I found this game so much more fun when you just slow down. Instead of running straight from point A to B I just walked in areas let my Pokémon out and let them play in water ext. it just felt better to not fly around everywhere and just be more “grounded”
That's exactly what I did for Breath of the Wild. It was super fun to go back and look at the entire pathway I took via the Sheika Slate. I wish there was a way to do that here in Scarlet/Violet!
I am also one of the 8 froslass fans. She's one of my favorites and typically the one I'll tell people when they ask who my favorite is. I love her so much.
As soon as I started the game, I saw sandygast and knew i needed a shiny one. Its got such a beautiful and eerie shiny. After an hour and a half of just using a ground type sandwich, I got my shiny sandygast and named her "Sand-Ghastle". Shes essential to my team and she was my first shiny in Violet 💛🖤💙
@Cthuwu :} I agree! I love hearing peoples stories about their pokemon. Sand-Ghastle is still always on my team during battles even tho I have tons more shinies now. She's my companion and I love her! 😊
I know it’s corny but I LIVE for these Pokemon stories. Like when people finally find a favorite they’ve had since childhood or when you just see a new one and you’re like yep that’s it! That’s the one! And then they become an essential mon in your party that goes everywhere with you for your playthrough. Just very sweet to me, idk why lol this story is adorable
Everyone's sharing their shiny stories, I'll share mine. In my ~90 hours of playtime, I have found two shinies. A Glimmora and....well, I'll leave the other unspoiled for now. So I found that Glimmora while trying to do that free shiny Flutter Mane glitch, that was pretty cool. It's fittingly named "WHAT" and it sits in Box 6 for eternity. The second? Let me explain the full story... So I was doing Tera Raids, and I was heading to this Ghost-type one near Medali. There's a herd of Sudowoodo. I accidentally run into one on Koraidon-- hold on, did it just sparkle? But it's not s- IT'S A SHINY ZORUA! I caught it in my Master Ball. It's lovingly named "Sudowoodo" and it sits in my breeding box or something. By the way, this video gives me inspiration to shiny hunt because I have also not completed the Pokedex yet. :D
@Rusty Shackleford ,,,, what? they were two different pokemon and one was hunted through the outbreak method and the other was hatched through an egg, so,,, what?
Just a hint for anyone playing Scarlet and Violet. If you are in the tunnels, wiggle your camera around too look in the walls or use the lock on feature to scan the walls. The ground extends quite a bit out, and even the ceiling counts as a spawn-able area. First time in the tunnels, I noticed movement above me, and it was a salandit. I decided to check the walls, and I found a female salandit within the walls. The respawns seem to be slow, because they are spawning out of view on the other side of the walls.
You brought me to shiny hunting again and I wanted to thank you for that. I haven’t hunted since ultra sun and now I have already half a box full of Shinys. Thanks
I'd never been a shiny hunter. I always just traded for the shinies that I like. This game changed that. Just watching this video makes me so happy for you. Thanks for making this.
I had left my switch unattended while playing a different game. After finishing the game, I looked back at my switch to literally see a shiny lechonk just waiting and staring at me to come back. It was honestly probably one of the coolest yet funniest ways to find a shiny by staying still lol.
Legitimately the exact same way I got my shiny oinkologne. If it wasn’t bright pink in a herd of black ones I’d never have noticed lol I found another full odds swablu while I was just playing the game not hunting. The only 2 I’ve found couldn’t have been more obvious, one just walked right up to me and hung out until I noticed it. Who knows how many hard to tell shiny’s I’ve run by without even noticing.
I got a shiny Tinkatink too with full odds on my first playthrough, and the joy in your voice is exactly how I sounded! Super proud for you, even if this kinda thing is normal!
I started my own Shiny Nuzlock in Scarlet last night, I thought I was lucky getting the red spider within the first 1.5 hours. Seeing Mimik get it within a few minutes made me laugh.
18:25 A little tip. You can actually turn off learning level-up moves in the settings in this game. That was something I learned kinda recently when I actually decided to look through all the different settings for the first time. ^^
Thank you for the code for the Masuda method!! And thank you to the person who was nice enough to trade me a foreign shiny perfect IV Ditto! You guys are awesome 😭🙌🏼
After watching this and decided to put some determination on getting shiny before the finishing the game. The first I started with is the froslass with a mass outbreak coincidentally which was also my favorite since gen 4 was my first pokemon and on my way to it I encountered a shiny Bronzong and after 40+ min on outbreak I finally got a shiny froslass. This video was a blessing somehow.😊
16:12 Not being able to mass release Pokemon is annoying but a somewhat faster way to do this is by having the Pokemon in the party, and as you release the Pokemon it automatically goes up so you can release another Pokemon again. 18:24 Another tip, you can turn off move relearn so you don't have to go through all that dialogue. The issue comes in if the Pokemon reaches evolution requirement.
I honestly love these games. The story caught my attention and I didn’t want to let go. The characters felt relatable for me. Bugs aside, these are one of the best ever. Also I got to name my grass cat Morgana after my favorite game of all time Persona 5 Royal!
