About the shiny swap thing (16:43), there is another condition for the new Pokémon to be shiny as well: it needs to have the same shiny odds as the previous shiny Pokémon to be a guaranteed shiny. If, for some reason, the odds of the two species differ, the new Pokémon won't be shiny (unless you have crazy luck).
So if it was a shiny chansey than that would’ve just been lucky right since the chansey rate is different but everything else during this event has same shiny rate
I’m pretty sure during the event all event pokemon have been equalized to the same shiny odds. (As long as they were advertised to be featured in the event)
17:20 Nick is the BEST Pokemon Master in the ENTIRE UNIVERSE! That trick he pulled off is INSANELY CLUTCH, only true Pokemon Masters can come up with a strategy like that
So awesome to see you back and fully immersed in the PoGo life Nick, can genuinely see the excitement and it's infectious! Congrats on a great and succesful event and video for us!
I want to enjoy these events but there’s so much happening at once, deadlines because of the two-hour changes, raid Stress because I’m missing incense spawns. Forgetting eggs. Forgetting research tasks. Extended incense meant I locked myself out of the daily incense all day.
That is what auto catchers and planning ahead of time is for man.. literally most content creators made a breakdown of things you should do to prep for the event, this is a big deal for doing things right. Have a checklist of things to do beforehand, put alarms on.. just be prepared, no reason to overwhelmed unless you are not prepared.
This event seemed a lot more slow paced than usual for events like this. It's all about knowing what's happening all day and planning accordingly. If you don't live in New Zealand/Australia, you have a big advantage as you have some time to see exactly what's happening throughout the entire day.
Most adults do not have 8 hours to play on a Saturday would be nice to have it span into sunday. 4 hours each day would be excellent, first Event ever coming back since 2016 and felt like I missed out
I totally agree that it’s stressful. Research, eggs, tasks, collecting, shiny checking, catching and raids! I only saw about the 7 km eggs on YT after the event was over for me and I’m so disappointed! I guessed it would be half distance for egg hatches so had saved up a whole stack of 10 and 12 km eggs. It’s just too much to keep track of. I did have fun but nine shinies for eight hours?
17:25 That was absolutely insane, congrats Nick!!! Also the Solrock/Lunatone spawns after GoFest was an easter egg cause Solgaleo and Lunala are coming to the game soon!!
I’m glad you had a great day! I had to work during some of GO Fest but still had fun! I got my first Ultra Beasts (Pheromosa and Xurkitree), caught four shinies including a Munna, and caught a hundo Chansey (my second hundo ever!)!
Duuuuude, I had the same Tom magic with shinies he *didn't want* in Germany (Chansey and Rufflet). 🤔 I think this is a new power we need to test with him 😂
I'm glad you had a good wrap up event Nick! It's awesome to see how happy you've been lately along with hanging out with the community and others TH-camrs. My wife and I had a pretty good wrap up event as well! Can't wait for more events.
i stumbled across your channel a week ago and really enjoy the style of video and the content. just wanted to say i started playing pokemon go for the first time in august and ive learned a lot from your videos so far its wild so thank you. much love 💜
You def popped off! Clutch with the Shelmet turning into a Munna. I’m usually to scared to try that. But will definitely do for a future event. Solid summer of events, looking forward to the Season of Light to say the least
Professor Williow comes back from being missing for ages and comes back a totally changed man. * Skips all the dialog* No time professor I'm still busy catching pokemon!!
I prepped, had space, caught well over 1000 Pokémon, caught enough shinies to warrant no complaints yet, the only thing I was hyped about was finally getting a shiny lunatone. I'm not normally the type to complain about what and how many shinies I do and don't get, however I was feeling a bit meh about the entire.day even though over the 3 days catching more shines that both previous global fests and both kanto and johto tours combined.
Was really excited to try and hear the loud offensive preachers that were there the entire time😂 also I was so happy to meet you. Just as cool in person as you are in the videos. Glad I took the trip up to pier 39 and got to show you my proudest Pokémon🤙🏼
We enjoyed all the global Go Fest opportunities. Even though Saturday I was lower on the shiny count than normal, we still had so much fun being out in the community. The only complaint - when you play in an area with 8 pokestops. And they decide to change the possible rewards every two hours. Those of us without a million pokestops can’t benefit from the new rewards. They need to refresh the actual pokestop tasks every two hours so we all,have a fair advantage of the new rewards. I love the idea, but many can’t benefit with limited stops.
I really enjoyed this video. Looks like a lot of fun. Husband and I are both retired and have played almost since the beginning. I’ll be 70 in October and love your channel. 😊
