as I can. I'm also only allowed to use non-shiny Pokemon for filling Pokedex requests, but I can't have any non-shinies on my team to progress the story. Ironically, my starter ended up being a full odds Ponyta, when I hadn't progressed far enough to get access to that request yet, and I hadn't even gotten it's Pokedex entry to level 10 yet, so it was true full odds.
A year removed, I finally got back into PLA and almost finished the game and started shiny hunting. Got a shiny Ralts after a couple of hours that ran away, but I saved, so I got it on the second try! Going into my senior year, so I should probably be working on my college apps lmao, but heyyyyy. PLA definitely the most satisfying to shiny hunt. Nothing compares to the sparkle and sound
PLA is THE BEST game to shiny hunt. The sound and the sparkles are so nice and so clean. I just fell in love with this game and still shiny hunting today . it’s just TOOOOOOO GOOOOOD

I think the best game to shiny hunt in is SV because I once got 5 shiny Pokemon from 1 sparkling sandwich, so 5 in 30 minutes and 2 times I got them a couple seconds later
@@johnpaul1885 Hiya dude, I don’t have a Discord link/server atm if that’s what you mean? I just mean that whoever wins will need to have an account so that I can add them and we can sort out how to trade the shinies 😊
PLA seems the most fun to shiny hunt, mostly because there are sparkles and sound notification when encountered. This way you don't have to be 100% engaged with the game while hunting for hours or even days for the same shiny'mon.
Id say any of the old Sinnoh games or HG/SS are fun to shiny hunt purely due to the fact of the cute charm shiny glitch. But modern era probably Arceus or Lets Go games are fun too
i normally don’t purposely shinyhunt but PLA has to be my favorite to get shinies in, the sound of the shinies spawning is just amazing :3 i also love shiny hunting in older games (like X) but they’re not my favorite
I believe while people thino that pokemon legends arceus is the best to hunt shinies in,mine in pokemon X and Y. The thrill of having a group battle with some pokemon and one shiny sparks more joy. Sure it may be also a bit like a little hard. The hard work having to catch a floette before so that it can use its special move,then having a group of pokemon.
I honestly still cannot believe how lucky that one was dude, it blew my mind when I came across it 😂 Thank you so much, I’m really glad you enjoyed the video 🥳 Good luck finding that Shiny Electivire, I’m sure you’ll get it soon!
Glad you liked it dude! Poor Frank lmao, it’s the most traumatic memory the bloke ever had and it’s been memed into oblivion 😭 Still had to use it tho 😂
that was so cool! the fact that so many just appeared at full odds and not in a mass encounter. You stumbled on a blessing! I’ve also watched your video on completing lets go pikachu and was wondering if you could give me a few extra tips on shiny hunting?
Thanks, and thanks for watching another video too 😄 I was for sure lucky with the full odds finds, but I did spend a tonne of time roaming around looking for shinies! Sure! Although, I’m not so much of an expert myself 😅 If you want tips for Legends Arceus, I’d say to make good use of the throwable items which stun Pokémon, as they REALLY help with catching shinies, take your time when trying to catch one so that you don’t faint or lose it, and see if you can complete the Pokédex to obtain the shiny charm, as that’ll really help you find more of the full odds ones 😊
this game will have a permanent place in my heart, being the only other pokemon game i completed other than Fire Red. Having beaten Volo and caught and registered every mon and even a box full of shinies. Too bad i played it in my Collage roommate's switch :/
Loved that video!! Great editing :D My favorite game to hunt on is definitely PLA, it just has that thrilling feeling. Although a close second is let's go!
I also think PLA is the best game to shiny hunt because you can just fly around the map for a while and you’ll most likely find a shiny or you could do a outbreak and one really quickly
Yep totally agree dude, it’s a shame I couldn’t do more of the flying in this challenge tbh but as I only unlocked it really late it wasn’t on the cards - it’s SO useful in the postgame for hunting 😄
I think pokemon scarlet and violet are the best games using the shiny charm and the sandwiches, I manage to find multiple shinies using the outbreaks too. Also great video loved every second!
Awesome dude, I CANT WAIT to start a Scarlet shiny only challenge for the channel, comments like this make me excited! Thanks so much, I’m really glad you enjoyed the video 🥳
My first shiny that I found I arceus was a beedoof and ot was when I first started the game and I tried to not get into a cutsean and I ENDED UP GOING IN THAT CUTSEAN AND I LOST THE SHINY BEDOFF
@@ThisIsTheWayfarer It actually was Pokémon shield was my first Pokémon game I ever got because I used to play Pokémon coliseum at my friend's house and wanted it so bad, but my parents couldn't afford it so when I went to college I saved up and got a Pokémon game :)
Did you ever consider a shiny only run where the only things you are allowed to catch straight up are shinies? Outside of the forced tutorial spawns it is entirely possible and grants a whole new level of rng based challenge into the run. Due to the restrictions of basically 0 mass outbreaks, full odds catches and having to play a bit smarter to achieve maximum dex points for progression, it makes the run feel a lot more about going for that rare hunt, with the added excitement of being PLA.
