How are you getting the camarupt? I’m using your method but no matter how close to the wall I get there are tons of talon flames and often only one pack of numel with a single camarupt?
I like that you treat your viewers like a community of real people. Your videos are always presented in a thought out and organized manner, and it is very easy to remember the information and tips you teach us. Thank you very much :)
Wrong, if he treated the community like actual people he would of told you how bad this game both looks and runs and he would of told you not to spend your money on it. At the least he would tell you to wait until they patched things up (if they ever decide to do so, probably not) he hasn’t said a single word about the poor graphics and absolutely abysmal performance.
This guy is undefeated. Your guides are incredible. You actually speak TO your audience and not at them. Appreciate all your content, never change good sir.
I really enjoy watching Austin John’s videos, and there have been so many Poketubers who I find insufferable or just annoying. Austin is down-to-earth, relatable, calm, deliberate, and explains the mechanics of whatever he’s covering very well. Seriously man, thanks for the awesome videos and always making fantastic videos!
That's so true. I feel like I've only heard Austin John ask for subscribers once every blue moon, and yet he is always reasonable and respectful. Unlike the other streamers who promise shiny luck on subscribing and who have the whole minute long subscribe to me video that is 6 adverts long 😂
As someone who hasn’t really done any shiny hunting due to the sheer effort it takes, I tried Mass Outbreaks in Arceus but just lost interest. Your Isolated Encounter method looks incredibly awesome and actually gets me really excited to complete the dex and work on some shinies for once! Thank you so much Austin
He is spawning like 20 Pokemon per 20 seconds with high shiny rolls... and he's pretty much recording all the time. He spends more time recording in a day than the average player plays in a day.
But there are times when he just randomly gets a shiny with little to no extra shiny methods. And you know that sometimes luck is all like "no shinies, your rec."
This is probably gonna be my favorite Gen in terms of mechanics and shiny hunting by far. The sandwiches had me doubtful at first but seeing the different layers and strats makes it so fun. Amazing video like always!
@@sunbearsunday750If you head to Fury Falls, or where you found the Firescourge Shrine, zooming in on the map will let you see this little pool with a stone pillar in the center. It’s easy to climb up to from that area! I like it personally because it’s easy to see all the Pokémon spawning in at once, and although some drakloak and dreepy will spawn in that area as well, the only Pokémon you have to worry about chasing you are golduck, which are easy to finish off or maneuver around. Good luck on your hunting!
If anyone is interested you can find a shiny houndor in Inlet Grotto (cave where you find your ride Pokémon in the beginning of the game) I did a fire encounter sandwich and found one in the first 5 minutes or so. Thanks Austin for the helpful tips!!
For Violet there is a nice Fairy route: First Cassorya lake for Marill/Azumarill, then the upper part of tagtree thicket for Impidimp/Morgrem with a small chance for mimikyu and then in area zero outside of the lab 4 Iron Valiant. Got 3 different shiny in 30min with one sandwich. Edit: Yes I got the shiny charm.
Alright I'm going to be honest, I was burnt out on Pokémon and watching your videos reignited my love for the series, I am extremely thankful, keep it up Austin :)
@@ActionJacksonForever I mean if you don’t like it thats fine but to just completely turn of some who just said where reignited for their love of pokemon is lame
I am constantly floored by how respectful you are to your community. Your videos are entertaining, informative, and respectful of your viewers time. Thank you for all you do.
Amazing work as always, Thanks so much Austin! First time trying isolated encounter method and caught 4 shiny Pokémon within 30 minutes, I also saw two shiny Pokémon in the middle of catching 2 of the four which sadly ran out of spawn by time I was done with my current encounter.
Hopefully this can help if anyone else has struggled with this too. When I made the sandwhich for shiny flying encounters I used the Sour and Sweet herba Mystica with the according ingredients from the chart. I was confused as to why I wasn’t getting extra scyther encounters besides the normal spawns. It turns out the sweet and sour herba mysticas put together gave me capture power flying instead of encounter rate flying so just be wary of that!
I noticed that today too when trying to make one for Poison to hunt Shroodle, I wasn't sure if it was just for Poison though. Guess I can't use the ones I have now until I get some other Herbas.
