Video Description
*********************
In this video I attempt to shiny hunt for a shiny Galarian Zigzagoon or a Shiny Gossifleur using the ACTUAL shiny hunting method given to us in Pokemon Sword & Shield! The way the method works, is after you KO 500 of a certain species of Pokemon in the OVERWORLD ONLY, anytime that species spawns in with the brilliant aura, it will have about a 1/455 chance to be shiny! Is this shiny hunting method viable though? If you enjoy shiny hunting videos, make sure you leave a like on the video and subscribe if you haven't done so yet!

This is honestly really cool since the brilliant Pokémon come with at least one max IV and an egg move. So it's a pretty rad method.
Man, I literally got a shiny female Combee using this method while watching your video! You gave me luck. I had 999 KOs because I was EV training and then found your video, so I tried it and it worked!
Awesome! Congrats on the female too!
man that thing looks so gorgeous!! I love your Sw/Sh hunts the most cause it's the only game i didnt get to play, so these shinies always blow my mind when i see them! congrats!
Thanks! Shiny Gossifleur is top tier which is why I decided to KO them while hunting for zigzagoon! I’m glad I got one!
wait, this method actually _does_ make sense?!?!
looks like i'm starting my SwSh hunts back up, this changes _everything_
Good luck!
Hey I know im late to the party but thanks for the info currently doing a shiny dark type badge quest so this helps alot.
Good luck!
Nice to make use of my Pokémon shield game! I’m shiny hunting Rookidee in route 1 ( of course ) and I have battled them 73 times and although it will probably be much easier to shiny hunt one in Pokémon Scarlet/Violet I still wanna use Pokémon shield sometimes. Also I still don’t have the shiny charm somehow but I’m pretty sure in order to get it you need Zacian and I never got Pokémon sword
Good luck! Yeah to get the shiny charm you need to have registered all 400 Pokémon in the Pokédex! Sometimes you can find people on the gts or someone you may know to trade though!
I have well over 500 Nickit fainted, going to try this method!
Good luck!
Nice congrats!
Thank you!
I never saw the shiny of that thing. It looks kinda amazing.
Thanks for the information, I went back to sword and now im hunting Wooloo and Nickit on route 1 lol
Good luck!
@@ThedomiNATION Thanks! Got my Nickit, just looking for Wooloo now!
Not sure if you noticed , but the Gossifleur is an ultra shiny right? When it comes out it has the squares around it instead of the regular shiny animation
Nope! The square sparkles are nearly guaranteed for wild shinies in Sword and shield for some reason. Nearly every other instance where you can encounter shinies they will be a 1/16 chance to be square but in the wild it’s a 4095/4096 chance to be square. Not sure if it was a coding error or intended but it really ruins the idea of the square sparkles being rare :/
In shield I only have 1 shiny it's Kyogre and I haven't gotten another shiny since,see for me regirock I have 280 kos currently against regirock,my thing is my dex is at 352 because I am hunting the shiny legendary in the wild so do I need the shiny charm for the 100 kos or no?
The KO method only increases the shiny odds for brilliant Pokémon which are the Pokémon that spawn in the overworld with the yellow aura around them. Legendaries cannot be brilliant so KOing them does nothing to affect their shiny odds. On top of that the shiny charm does not affect the regi’s shiny odds so no matter what you’ll be going at a 1/4096 chance when hunting them
Hey a question, if i do this method (im doing a shiny only run) can i continue the chain whit killing the briliants or will that break the chain?
There is no chain so you can leave and return anytime and you’ll have the same odds
@@ThedomiNATION Ah thanks!
MAAAAN THAT WORKED TO ME, I got a Wooloo shiny in less than 200 ko :D
Congrats!
Could this be a viable method for hunting shiny snom right outside circhester? I’m trying to make my hunt easier since I’m doing a shiny only run
I think so! You could also try to get the Dex to recommend snom to make it appear more!
@@ThedomiNATION thanks, currently it’s recommending Pokémon in the area falinks spawns, and I’ve already caught one, do u know of a way I could make it recommend snom
I tend to use this method alot for shiny hunting. I call it the Brilliant Method
Good job man
But how many days did this take you?
Just curious
Took me one day. Only a few hours as I said in the video! KOing the 500 Gossifleur is what took the most time!