@Riley Saunders haru is probably my favorite. Her combat skills are incredible and is constantly on my team. And she is really funny when accidentally roast a friend like calling Ryuji chicken.
A few days ago I found my first shiny Pokémon of this game, it was full odd as I was looking around dondozo’s area and it was a slowbro and I love it. (It’s called snow bcs my mom thought slowbro’s name was snowbro)
Hey Noki, just wanted to say thank you, it was because of you that i picked up the game again an hunted 20shinies in 2 days, without you i wouldnt have felt the rush of hunting again
My first random shiny in gen 9 ended up being a Mareep. I was doing challenge where my friend made a team for me and vice versa. Im just going around battling and catching Mareep because i wanted one with a more ideal nature. It caught me off guard seeing a pink sheep just wandering around
my favourite pokemon is luxray, and in all my time playing pokemon, id only ever gotten like 2 shinies and before the first gym i was just having fun exploring the rocky area and randomly found a shiny shinx i was so happy
I found a shiny chansey first, then a smolov, and then a Luxio all within a span of 3 days. I was lucky with the smolov I had no idea it was in the grass and then bam random encounter and it was shiny lol
The best part of finding this video is I also love Froslass and it was my first shiny in D/P and I just got it in Violet not even 5 minutes before finding your video!
You know why Bronzong is special to me? It actually was my first every shiny. I will never forget this, it was a full odd random shiny I just ran in, in Pokemon Platinum. It was awsome :D
My first shiny in this game was while a cetoddle while trying to find a normal frigibax right after the world opened up. I had the exact same reaction as you and it was my first cetoddle catch!
Haha, I got a shiny flamigo on my 4th day playing Pokémon violet. Not the best shiny, but my luck usually sucks so it’s something. And the funniest part was, I had been a bit busy so I only played about 1 or 2 hours a day. Plus, it was full odds!
I still haven't gotten my first gen 9 shiny yet after around 60 hours, but after this, i'm beyond determined to get one great stuff as always, noki and even though shiny charcadet isn't the most overwhelmingly great shiny, i've decided it's my target now and i'll update here once i've got it in my grubby little mitts lmao update: i ran out of space in my boxes for eggs and i found a full odds shiny lokix instead lmao, but i mean hey a shiny is a shiny !
@Jennifer Hill Relatable, my eyesight isn’t the worst… But straining my eyes to try and spot shinies sets off my migraines like crazy 😭 I wish there was some kind of cue. Plus, how do you hunt something like shiny Flabébé 😂 IT’S SO SMALL
First random shiny I find in this game and it was Shinx, Luxray is my favorite pokemon of all time. Froslass is also one of my favorites and the only other random full-odds shiny I've found so far was a female Snorunt. I'm still working towards completing the dex (first time I'll ever do it) so I can pick up shiny hunting for real because this game made me realize how much fun it can be
Noki, I'm watching this late bc I wanted to beat the game before watching any videos on it, but you can turn move learning off in the settings! Then it'll just go in the Pokemon's repetoire of moves and you can adjust them later. It helps prevent all that move learning if you forget to swap out newly hatched Pokemon!
While watching the video and seeing you run into full-odds Rookidee, I walked into a full-odds shiny Oinkologne chilling with a full-odds shiny Flaafy. 😂 Game loves handing shinies out, I swear.
I've probably had the best shiny odds I'll ever have while deliberately hunting in this game, by getting a shiny Smoliv via Masuda method faster than it took me to actually find a ditto to Masuda hunt with. Probably like the 15th egg hatched, with half of them being Grass Cats because I forgot to remove my starter from the party. That will probably never happen again, but I'm so excited it did lolol
I just found my first ever full odds shiny and I just want to thank you for getting me into the completionist mood, because if I hadn’t been in that mood, I would’ve never gone back to area zero for the paradox Pokémon and would have never found that shiny.
Yeah, steel types looking metallic in this gen look so good. I found a shiny scyther and got a friend to help me evolve it into a scizor and I love him. The shade of green in other games is OK, but make it look metallic and it looks amazing
My god if this game was on a stronger console it would be amazing. It is extremely fun and the story (Unlike most pokemon games) is great and makes sense. The fact that you, Arven, Nemona, and Penny take on the wild area together makes sense. Penny is one of if not the best hacker in the reigon, you and nemona are canonically the strongest trainers in Paldea (nemona beat the champion while holding back) and well its literally Avrens parent.
I vividly remember the first shiny I caught in this game. I was training up around Levincia for the gym and out of nowhere there was a shiny Litleo. That was the first full odds shiny I have ever found.
I’ve already finished the game and spent a hundred hours of Violet and I have not encountered any shinies still! For a guy that started playing pokemon with Arceus, the difficulty of finding shinies here was a total let down! 😅 good thing the games story and Pokédex completion project has kept me to continue! The Tera Raid battles was also a boon!
I usually complete a pokedex in like a year after a game releases. I completed mine in a week on Violet. I also got 4 shinies so far, working on fidough next.
