It still annoys me how Sword & Shield had visible Pokémon in the main areas, and yet the Shiny Pokémon are never visible until you run into one. And what makes this worse is that the Let's Go games, which keep in mind, were released roughly a year before the Gen VIII games were released, had Pokémon visible in the main areas, INCLUDING Shiny Pokémon.
given how many encounters there are in swsh I honestly prefer having to encounter them. Unless they ended up doing more of a sv encounter system which even then isn't great and was hoping would have been more like swsh when the game first came out.
The overworld spawns were last minute additions actually. Gf saw how much we liked overworld pokemon in lgpe so they brought it back last minute. Unfortunately that meant no shinys
@@Solokeys-g7o But they could've added the Shinies in the overworld via a patch or an update. Hell, the DLC could've been the answer to allowing us to see Shinies in the overworld.
@@OmnicidalClown1992 as much as I agree with you, there are tons of people that prefer encountering them until one is shiny because of the surprise. And I can understand that to a degree and I only nitpick swsh’s overworld encounters because I think it’s dumb how every Pokémon looks the same but you bump into one and all of a sudden it’s a different colour in battle than when you saw it in the overworld.
@@sleazymeezy lol I didn’t mean to come off like that. I know how infuriating it was to sit through 8k odds back in the day bc I was there. I stopped playing Pokémon as years went on and kids at school moved to call of duty and Xbox/ps. But i am glad they dropped the odds for newer players, there’s always the good ol soft reset that can’t be boosted
Well, considering that he probably wasn’t going to use that Dubwool for the rest of the journey anyway due to its Normal typing, so it probably wouldn’t have mattered.
I think both John and purplecliff has the same problem when it comes to their sc&vi playthoughs or challenges since both of them have some issues with finding some shines since most of them barely change like the wooloo In the video
unless you're complaining that the modern odds are too high (they are) shiny pokemon aren't special anymore (you cant really suck at hunting though, its pure luck)
Hey John, I have been diagnosed with ADHD and DMDD for 6 years now, I have a hard time still wanting to live and your videos helped me out so I wanna say thank you ❤❤❤❤❤
I actually caught a full odds shiny kommo-o because it’s one of my favourite Pokémon I was just doimg it for fun u tik I found it and I was so happy :)
Remember when shinies used to be rare with extreme odds of finding it? Yea thats what made a shiny feel great. Now everyone and their grandma wants and gets one easily
I still remember two shinies I caught in Shield. I had made a new save because I was waiting for Shining Pearl to arrive and said “Oh hey a Stunky, I could use one for my team!” And the very first one I encountered was a shiny. The other time, I was in the crown tundra and going up a river and accidentally hit a Basculin and of course it was shiny, it knew I was rushing to get to another place :^
My first shiny in Sw/Sh was a Morpeko, very early in the playthrough. One spawned at the edge of grass next to a tree on the 1st route they spawn. I had just encountered one for the dex entry, but decided to encounter the one that spawned for the XP. Then bam! Shiny full odds Morpeko. It was a main stay of my team for the playthrough.
I just had my worst fail ever two nights ago - Soul Silver starters, I was only kind of paying attention, and reset on the shiny Cyndaquil. I was able to reclaim it last night, somehow not phasing at all, and both were insanely under odds, but it's my only real fail to date 😢
I knew it! I remember commenting on that video, saying it was a shiny Dubwool. But man people can be rather mean in YT comments sometimes. I got a lot of flak for "lying" when people thought it was normal colored, even made me question if I had seen the shiny or not.
My first Shiny in Sword was a Pheramosma from the Dynamax Adventures and I didn’t even know it was until I saw it had pants and I just violently went “WHY DO YOU HAVE PANTS?!” Then I saw the shiny mark and was extremely happy
Ngl, I'd have missed that too. I really don't care enough about Dubwool to remember which is the shiny and which isn't. Wooloo doesn't have that problem tho. We love Wooloo
It has the same shiny as wooloo. Why would it be hard to remember? Also poor dubwool 😢 I mean, I kinda don’t care for the whole line in general now that swsh is old and most people prefer mareep anyway but I don’t hate wooloo or dubwool.
That was absolute luck. Congratulations on getting zygarde. I hope I can get a shiny zygarde someday. Although with my experience playing dynamax adventures and the fact that I don’t have a shiny dialga when I am over odds with shiny charm after years of grinding and the fact that zygarde is the most difficult boss that you need to be super prepared for or it wipes your whole team in one turn, I’d probably get a shiny zygarde years after legends z-a comes out. (I’m saying years because I have a life and aren’t playing dynamax adventures 24/7 and it’s hard for me to even find the time to do it in the first place.)
I’ve played 100 hours of Pokémon sword and haven’t gotten a single shiny (except from the trade bots) and I played scarlet for probably less then that- and got 3(?) shinies (and more from trade bots)
I'll never understand this. Boosting shiny odds defeats the purpose of what made them valuable to begin with. Making it visible from the overworld makes sense though.
