    My little sister was once a littler sister, and she decided to start playing Pokemon Ruby. BEFORE she got the chance and ability to catch Pokemon, she encountered a shiny Wurmple.
    She knew about shinies and how crazy rare they were, and it was completely impossible for her to catch!
    I'll always remember what she said. "I guess this is how my life is gonna go, huh?"

    I only ever use Masuda method. You always have direct control over exactly what Pokemon you're hunting for, the range of WHAT you can hunt for is limitless bar legendaries, and unlike most wild shinies, chances are you'll get a shiny with near or even perfect stats and movesets. The only downsides are it is slower than some other methods, and when you do get a shiny there's no sparkle fanfare upon encountering it.

    • @croatiancowboy
      @croatiancowboy Před 5 lety +4

      i am personally also a big fan of the masuda method since you have a chance to get a shiny for every single mon that is not a legendary or does not have a gender. plus despite probably taking the longest time between each encounter, you get that sweet 1/512 chance

  • @MirthMouser
    @MirthMouser Před 8 lety +57

    For those who are considering Poke Rader as your method of shiny hunting I have a few more tips.
    First of all, it is NOT easy at ALL. Poke Rader chaining requires concentration, a lot of time, and TREMENDOUS PATIENCE. I cannot stress enough how much patience you will need. On average, it takes an hour and a half to reach the chain of 40. And since you will probably fail more than you succeed, be prepared to have hours worth of time and effort go to waste.
    Sometimes it will only take a day or two to successfully chain a shiny, other times it can take WEEKS. One time it only took me one try. It depends on whether the game wants you to get it or not. Or just plain luck.
    And when they say you will need LOTS of repels, they means HUNDREDS. Trust me, you do NOT want to run out. In a chain, there is no such thing as too many repels.
    Don't have any eggs in your party, when they hatch they WILL break your chain. Also, if you need a break from chaining, it's okay to close your 3DS, it won't break the chain. Just try closing it in the middle of a battle. That way when you resume your chain you won't have to remember which grass patch was rustling last.
    To keep track of your chain, use a pokemon that has lot of PP for it's moves. Like 20, 30, or 35. This way, you can remember which chain number you're on by deducting the number of moves you have used. Because of this, a strong pokemon, that can quickly defeat opponents in one hit, is preferred.
    Some grassy areas are better for chaining then others. It has nothing to do with chance, but bigger grass areas are much easier to work with. The larger, the better.
    When choosing grass patches, as it was said in the video, always pick the strongest ones. Avoid grass patches on the edges. Because when the chain starts again after the battle, there is a chance no patches will shake, and the chain may break. Always pick patches that are strong and not close to you. The farther a patch is from where you are, the better your chances of keeping the chain are. NEVER pick a patch that is right next to you, even if it is strong. There is a chance it will break your chain. Also avoid patches that are rustling right next to eachother, they aren't bad choices, but they aren't the best. As said in the video if there are no desirable patches, just run around and try again, it won't break your chain. Just avoid the rustling patches as you run.
    If you thought you saw a good patch, but you weren't quite sure, just try again. It isn't worth breaking your chain.
    Don't use your skates or your bicycle. Bringing them out will break your chain at once. You've been warned.
    When you finally do see a sparkling patch, it doesn't matter where it is, go straight toward it. You don't have be picky anymore.
    If you are lucky, you'll see a sparkling patch before you even get to 40. But it's unlikely, so don't count on it. It's only ever happened to me twice.
    Keep your ears open, they are just as important as your eyes. If your working in a big patch of grass, you might hear the sparkling patch before you see it.
    Overall, stay FOCUSED. One false move could destroy your chain. Never let your guard down for a second until you've caught your shiny pokemon.
    No matter how hard this may seem, trust me, when you see the sparkle of that shiny pokemon you want, all your pain and effort will be worth it.
    Don't be intimidated by this method. It may be challenging, but I have successfully chained and caught over 20 shiny pokemon this way.
    Good luck, and keep trying!
    If you have anymore questions, let me know.

