  • A mini-documentary (or some semblance of that) telling the history of one of the craziest shinies in Sword and Shield and then my own personal story hunting one down myself!! Also shoutout to Anubis for doing SO much research on the mechanics of this game because of this teacup.

    I feel like as shiny hunters we're all.. a lil insane.. we know they have low odds, especially pokemon with different variants, yet we still seek to obtain one.. the entire time thinking "I cant wait for this to be over" n then when we do get it "its finally over"... but then immediately move onto another shiny or start thinking which to hunt next.. it's a complex yet braindead thing n I love it

    OMG!! The video is finally here! And WOW that was great!! The first part, going over the SWSH odds and how it all played out really felt like how it was to experience back when the game first came out. I remember all the stuff about the game being “broken” and reading the official page back when the game came out and thinking maybe the whole community (myself included) has missed something specific about the Brilliant Pokémon. It felt like a method gimmick-we just didn’t understand it for so long. But anyway, congrats on the shiny iCup!!! It’s a harrowing hunt for sure. (Also, theoretically, if it did have a mark, which mark would you have wanted it to have?)