@@ThedomiNATION thank dude
I'm hunting for a stuffel on route 5
im here for the vibes
wow-that makes A LOT more sense, and makes things so so much easier than going to K.O 500 pokemon. however once I start to encounter brilliant pokemon, do I just run away when not shiny? Also, what are the shiny odds when 100 K.O max brilliant odds but no shiny charm?
The shiny odds at 100 KOs for brilliants are 1/1365 which is the same as the base shiny rate if you do have the shiny charm. I would recommend after KOing 100 Pokémon, then only encounter the brilliant ones but also KO those brilliant ones until you get the 500 KOs. That will ultimately raise your odds to 1/683 without the shiny charm
Dude thx! I tried this out and after 10 brilliant encounters. I got a shiny Stuffal
Congrats! That’s such a great shiny!
Hi Bro, I was gonna start a badge quest in swsh and just to clarify you would kill 100 Non Brilliant of the species, and then encounter and run away from brilliant until shiny? I think
Correct but I would recommend KOing the brilliants you encounter after getting the initial KOs. That way if you don’t get a shiny quickly you can gradually continue to raise your shiny rate!
@@ThedomiNATION ah ok so I ko d 100 elecktrike so now I encounter and ko all of the brilliant elecktrike and those get the shiny boost
Are they shiny also when they are running around or only when you do the encounter you see that its shiny?
Only when you encounter them. That is why I ran into a normal looking gossifleur and was surprised it was a different color in the encounter
can the max 100 ko method be used in conjuction with strong spawn soft reseting for even faster odds!?
No. Strong spawns cannot be brilliant so they won’t be affected by KOs
This reminds me of my most tragic shiny hunting day. I got a shiny zigzagoon but wasn't paying attention and ran away when the camera angle changed. I hadn't saved in like 2 hours so figured I was closer to a shiny 2 hours ago than now (idk if that's how it works but whatever). 2 hours later a shiny gossifleur walked into me, but the camera angle changed and I just saw the name so ran away again :'( I have since got a zigzagoon, but maybe I should reclaim gossifleur with this method
Oh no! At least you reclaimed the zigzagoon! Also if you run from a shiny and don’t save it won’t make you any farther or closer to a shiny again! (Unless you somehow had the shiny currently spawned in the overworld when you saved)
If I battle both brilliant zigs and brilliant gossis at the same time, it won't impact the chance to obtain either at all???? Like, would I have a higher chance to get a shiny zig if I battle only brilliant zig???
Shiny chance is determined by the number KOed in the Dex. If you have the same number KOed for each species the brilliants for both will be the same shiny rate. If you only KO zigzagoon then the shiny rate will eventually be higher for zigzagoon than gossifleur but will max shiny rates at 500 KOed so I would recommend just going for both until you hit a shiny rate you’re comfortable with
@@ThedomiNATION you're a legend mate, thank you!
Do you have to KO each one or does catching them work as well?
I’m actually not sure. I know KOing a Pokémon will increase it’s chances of becoming the next Pokémon that spawns in when catching does not alter spawn rate. You could always check by catching a Pokémon and seeing if that increases the number battled in the Dex. However I would recommend battling them regardless to make them spawn a little bit more increasing your chances at more brilliants spawning
@@ThedomiNATION alright thank you 🙏🏼
Wait hi !! I have a question , im new to shiny hunting so like I have 500KOS for Zigzagoon and I always encounter brilliant zigzagoons but I have been killin them 😓 does this decrease my chance ??
Nope! The odds of the brilliant shiny max out after 500 KOs and can’t be altered further! The only thing KOing more brilliants does is give you some watts when the battle ends!
@@ThedomiNATION so I just kill one Pokémon until 100-500 then ONLY encounter brilliants ???
If I happen to encounter another Pokémon or not an brilliant during that time will this mess me up ?? (Sorry for the questions)
@@Rottingmoe all good! Encountering other Pokémon do not affect your shiny odds for the brilliant Pokémon you KOed 500 of already! This is why in this video I was going after this set of wild encounters instead of just zigzagoon!
@@ThedomiNATION okay tysm then :DD haha ima try again to find a shiny ziggy wish me luck !
@@Rottingmoe good luck!
Even tho this video was posted 2 years ago and this question isn’t related to the video; Where are the dragonite evolution line posters from?
I made them!
They go pretty hard🔥
What are the shiny odds with 100 KO's and brilliant?