      Kat Luu​​ It isn't as easy as they say it is, right? It does take a lot of time and effort.
      I learned my shiny chaining methods through trial and error. You can trust my advice. I've caught many shiny pokemon through chaining. I know what works, and what doesn't.
      Sometimes practice makes perfect. Chaining sometimes take time to master.
      I'm a lot better at it then when I started.
      It's takes skill and luck.

    I unintentionally got a Masuda-method Metagross while breeding for a competitive Metagross, so it has four perfect IVs and is basically competitive. Certainly one of my favorite shinies. Interestingly, one of its parents is also a shiny, as my breeding ditto is shiny since I got it from sos chaining

  • @TheFingerTrapMaster
    @TheFingerTrapMaster Před 8 lety +43

    Just a helpful tip for completing the national dex: Divide and conquer! Start with your games local Pokedex, besides a few exclusives which can be traded for easily (besides legionaries). The best way of doing this is going to every route in the game, and capturing every possible Pokemon. Once this is done, the oval charm is yours. Now start completing the Pokedex one region at a time, you will find that the Pokedex will already have a nice start thanks to finishing your local dex first. I started with Kanto, and went forward from there.
    If you have ether X/Y AND Omega/Alpha than things are much easier since you can get pretty much every non event Pokemon without the need to transfer them from previous generations.
    Now the difficult part, evolving all the Pokemon you own to their final form, or breeding them to get their baby forms. Again I recommend going in linear order to make this simple as possible. If you own Alpha/Omega than this part is far easier, because you can download Smogon secret bases and those are filled with level 100 Blissies that knock themselves out in a triple battle. Combine this with a lucky egg, and you should be able to evolve a Pokemon once per battle.
    As for breeding for baby forms, remember that since you got the oval charm earlier, this will speed things up. Use flame body as always (my favorite is Talonflame thanks to having both flame body and fly)
    Just take it slowly and do other things in the background, or hyper focus it in periodic sessions. One thing you will find is that the more region dexes you complete, the faster the next regions dex will be (seeing as things overlap) On a fairly casual level, I managed to do this in two weeks. Best of luck folks!

    • @QuassarSonic2010
      @QuassarSonic2010 Před 8 lety

      +TheFingerTrapMaster That is very similar to how I went for completing the Gen 6 National Dex, only I added in breeding multiples of the same evolution line (Number varies on how many stages, and if they they do or do not branch like eevee, or Kirlia and Snowrunt). And put them in my Pokemon Bank for future Gens. I actually got 3 shinies hatching the eggs, a Chimchar, Chikorita, and Ralts (and that was before the shiny charm).

    • @TheFingerTrapMaster
      @TheFingerTrapMaster Před 8 lety

      Then while walking around in Omega Ruby, not even searching for Pokémon, I got a random encounter. Shiny Swablu.
      I have played at least one version of each generation of Pokémon and these were my first two shinies ever.

I figured that fishing would be a quicker way of getting wild pokemon to appear, completely forgetting that the whole chain fishing thing exists.

      +jarren reed That's exactly what happened to me in my SoulSilver. I should've thrown a quick ball right away instead of dwindling its health down like I did, just to at least prove I tried to catch it. What a way for the game to troll players hard.

    Much as I'd like to play a gen 6 Pokemon game when I haven't yet, my first shiny Pokemon was actually a Weedle in Fire Red. I initially beat the game with my starter as Squirtle, and decided to make a new game choosing Charmander. Found the shiny Weedle shortly after entering Viridian Forest.

    When I found out about chain fishing 3 or 4 years ago, I got a shiny relicanth within 5 minutes. I was all like “whoa this is lit” and proceeded to waste several additional hours getting absolutely nothing.

    I cannot shiny hunt. I don't have the patience for it. The only tried to shiny hunt two Pokémon: Chespin and Cloyster. Weird combination, but they're my two favorite Pokémon.
    Anyway, I decided to go for the Cloyster first, because I just needed to chain fish for a shellder and give it a Water Stone, and JWittz is right: it's the best and the easiest method. It took me about 30 minutes to get it, and along the way, I also got two shiny Skrelps. After that, I felt confident to get a Shiny Chespin. I decided to go with the Masuda method because even though one my friends had Quilladin in their Friend Safari, I knew I'd have a higher chance of getting something I didn't want. I ended up hatching 432 eggs (I counted) in hopes of finding anything, and nothing. After that, I just gave up. I realized how much of my time would be put into finding that one elusive Shiny Chespin.
    I'm sure there are other people out there that probably soft reset a billion times to get one shiny, but I don't think I could ever do that.