I'm not really a shiny hunter but about half of the hours I spent on legends Arceus i spent them shiny hunting. You are right, it is so fun to shiny hunt in this game
Pla is a fun game to hunt in, but I would say scarlet and violet are the best as I feel you get more encountered combined with good odds make the hunting easier
You got such cool shinies from this! Your video made me wanna try this challenge in PLA too. I love shiny hunting in PLA, the sparkles and sound are both so helpful, I wish they were in SV so bad haha.
Awesome thanks dude, good luck with the hunting if you do try it out, it’s a lot of fun 😄 Totally agree with you, I wish they were too 😭 LA was just awesome!
I think the best game to shiny hunt in is lets go, the catch combos are so rewarding and you still get a big rush of excitement when you finally get the shiny you were grinding for
Great choice dude! Totally agree, that’s a really fun game to shiny hunt in, plus it makes a relatively easy game have a bit more challenge and fun to it 😄
Shiny hunting in legends is fantastic thanks to the visual and audio cues that the game gives you, but I also really like shiny hunting in scarlet and making shiny sandwiches (assuming, of course, you get a sliver of herba mystica after doing 30+ raids in a row 😭)
I'm pretty sure the protag is meant the Platinum protag from Present-Day Sinnoh, not a person from our real world, given the protagonist's already existing talent for pokemon catching and battling, their resemblance to Dawn/Lucas, and that Cylene comments that they looked 15, meaning they'd have already been through the events of Platinum.
It’s implied that it is the protagonist from those games, but I personally prefer to believe otherwise. You’re literally asked two minutes into the game whether you know what a Pokémon is or not, so I think it’s open to interpretation 😊
Thank you so much, this is a lovely comment and I really appreciate it 😄 I’m working on a Scarlet shiny only run at the moment so I’ll have more for you soon!
I probably had the most fun shiny hunting in Let's go Pikachu since it gave me fond memories of the original pokemon yellow game, although they changed how to catch pokemon it still my favourite game for gen 1
Thanks dude, glad you enjoyed 😄 Oh god you’re right, I don’t think I knew how much they ran away in battle at the time of recording, but I’ve just been completing the dex entries in LA for an upcoming video, and they LOVE to do a runner! Good spot 😅
PLA def is the most fun to shiny hunt in. The sparkles when they spawn is so nice I was really disappointed when I didn't see them in SV.
Totally agree as it’s my personal favourite too 🥳 I was also disappointed with that in SV 😞
And th shiny noise!
Like if they would have made it so that you can target Pokemon and see a sparkle next to it's name at least it wouldn't have been as infuriating because there are far too many shinies with barely noticeable differences, especially small Pokemon like Tadbulb.
This is why I didn’t buy SV I didn’t really like the look of the game it looked really odd compared to other Pokémon and I really enjoy PLA
@@emson1710 I personally enjoyed Scarlet a lot more than PLA, but it's preference I guess. I can see why people don't like either. I have 140 hours in Scarlet so far and I didn't get anywhere near that in PLA.
Scarlet and Violet come close but Arceus nails it with a simple shiny spawn sound. Being let known that theres a shiny is amazing so you don't miss it or despawn it.
I totally agree dude, that sparkle and noise are SO helpful! The Starly I caught in this video was a perfect example, because there is NO way I’d have seen it without them 😅
But at least in SV, the wild shinies don’t despawn
Hmm I see where you’re coming from, but I think the problem with SV is that you might move completely out of the area without seeing that shiny to begin with, and so you would miss it - at least with PLA there’s no way you’re missing it, because you hear the jingle and you see the sparkle and it’s obvious where it is 😄
@@undertaleandminecraftfan9184yeah but unlesss you don’t save before you won’t lose them
@@LuciferLovesDucks666 oh yeah I totally forgot about that because of my no saving rule, great point!
Completely unrelated to the video and idk if anybody else noticed this but commander kamado’s team before the legendary cutscene consisted of a snorlax braviary clefable and golem which all evolve in different ways high friendship, level up, stone, and trade and professor Rowan studies Pokémon’s evolution so I thought that was kind of fun 😅😅
That’s a great spot dude, never noticed that! 😄
The sandwiches from Scarlet & Violet certainly made it easier for shiny hunting, but the audio/visual feedback of the overworld sparkle, combined with mass outbreaks is what puts PLA at the top for me.
I haven’t really tried shiny hunting in SV, much less using sandwiches. Do they really work? 😅
@@shadowoflugiai got a full shiny team with the help of sandwiches, so yes, they do work, but prepare to reload your game a few times as the sandwich time are kinda short.
Legends Arceus is by far the best to shiny hunt in. It's insane how much the sparkle and simple sound effect helps, especially for subtle shinies. I feel bad for colorblind people trying to hunt in Scarlet/Violet, since they removed both the visual sparkle and the sound cue- having to check every mon with the overworld fights must be annoying.

