I once found a shiny Machop at the Alabaster Icelands, and another Machop pulled up right next to me and watched as I caught the shiny. So naturally I couldn't leave it behind and only take its friend. I called 'em "Blue Buddy" and "Green Guy".
That Lucario is so cool! And in the hotsprings too. It looked so sad when it couldn't attack you. I think my best shiny encounter in this game so far is a shiny Alpha Chansey and a shiny Machop right next to it, just hanging out. I was so surprised when I heard the sparkles a second time. Love hunting in this game.
As someone who generally doesn't understand the whole "shiny hunting" thing and just enjoys this channel, it baffles me that a huge subset of people get annoyed when a super repetitive task becomes EASIER.
@@alexspeedwagon3701 I can understand why because the more there are, the less significant they become in the eyes of others. It becomes less of a "holy crap you hit the super rare chance and got a true gem in the wild!" reaction to more of a "nice." Some people do take the elitism too far though, and really at the end of the day it's whatever makes you happy since it's just a video game and that's what they were made for.
The Alpha Lucario is probably the coolest shiny I think I’ll ever see in this game, and I was lucky enough to be there to see it live!! Congrats on all the great shinies!
The luck on the people with the determination and the will to sit out all of those hours hunting those epic looking pokemon and how it shows that it is possible to achieve most anything you set your mind to and the fact that the payoff is cooler than you can imagine sometimes blows my mind
I’m sure you have a ton of ideas for level 100 gauntlets in this game already, but I think leveling off of rare candies bought with points from retrieving bags would be a good one!
Bowser’s Inside Story Music... taste is alive and well This was such a sick map quest! So many wild finds on both sides (but Lucario rly won let’s be real)
I love these races! I also love the concept of a map quest; I've been hunting them map by map. Still haven't gotten that illusive shiny alpha; I'm seriously hoping that I find them soon, but any shiny is a cool shiny ;)
It’s an amazing Pokémon game for anybody to shiny hunt regardless of patience. I’m not very patient but I have 40+ shinies solely caught by me less than 100 hours game time
Alpha shiny Lucario was really cool. I haven’t been able to do a lot of shiny hunting because of classes and work and I didn’t know if i’d ever get a shiny alpha but yesterday I came across shiny alpha shinx while full odds hunting for Ursaring. Probably the best phase ever
Man congrats on the shiny alpha! I’ve yet to find one myself, but one of these days I will. I’m aiming for a shiny alpha spheal because I love walreins shiny
basculin was one of my first pla shinies! I didn't even realise it was shiny because I was just trying to find male basculin to evolve for my dex. it ended up being the only male one I caught that day! now male basculegion is shiny in my dex
I was hunting for a shiny duskull in my shiny-only playthrough to advance the game. Along the way, I found a full-odds shiny Qwilfish, two shiny Drifloons, a shiny Dustox, and a shiny Graveler. I did eventually get my Duskull
Hey Matt! I have a interesting idea for a level 100 gauntlet! Back then in 2010 there was a funny little gadget called the Pokewalker with which you could gain experience points for a pokemon via taking steps. You can only connect it with heart gold and soul silver though. I would love to see such a level 100 gauntlet!
Bro whats the song that starts around 2:10 or so? Its been in my head all morning but I cant find it anywhere. Also congrats on the Alpha Lucario and the rest of the crew!
Absolutely would love to do one of these someday but man all the friends i was playing along with burned out before even finishing the game 😭 This one is being fun so far like the last one!
Might I recommend something like a Lockout Map Quest? The same premise as these but once someone gets a shiny on one map, that map is locked and the other can’t get a shiny from there. This makes it first to 3 wins, but might be less content because theres still only 5 maps
i love this challenge, done it a couple times with friends, but i dont think they'll do it with me anymore since what happened last time... i kinda got a shiny in every area first try no resets, and i got all 5 before he even got one.
