If you're not sure which is the shiny, you can lock onto the pokemon by pressing the left trigger, itll show a little shiny icon! Just wanted to let you know since you weren't sure with the shellos! That way you won't have to get into battle if you dont want to:)
Well, rewatching this again...makes me feel glad John doesn't have all perfect research and is still finding all these shinies. Cause I've only found, like, 8 or so shiny mons, and I really didn't want to sit there and grind out perfect research on every single pokemon in the game. But seeing that glimpse of John's dex when he checked on Gardevoir's spawn time and seeing only "complete" dex entries makes me feel better that I don't have to get to perfect.
@mel Well...not sure I even need to go for perfect given in the span of just a 3 hour play session, I got six shiny pokemon XD so I think I'm fine with just my shiny charm and level 10 complete research XD
For future reference, if you target the Pokémon it’ll say if it’s shiny, and if a shiny despawns because of time the slot is still shiny so the next mon there will be shiny
4:40 This shiny reaction to Yanma was exactly like me when I got my shiny Wurmple and I was looking around for it. 7:43 About the Stantler running; sometimes they attack and then run and sometimes they just run. My first non-request shiny was a Stantler and it ran away from me the first time. I reset my game and then threw a Poké Ball immediately upon seeing it again (I saved immediately when I saw it because I knew it ran).
That is a cool idea The shiny odds are actually the same, but in regular Pokémon you can only see one at a time as even over word Pokémon don’t look shiny until you engage them. whereas in PLA you see tuns of Pokémon and they can all be shiny on the overworld
I think it would be cool if you did this as a challenge with purplecliffe and mandjtv to see who catches the most shinies with a limited amount of pokeballs
fun tip, if the pokeball does those 3 bounces its a 50/50 if it catches. If it does that small bounce, just treat it like a critical catch, if it barely comes up, then you can safely assume you caught it.
Just missed a shiny ralts today, it wasn't even a mass outbreak shiny, but it ran. So I'm still back to my dream shiny, Shinx, but now Ralts is on my list. It's quite hard to choose which one I want more.
I got two shining Pokemon (Buneary, and paloswine) in the same mass outbreak map in the first 4 minutes of the video. At first I almost missed the Buneary thinking I heard it in your video!
This is a good reason to add arceus to my list of games I want eventually. I've always wanted to shiny hunt but I literally cannot dedicate hours or days or at worst years to get a damn recolor..seeing them be more reasonable in newer games makes me happy! They're still a bit hard, but not so hard that it'll take you literal ages for something not worth that much time. I struggle to get motivation just for showering, spending days of my time on a recolor really won't be a priority like ever. I have the lets go games, haven't beaten it, but I've heard it's easier to shiny hunt on too once you get postgame..I'll have to give that a go at some point too :) I can never get shiny charms however due to the fact I can't trade evolve..which is such a stuid thing honestly and I'm happy newer games have realized how hard it is for people to get them, like how sword&shield spawns them fully evolved in the wild or arceus let you evolve them without trade (I think with objects?). They really need to take out trade evos..it just locks part of the game to many many people who have no one to trade with, especially as the trading system is built around RANDOM trades..the odds of getting the mon you want AND it evolving are very low, and sending yours out to evolve won't guarantee you'll get it back like ever. Also, if I do end up getting legends arceus at some point, I'll 100% shiny hunt psyduck! I got a random full odds one in pokemon Y during my journey..but I no longer have the specific version I caught it on, I have no idea where it went and I'm still a bit crushed about that. So I'd like to catch another to sort of make up for it
A shiny I really love that wont shine for me is the Zubat line. I love Crobat's shiny so much and since i caught a shiny Gligar, its the last shiny I REALLY want.
I’m attempting this and am going for 50! Wish me luck Edit: finally finished after a mont. my luck is so crappy sometimes it seems, but I’ve done. With 100 balls, I got 59 shinies, one of which being a random shiny alpha budew, my favorite shiny line in general. I nearly screamed in joy because I had been on a serious dry spell for a bit there.