I couldn’t agree more, I’ve said the same thing about accessibility so often - it’s nice that anyone with a visual or auditory impairment can hunt without issue in PLA, compared to SV where it’s restrictive - I don’t think it’s a bad thing in terms of challenge (although it is daunting) but it is when you consider those with impairments 😕
I agree
PLA is definitely a strong contender for easiest game to shiny hunt in, the little jingle helps and I love the increased odds from perfecting a pokemon's dex entry. I also think Scarvio is a tough contender, theres so many ways to shiny hunt it's so close to perfect- if PLA's overworld shiny jingle was in SV it would be my favourite.
Volo being a merchant that doesnt really sell you anything is something i never picked up on until i finished the game
I love this comment - my thinking was always that he was just a bit lazy or had his head in the clouds, but the reveal of him being a poor merchant, likely because he’s out studying the deities instead ready to unleash chaos on Hisui, is amazing.
i already know that eusine is gonna be my favorite teammate of this playthrough seeing as his namesake is one of my favorite pokémon characters . gratz on all the shinies and on a great video !!
I love that you’re happy about Eusine as he was always one of my favourite characters too! He was definitely one of my favourite members in this challenge, and I think he suits the name too 😄 Thanks so much dude, really glad you enjoyed it 🥳
Seeing this on my recommended brought back memories. Finding a full odds shiny alpha Luxray was one of my luckiest moments in gaming
as an experienced shiny hunter i think sun and moon are the best games for it specifically cause of the SOS method. if your preparation is good enough and you pay attention you're pretty much guaranteed to find your target with enough patience. excited to see more stuff from you, i hope your channel gets big :)
Love that choice dude! Thank you so much I really appreciate that 😄 Glad you enjoyed the video 🥳
What’s the sos method?
Pokemon legends is such an important game to me. I was really cynical about when it first came out, i _really_ nitpicked some of the art and animation, but my mind changed a lot as i kept playing. i also fell in love w the characters and i love akari and rei so, so much. the game is SO smooth and the gameplay is one of the best in the series, you feel like you're part of the world all the time. it's just fun! i enjoyed it thoroughly as someone who prefers catching instead of battling. even then the battles were cool, too. i'm so happy they're expanding on the PL series. the game is turning three years old, what the hell!? this is a shiny hunting video but your storytelling just brought back feelings about this game:p
Super glad to hear how important this game is to you, because it really is awesome 😄 3 years is crazy! I’m glad that we’re returning with ZA but yeah, that’s blown my mind a little - I didn’t even have a channel back then!
I’m very glad to hear that you enjoyed the storytelling aspect too, I do try to make the shiny only challenges almost mini story reviews along the way, with a retelling of my journey and feelings on the game. It makes me really happy to know that it brought back some feelings for you 😄
yay i'm so glad you posted again!! i really love these shiny-only playthroughs!! & my fave is definitely oras, i'm huge on dexnav hunting
Aww thank you so much, great to see you’re back watching again and enjoying it too 🥳 ORAS is an awesome choice, I never really did shiny hunting back then but I remember liking the way it was done in that game, it’s a really fun method!
Luckily the shiny rate is quicker, so the lack of speed-up makes this video infinitely better than any other "Pokemon ________ but I can only use Shinies!" video
Honestly? PLA is the best one to shiny hunt in. I've never had more luck or gotten more shinies then I did in this game. I still have an automatic reponse of joy and excitement whenever I hear the shiny sound from the game. I hope they bring something like that back in future games (C'moooon Legends Celebi. BE A THING)
Totally agree dude, it’s my personal favourite too! Ohh Legends Celebi would be AWESOME 😎
Legends zygard is also something we need
@@LuciferLovesDucks666 That’d be a really cool one to get, seeing as we never did get a Pokémon Z 😞 In truth I think I’d be happy with any kind of new Legends game, there’s so much potential there.
Hey Kigichi, I did the randomiser for the raffle today and congrats because you won 🥳🥳 All of the shinies are yours as long as you have either a copy of the game or a Pokémon home membership to trade, and as long as you still want to 😊 I’ll also need your Discord just so we can organise how/when to trade so if you email me (my address should be on the about section of the channel) we can get things sorted asap 😎
Hi hi! I sent you an email. Please ignore that it says it's from Tony Stark, I did that years ago and can't change it T.T@@ThisIsTheWayfarer
Dude I just found ur Channel and I am hella impressed with your ways if story telling. I’ve watched probably a hundred PLA videos, and not a single one has gone through the story and told a unique story quite like you have. Instead of being bored of the story like most videos make me, this one genuinely held my interest and made it sound almost new to me even if it wasn’t. Much love, will subscribe, keep it up with the awesome videos 💕 edit: you already know I’m watching the let’s go vid now
This comment has genuinely made my day, thank you so much 🥹 I really tried to make it more like a story so for even one person to think that’s how it came across and was done well, makes me so happy 😄 Will try my best to keep putting out videos you enjoy, I try to do 2 Pokemon videos for every 1 video of something else, so there’ll be more on the way 🥳
This was an amazing run, absolutely loved it.
