The 13% that believed Jacob wouldn't find a shiny Gyarados are completely valid because, let's be real, Jacob would skip out on that guaranteed encounter for content.
You can't skip it :P
@@drinkingthemoon he’d find a way
@@drinkingthemoon u can just not catch it
@@drinkingthemoon Just KO it or run away and it despawns
You can't skip it, but you don't need to catch it to progress.
Jaiden: I have no idea how anyone streams
Also Jaiden: In the middle of a subathon
This was streamed before the subathon
She got interrupted, but she meant other peoples setups of their own streams
Glad I didn't have to scroll very much for this, cause that's exactly what I came down here for
If there would be a 1/8000 chance the Red Gyarados could not be Shiny, people would hunt him like a Shiny.
You know I was honestly wondering the same thing, 🤔. I kind of had this question about shiny Pokemon in general.
People _are_ legit only interested in these Shiny Pokémon because they're extremely rare, yes.
THE ANTI-SHINY HUNT BEGINS!
@@gengarzilla1685 yeah plus most shinies look worse than the original
@@vishwathayumanavan8777I'd say it's a decent split between great and terrible designs. I love some shiny forms a lot!
The "NOT AGAIN!" is just comedy gold lol
A callback that NOBODY complained about.
tbh i just read this comment then resumed the video and he immediately said NOT AGAIN
he is brave getting caught in 4k and leaving it in lol.
@@perryorbit5304 Only Alpha could
It's crazy that Alpha once hated shiny hunting and now years later he became a shiny hunter (for content of course)
It wouldn’t be the same if he didn’t do it for content
Just like Chris Pratt who hates Italians but is voicing Mario.
Anything for content

Yeah I won't even lie, that was really cool of him to just be like, "Listen, I don't care. Make the song again yourself and they'll shut up."
Honestly, it’s truly gigachad behavior. Between being able to make music out of pretty much anything and keeping the music DMCA free for use in videos, I guess I really shouldn’t be surprised that Toby Fox would do something like this.
Jaiden getting a shiny is lady lucks way of apologizing for all the coin flips that Jaiden lost in the charity stream

Honestly this is friend goals. Like he didn't get defensive or make an excuse. He was a matter of fact "She's my friend." Good person.
Given how long it took Alpharad to beat Pokemon with only shiny Pokemon with *modified* RNG to help him, I'm surprised he still had some sanity and wastable time left in him. Just shows you how strong-willed people are.

@@GearPixelatan Otamatone cover of Dark Fantasy by Kanye West
Regarding the Rivals Golbat, to simplify a bit (a lot) normally whenever you meet a Pokémon, a random number is generated from 1-8196 (again, simplifying a lot). If that number is 1 the Pokémon will be shiny. Trainers are guaranteed to never roll a 1, but when he increased the shiny odds, he basically made it so 2 would generate a shiny as well, but didn't change the rolls possible for trainers. So in a sense that Golbat was a true 1/8196 Shiny
Well, 1/8195 since a 1 can't be rolled
I guess it wouldn't have remained shiny in subsequent battles, though..? Weird how Alpharad didn't check in Mt. Moon.
@@mokarokas-1727 it wouldn't have since that golbat is technically different. from a gameplay perspective, none of the re-occurring pokemon are the same in anyway aside from maybe their species and trainer
@@Wal363 yeah thats right. Hell even the trainer ID is probably not the same cuz i think if you use a cheat to cathc trainer pokemon it functions like cathing a wild pokemon (I.E you can nickname it and i does not gain boosted EXP) so it just has your trainer ID
@@finnvaneekelen4966 Opposing trainers don't have trainer IDs at all.

