I have 70% of the shiny living dex completed and just haven't had time to continue it 😭😭

This is a pretty sick video. I've been playing pokemon for a while and am an avid shiny hunter. I've been shiny hunting since roughy 2016 and pretty much exclusively on gen 6 and 7 games. I usually play pokemon in bursts where I play the game a bunch for a while and then take a long break. It wasn't until this recent stint of me playing where I realized I've accumulated over 100 shiny pokemon and the shiny living dex seems in my grasp. Excluding extra copies I have: 63 shinies on my copy of Pokemon X 13 shinies on my copy of Omega Ruby 43 shinies on my copy of Ultra Moon Making 119 total! Some of my favorite methods are horde hunts, dex nav chaining, chain fishing, and soft resetting. I've got a handful of legendaries. My least favorite method is by far the masuda method as I hate hatching eggs and I had a hunt that went almost 4 times odds (1800 eggs) for a shiny froakie.

I played pokemon emerald for 400+hrs and only caught 1 shiny. A makuhita in the final road to the elite 4.

13:23 Pokémon go 4 back to back shinies Slowpoke, togetic, Galarian slowpoke, noibat

garn 47 iceberg

35:24 lmao im shiny hunting giratina while watching this

what is that game at 4:28?

A eisenberg video, should be great 👍

1:14 Hold it right there! That’s footage of Crystal that’s been grayscaled! You can tell because of Celebi’s animation, and because wild Celebi can only be encountered in Crystal version which was exclusive to the GB Color only!

When I was a kid playing fire red, I found a shiny rhyhorn in the safari zone and i was lucky enough to catch it too… while I regret losing my gameboy with my game in it, I will never forget it as the first shiny Pokémon I have ever seen.

another eisenberg banger video

I was lirerally addicted to the Pokèradar method in diamond and pearl...oh man i caught hundreds.

wow, this is the best zelda iceberg ive seen, i've seen others that didnt cover some of these topics, thank you!

oh man, the audio is only JUST SLIGHTLY more right ear focused, especially on headphones. its messing with my brain

Ooh where is that doc at 35:41 from?

I love learning about shinies 💖💖💖💖

I didn't start shiny hunting seriously until sword and shield. Before that I think I only caught a shiny pidgey in fire red. But nowadays I have almost 40 shiny pokemon across all my games

Cute charm working that way in gen 4 isnt really a glitch. The game is working exactly how they meant it to. They just didn't think about that it could be used to farm shinies apparently.

41:54, funny how Arceus is another easily explainable shiny. In Legends: Arceus when we obtain Arceus, it’s explained that the Arceus you receive isn’t the God Arceus but just a sliver of the power of the true God Arceus. So, it can be explained away that the Arceus that you fight in DPP/BDSP is not the true God Arceus but just a sliver of the true God Arceus and that sliver can have the chance to be shiny

I've never gone so hard with shiny hunting until Scarlet and Violet. But it's only cause they made it easy. I don't mind the old way. But I doubt I'd do it as much back then since I've only attempted it 5 times.

Clicked on this vid the moment i saw it. Also i spent an entire weekend with the flu trying to catch a shiney ladyba in soul silver only to catch a shiney stantler. You're absolutely right i fuckin caught it!

It’s bank still available????

Generation 2 shiny Lizardon has weak special, making Daimonji not hitting hard compared to any normal color Lizardon. The shiny Gyarados would rather be a physical attacker as its STAB moves are weak since Water-type moves are special attacks.

Full credit to my man for getting the raw footage of all these. Dude must’ve been waiting generations

To add to the Battle Revolution costumes, we knew that they existed all the way back when the game launched because images of them were shared in the official strategy guide, however no one knew how to obtain them. It was only last year IIRC that someone figured it out, where you have to get all the way to the colosseum boss under certain conditions, then they would have the standard Gen 4 shiny odds applied to their costume. If you beat them, you’d get their shiny costume to use. If you already beat them in their standard costume, you miss out on the chance to get the shiny entirely. I believe only Groudon and possibly Marill have been found so far (or at least documented)

your videos got me through 11th grade bro. love your content keep it up and please please do as much pokemon content as possible! id love a tcg iceberg video like nescretros blackstar promo video.