Wow thanks so much dude, really glad you enjoyed it 😄
I personally love the rewarding feeling of finding a shiny in any of the OG games that have the 1/8,000 something odds. It’s always a nice surprise to find one!
Totally get that dude and I think you’re spot on, finding a 1/8192 odds shiny must be a crazy feeling 🤯😄 I’ve been playing Pokémon (every main series game) since 2001 and I’ve never come across a full odds 1/8192, which just goes to show how rare they are and how rewarding it’d be to find one!
this is such a great video and you definitely deserve more recognition .! you’re editing and the way you explain the game is very entertaining and easy to follow.
i think the best game to shiny hunt in is pla. there’s so many options and you really do feel like your efforts are rewarded (compiling / perfecting an entry) + the alpha’s being able to be shiny makes for extra fun hunts :)
This comment has blown me away, thank you so much dude, I’m really glad you enjoyed the video 🥳
I completely agree! LA is just so fun and accessible, I really enjoy how they made this game 😄
32:37 that’s why cyrus held his believe deeply to recreate the universe even though everyone except his team mates thinks he’s evil. Coz of her grandma’s advice all this time
Good spot!
I CAN’T BELIEVE you chose to _battle_ the Starly to catch it! Especially right after saying that you knew you needed to be “more careful”! 😭 Good thing you caught it though lol.
Even after I try adopting a more careful approach, I’m just too chaotic for it 😅 Paid off tho!
Ayyy, been waiting since the first shiny vid (: ❤
In terms of my favourite method of shiny hunting, that has to go to let’s go, for being an easy, simple and fairly controllable method that lets you find shinies you want fairly quickly, however, in terms of excitement and fun, the ultra wormholes in USUM are my favourite as the odds are not only increased, but you also have the chance to find shiny legends without a lot of struggle and resetting
That’s so awesome to hear, thanks for watching dude I hope you enjoy it 🥳
I love that, Let’s Go is a fantastic game to hunt for shinies in but you’re spot on, USUM had a really exciting gameplay loop for shinies when you think about it 😄
pla is def the most fun to hunt in
Agreed dude, it’s my personal favourite 🤩
I prefer usum but pla hunting is fun
Fr, i literally loved hunting in pla that i hunted every single shiny pokémon.
@@JustBloutusum is fun. But pla is better for Diversity. As you can easily get almost any shiny, I’m not long. Compared to the few in the ultra wormwholes
PLA is my favourite pokemon game that has ever come out by such a long way. It's the first and only game I've fully committed to shiny hunting in. It's so much fun just running around and hearing that little jingle.
This must of been so much effort. Underrated ngl
Thanks dude! It was a lot of effort but also a lot of fun - I’m working on a Scarlet shiny only run right now so I’ll have another video just like this soon 😊
It must have been good to have the gym leaders to help you through this 😂
Huh? 😅
@@ThisIsTheWayfarer cus of all the nicknames
@@bandy-sk5889 OHHH I’m dumb haha, of course 😂
It’s the funnest to shiny hint but also the most frustrating by how easy it is to fail finding the shiny if it doesn’t spawn in-front of you
I love seeing these odds breakdowns and how you got them. I’ve been working on a new play focused on dex completion to get shiny charm, and found 12 shinies so far. Including a full odds mr mime, and my favorite, first in the dex, shiny alpha female heracross with adamant nature. I replaced my starter so fast.
Thank you so much! That’s brilliant, just wait until you get the shiny charm, they pop up all over the place 😅
PLA was definitely the most fun shiny hunting I've ever had. It actually got me into shiny hunting. Seeing the stars and the sound in the overworld were so great in helping. There were maybe 3 or 4 shinies that spawned and I only heard the sound, so it definitely saved me from missing on some. Also Shinx was my 1st shiny in PLA as well! 8 hours in, and in an outbreak in the same area too! I have a friend who said she got a shiny shinx 30 minutes into the game. One time I caught 2 shiny Zubat in the same outbreak.
I love this comment dude, glad you had such a good experience in this game, it’s amazing 🤩 Those stories are fab, 30 mins for a Shinx is awesome and 2 Zubat in one is crazy 😮
@@ThisIsTheWayfarer I decided to finally try out Let's Go Pikachu and bought it today. I just got a shiny pidgey (at full odds) just running around viridian forest trying to catch a bulbasaur. Only an hour and a half in 😂😂😂😂
@@donnylee1992 congrats dude! That game can give you some crazy good luck, I love it 😄
Some Shinies are just so similar to their original colors, I’m starting to think I have possibly missed a lot of Shinies.
