I Spent 100 Hours Shiny Hunting in Pokemon Scarlet

- I decided to spend 100 hours in Pokémon Scarlet doing nothing but Shiny Hunting! This is such a ridiculous project and undertaking and took a total of 11 streams averaging 9 hours each. Hopefully all the work was worth it and you guys enjoy the video!
Clarifications: Getting the Shiny Charm was not included in the time, Herba Mystica and other items were grinded prior to the challenge and not included in the time. This is because I wanted to focus on the shiny hunts themselves and not optimal raid grinding or Pokedex Completion. Finally, since people keep asking, the Beast Balls were gotten from the dupe glitch before it was patched.
Shoutout to all the incredible channels like @AustinJohnPlays @n9kai @BLAINES @Osirus and @sukurutogames for making great shiny hunting content that I referenced for this challenge.

I like the idea that Fir ended up like a shiny version of Ash Ketchum, where there's a bunch of different shinies in his box and then there's like 30 tauros randomly.
Except Fir still managed to catch more shiny pokemon in 100 hours than Ash did normal ones over 25 years. I think Ash's final count was around 80 pokemon which ain't great on the "gotta catch em all" scale.
@@lunarazure9969 To be fair, that catchphrase kinda fell to the wayside around halfway through the series when Satoshi/Ash started focusing on a singular team at a time instead of swapping around (though I still think he was at his best when he would mix and match old and new pokémon).
Haha funny very funny
Yeah, he's the ash Ketchum of this realm hahaha, I wouldn't complain
@@Getsugaru there needed to be an emotional bond for a pokemon to be caught by him lol
Sudowoodo with red "leaves" actually fits so well with the autumn area. Definitely not one of the worse shines.
I have a sudowoodo tattoo and that hurt when he flamed my lil boy like that
@@jackdek4270 its my husbands favorite to!
I caught a full odds shiny Sudowoodo in the autumn area, and also PokéMen7 caught the same shiny in the same area.
I am convinced that Sudowoodo's shiny odds are higher in the Autumn area.
@@timtanoboa9416 That's also where I got my shiny Sudowoodo.
Its not the red leaves that look bad its the barf green body XD
I love hearing “isolated encounter” and remembering Austin john going “that’s what I’m calling it”
Picnics are some of the best things Gamefreak has ever added quality of life wise
I absolutely love shiny hunting in this game, compare to the others in the franchise. It’s a lot easier, but rewards the keen eye for a lot of similar looking ones. My current favorite I have is Dondozo.
@@Boqwy yeah but you don’t get any fun out of it imo, since the noise and the sound gives it away
@@Boqwy “it’s a lot easier” not it’s the easiest, pretty useless comment
PLA is still the best, can't change my mind 😤😤
PLA is probably best, yeah, mostly because you *work* to get those increased odds.
Perfecting the pokedex entry being tied to shiny odds just makes sense from a gameplay perspective.
I just have a shiny staraptor😔
These streams were so chill to join you on, so glad that the video's up to immortalize it!
agreed! i was there for a good 30-40 hours of the hunts and they were so fun
I do feel bad that there's not a lot of fun activities for Post Game(comp battling and janky raids aren't my thing), but with how much easier they made shiny hunting, I guess that's considered "post game" now. And it's actually pretty addicting and fun. Never in my life did I think I would casually want to hunt a shinies till Arceus and ScVi(and this is considering I played and loved every gen before it)!!!
I’m right there with you bud, but hopefully there’s more content like dlc’s and maybe if their feeling nice free dlc
@@POkeMned free dlc 😂 are we thinking of the same Nintendo lmao, would be nice
@@callumthornton473 I mean they could, Legends got the Daybreak update that's kind of a mini DLC. That was free.
This game is the luckiest I’ve ever been for shinies. Not only did I find my first mainline shiny ever, I found THREE other full-odds shinies playing through the game. Puddlejump the Rockruff was on my main team.
I saw Whelkan the Cetoddle in a shadowy place so I had to look REALLY closely for his orange accents. I passed a Raichu in Area Zero that looked a little TOO orange and thought “Wouldn’t it be funny if it were shiny?” (She was. Her name is Sammy) Lastly, I found a Glimmora also in area zero. I felt SO lucky.
literally same for me. My first was a random outbreak I walked by for gyrados (named her red lobster)
The second was a Gargancl I found in area zero (cinnamon)
And lastly a white toedscool running into me (squidward)
Yeah it gets easier and easier to find shinies with each game. Unfortunately I, who have been playing for over 10 years, still haven’t found any shinies, except in Y where I caught some via the fishing method.
