Phase Shift sticker lets you hit ghosts, each AP Starter gives you one AP (stacking) at the start of a fight, 10 AP moves tend to be super powerful, and a ~40 level difference means the ghosts never stood a chance.
Just take a Khepri, give it a bunch of random starters, a phaseshifter, and a headshot sticker You will now instantly win anybattle that isn't super level matched
*when the game has a creepypasta literally built into the game* I swear this is one of the best games I've ever seen, and it keeps getting better..!! This is amazing!
Of the hundreds of times that I've run into that shadow, I had zero idea that you could battle it, much less, that it drops that awesome tape! I'm glad that your video was recommended to me! ❤
The first time I saw the black shuck it attacked me and I happened to have a tape with the ability to hit ghosts so I beat it and got the tape. Had no idea how lucky I was until I checked the wiki today.
I shit you not, the first time I fought one it was the first time I ever saw one (at least that I noticed it) it was when I was first about to encounter zed and I hadn't seen it any other time so I just assumed this was a part of the story or something. Needless to say, I was very paranoid whenever I saw one of those after that. It felt like a fever dream 😂
Literally the first black shuck I’ve ran into was the encounter! I had almost no way to hit it so I had to resort to using ionised air on my opponent, then myself, and then attacking myself with electric moves to do damage. Creativity pays off!
@@reapertheabsol0359 If you're doing a nuzlocke you can keep on the team someone able to hit Ghost and/or to remove Ghostly status. That was the last resort to win the fight without being prepared.
@@jimmyh2137 yeah, if I find a Black Shuck encounter where it actually fights me, I’m making sure I have an Astral Cat-5 in my party (I always have all Cat-5s unless helping Hoylake).
That's an interesting way to interpret it. Though, according to Wiktionary the name of the folkloric creature "Shuck" derives from the Old English word "sċucca" meaning evil spirit or devil.
Dude I saw this thing once and forgot all about it until now, my God. At the time, I remember thinking "wait, what the fuck, was that a plot thing," but apparently nope, it's an easter egg encounter. Cool.
Im done with the game, at lvl 200, completed all non-repeatable quests and only left 3 achievements on steam that i have yet to complete. I only ever saw this once and i though i saw wrong or it was a glitch.
Bro I got the 1% on my first try, and it was over an edge so I just thought it was a hella hard npc there, so Ive always avoided that corner LMAO Thats crazy
I saw this multiple times, but I didn’t realize that it had a 1% chance of engaging combat, let alone their tape having an auto astral convert on top of the guaranteed recording
I've seen this thing twice in the overworld so far but it hasn't battled me. I've got a Bootleg Astral Southpaw w/ Phase Shift and I've been contemplating replacing my old Southpaw with it so I can hit ghosts and potentially fight Black Shuck when it ever decides to battle me.
I think the 1% chance check happens when you get within a certain distance of Black Shuck (though I have not confirmed this). It's probably about the distance at which the chase/reaction mini-cutscene happens at 00:28. You can try save scumming and see if that works. I'm not fully sure if it will work, but it's definitely worth a try. If you get it to work, let me know!
Does the shuck show up on the map as an unidentified signal? I only stumbled into one once but it just disappeared.... P.S. what if you used the black shuck's tape on a nowhere Pesant? (Also, thank you for making videos like these! The need more attention ❤)
Black Shuck does not have any icon on the map that shows where it is. You have to just wander around and hope you find it. (Though I made a PC mod that adds a map icon for it so you can see where it spawned) That's a great question! I tested out using the Black Shuck Tape on Nowhere Peasant and it not only successfully captures Nowhere Peasant, but also turns it into an Astral bootleg (same sprite, but different typing). See this short for a recording of it: th-cam.com/users/shortsw0YLEh-faHo I'm glad you like the videos!
Oh... I don't download mods unless it's from the steam workshop; do you know if cassette beasts will have steam workshop open for them? Oh sweet, That adds more uniqueness/costumisablity to the critter! I'll be waiting for the next upload! ^v^
@americanratwoman668 For Cassette Beasts, the modding community hosts all their mods on Mod Workshop. modworkshop.net/game/cassette-beasts I don't think they have any plans currently to host them on the Steam Workshop.
I’ve played this game religiously since launch and haven’t figured out that you can battle the merchants husk. Also if anyone knows how to open the chest on Mt Wirral please tell me. I’ve tried everything I can come up with. It’s the chest just under the cliff that Captain Codey stands on.
It seems very rare. I'm almost done with my first playthrough and only encountered it once. As the above video states however, all but 1% of the time it simply disappears, meaning you have to be quite thorough to even provoke a battle from it. Sooo about once in a 100 playthroughs if that sample size is to mean anything.
I think Black Shuck's level is determined at least in part by the location you encounter it (and maybe the player's level?). Unfortunately it is not possible to capture any enemies in the Black Shuck fight.
hey man could you please tell me the stickers you have on the triphinx please? it looks op and i need something really strong that doesn’t kill on turn 0 lmao
It should be able to happen on Switch. Finding Black Shuck in the overworld can be somewhat rare (mainly due to the fact that it does not have a map icon).
Black Shuck appears randomly throughout New Wirral. The particular area I encountered it in this video is Cherry Meadow. Though there is nothing special about that area in regards to Black Shuck, it can appear in lots of different locations.
Yeah, that's how I interpret it as well. Unfortunately finding and battling Black Shuck is even rarer than finding an astral Traffikrab using a Ritual Candle...
I mean, if you ritual and recycle traffikrab, you gona see an astral one sooner or later. Plus traffickrab is extremely easy to record since its low level and spawn plentiful in the beginning area for you to recycle away.