Brilliant Pokémon after you KO 100 is about a 1/684 chance. After you KO 500 it becomes about a 1/450 chance. I’d recommend KOing 100 then after only KO the brilliant ones
@@ThedomiNATION Okay thank you! I saw what you were doing in route 3 and I'm currently doing the same thing!
I currently have 999 KOs on a pokemon, do I continue to KO brilliant pokemon or just encounter them for shiny
You can KO them if you want the watts but once you hit 500 KOs there isn’t any other reason to continue KOing them. It makes the encounters take longer
So basically you don’t catch them? You just KO them and keep trying to find them to battle? I started playing, and I’m hunting for a shiny vulplix in this same area! I’ve only been catching them and no luck….but now I’m realizing you gotta battle and KO 100-500 of them?
Catching them does count for the number battled but it’s significant slower than KOing them. And yeah I would recommend KOing until you get 100 battled, then ONLY encounter brilliant aura ones while still KOing those until you reach the 500 KOs, then just run from them until you find the shiny!
So do you have to keep knocking them out or just run away after 100-500?
Whatever you prefer! The shiny odds don’t change much after 100 knocked out but I would recommend knocking out only the brilliant ones you encounter after the initial 100
Running is much faster
Was watching this video as I was killing off 100 Gosses and suddenly encountered a shiny Galarian Zigzagoon 😭
Oh no! At least that’s still a really cool shiny!
Wow Shiny Gossifeur
I love shiny Gossifleur! One of the best gen 8 shinies!
I’ve been hunting Frosmoth for nearly 2 YEARS (Dec 2020) doing the KO method on and off, with the last year being with the new info and me still encountering all spawns because brilliant spawns are so rare that I’d probably miss a shiny if I ignored everything but brilliants. Trying it on Path to the Peak because Frosmoth is like 80% of all spawns there.
Even then, the brilliant spawns aren’t often enough to just encounter them while ignoring everything else. Have over 500 KOd as well, with probably about six months of the last year where I exclusively encountered the brilliants. Still nothing. This method is ass. Masuda is quicker, easier, and you have way better control over your shiny’s stats when it does appear.
It really depends on what Pokémon you’re going for and where. The issue with frosmoth specifically is that the area you encounter it, doesn’t get too many spawns at once, so the 3% brilliant rate is not good enough. I’d only recommend this method if you are hunting in an area that gets a lot of spawn points and the Pokémon you’re hunting is very common. Even this hunt I did it wasn’t a great encounter rate and I simply got lucky. However in another video I hunt for zigzagoon in the wild area and the rate I found brilliants was much higher. I ended up getting a shiny two days in a row because of it. But yes in general Masuda method is probably more consistent overall.
@@ThedomiNATION I don't like masuda method because it's boring, all videos of someone using the method atleast show their hatched numbers above 1,000. But this is all my opinion
What are the odds without shiny charm? I’m doing a brilliant rookidee hunt and I want to know.
After 100 KOs it’ll be 1/1024, after 200 KOs it’s 1/819, after 300 KOs it’s 1/683 and after 500 KOs it’s 1/585 all without shiny charm!
@@ThedomiNATION I just did a Masuda hunt today as my first committed hunt, and I got shiny nickit in about 150 eggs! Under odds but was prepared to do many more!
@@Reign-Roblox congrats!
Good to see this done properly at last. Might try this method with psyduck, but I can't see myself generally favouring this over Masuda eggs.
It really depends on the encounter rate of the Pokémon you’re going after. I’m continuing my zigzagoon hunt in the wild area and with the sheer number of potential spawns plus the 35% spawn rate of zigzagoon, I get brilliant spawns quite often! That being said masuda method is more consistent but more boring IMO so its really a personal preference!
@@ThedomiNATION I might play around with hatching my backlog of eggs while I refresh route spawns looking for brilliant Pokemon since I always seem to generate eggs faster than I hatch them.
@@Umbreon-ln7fe good luck!
I just feel like you could hatch a lot more than 100 eggs in the same time this took and the odds are pretty much the same.
does that mean pokemon that hide in tall grasses will always be 1/4096 (1/1365 with the chroma charm) ??
bc i have more than 500 ko with milcery and idk if im doing all that for nothing
Yes that is unfortunately correct. Because milcery can only appear hidden in the grass, it means this method does not work for it
@@ThedomiNATION oh i see why it’s taking so long then, thanks for the reply!