Hoping Violet will give me enough luck so that I don’t even need the shiny charm before getting my first shiny, so many people are finding shinies during their playthroughs it can’t be that hard right 😭 I just need to beat Nemona, Cassiopeia and Arven then I can go to Area Zero and finally be in post game. Kind of hoping to find a shiny before post game but my sister didn’t so I probably won’t either lol.
HOW???? Sword: supposed 1/100 adventures odds. Nothing
Sandwiches: absolute pain to gather herbs which I’m already exhausted from gathering and default to ultra moon for the rest of the day, only to have to reset several times to get maybe one shiny I’m not looking for(and this is a good day 😂 and yes, I got the charm) so it’s safe to say I’ll be exclusively sticking to the absolute amazing gen 7 methods until bank is shut down
@@poppyseed799 When you get to Area Zero(if you haven't already) make sure you got a Damp ability pokemon or at least have the mind to save whenever you see a shiny in SV. Me and seemingly many others got our first full-odd shiny in the game to be Garganacl, and that big guy learns Explosion at level 60.
i recommend picking up Arceus, its even better and for your own peace of mind theres even a noise. (and yes its mainline)
Actually jealous of that Eevee luck lol
Same. Was looking for *one* in SP while using both eggs *and* hunting in the mansion with the radar. Got zero after hours of hunting.
For the charcadet afk method, it helps in you use your in game camera to look for the blue eyes. If you set it to fish eye mode, the middle will zoom a little bit more. Made it super easy and I got one in 15 mins.
Is the fish eye mode under the camera or the zoom settings?
@@ZeroFate643 I don’t have my switch on me rn to check, but I’m pretty sure you just press right on the d pad one time while in the camera. The zoom is pretty small tho.
I watched the first few streams on twitch, but i missed a few streams so i decided I would just watch the video for the last bit of the 100 hours, and it was worth the wait. good luck to everyone trying to get one of the dupes!
It's hard to believe how simple shiny hunting has gotten. Back in my day, we only really had the Masuda method. Now, one can easily just stack multiple effects to not only raise your chances of finding a shiny Pokemon, but finding the shiny Pokemon of your choosing en masse!
I think it has to be something between old shiny hunting and this. Old shiny hunting is way to tedious and new way to easy .
@@nabuko4344honestly, I think sword/shield is the perfect balance. Multiple methods for convenience but still reasonable odds
@@esmin2400fs, people don’t talk about how good sword and shield were
Great video, was there for some of the stream. Was a fun ride.
This was incredibly helpful in showing different shiny methods! Thank you!!!!
Finally an answer to “what is fir going to do with all those beast balls he duped?”
I used all nearly all 600
I was wondering how he got so many of them
I kinda miss the hacked raids from swsh that would give 999 of each ball because ~300k each ball in auctions is pain
Ooooooh
Congrats on all your shinies Fir!!!
nice one
this puts in perspective how long the living shiny dex i wanna do is gonna take though with 1000 hours of shiny hunting in swsh ive already felt the pain...
This is one of the videos i genuinely love watching. Fir makes the best content, even if he is a smaller youtuber.
WHAT AHAHA I had this in the background while shiny hunting for a dratini (my fav Pokémon) and around 14:00 when you mentioned Tastugiri and it’s curly form, THE SHINY POPPED UP IN MY LAKE? i caught it! Not a dratini but I’ll take what I can get
14:50 made me laugh so hard that i dont even know why im still laughing.
Love it! More of this kind of stuff please
3:23 Dang, that's crazy! It's a shame that there isn't a similar glitch for Violet.
I've hunted fluttermane a few times and doing it during the day doesnt seem to increase the odds. It is easier to see though but you're not missing out much.
Does it still work
I have class durring your trading time giveaway today unfortunately
This is making me want to buy scarlet and violet even more...
Keep the good work Fir!
So the interesting thing is "100 days" videos usually go off of 100 in game days, so 100 days in Pokemon Scarlet would actually only be 120 hours since the in game days are 72 minutes.
@@Fir thanks for letting me know- that will really help me if ill do a 100 in game days challenge too!
Watching the end of this was great. Cheers for the even number at the end, my first prediction win.
