Ive been doing this for years now. Aside from community day, the only shinies ive found are sableye doing the ghost event in 2017 and a poliwag a few weeks during the water festival. I play everyday.
Nima T definitely not true. I spend $150 plus a month on Pokemon go and play an average of 3 hours per day. Im lucky if I encounter 1 shiny each month not including community days. I know one person who is mostly a free player and spends about 3 hours a week on Pokemon go. He is almost guaranteed to encounter at least 1 shiny per week. The game is broken.
Hey!. Some days I absolutely grind at a mall I go too. 5 gyms and about 5 poke stops I check in it. I play about 4-7 hours a day depending on if I wanna really go. I’ve grinded 1 1/2 days during this event- that means catch them all and have new spawns. I have 3 swings to show for it, Wailmer, Rattata & Carvanha. I average 1-2 shiny son my hunts. Sometimes I do get blanked. It’s just how hard you grind I guess idk. Anyways peace!
@@azn4114 I see the same thing with my kids who play less than me, same thing with friends and their kids as well. There's little to no doubt in my mind that semi-inactive/inactive players get rewarded for returning to the game.
Maybe. but it's like 2/100 for player A and 0/800 for player B (me). This is how a guy in the neighborhood finds 10-25 shiny a week and I find 0 in a week. (About the same playtime and check.) The RNG's distribution is broken. They know it since 2016 but willing not to fix it.
I bought the whole team aqua set for luck before the event haven’t gotten any shinys from this event apart from the shiny sudowoodo pre evolution hatched from an egg. So can’t complain : p ohh and a random shiny eevie
For two days, I got 2 different shiny pokemons. The first day I spent my money bought a Mew pants , I found a shiny Misdeavour pokemon. The next day, i spent a few money to buy Mew shoes. After a few walk in the park, I found a shiny Natu. Overall. This theory is kinda true.
Nick: I can increase avatar item sales 20% Niantic: Won't that be super hard and probably misleading? Nick: No, it'll be super easy, barely an inconvenience
I’ve thought this to be the case for at least six months now. I spend significantly more on the game than anyone I know and I get significantly more shinies than anyone I know. Also I’ve started two other accounts, and only happen to get a shiny within two weeks after I purchase raid passes, incubators, etc. maybe I’m crazy but it seems too convenient
This is facts, I noticed my friend who always spends money catches a TON OF SHINIES, where as I spend no money and have hardly any so I tried it before watching this video and have noticeably increased shinies after buying random stuff here and there I now have 10 shinies and play ALOT
When I first heard this, I eventually "tested" it out because I wanted to disprove it. I saw the zubat backpack, I wanted the zubat backpack, I got the zubat backpack, keeping in mind that this myth exists. Sadly, (but not really) that month I encountered 15 non-comday shinies. One almost every other day, sometimes 2 a day if there were days in between, in raids, wild, full odds, etc. The ONLY time I've had that luck is when I got that damn backpack in the middle of November through the middle of December.
I'll use this as an excuse to get that gengar backpack I've been eyeing for a while. Update: didn't get anything the first 2 hours I played. The next day I played for about an hour and nothing. This morning I Go Plus my first shiny magikarp. Very happy with it.
Well if you think about it?!? You get coins by defending gyms you can use those coins to by items get shinys and still technically it’s free to play!?! THOUGHTS
Christopher George actually tried it out myself yesterday an I had no shiny luck as usual but it was good click beat an PoGo just made a couple million so hopefully they reinvest an make the game better! Ha 👍🏼😂🤷🏻♂️
Seeing as I’d had an unsuccessful event so far, I got some new sunglasses for my avatar. Within the next half dozen shiny checks I got my first shiny Krabby. Not even joking 🤨
LOL, this trick does work!! I bought Meltan earrings and 5 minutes later I got shiny Heatran, then another 2 minutes and a shiny Seviper, then a couple more minutes and shiny Sableye, in half an hour another shiny Heatmor!! :)
If you fight in lots of gyms, you get lots of pokecoins when your pokemon gets kicked out! With the whole situation rn though it’s kind of hard... I believe in you😊
@@anyaburke6636 even if u miss 1 single Pokémon on even an event if u skip 1 single pokemon, u could miss ur chance of a shiny and have to wait another 450 Pokémon to get another it seems u kept doing so unfortunately so u missed out on ur shinies.
