U know I've watched all these tutorials and have essentially done none
Same
Same
Better hurry get them gigatamax
Same here.
same. but I'm planning to... buy the game. just like I am planning to buy a switch.
Austin: “It was very difficult on 3ds”
Me on 3ds: *Posts ditto on gts for any other ditto, within 10 seconds has foreign ditto*
Yeah gts made a lot of things easier. Sad it's gone.
Odds are it probably had trash ivs coming off of the gts, but if all you cared about was shiny breeding then yeah it was way easier.
@@FakeHeroFang this SwSh stuff made me excited for Sun again so I'm playing that. Well not really playing, I'm just trading tons of Rowlet. Already have all starters, all Moon exclusives (including Lunala).
It's so easy this is unbelievable.
I respect you
LordGoomy
Usually the shiny ditto has perfect ivs.
“Bold of you to assume I have a friend”
I am ur friend
@@humpty5006 no.
Tbh are friends even real? I mean I haven’t seen one with my own eyes so...
Or a 2nd switch
Bold of you to assume I have a second switch
I'm sure you've all learned this by now, but it's best to use the three Legendaries for the Ditto raids. Because Zacian, Zamazenta, and Eternatus are unable to Dynamax, Ditto is actually unable to Transform or Imposter into them.
Blood Asp Eternatus can Eternamax
@@epicbread1310 I need to know as well
@@epicbread1310 you cant.
Good thing it doesn't become an Eternamax Eternatus. That would suck.
Not necessarily because if you have a brain u realize all pokemon that can g-max are like eternamax eternatus because if u think about it that's just a g-max form so really If u have multiple ppl EZ also I want the dlc to come with eternamax eternatus to ppl who pre order that and on shiny form but if they do give a free shiny in the dlc If u pre order I would assume u would get either shiny galar bird or a regi electric and the other one version exclusive also has anyone noticed the dots on the new regi face resemble x and y I hope that yvetel and xerneas made it
I have mine in Pokémon Bank lol, he’s just waiting for his passport so he can come to Galar.
Francisco Tovar I’m leaving mine on usum, because I still want to breed in it, I got a lots of shinies with the swap method.
Same
Kytsune-Izzie what’s the point in breeding in usum if the Pokémon can’t be transferred
Kytsune-Izzie I didn’t even tried in UsUm but I did finish the game, but I had that Ditto for a long time, it’s like a family pet and I like how he’s bringing champion ribbons since gen 4. Lol
Same
8:30 "the 3DS is region locked"
*laughs in Homebrew*
True x2
Uhh the pokemon region changes on the language u chose at the start of the game bruh...
@@EdgarOmega22 uhh -_-
Laughs in gts
Laughs in pkhex
1:00 "...how you're gonna get a 5 or 6IV Ditto, in another language, on your system"
Me: *excited af*
".....one, to have a frie-"
Me: *closes video*
Shoun Yu yo im from germany wanna try it together someday?
@@bot_pommes5683 I'm down for that if the offer still stands. I already have a eng. 5 iv ditto
@TEAMFRAM4RATE yeah sure just have to hunt it first
It’s kinda sad how many people on the internet make jokes about having no friends.
Gold Flower Gamer yeah
"A FRIEND" *cries in the corner*
I realize, this date spoofing thing is probably why there's consistent raid pop ups on the game that you join instantly that said it's been removed.
Yeah, it's extremely annoying, but if you watch your feed you can determine if they're using that exploit and wait for them to have a raid that's usually a gmax Pokemon.
I'm seeing them pop-up but doesn't give the option to join.
Do you think the date spoof will be patched out soon?
You don’t even have to be online to do the raid change spoof. I’ve been doing it offline all day
Kasch dang. It’s not that bad lol, I just gave out like 15 g max gengars while my friend why trying to catch one on sword.... he never got it LOL
“I’m an Australian citizen, speaking Italian, in New Jersey.”
Yeah, you just earned yourself a new sub buddy. lol.
For anyone with the Isle of Armor DLC there is a den in the Workout Sea that is almost guarunteed to be a Ditto on both red beam and rare beam. It's den #152 on serebii if you want the location. This saves having to save reset for a rare den.
Australian Man speaking Italian in New Jersey
Mr. Worldwide
He is not Australian though. I know he makes his switch think that but he isn't Australian.
Miles PerHour He literally said, ‘I’m an Australian Citizen, Speaking Italian in New Jersey.’
He’s not Biologically AUSTRALIAN ( I think.) But he’s an Australian Citizen. Making him Australian.
bold of you to assume i have a 1 friend, but i have a 2nd switch tho.