@@annenxf have you tried jefe's recipes? they were covered in the last video on sandwiches AJP did and they've only failed me when i accidentally drop all my ingredients lol, but there's one for a multi herb sandwich that uses 2 herba of any type along with a variety of other ingredients depending on type
@@mintysnivyI went to that video and found the any Herba mystica sheet from Jefe, same result Encounter Power turns into Catching Power. Looks like it is just a result of mixing Sweet/Sour. Kind of sucks since those are the only 2 I have right now, hoping I get some raid drops today.
Accidentally discovered this last night when using your method to hunt Great Tusk - found that in 10 minutes and went to try to use the rest of my time to get a shiny Makuhita and got 2! So much more fun than mass outbreaks. Thanks for all of your hard work, your videos have been so helpful.
@@cora8332 I found mine randomly full odds, but I got it near the wandering Pokémon center. If memory serves there’s a lot near there in the rocky place
@@cora8332 I hunted around the east province area 3 watch tower. With the encounter power I got lots of hordes around there. Run around a bit til you find a good spot with lots of spawns.
Litleo is my dream shiny. So far I've randomly come across spoink, tarountula, dratini, and ditto. All without trying and the first two within the first hour of game. APPARENTLY my bio says I've battle six. WHAT.
Mine was a random flamigo that I thought looked a bit off. I also just yesterday got into a random encounter with a smoliv and I saw one with a black olive in the background. My heart was pounding lol.
I was sneaking up on a regular Sneasel, then a shiny one ran up on me like a jumpscare. Since then, shiny Sneasel is the only ever shiny that shows up :/
I was telling a friend about this video last night while we were playing and ended up finding a full-odds shiny Pyroar in the same place! If I hadn't seen you get the Litleo I would have totally missed it hahaha. Thanks Austin!!
I did this (w/shiny charm) and got shiny bagon, shiny dreepy and shiny garchomp within 30 minutes. By far faster, simpler and all around more fun than hunting the mass outbreaks.
thank you for all your hard work austin, you’ve helped me countless times since sword & shield! i would be completely and totally lost without your videos!
15:40, I don't normally sub or like when people ask for it, but sometimes it feels much different and real. Subbed after a lot of time of watching your videos, love you man, keep up with the amazing luck xD
I’ve learned so much from your channel. I still am not at post game, so I haven’t done any shiny hunting. But you really make it and stuff like IVs and EVs so much more approachable.
The isolated encounter Hunt method has been so much easier than any other method. In the matter of 2 hours I caught 5 shinys with ease. Though one was a random shiny I just happened to walk by. Thank you Austin John!
Tried this after watching the video and got my very own shiny Iron Valiant about 25 minutes in! It took 2 tries, he's quite stubborn, but I'm happy to have him. I have been wanting to hunt him for a while and this gave me the perfect way to try it~
I've just gotten back into Pokemon recently after not playing since B2/W2. Your channel has been my go to for anything sandwich and shiny related. You easily earned my subscription! You make your videos very personable and do a fantastic job explaining everything. Great job on what you do man and thanks for what you are doing for the community!
This is a very fun way to research and find shinies you're seeking out without relying on outbreaks! The main thing I see outbreaks still holding up on this is sandwich-less searching. Sometimes, you see an outbreak and acknowledge that you haven't gotten like any Herba Mystica drops lately but still want to hunt. I can see outbreaks being good for those moments. But if you've got the Herba to spend, this definitely should be a go-to.
hey austin! if youre short on video ideas, making one on rare spawns like slakoth, applin, pineco, blissey, and some of the eeveelutions seems like it could make good content! you could always evolve / breed some of these, but sometimes it's more fun to catch them in the open!
@@soogymoogi go to tagtree thicket with encounter dragon 1 and ram into trees, you can see a little applin sitting in the tree before you ram it. i caught like 20 out there trying to get good IV applin
I second this for Slakoth & Applin, or just any Tree Spawns in general. I was lucky to even find a Pineco out of a tree and had to rely on Tera Raid Dens to get Slakoth & Applin. Was able to get one Slakoth from a 2-star Normal Den & two Applin (one for each evo) from 1-star Steel Dens
I love when a new Pokemon era is upon us because it = a slew of helpful Austin content. I was doing a shiny hunt the other day and thought to myself; surely he's done a video on this, and here we are. Thank you!
