- Shiny hunting has become a HUGE staple in Pokémon games, but did you know there are shiny hunts no one has ever heard of? Today we'll be looking at a few of these and talking about why they've fallen into obscurity for all these years.

I clicked on the video when I saw braviary in the thumbnail, as my first shiny was this exact one in OR, I was just playing normally and remember being really surprised when I saw it sparkle. Thanks to you for reminding me that, as I would have never realized it was that rare to get while hunting for it normally 😅
You may very well be the first person to ever get this shiny, that's amazing!! 😳
same here, flew into a Shiny Braviary back in the day
Yooo this is wild, I actually got the shiny Braviary on stream TONIGHT! Look out for the CZcams video soon! 🦅 ✨
I also got a shiny Braviary this way! I was flying around leveling up mons to complete my dex for my charm.
I had the same lucky like you guys!! But, he was my second shiny, my first one was a Electrike
Just a bit of extra info: Johnstone has also completed the Gift Magikarp hunt during his "Catching Every Shiny Pokemon Before Each Gym" video, though to my knowledge you have the first video on CZcams.
That's right! His video went up before I was able to complete mine, I was only slightly salty 😂
not an obscure hunt but I remember hatching around 1800+ eggs in X/Y for a shiny mudkip, I shed some tears when it finally popped 😅😂
Oof that's rough, but congrats on getting the shiny!! Same thing happened for me with Froakie, I screamed super loud when I got it 😂
My favorite uncommon hunt had to be Mr. Pokemon's Togepi in HGSS! It's got pretty long resets, but no other hunt I've done so far has matched the joy of seeing that little, red star on its summary page.
I have a friend that's doing that hunt and if I remember correctly, they're over odds 😅 Congrats on your super rare shiny!!
Oof, hopefully it shows up here soon for them! Didn't document numbers, unfortunately, but I don't think I went over on mine? Definitely took a while, though. And thank ya ^^!!@@Testostyronne
I got hooked on hunting when I caught a full odds shiny Wingull in Emerald! I wasn't even looking for it, and because I played Pokemon Go it took me a second to realize how rare it actually was! lol
Oh wow, that's an awesome story!! You're lucky that you even noticed shiny Wingull since it's so subtle, congrats!! 😁
The main reason why no one hunted that 500$ Magikarp in Let's GO (except us :D ) is most likely due to the extremely easy "Catch Combo" shiny Magikarp you can get in the water areas.
So I guess most people just went for the catch combo one. Great vid man!! Loved the eye twinkers during the video haha
Agreed! Even I got a few catch combo Karps, but when I heard about this, I just had to try it! How many did yours take? And thanks for kind words ❤️
All the way back in 2011 in my first Pokemon game Pokemon Black I was stuck in twist mountain because at the time i was little and didnt know how to use hms. While stuck in twist mountain i found an odd looking boldore while at a friends house and we both thought the game was broken so i koed it ;-; years later I confirmed this memory by checking the dex entry for boldore and sure enough i encountered its shiny form😭
OOF that's a tough pill to swallow 😅 I'm thankful I was able to recognize that the Golbat was special and not K.O. it, although I was probably spoiled by the fact that I'd already seen the Red Gyarados and at least kinda knew what shinies were. RIP to the fallen Boldore 🙏
One of my favourite ones to bring up whenever rare hunts are brought up is Pokémon Battle Revolution.
After beating the Stargazer Colosseum for the first time, the Gateway colosseum becomes a trade battle.
Where you use the rental passes previously acquired in the game and can trade the Pokémon on it for one of the opponents Pokémon each match.
The Pokémon that the opposing trainer uses can be shiny, as they can in any of the colosseums in this game.
However here you can actually obtain the shiny Pokémon, because you can trade for it.
Added complications include that:
1. The maximum Pokémon that the opponent will use are 4/6 in a double battle.
2. You can only swap one of the 4 Pokémon you used for one of the 4 Pokémon your opponent used.
3. Any of the opponent’s 6 Pokémon can be shiny so…
4. They can not send out the shiny.
5. IF you obtain the shiny, you then have to beat all the rest of the battles in the colosseum (assuming you reset the first battle repeatedly) before you get to keep it. If you lose, you lose the shiny.