You could catch two dittos and offer one to someone to have him trade thr other to you
@@Michael-bm4tg it was a joke pal
i dont even have a switch i just got a 3ds rip me
@@blindmelon2007 lets pretend I have one and completely didn't say that for the purpose of the joke ;)
Same but no 2nd switch :(
I was literally just looking up how to get a good ditto for shinies and this popped up. Thank you Austin!
Unfortunately it doesn’t work for me. Because I have no friends and I only have one switch. So I’m still stuck just doing surprise trades.
@@PlayGamesfor3ver im from spain if someone wants to trade a ditto eith me put your code down
SW-2811-4988-0104
I have an Irish ditto if anybody wants to trade :)
Chevy I am interested. I have an English Ditto. Or if you’re looking for something else, I’m on Shield.
8:35
"i'm an Australian, speaking Italian: in new jersey."
Ded.
"doing this on 3ds was hard"
*laughs in GTS*
Small brain: date spamming
Big brain: TIME TRAVELING
Ahh an animal crossing player
"Bold of you to assume I have 1 friend"
*Bold of you to assume I have more than 0.314 friends...*
Well it’s no wonder you don’t have 1 friend, you pull that ‘edit: thx for likes’ BS
@Renzo Ramirez pause the video at 1:11 you will see what I mean
Ayman Dayoub you pull the ‘edit: thx for likes’ bs
Renzo Ramirez I’m kinda confused, why are you so mad at him?
When you don’t have any friends or a second switch to do this on
1:11
I feel your pain
SkullCrusherGaming wurd sane here I have a v2 switch but I’m on multiple facet groups on Pokémon and I might need a switch lite and a physical copy of sword to get competitive trad evolutions and a foreign ditto as well
I’ll do it with you
I have 3 lol (my siblings)
Austin John you are one of my top go to channels for pokemon info! Thank you so much for all the tutorials and guides on how to perform these different maneuvers in pokemon games! Love your channel man, big cheers to you! :]
I can’t be the only one who read it as “How to catch HIV”
Diego Zenteno just ask your mom.
Similar technique but different practice
You’ll also need a friend for that
Gambit08 “friend”
Too bad i have the shiny hiv
I’m still on the first step: finding my game copy
I'm on the 0 step, getting a switch
king potato I’m still on step -1 finding elektricity
Lone Ranger step -3 : learning how to talk
Aymen Timmers do you mean toxtricity? just realizing, you probably meant electricity lol
You are the first and recently only, Pokémon you tuber I go to if I’m lost or curious about something in my game. Thank you Austin. People make the joke you look tired but you’re a hard worker and that I respect. Your content truly shows that.
THIS IS THE BEST GUIDE OUT THERE I DID EXACTLY AS HE SAID AND IT WAS INSTANTLY A PURPLE BEAM ! So happy!
A trick for Ditto raids that I feel most people haven't caught onto yet is have everyone bring Eternatus/Zacian/Zamazenta. They can't be dynamaxed so when Ditto tries to transform into them, it just fails and wastes its turn. It's even better than bringing Magikarp, because they can actually attack and still deal a lot of damage with Dynamax Cannon or Behemoth Blade even past the barriers. People should know this so they stop bringing fairies when I bring Eternatus cause that just stops my Dynamax Cannon and slows the raid down.
Hey congrats on hitting 1 mil, you totally deserve it. Been watching all the way since sun and moon.
I remember when you had 50k subs now you're over a million and it hasnt even been that long. Congrats bro and thanks for all the vids and tips
Loving what you do man! Thanks for all the help! First pokemon game for me since being a kid.
Thank You, Austin John Plays. I almost lost while looking for the den.
Congrats on a mil Austin... I remember starting to watch at the 100,000 mark you made it a long way congrats 🎉
I have been playing this game since fire red came out and I have finally decided to make a competitive team so this was very helpful with 6 IV ditto
Love your videos man. Super helpful. Straight to the point. And as a bonus you upload a bunch. Keep up with the good work man
I feel so tired having to hard reset everytime. Now I know how you felt austin john. Watch all the tutorials makes me miss sleep.
I just started a playthrough of Pokemon Sword in Spanish today to get foreign dittos and practice my Spanish, perfect timing with this tutorial!
Are u willing to trade a spanish ditto to me?
What’s ur friend code I would very much appreciate a foreign ditto
Me friend code is sw-3838-3401-4703 im on english tho
So Spanish ditto will work with English ditto?
I did this night and caught 2 foreign dittos
Jeez, i friggin love these videos you do. Im trying to do my 1st playthrough as legitimate as possible, but even still, your videos ALL are packed with awesome information. Your videos are so helpful and I have to thank you for that! You are an awesome person, and I appreciate you. Have a good day, and keep up the amazing work.
Thank you so much! My friend and I were able to get a 5 best 1 fantastic iv ditto from an Italian playthrough for our American playthrough.