PoGO Fest Finale was insane for me as well!! I got 2 shiny event pikachu, 2 shiny Axew, 2/3 shiny monke, a shiny Karablast, and I farmed the heck out of Pheromosa (my favorite Ultra Beast). This was such a good event, but I wish I had been able to have a full, proper day to enjoy it and had planned for it a bit better. If I had known it was gonna be this good, I would have prepared so much more! GGs Nick, glad you got so many shinies this time!~
I just realised the lunatones and Solrock spawns at the end were intentional if you listened to professer Willow he illudes to it in the research the bit where he wakes up from his nap! Who is guilty of not reading everything he says? 🤭🤚
Now I know where all the shiny went! LOL I only got 10 on the day! Congratulations! Omanyte, Chansey, Klink, Cradily, Electabuzz x2, Smipour, Panpour, Rampados, Unown G. I was missing a few of these so I was pretty excited about the dex entries. I hope they keep this up with GO Fest next year.
"Allright, so we're going to give Nick all the shinies that Tom wanted.. so to make it up to him, lets change te spawns at the end to Lunatone and Solrock for good measures" - Niantic
Hey! Congratulations on all of the shinies. Most of the time I clean up on those for a community day. You hit all the shinies I wanted and I only caught a rampardos that I didn’t have before. See you on the next one
Congrats on your lucky day and reaching level 50. I had a great day as well until I crossed paths with some members of our "community" who were condescending. I play in a state Botanical Garden where I also volunteer as I am retired. Young guys playing asked if we had caught any shinies. I said yes just ahead on the path. He informed me that it won't be shiny if he goes there. I am level 45 but let it go. Later when he was nearby and on his phone, he told his friend he was watching the elderly play pokemon go and laughed. Really put a damper on my day.
Great video! That Munna shiny was epic. Don’t forget to finish the silent schemes Rocket special research before the 1st September to get the field notes.
8:22 Is that even a thing? I have been speaking English for the past 20+ years and I don't remember anyone telling me that English has pronunciation rules. English is one of the 5 languages I know and can speak fluently (English, Hindi, German, French, Punjabi) and English is the only language where different people say the same word differently. I call Munna as Moon-Na since it looks like a moon and an embryo (And in Hindi a kid/baby is sometimes called Munna and that is just my logic). Thanks for the amazing video as always. It was such a mesmerising end to the Go Fest season and way better than last year. Although it cost 3X the price but thanks for enticing me to buy the ticket and enjoy the adventure. It is so amusing to think that I was 2 million XP from level 49 when the Go Fest weekend started in June and at the end of the Go Fest finale, I was under 500k XP from level 50. Although I still need 300k XP I gained 30 million XP during the Go Fest season just from the amazing raids that we have the whole time. Once again thanks for the amazing content!
I tried that trick you did with the shiny Shelmet with a shiny Electabuzz. I found a shiny Electabuzz at 3:59 and waited until the spawns changed over and nothing replaced the Electabuzz. 😞
Had a great day catching shinies and raiding with a group in our local park. Got quite a few I really wanted, lucky traded one of the monkeys. All in all a great day. Glad your day was great too.
Apologies for the drive by call-out from the car I was in by the warf. It was a surprise to meet you from afar. Hope you had a great and safe return home. Henley
Congrats on your lucky day! I had pretty good luck as well, got some fun new shinies like Pansear, Munna, and even the Swirlix with 15 minutes to go. And as a bonus picked up a shiny Lunatone after. It was a great wrap up.
Dude I was just at Pier 39 a week before this on vacation from FL. Watched a guy get pooped on by a seagull on the EXACT bench you guys were chillin near at the start of the video lmao
First three shinies in this video are literally the three shinies I got in the 2 hours I was able to play, just swap the kricketot and the pansage. Pretty good haul for that amount of time.
I also got 22 shiny and I got most of the ones I was looking for, which was really nice. Also got a hundo Pheromosa (2nd raid) and a hundo Zurkitree (first try), so all in all it was a great day. Was a bit sad though to see so few players out. In the past years GO Fests there were several from the community out playing and also lots of other players. Kids walking around playing with friends in groups. This year I didn't see many at all. A few more during the event earlier this summer, but yesterday I met one from the community and saw perhaps three other players. Oh well, maybe more will play in the future.
22:58 "They must love me, like who else cares about lunatone?" got me dying
💀me to
It's the sun & moon hint
i love lunatone and solrock
Tom is so chill with you nabbing all his shinies! Hope he got some too ❤
Now that's a great buddy. 👍
His enthusiasm is lit!
17:26 I actually pogged out loud with no one else around me. That is INSANE.
What a gamer.
Mario kart wii legend
I swear tom is such a BROTHER the hype he gets for your luck is insane. Such a supportive friend.
About the shiny swap thing (16:43), there is another condition for the new Pokémon to be shiny as well: it needs to have the same shiny odds as the previous shiny Pokémon to be a guaranteed shiny.