This is why I’m fairly confident that without some sort of proof, any particular rental shiny Pokémon you get from this method, you could well be the only person who has it, as very few people hunt these games, for rental Pokémon anyway.
I do believe, though I will accept evidence to the contrary, that I am the only person to currently have a shiny rental pass Snorlax from this method for example.
You can check out someone like Professor Rex to see some examples of what I’m talking about, I believe he has a few different videos about them.
Wow that sounds amazing!! I definitely gotta look into the hunts outside of portable consoles, but sadly they're always so expensive 😅 You very well may be the only person to have that Snorlax, so HUGE congrats!!! 🎉
This is the wildest setup for a shiny I ever heard :O
Really cool stuff!
Congratz on the Snorlax ^^
@@cecillewolters1995 Thank you!
You can also reset the starting rental passes for shinies, I didn’t mention that as a greater number of people have hunted the pass specifically so the Pokémon themselves are less rare. So if for some reason people really do have an itch to shiny hunt in Pokémon Battle Revolution but don’t feel like potentially losing the shiny, that’s a hunt they could try.
I got a Dragonair doing that. Though it felt like it took sooo much longer than the Snorlax, which I got fairly lucky with.
(They’re not even the only hunts, there are shiny costumes you can obtain! I haven’t hunted for those though, nor do I think I will)
They can never leave Pokémon Battle Revolution, but that doesn’t stop them being rather cool.
@@masmurdermonkey9233 I've seen the costume video, wild stuff :O
I have a soft spot for all games from gen 1 till 4, the Stadium/Colosseum like games are very fun and I love to battle my friends on those if they come visit
I’m absolutely LOVING the new format that these videos are taking, such high quality.
As someone who’s hardly touched a Pokémon game I learned a lot from this video.
Looking forward to seeing more!
I'm so happy to hear you learned something, but more importantly that you enjoyed it! Here's to many more 🍻

I think jhonstone did this magikarp hunt on a recent challenge vídeo.
I knew that video was coming up on my recommended for a reason 😂 Still proud to say I was the first 🙏
@@Testostyronne Great video btw :)
@@edsondiniz1851 Thank you so much!! 😊
ur videos are so good,idk why u already dont have 100k,bc u rly deserve it!,keep up the good work and never give up
That's incredibly kind, thank you!! 😭💖 Truthfully, this is the first video I've put a huge deal of effort in, but I plan to make every video as high quality as this one going forward 🙏
Okay one I learned about just recently was Gen 1 Hunting, apparently certain pokemon (mostly legendaries) will become shiny in gen 2, the catch is it needs a certain stat spread that i believe varies per save. Honestly, it sounds brutal given its a shiny you have to hunt in the 1/8100 and something odds, but also you cant even see it sparkle so you have to save, catch, look at stats and then reset until stats match then transfer to gen 2. It doesn't help that if you somehow mess up the stalt calcs for shininess the whole things invalid and you have to start over.
That's right! Gen 1 hunting is really cool, I plan to do this in the future!
I think minior SOS shiny hunting is also pretty obscure, you have to pay close atention to the sparkles because you can't see it and also watch out they don't explode in your face. So unique.
Well my friend didn't trade away a shiny Geodude, but his first and only Geodude trade in Let's Go Eevee resulted in him getting a shiny Alolan Geodude. I was super jealous.
WOW that's some crazy luck!! Imagine if he did trade a shiny, he would have made history without trying 😂
Fully subbed video? High video editing quality? Bless the algorithim, subbed.
Bless you my friend! 😊
My first shiny was a pidgey
He was my sparkly birb
Also: Justice for wingull
Great video Ty!!
Thanks bro!! My heart and soul went into it so that means a lot!
Hunting for underleveled evolved forms like the salamence you can get at like lv12 in alola is a great hunt. There's probably a bunch of ones nobody's thought to hunt for in this way, simply because they are available more plentifully elsewhere at higher levels.