I just caught my VERY FIRST shiny in any of the Pokémon games I've played! And yeah, it was in PLA where it's easier, and yeah, it was just a Kricketot, but still! It wasn't an outbreak, I was just standing outside a space time distortion waiting for it to form, and there it was! Full odds too! No shiny charm! ETA: More shinies! Machop x2, Lickilicky x2, Golbat x1!
I almost missed a shiny Whiscash yesterday. There was an outbreak and one was shiny. Whiscash are aggro af though, almost as bad as Paras. Ended up just letting them come and got into battle with the shiny, then just chucked ultra balls until I caught it. ETA: Sticky globs are your friends in outbreaks with shinies. Throw a glob at an aggro mon and then throw a ball.
I almost failed my shiny krikitot in PLA. I was doing an MMO and I got a shiny krikitot. I accidentally threw the PokeBall at a non shiny one. I got into battle with the shiny when it was 2 inches away from the water. It broke out of a wing ball, I caught it in an ultra ball, it had 2 CHANCES to run but it didn't!
Omg I got my first shiny Geodude the exact same way as you during my playthrough! My team was about level 30 when I found it grinding to get up to level 35. My golem is a proud member of my team now at level 70.
QQTD: I have gotten over 50 shinies in my 200 hours of legends arceus but the ONLY shiny I have failed was a white striped basculin. those guys notice you from 50 feet away and then run away. i tried saving the game but since I fought a roselia autosave activated and it was gone forever. I did get 2 more shiny white striped basculin that I caught (one of them is now a basculiegion) but I'm always gonna remember that basculin...
I got 2 shiny dusclops from the same group. I heard the first sparkle and got excited and then the 2nd set started.... I was thinking I was in a pre Legends game and had to choose the shiny. But I quickly remembered what game I was playing and managed to catch both. This game is amazing to shiny hunt and congrats on all the shines you found in this game and sorry to those you missed. I am not brave enough to do this challenge
@Lane Cornett that was my first time getting double too. But I was glad it was in a game where I didn't have to choose. I had fears that I would be unluckily lucky and find 2 shines in a horde or sos battle
@Tester Wulf :3 i havent, but i have searched for it a bit. eventually i kind of gave up though and forgot about it. though i also once lost a shiny staravia and starly too. ha-
@the rat from your basement Really late but I hope you refound it! No need to be too sad over it, you can find shinies again fairly easily in this game which makes it a bit more chill to shiny hunt as instead of bumping your shiny hunt another 3 days it can just move it maybe an hour before you find a second :)
Today I found a shiny ralts before I went to school, but it was a runaway pokemon. So you know what happened. It was like 12 hours ago and I still haven't gotten over it. *depressed emo*
I once got 7 shinies in one day, including two parasect in one outbreak, but my luck was gone after that John having such consistent luck is just so insane
Yesterday I tried completing the pokedex(and succeeded) so I got all the spirits so I could catch spiritomb and when I went to the alabaster icelands there was a zoruark mass outbreak so I checked if there was a shiny and there was
I was watching this video while playing legends arceus myself, and got a golbat mass outbreak. Headed overthere and found a shiny golbat! I had to pause the video to focus and catch it. I caught it, and it’s name shall forever be John7. Apparently John’s video gives people shiny luck!
Some of my favorite shinies I’ve caught have been- Magneton from SPTD, Rufflet from outbreak, Sligoo from massive outbreaks, random “?” Unknown. My 3 different shiny zoruas. And as weird as it sound a shiny Mime Jr. That I reclaimed after I lost the first one I found
Aw man you are so lucky :( I can't get random shinies anymore. The latest one I got is a Snorunt but it took me a pretty long time to get that. I do have quite a lot of shinies but man I'm still not very lucky. I'm so jealous. Also F for that alpha Gardevoir 😭 That really sucks but you could've just slept till morning and I'm sure it would've still been there
one pokemon i REALLY want to catch in legends arceus is the alpha yanmega. Yanmega is the best special attacking bug type besides arceus and genecect, with a sp. atk bst of 111, and has speed boost. It is a blue and purple shiny that i think is really good. I have been trying to get it since the first time I encountered the alpha yanmega.
