I feel validated cause I refer to anything extremely rare yet ultimately pointless or useless as a “shiny magikarp” because of the fact that if you evolve it it becomes less rare, and if you keep it as is it’s just a pretty trophy that does nothing of note for you.

If I remember correctly Red Gyarados is normal shiny but there was a purple variety of the shiny with the odds being doubled the normal shiny rate. Looks almost like the mega form colors but darker twist that took the feel of its menacing look to the next level
My first ever shiny was a tailow on the route that had the beach with the boat and old guy that goes to Brawly's island (it's been so long i forget what everything was called) That Swellow was on my team when i beat Steven, he wasn't that bad either. Loved that guy
The main difference between the shiny garados in the lake of rage and the shiny haxorus in the nature preserve is that the gyrados can be gotten through story progression while you will have to earn the ability to go to the nature preserve by seeing every Pokemon in the Unova dex, if you want to talk about shinies that lost their value there’s ponyta from legends arceus and any Pokemon that had a community day in Pokemon go (which is funny because axew, magikarp, and ponyta all had one)
No it's cut off for no reason you're right, he could've made it longer than a minute (Though TH-cam is also a mess with the 1+ minute shorts so maybe he actually can't)
I just like certain color variants 🤷 I don't particularly care about their rarity, like, I'll congratulate my friends when they get one, but I just want shinies that I like the colors of
Idk I think the latest two pokemon games kinda ruined shinies… like after beating Violet and Scarlet I was able to get the shiny charm and a few herba mystica sandwiches going and I nearly have a living shiny dex in both games, which only took me two months at the most to complete. It didn’t even take that much playing per day, just did a few sandwiches and raids and would end each day with 4-5 different shinies. More if I used the whole day to hunt
Candy with highly limited distribution times, or extremely high investment requirements. Except for the clones. Frankly, the distribution pamphlets are probably worth more cred.
Hears how to get the validation for the red worm ( to show friends) Take a picture of the shiny Take a picture if the caught date If that doesn’t work Record a video of both
NO! Just no! We're not gonna have a whining session about everyone geting stuff. STOP VALUING STUFF BASED ON THEIR RARITY! One day we all leave this planet and then our collection won't worth anything.
Well unless someone got pokebank before the shutdown theres no way newer player got johto shiny Gyrados in the future games unless someone trade them one.
I shiny hunted riolu, then they give out a shiny lucario mystery gift. I shiny hunted wingull & then again they gave out a shiny peliper! They keep giving out shinies I spend hours hunting!
Shiny pokemon have no value except what you place on them. If you care about the value another places on it, I feel you are shiny hunting wrong. And if you think you get to dictate the value of someone else's shiny, you can leave the community and never return imo.
“Like a real trophy!”
Time to beat my enemies with my participation award…
In Legends Arceus, I actually found an Alpha Shiny Gyarados in one try!
@@WolfmanArt I found a full odds girl shiny alpha garchop
I have an alpha shiny typlosion and and an alpha shiny hippodown
shiny haxorus from the nature preserve my beloved
And now we are getting a free Shiny Rayquaza...
Very unfortunate but still very cool

Any free shiny is a good shiny
That reminds me of something, when I was 8 I defeated the red gardoase because I thought it was a glitch.
@@Jelly_shy_guy_man i am sorry a what 💀
@ that dragon Pokémon, sorry I dont know to spell Pokémon names.
@@Jelly_shy_guy_man No I got that it was Gyarados but still fuck is that lmao
@ yep

Honestly, might be a bit more impressive if you could pull the Lake of Rage Gyarados from GSC into HOME.
If I remember correctly Red Gyarados is normal shiny but there was a purple variety of the shiny with the odds being doubled the normal shiny rate. Looks almost like the mega form colors but darker twist that took the feel of its menacing look to the next level
Literally caught a full odds shiny magikarp the other day, and had the exact same thought process after I evolved it
My first ever shiny was a tailow on the route that had the beach with the boat and old guy that goes to Brawly's island (it's been so long i forget what everything was called)
That Swellow was on my team when i beat Steven, he wasn't that bad either. Loved that guy
Tbh most people wouldn’t consider how much you’d need to trade it up by now
I rather have availability than stupid shiny-locks😭

When I was younger for 9 years I had never saw gyarados mega so I thought shiny gyarados was mega gyarados for 9 years
you are so underrated ❤
Does it feel cut off too early for everyone else or there a problem with my TH-cam
No it's cut off for no reason you're right, he could've made it longer than a minute
(Though TH-cam is also a mess with the 1+ minute shorts so maybe he actually can't)
Yeah I tried uploading the 1+ minute short today and it just wouldn't work sadly
@@TheRogueRenegade yeah TH-cam moment, happens :/
I just like certain color variants 🤷

Got my shiny gyarados from pokemon go and transferred it 🤣

And now it’s gonna happen with Rayquaza of all things
And Shiny Legendary Pokemon are given out like candy.
Candy with highly limited distribution times, or extremely high investment requirements.

I unironically got a real Shiny Ponyta in Legends Arceus in the Obsidian Fields before getting the one from the mission 😭
I find them on accident and hardly get excited except for my shiny gligar/gliscor because he's my favorite
Togepi and Maril? That's Togepi and Pichu thank you very much
There are enough ways to prove where your Gyarados came from now that I'm proud of the sixteen I got from that one event in Sword and Shield
After catching the shiny gyarados at the lake of rage, i ran into a shiny magikarp.
Hears how to get the validation for the red worm ( to show friends)
Take a picture of the shiny
Take a picture if the caught date
If that doesn’t work
Record a video of both
NO! Just no! We're not gonna have a whining session about everyone geting stuff. STOP VALUING STUFF BASED ON THEIR RARITY! One day we all leave this planet and then our collection won't worth anything.
The only non Pokemon image in the background was Aqua lmao
in heart gold, if you do knockout the red gyarados and move on you will see it again.... on Lance's champion team,
I killed it, I killed the shiny gyrados. I used it as a boss battle. Bring it
Not really, because you actually do something to earn them. By chance can be frustrating.
NOOOOO MY RAYQUAZA
Well unless someone got pokebank before the shutdown theres no way newer player got johto shiny Gyrados in the future games unless someone trade them one.
In pokemon home and many new games, you can see where you caught it so you can avoid those allegations with literal receipts
I shiny hunted riolu, then they give out a shiny lucario mystery gift. I shiny hunted wingull & then again they gave out a shiny peliper! They keep giving out shinies I spend hours hunting!
You can’t name gift shinies
I don't have any friends to judge me about my red Gyarados so HA!!
What if regional Gyarados that evolves from Shiny Kantonian Magikarp)
thiers one shiny no one has ever gotten and thats crystal onix
Shiny Ponyta
But is there shiny Gyarados in a lure ball? I doubt that.
At least magikarp can do things unlike aqua
And then there is hacked shinies
🤔 I think people care about shinys too much I don't get it. Like they are cool yes.
I got shiny Alpha gyarados in legends arceus
Yooooo its Aqua from konosuba
But you a-
* Gets cut off *
than you have the shiny that are or a downgrade or don't change or that you can't get because shiny locked
I killed god Pokémon because no Pokémon
And ponyta
Na a blue shiny wood be batter
Shiny sandslash gang
👇
Very demure
Wow

I hope youre joking about the participation trophy comment. Who cares how many people have a pokemon?
I want a “LETS GO WOOPER” game