My first shiny was a Phanpy I got while level grinding in the Sevii Islands in FR. It was a great moment. Not terribly long after that, I got a shiny Pidgey on one of the early routes. Still my only gen 3 shinies. Gen 6 and 7 have my highest shiny count, which is too many for me to remember the exact number, and I have a single gen 5 shiny, a Rapidash I got in a double patch.
Shiny hunting is such a fun hobby, my personal favorite methods being DexNav and SOS hunts.
I gotta try some of those underleveled hunts, would love to see if there's some more obscure ones! Agreed, shiny hunting is so fun when you can get used to the grind of it and the reward is unmatched. I bet every one of your shinies has a moment you'll never forget!
The craziest shinys I’ve gotten were either by accident or by doing something wrong. For example in X, I randomly got a Shiny Skitty looking for a white flower Flabebe, a Shiny Golett (now a Golurk) while looking for a female Hawlucha, and a shiny Fletchling from not putting on any repels for the Pokeradar stuff and getting a random encounter. Not to mention the random shinies I’ve found in Legends Arceus so far. I have and play Gens 1, 2, 6, 7, and Legends frequently enough and I’m hoping to find a new shiny pal soon. :)
Hahaha that's hilarious! After all that luck, I'd be inclined to stop using Repels 😂 Good luck on future shinies! ✨
This is the first video that wasn’t actually click bait damn, I was expecting you to talk about hunts like the manaphy egg, and was expecting to know all of these already, but I didn’t know any of these all! Super cool and definitely want to try them
I'm so happy to hear that! I feel like these aren't the most exciting hunts, but those have already been covered. I wanted to find some actual obscure hunts, regardless of how cool they actually are. If you do any of these, I'd love to hear how they go for you!
Lmao that last one is so silly. Nice video.
how's it going mate I used to watch you on twitch a bit ago i was outboardCloud so good to see your content again
Hey bro, great to see you!! I'm super happy you enjoyed the video! Pop by a stream sometime, would love to see ya! 💖
I know John Stone got a shiny gift magikarp in his shiny professor oak challenge last year, but GGs regardless
That's true, but my reaction was the first on CZcams 🙏
Awesome quality
Thank you!! A lot of time went into making this 😊
nice to have some fresh shiny hunting content to watch
Thank you for watching! 💖
My pain and suffering was the alpha sapphire story mode shiny latias. It's arguably the worst gen 6 hunt to do. 3 and half minutes at minimum for a soft reset, a double battle, and lots of dialogue. I also happened to go over odds and it took me over 500 hours and 10 months. Worth it though.
That's brutal but amazing you eventually got it!! I would love to do that hunt some day, kudos to you for the commitment!
I hunted for braviary on omega ruby a few years ago and managed to find and capture one (although I had an illuminate pokemon in the front to increase encounters)
Johnstone did the magikarp hunt in lets go when he did his "shiny professer oak challenge" but im not sure if it was before or after this video was released
"if you get a shiny at all during this hunt you've already made history"
me, who got a random soaring shiny while playing casually ages ago: huh
Accidentally a beast 💪
I randomly found a shiny pelliper in ORAS throught the soaring mechanic. Frist encounter of that day aswell
Wow that's crazy!! I bet you're one of the only people to have that shiny from here, congrats!! 💖
I remember some guy on twitch getting a shiny Wingull by that flying method in ORAS about a few days before the game actually came out lmao
nice video, have you ever head of the non-shiny hunt of gyrados in the lake of rage in gen 2?
I have, my friend Oliver_MKP hunted for that! He's an amazing guy 💖
are the trading pokemon actually possible to get shiny? i would've thought they'd be shiny locked, seeing as they have their own OTs like event pokemon
I thought the same til I saw them myself! I actually show footage of me getting a shiny Alolan Sandshrew through this method at 6:05 and I have another video where I get another Sandshrew and an Alolan Marowak in one stream 😳
Here's the video with Marowak and Sandshrew 😊
czcams.com/video/b04zW5bQNfk/video.html
I heard from a friend that there are hunters looking for the shiny manaphy egg from pokemon rangers. There is also the togepi egg in gold silver and crystal that you get after you beat the first gym.
people have been shiny hunting gift and trade pokemon forever. the rarest one is the Tentacool you get in Cianwood city, as very few people will ever get that gift pokemon in the first place.
