@@ljmonsterhunterplays2603 that's why it's nice to have a good punching bag in your party, and a lot of poke balls. Had a shiny alpha Chimchar spawn on me while farming. My poor Snorlax took a pounding.
@@ljmonsterhunterplays2603 my first shiny was a full odds alpha chansey....my team and my inventory wasn't ready for that bs I had to kill it out of frustration 😂
One of my first Alphas was a random Alpha Eevee in the first zone. I was having trouble in the beginning of the game with being stealthy so I scared all the Eevees away in my previous attempts to catch one until the game decided I sucked too much and spawned an Alpha version which would not run away from me when getting spotted. Now I have an Alpha Umbreon and he is perfect. Thank you very much for all your videos! They are super helpful and a joy to watch.
Man, alpha Pokémon are great; it feels like some of them are finally the size it felt like they should be, like Empoleon, Torterra, Electivire, or even Staraptor. I always imagined some of them to be huge, so I was often disappointed by the scale (or lack thereof).
My favorite part of these videos is hearing how much Austin is genuinely loving the game. I don't actually need any of this info but I watch all the vids just to hear Austin gush over the little things like catching an alpha budew. Keep up the great work!
For the Pachirisu quest, you can take as many Pachirisu’ as you want. So, if you want, you can catch a team of 6 Pachirisu (or however many you want, I only needed 2) and fight the Ursaring that way. Pretty interesting.
Hello Austin! I just wanted to inform you that you missed one of the alpha pokemons in this area. In Lake Valor, between the island and the waterfall, you have a Whiscash Alpha (I've seen it a few times in this location and double checked before posting this comment). Thank you very much for all your hardwork on the Pokemon games.
Didn't even know it was Alpha and I caught it while Freestyling with Basculegion 🤣 only found out it was Alpha when I was checking out my Pokemon in the pasture 🤣🤣
I loved shrine hunters I am forever grateful for that series. Helped me find all of them so fast. I’ve lived you channel since zelda first came out. Feels so long. By far my favorite channel on TH-cam you make my life so easy with Nintendo games. Love your content bro.
I threw an ultra ball exactly when the alpha Torterra turned but still got it, no back shot, only one ultra ball. Favorite Sinnoh starter, easiest alpha of my life along with alpha Empoleon that only required a back shot in a wing ball
I got a tip for the making those tricky jumps. -If you jump against the wall and at the peak of your jump press start to unmount the deer and it will be easier to make those jumps 😁
As a note, if you don't want to try the jump to Droning Meadow, you can make your way to Diamond Settlement (where a Request is) then go north and east around Lake Valor. You will end up in Cottonsedge Prairie first where you can catch Petilil for both your own H-Lilliigant and for a Request in Jubilife.
Wait oh my god Lake Valor....THAT LAKE VALOR. And omg you go like around the thing that holds the Lake Spirit OH MY GOD.....It feels so much bigger now than in Modern Sinnoh, Why do I keep forgetting that this is basically Ancient Sinnoh? Or at least 18th century Sinnoh? Like when I heard the Eterna Forest music it didn't click until AFTER I left and then I come back to it shrieked like a scream queen lol. I love when nods like that are subtle rather than them just throwing 'member berries at us.
Thanks for all the videos man, its awesome that youre spitting out a ton for the new game. Just wanted to say thanks cause theyve been a super big help, keep it up dude.
fair warning: the arcanine boss in the cobalt coastlands is a nightmare to defeat, its even unnecessarily stronger than the boss after it. after that the rest of the story (except for the final noble which i'm not sure if it's going to be as hard as arcanine but i know it will probably also be very hard) is relatively tame with you,
@@shadowkingdom275 nice. My first shiny was a random alpha geodude. I was so happy I’ve made them work on the farm at base. Always gives me a smile when I walk past.
Hey Austin, I’ve been loving the content for this game, every video has been super helpful. Would you be considering a video explaining the use of the grit gravel and like items? That is something I’m not really understanding too well. Thanks!