“Actually I don’t think shiny Sudowoodo is that bad-“
*muffled gunshots*
new fir content is always hype c:
Not the Fir video i expected, but as someone who watchs alot of shiny hunting alongside other nintendo content, seeing my smo provider gimme pokemon content makes me happy
I’m convinced all the CZcamsrs I watched steal my shiny odds for their own
Cetitan is my favorite shiny that I've caught so far. Personally I think it's the best looking shiny in the new game. It looks SOOO good.
I have never seen someone so sad for shinies😂😂😂 keep up the good work mate
This was a fun video to watch man! You got a new sub, good luck on your shiny hunts!
~The Entertainer Trainer ✨
You just inspired me to 100 percent shiny hunt scarlet or violet, even though I have never played a Pokemon game before. Thanks :))
Best plug I’ve ever seen
I cracked up when you said "Nooo shiny f****** Altaria!" 🤣
This stream was really cool I enjoyed it
Shinies in mainline games is something that, prior to SV, had only happened ONCE before. Most of my shinies were relegated to Go. In SV, I've been finding shinies at a rampant rate, getting 3 within my casual playthrough.
yep cause you encounter so many more
Knackly baby 😂. That was subtle
i caught over 15 shiny rockruffs trying to get own tempo to find out there's a place lycanroc with encounter power 2+ 😭😭it took me two resets like you did for dusk lycanroc
Thoroughly enjoyed that video thank you
I’ve been waiting for this video. For me, shiny hunting feels too easy in this game but I’m glad others are enjoying it so much.
I think shiny hunting in SV is great because if you put in effort and resources you get results
Fir uploading banger after banger vid. GOAT.
Hey Fir,
I got 2 of the Shiny Pokemon from you yesterday. I‘ll take good care of them, thank you
Fir I feel your pain. I found 5 shiny zweilouses, a houndstone and a sableye before finding my roaring moon.
Yaaaaassssssss been waiting for this!!!! Love ya Fir.
Thats nice start to do shiny living dex
Awesome video to watch! ❤️
Fir catching the shiny Tauros has the same energy as Ash in the safari zone.
Loved the streams and hope we get more of this!
its nice to see lycanroc get some love i think the 7 other lycanroc fans can agree with me
Hearing all the new pokemon names for the older generations is really messing with me but damn the dedication he has to do this
When i got to the Shuny Zorua part it reminded me of like a day or two ago, i was looking for a brelloom fkr the dex, came across a zorua disguised as a pineco, said "Oh i don't have Zorua either" and encountered it.
It was shiny lmao.
I have a weird story about Tatsugiri, I decided to just try my luck with a water sandwich and roam the lake in search of a Dondozo, 6 minutes later I caught a shiny Tatsugiri (curly), 13 minutes in and I got another Tatsugiri (droopy), 15 minutes and I got the last one (Stretchy)
34 minutes passed* and I pretty much gave up on finding a Dondozo, then another shiny Tatsugiri (droopy) spawned and used memento immediately, I didn't care much since I already had one so I just let it happen, there's 26 seconds left on the clock and while I was still on the notification screen a shiny Dondozo emerged from the water, I got the whole squad within 30 minutes on my 1st sandwich, I ran out of luck for the rest of my life
*The lag made the sandwich last a little over 35 minutes
I think some clarification are needed when you said only red Basculin outbreaks can happen: Blue Basculin outbreaks exist (I had one today actually) but they all spawn in "non-area", these are water Pokemon that ends up with outbreak inside a wall, a beach, or a field area, so the game doesn't even bother spawning them
Blue-stripe Basculin outbreaks can spawn Basculin, but they still only ever spawn red-stripe ones. There are also some outbreaks that aren't in good locations, and you just happened to get both in one, but not all are like that. The same goes for any pokemon which has a different box sprite (Oinkalogne, which only spawns male, is the only example I can think of not mentioned in the video though).
Honestly I love how Rockruff and it's evaluations are Classic Sonic, Modern Sonic, and Werehog Sonic
Now this is dedication
I had so much luck with the masuda method in this game.
Tried to get all 3 shiny starters and got Quaxly after 82 eggs, Sprigatito 5 eggs after Quaxly, Fuecoco after 98 eggs and a second shiny Fuecoco after 50 from the rest of the eggs.
AND THAT WITHOUT THE SHINY CHARM!
I guess I can understand how hunting for shiny Veluza can be a pain, but then again, I also somehow caught two full odds ones without the shiny charm
Hey! Sudowoodo is a cool shiny and a beat under trick room! Rock Head is insane!