That's true, but the point of this video is to highlight the more obscure methods that people don't know about, not necessarily how rare they are (although they are rare due to how little people know about them). A quick CZcams search of the Tentacool hunt will yield a lot of results and it even comes up as a suggested search, however you won't find any videos on people trading a shiny for a shiny.
One time I tried soft resetting for a shiny story mode Latias in Pokémon AS. Gave up bcs I hated having to go through a bunch of text and battle. I remember it being longer than the cutscene in xy before you got your starter
Yeah that's a tough one, one I hope to achieve myself one day. I'm also in the middle of the X/Y starter hunt for Froakie and it's definitely a grind 😅
Great video I hope you will get more subscribers ! 👍
Thank you so much! 😊
My first time using the eon flute in OR I accidentally found a shiny braviary the first time I encountered a Pokemon in the air
That is actually insane!! You are one lucky person!
My first ever shiny was a random Swablu while I was soaring in Alpha Sapphire
Deoxys' ass can wait, I had a bird to catch
Who needs freaky alien noodle when you got your golden birb! 😍 Huge congrats on this rare encounter!!
Finding random shiny Alpha Pokemon outside of outbreaks and fixed locations just feels special to me.
This video deserves more views
That really means a lot, thank you! ❤
I got a shiny tailow while soaring but I deleted save data. At the time I didn’t care but now I regret it
Awww noooo! 😭 Well, hindsight is 20/20, you couldn't have known that Taillow was that special at the time. At least you can say you've done something not many have done 🤜
I use to be a shiny hunter, but I lost the appeal. The issue I find is yes, you can work hard and get that amazing shiny, but then you run into the risk of that shiny having a bad nature, and even worse stats making it not something viable but for basic play. Thus, my shiny hunts have all been with breeding, after I put in the time and work to get the stats and nature I want, then I start amassing and hatching eggs for shinys. That to me is a bigger flex as now you not only have an amazing shiny to brag about, but one with good stats you can train up and actually use.
Shiny hunting is a funny thing. I agree having a shiny with good stats is a bigger flex, but it almost becomes too calculated for me at that stage. The biggest flex of all would be getting stupidly lucky by getting a random encounter shiny with good stats. To me, that's the kind of one in a million thing that becomes a true flex, otherwise in a sense it just becomes another Pokémon you trained. That's just me though, I think it's different from person to person. I've also been involved with the competitive scene so I 100% understand the stat side of things.
I remember the first shiny I've ever encountered was a shiny Durant from a jumping bush in X and Y. Later in that same file I also found a full odds shiny Ducklett and 2 full odds shiny Geodudes in the same horde. I didn't have pokeballs, I couldn't catch either. It hurt my soul
the soft reset for the cave pokemon sounds fun!! especially cuz u can get such cool pokemon like ferroseed or woobat with the kalos champion title :') surprised its not more well known
Right, I wish there were more versions of it! It makes great use of the environment and feels very immersive!
My first shiny was a tentacool, it was also the first tentacool I had seen in the game since it registered as a shiny in the pokedex
THAT'S INSANE! I've never been so lucky as to had my first encounter of a Pokémon be shiny, but someday I really hope to. Congratulations!! 🎉
My first shiny was a tentacool too! It was in x and y and i just found it randomly swimming around
@@symphony-of-the-mint2008 that's cool, I got mine in ORAS, I don't have it anymore tho
I actually got a shiny wingull in alpha sapphire as a random encounter
My first shiny was a growlith in Moon. My cousin accidentally soft reset the 3ds. I still have not gotten closure.