Can someone tell me how to mod ur game and how to reverse it, id like to do it but idk how it doesnt even need to be a detailed way just broad enough for me to try and do myself
Hey so PM7 theirs an ad for a game and it includes a clip of this video and I assume you didn’t consent to that but theirs and ad with your video in it and I just wanted you to be aware of the situation ❤❤❤ I love your vids by the way

I love how you literally missed it around the moment your were mentioning missing one 😂😂
Purplecliffe: don't worry it will hurt forever
I hate it when I miss a shiny especially when it took hours to find it.
hi do you have a shiny stufful ive been trying to find one for 2 days and still cant find one but managed to get a different one im about to give up
@@yoshikagesori sorry no
Do u want to trade me in Pokemon scarlet?
"But their shiny odds were boosted as well"
That's right we're gonna cheat
"But it's for the content!!!"
He wouldn’t last a day in 2000 doing random encounters for 2 weeks straight with 1/8192 odds
@DoctorAlright fr he's a hack. He needs to get a real job. What a chump.
@@sleazymeezy lol I didn’t mean to come off like that. I know how infuriating it was to sit through 8k odds back in the day bc I was there.

@@DoctorAlright 2 weeks is not alot, i took 3 months to find a single shiny with the old odds lol
Does this count as John’s incredible shiny luck or is it actually shiny… unluck?
It’s definitely his shiny luck. He was the one who missed it.
Idk what but I know you and katie are gonna pull a hype shiny fail edit mid video
Well, considering that he probably wasn’t going to use that Dubwool for the rest of the journey anyway due to its Normal typing, so it probably wouldn’t have mattered.
People:spends years finding Shiny Feebas
John: Finds shiny feebas in 1 day
What I would do: transfer it to Pokémon home.
RIP British Lamp chops :(
Hmmm 🤤 lamb chops...
John thought he was Purplecliff for a second
I think both John and purplecliff has the same problem when it comes to their sc&vi playthoughs or challenges since both of them have some issues with finding some shines since most of them barely change like the wooloo In the video
They fixed this is Scarlet and Violet with the cost of our frame-rate lmfao
The hitmontop just spinning at him 😂😂
I can't believe you missed shiny Dubwool! 😡
Love the series and have been wanting a custom Pokemon forever!
Watching him miss that shiny is painful
Not really the odds were boosted
Its ok, he hacked the odds. He deserves the worst luck imaginable.
Only people that suck at hunting complain about the modern odds
unless you're complaining that the modern odds are too high (they are)
shiny pokemon aren't special anymore
(you cant really suck at hunting though, its pure luck)
Boosted odds on a game with doubled odds and celebrating a shine is crazy.
Hey John, I have been diagnosed with ADHD and DMDD for 6 years now, I have a hard time still wanting to live and your videos helped me out so I wanna say thank you ❤❤❤❤❤
Even I missed that one, at least you aren't alone 😂
I actually didn’t see the shiny Dubwool until I saw this short video 😅
Shiny hunting in sword and shield was horrible. I had replayed the game at least 5 times and only had gotten 1 shiny to show for it 💀
Funny enough i actually have done multiple hunts and really the actual method is just bad unless it's high spawn rate or way to boost spawns.
I actually caught a full odds shiny kommo-o because it’s one of my favourite Pokémon I was just doimg it for fun u tik I found it and I was so happy :)
Well, it did look a bit obscured…
John thank you for the shiny luck, just caught a full odds shiny shinx
Remember when shinies used to be rare with extreme odds of finding it? Yea thats what made a shiny feel great. Now everyone and their grandma wants and gets one easily
i got a shiny magikarp on my 12th fish,and the game was borrowed from my friend
I bruh‘d at the shiny Feebas swimming through the air
I still remember two shinies I caught in Shield. I had made a new save because I was waiting for Shining Pearl to arrive and said “Oh hey a Stunky, I could use one for my team!” And the very first one I encountered was a shiny. The other time, I was in the crown tundra and going up a river and accidentally hit a Basculin and of course it was shiny, it knew I was rushing to get to another place :^
Congratulations on 1M
Me over here wondering how dusk lycanroc spawned:
My first shiny in Sw/Sh was a Morpeko, very early in the playthrough. One spawned at the edge of grass next to a tree on the 1st route they spawn. I had just encountered one for the dex entry, but decided to encounter the one that spawned for the XP. Then bam! Shiny full odds Morpeko. It was a main stay of my team for the playthrough.

What mod is this? I want to do what you did in the video.
Dubwool was my first shiny in sword and shield
If I’m being honest… I would’ve missed it too 😂
How to make them visible? Like how do u mod? Will u ever do a tutorial or is there one out there?
To be fair, I didn't realize the Dubwool was shiny until the editor circled it lol
I have a theory that when Pokemon changed to 3D they switched Leafeon's normal and shiny sprites and no one noticed.
How many shinies has he failed in that video, both over world and in battle
I knew it! I remember commenting on that video, saying it was a shiny Dubwool. But man people can be rather mean in YT comments sometimes. I got a lot of flak for "lying" when people thought it was normal colored, even made me question if I had seen the shiny or not.