Hey Austin John, I know you have a lot of people saying this for every video but I just wanna say again that we are all so thankful for the time and effort you put into your videos and the statistics that you do! Like seriously your videos are just so amazing and helpful, even for me who has been playing Pokémon since forever. I just want you to know how grateful we are and that it’s a genuine joy to listen to you talk about pokémon because it’s obvious how much you enjoy the games. Thanks Austin!
This is great, now we just need an Isolated Encounter Shiny map for all the 'mons. Maybe a Google doc that everyone can contribute to or something. Nice work as always!
Does anyone else just start a playlist of his videos in the background just cuz he’s good noise and he does good work and deserves the extra views or is that just me
oh thats 100% me too his voice is so soothing, and often his videos are exactly what i need to finish what im doing (trade codes, shiny hunting, raid grinding!)
I couldn't wait to try this method out once I finally got two salty herbs. And I got the exact ones I wanted! (Klawf and Glimmora btw) I actually got really lucky and got the first one in only a few minutes. The second one I got in the last few minutes! This was super helpful! Thx Austin 😁
i like the term isolated encounters. ppl have been doing this method and its basically a combination of repel trick + overwolrd ability like static, its really nice
I had a ton of success with this method. I've really enjoyed doing it like this instead of the mass outbreaks, and was even able to find a shiny slowpoke this way by just having my pokemon autobattle them until it refused to attack one of them haha. Since I didn't have to worry about the outbreak ending from killing too many. And within the 30m of that psychic sandwich I was able to also find a shiny Bronzor and Flittle. If you can isolate the pokemon's type, this method is amazing.
Yeah they've definitely promoted and made shiny hunting a lot more fun. I've hunted 10 shinies so far while also trying Masuda method for a shiny sprigatito, and well, I haven't had any luck on the egg front 😂 but the hunting is so much fun. Really hope they add overworld sparkles, some of these shinies (Garchomp tier) are just.... yeah.
It doesn't matter if you save the game after making the sandwich, if you close the game you lose all buffs and ingredients, so only save BEFORE you make the sandwhich. Lessons learned
Wow. This content is S+ tier, Austin! Love how you’ve combined your knowledge about multiple aspects of the game to create an innovative method :) keep up the amazing work!!
As someone who is absolutely new to shiny hunting, I was watching this and picked up my Switch and I kid you not.. literally caught a shiny within 5 minutes.. I've tried the outbreak method multiple times and (A) Never get the pokemon I want to spawn (B) never had luck after hours. I try this method and find my first shiny ever, thank you so much. I got a Shiny Gastly!
Another phenomenal guide, thank you! And I can't help but smile each time the Gerudo music kicks in as he starts a shiny fight. Gotta get those good thumbnail shots.
I like the mass outbreaks for pokemon like finizen since it's only a water type and you can't really isolate something like that. But for most things I like this method better
While I didn’t use this strategy for Shiny Hunting, I did use a sandwich to try and find a Frigabax in the area near the Ghost Gym, by using a sandwich boosting Dragon encounter power. That worked out well, since I found one almost immediately, alongside a bunch of others, when I could barely find one before the sandwich.
You don't even need a sandwich. There's a dedicated tera Frigibax spawn to the north of the highest peak in Paldea, nearby the river. And since it's a tera spawn, it will by default be a higher level and have better IVs than most open world spawns.
Just tried this with full odds and got a shiny tinkatuff within an hour! Amazing tutorial and great method! Every one should use the isolated encounter method
I agree, this is my favored method, even with base odds. But it only really works in select cases and in areas where only that one species of that one type appears. I had an outbreak of Vaporeon that I managed to get a shiny out of, and I don't know if I could have found another place to make it work without just running into a bunch of Golducks instead.
You're making me want to fill out my Shinydex with only Pokemon I've caught myself. I was filling it out with shinies I'd traded for mostly, but dang, with all your videos doing it myself feels more achievable.
Shinies overall have gotten so much better and I love the pointers Austin gives. I have found 3 overworld shines without sandwiches in the first 3 days of release and got a couple of hatched shiny eggs with sandwiches.