I'm so sorry for your loss, nothing hurts more than losing a shiny to a younger sibling 😢
my first shiny was my first game (alpha sapphire) and the first pokemon I caught (wurmple) turned out to be shiny, I didn't even know at the time and it took 3 years for me to go back onto the save and realize
Omg that's so crazy!! A similar thing happened to my friend with the original Sapphire, his Mudkip was shiny and he only found out many years later 😂
My brother also had this with a Wurmple. Thing is, he ran away from the purple bug and caught a normal one, thinking that was the special one >
my first full odds shiny was in sword and shield when i was completing the pokedex and needed stunky for the dex and the first one i caught was a shiny
That's amazing!! I've never had a first encounter to complete the Pokedex be shiny before. So cool! 😮
Just informing about the gift magikarp in lets go pikachu and eevee, Johnstone Shiny hunted the gift magikarp as part of his shiny pokemon professor oak challenge for Lets go pikachu. The video is a over an hour long so I can understand why you wouldnt see it.
I have seen it, but that video was posted 11 months ago and mine was posted 2 years ago. Mine was the first on CZcams (which is what I was claiming), but he actually got his 3 days before me. Regardless, I know of someone named RedDragonite who got his long before either me or Johnstone and he was the inspiration for me doing the hunt, but sadly there's no footage of it since it was removed from Twitch due to copyright.
I actually got 3 full odds shinies in pokemon scarlet in less than 20 hours of playtime, it was so amazing also they were all quite good (cubone, floatzel and masquerain)
Wow very nice!! I got a full odds shiny Larvitar on my playthrough. Not the best shiny but I'll take it 😅
@@Testostyronne quite nice I say
Sorta using the Ambush method?
Was shiny hunting Wimpod in SM in the wild. I don't know why I didn't Masuda method, but the way I did it was fun.
Had to trace the Wimpod's path so it would run into me. Kept saving to minimize the distance Wimpod needed to travel every SR. Took a few days as I would hunt for just and few hours a day in my free time between work an uni.
Took just under 2k SRs, got him in the middle of the night while I was talking to a friend. One of my more memorable hunts.
That's so cool!! I think the reason Sun and Moon's ambush hunt is less obscure is because the Pokémon are in the overworld so it's more clear and they're also more aggressive, whereas in X and Y they trigger in specific spots and can easily be avoided. Congrats on such an awesome shiny! I'd love to try this hunt myself some day 💖
The trades in Let’s Go Pika/Eevee tell you their gender and level when you talk to them, so you can back out and start the trade again without doing the animation. I don’t know if there’s any indication of shininess in the pixel art, but if there is it would save a lot of headache.
Sadly there's no indication of shininess. I've done this hunt a few times (without trading a shiny for a shiny of course) and there's no indication 😢
One of my first shinies was a shiny drifloon that I got from flying over Hoenn, not a braviary, but I wish I still had them
They'll forever live in our hearts 💖
The shiny magikarp was also hunted by Johnstone in the professor oaks shiny challange
I am aware of this, but mine is the first on CZcams.
I've actually gotten an Ambush Method pokemon on accident, though I believe it was in Sun and Moon. It was the spot where Vullaby and Spearow shadows chase you and can start a battle. I found a Shiny Spearow who is now a Fearow named Storm Eagle. It was a long time ago, the name sounded cool back then.
That's so cool!! I personally still love the name too 😉 Congratulations!
This is so underrated, glad to have seen your channel! Fun fact, I'm your 666th sub :3
That IS a fun fact! And also a little spooky 😱 Thank you so much for the kind words 💖
Sun and Moon were my first Pokemon games. I encountered shiny Metapod and caught it because it seemed special. I then traded it away for a legendary because I didn't know any better lmao
Happens to the best of us, I've definitely done some dumb stuff like that in Pokémon games 😂
my first ever shiny was a Ferroseed in White 2, i think i encountered it in Chargestone Cave? it was probably my first ever playthrough so i was maybe 10 or 11. i had my volume turned down and i looked away for a few seconds and was very confused when i looked back to the blue seed. i felt like i was seeing things but caught it anyway, and i was so excited when i realized what i caught!! 10 years later and i'm still a shiny hunter!! i'll definitely have to try one of these methods; while i'm currently doing the Vulpix hunt in my shiny playthrough of Eevee, i'm only doing 50 normal trades at the moment. i should give it a shot with some shiny Vulpix, too!!
