I like the idea that Fir ended up like a shiny version of Ash Ketchum, where there's a bunch of different shinies in his box and then there's like 30 tauros randomly.
I caught a full odds shiny Sudowoodo in the autumn area, and also PokéMen7 caught the same shiny in the same area. I am convinced that Sudowoodo's shiny odds are higher in the Autumn area.
I absolutely love shiny hunting in this game, compare to the others in the franchise. It’s a lot easier, but rewards the keen eye for a lot of similar looking ones. My current favorite I have is Dondozo.
PLA is probably best, yeah, mostly because you *work* to get those increased odds. Perfecting the pokedex entry being tied to shiny odds just makes sense from a gameplay perspective.
I do feel bad that there's not a lot of fun activities for Post Game(comp battling and janky raids aren't my thing), but with how much easier they made shiny hunting, I guess that's considered "post game" now. And it's actually pretty addicting and fun. Never in my life did I think I would casually want to hunt a shinies till Arceus and ScVi(and this is considering I played and loved every gen before it)!!!
This game is the luckiest I’ve ever been for shinies. Not only did I find my first mainline shiny ever, I found THREE other full-odds shinies playing through the game. Puddlejump the Rockruff was on my main team. I saw Whelkan the Cetoddle in a shadowy place so I had to look REALLY closely for his orange accents. I passed a Raichu in Area Zero that looked a little TOO orange and thought “Wouldn’t it be funny if it were shiny?” (She was. Her name is Sammy) Lastly, I found a Glimmora also in area zero. I felt SO lucky.
@poppyseed799 When you get to Area Zero(if you haven't already) make sure you got a Damp ability pokemon or at least have the mind to save whenever you see a shiny in SV. Me and seemingly many others got our first full-odd shiny in the game to be Garganacl, and that big guy learns Explosion at level 60.
HOW???? Sword: supposed 1/100 adventures odds. Nothing Sandwiches: absolute pain to gather herbs which I’m already exhausted from gathering and default to ultra moon for the rest of the day, only to have to reset several times to get maybe one shiny I’m not looking for(and this is a good day 😂 and yes, I got the charm) so it’s safe to say I’ll be exclusively sticking to the absolute amazing gen 7 methods until bank is shut down
Yeah it gets easier and easier to find shinies with each game. Unfortunately I, who have been playing for over 10 years, still haven’t found any shinies, except in Y where I caught some via the fishing method. Hoping Violet will give me enough luck so that I don’t even need the shiny charm before getting my first shiny, so many people are finding shinies during their playthroughs it can’t be that hard right 😭 I just need to beat Nemona, Cassiopeia and Arven then I can go to Area Zero and finally be in post game. Kind of hoping to find a shiny before post game but my sister didn’t so I probably won’t either lol.
literally same for me. My first was a random outbreak I walked by for gyrados (named her red lobster) The second was a Gargancl I found in area zero (cinnamon) And lastly a white toedscool running into me (squidward)
For the charcadet afk method, it helps in you use your in game camera to look for the blue eyes. If you set it to fish eye mode, the middle will zoom a little bit more. Made it super easy and I got one in 15 mins.
@ZeroFate I don’t have my switch on me rn to check, but I’m pretty sure you just press right on the d pad one time while in the camera. The zoom is pretty small tho.
It's hard to believe how simple shiny hunting has gotten. Back in my day, we only really had the Masuda method. Now, one can easily just stack multiple effects to not only raise your chances of finding a shiny Pokemon, but finding the shiny Pokemon of your choosing en masse!
I was wondering how he got so many of them I kinda miss the hacked raids from swsh that would give 999 of each ball because ~300k each ball in auctions is pain
I watched the first few streams on twitch, but i missed a few streams so i decided I would just watch the video for the last bit of the 100 hours, and it was worth the wait. good luck to everyone trying to get one of the dupes!
I've hunted fluttermane a few times and doing it during the day doesnt seem to increase the odds. It is easier to see though but you're not missing out much.
So the interesting thing is "100 days" videos usually go off of 100 in game days, so 100 days in Pokemon Scarlet would actually only be 120 hours since the in game days are 72 minutes.
I'm watching this while shiny Hunting Nihilego in USUM. I'm at 5k Encounters and over 30hours in. Watching this Hopefully will give me the luck I need. My last hunt (dialga) tool 25 hours as well...
Shinies in mainline games is something that, prior to SV, had only happened ONCE before. Most of my shinies were relegated to Go. In SV, I've been finding shinies at a rampant rate, getting 3 within my casual playthrough.