Man I love your content. So much great information and you always keep it real, making sure to clarify when things are unconfirmed or uncertain until fully tested. Thank you for all the effort you put into these videos!!
Just got my first shiny (a Noibat) in Violet today! I didn't use any tricks either... I was just browsing around West Province (Area Two) when I noticed a Noibat with different colors in the overworld and I knew I had to catch it. It's sitting in my box as a beautiful shiny Noivern right now; I'll probably EV and Hyper Train it as soon as I get the chance.
A Shiny Marril and a Shiny Azumarill in the sandwich time using this method, At the beggining I was doing a wrong route to see all the spawns but eventually I figured it out so basically those 2 shinies in 15 min. GREAT METHOD, also using Papa Jefé's recipes
SIR!! Hats off to you my friend! Your help is astounding! Cannot thank you enough for all you do for the Pokemon Games! Really appreciate all the work you do! Keep them videos coming!!
Did this in the bamboo forest and got a shiny growlithe, then went were you found your litleo and found two shiny female pyroars. Took over 10 mins to find the first one so I was sweating but it was awesome. Gonna do shinx next thank you so much ❤
Austin John Back at it again just making the pokecommunity that much more fun to be a part of!!!! TY for all your hard work keep up the great content and keep coining them phrases
Thanks Austin, I tried this to catch a shiny Heracross and was able to get that, Riolu, Medicham, and Pawmi in 1 sandwich’s worth of time. Looking forward to more hunts with this method.
Can we get a list of mons that are able to get Isolated Encounter hunted and where they are best hunted at now? I only use the outbreaks for material farming, so this is a game changer for shiny hunting to me now
I was literally looking for a shiny wooper via masuda method for hours, i had gotten a johtonian one through masuda before so i was looking for paldean wooper, took roughly 500-600 eggs and no shiny. Then I saw this and man, first 5-7 minutes i got a shiny wooper, this method is incredible, even went home with a bonus shiny donphan. You're truly the best, thank you Austin.
Ha! I did the deal without even knowing it was there. I literally watched 3 or 4 of your vids (how to get og event mew from Red-Blue, shiny hunt isolated encounter, shiny hunt the paradox and i think one more vid) and went like "huh, this guy know his stuff, better subscribe". 2 min later in the video you go with the deal. Well, my friend, you got a new subscriber. Keep it up, this content is gold!
Hands down my favorite youtuber! Not only cause of the games you make videos about, but because everything! The content, the style of your videos, your personality, your honesty, no clickbait whatsoever…its just so comfortable watching your videos and im not a person that normally invests much time watching videos on youtube but i literally try to watch every single video you post (if i have the time to) just because i like them so much! So thanks for all the work you put in your videos and keep ’em great uploads coming dude! Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹
I've done Larvitar in the asado desert was the easiest hunt of all time because they were the only fire type that would spawn, pawniward and bisharp in the bamboo forest by the fighting team star base, all the violet paradox pokemon in area zero, sandygast on the shore right outside the city where iono was, in the grass that directly connects to that shore you can do cyclizar, greavard on essentially the entirety of the snow
Toedscool/cruel socarrat trail in the south part where the big patch of grass on the map its in the mountain part there should be a pond and a trainer there
Did Glimmet in Dalizapa passage just around the pokemon center area with no shiny charm and sparkling power. Just had encounter power rock level 2. He self destructed on me and I forgot to turn autosave off. However literally in the next 15 seconds ran into another one that was glitched in the ramp away from the pokemon center and got him! Took 23 minutes and 2 shiny encounters!
I love it. your on to something bud! and best part of the entire video was this 17:30 "well great....." LULZ! got a shiny wooper and pawmi using this in no time! Thanks for the solid info!
I was doing this myself before you made the video, and I have to agree that this is my new favorite method. Only time I masuda is if I'm being OCD about something like wanting the Pokémon info with the said nature. Other than that I normally just use a mints, bottle caps, and mirror herb if I need a egg move. These games make it easy to create competitive mons with wild shinies and I love it.