The cetoddle is similar to my full odds slowpoke. I was just minding my business doing let’s go against everything and threw my bird at this slowpoke like six times before realizing it might be a shiny
I've only had the game for about a week. My only shiny I have found at full odds no less is a male snorunt... I have been trying to find out methods so I'm glad to find this video! So thank you for what you do!!
I’ve watched this three times and I realize I’m living through you because I haven’t encountered one shiny (although I’m not trying very hard because I have no patience) so def just living through this 😂❤️
I remember my first shiny in this game and it was a shiny Cetoddle that was just running around in the background while I was battling an Axew and I went: "Is that a shiny or is it just the lighting?" But thankfully it was a shiny and I named it Pearl :')
I love your narration, it’s like I’m hearing my own thoughts - about the glitches I too have experienced, about the Minecraft Pokémon… haha I found a shiny pig thing lol in the first hour or so of playing and I was very surprised but then also annoyed that I had to play the game with a normal type because it looked cool as a shiny. As a rule I don’t often tend to try play with any of the easier early encounters as they’re very common but it was a shiny so I kept it. Much later I found a shiny dugtrio and the game says I’ve battled a 3rd shiny but no idea what it was…
I remember just thinking if shinies were actually seeable and if there was an indicator of them as I went through the first area, and just as I wondered that I saw an Azurill that was... oddly green under that tree by the stream. Battled it to double-check and now I have the bouncy green little fellow. Ended up with like five shinies by now, all randomly stumbled into. Without the shiny charm and all that. I ALSO have a shiny cetoddle, and I really, really wasn't sure if it was different or just in the shade of the tree it was under, but I was never happier about checking something.
EDIT: I GOT ONE TODAY! BELIEVE IN YOUR DREAMS BROTHERS! I’ve had TWO froslass outbreaks in the past days and completely failed to find a shiny so I’m happy for your shiny. Ironically the moment I stopped shiny hunting the froslass I would find a random full odds shiny just chilling on the side.
Got recommended this vid, subscribed and binge watched a lot of your videos. Your storytelling is top tier dude! Makes the video extremely satisfying to watch. Good job!
Finally cleared Pokemon Violet's Credits last night! Time to catch up on all the SV Nokimon videos! Congrats on all your amazing finds and Gen 9 Shiny team! I ended up finding 8 shiny Pokemon while playing up until the credits! My first shiny was super memorable, as I was visiting Japan on the Shinkansen and ran into my first shiny of the game! A shiny Wattrel! 🤩
I catch two shiny pokemon by now... The first one was a beautiful yellow Mudbray. The second one it's actually one of my favorite pokemons in this generation a gorgeous pink/red Pawmi. ❤ Pd. I didn't save when I found a shiny Flittle and I lost him 😢
this is such a great video!! before i completed the dex i had 65 hours in the game without a shiny. i got a full odds shiny toxel then i got the charm and now (2 days later) i have 7 shinies 😭 i was only actively seeking 3 of them but its so great. random shinies make me wanna play more, they add a sense of excitement for me:)
I’m so jealous of that shiny sprigatito. I’ve spent hours and hours hatching eggs. The other day while hatching I found three separate shinies with only shiny charm odds, all within an hours or two. But not a single one of my masuda eggs was shiny. The game is taunting me I know it.
I've gotten 2 shinies so far and they were within half an hour of each other. The first was a Rockruff, and I no joke had to cover my mouth to squeal because it was so late at night and I didn't want to wake up my neighbors. The second was a Phanpy I only noticed because it was in a group of Phanpy and one Donphan. Thank god for that and my good eyesight. Both were completely random without attempting to find anything
hey noki, just a tip about releasing pokemon, if you use pokemon home you can release multiple, i know it doesnt work for scarlet and violet yet but maybe it can be useful sometime
Had no idea this game would have such fun shiny hunts. I've spent 80 hours of the game hunting shiny pokemon. I'm still half way through the story and I already caught 2 Rufflets, traded one for a shiny Hawlucha my friend found, 3 Orth worms, 1 Noibat, 1 Misdreavus, 1 Flittle and a sinistea which was the hardest due to how tiny it is. No way in hell I'm pulling what you pulled in Sword and shield here, it was hard as it is. I do wonder, is mine even an authentic one. I don't got items to check yet, I need to check but most likely a phony version. Let's keep hunting! Can't wait to get the shiny charm. Got proof of my catches on my community tab btw for anyone curious. Great videos! Last time I ever really tried to shiny hunt was emulating Fire Red and HGSS last year. This time it's on hardware.
PSA for you and anyone else out there in a similar situation: Just wanna let you know, there IS an option in the option menu if this game to turn off the prompt you get when a Pokemon in your party wants to learn a new move. Normally, I think it's better to leave the prompt on but in your specific scenario, where you have a bunch of baby Pokemon leveling up and learning lots of stuff quickly, that's when it's best to turn those off.. Unfortunately, there's still no mass release option which is BS imo... PLA had that option! Why would you not implement that?! It can't be too hard to do! 😖
Probably because the focus on PLA was catching to build up the entire pokedex, in every other game you only need one of each pokemon to complete that specific pokemons dex entry, hence, no need for mass release.