Hard to say what shiny I'd want in this game, I haven't gone too hard on shiny hunting so far, saving that for when I get Perfect on everything and the Shiny Charm, so for now I'm just glad for the few shinies I've gotten in the game. Yesterday I got a Shiny Flareon in a s-t rift and found an Alpha Shiny Luxray in the Sacred Pillar(?), just about an hour ago I caught a Shiny Electabuzz literally after I just had the thought "Imagine if I found a Shiny Electabuzz" while looking at it's dex entry so I could figure out what to do with the normal one in front of me and turned to see another but something was off with the color, a couple steps later and here we are. But if I were to get a shiny of choice, it'd have to be any Dark-type, and while it itself isn't it's evolution is and a Shiny Skorupi would delight me.
Now that I have my first shiny I really wanted (Luxray), I’m gonna set out to find a shiny Hisuian Zorua. (I’m only at the Mirelands so it’s gonna take a while)
I wish I could catch the first shiny I ever found in Legends Arceus, shiny basculin. I saw the sparkles but couldn't throw out one of my pokemon or throw a ball to catch it before it ran away.(thankfully i got another one later on)
So with the shiny Alpha Gardevoir….you could’ve just gone back to camp, slept until morning, go back to the Gardevoir and it would respawn and still be shiny.
Anyone realised that when john found a shiny onix he said this is the first challenging shiny to catch then a few minutes later he found a shiny gardevoir and also said this is the first challenging shiny to catch
Luxery is one of my favorite shinies. sphinx was the first shiny i ever got, so of course i decided to shiny hunt for an alpha Luxery. ^^' Still haven't found one though . . .
The one shiny I wish I could catch in this game is cranidos, but I can’t even get time distortions to spawn. In the 55 hours of In game time I have maybe gotten 5 distortions.
I have caught a shiny Luxio in Legends Arceus. But once, I ran into a space time distortion at the Coronet Highlands and encountered a shiny Luxray but as I threw my Pokeball, the space time distortion ended and didn’t get to catch it.
@Sarah Cook The legendaries can't be shiny in Legends Arceus sadly. When HOME trade compatability you could move a shiny one over but you can't get a shiny legendary pokemon in the game.
My first day playing this game I encountered a shiny kricketot, sadly ran away as i was still trying to get the mechanics down to catch Pokémon, but I did get me a shiny croagunk (frog gang) and shiny alpha Christmas tree
I’m so late but- literally a shiny Stantler and a Misdreavus ran away- I was so sad 😞 one was in Alabaster Icelands and one was in Coronet Highlands. But good job at completing the challenge! 😄
QOTD: despite its horrid odds, I urge to get a Shiny Cherrim The blue and red is awesome on a shiny And probably Budew as well, been hunting her for weeks now
Before watching the video reply to this comment and guess how many shiny Pokemon you think I'll catch!
@Kaytea bruh
ive only got oine shiny in this game but... it was the ponyto
Ok ummm maybe 70 or 60
@Popplio_hi 39
Over 1
Pokemon in the water, Tentacruel especially, are the absolute worst
I lost a shiny mantine due to this.
And I am a big fan of you Mickey
I agree
I once shiny hunted finneon,found one, forgot to save and it ran
agreeed
The amount of luck this man has is mind blowing
All you gotta to is play the game and they’ll pop up more and more the further you perfect then pokedex
If you're not sure which is the shiny, you can lock onto the pokemon by pressing the left trigger, itll show a little shiny icon! Just wanted to let you know since you weren't sure with the shellos! That way you won't have to get into battle if you dont want to:)
I would want a shiny Zubat
That’s actually super helpful 😮
Well, rewatching this again...makes me feel glad John doesn't have all perfect research and is still finding all these shinies. Cause I've only found, like, 8 or so shiny mons, and I really didn't want to sit there and grind out perfect research on every single pokemon in the game. But seeing that glimpse of John's dex when he checked on Gardevoir's spawn time and seeing only "complete" dex entries makes me feel better that I don't have to get to perfect.