While using this video for help on rounding up the last of the Alphas that I didn't have, of course I would find a shiny Carnivine. It's almost like my game heard you talking down to it lol. Absolutely love your stuff, man!
A trick i found when climbing up hills with Wyrdeer: If you jump with Wyrdeer and barely cannot make it up, just press + to unequip Wyrdeer at the highest point. Your character will be able to reach the high ground. Edit: For example at 4:33 in the video. Wyrdeer clearly can jump high enough. Just unequip him once you're at the highest point and you will make it easily
You should make a video where you go over all the Pokédex and which are the top 3 best natures for each Pokémon! Would be super awesome and useful content
"Alpha Hunters" So, since you already crossed that line...I demand a documentary style series of you being a Steve Irwin-esq character tracking, studying, observing, dodging, and battling wild Alphas. Like, I absolutely need this in my life now.
You missed one! I just discovered that there's a static Alpha Whiscash you can manage to bait into range at the top of the waterfall if you get to the western edge of the rim there with some tricky determined Wyrdeer jumps. It's obviously meant for when you have Basculegion later, but it's accessible early on~!
Ah yes, torterra.. I remember when I ran into it for the first time. Wandering about with my typhlosion I jumped a gap I wasnt sure if I was supposed too, immediately I spotted him and knew what had to be done. Approaching slowly I threw typhlosion feeling theres no way I can lose, then I got jumped by the fly traps and they slapped my team so hard 😂 thought that was it but nope torterra solo killed me like 3 times after lmao
@Austin John Plays there is faster method of using balls inside battle, no need to go to Items menu, just push X to change bottom menu to balls / throwable items, and then ZR to use ball :)
I don't have a Twitter but I got a random alpha shiny Geodude that I evolved into Golem with the link cable. So happy I didn't have to trade it to fully evolve him
@@ikjgi7742 nice! Yeah I love how clean a team of all pokeballs looks so I caught all my first alpha Sinnoh starters in pokeballs and now for the repeats just doing whatever
I did not know this but when you throw out your pokemon outside of battle and speak to it, you can press B and Y as well for 2 other animations. Try it out.
Also, once the Unown Dex is completed, in the Solaceon Ruins where the wild Unown spawn (only after completing the unown dex. keep that in mind), they have a chance to be alpha (and shiny).
Your videos are amazing, while watching this video with a few pauses I found a shiny sliggo, shiny growlithe on first outbreak and 2 shiny staravia on the next outbreak, you're a good luck charm
Best Random Alpha I got was an Alpha Zubat. I just heard Alpha Boss music while running around the Deertrack place but only saw a small Zubat there. I caught it with a PokeBall and then it apparently was the Alpha. Great to know that the music really helps in determining random Alpha appearances, especially for Zubat 🤣
Managed to grab myself a shiny cherubi from a mass outbreak and a Alpha Sylveon from a random distortion rift. Keep up the videos I’m newly subscribed to your channel and love all the info your sharing with the community!
Hey Austin! Big fan of the channel thank you so much for your content. I see you frequently do videos based on comments from your community. I think it would be really helpful to do a item video. Specifically on what to use and what to keep in which parts of the game. Like I’m saving all the exp candy, but I feel like I should be using it? But also maybe saving it for late game? Same thing with which items to sell and hold on to? I think that would be real helpful with just the vast amount of items there are now… it’s a bit overwhelming. Maybe a big ole tips and tricks episode? Anyways, thanks again!
Just started shiny hunting yesterday after finishing the story and managed to find 4, 3 of which were in back to back outbreaks. Haunter, chansey, gible and eevee thanks to yours and aDrive’s tutorials. My first legit shiny encounter since original diamond and pearl
Just about 10 minutes ago I just finished the last Alpha in the ice region. I have captured every static Alpha (story one's encluded) in a regular pokeball. Aside from the story ones which you have to fight with a pokemon and the water ones. I caught the rest in the over world no battling. Only Ninja techniques here. Now I'm going to go over each map over and over resetting after I've looked at all the spawns via bird until I have all the alphas. Wish my luck!