When i got to the Shuny Zorua part it reminded me of like a day or two ago, i was looking for a brelloom fkr the dex, came across a zorua disguised as a pineco, said "Oh i don't have Zorua either" and encountered it. It was shiny lmao.
Until watching this video I never knew that Pokemon in let's go mode didn't kill shines! I was always very careful that my Pokemon didn't accidentally kill one
i caught over 15 shiny rockruffs trying to get own tempo to find out there's a place lycanroc with encounter power 2+ 😭😭it took me two resets like you did for dusk lycanroc
nice one this puts in perspective how long the living shiny dex i wanna do is gonna take though with 1000 hours of shiny hunting in swsh ive already felt the pain...
When I was first starting out in Pokémon Violet, I was in the middle of a random trainer battle and in the background, I saw a shiny Smoliv in the background, but the trainer had three Pokemon and I was under leveled for it so I lost and got sent back to the Pokémon Center and lost the shiny Smoliv.😭
My shiny luck in this game involves, creating a sandwich, searching for 25 minutes, finding the shiny, and that's it, I have only encountered 2 random shinies, being a Mareep and a Pawmi, and I really want more
WHAT AHAHA I had this in the background while shiny hunting for a dratini (my fav Pokémon) and around 14:00 when you mentioned Tastugiri and it’s curly form, THE SHINY POPPED UP IN MY LAKE? i caught it! Not a dratini but I’ll take what I can get
Not the Fir video i expected, but as someone who watchs alot of shiny hunting alongside other nintendo content, seeing my smo provider gimme pokemon content makes me happy
The three shines I have are random encounters. The first one was a skidoo after playing for a hour and I almost walked by it. The others were bisharp an lokix where eri is.
got a full-odds shiny mareep on my first day playing the game, after hunting for a shiny shinx for hours. i didn't even know about sandwiches yet! just the wrong electric type..... i was so upset. but i eventually got the shiny charm and finally caught a shiny shinx a couple weeks ago, and the victory felt so so sweet.
I have a weird story about Tatsugiri, I decided to just try my luck with a water sandwich and roam the lake in search of a Dondozo, 6 minutes later I caught a shiny Tatsugiri (curly), 13 minutes in and I got another Tatsugiri (droopy), 15 minutes and I got the last one (Stretchy) 34 minutes passed* and I pretty much gave up on finding a Dondozo, then another shiny Tatsugiri (droopy) spawned and used memento immediately, I didn't care much since I already had one so I just let it happen, there's 26 seconds left on the clock and while I was still on the notification screen a shiny Dondozo emerged from the water, I got the whole squad within 30 minutes on my 1st sandwich, I ran out of luck for the rest of my life *The lag made the sandwich last a little over 35 minutes I think some clarification are needed when you said only red Basculin outbreaks can happen: Blue Basculin outbreaks exist (I had one today actually) but they all spawn in "non-area", these are water Pokemon that ends up with outbreak inside a wall, a beach, or a field area, so the game doesn't even bother spawning them
Blue-stripe Basculin outbreaks can spawn Basculin, but they still only ever spawn red-stripe ones. There are also some outbreaks that aren't in good locations, and you just happened to get both in one, but not all are like that. The same goes for any pokemon which has a different box sprite (Oinkalogne, which only spawns male, is the only example I can think of not mentioned in the video though).
I had so much luck with the masuda method in this game. Tried to get all 3 shiny starters and got Quaxly after 82 eggs, Sprigatito 5 eggs after Quaxly, Fuecoco after 98 eggs and a second shiny Fuecoco after 50 from the rest of the eggs. AND THAT WITHOUT THE SHINY CHARM!
I like the idea that Fir ended up like a shiny version of Ash Ketchum, where there's a bunch of different shinies in his box and then there's like 30 tauros randomly.
@LunarAzure Give credit to ash he at least caught 1 shiny
btw anyone notice the infinite beast ball
Not that I remember tho
@Kelvin Hannaway i didnt comment this...
@LunarAzureo be fair Ash never said he would. Goh did.
Sudowoodo with red "leaves" actually fits so well with the autumn area. Definitely not one of the worse shines.
@Timtanoboa That's also where I got my shiny Sudowoodo.
I caught a full odds shiny Sudowoodo in the autumn area, and also PokéMen7 caught the same shiny in the same area.
I am convinced that Sudowoodo's shiny odds are higher in the Autumn area.
@Jack Dek its my husbands favorite to!