Yes that's what I was thinking!! He should make a rare spawns video and wild Tera Pokémon video. It'd be so helpful for finding those Pokémon
@@nechrochronicon bless, thanks!
Thank you for the sheer amount of quality content you pump out every release cycle! It's so helpful
Just want to say thank you for what you do for this community. It’s awesome all of the cool things you how us. Appreciate it!
I love when a new Pokemon era is upon us because it = a slew of helpful Austin content. I was doing a shiny hunt the other day and thought to myself; surely he's done a video on this, and here we are. Thank you!
1:44 Omg "Socarrat Trail" I love all these little references to Spain lmao 😂😂
What's the reference?
Great tutorial, simply explained and as always, very helpful.
At this rate, Austin John ought to be a professor at the Naranja/Uva academy
Can you post more videos of you doing Isolated shiny hunting I find it entertaining and helpful
Dev 1: "I'm too hungry to think...."
Dev 2: "We forgot to put in a daycare and the boss wants a new shiny method!"
Dev 1: "Go make a sandwich."
Hey Austin John, I know you have a lot of people saying this for every video but I just wanna say again that we are all so thankful for the time and effort you put into your videos and the statistics that you do! Like seriously your videos are just so amazing and helpful, even for me who has been playing Pokémon since forever. I just want you to know how grateful we are and that it’s a genuine joy to listen to you talk about pokémon because it’s obvious how much you enjoy the games. Thanks Austin!
This is great, now we just need an Isolated Encounter Shiny map for all the 'mons. Maybe a Google doc that everyone can contribute to or something. Nice work as always!
Does anyone else just start a playlist of his videos in the background just cuz he’s good noise and he does good work and deserves the extra views or is that just me
oh thats 100% me too
his voice is so soothing, and often his videos are exactly what i need to finish what im doing (trade codes, shiny hunting, raid grinding!)
im embarrassed
@@ZekoEon "I always want more parmasan........but I'm embarrased!!!"
I couldn't wait to try this method out once I finally got two salty herbs. And I got the exact ones I wanted! (Klawf and Glimmora btw) I actually got really lucky and got the first one in only a few minutes. The second one I got in the last few minutes!
This was super helpful! Thx Austin 😁
i like the term isolated encounters. ppl have been doing this method and its basically a combination of repel trick + overwolrd ability like static, its really nice
2.1 million lets goo, so much deserved for all you do to the community!
But yeah this game really do be giving out mad shinies huh
I had a ton of success with this method. I've really enjoyed doing it like this instead of the mass outbreaks, and was even able to find a shiny slowpoke this way by just having my pokemon autobattle them until it refused to attack one of them haha. Since I didn't have to worry about the outbreak ending from killing too many. And within the 30m of that psychic sandwich I was able to also find a shiny Bronzor and Flittle. If you can isolate the pokemon's type, this method is amazing.
Okay now this is something I can actually see myself doing. I have low patience for shiny hunting but this looks fun!
Yeah they've definitely promoted and made shiny hunting a lot more fun. I've hunted 10 shinies so far while also trying Masuda method for a shiny sprigatito, and well, I haven't had any luck on the egg front 😂 but the hunting is so much fun. Really hope they add overworld sparkles, some of these shinies (Garchomp tier) are just.... yeah.
"I know that you've done a mass out break for over an hour"
I don't appreciate being called out like this Austin 😂
It doesn't matter if you save the game after making the sandwich, if you close the game you lose all buffs and ingredients, so only save BEFORE you make the sandwhich.
Lessons learned
Wow. This content is S+ tier, Austin! Love how you’ve combined your knowledge about multiple aspects of the game to create an innovative method :) keep up the amazing work!!
Love your content Austin! My favorite Poketuber! Appreciate all the hard work
Thanks for explaining this in such an easy to follow way! Congrats on 2.1 million too! 👏
As someone who is absolutely new to shiny hunting, I was watching this and picked up my Switch and I kid you not.. literally caught a shiny within 5 minutes..
I've tried the outbreak method multiple times and (A) Never get the pokemon I want to spawn (B) never had luck after hours. I try this method and find my first shiny ever, thank you so much.
I got a Shiny Gastly!