"They are not typically easy to defeat"
(casually one shots the fight)
seems legit

@@lazybones8962it would have khepri too
When you're at level 143/142 I assume you can cheese a lot of enemies.
I’d assume he means that they are not easy to beat in the sense of either an unexpected confrontation or facing off against your own strategies…

This game so fire and different from any other monster taming game I played.
What a great way to get magikrab!
@PepperoniAMoil yeah that makes sense
How about astral Lobstacle and Weevilite? ;)
@@SupersuMC huh. You know... you could also just evolve a normal tarffikrab and use a ritual candle like that, but I mean nice thought
@@AmericanRatWoman Spoiler!
Evolving an Astral Traffikrab gets you Magikrab.
@@ZirePan There is a way you can farm the black shuck.

It’s a cool strategy, but it’s a risky strategy as well, especially for anyone doing nuzlockes (specifically the “no item” ones).

The funny thing is, the 1% chance battle secret actually happened LITERALLY THE FIRST TIME I EVER ENCOUNTERED THE BLACK SHUCK
"Shuck" may be used with the same definition as "A shuck of corn", meaning this thing's name is basically "Black Husk"
That's an interesting way to interpret it. Though, according to Wiktionary the name of the folkloric creature "Shuck" derives from the Old English word "sċucca" meaning evil spirit or devil.
Looked away for a couple of seconds and looked back at the end.... 😅
I'm so glad i got this recommended, black shuck appeared for me the first time recently and i thought i was going insane 😂
Dude I saw this thing once and forgot all about it until now, my God. At the time, I remember thinking "wait, what the fuck, was that a plot thing," but apparently nope, it's an easter egg encounter. Cool.
Really cool! Was wondering what this shadow was
Im done with the game, at lvl 200, completed all non-repeatable quests and only left 3 achievements on steam that i have yet to complete. I only ever saw this once and i though i saw wrong or it was a glitch.
This could be useful to get magikrab as it evolves from astral bootleg traffikrab
I wonder if it's an archangel since it's based on an actual creature from folklore
khepri is much the same
perhaps a third thing?
@@genmaicha_ oh wait your right, dang its just a total mystery as to what it is then
Black Shuck is a real myth, but it has little to do with a doppleganger. It supposedly looks like a black dog with red eyes.
Bruh I remember very well seeing Black Shuck hit it disappeared and I was just like "wut?"
Yeah, Black Shuck as a mechanic does a great job of sticking in your head.
I’ve seen this thing so many times, it always vanished though, I just assumed it was a glitch. I had no idea you could battle it.
ohhh now i get wtf that was i was just scared by it lmao
Whoa what! I've been chasing this thing around for ages and never had this happen!
Huh, at least now I can get my Astral Jourmangold like I want.
Bro I got the 1% on my first try, and it was over an edge so I just thought it was a hella hard npc there, so Ive always avoided that corner LMAO Thats crazy
when i encountered them for the first time
i became very paranoid for a while and couldn't shut up about it
I saw this multiple times, but I didn’t realize that it had a 1% chance of engaging combat, let alone their tape having an auto astral convert on top of the guaranteed recording
I've seen this thing twice in the overworld so far but it hasn't battled me. I've got a Bootleg Astral Southpaw w/ Phase Shift and I've been contemplating replacing my old Southpaw with it so I can hit ghosts and potentially fight Black Shuck when it ever decides to battle me.
While travelling through New world I have never seen those shadowy version of my character before I just think that's strange you know
wow thanks, I always encounter it but never battle ><
wanted to know what it is
I saw that once! It just poofed away.
so this is another method of getting magicrab
I'm curious if this has anything in common with the Shadow Lenna?
I’ve never seen this in game i do only have 15 hours though!
How do you manage to damage a ghost type monster though?
You either need a skill that lets you damage ghosts, or you can use the skill New Leaf to remove their ghost status.
@@zombehnashun which skills damage ghosts? Sorry for the question lol
You could also damage them with poison, burn, or leech
@@littlelavilion9795 It's the passive skill Phase Shift. It allows the monster that has this effect to damage ghosts with any moves it knows.
You can also damage them if they hit you while you have contact damage, though that's pretty unreliable
Hello! I was wondering if the 1% occurs on spawn or once encountered? Just to know if I can save scum until they battle me
I think the 1% chance check happens when you get within a certain distance of Black Shuck (though I have not confirmed this). It's probably about the distance at which the chase/reaction mini-cutscene happens at 00:28. You can try save scumming and see if that works.