Small correction: The Shiny Charm doesn't double your chances for a shiny it adds two additional rolls to the personality value check, effectively tripling it, making it a 3/8192 chance in B2W2 (or ~1/2731) and 3/4096 in Gen VI and beyond (or ~1/1365)

Two corrections on this video: one I think the improved shines are talking about how shinies like cumbuskin were improved in later generations, second the arceus we have isn’t arceus but it’s simply a part of him as told to us in legends arceus so the shiny arceus makes sense, the other mythicals and legendaries I have no clue. For my own shiny stories I had a full odds random shiny grubbin that I used for my whole playthrough in moon but then it and several other of my beloved mons got destroyed in a save data corruption issue, that same issue lead to me shiny hunting ho-oh twice one being lost and the second transferring to scarlet

About Arceus- As of PLA, we now know that the form of Arceus that we are able to catch and battle is a fragment of Arceus's true form. It's an avatar of sorts, so Arceus might just send a shiny form of it's fragment of power for us(the player) to capture. We don't know what Arceus's real form is like, just a deliberately-shaped vessel that carries its name. To add onto this, Arceus as the parent and creator of the creation and lake trios allows for shiny Giratina/Palkia/Dialga as well as Uxie/Mesprit/Azelf to exist without being a paradox. Arceus simply makes a new, independent instance of a Pokemon its created before, as seen by the Sinjoh Ruins event in HG/SS. About Mewtwo- Mew was one of the initial lifeforms that became other species of pokemon. It's the common ancestor of(almost) every single species to ever exist. As it's the single common ancestor, a shiny Mewtwo being cloned from a shiny Mew is most likely, as there were more Mew in the past than the present. Or it's shiny isn't a result of shiny Mew DNA at all amd is merely a mutation, as there were multiple Mewtwos, most of them just failed to thrive. I feel like this is also supported by the fact that the other clones that Mewtwo made of Pokemon such as Charizard do not look like exact copies of the Pokemon they were cloned from, with brand-new markings on their bodies that were likely a mutation, if not intentional. Just my 2 cents lol. Pokemon is notoriously inconsistent with lore and stuff, so of course not all of it will make any sense.

Also in regards to mythical shiny Pokémon, I believe Arceus created clones of himself and other Pokémon for alternate universes. Since these universes are infinite, I wouldn't be surprised if at least some mythical Pokémon are shiny in their own respective universes.

I still have my very first shiny that I caught nearly 14 years ago. It was a male shinx I caught at the valley wind works. I was a kid and couldn't spell very well so I named him GLITTR. He's a Luxury now, and was travelled all the way up to my Brilliant Diamond copy. I also randomly got a full odds shiny snover in the same game I caught GLITTR in as well (though not the same save file). I also got one more shiny Pokémon that was random and full odds, which was a golbat that I stumbled upon in Alpha Sapphire. I have other shiny Pokémon, but I hunted for those ones. My luxray, snover, and golbat were all organically encountered so they feel a bit more special to me.

I have a shiny living dex fully completed excluding the ones that cannot be shiny, obviously.

I have lost two shiny pokemon both gravelers and I think I have tell more than enough about how it happened

Honestly a big part of this video left me sour. A lot of the times you simply just explained the title of what you were pointing out, but never went into detail. The one that irked me the most was when you were talking about the april fools blue gyarados at the lake of rage. At the end, you simply just said that someone who knew the game well enough explained why the event managed to happen, then you moved on. I would've really loved to hear about it. Don't be afraid to delve deeper into a subject, gives more understanding.

I have 9 full odds only one is out of 8k the rest are 4k and three of them are the briefcase challenge from bdsp

great video!

the swalot is actually able to be caught via the roaming lati@s glitch 😭

Great watch again!! :D

What is the song that starts at 7:50? Most of the tracks in this video sound like N64 Zelda-era songs and I love them.

My first ever shiny was a Machop in sapphire. I thought something was wrong with my game because it was a different color, so I turned my gameboy off. I didn’t even know it was shiny and I still have that pain. Made up for it later by encountering back to back shiny wild mudbrays in ultra sun :)

Iceberg ❌ EISENBERG ✅

Has anybody realized that they are saying Unown wrong? I did a few months back. It isn't "Unknown", it's "Unown". That's un-own, not un-known. Does it matter? Probably! They aren't unknown, they are 'unowned'; no one owns them. At least, that what the spelling implies.

Atleast they are attempting to revert the avatars a bit after firing the company involved in making them

This channel is so great, it could watch it for hours

Shinys did exist in gen 1. Gen1 and 2 shinys were tied to the DV. If you catch a Pokemon with the correct DV combo in gen1 and trade it to gen 2 it’ll be shiny. You’re smoking.

In gen 3, roamers are set at specific points before you can even search for them. Theyre sorta "psuedo statics" like that. In RSE its post Elite 4 after interacting with the TV, and in FrLg its after giving the Ruby and Sapphire to the scientist on the Sevii islands-- the one that allows you to trade with RSE

i have a purple cyndaquil on my crystal cart, love him sm took me so long to get

I saw a headcanon once where a person said that the reason shiny Pokémon shine is because they use the sound as an intimidation tactic against predators. But, once a trainer catches it, it is so proud of its different coloring that it keeps making the sound when entering battle.

While it's not exactly a case of shiny Pokemon being *stronger* than non-shinies, in at least one Mystery Dungeon game, shiny Pokemon would have double the Belly stat of non-shinies, giving them an edge when exploring.