I’m pretty sure during the event all event pokemon have been equalized to the same shiny odds. (As long as they were advertised to be featured in the event)
20:34 I laughed so hard
Also congrats for all your shinies !!
PLEASEEEEEEE the car horn and your reaction to it at 20:35. Absolute gold.
Right
Tom is the hero and best friend we all need, not the one we deserve. So genuinely excited for every one of your shinies and I love him for it.
17:20 Nick is the BEST Pokemon Master in the ENTIRE UNIVERSE! That trick he pulled off is INSANELY CLUTCH, only true Pokemon Masters can come up with a strategy like that
Wow! What a great video from a great event! 17:26 blew my mind! Bravo! 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾
I love the energy Tom brings to the video, what a legend
That shiny Shelmet to shiny Munna clip was INSANE! You have some balls dude!
So awesome to see you back and fully immersed in the PoGo life Nick, can genuinely see the excitement and it's infectious! Congrats on a great and succesful event and video for us!

Yeah there was definitely A LOT going on. Can get a bit overwhelming for more casual players. I ended up skipping the daily for the same reason.
I totally agree that it’s stressful. Research, eggs, tasks, collecting, shiny checking, catching and raids! I only saw about the 7 km eggs on YT after the event was over for me and I’m so disappointed!

2 months later….
So glad y’all got the whole squad together! ✨
I ran from a shiny Foongus and saw the sparkles for a split second then clicked on it as fast as I could lmao
SAME
Yep, damn thing is nearly identical, and with glaring sun it makes it even harder to see.
Yup, made my brother pull a u-turn so I could get it. It was still there thankfully!
Same lmfao
My brother did the same thing
I’m glad you had a great day! I had to work during some of GO Fest but still had fun! I got my first Ultra Beasts (Pheromosa and Xurkitree), caught four shinies including a Munna, and caught a hundo Chansey (my second hundo ever!)!
Duuuuude, I had the same Tom magic with shinies he *didn't want* in Germany (Chansey and Rufflet). 🤔 I think this is a new power we need to test with him 😂
I’m very salty about not getting a shiny axew, but i guess maybe next time
@@Happonyx probably a future Comm Day poke
@@texaslatina26 its is cooler to have it when its rare
@@queensdaensa9413 I understand that. But I am just hinting that it will probably be a future poke for Comm day like next summer
I love how JT always knows when something awesome is about to happen 😂
I love watching you nick. You mean so much to my experience playing the game. Thank you for delivering great videos !!
That Munna catch was wild! What a cool crew too. Love the chill vibes.
Not only a great vid, but to see everyone hyped for each other’s catches was so amazing. Glad it was a good one!
I'm glad you had a good wrap up event Nick! It's awesome to see how happy you've been lately along with hanging out with the community and others TH-camrs. My wife and I had a pretty good wrap up event as well! Can't wait for more events.
i stumbled across your channel a week ago and really enjoy the style of video and the content. just wanted to say i started playing pokemon go for the first time in august and ive learned a lot from your videos so far its wild so thank you. much love 💜
That munna moment was ACTUALLY insane! Manifested the heck outta that 😄😄
it's awesome that you caught 22! That's exactly how many I caught!! My first was hitmontop as well. Thank you for all you do Nick. much love
Idk if shiny munna was released right at the beginning of that hour, but if so, you are the first person to get shiny munna.
The fast forwarding through the research talk and the huge sigh at the end.... RELATABLE!! 🤣🤣🤣👍👍
Congrats Nick for the shiny haul. Good to see you had a good time.
got two shiny chansey’s in a row during the event… was so crazy !
I barely got any shiny anything yesterday ❤️🩹 even with incense and luring up every stop I passed.
Bruhhhh I went out of my way to hunt for a shiny Chansey after trading my old shiny Chansey to a friend in Finland, didn't find a single one
I played with two accounts and clicked on the same chansey and they were shiny on both accounts. 1/64 shiny though but still pretty insane
Me at 20:35, wishing that a specific group of my friends / family was around me: "See?! NOOOObody likes country music!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You def popped off! Clutch with the Shelmet turning into a Munna. I’m usually to scared to try that. But will definitely do for a future event. Solid summer of events, looking forward to the Season of Light to say the least
Professor Williow comes back from being missing for ages and comes back a totally changed man.
* Skips all the dialog*
No time professor I'm still busy catching pokemon!!
That first shiny Munna catch was friggin crazy dude! Sick trick! I'm gonna be trying to do this lol
7:16 WOW I really wish I had known about the eggs...
Same here! I had no idea and I feel like I missed so many potential shiny I didn't get at all 🤦🏾♂️
Seeing them reunite is always hilarious 😂
I prepped, had space, caught well over 1000 Pokémon, caught enough shinies to warrant no complaints yet, the only thing I was hyped about was finally getting a shiny lunatone.