About 5 minutes into violet i ran into my first wild shiny ever, was a psyduck, and holy shit is that a good feeling to finally get one after playing since gen 4.
I really love this game, I felt like a kid again playing it. I’ve only got four shinies, so far. A ralts, a charcadet, a cufant, and a yungoos X:) Hunting Hattena right now, Mesuda Method,
Shiny hunts usually bore the heck out of me but the narration in this video and the sinistea video is on the next level, you do an amazing job of capturing the anticipation and excitement of shiny hunting
When I was clearing out my boxes the other day I found a shiny froslass that I never knew I had. Apparently the ONLY frosslass I've ever caught just happened to be shiny and I didn't even notice the particles when battling it...
At the point I finished the story I had like 70 hours in. Till then I found two Shinies without searching but I am sure I missed a few more. Till now I have 110 hours in and did not found a single shiny again :')
That’s a crazy first hand experience. I didn’t get any shineis until I got the shiny charm. I hunted and gave up several times and told myself to wait til I got the shiny charm. You got really lucky man
Dondozo will forever haunt me. I was crossing through the lake and saw a shiny one out of the corner of my eye. Needless to say, a Veluza sped at me at super sonic speed, and I ran away as fast as I could but it was too late. That thing just sank to the bottom and despawned.
I can hard relate to the Finizen thing, cause I had a heart attack when I realised they despond really quickly once you're out of sight, so I made the effort to travel around every reset, was tedious but I was luckily rewarded with two beautiful purple dolphins after an hour or so
I had no idea I had even encountered a shiny until I looked at my trainer card. It took a while to find if I had caught it, turns out it was a shiny Slowpoke, yeah a shiny Slowpoke, barely any colour variance at all. Luckily I had a kind friend touch trade it for me and helped evolve it into a shiny Slowking, very cool.
This truly is the best worst Pokemon game of all time
More shiny Pokemon (and my cat sometimes): twitter.com/Nokimons
At least it has a few epic shinys
@TheR3dDin0_YT bald?
I found your favorite shiny after rewatching this video
Fun fact tatsugiri can only spawn in that form in outbreaks this game is truly broke on but amazing
@Jevair Rhoden I picked quaxly too and my quaquaval one shots anything
This is truly the pokemon game of all time
@Eric Parazak _gasp_
I beat both
Couldn’t have said it better myself
@Demonicpop1 you have an opinion
I like the part where Nemona said "It's Pokemon time!" and Pokemon'd all over those guys
I found this game so much more fun when you just slow down. Instead of running straight from point A to B I just walked in areas let my Pokémon out and let them play in water ext. it just felt better to not fly around everywhere and just be more “grounded”
you had to slow down anyway cuz the game did it for you.
That's exactly what I did for Breath of the Wild. It was super fun to go back and look at the entire pathway I took via the Sheika Slate. I wish there was a way to do that here in Scarlet/Violet!
Yeah I explores around for like half an hour before going to school and ended up finding my first ever shiny (lechonk)
Yep I still haven't finished the game because I still just wanna run around climbing stuff and catching pokes
I must be one of the 8 Froslass fans. Shes easily in my top 5 favorites of all time.
same i love her
I am also one of the 8 froslass fans. She's one of my favorites and typically the one I'll tell people when they ask who my favorite is. I love her so much.
Same
Dude, same here. Froslass is a must for me.
As soon as I started the game, I saw sandygast and knew i needed a shiny one. Its got such a beautiful and eerie shiny. After an hour and a half of just using a ground type sandwich, I got my shiny sandygast and named her "Sand-Ghastle". Shes essential to my team and she was my first shiny in Violet 💛🖤💙
palossand has an amazing shiny i dont blame u
My favorite Mon, it's so silly in theory.
@Cthuwu :} I agree! I love hearing peoples stories about their pokemon. Sand-Ghastle is still always on my team during battles even tho I have tons more shinies now. She's my companion and I love her! 😊

@Phantasmagoric spectre Thank you, I really struggled with fnding a name for her 😂
Everyone's sharing their shiny stories, I'll share mine.
In my ~90 hours of playtime, I have found two shinies.
A Glimmora and....well, I'll leave the other unspoiled for now.
So I found that Glimmora while trying to do that free shiny Flutter Mane glitch, that was pretty cool. It's fittingly named "WHAT" and it sits in Box 6 for eternity.
The second? Let me explain the full story...
So I was doing Tera Raids, and I was heading to this Ghost-type one near Medali. There's a herd of Sudowoodo. I accidentally run into one on Koraidon-- hold on, did it just sparkle? But it's not s- IT'S A SHINY ZORUA! I caught it in my Master Ball. It's lovingly named "Sudowoodo" and it sits in my breeding box or something.
By the way, this video gives me inspiration to shiny hunt because I have also not completed the Pokedex yet. :D

Seeing people enjoy Froslass makes me happy. Thank you for making me smile today. (I know I'm a month late but still)
i got a shiny one lol (and im 2 months late)
You and Mimik getting your shiny targets at the same time has to be one of the craziest things.... just ever?
the exact same thing happend a few years ago with other youtubers
@Rusty Shackleford ,,,, what? they were two different pokemon and one was hunted through the outbreak method and the other was hatched through an egg, so,,, what?