My first shiny that wasnt in pokemon go was the parrot guy in this game and I just thought it was a different form lol
This grind is insane. Deleting 370 hatched eggs is BRUTAL
love how he had like a bunch of beast balls
THATS WHAT IM SAYING! How is no one talking about this?!?!
And crit captured everyone
Lmao I have a flight on the 17th, tough stuff for me xD
I think the game with all its RNG glory just likes to be content and I won’t complain it’s fun to watch shiny hunts
Comedy comes in threes and apparently also many of unwanted shinies.
Bro just dissed my favorite pokemon in the first 2 minutes. I will never recover.
"Way too many friggen Tauros" - The real reason Ash is getting retired as the main Pokemon protagonist instead of continuing on to the Paldea region.
Imagine a running gag in Paldea where every other pokeball that Ash tries to throw gets intercepted by a wild herd of Tauros running by, like a region wide repeat of his old safari adventure.
Thank you for the Iron Bundle!
YOU GOT A SHINY FROM FIR?
WHAT
OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD
“Pokemon with multiple forms … are currently bugged so that only its default form will spawn in outbreaks … they’ll probably patch this in the future”
Lol, still waiting
While trying to find a 0 Speed IV Pawniard, I found a shiny Kriketune and a shiny Kriketot within 5 minutes of each other, no modifiers.
At this point, fir just go for the shiny living dex.
My shiny luck in this game involves, creating a sandwich, searching for 25 minutes, finding the shiny, and that's it, I have only encountered 2 random shinies, being a Mareep and a Pawmi, and I really want more
Fir has learned the way of the goomy
I'm watching this while shiny Hunting Nihilego in USUM. I'm at 5k Encounters and over 30hours in. Watching this Hopefully will give me the luck I need. My last hunt (dialga) tool 25 hours as well...
shiny charm or no
@@davismullins5823 with shiny charm
His several shiny red basculin brought back my repressed memories of when I tried to chain fish shiny Dratini and found 20 basculin
"who's gonna use a sudowoodo" hi, that would be me as i used my shiny bonsly/sudowoodo on the team to clear all the titans
Did a spit take at the Austin John plays cameo ngl😂
a good thing to know is that lets go mode won't knock out shines
Heck yeah beast ball love!
Poor Fir with his Suddo, try having your first shiny be in a blinding-yet-shady part of Area Zero, and it was a Masquerain lmao...
Fir-“Who’s gonna use a shiny Sudowoodo?”
Me who caught it for my Shining Pearl team
i did to its the best rock type
As I was watching this video in the background I got a shiny dugtrio, I wasn't shining hunting any pokemon at the time but when I saw the dumb blue nose I got so excited.
Her name is now Grundy :)
i love when youtubers referens to other youtubers in there vids
Until watching this video I never knew that Pokemon in let's go mode didn't kill shines! I was always very careful that my Pokemon didn't accidentally kill one
does resetting the game and hatching the eggs again also work?
I'm in the uk and tried to watch the last hour I then fell to sleep on the last 30 mins luckily I watched a bit of it here
I love the repeat ball. I think it looks great
4:33 see thats why you use an electric sandwich, thats how i got a shiny sandy shocks in my first batch of spawns
5:51
"I positioned myself in the dong" that's what I heard 💀
"who puts a shiny in a repeat ball?"
i want you to name for me a pokeball that matches shiny tadbulb better than the repeat ball. it matches perfectly
I will accept this argument
Fast ball
Ah yes, the Austin John cameo
I got about 5 minutes in and was thinking wow, I can’t believe how close Scar/Vio soundtrack sounds so SMG2. then 10 seconds later realized it’s literally galaxy 2 music over the video
Saybull eye is my favourite
I got a shiny 3 mouse maushold from an offline raid and didn’t realize that the 3 mouse variant is the rarer one. I thought that the 4 one was the rarer one, but I guess I just got insanely lucky
Does anything happen to the spawn rates of Pokémon when you play coop? I thought I heard that there is a change but I can’t remember.
Him fainting a shiny phampy hurts.
11:51 I knew I wasn't the only one with bad charcadet luck
More like this PLZ
That's pretty lucky, I got 5 shiny zweilous before my roaring.moon, but what's funny is when I got it I also used the rest of the sandwich and got a goomy lol
Wow!!! That's insane! I wanna do it too.