I have a sudowoodo tattoo and that hurt when he flamed my lil boy like that
I absolutely love shiny hunting in this game, compare to the others in the franchise. It’s a lot easier, but rewards the keen eye for a lot of similar looking ones. My current favorite I have is Dondozo.
Haven’t enjoyed a shiny method since ultra moon😅 my luck is trapped there to this day
I just have a shiny staraptor😔
PLA is probably best, yeah, mostly because you *work* to get those increased odds.
Perfecting the pokedex entry being tied to shiny odds just makes sense from a gameplay perspective.
PLA is still the best, can't change my mind 😤😤
@Boqwy” “it’s a lot easier” not it’s the easiest, pretty useless comment
I love hearing “isolated encounter” and remembering Austin john going “that’s what I’m calling it”
Picnics are some of the best things Gamefreak has ever added quality of life wise
I do feel bad that there's not a lot of fun activities for Post Game(comp battling and janky raids aren't my thing), but with how much easier they made shiny hunting, I guess that's considered "post game" now. And it's actually pretty addicting and fun. Never in my life did I think I would casually want to hunt a shinies till Arceus and ScVi(and this is considering I played and loved every gen before it)!!!
@Callum Thornton I mean they could, Legends got the Daybreak update that's kind of a mini DLC. That was free.
@ThePokemonNerd free dlc 😂 are we thinking of the same Nintendo lmao, would be nice
I’m right there with you bud, but hopefully there’s more content like dlc’s and maybe if their feeling nice free dlc
These streams were so chill to join you on, so glad that the video's up to immortalize it!
agreed! i was there for a good 30-40 hours of the hunts and they were so fun
Actually jealous of that Eevee luck lol
Same. Was looking for *one* in SP while using both eggs *and* hunting in the mansion with the radar. Got zero after hours of hunting.
This grind is insane. Deleting 370 hatched eggs is BRUTAL
This game is the luckiest I’ve ever been for shinies. Not only did I find my first mainline shiny ever, I found THREE other full-odds shinies playing through the game. Puddlejump the Rockruff was on my main team.
I saw Whelkan the Cetoddle in a shadowy place so I had to look REALLY closely for his orange accents. I passed a Raichu in Area Zero that looked a little TOO orange and thought “Wouldn’t it be funny if it were shiny?” (She was. Her name is Sammy) Lastly, I found a Glimmora also in area zero. I felt SO lucky.
i recommend picking up Arceus, its even better and for your own peace of mind theres even a noise. (and yes its mainline)
@poppyseed799 When you get to Area Zero(if you haven't already) make sure you got a Damp ability pokemon or at least have the mind to save whenever you see a shiny in SV.

Is the fish eye mode under the camera or the zoom settings?
It's hard to believe how simple shiny hunting has gotten. Back in my day, we only really had the Masuda method. Now, one can easily just stack multiple effects to not only raise your chances of finding a shiny Pokemon, but finding the shiny Pokemon of your choosing en masse!
I think it has to be something between old shiny hunting and this. Old shiny hunting is way to tedious and new way to easy .
Finally an answer to “what is fir going to do with all those beast balls he duped?”
I was wondering how he got so many of them
I kinda miss the hacked raids from swsh that would give 999 of each ball because ~300k each ball in auctions is pain
I used all nearly all 600
I watched the first few streams on twitch, but i missed a few streams so i decided I would just watch the video for the last bit of the 100 hours, and it was worth the wait. good luck to everyone trying to get one of the dupes!
I have never seen someone so sad for shinies😂😂😂 keep up the good work mate
This was incredibly helpful in showing different shiny methods! Thank you!!!!
3:23 Dang, that's crazy! It's a shame that there isn't a similar glitch for Violet.
I've hunted fluttermane a few times and doing it during the day doesnt seem to increase the odds. It is easier to see though but you're not missing out much.
This is making me want to buy scarlet and violet even more...
Keep the good work Fir!
@Fir thanks for letting me know- that will really help me if ill do a 100 in game days challenge too!
So the interesting thing is "100 days" videos usually go off of 100 in game days, so 100 days in Pokemon Scarlet would actually only be 120 hours since the in game days are 72 minutes.
I'm watching this while shiny Hunting Nihilego in USUM. I'm at 5k Encounters and over 30hours in. Watching this Hopefully will give me the luck I need. My last hunt (dialga) tool 25 hours as well...
Congrats on all your shinies Fir!!!
How did he get so many beast balls?