The odds in this game are ridiculous, I had nearly 2 boxes full before I got the shiny charm and had caught 2 alpha shinies during that
I’ve only found four 😢
I literally found one shiny in this game out of pure luck lol
just remember, if you want perfect dex entries for everything, you need to use splash 100 times
trust me, i did it
@mel Well...not sure I even need to go for perfect given in the span of just a 3 hour play session, I got six shiny pokemon XD so I think I'm fine with just my shiny charm and level 10 complete research XD
For future reference, if you target the Pokémon it’ll say if it’s shiny, and if a shiny despawns because of time the slot is still shiny so the next mon there will be shiny
4:40
This shiny reaction to Yanma was exactly like me when I got my shiny Wurmple and I was looking around for it.
7:43
About the Stantler running; sometimes they attack and then run and sometimes they just run. My first non-request shiny was a Stantler and it ran away from me the first time. I reset my game and then threw a Poké Ball immediately upon seeing it again (I saved immediately when I saw it because I knew it ran).
I like that shinies are easier to find in this game because it implies that over time they have become rarer because everyone seeks them out
Agreed
Me: spends ten hours in this game and finds no shines
Everyone else: ShInIeS aRe So EaSy To FiNd
Alpha Glalie: watch and learn how to fight s snover!
Turns around for 5 seconds
Alpha Glalie: oh crap, Froslass is gonna kill me...
Never thought of that
That is a cool idea
The shiny odds are actually the same, but in regular Pokémon you can only see one at a time as even over word Pokémon don’t look shiny until you engage them. whereas in PLA you see tuns of Pokémon and they can all be shiny on the overworld
I think it would be cool if you did this as a challenge with purplecliffe and mandjtv to see who catches the most shinies with a limited amount of pokeballs
I absolutely love your content! Keep up the great work!
Caught my first shiny in Legends Arceus tonight! And one that I was wanting too. So happy to add Banner the Shiny Machop to my squad.
Hey John. Did you know that in Legends Arceus, when a Poké Ball bounce just one timt, that's mean he is captured 100%
@Anya Forger oh sorry for that
@Mathias “ShinyGardie” Kitza no problem i thpught the same way till my shiny geodude ran away
@Anya Forger oh i didn’t know. its because it never fail when it did it in my game
not 100 its 98 or smth like that
fun tip, if the pokeball does those 3 bounces its a 50/50 if it catches. If it does that small bounce, just treat it like a critical catch, if it barely comes up, then you can safely assume you caught it.
i don’t even wanna know how long this video took. 10/10 mr pokemen
"MOMMY. AND IM NOT SORRY."
We go chad and un un un
Un un un
hahahahahhahahahaha *buneary*
Don't forget to respect Chad by bowing down to his shrine every morning or I will come for you
This guy can catch more shinys in hours than I can find in a lifetime
Just missed a shiny ralts today, it wasn't even a mass outbreak shiny, but it ran. So I'm still back to my dream shiny, Shinx, but now Ralts is on my list. It's quite hard to choose which one I want more.

For a possible part 2 grab Mikey and Jack and have a competition to see who can find the most shiny pokemon with 30 pokeballs
Do a timer of 20 minutes in boosted shiny odds with Mickey and jack
We all know they stand no chance against John and his insane luck of shinies
I mean, I would!
@PM7 maybe add a timer?
@PM7 probably jack since he wants an excuse to shiny hunt buneary
Can always lock on and catch them easier. As well as seeing if they are truly shiny.
I’m attempting this and am going for 50! Wish me luck
Edit: finally finished after a mont. my luck is so crappy sometimes it seems, but I’ve done. With 100 balls, I got 59 shinies, one of which being a random shiny alpha budew, my favorite shiny line in general. I nearly screamed in joy because I had been on a serious dry spell for a bit there.