They are but the amazing thing with Arceus is the shiny sound and sparkle are both present unlike Scarlet and Violet - that gives you a good chance of finding them even if they do have similar colours 😊
Every time I do another playthrough of a Pokemon game I make sure to have at least 1 shiny on my team. For example, when I played through Shield doing a mono ghost run, I hatched a shiny Honedge. Before PLA came out I ran Lets Go again and got a Shiny Paras. It wasnt exactly what I was looking for but Huzin, my beloved female shiny Paras, put in some work. I grew attached to it, which is why when I got PLA on release I was shocked that my first shiny was another female Paras. Huzin came back to me and I once again used it until I finished the game. I love that little buddy.
Dude thank you so much for commenting this, I love hearing about people’s Pokémon stories and this is an exceptional one 😄 Great idea to do game to game also as a tradition, that’s awesome - Huzin will go down in legend.
I did the same thing, only playing with shiny. I do it on Black 2, so far i have 168 shinys. Trust me, it’s so painful, literally 195 days. I also traded my oun shiny pokemon from my old games. I do all of this in my retroarch emulator on ios. But still, I also have a hard goal, catching female shiny combee to complete my shiny pokedex
This video popped up on my page and I'm glad I clicked, the quality is amazing! Keep up the work cause you deserve the world my dude! Why didn't you pop up in my feed sooner?
This may seem strange but Pokemon Quest was my favourite game to shiny hunt in, I have no explanation apart from sentimental reason as my first ever shiny was a full odds shiny Eevee that will forever be stuck in block form. If I have to choose a main line series game, it'd have to be PLA, I bought it two weeks ago and I've already gotten quite a few shinies and having the sparkle noise really adds a lot!
Wow this comment is so kind dude, thank you very much 😄 Really glad you enjoyed it!
Oh nice choice dude, I had no idea you could find shinies in that game 😮 That’s really interesting! Congrats on the shinies in both that and LA - totally agree, the sparkle and noise are awesome!
That random shiny alpha Electivire is among luckiest things I’ve ever seen
Can't wait to see your channel grow! Amazing stuff
That’s lovely thank you so much! Really glad you enjoyed the video 🥳
Love hunting in PLA. Have enjoyed doing it in SV too (except for water spawns and tiny mons, ugh), but PLA takes the cake for me
i think pokemon legends arceus is the best game to shiny hunt in, because i love how the sparkles look and the noise when they spawn, and also the fact that you can catch almost any alpha as well and its amazing to find an alpha shiny pokemon for your team.
I definitely think PLA is the easiest to shiny hunt in just based off the fact they make a sound when they spawn. Thanks for the opportunity for the shinies! Loved the video
It’s such a good mechanic isn’t it, I love how accessible it is in this game 😄 No probs at all dude, thank you for watching, I’m really glad you enjoyed it 🥳
I always interpreted the story of arceus as us coming from the future, where people arent scared of pokemon, not us coming from a world of no pokemon, because the characters say we are fearless facing pokemon, so i always though of it as us use to seeing people and pokemon living in harmony in the future, and thats why we arent scared, but i like your interpretation too!
This is such a fantastic interpretation so thank you for sharing! I love the thought process behind it, and I also love that you word it as ‘interpretation’ because some people have come barrelling in saying I’m wrong and all sorts 😂
The reason I chose to interpret it in the way I did, is because the game asks you at the very start whether you know what a Pokémon is, and you’re actually allowed to say ‘no’ 😅 So you can pretty much choose what you think imo, you can either say ‘yes’ and work on the interpretation that you’re from a future where Pokémon and people live together and there’s no fear (probably Dawn/Lucas in all honesty) or you can say ‘no’ and pretend like you’ve never met a Pokemon before, and maybe that’s why you’re not so fearful of them 🥳
Love the comment and love the critical thinking, great job!
I think Scarlet & Violet are the best to shiny hunt in since with isolated encounters and boosted odds it's so easy to get shinies of specific pokemon
Hell yes!
A new only shinies in Pokemon Legends Arceus!
I have been blessed- truly no better time to replay Arceus than this month. Which i have been doing!
Thank you
Awesome what a nice coincidence 😄 I really appreciate that, thank you for watching and I hope you enjoyed 🥳
For the electrode one, I was being cocky while fighting it and then it got me to 1 hit left and then I soloed the second half of the fight
Bruh finally someone who posted about Pokémon Legends Arceus!!!! Such an underrated game and one of my favs…. And honestly, I think that Pokémon Legends Arceus has the most fun and unique shiny hunting methods… such a fun game and it will always have a spot in my heart! But I also want to know, what other kind of content will you be releasing in the future? Thanks!
Thanks dude! I’ll probably release all kinds to be honest, I’m planning on doing some more Pokémon challenges but I like playing Jurassic World Evolution, anything Star Wars related etc. - it mostly just depends on what kind of challenges I’m feeling up to. At the moment I’m working on a Pokemon Shield run where I can only use Baby Pokemon, that’s been pretty fun so far 😊
Yeah I like Star Wars/Jurassic park games, AND movies aswell, both a huge part of my life… and wow Pokémon with only using baby Pokémon is a challenge I barely see….. and I’ve never seen one on s&s….. and you’re welcome, I’ll start watching more of your content, I subbed!