Oh snap, if you do the shiny for a shiny, I'd love to hear how you go with it! Good luck on your shiny only playthrough, that's some commitment! 💖
i had a random shiny appear once while playing fire ash. i didnt even battle it i kept throwing pokeballs to catch it
Good call, attacking a shiny is always scary 😅
Have you ever tried to hunt the manaphy from the egg you get if you finished pokémon ranger ?
I sadly never owned Ranger, but I don't think I would commit myself to that hunt. Although I also said that about doing full odds hunts, and now here I am seeking out some crazy hunts and even trading a shiny for a shiny, so who knows! 😊
I spent ages in Scarlet hunting a shiny Rufflet as soon as I was able to. One day this lil floofball will evolve,lol.
Good luck, shiny Braviary is beautiful! 😍
@@Testostyronne My next personal challenge is to get one in PLA too. I love the burning feathers effect it has. Maybe i'll go for 2 so I can send one over to Scarlet. I wonder how hard a shiny alpha would be to get, lol.
Idk if anyone else has pointed this out, but you can encounter rufflet on one of the islands in ORAS, so that's another method of getting shiny braviary's / rufflets. I did that a few months ago for my shiny dex.
Yep, you can! But I found it super cool that you can actually find Braviary in the wild via this method, something that many people would have missed!
My first Shiny Pokémon was actually in ORAS, flying into the birds. It was a Shiny Pelipper and since then I was obsessed with Shiny Pokémon as my Name should tell 😅
THAT'S SO COOL!! I love how that one shiny has left such a lasting impact! 💖
I know this is an older video but I have actually done the reflection cave shiny hunt. It's been a year so more people probs have as well. But mines was for a shiny race with my friends where we have to find a shiny using every method in XY. I was in the lead missing only SR. So i deiced to hop into the cave and started hunting well after like 1-2 hours i ended up with a shiny Ryhorn i named victory as i was the first person to complete the challenge from my group of friends.
Managed to get 6 shinies from the ambush method (one unintentionally while grinding for fossils) Audino, Spewpa, Venepiede, 2 durants and one Dwebble
Let's gooo!! Spewpa is incredibly underrated imo, especially the shiny. Congrats!! 🎉
one more you needed to include is jirachi from 'pokemon colosseum jirachi bonus disc' but great video
That is a crazy hunt! Although quite obscure, I felt enough people on CZcams had already covered that one. Thank you for the kind words! 💖
So glad Masuda move on to bigger things🥳Hopefully the next director will care more about the franchise 🥺
MY first shiny was a Tentacruel in the team magma base in Pokemon Ruby. I caught it because it looked different. I knew nothing at the time, I was like 8. Unfortunately, I no longer have it.
Oof, a lot of first shinies sadly end this way, including my long lost Golbat. Much respect to the fallen shiny brethren 🙏
OH I'VE DONE AMBUSH ENCOUNTERS! my 100th shiny was fearow in x and y via ambush from the sky encounters! this hunt was purposeful; fearow is my favourite pokemon, and one of my favourite shinies!
What a cool 100th shiny to get, that's awesome!!
I got a shiny tropius from colloseum but I didn’t record it nor think it was rare until I googled apparently it hasn’t been recorded (this could have been old info I read though)
I think Colosseum shinies in general are considered to be very rare! Treasure that Tropius friend 💖
I've done that shadow method in Y in an attemept to get Hydreigon. Ended up getting a Fearow instead. I've also wanted to obtain Braviary in ORAS with the eon flute method, but never got around to it.
But one shiny that not many have gone for (as far as I'm aware) is the gift Latios/Latias from ORAS. Its full odds, but most people wouldnt go for it because it takes about 3 and a half minutes just ti get one encounter. I did that hunt a while back, and it was grueling. Definitely worth it tho
That Latios/Latias is a really crazy hunt and I'd love to do it myself one day! Kudos to you for actually going for it and huge congrats for that and the Fearow!! 🎉
pov when im the person that goes and gets shiny braviary through the still spawns in white 2, named them always fluffy bc yes
Yes, Fluffy. Yes
My first shiny was a shiny Zigzagoon in AS. I think I wonder traded it away just after I got it.