@Frazzles ok
@Pigeonpajama It might be patched now
@MuraMuri what's the gift code?
Dupe glitch
@MuraMuri wat
I saw you were using many beast balls. How did you get so many? 😮
Dupe glitch but it got patched unfortunately.
Duplication glitch
Yeah I was wondering that too
Shinies in mainline games is something that, prior to SV, had only happened ONCE before. Most of my shinies were relegated to Go. In SV, I've been finding shinies at a rampant rate, getting 3 within my casual playthrough.
Hearing all the new pokemon names for the older generations is really messing with me but damn the dedication he has to do this
Cetitan is my favorite shiny that I've caught so far. Personally I think it's the best looking shiny in the new game. It looks SOOO good.
I think shiny hunting in SV is great because if you put in effort and resources you get results
Hey Fir,
I got 2 of the Shiny Pokemon from you yesterday. I‘ll take good care of them, thank you
Bro got more shinies in 100 hours than I have in my life 💀
I guess I can understand how hunting for shiny Veluza can be a pain, but then again, I also somehow caught two full odds ones without the shiny charm
love how he had like a bunch of beast balls
THATS WHAT IM SAYING! How is no one talking about this?!?!
When i got to the Shuny Zorua part it reminded me of like a day or two ago, i was looking for a brelloom fkr the dex, came across a zorua disguised as a pineco, said "Oh i don't have Zorua either" and encountered it.
It was shiny lmao.
I caught my first shiny Pokémon which was eisicue!!! I hope I catch more:)
Great video, was there for some of the stream. Was a fun ride.
Fir catching the shiny Tauros has the same energy as Ash in the safari zone.
This is one of the videos i genuinely love watching. Fir makes the best content, even if he is a smaller youtuber.
Fir I feel your pain. I found 5 shiny zweilouses, a houndstone and a sableye before finding my roaring moon.
This stream was really cool I enjoyed it
Until watching this video I never knew that Pokemon in let's go mode didn't kill shines! I was always very careful that my Pokemon didn't accidentally kill one
Love it! More of this kind of stuff please
Loved the streams and hope we get more of this!
a good thing to know is that lets go mode won't knock out shines
i caught over 15 shiny rockruffs trying to get own tempo to find out there's a place lycanroc with encounter power 2+ 😭😭it took me two resets like you did for dusk lycanroc
I love the repeat ball. I think it looks great
True pain is hunting for shiny Tynamo.
nice one
this puts in perspective how long the living shiny dex i wanna do is gonna take though with 1000 hours of shiny hunting in swsh ive already felt the pain...
I have boxes of shinies in this game, but I have NEVER gotten any double spawns 😭
And I'd say I'm extremely lucky in this game.
Bro this video deserves 10 mil views for the pain he went through
Awesome video to watch!
I started the video while also playing and going to the 7 star raid. I happened to look at the side of my screen to find a random shiny Marill.
When I was first starting out in Pokémon Violet, I was in the middle of a random trainer battle and in the background, I saw a shiny Smoliv in the background, but the trainer had three Pokemon and I was under leveled for it so I lost and got sent back to the Pokémon Center and lost the shiny Smoliv.😭
The only thing this video proves is that KZclipr luck is real
His several shiny red basculin brought back my repressed memories of when I tried to chain fish shiny Dratini and found 20 basculin
Awesome video to watch! ❤️
I actually used Sudowodo as my starter in Scarlet and Violet.
this man is the luckiest man on earth
My shiny luck in this game involves, creating a sandwich, searching for 25 minutes, finding the shiny, and that's it, I have only encountered 2 random shinies, being a Mareep and a Pawmi, and I really want more
While trying to find a 0 Speed IV Pawniard, I found a shiny Kriketune and a shiny Kriketot within 5 minutes of each other, no modifiers.
As soon as this video ended, i found a shiny chansey while i was EXP grinding 👁👄👁
I think the game with all its RNG glory just likes to be content and I won’t complain it’s fun to watch shiny hunts
Hey! Sudowoodo is a cool shiny and a beat under trick room! Rock Head is insane!
WHAT AHAHA I had this in the background while shiny hunting for a dratini (my fav Pokémon) and around 14:00 when you mentioned Tastugiri and it’s curly form, THE SHINY POPPED UP IN MY LAKE? i caught it! Not a dratini but I’ll take what I can get
Watching the end of this was great. Cheers for the even number at the end, my first prediction win.
