  • Ever since Shiny Pokemon were introduced to the Pokemon series, the idea of hunting them has taken over the entire community, and personally, I've never invested much time into it. I've always wanted to make a video on catching shinies, but I wanted to do it as big as possible. I caught every shiny Pokemon available before each gym badge... This is how it went. This video took a lot of time and effort to put together, so I'd really appreciate it if you shared this with a friend. If you have any suggestions for the next video, leave it in the comments below! Have a great day :)

      no way most of them were full ods.
      he seen 350.000 pokemon. 135 of them are shinys.
      thats 1 shiny for every 2700 pokemon seen.
      when you hunt a shiny you could obviously get it after 1000 tries. or after 4000 tries or after 10.000 tries.
      but the more and more pokemon you catch and see the closer you will get to the real odds.
      (its like flipping a coin 10 times. you could get 5 heads. or only 3. maybe even 10.
      but when you flip a coin a billion times you will end up at about 50% for sure)
      static encounters, fossils, trades etc. which definitely have odds of 1 in 4096.
      which means all of the rest of the pokemon (100-110 or something in that range) most likely had odds better than 1 in 4096 thus not being "full odds"
      catching all 135pokemon at full odds you would expect to see 550.000+ pokemon

    I think the craziest part about this is that about a year ago it was discovered from that the bonuses of a catch combo in terms of shiny rates both' only apply to that species your comboing, and it only applies to the *next* spawn of that species. So if you run away or let the pokemon respawn your essentially on full odds. The best way to shiny hunt on lets go is actually just to keep catching the pokemon and force more of that species to spawn each time you catch one.

      @@LucifersLandLord Basically, when you get to a combo of 31, the next pokemon of that species that spawns has the increased chance to be shiny. After that spawn, all spawns of the same species go back to base odds regardless of the catch combo. So, instead of achieving a combo of 31 then waiting for hours, you should combo past 31, and catch every pokemon of that species until one is shiny.

      Wahhhhhh. Cry some more. "Emotional" about a children's game? Seek help.

    Dude. As a pokémon player (playing for 20years now maybe), you became my hero. You have my congrats, my sub, my like and my comment. You deserve all the best. I rarely do that, but you got me watching the entire 1:17:45 video, without skipping any of it. Thank you.

    i can't even understand the dedication it took to do this because this is more than just grinding and getting "rewarded" along the way, it is HOURS each and every day of mostly stress to do something that when put in perspective is different color pixels in a video game but is a medal for so so much more.
    Congratulations is all i can say, amazing work