Omg haha did you do that by accident or...? 😅
i got a shiny foongus is pokemon white full odds when i tried to pick up an item, he just sat at the bottom of my party until i sent him to box for zekrom. Only my second non hunted shiney ive ever gotton, my first was a shiney shinx in pokemon platinum
Those are some nice shinies congrats!! I oughta do some more full odds hunts, there's no better feeling 💖
For a real challenge, use the Ambush Method at Kalos Victory Road's outside area
Its very rare, but with time, luck, and dedication, you can get a Shiny Hydreigon
Oh damn that sounds sick!! Definitely gonna give that a try, thanks!
@@Testostyronne
Np!
I mainly suggested it since Hydreigon has a criminally underrated Shiny. Plus, this is the first time in the series where you can get Hydreigon in the wild, the other being the Crown Tundra
My second ever random shiny was actually while flying on latias in alpha sapphire (an driftloon)
Now it feels extra special
No way, that's so amazing!! I'm super happy I could be the one to remind you just how special it is 😊
although I didnt get shiny Braviary, I did get shiny Swablu and shiny Taillow whilst I was grinding my Pokedex up for the shiny charm and I was using the wild sky battles to gain EXP for evolving certain Pokemon
Wait, so that means you got 2 full odds shinies from soaring?? That's so cool!!
@@Testostyronne yep! and they're gorgeous shinies on top of that
I may be a sin on the internet for saying this, but I do like green shinies and I definitely think shiny Taillow looks really nice! its shiny happens to be one of my favourite shades of green as well ^^
@@mira55x-planetnalzena15 I happen to agree, shiny Taillow is so cute!!
But why get the kantonian shiny if you're resetting for a shiny anyway?
To be able to say I'm the only person that's ever traded a shiny for a shiny 😎
I’ve heard of the last one I think it was for raichu
Watching this after finding a shiny in Gold, right after Bill called to let me know my box was full and I considered using a Repel but I didn't
F
No way that's so rough. I'm sorry my video cursed you 😥 F indeed
@@Testostyronne This happened before watching your video! Maybe the curse has been lifted, but finding another in a casual playthrough will be very hard anyway 😅
Can you get a shiny “gaspar” in diamond and pearl in that infamous haunter trade?
From the information I've gathered online, it seems that sadly it is shiny locked 😥 I like the way you think though!
This is a little late but I did the alpha sapphire bird encounter hunt before a few years ago and I was looking for a shiny murkrow, I ended up getting a shiny swablu from it!
So awesome, congratulations!! Shiny Swablu is so cool! 😍
this reminds me of my first shiny I got. Playing platinum and getting items in the great marsh when a shiny noctowl came out of nowhere as my first encounter for its species in that game. Caught it and has hidden power ice, which I plan to take out Cynthia's Garchomp with it
That's such a flex, you gotta let me know how that battle goes!
@@Testostyronne I am just surprised that my first shiny was the same one as Ash's
The first shiny I EVER found was a shiny murkrow in the sky encounters
That is truly insane!! You must be one lucky person
@@Testostyronneyea but sadly I didn't know what shinies were back then and lost it 😭
Obviously I didn’t trade a shiny to hunt for Alolan Vulpix, but did get it and original Vulpix. I think it happened pretty fast. I didn’t soft reset though. I went and kept catching to trade.
Congratulations!! If it were easy enough to round up a bunch of shiny Geodude, I'd do the same thing 😅
Jokes on you, I’ve done the last one for a shiny alolan Vulpix after I got an extra shiny kantonian Vulpix, took me over 10,000 encounters and over a year and a half of hunting but I did it lmao
That's insane!! Do you have a video of it? I'd love to see!
I got a shiny swablu in alpha sapphire years ago!
Wow, congrats!! Shiny Swablu is amazing! 😍
I love the mention of that Mt. Silver shiny Golbat.
When I was like idk, 9 years old maybe I was on my way up to Red to finish up my game. The last Pokemon I encountered on those steps up to the summit was my own shiny Golbat.