Why is the like and dislike button soo close together I accidentally pressed it so I hope it doesn’t dislike because I really liked this video hope you make more
Just now realizing that the cries are of Absol and Arcanine to add an extra effect to know who got the shiny. I just thought someone was swearing and Matt was just using those as a censor. I have the stupid.
Ive been hunting for a shiny hisuain basculin (or any hisuian) for 2 weeks and im on my 6th non hisuain shiny... I AM SO JEALOUS Edit: actully I did get a shiny hisuain avalugg
0:13 I don't now why I love this joke so mush kk! Also Im at 16315 soft resets in my platinum giratina hunt and I dought I'll get Im before 2 times ods so some shiny luck would be apreciated!!! I got my first shiny at about 1000 resets so I gess the game is compensating in the second one :(
I also wanted to tell you that I found an alpha shiny Stantler during the stream at research level 8!! I typed it in chat but I don’t know if you saw it
I remember I saved before I went to a goomy outbreak and found a shiny then it ran I reloaded and went back and found another shiny goomy btw it’s hisuian
when your watching this comeing up on an outbrake and MISTAKE your shiny sparkles for the videos XD never run from an outbrake so fast so i could save and it didnt depawn before in my life XD
I absolutely love that he caught Red's friend Blue too. Exactly what I would do. Grats on that Lucario!
Honestly idk why he caught the blue one like is it special or smthn
@@Hyperdal yes because they were together when he found red
I once found a shiny Machop at the Alabaster Icelands, and another Machop pulled up right next to me and watched as I caught the shiny. So naturally I couldn't leave it behind and only take its friend. I called 'em "Blue Buddy" and "Green Guy".
@@Wupar may blue buddy and green guy have wonderful lives
Chat would've been so upset if I didn't, too!
If i dont get 5 shiny alphas next race im going to SCREAM
That Lucario is so cool! And in the hotsprings too. It looked so sad when it couldn't attack you. I think my best shiny encounter in this game so far is a shiny Alpha Chansey and a shiny Machop right next to it, just hanging out. I was so surprised when I heard the sparkles a second time. Love hunting in this game.
Even if finding shinies is "easier" (relative term) in this game, shiny alphas are so cool I don't think anyone should be bothered by it
As someone who generally doesn't understand the whole "shiny hunting" thing and just enjoys this channel, it baffles me that a huge subset of people get annoyed when a super repetitive task becomes EASIER.
well this comment aged poorly, considering you can get alpha outbreaks now.
@@blipblopperton meh, we'll see
This aged horribly since you cannot soft reset shinies anymore or get Alpha Outbreaks

That alpha shiny lucario is definitely one of the coolest shinies I've seen in the game so far, it's my dream to get a shiny in the bath
it's so cool!!!! I just wanted one hot spring shiny, too, and I got arguably one of the best ones haha
The luck on the people with the determination and the will to sit out all of those hours hunting those epic looking pokemon and how it shows that it is possible to achieve most anything you set your mind to and the fact that the payoff is cooler than you can imagine sometimes blows my mind
that's what got me into it in the first place!
@@AbsolBlogsPokemon Liking the determination 👍
Dude I literally just finished rewatching the first one lol, I love the idea for this challenge
Just wanted to say I love your videos! Makes my day every time you post!
This is just perfect. And youre wearing the Riley fedora!
Man I'm loving the Golden Sun music in the background. Making me super nostalgic
the lost age is one of my top 10 faves!
I absolutely LOVE the Golden Sun music that you included!
Oh my GOD you've used Golden Sun music in the intro!!
You truly are a man of culture!
Congrats on the shinies!
2 content creators I love in the same video! Love these mapquests
Great job Absol and keep up the great work and these shiny races are fun to watch
I was there for the Lucario! That was so crazy to see live, congrats!
with all due respect to dallas, you definitely won it with your first shiny XD lucario stole the show
but his alpha shiny mothim though!