I’ve only found the black shuck twice

Shoudve caught the nowhere peasnt with that
I made a video of that. Check out my shorts page to see it.
Was it really necessary to give it a 1% chance? It's already rare and hard to fight (at low levels) per se, such a low chance is almost an insult.
I've never encountered the "black shuck" can someone tell me how rare it is?
It seems very rare. I'm almost done with my first playthrough and only encountered it once. As the above video states however, all but 1% of the time it simply disappears, meaning you have to be quite thorough to even provoke a battle from it. Sooo about once in a 100 playthroughs if that sample size is to mean anything.
I've encountered it several times, but it disappeared every time
I've seen it twice in about 80 hours.
does it copy your whole team or only your 2 active mons?
It copies your whole team.
@@ExcaliburZero0thanks, very good to know
On my first day playing this game I found the shadow and it attacked me :[
Good for easy magikrab!
Hmmm....i have an idea...lemme just get my traffikrab rq.
Cool but, I have 2 questions. 1. Is it always level 105 2. can you capture the enemies helper ex the Gumbaal
I think Black Shuck's level is determined at least in part by the location you encounter it (and maybe the player's level?).
Unfortunately it is not possible to capture any enemies in the Black Shuck fight.
@@ExcaliburZero0 Thanks for the info!
THIS IS HOW TO GET MAGICRAB-
hey man could you please tell me the stickers you have on the triphinx please? it looks op and i need something really strong that doesn’t kill on turn 0 lmao
It has an Energy Wave with a few attributes (including "Critical hit on type advantage"), Phase Shift, and 4 AP Starters.
@@ExcaliburZero0 thanks man
‘It uses an astral version of your team’
*Me with a Weevilite, Miasmodeus and Palangolin*
anyone know if this can happen on switch? I've put in around 50 hours and havent seen it
It should be able to happen on Switch. Finding Black Shuck in the overworld can be somewhat rare (mainly due to the fact that it does not have a map icon).
can you record black shulks astral bootlegs?
Nope, since the battle with Black Shuck counts as battling a person, their monsters are not recordable.
wait where is this?
I've never seen it before
Black Shuck appears randomly throughout New Wirral.
The particular area I encountered it in this video is Cherry Meadow. Though there is nothing special about that area in regards to Black Shuck, it can appear in lots of different locations.
Hmm... I guess this is how the game intends for you to get Magikrab then. All other methods rely too much on RNG.
Yeah, that's how I interpret it as well. Unfortunately finding and battling Black Shuck is even rarer than finding an astral Traffikrab using a Ritual Candle...
I mean, if you ritual and recycle traffikrab, you gona see an astral one sooner or later. Plus traffickrab is extremely easy to record since its low level and spawn plentiful in the beginning area for you to recycle away.
This is the worst way to get Magikrab. Ritual candles are so much easier.
fake?
Nope, this is an actual thing that can occur in-game. It is pretty rare, though.
@@ExcaliburZero0 wow