19:00 shiny odds effect everything including trainers pokemon. You can even have the beginning pokemon you encounter and defeat for your starter in ruby and sapphire be shiny.
Trainer Pokemon cannot be shiny outside of the battle facilities in a few games and some tutorial cutscene Pokemon. What actually happened was this shiny odds mod changed what Pokemon IDs would be counted as shiny, so the otherwise guaranteed-not-shiny by the devs trainer pokemon now have a chance of winning the new odds lottery. Jacob reset multiple times and confirmed that Golbat was shiny every time
Nah trainer pokemons are always the same (no shiny, natuer, IV. )Only thing i can think of is a shiny jolteon? And Fr andLG battle tower
@@herdybb Also, Heart Gold and Soul Silver's Battle Frontier, can have shinies.

The only NPC that I know of that can have a shiny is that one dude in gen 7 with a shiny Exeggcute.

Not just any shiny, she got a shiny BABBU
I could challenge that title! I've played every game out there and with the exception of scripted events and spin-off games, I've still never encountered a shiny pokemon!
@@WaZZaKZZ She has photographic evidence of losing 37 coin flips in a row. The odds of that are 1 in 372,968.
@@WaZZaKZZ The average Pokémon player encounters roughly 137 Pokémon in a play through, and half of the games being 8192, and the other half being 4196, it’s not that unlucky.
@@WaZZaKZZ it's as if she temporarily borrowed jacob's luck because it wasn't her pokémon. still unlucky imo.
This video had hilariously good timing. Yesterday, I spent 10 hours straight trying to find a shiny Swablu in Pokémon Violet. Using the outbreak method. Which raised the odds. And I was looking for 10 hours. My friends got to listen to me as I slowly sank into insanity. Two hours after I finally caught the cloud peep, I was running around the map, and what appeared? A pink Dudunsparse. So yes, I find the timing of Alpha making this video funny.
Ah yes, "Great fan," perfect imitation of alpharad Mr. Scam bot account thing
Same for me but I was with 30 hours and it was shiny rayquaza in shining pearl. Also I kinda found a shiny gabite in scarlet. Anyways good luck with that
Whats funny is my friend found a shiny altaria and then proceeded to accidental break her oled switch
Bro really found one of the rarest shinies in the game after a 10 hour shiny hunt.
Stumbled on a teralized shiny altaria on the way to gym, felt so darn lucky
Now do a nuzlocke

The chat going ballistic for red Gyarados was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen

A relaxing stream and a shiny only run are two different things
I remember using the Old Rod for the first time in Sword/Shield and immediately being greeted with a Square Shiny Magikarp.
Needless to say, i was....ecstatic
I remember fondly that I was shiny hunting G. Meowth in Shield. I got a square shiny Electrike isntead.
The exactly same happened to me, it was beautiful
I recall doing an Eevee raid... Square shiny.
I don't know why but Everytime I see someone do this challenge, they always get chikorita as their shiny with the occasional totodile. I have never seen someone get a cyndaquil in these shiny only runs
Alphard is slowly becoming a Pokémon channel and don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing
I guess he lost all his characters to Crazy Hand.
(I doubt he's going to fully become a Pokemon channel, he has multiple projects he had to delay due to the hospital visit and these don't require as much physical movement.)
@@Loratplease be quiet.

