    For the lazy alpha method, it's gonna help A LOT if you perfect the research task for the Pokemon you are hunting, because the odds increase to 1 in 585. It takes around 1 hour to perfect, but it's gonna save you TONS of hours of soft resetting.

      does the “lazy alpha” method also work with non alpha pokemons? like if i were to go to a spot where a shinx always spawns and just soft reset until its shiny, would that work?

      Absolutely true. Similar to the dead battery in Emerald. Spend some time to replace it and you'll save tons of hours. Even if the dead battery message only last 5 seconds, if you're shiny hunting and if it takes... 10,000 encounters, that's 50,000 seconds, which is equates to 14.33 hours. Spend some time increasing your odds will save time.

    I don't even have the shiny charm but I still get one or two shinies every few massive mass outbreaks. One time I tried hunting a specific pokemon (Glameow and for a short while Ralts/Kirlia) and it took aaages. I got Gardevoir after a couple days but Glameow took way longer. It was super satisfying to finally get something out of a dedicated shiny hunt.

    The berries being worth it is dependent on which method you do. If you're going for a specific shiny, obviously the berries are helpful. If you're just flying around and checking them all, the berries aren't helpful. I find that if you're flying around just to check them, it's easier without the berries because as you fly through and check them, they show on your map which ones you have been to.

    You can also just save in town if you got multiple (massive) mass outbreaks to check.
    The only downside to this is that if you see a random shiny you have to choose to catch it or let it go. Cause only the outbreaks are static before you enter the map.

      Abandoning shinies isn’t that hard for me when one is objectively better than the other. I even skipped a few shinies cause their shinies suck and I don’t want them staining my Pokédex.

    Ive just booted this game up after a year cause i never did the post game stuff and i also did the dex as well. And shiny hunting has never been so fun and easy. This is so much better than hatching eggs or other methods. And i forgot how addictive it is in this game too. Im a bit of a madman too. If theres multiple massive mass outbreaks, I'll save at the gate, go to each area, and whichever area has the most shinys thats the spot I'll choose before i save in front of Mei. Im almost tempted to catch every single shiny pokemon...but idk lol

    What I did for shiny hunting is I search for massive mass outbreaks that have the specific pokemon I want, for example I did a hunt for Zorua so I would look for places that can have a mass outbreak of Zorua such as the Obsidian Fieldlands and the Alabaster Icelands. Once I find an outbreak at a specific location, I go to that location and I give 5 berries to munchlax to check if there is an outbreak for that specific pokemon. If there is no outbreak for that pokemon, then I soft reset and go back to jubilife village in search for another mass outbreak and I just rinse and repeat until I get a shiny 😊 I like to call it the Target Outbreak Method

    There is 1 more shiny hunting method- called ghost permutation, which mostly apply for pkm that you cannot drag them into multi battle, I even sometime have to combine Austin method and ghost permutation to get the alpha shiny because I am working on Alpha shiny living dex, and as far as I remember the longest permutation I have to perform to get an alpha shiny is 96, which came from a MMO of 10 tentacool (94 from standard and 2 plus by combine Austin method+ ghost permutation), and the longest reset I ever did for not find a shiny is nearly 100, which belongs to shiny alpha basculin hunting and alpha shiny buizel

    @gabriellaseeley7742 ปีที่แล้ว

    How are usually look for shiny myself is I save at jubilive Village then talk to the person at the gates. I check them out to see if there's any question marks if there are I usually explore each one depending on which Pokemon have spawned I've used this to complete the Pokedex and to get a perfect Pokedex. If the massive Mass outbreak does not have the Pokemon that I want or need for the Pokedex I reset and then check the next location and if I'm lucky find shiny. Usually it's the luck of the draw. Thank you for reading this far if you did

    8:49 You can get through an entire massive mass outbreak like without resetting at all, if you battle them instead of catching in the overworld. The outbreak timer only ticks while you're outside of things like battles or menu screens.
    Makes it even slower, sure, but it's good for people like me who want to search every 'mon in one go lol

      @mario_fez ปีที่แล้ว

      @@JodiGeo Yes, I'm aware. But altering the outcome is only really important if you're doing RNG manipulation like with the last method in the video.
      For the part of the video I commented on? Even if you inadvertently change the second wave spawns, the odds are still the same as if you went through just catching them and resetting. The odds that you changed them FROM having a shiny, are the same as the odds that you changed something TO having a shiny.
      You have the same exposure and amount of rolls as what was done in that part of the video, but you also get the satisfaction of clearing the entire outbreak map in one go, without resetting.

    "The Thumbus method" actually gave me a shiny, i went to a Grotle outbreak that did not have a star, got a second horde and a shiny Torterra appeared. It gets even better: i got 3 different massive mass outbreaks at the same time and i had already checked another whole outbreak with zero shinies on it before going to the one where i found the shiny.
    I think if you are just trying to get a shiny of whatever, this is the best method, as a massive mass outbreak will have more than 100 pokemon to check if they are shiny or not. Austin's alpha manipulation method may be the best if you want a specific shiny.

    Would the space time distortions count as a method? Im hunting fossils (just need 1 more alpha shieldon) and caught a shiny Shieldon in the prossess. Good to do while ur doing something else but u do need to keep a timer ready and check before the spawn checks kick in just in case weather is bad. Great video