Another phenomenal guide, thank you! And I can't help but smile each time the Gerudo music kicks in as he starts a shiny fight. Gotta get those good thumbnail shots.
Already know this is gonna be a W video keep up the good work you’ve got amazing videos up in such a short amount of time and it’s awesome
I like the mass outbreaks for pokemon like finizen since it's only a water type and you can't really isolate something like that. But for most things I like this method better
While I didn’t use this strategy for Shiny Hunting, I did use a sandwich to try and find a Frigabax in the area near the Ghost Gym, by using a sandwich boosting Dragon encounter power. That worked out well, since I found one almost immediately, alongside a bunch of others, when I could barely find one before the sandwich.
You can just cycle around
You don't even need a sandwich. There's a dedicated tera Frigibax spawn to the north of the highest peak in Paldea, nearby the river. And since it's a tera spawn, it will by default be a higher level and have better IVs than most open world spawns.
Just tried this with full odds and got a shiny tinkatuff within an hour! Amazing tutorial and great method!
Every one should use the isolated encounter method
Tried this and got a shiny Frigibax in only an hour without herba mystica or shiny charm. Totally works. Thanks for Isolated Encounters method!
Your content has always been the best! Great work
I agree, this is my favored method, even with base odds. But it only really works in select cases and in areas where only that one species of that one type appears. I had an outbreak of Vaporeon that I managed to get a shiny out of, and I don't know if I could have found another place to make it work without just running into a bunch of Golducks instead.
I spend almost 10 hours on a mass outbreak last weekend and a shiny never spawned. I'm definitely going to switch to this method.
ive seen so many videos austin! all the way back to the BDSP days and with PLA and now here! its been a joy to see the channel grow!
You're making me want to fill out my Shinydex with only Pokemon I've caught myself. I was filling it out with shinies I'd traded for mostly, but dang, with all your videos doing it myself feels more achievable.
Doing a living shinydex as well, only because this game looks like I can do it in under 1000 hours.
The amount of high quality videos this guy pops out is very impressive 👍
Dudes legit af!!!
Shinies overall have gotten so much better and I love the pointers Austin gives. I have found 3 overworld shines without sandwiches in the first 3 days of release and got a couple of hatched shiny eggs with sandwiches.
If I’m not mistaken, sandwiches do not effect masuda method hatches??
@@PapaJohnsPie egg power raises the amount of eggs you get per minute. That "raises" shiny odds by giving you more encounters faster
@@billcipher8645 I thought they were talking about sparkling power but yes your right
And then there is me with zero shinies still xD
@@i_hate_youtube_handles_it_sux L
Man I love your content. So much great information and you always keep it real, making sure to clarify when things are unconfirmed or uncertain until fully tested. Thank you for all the effort you put into these videos!!
This video just blew my mind. I always wondered about this, but here's the proof! Thank you!
"How are you going to look at this and say it isn't an amazing method?" Maybe because I've been doing it for 3 hours with no luck.
Just got my first shiny (a Noibat) in Violet today! I didn't use any tricks either... I was just browsing around West Province (Area Two) when I noticed a Noibat with different colors in the overworld and I knew I had to catch it. It's sitting in my box as a beautiful shiny Noivern right now; I'll probably EV and Hyper Train it as soon as I get the chance.
A Shiny Marril and a Shiny Azumarill in the sandwich time using this method, At the beggining I was doing a wrong route to see all the spawns but eventually I figured it out so basically those 2 shinies in 15 min. GREAT METHOD, also using Papa Jefé's recipes
where on the map did you hunts these?
@@daskaterkyle2 On the lake, the island near the waterfall flying spot there's a taxi driver oh the island too
SIR!! Hats off to you my friend! Your help is astounding! Cannot thank you enough for all you do for the Pokemon Games! Really appreciate all the work you do! Keep them videos coming!!
Loving the OG FF7 battle music in the background. Very nice touch Austin.