Don’t forget to finish your rocket research!! ❤️
The BEST Vlog I’ve seen in a while. Congratulations man!
My second catch of the finale go fest was a nundo unknown
I missed this go fest ! But watching u getting this lucky with shines makes me happy too
Was really excited to try and hear the loud offensive preachers that were there the entire time😂 also I was so happy to meet you. Just as cool in person as you are in the videos. Glad I took the trip up to pier 39 and got to show you my proudest Pokémon🤙🏼
Dude your a pokemon go magician!!!!
That Shelmet to Munna switch was off the hook!
“Got something to share with the class nick” i fuggin love tom bro hes awesome😭😭😭
I'm newbie and i have a question: what happen in 17:28 and how i can do that? I see pokemon before and after 17:28 are different
THAT was the best Professor Willow reading you've ever done! Nice!
Great to see you having a wonderful time! Nice haul on those shiny checks!
this channel got me back into Pokemon Go, and got me to exercise more therefore, so thank you!
Congrats for one million subscriber!!!
We enjoyed all the global Go Fest opportunities. Even though Saturday I was lower on the shiny count than normal, we still had so much fun being out in the community.

I love the idea, but many can’t benefit with limited stops.
Thats insaneeeeee. Craziest thing I’ve seen in GO, ever. Epic experiment and it paid off!!
I was on the porch right behind you when you found the shiny Munna haha, it was nice getting to meet you!
I really enjoyed this video. Looks like a lot of fun. Husband and I are both retired and have played almost since the beginning. I’ll be 70 in October and love your channel. 😊
Trainer Tips was Popping off for real, Congrats dude
Man I felt lucky getting 6 shinies total the whole day. Entire Go Fest weekend first time around I got a total of 2 Burmy.
PoGO Fest Finale was insane for me as well!! I got 2 shiny event pikachu, 2 shiny Axew, 2/3 shiny monke, a shiny Karablast, and I farmed the heck out of Pheromosa (my favorite Ultra Beast). This was such a good event, but I wish I had been able to have a full, proper day to enjoy it and had planned for it a bit better.