What sort of Pavlovian magic is this? Am I forever a slave to this little sparkly noise?
Omg literally same. The insta panic is reallll
shiny-only Scarlet/Violet is probably very doable with the rate at which you just encounter pokemon in the game, I personally can attest to getting a shiny Skovet and Lechonk in my first two hours of gameplay, before I even entered Mesagoza.
I got a shiny Mankey, Rufflet and Iron Bundle within a 48 hour period when I first played
Really???? TOOJK ME WEEKS TO GET SHINY ROCKRUFF ;-;
@@SPinoEatsFishweak. It took me 7 months of 4+ hours of grinding per day refusing to play any other games for a shiny metang
I found a shiny
Then a bird one shotted me while I was trying to also hatch eggs
I hate this game I hate this game I hate this game I hate this game-
Shinies only started pouring in for me after I got the Shiny Charm. Before that, I only had a Shiny Snorunt. This may still end up really painful.
Funny Fact: I caught a shiny Shinx within my first 15 minutes of playing Shining Pearl. My very first shiny and I was like "Arceus is watching over me, praise be his name 🙏."
I like how in every stream Alpha always progressively turns into a drunk dad.
I read drunk dad as "drunk oak" and was confused
You know Jacob is the luckiest person ever when his gaming chair alone managed to counteract Jaiden's bad luck.
I love the energy between Jacob and Jaiden. I must've watched the Mario Maker 2 video of them a hundred times and each time it gets funnier and funnier.
8:06
"And so it begins"
2 seconds later
"And so it ends"
Jacob is just a master at unintended comedic timing
I like how alpha rad literally could just throw stone every single rock paper scissors and win since Jaiden couldn’t use paper anymore but he decided to still use paper and lose I lost it so hard there
Classic Alpharad
13:50 this part is *the* best of part of this *one* video you made Alpharad. I think *piece* of content deserves an award because the editing *is* just so *real*
I think we can all agree, Baabu was the true MVP in this challenge. He sacrificed himself so Alpharad could beat red. R.I.P Baabu, 2022-2022.
0:13 That Animated Whimsicott GIF is flippin' Adorable
Mud pulling up with a shiny Golbat and talking shit to Alphard for modding the odds is the coldest Rival moment in Pokemon history
The fact that Hoppip is recurring in Mr. Rad's pokemon experience is hilarious to me.
What I love about this game is that even the overworld sprites are shiny, really nice aesthetics
the thing with the dratini and then the eevee appearing almost instantly reminds me of when i shiny hunted the eevee in a actual cartridge copy of this game which took months, then wanted to shiny hunt the legendary dogs and accidentally saved over the point i could soft reset for them, but i check anyway AND I GET THE SHINY RAIKOU, and its a roaming pokemon so i could run and encounter it again and itd always be shiny so i couldnt fail it. most insane shiny iv ever gotten and i swear this game has some sort of internal karma system for shinies
Today we are here in honor of Alpharad's sanity. I personally never knew it. In fact, I don't think it was even there. But it will be remembered. And it will be missed.
I watched so many Nuzlockes, i was wondering why he revived his Starter pokemon
Jacob, 8 hours deep in a dratini shiny hunt: "I can no longer see the horizon... Hatsune Miko?! IS THAT YOU-"
Outstanding video, Jacob. Looking forward to your Shiny Only Nuzlocke.
Any time Jaiden cameos in a new Alpharad video, it's a good day. They have such great chemistry on camera!
Jaiden carries Jacob.
@@derpaderpy4931 got ‘em!
It's amazing how Jaiden-
1. Met a shiny in less then 10 or 20 minutes.
2. It was somehow Hoppip or BABBU as we all remember.
3. It was also another grass type.
I feel like the goddess of luck just wanted to take a jab at Jacob cause why not.
This is the most raw, unfiltered deep dive into the human spirit that I have ever fucking witnessed on the internet.
And it happened because of a pink worm and Bojack Horseman.
fighting gyms and catching pokemon: little bit of nostalgia...
voltorb flip: BEST GAME EVER MADE I'M NOT TAKING THE GOGGLES OFF
Oh damn, how long would this take? Now imagine a nuzlocke.
idk watch the video
My friend tried that and he failed. I called him a madman and he greed with me
Imagine make a SOULLINK out of that.
Challenge: impossible.
Maybe the death rules but its just not feasible to only be able to catch shinies, and also only be able to catch your first encounter each route. ... Maybe, you can only catch the first shiny you encounter? Actually maybe I'm coming around
theres a bunch of shinylockes on youtube but a lot of them raise the odds so they dont take months
I love how alpharad and jaiden have become such good friends
I hate that people don't like chikorita, it's cute, learns poison moves, and is just good overall, I used a bayleef to defeat Whitney's miltank with poisonpowder
It’s just not very good to be honest. I played Gold when it came out and not once did I think to pick it. Bulbasaur in gen 1 was actually objectively the best starter which made some people pick it over the cooler alternatives
Criticisms aside, its early movepool is quite effective against Miltank. Poison Powder, Synthesis, Reflect, all very helpful moves that you'd get on Bayleef by the third gym.
Yeah the Totodile line has Rage but that requires Whitney's Clefairy to use Double Slap, which I don't often see happening. Meanwhile the Cyndaquil line basically needs Smoke Screen and that's not a good look.
21:37 nah ur not gold, ur SILVER 🤣 IM SO FUNNY RIGHT HAHAHAHA
18:35 Moral of the story: threaten animals to make them change colors