That first find was just insane, congrats man!
I’m sure you have a ton of ideas for level 100 gauntlets in this game already, but I think leveling off of rare candies bought with points from retrieving bags would be a good one!
I plan on starting that in the near future!
Bowser’s Inside Story Music... taste is alive and well
This was such a sick map quest! So many wild finds on both sides (but Lucario rly won let’s be real)
Golden Sun ost in the first seconds of the video. You know it’s gonna be good.
I laughed so hard at RK9S calling Zubat a Zapdos. I felt that.
I’m sure you’ve seen it already but incase you haven’t, the clip of him calling a piloswine a lickitung is pretty amazing
These races are fun to watch! Keep being you!
likewise to you!
I love these races! I also love the concept of a map quest; I've been hunting them map by map. Still haven't gotten that illusive shiny alpha; I'm seriously hoping that I find them soon, but any shiny is a cool shiny ;)
You guys both got such great finds! Everyone's a winner!
not true Matt lost
Huge congrats on the shiny alpha lucario! I wish I had seen it live but the reaction was so good
Nice Absol I love that Alpha Luca alot.
Found your channel recently! Been bingeing your videos while I shiny hunt in Sword & Shield. ^^
I love watching your videos. They are so well done man. Keep it up bro
These races are so cool, this game is such a gem for shiny hunting
It’s an amazing Pokémon game for anybody to shiny hunt regardless of patience. I’m not very patient but I have 40+ shinies solely caught by me less than 100 hours game time
I really love these challenges! Congrats on the shiny alpha Lucario!
Thank you both for saying gosh, and goodness.
If that intro is based off David Attenborough, then that’s the best accent I’ve heard. I almost thought I was watching Blue Planet for a second.
I really do enjoy these races!
Love these! Keep them coming!
Alpha shiny Lucario was really cool. I haven’t been able to do a lot of shiny hunting because of classes and work and I didn’t know if i’d ever get a shiny alpha but yesterday I came across shiny alpha shinx while full odds hunting for Ursaring. Probably the best phase ever
VERY nice find, 2nd best Pokemon and 2nd best shiny in all of Pokemon.
I was NOT expecting that voice from the jump XD
Didn't even realise it was your voice 0-0 crazy intro xD
Loving that sun burnt Paras!
That lucario was so lucky congrats!!
Man congrats on the shiny alpha! I’ve yet to find one myself, but one of these days I will. I’m aiming for a shiny alpha spheal because I love walreins shiny
I'm excited to see Matt's reaction to pokemon scarlet and violet
The reaction will be in the movie that I make for them when they release!!
The Registack in the top right is pretty nifty, it's like the Power Rangers, but with Pokemon!
Lovely voiceover, Matt.
banger as always much love absol
ALPHA LUCARIO IN THE HOT SPRING :0 SO HYPE
basculin was one of my first pla shinies! I didn't even realise it was shiny because I was just trying to find male basculin to evolve for my dex. it ended up being the only male one I caught that day! now male basculegion is shiny in my dex
the lucario is so sick!!! you may have lost the battle, but you won the war with that find dude.
That was absol-ultey insane.
Nice find with the alpha lucario!
Congrats on getting shiny Paris! 🥖
Took me a minute to realize the counter sound effects were the cries of Absol and Arcanine

I started that a couple years ago and put it on hold when SwSh released! I might finish it "post timeskip" soon haha
Congrats on such an awesome shiny I didn’t even know that lucario could spawn there
Yeah it looks like a dead end very easy to miss. You know now tho so happy hunting
hey guys in order to hunt for full odds shiny to we have to reset the game or we can just exit the area ?
I love that reaction to that alpha lucario!
I just got a shiny sparkles in arceus while watching this and i kid you not the sparkles went at the exact same time on the video and on my game!!
I looooooove these races!
The ponyta brings up an interesting question on shiny swapping, would the shiny swap work on weather specific Pokémon?