Got a shiny Wooper within 3 minutes using the spot you showed, thank you so much for being helpful as always! :)
Did this in the bamboo forest and got a shiny growlithe, then went were you found your litleo and found two shiny female pyroars. Took over 10 mins to find the first one so I was sweating but it was awesome. Gonna do shinx next thank you so much ❤
I finally caught my first shiny today and didn't realize it until hours later because it's a new Pokemon. 😅
My shiny luck is GONE this game, 17hrs hunting the dung beetle 😢
Austin John Back at it again just making the pokecommunity that much more fun to be a part of!!!! TY for all your hard work keep up the great content and keep coining them phrases
Thanks Austin, I tried this to catch a shiny Heracross and was able to get that, Riolu, Medicham, and Pawmi in 1 sandwich’s worth of time. Looking forward to more hunts with this method.
I'm looking forward for your spreadsheet once it finished! That looks very cool and useful
Can we get a list of mons that are able to get Isolated Encounter hunted and where they are best hunted at now? I only use the outbreaks for material farming, so this is a game changer for shiny hunting to me now
serebi would be the main place for that. a full list would prob take at least 40 hours to put together
@@AustinJohnPlays Will do. Thanks for all the uploads, youre a legend
Do you have a list of pokemon that this method can be done with? If so that would be greatly appreciated
Echo this!
I was literally looking for a shiny wooper via masuda method for hours, i had gotten a johtonian one through masuda before so i was looking for paldean wooper,
took roughly 500-600 eggs and no shiny.
Then I saw this and man, first 5-7 minutes i got a shiny wooper, this method is incredible, even went home with a bonus shiny donphan. You're truly the best, thank you Austin.
Ha! I did the deal without even knowing it was there. I literally watched 3 or 4 of your vids (how to get og event mew from Red-Blue, shiny hunt isolated encounter, shiny hunt the paradox and i think one more vid) and went like "huh, this guy know his stuff, better subscribe".
2 min later in the video you go with the deal. Well, my friend, you got a new subscriber. Keep it up, this content is gold!
Hi Austin, you're vids are always so helpful
Austin. I love your content. Thank you for all your work.
thank you so much austin!! thanks to this method i finally got my fav mon shiny :')
This is the best shiny method! With a single ground sandwich I got Pwooper, toadscool and sandygast
Hands down my favorite youtuber! Not only cause of the games you make videos about, but because everything! The content, the style of your videos, your personality, your honesty, no clickbait whatsoever…its just so comfortable watching your videos and im not a person that normally invests much time watching videos on youtube but i literally try to watch every single video you post (if i have the time to) just because i like them so much! So thanks for all the work you put in your videos and keep ’em great uploads coming dude! Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹
You're amazing, thanks for the work you put in man!
Do you need to open a picnic every time to change the pokemon spawns or can you just ride around and they'll change?
EVERYONE! PLEASE UPVOTE AND LIST A LOCATION THIS METHOD WORKED FOR YOU AND WHAT POKEMON YOU GOT! SHARE YOUR SHINY LOVE FOR YOUR NEIGHBOR!
I've done Larvitar in the asado desert was the easiest hunt of all time because they were the only fire type that would spawn, pawniward and bisharp in the bamboo forest by the fighting team star base, all the violet paradox pokemon in area zero, sandygast on the shore right outside the city where iono was, in the grass that directly connects to that shore you can do cyclizar, greavard on essentially the entirety of the snow
I saw a comment said Houndour house is could be hunted in Inlet grotto
Frigibax near ghost gym and toedscool at top left of map above the big lake where false dragon titan is (Cassaroya I think)
Toedscool/cruel socarrat trail in the south part where the big patch of grass on the map its in the mountain part there should be a pond and a trainer there
Did Glimmet in Dalizapa passage just around the pokemon center area with no shiny charm and sparkling power. Just had encounter power rock level 2. He self destructed on me and I forgot to turn autosave off. However literally in the next 15 seconds ran into another one that was glitched in the ramp away from the pokemon center and got him! Took 23 minutes and 2 shiny encounters!
I love it. your on to something bud! and best part of the entire video was this 17:30 "well great....." LULZ! got a shiny wooper and pawmi using this in no time! Thanks for the solid info!
I was doing this myself before you made the video, and I have to agree that this is my new favorite method. Only time I masuda is if I'm being OCD about something like wanting the Pokémon info with the said nature. Other than that I normally just use a mints, bottle caps, and mirror herb if I need a egg move. These games make it easy to create competitive mons with wild shinies and I love it.