Rng in these games is lazy, most seeds are duplicates so... less crazy when you dig into how bad the game is
Hi
Just a hint for anyone playing Scarlet and Violet.
If you are in the tunnels, wiggle your camera around too look in the walls or use the lock on feature to scan the walls.
The ground extends quite a bit out, and even the ceiling counts as a spawn-able area.
First time in the tunnels, I noticed movement above me, and it was a salandit.
I decided to check the walls, and I found a female salandit within the walls.
The respawns seem to be slow, because they are spawning out of view on the other side of the walls.
You brought me to shiny hunting again and I wanted to thank you for that. I haven’t hunted since ultra sun and now I have already half a box full of Shinys. Thanks
Your enthusiasm is contagious! You make something so grueling sound so enjoyable. Ive never shiny hunted before but you make me want to start now
I'd never been a shiny hunter. I always just traded for the shinies that I like. This game changed that. Just watching this video makes me so happy for you. Thanks for making this.
This channel in general is my inspiration to shiny hunt. I'm extremely impressed with everything you've accomplished :)
Hello my fellow TrashBoat lol
I had left my switch unattended while playing a different game. After finishing the game, I looked back at my switch to literally see a shiny lechonk just waiting and staring at me to come back. It was honestly probably one of the coolest yet funniest ways to find a shiny by staying still lol.
Legitimately the exact same way I got my shiny oinkologne. If it wasn’t bright pink in a herd of black ones I’d never have noticed lol I found another full odds swablu while I was just playing the game not hunting. The only 2 I’ve found couldn’t have been more obvious, one just walked right up to me and hung out until I noticed it. Who knows how many hard to tell shiny’s I’ve run by without even noticing.
Lechonk is supreme.
@The Gaming Cats what lmao, they are shiny in the over world in Let’s go
@The Gaming Cats dont they have a shiny aura?
I got a shiny Tinkatink too with full odds on my first playthrough, and the joy in your voice is exactly how I sounded!
Super proud for you, even if this kinda thing is normal!
I started my own Shiny Nuzlock in Scarlet last night, I thought I was lucky getting the red spider within the first 1.5 hours.
Seeing Mimik get it within a few minutes made me laugh.
18:25 A little tip. You can actually turn off learning level-up moves in the settings in this game. That was something I learned kinda recently when I actually decided to look through all the different settings for the first time. ^^
The runescape music just make this that much better! So much of our lives and childhood all in one video! Love your stuff
I honestly have loved Clauncher and Clawitzer for a long time. I never thought seeing a shiny would be that cool. Thank you for this amazing content.
just completed the game , dindt expect it to be so emotional
@SuperZalina95 how?
I definetly cried at least once
Arven moment
Lol that ish got dark😂
@Megatron true , rip professor sada/turo
Thank you for the code for the Masuda method!! And thank you to the person who was nice enough to trade me a foreign shiny perfect IV Ditto! You guys are awesome 😭🙌🏼
After watching this and decided to put some determination on getting shiny before the finishing the game.
The first I started with is the froslass with a mass outbreak coincidentally which was also my favorite since gen 4 was my first pokemon and on my way to it I encountered a shiny Bronzong and after 40+ min on outbreak I finally got a shiny froslass.
This video was a blessing somehow.😊
Subscribed the moment you said your favourite Pokémon was Froslass. We need more of us💙
This game is so good. My first shiny was a full odds chewtle I kept him on my team the whole playthrough
16:12 Not being able to mass release Pokemon is annoying but a somewhat faster way to do this is by having the Pokemon in the party, and as you release the Pokemon it automatically goes up so you can release another Pokemon again.

@Riley Saunders haru is probably my favorite. Her combat skills are incredible and is constantly on my team. And she is really funny when accidentally roast a friend like calling Ryuji chicken.
Oh nice, you play Persona 5 royal? Me too, I loved that game, my favorite Persona is Seth, who's your fav character in the game (mine is Yusuke)
fr the story and characters are so good i can’t get enough of them
Yes this is the first time I've been grabbed by a Pokemon story I love this game lol
Your video gave me the motivation to hunt for Froslass myself, as she's also my favorite. Caught her last night after hours of resetting the outbreak!
The cetoddle encounter was so adorable 🥰
A few days ago I found my first shiny Pokémon of this game, it was full odd as I was looking around dondozo’s area and it was a slowbro and I love it. (It’s called snow bcs my mom thought slowbro’s name was snowbro)
Hey Noki, just wanted to say thank you, it was because of you that i picked up the game again an hunted 20shinies in 2 days, without you i wouldnt have felt the rush of hunting again
I absolutely LOVE this video. Way to go!