I legit have been buying more raid passes and haven’t gotten any luck in raids but today alone I got 4 shinies and the last 3 days total I’ve gotten 2 other shinies from each day
Tells viewers: "Please don't take this as evidence. This must just be a coincidence that many people are experiencing. *signs off and deposits his cheque from Niantic*
Seems like an overwhelming positive response from people with the same experience.. but has anyone bought items and NOT got shinies? That's the info I'd like to see to confirm/disconfirm
I know! Me and my friends play together on the community days always, they always get like 6 shinies in the time that it lasts, and I get literally nothing. My only shiny was an ekans traded to me probably out of pity. 😖
Omg I’m freaking out, this was literally the last video I watched on YT, I went out to go play a bit and I found a shiny Koffing on my first encounter 😱
First, a couple notes: - I AM NOT EVEN JOKING WHEN SAYING THIS (You don't have to believe me, but I swear on my POKEMON GO ACCOUNT that I am not lying) - For whatever it's worth, I'm posting this in 2020 Story 1: I remember one time I did a Ho-Oh raid with my family and as we were fighting it, I'm assuming people were like "Oh, what if one of us got a shiny?" Obviously, I was oblivious to this and didn't think I would. Lo and behold, when I went to catch the Ho-Oh, it was shiny. I think that was my first shiny ever, and it was a completely unexpected legendary. (I also believe it was the first raid we did if the day) (And I caught it) Story 2: I think it was during one of the Groudon/Kyogre events. (I also believe this was the first GROUDON raid of the day) But, I was doing a Groudon raid with my family, and when I went to catch it, it was shiny. (This was not a new thing with me; my whole family was like "Oh, watch, DragonLynx is gonna get a shiny!") Obviously we didn't know for sure, but I did. (Caught it) Story 3: Same with an Entei event, I believe. I don't think it was first raid, but I ended up getting 2 shiny Enteis in one day (I don't think we even ended up doing a lot). Story 3: Moltres event. Ended up getting 3-4 shiny Moltres. One day. Last story (Pretty recent): Gastly Comm. day. First. Gastly. That I clicked. Of the day. Was. Shiny. Not even joking. Also, almost every community day, I get at least a couple shinies, if not first one out of my family. Basically what I'm saying is, my family believes I am a shiny magnet. I don't know what is with me, but this is 100% true. (PS. I wasn't trying to brag - really. I was just sharing my stories. And thank you for reading this :))
I would like to curiously point out that I re-downloaded pokemon go about a month ago since its release date years ago, and I hadn't ever spotted a shiny in pokemon go yet up to that point. Okay so I recently got back into it and bought some items each day of the water event. And I did catch a super random (for a water event) Shiny Torchic. That was my first, okay so a day or two later I get the shiny Carvana too. (Pretty peculiar) 🤔
What's funny is I USED to feel that buying things gave me more shinys, but I think that I was just still at the beginning of playing the game so the algorithm that gives more rewards to newer players was in my favor still.
I really would love if you open the mail, I miss those videos, and I love to see all the fantastic things that fans sometimes do, some are really amazing pieces of art.
Happy 1 year anniversary for this video. I still follow the advice of the parkinglott shiny hunter, Ken. I feel my shiny odds are slightly increased for a short time after I buy a clothing item. Seems to be working for me as I am a consistent shiny finder. Thanks for your vids Nick.
I do think there is a way to get extremely increased odds of finding a shiny. If you stop playing the game all together for a few months, when you come back, it seems to be that you get a shiny of the first thing you tap
Rng can be manipulated in some games. Like if the random numbers are calculated using the time or coordinates as a seed, then technically there could be a pattern to the "randomness"
Honestly, whenever I re-up on Pokecoins I always find more shinies that day! Again just a superstition of mine, just like being 7th in a raid lobby or clicking a mon immediately as it appears on the map... To each their own!

I found shiny magikarp and i didn’t have any pokeball or coins, after 20 minutes when i ran back with 2 pokeballs from pokestop i was lucky because it was there and now i have shiny magikarp Its the rarest shiny😍
Last night around 11pm I got 2 shiny dunsparce and Machop within a 45 min time span all I did was use 1 incense, most shiny Pokémon I’ve got in a day to date
This was an awesome video! I enjoyed watching it, you had me laughing so much, the juxtapose of the "coincidence" and the "facts" had you all tied up, great video man. lmao
@@maxxetto8124 Dude, there's a question mark in the title, showing it as a theory, and he clearly says he doesn't believe in it and that he isn't encouraging people to buy clothing items. I say he's not guilty of clickbait
@@DoveCalderwood check the thumbnail. I think he's guilty of clickbaiting. Clickbait comes from thumbnail, title or what is said/actions performed in the video. Not just from the title.