Im hunting for riolu its a 5% spawn rate and I've killed 999+ and found this method and im starting to regret hunting riolu since its so rare (I started in November 2022 pls send help)
I would recommend to stop KOing them and just encounter any riolu you see. This method is not good for low encounter rate pokemon you’ll get a shiny faster going with the unboosted rates
So if a battle 100 of the same Pokémon it will increase the spawn rates of a brilliant Pokémon instead of the shiny rates
It will increase the spawn rates of the brilliant Pokémon AND the shiny rates of the brilliant Pokémon of the species you’ve KOed!
@@ThedomiNATION do I have to KO the brilliant or just encounter it and run away
Do i have a shiny Chance of 1/683 if i KO 500 Pokemon and dont have the shiny charm?
It would be a 1/585 chance if you KO 500 Pokémon without the shiny charm
@@ThedomiNATION Alright thank you
ur a legend
Ok can i ask even if it us 2 years ago is it 100 of the same species
100 KOs of whatever species you’re trying to hunt. The brilliant rates and shiny rates for the brilliants are dependent on the species of Pokémon. So if you KO 100 gossifleur and only 50 zigzagoon, gossifleur will have a higher chance to be brilliant with those brilliants being a higher shiny rate than zigzagoon. You can track these KOs in the dex.
Do you have the charm also when are you hunting rolycoly
I do have the shiny charm. Also if I’m gonna hunt rolycoly it will be after I finish my shining Pearl shiny only play through. I have however hunted rolycoly once before so that video can be seen here: czcams.com/video/QKAgadJ6Fic/video.html
What about the ! encounters, what would the shiny odds be on them?
! Encounters cannot be brilliant so they remain unboosted. Either 1/4096 or 1/1365 if you have shiny charm. This method ONLY applies to brilliant Pokémon which can only be obtained in overworld encounters or by fishing but fishing encounters work much differently and aren’t worth using this method with.
@@ThedomiNATION I kind of call BS on the whole shiny odds numbers. I was hunting for a Blipbug and first found a shiny caterpie with no previous kills. Then another pokemon on the same route with about 5 before getting the Blipbug with 999 encounters.
@@regitetihw84 you know it’s random chance right? There’s such a thing as being lucky or unlucky. I’ve gotten 1/8192 shinies in less than 100 encounters before that doesn’t mean the odds are wrong. I also have linked in the description Anubis’ findings of the method and all the odds where I got my info from. Believe what you want I guess but the data would show otherwise
@@ThedomiNATION I do know it's random and that all games have ways to increase the odds to get shinies. I have seen that numbers chart in other youtubers videos but no one has really explained it so I didn't understand what they were talking about. I have been hunting in games since diamon/pearl/platinum or heart gold/soul silver when they had the GTS (which think they should add back) and found out about the mesuda method. When ORAS came out I tried the sneak method on an island you get to from your mega lati in the game and got a random shiny Larvest on my first ever try using that method. In my Y game I got a shiny eevee on the first shaking grass patch after finding the first eevee on the route.
just want to verify, for the count, 109 for the brilliant encounters, not kos?
Correct! I KOed 500 off each species I was hunting and after it took 109 brilliant encounters to get a shiny
Im going to do this hunt today too :)
Good luck!
@@ThedomiNATION thanks. I am at 200 gossifleur Ko now. Im going to encounter only brilliant ones now. :)
If I bump into other pokemon on accident, does it break the chain?
There is no chain. If you KO a certain amount of a specific species of Pokémon, then every brilliant Pokémon of that species will forever have a higher shiny chance
@@ThedomiNATION oh that’s good to lnow, thank you.
Can u still ko the normal species of that Pokémon after 100 ko’s
Yes but it’s probably not really worth doing unless you just want to get the Max KOs right away
Does leaving the area reset the odds? I don’t have enough leppa berries to consecutively go for 500 encounters
No. You’ll permanently keep the odds. The Dex keeps track of how many you have KOed
@@ThedomiNATION what about the initial 100 encounters? My pokedex for Chewtle is at 511 and the brilliant mon rarely shows up like one every 30 minutes or so
Unfortunately that’s just how bad the method is. The max spawn rate you get for a brilliant mon is 3% of that species. So you would need to hunt in an area where mostly or only chewtle spawns. Otherwise, you won’t see many brilliants
@@ThedomiNATION Thank you so much! After 112 encounters I manage to get a shiny chewtle.
@@oscarcardenas574 congrats!