My first random shiny in gen 9 ended up being a Mareep. I was doing challenge where my friend made a team for me and vice versa. Im just going around battling and catching Mareep because i wanted one with a more ideal nature. It caught me off guard seeing a pink sheep just wandering around
my favourite pokemon is luxray, and in all my time playing pokemon, id only ever gotten like 2 shinies
and before the first gym i was just having fun exploring the rocky area and randomly found a shiny shinx
i was so happy
I found a shiny starly in the first hour of playing but I fell off the edge before I could catch it
@AstralAdversary id love a shiny goat! Ive always loved Skiddo/Gogoat
My first was the same as ign’s preview: shiny skiddo. Absolutely love the little fella to bits
I found a shiny chansey first, then a smolov, and then a Luxio all within a span of 3 days. I was lucky with the smolov I had no idea it was in the grass and then bam random encounter and it was shiny lol
The best part of finding this video is I also love Froslass and it was my first shiny in D/P and I just got it in Violet not even 5 minutes before finding your video!
You know why Bronzong is special to me?
It actually was my first every shiny. I will never forget this, it was a full odd random shiny I just ran in, in Pokemon Platinum. It was awsome :D
My first shiny in this game was while a cetoddle while trying to find a normal frigibax right after the world opened up. I had the exact same reaction as you and it was my first cetoddle catch!
Rewatching again for the second time. Still just as great! Keep it up noki. ALSO my first shiny in this game and ever actually :| was a rookidee too!
Haha, I got a shiny flamigo on my 4th day playing Pokémon violet. Not the best shiny, but my luck usually sucks so it’s something. And the funniest part was, I had been a bit busy so I only played about 1 or 2 hours a day. Plus, it was full odds!
I still haven't gotten my first gen 9 shiny yet after around 60 hours, but after this, i'm beyond determined to get one
great stuff as always, noki
and even though shiny charcadet isn't the most overwhelmingly great shiny, i've decided it's my target now and i'll update here once i've got it in my grubby little mitts lmao
update: i ran out of space in my boxes for eggs and i found a full odds shiny lokix instead lmao, but i mean hey a shiny is a shiny !
@Darkrai went looking for garganacl. Came back with 2 glimmets and a glimmora lol
Mine was so random with a shiny Abomasnow. Not my most desired but I am happy to have a shiny!
theres a new method
where you walk into a town, it respawns new pokemon when you walk out,
i'd try that for any shiny pokemon you want!
After 100 hours I completed the pokedex and the full story and only 1 shiny which was a skiploom 😅
@Jennifer Hill Relatable, my eyesight isn’t the worst… But straining my eyes to try and spot shinies sets off my migraines like crazy 😭 I wish there was some kind of cue. Plus, how do you hunt something like shiny Flabébé 😂 IT’S SO SMALL
First random shiny I find in this game and it was Shinx, Luxray is my favorite pokemon of all time. Froslass is also one of my favorites and the only other random full-odds shiny I've found so far was a female Snorunt. I'm still working towards completing the dex (first time I'll ever do it) so I can pick up shiny hunting for real because this game made me realize how much fun it can be
hope we can see more of your adventure here this was a great (and surprisingly wholesome) video to watch :D
Noki, I'm watching this late bc I wanted to beat the game before watching any videos on it, but you can turn move learning off in the settings! Then it'll just go in the Pokemon's repetoire of moves and you can adjust them later. It helps prevent all that move learning if you forget to swap out newly hatched Pokemon!
While watching the video and seeing you run into full-odds Rookidee, I walked into a full-odds shiny Oinkologne chilling with a full-odds shiny Flaafy. 😂 Game loves handing shinies out, I swear.
I've probably had the best shiny odds I'll ever have while deliberately hunting in this game, by getting a shiny Smoliv via Masuda method faster than it took me to actually find a ditto to Masuda hunt with. Probably like the 15th egg hatched, with half of them being Grass Cats because I forgot to remove my starter from the party.
That will probably never happen again, but I'm so excited it did lolol
man the wait for this was worth it, you got some insane luck there my guy
forretress was my first shiny way back in gen 6, and it’s become my favorite pokemon since. so happy with how gorgoeous the shiny looks in this game
I was so happy to find a shiny Heracross during my normal playthrough. It helps that it was bright pink, so no chance I could miss it😁
I have a marked shiny shuppet too! Banette is my all time favourite pokemon so its nice to see others appreciate the line
I’m shiny hunting for a froslass right as I’m watching this video, seeing him find one made me jealous lol
I just found my first ever full odds shiny and I just want to thank you for getting me into the completionist mood, because if I hadn’t been in that mood, I would’ve never gone back to area zero for the paradox Pokémon and would have never found that shiny.
Yeah, steel types looking metallic in this gen look so good. I found a shiny scyther and got a friend to help me evolve it into a scizor and I love him. The shade of green in other games is OK, but make it look metallic and it looks amazing
Shiny rockidee was my first shiny as well in Violet! One of my favorites and my first time having a shiny corviknight.
My god if this game was on a stronger console it would be amazing. It is extremely fun and the story (Unlike most pokemon games) is great and makes sense. The fact that you, Arven, Nemona, and Penny take on the wild area together makes sense. Penny is one of if not the best hacker in the reigon, you and nemona are canonically the strongest trainers in Paldea (nemona beat the champion while holding back) and well its literally Avrens parent.