Omg, my first shiny in PLA (not including the ponyta) was a krickrtot too! i lov him sm
My first shiny was in Pokemon Go and less than a hour of having it I caught a shiny swablu
I almost missed a shiny Whiscash yesterday. There was an outbreak and one was shiny. Whiscash are aggro af though, almost as bad as Paras. Ended up just letting them come and got into battle with the shiny, then just chucked ultra balls until I caught it.

@Jessica Lee I’ve gotten monferno and grotle but not the base forms and it’s so frustrating 😂
Omg I got my first shiny Geodude the exact same way as you during my playthrough! My team was about level 30 when I found it grinding to get up to level 35. My golem is a proud member of my team now at level 70.

Y'know what's funny, John could've gotten that shiny alpha Gardevoir if he'd have just slept till morning.
Fr
Was thinking exactly this as well!
Or didn't try to go for the backstrike with a Pokeball, but instead went into battle
A little help with chansey shinies: if you take damage near them they run *up* to you instead of *away* from you, as long as the damage stays that is!
There’s no way you encountered, letalone caught, this many shinies this fast.
This feels too lucky to be true.. is there some way to increase odds so much like that ?
I got 2 shiny dusclops from the same group. I heard the first sparkle and got excited and then the 2nd set started.... I was thinking I was in a pre Legends game and had to choose the shiny. But I quickly remembered what game I was playing and managed to catch both. This game is amazing to shiny hunt and congrats on all the shines you found in this game and sorry to those you missed.

@Lane Cornett that was my first time getting double too. But I was glad it was in a game where I didn't have to choose. I had fears that I would be unluckily lucky and find 2 shines in a horde or sos battle
@TheHopperUK yeah I'm so glad they changed that feature where you could only catch one shiny and not both.
I had a double shiny shinx and almost had a panic attack over it. WHAT DO I DO??? ...I worked it out
I got a double shiny stunky and chatot it's always nice to have that happen lol
I love your videos! Keep up the good work! Ps. I subscribed!
"Take that jack, it's too easy"
Proceeds to fail the Shiny Buneary 😂
That’s about 2.17 pokeballs per Pokémon without any items, not too bad at all!
3 POKEBALLS, FOR ONE SHINY POKEMON, THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS.
I'm actually crying because I turned on this video for some good shiny luck and just found one. LMAO thanks for the PM7 guarantee!
Psyduck was the first shiny I got from an outbreak, and I got a shiny Dustox in one earlier then an alpha straight after
I got my first shiny ever in the Pokémon series yesterday, Is was a shiny Tangela, I was ecstatic when I got it
The first shiny I saw was a Eevee, but it ran and I didn’t save! So today I found another and got a shiny Umbreon!
@Tester Wulf :3 i havent, but i have searched for it a bit. eventually i kind of gave up though and forgot about it. though i also once lost a shiny staravia and starly too. ha-
@the rat from your basement Really late but I hope you refound it! No need to be too sad over it, you can find shinies again fairly easily in this game which makes it a bit more chill to shiny hunt as instead of bumping your shiny hunt another 3 days it can just move it maybe an hour before you find a second :)
@the rat from your basement I got a shiny togetic once, couldnt even tell it was shiny
Today I found a shiny ralts before I went to school, but it was a runaway pokemon. So you know what happened. It was like 12 hours ago and I still haven't gotten over it. *depressed emo*
I tried doing this. It was very fun until I forgot to save and lost 14 shinies.
Did you perform this challenge with or without the Shiny Charm?
I once got 7 shinies in one day, including two parasect in one outbreak, but my luck was gone after that
John having such consistent luck is just so insane
👆👆👆👆👆Congratulation you just won a gift 💝💝💝...........
Yesterday I tried completing the pokedex(and succeeded) so I got all the spirits so I could catch spiritomb and when I went to the alabaster icelands there was a zoruark mass outbreak so I checked if there was a shiny and there was
I was watching this video while playing legends arceus myself, and got a golbat mass outbreak. Headed overthere and found a shiny golbat! I had to pause the video to focus and catch it. I caught it, and it’s name shall forever be John7. Apparently John’s video gives people shiny luck!
