Why These Shiny Pokémon are IMPOSSIBLE to Find

  • In this video, I’d like you to join me as we discuss the insanely rare 1/18 million chance a wild Shiny Pokémon in Pokémon Sword and Shield has Star Sparkles. You may be asking, “aren’t star sparkles more common, where square sparkles are rarer?” While you’re technically right, not every kind of Pokémon you find follows these rules, which we discuss in this video. We’ll go over the technical ideas behind how Shiny Pokémon encountered in specific ways, like by overworld encounters, grass encounters, or fishing encounters, have a 1/18 million chance to have star sparkles, and how a concept that you thought you already knew may not be what you thought at all. You may be familiar with other rare shinies, like a Marked Shiny Pokémon, but in terms of the 3D generations, this is one of the rarest shiny Pokémon you can find, which at a 1/18 million chance, may just feel impossible.

      I'm glad they did ditch it though. Another layer of rarity on top of shinies would drive me insane. Marks are the best solution because you can modify their odds seperate to the shiny odds instead of boosting your shiny odds with a chance of faliure beyond not finding the desired shiny.

    missed one that has 15/16 star rate, thats pokemon transferred up from previous generations

    • @JFlash727
      @JFlash727  Před měsícem +19

      I had purposely not included the star/square sparkle rates of Pokemon from other games. If anyone is curious:
      The following Pokémon from past generations are more likely to be square shinies (65521/65536):
      - Fateful encounters (events, Virtual Console (VC) Celebi, etc.)
      - LGPE overworld shinies
      - Virtual Console Gen 1/2 shinies
      - Gen 7 wormhole shiny non-legends
      - Pokémon Go transfers
      Every other past generation shiny Pokémon has a 1/16 chance of being a square shiny in Galar when imported. Additionally, fateful encounters and Pokémon GO transfers have a visual override to always display as a square shiny even in the odd circumstances that they fall in the 15/65536 chances.
      This was sourced directly from Skadiv's Smogon guide, which you can find under resources in the description.

      ​@@JFlash727 While Fateful Encounter Pokemon PIDs do point to Square or Star sparkles (RNG Reporter confirms this), it seems that the Fateful Encounter flag itself overwrites this check and defaults to Square Sparkles.
      This was likely supposed to make event shinies feels special and rare, but we all know how Square Sparkle rarity ended up lol.

    Firstly, congrats, this is amazingly done video! So well edited, informative and resourceful. Square and Stars sparkles have always been an interesting subject to me and I wish this information was more spread
    So, if I understood correctly (and I'm sorry if I didn’t), the game has a completely different approach to determine if those type of encounters are shiny or not, that doesn’t take into consideration the traditional TID/SID/PID formula. What is this approach, exactly? Is it similar to BDSP, where the shiny value for static encounters doesn’t depend on your trainer info at all? Does the same thing happens in ScVi?

    • @JFlash727
      @JFlash727  Před měsícem +3

      That is right, it is a different approach. This approach, however, was in no way further elaborated on by data miners, so all I knew was what I said in the video. Baseline, what we know is there is some system that predetermined a Pokémon to be shiny at whatever shiny chance you may currently be using before the traditional TID/SID/PID formula, and as for why specifically? We have yet to be told.

    Is it bad that I'm now considering hunting one after seeing the 1/6m chance with Shiny Charm and 1/2m with Brilliant Aura? It might seem a little bit more manageable than 1/17m... although, I should maybe finish that second Alolan Sandshrew Square Shiny hunt first before even considering that, hahah.

    I immediately spotted the difference and I'm sure it's explained right away, but I'll take a crack at it. Overworld Random Encounter and Static Encounter shinies are biased towards the Square Particle effect for their shiny. What was shown in the Virizion clip was the Traditional Shiny effect or as the community dubbed it "Star Shiny" which is more common in pokemon transferred into SWSH, Max Raid Encounters or Hatched from eggs.

    wait so if im getting it right, does this mean that theres a greater than 1/4096 chance of shinies? because the game can force a pokemon to be shiny before even doing that calc => calc comes out says no this isnt shiny => predeterminism says yes it is => high chance of a forced shiny? pls correct if i am not getting that

    • @JFlash727
      @JFlash727  Před měsícem +1

      The predetermining system uses whatever shiny chance you may have at the time. So if you have shiny charm, there is a 1/1365 chance a Pokémon is forced shiny, or if you don't have charm, a 1/4096 chance it is forced shiny, etc. Hope this helps!

    • @n7x

The only difference they have from regular strong spawn Pokémon is that they respawn if you leave the vicinity and come back, or enter Pokémon camp and leave, unlike how strong spawn Pokémon you have to wait 24 hours. The Sword Trio, and Spirtomb share this trait, and have the rare chance at being star shiny.

      That Impidimp is a Static Encounter, and works the same as the Regis. Those mushroom encounters have a 1/16 chance at square sparkles, and a 15/16 chance at star sparkles. So to answer your question, no, it is not the really rare star shiny. In the video, when I put up the list of "normally star sparkle" shinies at 1:48, Glimwood Mushrooms are listed.

These trades are unique as they are not Shiny Locked, which is different from the main Galar island, as all gift trades are shiny locked there.