I vividly remember the first shiny I caught in this game. I was training up around Levincia for the gym and out of nowhere there was a shiny Litleo. That was the first full odds shiny I have ever found.
I’ve already finished the game and spent a hundred hours of Violet and I have not encountered any shinies still! For a guy that started playing pokemon with Arceus, the difficulty of finding shinies here was a total let down! 😅 good thing the games story and Pokédex completion project has kept me to continue! The Tera Raid battles was also a boon!
I usually complete a pokedex in like a year after a game releases.
I completed mine in a week on Violet.
I also got 4 shinies so far, working on fidough next.
Always an absolutely wonderful time watching your vids Noki! Amazing finds!!
Love your videos! Maybe you and Noki could collab one day? 😄
Super big fan
big fan
Finishing shiny hunts synchronized is how you know you're ment to be friends with someone
The cetoddle is similar to my full odds slowpoke. I was just minding my business doing let’s go against everything and threw my bird at this slowpoke like six times before realizing it might be a shiny
I love Froslass! It's nice to see other fans. :D
I've only had the game for about a week. My only shiny I have found at full odds no less is a male snorunt... I have been trying to find out methods so I'm glad to find this video! So thank you for what you do!!
I’ve watched this three times and I realize I’m living through you because I haven’t encountered one shiny (although I’m not trying very hard because I have no patience) so def just living through this 😂❤️
I remember my first shiny in this game and it was a shiny Cetoddle that was just running around in the background while I was battling an Axew and I went: "Is that a shiny or is it just the lighting?" But thankfully it was a shiny and I named it Pearl :')
i am one of the 8 Froslass fans in the world, loved her way back when she came out in DPP, and had her on my first Scarlet Elite 4 run
I hope you're able to reclaim that Finizen at some point! It's such a fantastic shiny.
I love your narration, it’s like I’m hearing my own thoughts - about the glitches I too have experienced, about the Minecraft Pokémon… haha
I found a shiny pig thing lol in the first hour or so of playing and I was very surprised but then also annoyed that I had to play the game with a normal type because it looked cool as a shiny. As a rule I don’t often tend to try play with any of the easier early encounters as they’re very common but it was a shiny so I kept it. Much later I found a shiny dugtrio and the game says I’ve battled a 3rd shiny but no idea what it was…
I remember just thinking if shinies were actually seeable and if there was an indicator of them as I went through the first area, and just as I wondered that I saw an Azurill that was... oddly green under that tree by the stream. Battled it to double-check and now I have the bouncy green little fellow.
Ended up with like five shinies by now, all randomly stumbled into. Without the shiny charm and all that.
I ALSO have a shiny cetoddle, and I really, really wasn't sure if it was different or just in the shade of the tree it was under, but I was never happier about checking something.
I’ve been so excited to watch this video, but I couldn’t bc I was waiting to finish the game. I love ur vids there’s so relaxing and funny :3
EDIT: I GOT ONE TODAY! BELIEVE IN YOUR DREAMS BROTHERS!
I’ve had TWO froslass outbreaks in the past days and completely failed to find a shiny so I’m happy for your shiny. Ironically the moment I stopped shiny hunting the froslass I would find a random full odds shiny just chilling on the side.
@Caught in 4K same looking for dreepy... gave up ran into sparkling slaking on accident.. first shiny at 50 hrs
The exact same thing happened to me
Keep going :)
Got my queen yesterday
I love that you color match your pokemon with your pokeballs, I see you are a man of taste
He’s goofing all this without the charm? Hats off to you man
That double shiny was one of the wildest things I’ve ever seen in a Pokémon game
Glad they added back the overworld shinies because I was about to faint
Thank you so much for the ditto code! It really helped!
Amazing video can’t wait for next one!
Got recommended this vid, subscribed and binge watched a lot of your videos. Your storytelling is top tier dude! Makes the video extremely satisfying to watch. Good job!
Finally cleared Pokemon Violet's Credits last night! Time to catch up on all the SV Nokimon videos! Congrats on all your amazing finds and Gen 9 Shiny team! I ended up finding 8 shiny Pokemon while playing up until the credits! My first shiny was super memorable, as I was visiting Japan on the Shinkansen and ran into my first shiny of the game! A shiny Wattrel! 🤩
And I named the Wattrel "Shinkansen" as part of that memorable, once-in-a-lifetime trip. 😊
I catch two shiny pokemon by now... The first one was a beautiful yellow Mudbray. The second one it's actually one of my favorite pokemons in this generation a gorgeous pink/red Pawmi. ❤
Pd. I didn't save when I found a shiny Flittle and I lost him 😢
this is such a great video!! before i completed the dex i had 65 hours in the game without a shiny. i got a full odds shiny toxel then i got the charm and now (2 days later) i have 7 shinies 😭 i was only actively seeking 3 of them but its so great. random shinies make me wanna play more, they add a sense of excitement for me:)
Love this video man! :) 18 min in so far, such good effort put in and I LOVE your shiny forretress and Dondozo I neeeeeeed them
I’m so jealous of that shiny sprigatito. I’ve spent hours and hours hatching eggs. The other day while hatching I found three separate shinies with only shiny charm odds, all within an hours or two. But not a single one of my masuda eggs was shiny. The game is taunting me I know it.