I agree that legends is the best game to hunt in but the sos feature in sun and moon is a close second
To be honest I chickened out on the Kamado fight for the longest time (I mean like ) before finally completing it. I’ve gotten some shinies before but I don’t think I would’ve had the patience to do something like this. Well done!
Loved that you had the dedication to do this! Bery nice
Thank you so much, I’m really glad you enjoyed the video 🥳
I forgot how much I liked PLA and your video reminded me why. Thanks for the fun adventure!
That’s awesome dude, thanks for watching, really glad you enjoyed it!
The best game to shiny hunt in is Legends Arceus of Scarlet and Violet. The shiny sound is easier to not miss shiniesin Legends arceus while the rates for shinies are easier with sandwiches!
Love that, I had forgotten about the sandwiches so that is a good shout! 😄
Nice video. Good pacing and story telling that kept the video move along nicely. The shiny hunting was for sure the most fun in this game.
Thanks dude! Glad you enjoyed it 🥳
I love shiny hunting in Legends purely for the sound effect and the sparkles, but I gotta say SV still takes the lead as the best Pokemon to shiny hunt in the series even without the special effects.
The reason is simple: you can quickly and easily force the outbreak you are looking for, and you can greatly increase your odds with sandwiches.
Sure, Outbreak odds in Legends are higher than SV, but you gotta remember you only get a handful of Pokémon per Legends outbreak (24 max, I think?) so unless you find the shiny within those, you will have to go back to the village and reset for the outbreak again... which is 100% luck based, sadly. Meaning you can take hours, even days to find the outbreak you want, and then get 0 shinies out of it.
Meanwhile, once you get the outbreak in SV, you are set until the next day. Just save the game, pop a sandwich and keep repeating until you find the shiny you wanted.
TLDR: Legends is amazing for shiny hunting randomly when you don't have a set target in mind. But SV is far superior for shiny hunting specific Pokemon you want/need.
my favorite pokemon: wurmple
i gasped so loudly when you got the shiny
Purple gummy worm :3
Awesome dude glad you got to see your favourite, cool choice for a favourite too 😄
definitely the most fun and easiest way to shiny hunt in any pokmon game
At first i wasnt really a fan of pla as much as other games but recently ive gotten back into it and have been loving shiny hunting and other things. Winning this would be awesome.
PLA is super fun to shiny hunt in. It's the only game in the entire series where I've felt compelled to try and complete a shiny dex- and I'm about 35% done! Other than spacetime distortion pokemon and the burmy line it's a super fun process of just exploring and catching.
PLA is the best game to shiny hunt in , not only because it's relatively simple but also because of how free the game makes me feel and how well made it is.
I would completely agree dude, it’s damn fun to shiny hunt in 🥳
amazing video yet again dude!! so glad your first pokemon video done as well as it did and i know this one will do great too!!
Thank you so much dude, it’s great to see you’re back watching and enjoying 🥳 Really appreciate those kind words, fingers crossed it will do as well as the first!
How’s the new house coming along? 😄
I'm doing this right now as a nuzlocke. I thought it would be a great way to randomize the team like a traditional nuzlocke. The only stuff I'm allowed to hunt are the Pokemon I need for requests, as I'm only allowed to use shinnies for requests too. My goal is to fill Jubilife Village with as many shiny Pokemon as I can. I'm also only allowed to use non-shiny Pokemon for filling Pokedex requests, but I can't have any non-shinies on my team to progress the story. Ironically, my starter ended up being a full odds Ponyta, when I hadn't progressed far enough to get access to that request yet, and I hadn't even gotten it's Pokedex entry to level 10 yet, so it was true full odds.
Ponyta is brill, I wish I hadn’t missed mine 😅 Good luck for the rest of your challenge!
A year removed, I finally got back into PLA and almost finished the game and started shiny hunting. Got a shiny Ralts after a couple of hours that ran away, but I saved, so I got it on the second try! Going into my senior year, so I should probably be working on my college apps lmao, but heyyyyy. PLA definitely the most satisfying to shiny hunt. Nothing compares to the sparkle and sound
PLA is THE BEST game to shiny hunt. The sound and the sparkles are so nice and so clean. I just fell in love with this game and still shiny hunting today . it’s just TOOOOOOO GOOOOOD
Totally, totally agree dude, great pick! 🥳
hoping that the rumors around legends kyurem hold water bc i haven’t had as much fun playing pokémon in a long time other than PLA
I would also LOVE any kind of Legends game dude, LA was awesome 😎
**COMPETITION OVER, WINNER CHOSEN SEPTEMBER 1ST 2023**

Enjoy 🥳🥳
Hey bro remember me when you get famous alright?
I think the best game to shiny hunt in is SV because I once got 5 shiny Pokemon from 1 sparkling sandwich, so 5 in 30 minutes and 2 times I got them a couple seconds later
Where is the Discord link?