If you're main pokemon gets knocked out you can run away, heal/revive, then fight again and they'll have there previous stats still. So if the pokemon you were fighting was either half or low hp it'll stay that way. Only problem would be is that they'll always go first
for anyone clearing side-quest, the alpha pachirisu is useful for clearing the pachirisu solo sidequest since its 10 levels higher than the fight itself
Great video as always! This is a question for my OCD lol but how come you used star icons for alpha markers and not the alpha icon? Lol also if you favorite items in your satchel, does it group them together on your item wheel?
I didn't know you could jump across the river, but you can also just go up and around Lake Valour to get to the east side easily without progressing the story, which is what I did because I really wanted a Petilil as early as possible.
you are totally doing this for the grit dust and stuff and i salute you sir. this will be a long trek for me as the last battle is no joke and im not so good with pokemon
Thanks this is helpful. I did Alpha hunting in the Crimson Mirrlands. I fight them fo good battle practice and experience for my team. The only one I missed was alpha Onyx. I had no idea there was one in the Crimson Mirlanda. I went back and fought it. I remember the typing of the Crogunk line. Both stages are poison- fighting. This is a unique combo. So I pick Gardevoir, because the combo is super weak to pschychic. I defeat Toxicroak using Pschycic attack. Unfortunately the Toxicroak just had to attack first and hit with poison jab. Ouch! It does suck that Gardevoir takes supereffective damage from poison. I wish psychic was resistant to poison so it would neutralize the fairy weakness. Oh well. This was probably done for balancing reasons. Psychic was the origional OP type. I still like Gardevoir though, and not in the creepy gross way. It is cool for being a Pokemon that is so similar to being a magician. It also has a combo of two good types. One of my favorite critics is Lily Orchard, and her favorite Pokemon is Gardevoir. Again this is not in the gross way. I nickname the Gardevoir on my team Sylvanas after Lily's favorite World of Warcraft character. The Pokemon is like the character in that both are banshee- like. Sometimes when I battle with my Gardevour, I say "Victory for Sylvanas." I did catch more Ralts in order to develop a living Dex. I had more names to give them. I am not sure whether I got all the forms yet. I do plan on what to name the forms. The Ralts is called Babu. The Kirlia is called Dalaran. The Gallade is called Arthas. There are two Gardevoir. The one in the team is called Sylvanas. The one in the living dex is called Jaina. There were some random alphas. I found two Alpha Carnivines. Then I got confused. Then I had to back track. To figure out which place I accidentally stamped as an alpha location. The video shows that the placed Alpha Carnivine was in the east by Vespiquen and Yanmega. I figured the extra stamp was right by alpha Torterra. That must have been where the random alpha Carnivone was. I did find a Paras as a random Alpha. That is freaking terrifying. It is as if regular Paras wasn't scary enough. Alpha Paras may be the scariest thing in all of Hisui. Fortunately I beat it using my Infernape. There is a funny name here too. Infernape sounds like a mix of inferno and ape. Inferno is fitting for being fire starter. Inferno does mean fire. Funny enough it also means Hell. It just reminds me of the Divine Comedy, which is a really cool story. I nicknamed my Infernape Dante after the author and protagonist of the story. Come to think of it, fighting tends to be depicted as a force of good and heroism in Pokemon. They are strong against dark because good trums over evil. Infernape does gain fighting as a secondary type. Maybe that is like getting into the better realms of Purgatorio abd Paradisio (Heaven).
Nice Shiny Hippowdon bro.
Unrelated to this but I THINK toxicroak is poison fighting, not sure tho I also always forget
I get it okay I got fooled yesterday 😭😭😭😭😭
@@ljmonsterhunterplays2603 so does the Hisuian Sneasle and its evolution
And on an unrelated note, I found a random Shiny Haunter at the Corranet Highlands.