This gives me so much motivation to hunt you have no idea.
This can be taken two ways
This gives me so much motivation to hunt, you have no idea
Or
This gives me so much motivation to hunt you, have no idea
I've gotten 2 shinies so far and they were within half an hour of each other. The first was a Rockruff, and I no joke had to cover my mouth to squeal because it was so late at night and I didn't want to wake up my neighbors. The second was a Phanpy I only noticed because it was in a group of Phanpy and one Donphan. Thank god for that and my good eyesight. Both were completely random without attempting to find anything
hey noki, just a tip about releasing pokemon, if you use pokemon home you can release multiple, i know it doesnt work for scarlet and violet yet but maybe it can be useful sometime
I caught my first full odds shiny before the third gym. Finizen. Such a good shiny. But Palafin is weird, but also awesome.
Shiny hunting in this games is really fun... i'm almost at my 30th shiny in the game without shiny charm too.
Had no idea this game would have such fun shiny hunts. I've spent 80 hours of the game hunting shiny pokemon. I'm still half way through the story and I already caught 2 Rufflets, traded one for a shiny Hawlucha my friend found, 3 Orth worms, 1 Noibat, 1 Misdreavus, 1 Flittle and a sinistea which was the hardest due to how tiny it is. No way in hell I'm pulling what you pulled in Sword and shield here, it was hard as it is. I do wonder, is mine even an authentic one. I don't got items to check yet, I need to check but most likely a phony version. Let's keep hunting!
Can't wait to get the shiny charm. Got proof of my catches on my community tab btw for anyone curious. Great videos!
Last time I ever really tried to shiny hunt was emulating Fire Red and HGSS last year. This time it's on hardware.
PSA for you and anyone else out there in a similar situation:
Just wanna let you know, there IS an option in the option menu if this game to turn off the prompt you get when a Pokemon in your party wants to learn a new move. Normally, I think it's better to leave the prompt on but in your specific scenario, where you have a bunch of baby Pokemon leveling up and learning lots of stuff quickly, that's when it's best to turn those off..
Unfortunately, there's still no mass release option which is BS imo... PLA had that option! Why would you not implement that?! It can't be too hard to do! 😖
Probably because the focus on PLA was catching to build up the entire pokedex, in every other game you only need one of each pokemon to complete that specific pokemons dex entry, hence, no need for mass release.
I also wish there was an option to search while making a sandwich! It's so annoying trying to find what I want.
About 5 minutes into violet i ran into my first wild shiny ever, was a psyduck, and holy shit is that a good feeling to finally get one after playing since gen 4.
I really love this game, I felt like a kid again playing it.
I’ve only got four shinies, so far.
A ralts, a charcadet, a cufant, and a yungoos X:)
Hunting Hattena right now, Mesuda Method,
The Cascarrafa town song has quickly become my favorite pokemon town theme, it has no right being so good lmao
Nice. Froslass was my first accidental shiny in this game. Full-odds too. Great video.
I was watching your video while doing a froslass outbreak and ended up finding one. Thanks for the luck, glad I watched your video randomly ❤
Shiny hunts usually bore the heck out of me but the narration in this video and the sinistea video is on the next level, you do an amazing job of capturing the anticipation and excitement of shiny hunting
When I was clearing out my boxes the other day I found a shiny froslass that I never knew I had. Apparently the ONLY frosslass I've ever caught just happened to be shiny and I didn't even notice the particles when battling it...
While watching your video I found a shiny Froslass and I was blown away!
At the point I finished the story I had like 70 hours in. Till then I found two Shinies without searching but I am sure I missed a few more.
Till now I have 110 hours in and did not found a single shiny again :')
That’s a crazy first hand experience. I didn’t get any shineis until I got the shiny charm. I hunted and gave up several times and told myself to wait til I got the shiny charm. You got really lucky man
Dondozo will forever haunt me.
I was crossing through the lake and saw a shiny one out of the corner of my eye. Needless to say, a Veluza sped at me at super sonic speed, and I ran away as fast as I could but it was too late. That thing just sank to the bottom and despawned.
I can hard relate to the Finizen thing, cause I had a heart attack when I realised they despond really quickly once you're out of sight, so I made the effort to travel around every reset, was tedious but I was luckily rewarded with two beautiful purple dolphins after an hour or so
Anyone else notice that when Noki zoomed into the premiere ball catching the shiny Salazzle, there was ANOTHER one in the background!?
I had no idea I had even encountered a shiny until I looked at my trainer card. It took a while to find if I had caught it, turns out it was a shiny Slowpoke, yeah a shiny Slowpoke, barely any colour variance at all. Luckily I had a kind friend touch trade it for me and helped evolve it into a shiny Slowking, very cool.