I loved this!
Glad I was there for the basculin shiny
Bro whats the song that starts around 2:10 or so? Its been in my head all morning but I cant find it anywhere. Also congrats on the Alpha Lucario and the rest of the crew!
Absolutely would love to do one of these someday but man all the friends i was playing along with burned out before even finishing the game 😭 This one is being fun so far like the last one!
will you be doing 3 more?
you didn't mention no complete Pokedex entry, did one of you finish one?
My dex is in a state of half complete, so many of these shinies were 1/2048. Didn't perfect any dex entries aside from Unown, though
@@AbsolBlogsPokemon oh alr thanks

i love these vids!
I caught 2 shinies today, a Hisuan Zoroark from an outbreak and a random Voltorb while hunting a Bonsly outbreak. I couldn't believe my luck!
It's less of your luck and more of the game just basically giving shinies away for free
You could easily get 2-3 shinies in a hour
i love this challenge, done it a couple times with friends, but i dont think they'll do it with me anymore since what happened last time... i kinda got a shiny in every area first try no resets, and i got all 5 before he even got one.
When I was shiny hunting I found a shiny full odds gible
Epic shiny dude !!!
Why is the like and dislike button soo close together I accidentally pressed it so I hope it doesn’t dislike because I really liked this video hope you make more
the shiny luck spreads, i got me a mothim and a toxicroak
I'm going for chimchar in SP and going for an unknown collection in Arceus
I found a random full odds shiny Dustox in arceus today; I got the game yesterday
Just now realizing that the cries are of Absol and Arcanine to add an extra effect to know who got the shiny. I just thought someone was swearing and Matt was just using those as a censor. I have the stupid.
how do you get that hat?
you have to do the Lucario sidequest in the galaxy headquarters. then you can buy it in the clothes shop
@@AbsolBlogsPokemon how do you unlock the quest
Ive been hunting for a shiny hisuain basculin (or any hisuian) for 2 weeks and im on my 6th non hisuain shiny...
I AM SO JEALOUS
Edit: actully I did get a shiny hisuain avalugg
Why not save reset the Basculin MO? Got three doing it that way
0:13 I don't now why I love this joke so mush kk! Also Im at 16315 soft resets in my platinum giratina hunt and I dought I'll get Im before 2 times ods so some shiny luck would be apreciated!!! I got my first shiny at about 1000 resets so I gess the game is compensating in the second one :(
Good luck!! It'll be all the worth it once Giratina shines :)
best of luck!!
Are you gonna shiny hunt in scarlet and violet
yes!
YES WE’RE BACK
If they ever release online battling for this game you should race to get a full team of 6 then battle with them.
I still haven’t seen a shiny outside of the Ponyta quest.
Surprised that you managed to release this when yesterday you released the legends arceus movie
I work fast!
I got a shiny paras 2 days ago
aw, my shiny Basculin is also male. I really want a shiny female though because shiny female Basculegion is probably my favorite new shiny.
Good job
The voice at the start was….. interesting
I'm so curious what the other gender basculegion shiny looks like
Female basculegion normal silver, shiny is gold. Johto remakes confirmed?
Can’t believe he got an alpha shiny Lucario at 20:02 on 02/20/2022
I also wanted to tell you that I found an alpha shiny Stantler during the stream at research level 8!! I typed it in chat but I don’t know if you saw it
wow...im speechless LMAO
7th?
I remember I saved before I went to a goomy outbreak and found a shiny then it ran I reloaded and went back and found another shiny goomy btw it’s hisuian
bowsers inside story music!!!
How do I have 70 hours of this game but not 1 full odds shiny yet you seem to find them every couple of hours?? 😂
Ok… but how?! :'(
when your watching this comeing up on an outbrake and MISTAKE your shiny sparkles for the videos XD never run from an outbrake so fast so i could save and it didnt depawn before in my life XD