30 hp and 31 for the rest
when i say i love this man
ure so underated in the community like ure so amazing for processing this info. make sure you're taking care of urself x
Austin John you're the best man, I can always trust you with these guides. You are always straight to the point it's great.
I've had a Shiny Japanese Ditto for years just waiting for Home to let it come to Galar.
Is there a way for us to get those pokemon from our X and Y to Home? If so, I'm in luck
@@PureHaNkYpAnKy So long as it's in the 400 available, so far anyway
@@abdizur8765 awesome
AWESOME Job Thank you. You made that really easy to understand.
I found a method to get lv 100s in as little as 1 hour. While trying to reset to get gigantamax spawns i noticed when I change the date by 1 day and reset the purple beam, my poke jobs would also reset and complete. It only works when u reset the beam changing the date outside of that doesn't reset the poke jobs. I have been lving my pokemon to 100 while gigantamax hunting.
So the formula is
reset game till you get a purple beam, then save, after go to poke center and send pokemon off to work on the EXP Jobs or EV training Jobs, then fly back to the den you got the purple beam, Do the reset method, (hit invite others then change the date forward by 1 day) then once it reset the pokemon in the beam, just fly to poke center and your jobs should be completed.
Just keep repeating.
Now I find some times it doesn't work but that is mostly if you hit the home button by accident after you reset the den, for whatever reason hitting the home button after den reset undos the job completion even if you have not reset the date to current date.
Hope you all find this useful but I have leveled up my 30+ competitive pokemon this way in only 2 hours. and it take 3 reset to full EV Train 1 stat as each reset gives you 96 points to that stat.
in terms of Evs, just sell pokeballs you can buy with watts and use the money you get to buy vitamins
Luxury balls are the more profitable ones, get them off of watts sell them on the poke center get the medicines, 26 medicines is 252 ev's (technically 260 but ev's just 252)
Hack for facing Ditto with Imposter: have the host bring a Ditto; it will “transform” into the Ditto and be unable to transform or attack in any way the rest of the raid 😁
Merrick Barker legendaries are way faster
The ditto doesn't always transform to the host pokemon...
@@sheepdogsherlock1311 if that ditto has the ability imposter it should from what i heard
I'm not sure I'm even interested in doing all this, but I'm still subbing and bookmarking in case I do. Thanks for all the hard work!
I have been trying to look for one forever austin you really are the best
I was able to get a German Ditto through trades and proceeded to get a Shiny Wooloo in 14 eggs. That felt good
Ok so german does work? I have a german ditto and people were saying it won't work with an American file.
Please do a “what to do post game” video. That would be great
Sleep
there's almost nothing.
Talk to a girl 🚻
This the first time that my spanish will come in handy
I think he spoke Italian.
Why? Pokemon names in spanish are the same as English.
@@MrTavito89 as long as its a different language Masuda method works
@@cereal184 yes i am aware, my comment means im bilingual so i can do another run no problem for that ditto

Thanks so much I would’ve never thought of this
I truly appreciate how in the background the trailer of Pokémon sword and shield was playing
Austin is wearing an ultralocke shirt are we gonna do another one with Philly agian?!?!
I was just about to comment the same thing. 👍
@@rowanbarker2576 I seriously hope so it kept me entertained while shiny hunting
Yaaasssss please
I got a purple beam the first time I am so happy
Edit: I got extremely lucky it also had imposter
Barbara Dix I got it on second try, we got very lucky
me too!!!!
its takin me ages damn this rng ;-;
@@winterpirate same here, rngesus left me.
This kinda makes you miss GTS
Though the lack of region lock makes it alot easier
Thanks for the time you put into these videos
Something I've been doing on my Ditto farm is after I find a 5 star Ditto, I load up the battle really fast to see if it has the imposter ability. If it doesn't I exit out and continue forward through the date advance method. Once I find one with imposter I exit out one last time, and then finally connect to the internet while sending in my level 1 Magikarp. I may have no idea what the IVs are on the Ditto but hey at least a few other random players are getting an easy chance to get a decent Ditto without having to do the set up themselves.
Well, the "have a friend" part kicked me out of the video. :(
Or friends more intelligent than you that won't buy a rancid game :-(
:( you’re not alone buddy
@@kharvalerian4223 Why are you even here if you don't like the game?
@Junktor Add me on discord and we can give each other an international ditto with at least 4 perfect IV's
noah leere I’m US based and should have a 4+IV ditto, would love to do a trade!
*dayum* and Gratz on 1M!!!
Just got a 5IV Ditto lol, thanks Austin for your tutorials hahah, I’ve been following you since I got into Arceus (I got sword afterwards)
I was wondering if I could have just set my other Playthrough on another language and arrange for some Pokemon catching that way.