GGs Nick, glad you got so many shinies this time!~
Yoo!! Loved the vid. Me and my Friend got to meet you too!! Keep up the good content!!
that shelmet/munna moment LITERALLY made me grab my face in excitement for u!! couldnt believe it, crazy amazin vid again thank u nick
I’m surprised no one recognizes them in public especially during the event
I just realised the lunatones and Solrock spawns at the end were intentional if you listened to professer Willow he illudes to it in the research the bit where he wakes up from his nap! Who is guilty of not reading everything he says? 🤭🤚
Now I know where all the shiny went! LOL I only got 10 on the day! Congratulations!
Omanyte, Chansey, Klink, Cradily, Electabuzz x2, Smipour, Panpour, Rampados, Unown G. I was missing a few of these so I was pretty excited about the dex entries. I hope they keep this up with GO Fest next year.

the munna pronunciation😂😂 thank you, I completely agree and everyone loves to tell me I'm wrong
Hey, it was super cool meeting you yesterday and the video was sick!
Hey! Congratulations on all of the shinies. Most of the time I clean up on those for a community day. You hit all the shinies I wanted and I only caught a rampardos that I didn’t have before.
See you on the next one

Love your channel, been watching since the very beginning i wish the best for you.
Getting the chance to go to Seattle for gofest really did make this summer a memorable one!
Was the A radiant reunion free
Congratulations on 1 million, I love your vids
8:22 Is that even a thing? I have been speaking English for the past 20+ years and I don't remember anyone telling me that English has pronunciation rules.

I love how the instant reaction to the car honking is to scream
2:55 i just started watching and laughing my but off 😂😂😂😂
I tried that trick you did with the shiny Shelmet with a shiny Electabuzz. I found a shiny Electabuzz at 3:59 and waited until the spawns changed over and nothing replaced the Electabuzz. 😞
I low key like the red, purple, and green color red tasks for each UB. Was just nice to see something other than the orange tasks
Nick: Please talk to Tom about catching those Legendary Birds in the Daily Incense!!!
20:29 best part of the vid imo
Had a great day catching shinies and raiding with a group in our local park. Got quite a few I really wanted, lucky traded one of the monkeys. All in all a great day. Glad your day was great too.
Awesome video I really like it lot it was cool and you made awesome video and you are best TH-cam channels
I caught two shiny pikachus fairly close to eachother. Up until go fest 2022 I had not gotten a shiny pikachu at all.
Apologies for the drive by call-out from the car I was in by the warf. It was a surprise to meet you from afar. Hope you had a great and safe return home. Henley
17:38 My friend got the shelmetal, didn't want it, did the thing and also got manna.
20:34 dude the face and the perfectly cut scream
Congrats on your lucky day! I had pretty good luck as well, got some fun new shinies like Pansear, Munna, and even the Swirlix with 15 minutes to go. And as a bonus picked up a shiny Lunatone after. It was a great wrap up.
"Who else cares about Lunatone, why is it here?!" 🤣🤣🤣
6:56 the shiny hitmonchan in the background looks nice
Legit I was Tom in this last event!! The start was painful for me, 1 shiny in 3 hours!! Looks like an awesome shiny day for ya.
Dude I was just at Pier 39 a week before this on vacation from FL. Watched a guy get pooped on by a seagull on the EXACT bench you guys were chillin near at the start of the video lmao
A CAS hangout caught a shiny at 10:03 too. It was a shiny woobat
And also, I caught 3 of those shiny event pikachu.
10:03 is the time, not time lapse
Awww you were in the city! Would have been fun to go in. Nice shinnies!
First three shinies in this video are literally the three shinies I got in the 2 hours I was able to play, just swap the kricketot and the pansage. Pretty good haul for that amount of time.
Yooo that shiny munna clip was awesome!
That was an awesome video I felt the vibe while watching the video. Awesome!
I also got 22 shiny and I got most of the ones I was looking for, which was really nice. Also got a hundo Pheromosa (2nd raid) and a hundo Zurkitree (first try), so all in all it was a great day.
Was a bit sad though to see so few players out. In the past years GO Fests there were several from the community out playing and also lots of other players. Kids walking around playing with friends in groups.
This year I didn't see many at all. A few more during the event earlier this summer, but yesterday I met one from the community and saw perhaps three other players.
Oh well, maybe more will play in the future.
You told everyone to remind you about the giovanni research in this video, here I am! DO IT NICK
PSA FROM PAST NICK: Don't forget to finish your rocket research!!!
Hi, I saw a square pokestop logo in your Pokémon Go in-game screen, just top of the daily incense, what is it?
Only got 4 casually playing. I was happy & I’m happy for you Nick