Not the Fir video i expected, but as someone who watchs alot of shiny hunting alongside other nintendo content, seeing my smo provider gimme pokemon content makes me happy
wow, my first shiny was also a sudowoodo. that's a kewl coincidence.
14:50 made me laugh so hard that i dont even know why im still laughing.
Fir-“Who’s gonna use a shiny Sudowoodo?”
Me who caught it for my Shining Pearl team
i did to its the best rock type
The three shines I have are random encounters. The first one was a skidoo after playing for a hour and I almost walked by it. The others were bisharp an lokix where eri is.
Thoroughly enjoyed that video thank you
Full odds with shiny charm is what we typically call “random” as full odds isn’t with shiny charm
by the way dragupult is pretty good due to its extremely high speed and apecial attack stats
11:51 I knew I wasn't the only one with bad charcadet luck
Wow!!! That's insane! I wanna do it too.
new fir content is always hype c:
Streamer luck is real and no one can convince me otherwise 😂
got a full-odds shiny mareep on my first day playing the game, after hunting for a shiny shinx for hours. i didn't even know about sandwiches yet! just the wrong electric type..... i was so upset. but i eventually got the shiny charm and finally caught a shiny shinx a couple weeks ago, and the victory felt so so sweet.
I have a weird story about Tatsugiri, I decided to just try my luck with a water sandwich and roam the lake in search of a Dondozo, 6 minutes later I caught a shiny Tatsugiri (curly), 13 minutes in and I got another Tatsugiri (droopy), 15 minutes and I got the last one (Stretchy)
34 minutes passed* and I pretty much gave up on finding a Dondozo, then another shiny Tatsugiri (droopy) spawned and used memento immediately, I didn't care much since I already had one so I just let it happen, there's 26 seconds left on the clock and while I was still on the notification screen a shiny Dondozo emerged from the water, I got the whole squad within 30 minutes on my 1st sandwich, I ran out of luck for the rest of my life
*The lag made the sandwich last a little over 35 minutes
I think some clarification are needed when you said only red Basculin outbreaks can happen: Blue Basculin outbreaks exist (I had one today actually) but they all spawn in "non-area", these are water Pokemon that ends up with outbreak inside a wall, a beach, or a field area, so the game doesn't even bother spawning them
Blue-stripe Basculin outbreaks can spawn Basculin, but they still only ever spawn red-stripe ones.

The same goes for any pokemon which has a different box sprite (Oinkalogne, which only spawns male, is the only example I can think of not mentioned in the video though).
The first shiny I got in s/v was also sudowoodo
How did you get so many beast balls?
What I‘d like to know is: How did you cheat in that many Herba Mystica? Or did you farm for up to about 400?
I farmed, though I did have a friend help by using the strat where you restart your game after a raid to do it again and get the same drops.
How did he get so many Beast Balls
Sudowoodo was my first full odds shiny 😂😂😂
Yo you are so lucky you also got a female shiny sprigatito
First shiny tatsugiri I got was white, I got the peach with chocolate drizzle in breeding. I wanna get the last one.
Does anything happen to the spawn rates of Pokémon when you play coop? I thought I heard that there is a change but I can’t remember.
its nice to see lycanroc get some love i think the 7 other lycanroc fans can agree with me
I had so much luck with the masuda method in this game.
Tried to get all 3 shiny starters and got Quaxly after 82 eggs, Sprigatito 5 eggs after Quaxly, Fuecoco after 98 eggs and a second shiny Fuecoco after 50 from the rest of the eggs.
AND THAT WITHOUT THE SHINY CHARM!
Great Video Fir!
You Never Disappoint Us
How does he have so many beast balls?
This was a fun video to watch man! You got a new sub, good luck on your shiny hunts!
~The Entertainer Trainer ✨
I’ve never seen anyone mad over a shiny
I’ve been waiting for this video. For me, shiny hunting feels too easy in this game but I’m glad others are enjoying it so much.
After watching this I caught a shiny Taurus while hunting for shiny deering
how'd you get so many beast balls?
I like how he used Beast Balls for a lot of them
@The Original Goose Man Duplication glitch (which has been patched)
@The Original Goose Man there was a dupe glitch
How did he get more than one?
This video was great, but how did he get so many beast balls?
How do you have so many Beast Balls? Was it the dupe exploit before it was patched?
I would use a shiny Sudowoodo. - 1:17 😂
How do you get that many beast balls?
At this point, fir just go for the shiny living dex.
Figured this was my best shot at finding someone. I need a koridon. Willing to trade a shiny dratini for it.