@@johnpaul1885 Hiya dude, I don’t have a Discord link/server atm if that’s what you mean? I just mean that whoever wins will need to have an account so that I can add them and we can sort out how to trade the shinies 😊
Hey, is it over by now cause I would like some
PLA seems the most fun to shiny hunt, mostly because there are sparkles and sound notification when encountered. This way you don't have to be 100% engaged with the game while hunting for hours or even days for the same shiny'mon.
Totally agree dude! I enjoyed this challenge for not having to concentrate so profusely 😄
Shiny Gibble line is heartbreaking, they went from a great gible, to a slightly worse gabbite, to a sun bleached garchomp, so upsetting
10:02 Idk why but this moment made me laugh. The INSTANT turn 💀
Lmao I never noticed that while recording or editing, that’s some QUICK reflexes 😎
why does he say mochi like "Moki"
Hope you had fun writing those two comments, cause they’re literally just getting me more views 😂😂
This was a great watch, super entertaining and well paced man
Thank you so much dude, I’m really glad you enjoyed it 😄
Id say any of the old Sinnoh games or HG/SS are fun to shiny hunt purely due to the fact of the cute charm shiny glitch.
But modern era probably Arceus or Lets Go games are fun too
i normally don’t purposely shinyhunt but PLA has to be my favorite to get shinies in, the sound of the shinies spawning is just amazing :3 i also love shiny hunting in older games (like X) but they’re not my favorite
Awesome choices, PLA is my favourite too 😄
I believe while people thino that pokemon legends arceus is the best to hunt shinies in,mine in pokemon X and Y. The thrill of having a group battle with some pokemon and one shiny sparks more joy. Sure it may be also a bit like a little hard. The hard work having to catch a floette before so that it can use its special move,then having a group of pokemon.
im so jelous of that electivire you got, im being shiny hunting that one for a while now 😅... congrats on the shiny, im enjoying the video so far
I honestly still cannot believe how lucky that one was dude, it blew my mind when I came across it 😂 Thank you so much, I’m really glad you enjoyed the video 🥳 Good luck finding that Shiny Electivire, I’m sure you’ll get it soon!
Pla is probabky the mostfun to shiny hunt in, but i have such a soft spot for SOS chaining in S/M so id have to say them. Awesome video!
Awesome choices, thanks dude 😄
I would say that either this game for the mass outbreaks or ultra sun and ultra moon for the sos method. It's just so fun
Both awesome choices dude! 😄
Best game to hunt in is definitely legends because u can chill while hunting. Great watch keep the vids up champ
Totally agree dude, it’s nice just watching some TV and listening out for that jingle isn’t it 😄 Thanks so much, really glad you enjoyed the video 🥳
5:33 this part actually killed me with the Frank castle audio 😭
Glad you liked it dude! Poor Frank lmao, it’s the most traumatic memory the bloke ever had and it’s been memed into oblivion 😭 Still had to use it tho 😂
that was so cool! the fact that so many just appeared at full odds and not in a mass encounter. You stumbled on a blessing! I’ve also watched your video on completing lets go pikachu and was wondering if you could give me a few extra tips on shiny hunting?
Thanks, and thanks for watching another video too 😄 I was for sure lucky with the full odds finds, but I did spend a tonne of time roaming around looking for shinies!
Sure! Although, I’m not so much of an expert myself 😅 If you want tips for Legends Arceus, I’d say to make good use of the throwable items which stun Pokémon, as they REALLY help with catching shinies, take your time when trying to catch one so that you don’t faint or lose it, and see if you can complete the Pokédex to obtain the shiny charm, as that’ll really help you find more of the full odds ones 😊
this game will have a permanent place in my heart, being the only other pokemon game i completed other than Fire Red. Having beaten Volo and caught and registered every mon and even a box full of shinies. Too bad i played it in my Collage roommate's switch :/
I love ur content already although i didn't completely even watch 1vid. +Wtf is that grammer i used there lol
Loved that video!! Great editing :D
My favorite game to hunt on is definitely PLA, it just has that thrilling feeling. Although a close second is let's go!
Thank you so much 🥹 I would totally agree with that statement, that’s my order of the games too 😄
I also think PLA is the best game to shiny hunt because you can just fly around the map for a while and you’ll most likely find a shiny or you could do a outbreak and one really quickly
Yep totally agree dude, it’s a shame I couldn’t do more of the flying in this challenge tbh but as I only unlocked it really late it wasn’t on the cards - it’s SO useful in the postgame for hunting 😄
I think pokemon scarlet and violet are the best games using the shiny charm and the sandwiches, I manage to find multiple shinies using the outbreaks too. Also great video loved every second!
Awesome dude, I CANT WAIT to start a Scarlet shiny only challenge for the channel, comments like this make me excited! Thanks so much, I’m really glad you enjoyed the video 🥳
0:34 God bless you for that
Amazing stuff, this was so fun to watch! I love how in-depth you get.