Maxxetto Well “it worked” this time. He said over and over this isnt scientific and he doesn’t think it is real. “Please don’t take this as evidence” was said 100 times. You got better things in life to do than report an innocent lighthearted video meant to be funny
@@nathang1206 this is clickbaiting, due to the thumbnail alone. Clickbaiting is used for what the word says, tricking you into clicking the video to gain visibility. The thumbnail is clearly clickbaiting, and clickbaiting doesn't care of him not saying it is. What's wrong with pointing out that he clearly clickbaited? As I always do with any video I see that clickbaits, I do report it. This one included. The video remains clickbait even if in the first 3 seconds of the video he clearly says "this is not true it's just a clickbait". It's a shame that clickbaiting has become the norm on YT.
Low key I swear on my live that I bought the 27$ pack CAD in Pokemon to buy a box for incubators and the next thing you know I pulled a shiny barboach and soon a few checks later a shiny magicarp ! I swear
Which is my Marketing Director HAS TO deny there is any methods to increase chances. But unofficially, if an "influencer" happens to suggest otherwise, and they can still profit... then everything is gravy
I bought the glasses on a fluke after seeing this, I wanted them anyway. I ended up with a Shiny Raichu on a surf board from a raid???? Coincidence????
It actually works. I can honestly say before the last EX raid (Mewtwo Shadowball) mg girlfriend binge bought alot of items in her account and after that she opened a research box and she got a shiny pokemon. I also raid her account and she friggin got a shiny Mewtwo.
Sometimes when I go a while without stumbling upon a shiny, I’ll end up getting 3 or 4 in the same day. As it stands I’ve about 32, including a Moltres, Manectric, Rapidash, Torterra, Toxicroak, Kangaskhan, and Eevee (Flower Crown).
Okay so I changed my guy up this morning for the first time since I started the game... without watching video I ended up running into my first shiny ina while today!! Lmaoooo then now I see this video.... you can not make this stop 🤣🤣🤣
I think this theory applies to any item you buy to include the boxes. For the first time, I bought one of the 1480 coin boxes and caught 5 shinies (over a span of a few hours).
Recently, I spent a total of 8 bucks in the game. First time in at least a year or 2 since I spent money. Had only had a few shines over the years. After I spent that money, I kid you not, I caught 6 SHINES IN 5 DAYS, an unbelievable streak. 2 Maril, 1 Dratini, 1 Snubull, 1 Wooper, 1 Ralts. It's rare to get a single shiny in the first place but 6 in 5 days? That's insane. The game even robbed me of one. I saw a Clefairy that looked normal but it had the shiny animation. I caught it but it wasn't a shiny after I caught it. I am more than willing to prove my claim for the shiny streak because I have them. I assume the Clefairy thing was just a weird glitch.
One year after this video was made I stumbled on it. So I go to the shop and buy the cheapest glasses because I'm broke, and 5 pokemon clicks after I find a Shiny Scyther... I'm cryiiiinng
I got two shiny Pokemon right after smashed the "like" button. (You must be subscribed for the trick to work)
lol
You sit on the throne of lies
Empty Hollow 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Subscribed to whom?
IT DOESN’T WORK YOU LIAR!!!!
Step 1: click a pokemon
Step 2: if it's not shiny, click a different pokemon
Step 3: repeat until shiny
No no no ;( You forgot a step.
Step 0: purchase item from the shop ;)
@hoover amen to that lol

My fiancée bought some clothes in game in early July. In her 7 day researches she has recieved 3 shiny latias and 1 shiny groudon...
First, a couple notes:
- I AM NOT EVEN JOKING WHEN SAYING THIS (You don't have to believe me, but I swear on my POKEMON GO ACCOUNT that I am not lying)
- For whatever it's worth, I'm posting this in 2020
Story 1: I remember one time I did a Ho-Oh raid with my family and as we were fighting it, I'm assuming people were like "Oh, what if one of us got a shiny?" Obviously, I was oblivious to this and didn't think I would. Lo and behold, when I went to catch the Ho-Oh, it was shiny. I think that was my first shiny ever, and it was a completely unexpected legendary. (I also believe it was the first raid we did if the day) (And I caught it)
Story 2: I think it was during one of the Groudon/Kyogre events. (I also believe this was the first GROUDON raid of the day) But, I was doing a Groudon raid with my family, and when I went to catch it, it was shiny. (This was not a new thing with me; my whole family was like "Oh, watch, DragonLynx is gonna get a shiny!") Obviously we didn't know for sure, but I did. (Caught it)
Story 3: Same with an Entei event, I believe. I don't think it was first raid, but I ended up getting 2 shiny Enteis in one day (I don't think we even ended up doing a lot).