U can literally catch it in a new account then transfer thru pkmn home
You're videos are so good man
thank you so much for this. im working on doing this now.
I like how I acutally got to the point of trying to catch a ditto
Why couldn’t gamefreak just give us back the GTS
Pokemon Home
Darkzeed still doesn’t fix the fact that the current trading system is incredibly counterintuitive even the festival plaza was better than this
To spite us
I dont know man, the GTS was aids, people asking for Arceus and Darkrai for a region exclusive pokemon or cheaters using it to trade hacked pokemon and stuff, I'm actually glad it's gone.
Samuel Mejia the thing is you would find asshats like that but also people who wanted the things you did, ive been searching for a foreign ditto for over a day and it’s pathetic, with gts I would have one by now
Great Video Buddy!
I started a new Shield game just to use this method. My first sparkling item pickup was a wishing piece. Then on my second try at the den, I got the Ditto. Amazing work, thank you.
When u are a Italian guy and you proud when someone use italian's references
Austin John: How to catch 6iv dittos
Me:plz dont say sike right now
This helped a lot thanks!
Super useful, thanks!!!
If the ditto has its hidden ability and the host sends out a ditto, the raid ditto will turn into that ditto. The host can then turn into another persons Pokémon, while the raid ditto can no longer transform. This is because you cannot transform multiple times, so the raid ditto just sits there spamming transform while it fails
Huh
I followed your steps to get a 6IV ditto and the very first 5 star raid I got happened to be a shiny ditto.
Thank you for this.
Thanks for the info, very helpful
Just a side note ive discovered which someone mightve already covered
Ditto cant turn into Eternatus
If u doing solo, it can only turn into npc pokemons
I watch to watch because your naturally very good at what u do also “how bold of you to assume I have a friend”
Done. Renamed the Italian Ditto "Italian stallion" 👍
Why can’t we CO-OP battle tower?! :(
I know! I used to love doing that!
Yo man, thanks a lot, I got the ditto second try, thanks to you I will soon get my first diyto
Thank you so much you are an awsome guy. Thanks for saving my time
Ok I know this isn’t the video that I’m watching right now, but Austin made a video on how to get 1 million $, DAMN!
quick question: is the language chosen in-game the only thing that affects the ditto's region? meaning you don't have to have an international profile in your switch??
Wow i know im late with this but congrats on 1M Subs your channel is truly epic.
you’re the best! i love your videos!
Nice tutorials and explanations
But the sad part is that I don’t even have Nintendo Switch :(
I've been resetting for dittos for hours and have yet to find one with more than 4 perfect IVs
Did u finish the game yet?
No Subs, No Vids, No Friends, No Life. Yup. 30+ 5* dittos and none are 5IV
@@ronin9450 Same, me and friend of mine tried for 5-6 hours and only got a good 4iv ditto... RIP
@@oOKenduOo i have a modest 5 perfect iv
Ooooooooooooooof
DUDE CONGRATS ON 1M
Didn't know you were an Australian citizen, hyped to hear about that haha
Tried this and got 5* on the first try for a Masuda 😂
Awesome tips from you and Blaines, cheers dude 😁
Do you have an extra?
BROOOOOO I RANDOMLY FOUND A RADE WITH HIM LMFAOOOOO i did the friend method you told me and added hella people and I got lucky and found one and caught him thank you man
I likw how austin putted my launguage
Omg this really work and it took me one try lol. Thank very you much.
"Bold of you to assume I have 1 friend."
I have 3 that play the game XD
Wait do you need to play on an account that in a different region or a different language on a local region account
For the foreign save file, you don´t need to get to the wild area, just get the y-comm. It works. Also, if going for competitive shinies, get a male 5iv pokemon egg (save before hatching, reset if 5iv, retry if its not), trade it to a foreign save file, hatch it, trade it back, you now have a 5iv foreign pokemon that can make shinies from two egg groups, and if you use two of the same species, you get eggs faster.
I am so glad my friend has the game too, can't wait to Masuda hunt, hopefully competitive Pokemon ohohoho--
I did one 4 star ditto and two 5 star ditto.
The 4 star one gave me 3IV and the two 5 star ones gave me 4IV.
Actually even most of the 5 star gold pokemons i catch in max raids are 4iv. I dont recall getting a 5iv from one.
My ditto had it’s hidden ability so I went in with a Magicarp only knowing splash and the person who joined had a Flapple and got the hint 😭
Wonderful it’s going great
No...
My internet went out when it happened
I started another
They didn’t get the hint
I want that 1st guy back
😭
I feel you, man..
You are my fav tutorial poketuber
We’re 3 year later this video still 🔥
Are you able to do the pokemon home thing?