I was hoping for a Chikorita starter! I know that Chikorita is the least useful Johto starter but it was the one that I started with when I got my very first Pokémon game so it has a special spot in my heart. ❤️
That shiny gyarados find was sick
Yup, being there live for Jaiden getting a shiny Baabu while Jacob goes to pee is peak, peak, PEAK comedy.
4:25 The beginning of the legendary Rock, Paper, Scissors Nuzlocke.
props to the guy in chat who said it again, but louder
the timing on her encountering shiny hoppip and what she was saying was hilarious lmao
Glad that a shiny Crobat got some time to shine here, since my very first shiny, (not counting gyarados obviously), was a shiny Golbat I caught in Meteor Falls in Ruby version, which eventually evolved into Crobat during the middle of one of my fights against the Elite Four. I had no idea what shiny pokemon were at the time so I even thought it was a glitch that it was a different color, and was worried when it evolved it wouldn't stay different, so I even broke out my strategy guide to compare the color of it in game with the image in the book just to see.
I used the name rater to change its name to "PINK CROBA" not realizing that the last letter got cut off until much later after I'd transfered it to a different game and couldn't change it. I ended up carrying that pokemon with me throughout my journey over many years, eventually making it part of my team in every game up to and including Moon. The only reason I haven't transferred it beyond is due to just having no interest in the mainline games since then. Part of that lack of interest in general is because the newest games have completely devalued shinies as a concept with how much they've lowered the rates, though there's plenty of other reasons as well.
The luck that we got was the friendship we inevitable destroyed between Jan and alpha over the next 22 minutes
Everytime Alpha uploads pokemon
YOU KNOW
it's gonna be such a BANGER video
11:04 bro what is he doing
13:53 The pink worm is REAAAL
Honestly, even with amping up the shiny odds, this still sounds like an absolute rigorous playthrough. Mad respect! Gave rise to great content indeed.
It’s really funny because there’s a way to manipulate the actual HG/SS cartridge to dramatically increase shiny odds.
Shows how insane smallant is for doing this full odds
holy shit aphara
The decent into madness is a fascinating thing to watch.
Hoppip being your first nyon-starter shiny in this video made me happy since it was my first ever wild shiny too :D
18:49 No actually tho I can't tell you the amount of times I've been grinding for something and then the second I complain and quit grinding the game gives me exactly what I want.
Shiny garchomps actually my favorite shiny Pokémon, I just love how it goes from a great shiny, to a good shiny, to a…shiny?
I think Gible and Gabite are like Superman , and Garchomp is Clark Kent.
Listen to my music
Shiny Garchomp and zapdos are a massive disappointment
I remember when i started a shiny only run in soul silver and i used to do this thing where i’d keep updating my gf for all my Pokémon runs, I’d have her nickname all my Pokémon or as I referred to any she named “ours”. It just gives me flashbacks of her. But man Pokémon has been there when i was such an innocent lil 5 year old to an adult. And it can’t go anywhere lol
It can go somewhere
To the grave with us 💪 😤🪦
Jaiden isn't unlucky, shes just good at getting unlikely odds
15:14 best line ever “all we had to do was max out our friendship with copious amount of drugs” I’m dying of laughter :)
Hilda IS the best protag design THANK YOU
Small ant actually did this with out increasing the shiny odds. Its incredible how he did that
That might have been one of Alpha's best sponsor segments of all time