Hold up alphas can be shiny? Hell yes this game is the gift that keeps on giving
Really wish that the moves that hit multiple enemies would do so in this game! Make these type of boss battles easier
Im sure thats why they removed the feature! Imagine ground types having earthquake in this? Would be broken easy

I have an alpha Steelix working the farm. 100% the right size.

I got lucky with Torterra, caught it with a single ultra ball from behind hunting a satchel
He is awesome
Omg I was just about to search for this video till you uploaded, thanks Austin!
Don't know if this is sacrilegious, but Legends: Arceus is the best Pokemon game of at least the last 10 years

Hey Austin! Could you make a video about star dust, grit, and other items that aren't talked about much? Your videos are awesome!
Been wondering if I should hold on to grit for late game or be using it early.
Hi Sheldon. In another video he briefly mentioned to sell some of your stardust stock early game. But always keep some on hand in the storage chest
TYSM. Your videos are literally helping me fill out my Pokédex and getting cool strong alphas
Thanks for all the videos man, its awesome that youre spitting out a ton for the new game. Just wanted to say thanks cause theyve been a super big help, keep it up dude.
I've never caught more than 1 shiny in a game.. I now have 9 and counting and I'm having a blast hunting and just randomly running into them
I have 22 in game hours and havent even fought Lilligent yet this game is so fun to explore

Love the “can’t just walk up with a Gigaton ball” on Torterra… def did that on my second one. First one was Oran berry and pokeball
same for the gigaton I did it on empoleon and infernape too
@@ikjgi7742 nice! Yeah I love how clean a team of all pokeballs looks so I caught all my first alpha Sinnoh starters in pokeballs and now for the repeats just doing whatever

I did not know this but when you throw out your pokemon outside of battle and speak to it, you can press B and Y as well for 2 other animations. Try it out.
For the crafty jumping, by getting off wyrdeer at the peak of its jump you can get slightly further to make so of those jumps a bit easier
Also, once the Unown Dex is completed, in the Solaceon Ruins where the wild Unown spawn (only after completing the unown dex. keep that in mind), they have a chance to be alpha (and shiny).

It is cool for being a Pokemon that is so similar to being a magician. It also has a combo of two good types. One of my favorite critics is Lily Orchard, and her favorite Pokemon is Gardevoir. Again this is not in the gross way. I nickname the Gardevoir on my team Sylvanas after Lily's favorite World of Warcraft character. The Pokemon is like the character in that both are banshee- like. Sometimes when I battle with my Gardevour, I say "Victory for Sylvanas." I did catch more Ralts in order to develop a living Dex. I had more names to give them. I am not sure whether I got all the forms yet. I do plan on what to name the forms. The Ralts is called Babu. The Kirlia is called Dalaran. The Gallade is called Arthas. There are two Gardevoir. The one in the team is called Sylvanas. The one in the living dex is called Jaina.
There were some random alphas. I found two Alpha Carnivines. Then I got confused. Then I had to back track. To figure out which place I accidentally stamped as an alpha location. The video shows that the placed Alpha Carnivine was in the east by Vespiquen and Yanmega. I figured the extra stamp was right by alpha Torterra. That must have been where the random alpha Carnivone was. I did find a Paras as a random Alpha. That is freaking terrifying. It is as if regular Paras wasn't scary enough. Alpha Paras may be the scariest thing in all of Hisui. Fortunately I beat it using my Infernape. There is a funny name here too. Infernape sounds like a mix of inferno and ape. Inferno is fitting for being fire starter. Inferno does mean fire. Funny enough it also means Hell. It just reminds me of the Divine Comedy, which is a really cool story. I nicknamed my Infernape Dante after the author and protagonist of the story. Come to think of it, fighting tends to be depicted as a force of good and heroism in Pokemon. They are strong against dark because good trums over evil. Infernape does gain fighting as a secondary type. Maybe that is like getting into the better realms of Purgatorio abd Paradisio (Heaven).
I love all your videos keep up the great work 👍
Nice to see were Raichu has been hiding from me. I've not looked over much media but have people questioned if Alola's Totems are Alpha's?
My first alpha magikarp was a shiny. Fell down the cliff randomly to that fun surprise.