Thank you so much 😄 I really appreciate your time spent watching and your comment 🥳 Hope you enjoy some of my other vids or future ones too!
My first shiny that I found I arceus was a beedoof and ot was when I first started the game and I tried to not get into a cutsean and I ENDED UP GOING IN THAT CUTSEAN AND I LOST THE SHINY BEDOFF
Him saying moki had me in tears. It’s pronounced “moche” (I’m Japanese I think I should know how to pronounce it)
pokemon shield one of the first games i ever played and catching a shiny drednaw is to much nostalgia
Awesome pick! Was Drednaw your first ever shiny? I caught a shiny Drednaw in Shield too, through the Dynamax Adventures I think - it’s a great shiny ✨
@@ThisIsTheWayfarer It actually was Pokémon shield was my first Pokémon game I ever got because I used to play Pokémon coliseum at my friend's house and wanted it so bad, but my parents couldn't afford it so when I went to college I saved up and got a Pokémon game :)
That’s awesome dude, I love that story - I bet it felt really satisfying to buy and play it when you’d saved up 😄
USUM is my favorite to hunt in. I used to love shiny hunting in USUM through the ultra wormholes.
Did you ever consider a shiny only run where the only things you are allowed to catch straight up are shinies? Outside of the forced tutorial spawns it is entirely possible and grants a whole new level of rng based challenge into the run. Due to the restrictions of basically 0 mass outbreaks, full odds catches and having to play a bit smarter to achieve maximum dex points for progression, it makes the run feel a lot more about going for that rare hunt, with the added excitement of being PLA.
Nice work on the video! Glad it got good reception for ya!
Thanks a tonne dude, glad you enjoyed 😄
@@ThisIsTheWayfarer definitely did!
I watched this video on my computer which doesn’t have a logged in account so I went to find this video just to like it and to say it was amazing
Thank you so much dude 😄 Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm not really a shiny hunter but about half of the hours I spent on legends Arceus i spent them shiny hunting. You are right, it is so fun to shiny hunt in this game
Me too dude! Before I did these challenge videos I never really bothered hunting for shinies, except for in LA 😄 Glad you had fun with it 🥳
Pla is a fun game to hunt in, but I would say scarlet and violet are the best as I feel you get more encountered combined with good odds make the hunting easier
I’ve never gotten lucky enough to encounter shinies until the other day when I found a shiny zubat randomly
I never really got into shiny hunting till scarlet I feel it’s more relaxing then any other game
Awesome dude, I can’t wait to do a shiny only run of Scarlet, it looks like it’ll be a fun one 😄
You got such cool shinies from this! Your video made me wanna try this challenge in PLA too.
I love shiny hunting in PLA, the sparkles and sound are both so helpful, I wish they were in SV so bad haha.
Awesome thanks dude, good luck with the hunting if you do try it out, it’s a lot of fun 😄
Totally agree with you, I wish they were too 😭 LA was just awesome!
@@ThisIsTheWayfarer Thank you!! :D
I think the best game to shiny hunt in is lets go, the catch combos are so rewarding and you still get a big rush of excitement when you finally get the shiny you were grinding for
Great choice dude! Totally agree, that’s a really fun game to shiny hunt in, plus it makes a relatively easy game have a bit more challenge and fun to it 😄
Shiny hunting in legends is fantastic thanks to the visual and audio cues that the game gives you, but I also really like shiny hunting in scarlet and making shiny sandwiches (assuming, of course, you get a sliver of herba mystica after doing 30+ raids in a row 😭)
Awesome choices dude, I fully support both 🥳
I'm pretty sure the protag is meant the Platinum protag from Present-Day Sinnoh, not a person from our real world, given the protagonist's already existing talent for pokemon catching and battling, their resemblance to Dawn/Lucas, and that Cylene comments that they looked 15, meaning they'd have already been through the events of Platinum.
It’s implied that it is the protagonist from those games, but I personally prefer to believe otherwise. You’re literally asked two minutes into the game whether you know what a Pokémon is or not, so I think it’s open to interpretation 😊
I would love one of your shinies! And I love hunting in scarlet
Awesome dude! I’ll add you to the raffle so who knows, maybe you’ll win all of them 🥳
I just found your channel and i'm absolutely hooked! I was surprised that you only have 3K subs. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much, this is a lovely comment and I really appreciate it 😄 I’m working on a Scarlet shiny only run at the moment so I’ll have more for you soon!
I probably had the most fun shiny hunting in Let's go Pikachu since it gave me fond memories of the original pokemon yellow game, although they changed how to catch pokemon it still my favourite game for gen 1
I love that dude, my Let’s Go Pikachu video was so fun to make so I totally getcha - it’s a really cool game 😄
really nice video. But you were lucky with Starly, it could have disappeared after you went into the battle :D
Thanks dude, glad you enjoyed 😄 Oh god you’re right, I don’t think I knew how much they ran away in battle at the time of recording, but I’ve just been completing the dex entries in LA for an upcoming video, and they LOVE to do a runner! Good spot 😅
