I got a marked jumpluff shiny in area zero

Majikarp jump is also the only instance where u are forced to release a shiny

One of the first ever shinies I saw and recognized was a shiny starly in Pokemon Diamond.... it was uncatchable, but not because it was the first starly fight. No, I encountered it WHILE WALKING TO GET POKEBALLS IN THE FIRST TOWN. 😅 Ever since then I've been oh so salty about that one specific starting patch of grass.

Also, the magikarp you yourself use in Magikarp Jump can also be shiny

My first ever shiny was an uncatchable Dusclops in the Battle Pike

Also love the Pokemon brick bronze music

Golden poochyena😭

7:35 dont worry i accidentally killed a shiny blissey once🙁

*Goes into explaining that Shadow Pokemon are shiny-locked in their first encounter,* 4:04 *Shows Gonzap's Skarmory being shiny at Relgam Tower, the first place you battle him*

So, little fun fact for you here, I'm pretty sure that Metagross is a static encounter. Due to static encounters using true random in SWSH, static encounters are actually NOT affected by the shiny charm (which is why mons like the regis are all full-odds hunts in that game). What that means is that your Metagross was not just a first encounter shiny, but actually a FULL-ODDS first encounter shiny... with a mark!

If i ever get an uncatchable shiny, im just gonna hack it in. i am not giving up a shiny just cause i have no balls

you did specifically fail to mention the few instances in which a pokemon game allows you to encounter wild pokemon before getting poke balls. i know you mention at the end the concept of not having poke balls, but when its literally out of your control whether or not you have them, as opposed to simply not having any, similarly to some of the wild encounters from the battle pyke in emerald, id say theyre worth mentioning. additionally, the glorious coding of scarlet and violet have a few instances of pokemon spawning inside walls. you can manipulate the camera and see them, and they can still be shiny, but you have no way to encounter them since the walls are in the way, thus uncatchable shoutouts to gen 2 for being the gen that introduced shinies while also having the longest segment between owning your first pokemon and actually gaining access to balls. 2 full routes with a ton of unavoidable grass was just asking to be cruel to the few unlucky souls thats had this happen to them my list isnt conclusive, but i have a strong faith that these are the games in which you can access wild encounters before getting balls gold/silver/crystal ruby/sapphire/emerald firered/leafgreen diamond/pearl/platinum heartgold/soulsilver omega ruby/alpha sapphire brilliant diamond/shining pearl i have no idea if sword and shield had this, to be honest i only played those games once and im too lazy to do my own research. im also not super confident about oras, but i wanna say you still have to battle the rival before getting access to poke balls.

I still find it hilarious that SwSh introduced the whole square/star sparkle difference only to never use it again. 10/10 troll GameFreak!

You forgot the classic uncatchable shiny. You can't catch it because it's already dead. You weren't paying enough attention. Oops.

I almost forgot a shiny starly in pla! It ran off :(

I once found a Shiny Pokemon in Pokémon Violet, it was a green Pelipper, but it was flying so I couldn't catch it and I was so disappointed 😂

That gen 2 shiny hoothoot sprite at 1:27 was a jump scare, since I experienced that uncatchable shiny myself less then a month ago. Why did they make the trek to Mr. Pokémon’s house so long? 😭

At the end you forgot in Gen 2 when your active box is filled up, you can't catch pokemon, so even if you hacked in 999 Master Ball, you still wouldn't be able to catch a shiny you'd encounter.

@AbsolBlogsPokemon has caught the Shiny Starly in BDSP so you can take that one off the list (it technically stays on the list if you count the fact you have to be in version 1 and have to use glitches to catch it)

Ahh yes the shiny poochyena, I'm one of those players who encountered it under those circumstances. This was over 10 years ago and it still haunts me, as I have never seen a full odds shiny ever since.

There’s also cafe remix.

I'm kind of surprised GF hasn't removed shiny pokemon altogether considering how they love to just remove gimmicks for no reason and their trend of just shiny locking pokemon since gen 5.