Story 3: Moltres event. Ended up getting 3-4 shiny Moltres. One day.
Last story (Pretty recent): Gastly Comm. day. First. Gastly. That I clicked. Of the day. Was. Shiny. Not even joking.
Also, almost every community day, I get at least a couple shinies, if not first one out of my family.
Basically what I'm saying is, my family believes I am a shiny magnet. I don't know what is with me, but this is 100% true.
(PS. I wasn't trying to brag - really. I was just sharing my stories.
And thank you for reading this :))
I would like to curiously point out that I re-downloaded pokemon go about a month ago since its release date years ago, and I hadn't ever spotted a shiny in pokemon go yet up to that point. Okay so I recently got back into it and bought some items each day of the water event.
And I did catch a super random (for a water event) Shiny Torchic.
That was my first, okay so a day or two later I get the shiny Carvana too. (Pretty peculiar) 🤔
What's funny is I USED to feel that buying things gave me more shinys, but I think that I was just still at the beginning of playing the game so the algorithm that gives more rewards to newer players was in my favor still.
So I bought a goofy hat and my 6th catch was a shiney poliwag. I NEVER get shines🤔
I really would love if you open the mail, I miss those videos, and I love to see all the fantastic things that fans sometimes do, some are really amazing pieces of art.
Happy 1 year anniversary for this video. I still follow the advice of the parkinglott shiny hunter, Ken. I feel my shiny odds are slightly increased for a short time after I buy a clothing item. Seems to be working for me as I am a consistent shiny finder. Thanks for your vids Nick.
I do think there is a way to get extremely increased odds of finding a shiny. If you stop playing the game all together for a few months, when you come back, it seems to be that you get a shiny of the first thing you tap
Rng can be manipulated in some games. Like if the random numbers are calculated using the time or coordinates as a seed, then technically there could be a pattern to the "randomness"
Packages! Looking forward to it. Keep doing what you're doing.
Honestly, whenever I re-up on Pokecoins I always find more shinies that day! Again just a superstition of mine, just like being 7th in a raid lobby or clicking a mon immediately as it appears on the map... To each their own!
I tried it. Bought a shirt, caught a shiny carvanha an hour later.....

Step 469: Click next pokemon and you should have shiny
I found shiny magikarp and i didn’t have any pokeball or coins, after 20 minutes when i ran back with 2 pokeballs from pokestop i was lucky because it was there and now i have shiny magikarp
Its the rarest shiny😍
Rebecca Vozarikova yea idk about that one
The rarest shiny is a rival wally shiny ralts
Evelyn Martinez no it isnt
Magikarp was the first shiny ever
I found a shiny Mudkip while trying to get more candies for it today.
I missed the com day for mudkip and have been searching for months now 😕
Maybe coincidence but it worked for me. Shiny Horsea too. 😊😊
Last night around 11pm I got 2 shiny dunsparce and Machop within a 45 min time span all I did was use 1 incense, most shiny Pokémon I’ve got in a day to date
3:11 same. I got a shiny onyx yesterday and I shook my phone and jumped up and down cause its been a while since I've gotten a shiny wild pokemon.
This was an awesome video! I enjoyed watching it, you had me laughing so much, the juxtapose of the "coincidence" and the "facts" had you all tied up, great video man. lmao
Anyone counted the number of times Nick said he thinks it's not working?
If it's clickbait, you report it.
It's a shady way of making people buy the clothes, so I'm all on reporting this video as fake.
@@maxxetto8124 Dude, there's a question mark in the title, showing it as a theory, and he clearly says he doesn't believe in it and that he isn't encouraging people to buy clothing items. I say he's not guilty of clickbait
@@DoveCalderwood check the thumbnail. I think he's guilty of clickbaiting.
Clickbait comes from thumbnail, title or what is said/actions performed in the video. Not just from the title.
Maxxetto Well “it worked” this time. He said over and over this isnt scientific and he doesn’t think it is real. “Please don’t take this as evidence” was said 100 times. You got better things in life to do than report an innocent lighthearted video meant to be funny
@@nathang1206 this is clickbaiting, due to the thumbnail alone. Clickbaiting is used for what the word says, tricking you into clicking the video to gain visibility.