Love how both John and Mikey failed to catch a shiny Chansey, but John handled it so much better than Mikey did.
I love videos like these keep it up
You should do a part 2 of this! Or another video like this with Mikey and/or Jack
Some of my favorite shinies I’ve caught have been- Magneton from SPTD, Rufflet from outbreak, Sligoo from massive outbreaks, random “?” Unknown. My 3 different shiny zoruas. And as weird as it sound a shiny Mime Jr. That I reclaimed after I lost the first one I found
This video brought me shiny luck 🛐 a skorupi spawned while I was flying over the beach. 💖
I think I laughed harder than I shoud've at 2:06
11:45 Jack is definitely laughing his head off
while i was watching this video i found a shiny alpha glameow. such a pretty shiny. great video too!
Aw man you are so lucky :( I can't get random shinies anymore. The latest one I got is a Snorunt but it took me a pretty long time to get that. I do have quite a lot of shinies but man I'm still not very lucky. I'm so jealous. Also F for that alpha Gardevoir 😭 That really sucks but you could've just slept till morning and I'm sure it would've still been there
to answer the question: i would love to add a shiny alpha gliscor to my team. it looks so cool.
one pokemon i REALLY want to catch in legends arceus is the alpha yanmega. Yanmega is the best special attacking bug type besides arceus and genecect, with a sp. atk bst of 111, and has speed boost. It is a blue and purple shiny that i think is really good. I have been trying to get it since the first time I encountered the alpha yanmega.
I thought they had like 1/1000 chance to appear but watching this video makes me think that they got 1/10
I love when Mikey and John upload on the same day, they're both amazing
ya even purcliffe posted on purpleclips his clips channel
How long did this take to record? Love the vids!! (:
Hard to say what shiny I'd want in this game, I haven't gone too hard on shiny hunting so far, saving that for when I get Perfect on everything and the Shiny Charm, so for now I'm just glad for the few shinies I've gotten in the game. Yesterday I got a Shiny Flareon in a s-t rift and found an Alpha Shiny Luxray in the Sacred Pillar(?), just about an hour ago I caught a Shiny Electabuzz literally after I just had the thought "Imagine if I found a Shiny Electabuzz" while looking at it's dex entry so I could figure out what to do with the normal one in front of me and turned to see another but something was off with the color, a couple steps later and here we are. But if I were to get a shiny of choice, it'd have to be any Dark-type, and while it itself isn't it's evolution is and a Shiny Skorupi would delight me.
@Jo Smith Complete the pokedex and get lvl 10 research on every entry
How do you even get the shiny charm
Now that I have my first shiny I really wanted (Luxray), I’m gonna set out to find a shiny Hisuian Zorua. (I’m only at the Mirelands so it’s gonna take a while)
I wish I could catch the first shiny I ever found in Legends Arceus, shiny basculin. I saw the sparkles but couldn't throw out one of my pokemon or throw a ball to catch it before it ran away.(thankfully i got another one later on)
A really cool shiny to get would be zorua i think the evolved form is amazing
So with the shiny Alpha Gardevoir….you could’ve just gone back to camp, slept until morning, go back to the Gardevoir and it would respawn and still be shiny.
@Spud standard
Doesn't include STD exclusives
@ChezBlos no, the fossils and magmenites line cant outbreak
@Tuxedo_monkey spiritomb and unown and the hisui starters are the only no standard outbreak mons
@Umb and Lycan moonlight not true in the slighest.
I love that the main shiny hunting method was a bug
Also in case you didn’t know if you lock onto a Pokémon with left trigger you can see in the bottom right by it’s name if it’s a shiny
I found my dream shiny after this video lol
This video was really fun! More of these pls!
1:50 already caught more shinnies in this game than I have lol
I started watching this video while hunting for a shiny basculin, and got it right as the video ended… that shiny luck is rubbing off on me!
I saw a random shiny Eevee in the first space time distortion and failed it. I thought the distortions had crazy good odds. Turns out… uhhh… nope.