    I got my first and only shiny Pokémon (Pikachu) by accidentally DexNav "chaining". Let me explain. I was in the safari zone in ORAS, and decided to catch a buttload of Pikachus for no reason. The thing was, I was using the DexNav to search for Pikachus, and I was so in the moment that I forgot that DexNav "chaining" was even a thing. Only roughly 30 Pikachu catches later -- BOOM -- shiny! I cannot express in words how I felt when I saw the sparkle and the altered palette. ✨

    I found my first (and only) shiny Pokemon a few years ago, and it was a Spearow, I think. But what's funny is, I acquired Pokemon Y the day after Christmas. As I was healing at one of the Pokemon Centers, Nurse Joy started talking about Pokerus. I looked at my team, and one of my Pokemon had it. And just a few minutes afterwards, every single pokemon in my party had Pokerus, and I had already had 5 of my 6 teammates

    I remember the first shiny I ever got. It was around the time this video was released, so I was 9 or 10. My bratty cousins were coming over and asked me to try find a shiny Pokemon for them. I knew what shinies were but I didn’t know you could hunt them. I watched this video and tried chain fishing. I just did it to keep my cousins occupied and I didn’t expect to find a shiny. After only 16 encounters, I came across a beautiful golden luvdisc. Both me and my cousins freaked out and with shaking hands clicked pokeball and threw a ultra ball at it. And that is the story of my first shiny. Since then I have caught 5 other shinies. In x a wailmer and skiddo and in moon a wingull, eevee and litten(that one took a LONG time)

    @Lucifronz Před 6 měsíci +1

    10:59 Just for anyone seeing this video later on, while this is entirely true in Generation 6, the video this is about, it's important to note that breeding changes with each generation and later generations can actually pass down balls at a 50% rate if the Pokemon match. So if you heard about the Masuda Method from this video but you decided to do it in, say, Generation 9, the rules have changed and you should look up more info to make sure you get your shiny exactly the way you want it.
    In fact, it's this change to Poke Ball status that makes it so easy to get say, a Hisuian Zorua in a different Poke Ball than the ancient options from Pokemon Legends Arceus. Since regional forms can breed with each other, you can put an everstone on the Hisuian Zorua and have it breed with an opposite-gender regular Zorua from Scarlet/Violet that you caught in, say, a Moon Ball, and then breed the two together. After you get the Hisuian Zorua in the Moon Ball, replace the Hisuian Zorua parent with that one and all of your Zorua eggs will hatch with a Moon Ball.

  • @SanchezMonin

    Some notes about DexNav chaining odds:
    -Chain doesn't matter, to an extent (I'll explain later)
    -The only dexnav encounter that is full odds is when you haven't seen said pokemon at least once
    -The shiny odds increase every 100 encounters added to the search level on the top right, capping out at 999
    -The higher the search level, the more likely you are to find competitively-viable pokemon
    -Shiny charm DOES help
    -On the 50th encounter of a chain, you are 5x as likely to find a shiny. This applies only to the 50th encounter, not any encounter before or after
    -On the 100th encounter of a chain, you are 10x as likely to find a shiny. This applies only to the 100th encounter, not any encounter after
    -Since the chain shiny bonuses dont last long, its best not to stress about the chain. You're more likely to encounter a shiny while getting to a 50 chain than to find one on the 50th encounter itself. Same thing applies to the 100th encounter
    -The bigger the chain, the harder it is to track down pokemon while Cave or SurfNaving. This also increases the pkmn's level
    -Getting to a chain of 100 will reset the difficulty and level of chained pkmn

    Another tip for chain fishing: Suction cups and sticky hold will still be in effect when the pokemon is fainted, so if you have a pokemon with one of those two abilities at the head of your party while fainted, you can keep the benefits of their ability while using better catcher pokemon.