I wonder if the Weedle in RBY has the potential chance of being Shiny, if it could be transfered to another game.

my first and only shiny encounter I've ever had run into before gen 6 was in Fire Red. I grabbed Oaks parcel from the PokeMart, ran down to pallet town, and on the last row of grass, i ran into a Rattata. IT WAS SHINY AND I WAS A SCRIPTED EVENT AWAY FROM GETTING POKEBALLS :'(

Love the video. The uncatchable shinies I've gotten were the beginning zigzagoon and a shiny vileplume on the battle frontier, both on emerald. One thing, the colosseum shiny ISN't Uncachable. Since the PID of the pokemon gets locked in the first time you see it, but your opponent gets a new TID/SID in the second battle according to RNG seeds, there's six options 1: First battle, not shiny for opponent, not shiny for you (most common) 2: First battle, not shiny for opponent, shiny for you (1/8192 chance for your TIS/SID) 3: Second battle, not shiny for opponent, not shiny for you (most common) 4: Second battle, not shiny for opponent, shiny for you (1/8192 chance for your TID/SID. if you had caught it in the first battle it'd have been shiny as well) 5: Second battle, shiny for opponent, not shiny for you (1/8192 chance for your opponent's new TID/SID, but you were locked out of a shiny) 6: Second battle, shiny for opponent, shiny for you. (1/8192 chance for both your and your opponent's TID/SID, since both of you need to shiny check that's a 1/8192 * 1/8192 = 1/67108864 chance) TL:DR It is possible, but the chance is ONE in 67,108,864 AND the chance is locked since the first time you see the pokemon, so it'll always be shiny for you regardless if this happens. The extra luck comes from it being shiny for your opponent as well.

2:47 no way! Bow down PM7 there’s a new fastest shiny hunter in town

I saw a shiny shinx in a legends arceus cutscene but when the cutscene was over the shinx was gone :(

The Shiny Starly in BDSP is actually catchable. On version 1.0.0 you can use Barry to boundary break and get pokeballs early

I had that Poochyena appear on me.

I once found a shiny Raticate on a battle CD in XD Gale of Darkness! And the Bunnelby at the beginning of X and Y!

This reminds me of my second shiny ever, when I was playing through gen2, when I just got my starter and went to the tall grass the literal FIRST encounter was a shiny sentret

Idk if anyone has said this but I am pretty sure in Pokémon Black and White, during the Musical game in Nimbasa City, the NPC’s pokémon can show up as shiny! Your opponents in Pokestar studios, in B2W2, ALSO have shiny variants (even opponents that aren’t pokémon!)

imagine finding a shiny in the spaceworld gold demo not only is it the ultimate uncatchble since you don't even have the game, nobody would believe you it even exists it technically happened to me when we were first doccumenting them

you can technically find 2-3 shiny starters at the same time in HG/SS since you can view all 3 at once. if you're lucky enough to find 2 shiny starters at the same time, one of them would be considered an uncatchable shiny

I swear to god, literally my first encounter on my brilliant diamond was a shiny bidoof. I was...speechless

Appreciate the magikarp jump representation throughout the video

If anyone is watching this in 2024 or after, im so sorry you've decided to watch this horrid old video LOL

In case anyone was curious, the odds of both Norman’s Zigzagoon and Wally’s Ralts being shiny at the same time are *one in 67,108,864.*

No lie, i got 2 back to back. And then i woke up :(

YESSS MAGIKARP JUMP MENTION LETS GOOO

That’s pretty cool! It’s sad that it’s uncatchable though.

I knew all of these… oh God I have brainrot…

4:20 You have colosseum wrong. Shadow pokemon CAN be shiny for the player as well on rematches. The way shadow pokemon are generated is it looks at the opposing trainer's ID and makes sure a shiny will never generate for that ID. However, the game never updates this ID on rematch battles, hence why the pokemon can now be shiny for the opposing trainer AND for the player. This is also why you can even catch a shiny shadow pokemon- the game only makes sure a shiny can never generate for the first trainer ID, that being the trainer you are fighting. And when you catch a shadow pokemon, it applies your trainer ID to the pokemon, which is why it re-rolls the shininess and stats depending on the updated ID.

I mean, there is also that SMALL part of Gen 2 where you have your starter but no pokeballs. And are free to go into the wild grass. Same goes for any entry in the series that has this.

I remember being a young kid playing Platinum and seeing a trainer in one of the facilities send out a shiny Cacnea. I had no idea it was random chance. I just assumed some trainers had predetermined shiny Pokémon on their team, like the Espeon on R/S/E.

Hardest part of this video I guess is what exactly a predetermined shiny and why does the game predetermine shinies

That one damn tentacool from one of my fire red playthroughs

Jesus christ, your over reactions are extreme cringe

I actually found two shinies in a single Dynamax Adventure, being a Luxray and a Yveltal. This was also on my Normal Type Nuzlocke run of shield so I couldn't even use the Yveltal (It's just sitting in the box currently)