I've done this method on my old profile, right now doing a shiny badge quest, and my lord I'm already at 700+ brilliant encounters and no Rolycoly with no charm totalling 13 hours. I'm so frustrated but want to see it shine.
Hopefully you get it soon!
@@ThedomiNATION I got it today after 850 brilliant encounters 😂. But finally!!
@@Anon-ge1qp awesome! Congrats on the shiny!
The way I see the whole only increasing it bu a little is if you're gonna shiny hunt with better odds you might aswell go all the way instead of accepting worse odds
My recommendation is to only KO 100 of them, then after just KO the brilliant ones you encounter. That way you’ll only have higher shiny odds and you’ll keep getting them higher until you reach the 500 KOs
That's actually what I am doing. I realise Koing 500 is just a waste of time, plus i get extra Watts. Right now I'm hunting machop in the wild area and it spawns EVERYWHERE so I just KO every one I accidentally run into too
@@Cl00less awesome! That’s the way to do it! Good luck on your machop!
@@ThedomiNATION thanks. Good luck on your next hunt
To this day I'm still shiny hunting pawniard using this method. wish me luck.
Good luck!
@ThedomiNATION hi so I have kod 149 yamask so what now I ingor then unless they are brilliant??? New to shiled
if your trying to hunt a shiny pokemon with a low encounter rate then how would you go about it? This is my first ever time hunting for a shiny ever.
I would try to get your target to show up in the recommended section of the pokedex. If a Pokémon is recommended, It’ll have a higher encounter rate everywhere and not just where the Dex is showing it to be. Also depending on the type of Pokémon, you can have Pokémon with certain abilities in the front of your party to greatly increase the spawn rate of those types! Storm drain increases water type spawns, harvest increases grass types, magnet pull for steel types, static or lighting rod for electric types, and flash fire for fire types!
is there an easy way how to get a shiny because im trying to find one
It’s just random chance. This method specifically I’m going over gives about a 1/455 chance but it takes a bit to setup. There’s other methods you can do to get a shiny like masuda method but I would recommend checking out my shiny hunting methods tier list video if you want to get a shiny the fastest way! I go in depth on every shiny hunting method and rank them from easiest to hardest! Here’s a link to the video: czcams.com/video/bVWozeLMN4A/video.html
does running into a normal mon or different brilliant mon reset my chain?
There are no chains involved! You just need to KO a good amount of that species of Pokémon (preferably 100 but 500 gives max shiny odds) then every brilliant Pokémon of the species will have a high shiny rate!
@@ThedomiNATION ty, thats nice to know
Well this could have helped me with my alcreamie hunt
Unfortunately it cannot as Milcery cannot appear as an overworld spawn therefore cannot be brilliant 😔
i got a shiny galarian zigzagoon after like 45 KO encounters. (early game btw)
Congrats!
Now that’s luck
Freaking lucky 😭
When I started playing sometime into the game I ran into a Glossifleur and it was shiny
Nice! It’s such a cool shiny!
Im doing the same thing and i am well over maxed “times battled” and im at 53 hours on a shiny locke i want to big hurt
Ouch Hopefully you’ll get it soon!

Unfortunately I have already named my shiny gardevoir that! 😅
@@ThedomiNATION oh okay🤣🤣
Pawniard is wierdly hard for me to encounter no matter location. After 3 hours I only found 73?!
I’d recommend going to Giants Mirror in the wild area during snowstorm weather. Pawniard appears 50% of the time in the overworld in that weather and if you have a Pokémon in the front of your party with the ability magnet pull, it’ll make it about a 75% encounter rate! You’ll find them quite quickly that way!
Just did this last night before I saw this. Way faster, but no luck with pawniard but I did get my first random encounter shiny in the wild area. It’s a Vanillite!
@@incarceratedtoast5725 congrats! Hopefully you get pawniard next!
Doesn't this hunting method also mean you could get multiple in a short time? If so that's really helpful for getting whole lines fast
Yeah using this method I completed 3 hunts in a couple days! And there’s even certain Pokémon that are easier to hunt using this than that ones I went for!
Are you JasonPlaysPokemon's brother or something???
I don’t know who that is lol
@@ThedomiNATION Your lost twin, apparently
Is there anything that breaks or resets these odds?
Nope! After getting the certain amount KOed, every brilliant of that species will have the higher shiny odds!
@@ThedomiNATION well that makes it much better, has this been proven to work to other people as well?