The thumbnail is clearly clickbaiting, and clickbaiting doesn't care of him not saying it is.
What's wrong with pointing out that he clearly clickbaited? As I always do with any video I see that clickbaits, I do report it. This one included.
The video remains clickbait even if in the first 3 seconds of the video he clearly says "this is not true it's just a clickbait". It's a shame that clickbaiting has become the norm on YT.
No one:
Nick: Did I mention that I in NO way believe this actually works?
Me: haha funny, as if I'd fall for that.
Also me: ⭐⭐⭐👀
I love the face you pulled when you realized you caught a shiny. Genuine devastation. Priceless.
Low key I swear on my live that I bought the 27$ pack CAD in Pokemon to buy a box for incubators and the next thing you know I pulled a shiny barboach and soon a few checks later a shiny magicarp ! I swear
If true, this sounds extremely unethical.
more like standard game design, potato/potatoe
Why? U can earn coins for free by defending a gym so it's not like you have to spend real money.
Which is my Marketing Director HAS TO deny there is any methods to increase chances. But unofficially, if an "influencer" happens to suggest otherwise, and they can still profit... then everything is gravy
I bought the glasses on a fluke after seeing this, I wanted them anyway. I ended up with a Shiny Raichu on a surf board from a raid???? Coincidence????
Joe Proctor I THINK NOT!!!
No, I got a golden karp!
(Alolan raichu)
6:33 The mysterious flying-object sound be like:
"BULLLLSHIT YOU KNOW IT'S NOT SUPERStition you know it's trueeeee....."
It actually works. I can honestly say before the last EX raid (Mewtwo Shadowball) mg girlfriend binge bought alot of items in her account and after that she opened a research box and she got a shiny pokemon. I also raid her account and she friggin got a shiny Mewtwo.
Just shiny checked for 5 hours and the second I did this got back to back shinies
Bought items?
Every time I spend $100 I always hatch a shiny...... EVERY.SINGLE.TIME.
Actually in the last 4 eggs I have hatched 3 meowths shiny and one sandshrew alolan shiny .
I really think buying things would increase the odds! I got 4 wild shines after I bought the adventure box.
Sometimes when I go a while without stumbling upon a shiny, I’ll end up getting 3 or 4 in the same day. As it stands I’ve about 32, including a Moltres, Manectric, Rapidash, Torterra, Toxicroak, Kangaskhan, and Eevee (Flower Crown).
The buying clothing and getting a shiny myth is 100% true. Been doing it for months, hasnt failed me yet
I bought the happy coat in team mystic and got two shiny Magikarp the same day haha
Same, it worked for me, bought the coat and got two shinies aswell!
Okay so I changed my guy up this morning for the first time since I started the game... without watching video I ended up running into my first shiny ina while today!! Lmaoooo then now I see this video.... you can not make this stop 🤣🤣🤣
OH MY GOD I was watching the horsea clip and as it shined a bulbasaur sparkled, that timing tho
I think this theory applies to any item you buy to include the boxes. For the first time, I bought one of the 1480 coin boxes and caught 5 shinies (over a span of a few hours).
He just got extremely lucky I got lucky yesterday with getting shiny charmander two of them
It isn’t that lucky I mean I got 28 shiny charmander the other day
Trick to get more people to watch the video?
Lol but in all seriousness I'm going to watch anyway. Just wish that you could wear pants with the happi
Omg Nick you wont belive what just happened. I traded lapras for lapras with a friend and got a lucky 100iv legacy!! 😮🤭
I saw easy shiny. I clicked plz no clickbait lol
Yup, clickbaited.
HellPet no
It's not a clickbait. It's a Nickbait! ;)
Recently, I spent a total of 8 bucks in the game. First time in at least a year or 2 since I spent money. Had only had a few shines over the years. After I spent that money, I kid you not, I caught 6 SHINES IN 5 DAYS, an unbelievable streak. 2 Maril, 1 Dratini, 1 Snubull, 1 Wooper, 1 Ralts. It's rare to get a single shiny in the first place but 6 in 5 days? That's insane. The game even robbed me of one. I saw a Clefairy that looked normal but it had the shiny animation. I caught it but it wasn't a shiny after I caught it.
I am more than willing to prove my claim for the shiny streak because I have them. I assume the Clefairy thing was just a weird glitch.
One year after this video was made I stumbled on it. So I go to the shop and buy the cheapest glasses because I'm broke, and 5 pokemon clicks after I find a Shiny Scyther... I'm cryiiiinng