I didn't understand the concept of shinies at all, but the game did "teach" me beforehand, that this is special. Red Gyarados and all.
So I caught it.
And now lost it to the passage of time and finite energy contained within a button cell battery.
Now I'm 31 years old and this stayed with me as a core memory somehow.
I may be one of the most casual shiny hunters, not really part of the community, just filling a few boxes here and there every game because it's a fun thing to do during my work break, but I appreciate that such a small thing can in some way connect about every person playing Pokemon to this day.
It's a little like sharing a common interest in a music genre. And I think that's lovely in some way c:
This comment brought a tear to my eye 😭 Especially the fact that I'm also 31 years old! It's beautiful that a memory from a video game can have such a lasting impact and that we can share these memories with strangers on the internet. Thank you for watching my video and sharing your story 💖
surprised curry hunting wasn't mentioned lol
Really cool hunt, but I didn't mention it because it was already covered by my friend YoBoyFox. Check out his video!

About the last method, a few years ago I saw a video of someone trying to automate the shiny hunting process of the same method. You don't need a shiny Pokémon to do this, you can just catch as many of the same Pokémon you want and trade an infinite amount of times with the trader NPC.
EDIT: here is the video:

That's correct! I actually show off my shiny Alolan Sandshrew at 6:05 by doing this. The point of trading a shiny for a shiny is that no one has ever done it before, so doing so would make shiny hunting history
My first shiney encounter was Gyrados at Lake of Rage in gen 2, but I never caught it because I was a stupid kid. The first shiney I caught was a Nincada in Ruby, so when I evolved it, I got another shiney out of it in Shedinja.
Edit:It was in a fake copy of Ruby so I couldn't migrate it up.
Wow that's a crazy shiny to have as your first, a two for one! Sad about it being on a fake copy, but still a dope shiny nonetheless!
I got a shiny Noibat in Y via the ambush method
Didn’t know you could soft reset it so I did it by exiting and entering the cave
I actually thought about doing that too, but if I remember correctly the spots in the cave change location randomly every time you do that? I tested both of these to make sure you could indeed soft reset to get a different encounter and so that it was consistent. I respect you for doing it the way you did, must have been a grind! Do you remember how many encounters it took?
@@Testostyronne unfortunately I’m not someone who keeps track of how many encounters I do but it was the first shiny I encountered using that method and I think I managed to do it in one day
@@typemasters2871That's so cool!! Thankfully it wasn't too long of a hunt for you
@@Testostyronne yeah, and I’m happy that I got Noibat despite it being 20% ambush encounter in Terminus Cave
And the picnic shiny hunting in Sw/Sh
That's a good one, but it's already been covered. My friend YoBoyFox made a great video, check it out!

I prefer hunting full odds in gen 2,3&4, they feel the most special to me.
I think my rarest so far is shiny Magcargo in Firered, it has a 10% encounter rate and can only be found using rock smash, super tedious.
Wasn’t even looking for a shiny, I had my eyes on the Lv25. Magcargo, which I also found eventually
No way, you got it through Rock Smash at a 10% rate and you weren't even looking?? That's so cool! What an amazing shiny to call your own, congratulations!! 🎉
@@Testostyronne Thank you ^^
The first shiny i was able to capture was murkrow i found through soaring!
That's amazing luck, congratulations!!
My first fulls odds shinies were a phanpy in the ruby safari zone and a kadabra in cerulean cave in LG. Since then, I have caught not 1, not 2, but 7 full odds shiny Golducks across every generation since 3. Never a Psyduck, just Golducks 😅
Bahaha love that it's specifically Golduck, that's hilarious 😂
I'm pretty sure that whether or not you're pokemon is shiny the mpc will still have the chance to give u a shiny. I checked in serebii and there's no mention of this.
That's correct! I have footage of myself getting shinies by trading a regular Pokémon (for example, regular Kanto Sandshrew for a shiny Alolan Sandshrew). The point of trading a shiny for a shiny is to up the stakes and make the hunt more interesting, or in this case, do a shiny hunt that no one else has ever done!