@@PrezAhmdo yep the Twitter user I mention in this video actually went into the code and also tested this method out many times to confirm exactly how it works! I’ve also gotten many comments of people having success with this method after I posted this video explaining how to do it the correct way!
@@ThedomiNATION ohh ok ok, its just the lack of info online really drove me crazy so thanks a bunch for clarifying
Seems faster just to do random encounter with the shiny charm
Maybe. That’s why I’d recommend only KOing 100 to start and then only KOing brilliants after that. It’ll take too long to KO 500 unboosted Pokémon
should I get shiny charm for this method
It’s not required but it will give you slightly better odds when doing this which could quicken the hunts

@@Liliththecutie oh nice! Then congrats lol
Do I only ko brilliant aura pokemon
That’s all personal preference. KOing any Pokémon will add to the “number battled” in the Dex but only the brilliant Pokémon will be a boosted shiny rate. My recommendation is to KO 100 Pokémon to get the max brilliant spawn rate then only encounter and KO the brilliants until you get to 500 KOed
@@ThedomiNATION I have the shiny charm too
About 500 Pokemon and I'm currently 139 brilliants and still no shiny Pokemon I swear to God if I go over odds I'm going to stop because then this s*** is broken
I have actually been using this method in the wild area to try and get marked shinies and basically I found out that you get a higher shiny rate based on encounters per odds just doing random encounters over the brilliant method. So yeah after doing it a few times I have concluded that it isn’t really worth doing. The only thing it has going is it has the highest chance of getting you shinies quickly. But if you go even close to odds or over odds it can be extremely slow
@@ThedomiNATION so here's an update I finally got the shiny today it wasn't a brilliant Pokemon so I'm going to say only knockout at least 100 and then just go for any spawn after that.

Just KO'd 70 zigzagoon and got my shiny in the wild.
*it was immediately after watching this video.
Congrats!
So the shiny chain method was fake?
I don’t think there was ever a chain Method people talked about in this game. Most people assumed KOing 500 of a Pokémon would make all of them a higher shiny rate and it was only the brilliants that were affected. Unless you’re referring to the method where if you KO an overworld Pokémon, the same species will have a 50% chance to be the next spawn, which is a real mechanic in the game.
@@ThedomiNATION i'm referring to the kill/catch 25+ mons in a row method

@@myks0139 if you are referring to a chaining method in sword and shield than I guess my answer would be yes, it was fake. But there are other Pokémon games that do have a chaining method. Like catch combos in let’s go, pokeradar in xy and the sinnoh games, and SOS chaining in the alola games!
I didn’t hunt mine full ods
Neither did I lol this method is far from full odds. But I do plan to hunt it full odds at some point

Oh no! Those poor rookidees!
Wow this makes me wanna pick up my indeedee hunt in shield again ive been doing ballimere lake which has the same spawnrate as glimwood which is 5% but theyre overworld encounters im already at 999 defeated so ill just farm the brilliants when they spawn in until i get it which will take forever but i dont care im crazy
Good luck! It might still be a bit tedious trying to find brilliant indeedee but you got this!
I would at least ko 200, the odds are better and it's not that hard
I think KOing 100 then only KOing brilliants until you hit the 500 is a great way to do it. That way you don’t waste your time with unboosted encounters but you still build towards the max odds

Why not just KO them all til you hit 500? Sure, it takes time. But you're shiny hunting while you're killing anyways.
Because you’re much less likely to get a shiny from the non brilliants so you would be on average, spending a lot more time for the hunt. You’d be better off just not doing the KOs to begin with if you are gonna encounter non brilliants mostly
@@ThedomiNATION but sometimes it takes 8-10 minutes to encounter a brilliant even with a 25+ combo. I can’t understand how this method is more time efficient when you’re actively passing up opportunities for shinies from non-brilliant spawns. Idk lol
@@CSBSkate to be honest, if you have shiny charm already, this method isn’t really worth doing to begin with. I did the tests and on average it was faster to hit odds just encountering everything at the 1/1365 rate than to encounter only brilliants at the 1/455 rate when you have 500 KOs. The spawn rate for brilliants just isn’t high enough they needed to make it at least a 5% spawn rate and not a 3%
@@ThedomiNATION ohh dang ok! That's what I figured. Also, thanks for the replies- for real.
This dude talks so slow
I don’t consider myself a hyper person so I do not talk super fast. CZcams does have an option to speed up the playback speed though!