Anyone realised that when john found a shiny onix he said this is the first challenging shiny to catch then a few minutes later he found a shiny gardevoir and also said this is the first challenging shiny to catch
When I first started watching this when he caught the shiny shinx I was so happy it was my first shiny
15:01 Press ZL, it will focus on the pokemon and show you the name, gender, AND if it's shiny a small sparkle symbol next to that info!
Imagine one of the secret cave shines was not the sparkle you heard😂
This was a brilliant video, John. Appreciate the time you put into it!
Luxery is one of my favorite shinies. sphinx was the first shiny i ever got, so of course i decided to shiny hunt for an alpha Luxery. ^^' Still haven't found one though . . .
yo the way luxray strolled on up to the battle was amazing at 17:52
2:06 this exact situation happened to me. Same outbreak location, same Pokémon, same shiny. I felt your reaction so deep in my soul that it hurts me.
Remember.. the short hop is 100% a guaranteed catch
My first shiny in this game was a Buizel, I caught It the first day I played, he still is on my team
Braviary, easily one of the best shines ever.
Agreed
Yessir
Buneary would be a nice shiny that I would like to get in this game.
The one shiny I wish I could catch in this game is cranidos, but I can’t even get time distortions to spawn. In the 55 hours of In game time I have maybe gotten 5 distortions.
That says you have a 46% chance to catch a shiny with a regular Pokeball!
I have caught a shiny Luxio in Legends Arceus. But once, I ran into a space time distortion at the Coronet Highlands and encountered a shiny Luxray but as I threw my Pokeball, the space time distortion ended and didn’t get to catch it.
I wish I could finally catch a shiny Yummo
Thanks for all the great content recently John!
I've learned real fast that when the ball bounces with only one smoke puff it's a guaranteed catch.
QOTD: Giratina
It looks so vibrant and the colors mix together so well
It's sad that we can't shiny hunt it :(
@Egon 370 also BDSP
you can in swsh and usum
I think I would want to catch a shiny Rowlett if Rowlett spawned in the wild
The saddest thing is that you could’ve slept till daytime and that shiny alpha gardevoir would still be there
I wish i had good luck at finding shinies like you, anyway good video
This game is great for shinyhunting. Im currently grinding for shinycharm. Already 174 of 240 entrys completely.
I’m at like six 🥲 feels impossible but fun
Great! shiny charm is worth it I have it and am at 98 shinies currently
@TheThespianX catching cresselia before the quest
@Ashton Oak don't catch cresselia before the quest because you can do that and it softlocks you.
@Sarah Cook The legendaries can't be shiny in Legends Arceus sadly. When HOME trade compatability you could move a shiny one over but you can't get a shiny legendary pokemon in the game.
Pro tip, if you hold left trigger to aim at the pokemon, it shows the level, gender, alpha and shiny at the bottom right
My first day playing this game I encountered a shiny kricketot, sadly ran away as i was still trying to get the mechanics down to catch Pokémon, but I did get me a shiny croagunk (frog gang) and shiny alpha Christmas tree
I’m so late but- literally a shiny Stantler and a Misdreavus ran away- I was so sad 😞 one was in Alabaster Icelands and one was in Coronet Highlands. But good job at completing the challenge! 😄
i’m so jealous he found a shiny psyduck AND zubat T.T i’ve been hunting them and haven’t found them
Gotta be honest, idk why, but I’ve watched this video about 5 times. 🤣
QOTD: despite its horrid odds, I urge to get a Shiny Cherrim
The blue and red is awesome on a shiny
And probably Budew as well, been hunting her for weeks now
I have 3 shiny budews-
I’ve been hunting the tree shinies as I hunt other Pokémon and it’s abysmal lol
I respect your dedication
@MEME MASTER 64 did you not hear the sound
I caught a shiny Budew in a mass outbreak I didn’t even realize till I showed the professor my catches lol
I wanna see how much cut footage there was because he got shinies too easy even though arceus is incredible shiny luck
Has jack failed to catch a shiny chansey? If not, he needs to so that the trio all have