Rip shiny soccer ball
I have been playing Pokemon for TWO YEARS, and have not seen a single shiny
Shiny wooloo is arguably the cleanest
"in pokemon sword and shield shiny pokemon are almost impossible to find"
who's gonna tell him about pre gen 6 shiny hunting
Thankfully it was just a Dubwool.
YOUR TURNING INTO PURPLECLIFFE😂
You are the best at Pokémon shiny hunting but can you do a timing challenge to get 6 shiny
1: rip shiny dubwool
2: rip johns luck
I'm down for making them visible in the overworld, but boosting the odds just feels dirty.
Ngl, I'd have missed that too. I really don't care enough about Dubwool to remember which is the shiny and which isn't.
Wooloo doesn't have that problem tho. We love Wooloo
It has the same shiny as wooloo. Why would it be hard to remember?
Also poor dubwool 😢
I mean, I kinda don’t care for the whole line in general now that swsh is old and most people prefer mareep anyway but I don’t hate wooloo or dubwool.
@@THGMR-ox7sd again, I just don't care enough about Dubwool to remember the shiny. I kinda forgot it even existed until I saw this short
How do you Mod the Pokémon games?
Thank god I wasn’t the only one who saw it
I thought he skipped the dubwool on purpose 😂
He missed the Dubwool!
Legend arceus not only have overworld shinies. They even notify you. So as long as you don't miss a shiny in legend arceus it's okay.
Sword/Shield and Scarlet/Violet are polar opposites when it comes to shiny hunting
Only time I get shinies in swsh is Dynamax adventures
I know this dude did not just say pretty bad with 4000 😂😂 back in my day
reminds me when mikey missed that shiny magnemite
As a shiny hunter sword and shield was awful other than the dlc raids. I breed thousands of eggs in that game.....
Dubwool was my first shiny so I get to say the you sir are a Gumby goof!!
I kind of wish they kept the shiny jingle for scarlet and violet
I found a Shiny zubat in pokemon heart gold
Why is bro so exited the odds are boosted. That’s like being stoaked to get wonder traded a cheated in shiny legendary.
dang it john
I love how he doesn’t leave you to watch the full vid like other shorts creators
How are the shiny odds bad in this game I caught a shiny Zygarde in the crown tundra or maybe it was just luck
Pokémon from Dynamax Adventures have significantly boosted odds. 1/300 normally and 1/100 if you have the Shiny Charm.
That was absolute luck. Congratulations on getting zygarde.
I hope I can get a shiny zygarde someday.
Although with my experience playing dynamax adventures and the fact that I don’t have a shiny dialga when I am over odds with shiny charm after years of grinding and the fact that zygarde is the most difficult boss that you need to be super prepared for or it wipes your whole team in one turn, I’d probably get a shiny zygarde years after legends z-a comes out. (I’m saying years because I have a life and aren’t playing dynamax adventures 24/7 and it’s hard for me to even find the time to do it in the first place.)
I found a full odds shiny Blipbug in Shield once! :D
Omg wait I’m so blind I missed it 2 💔
I’ve played 100 hours of Pokémon sword and haven’t gotten a single shiny (except from the trade bots) and I played scarlet for probably less then that- and got 3(?) shinies (and more from trade bots)
How are you playing a mod? Does it have to be an emulator on pc? Or can you on the switch?
I watched this video at least 10 times fr
The P in PM7 stands for Purplecliff
how do u get this mod?
Was shiny seismitoad teasing belibolt?
I caught my first shiny while making a item farm team with Galarian Meowth
How do you get modes
Huh that’s strange because on the first day I played Pokémon shield I came across a shiny chewtle on Route 2 😂 I guess it was luck
Full odds ohmygod my first shiny
I randomly found a shiny metapod in wild area
On lake of outrage i think
How do u make that u can see the shiny Pokémon
Sinnoh hunt vid when?
That was Dubwool?! I thought it was Obstegoon
How do you do this?
Dude is so spoiled with the increased odds saying 1/4096 is awful. Remember when they used to be 1/8192 Gen 5 or older?
the one true way, the only way to hunt is with 1/8192 odds. anything else isn't real shiny hunting
@@TsukiStuffs I disagree. Complaining about increased odds is just spoiled behavior. They’re still pretty low odds.
I enjoy swsh vids
“Almost impossible to find” bro just say you duck at shiny hunting 😂
was feebas
that FISH looking thing supposed to be on land?
What mod is it?
I'll never understand this. Boosting shiny odds defeats the purpose of what made them valuable to begin with. Making it visible from the overworld makes sense though.
How to mod?
One time i got a shiny rookidee! But I got button happy and murdered it…
Can someone tell me how to mod ur game and how to reverse it, id like to do it but idk how it doesnt even need to be a detailed way just broad enough for me to try and do myself
Bro s&s has the best shiny methods in all of Pokemon.
To be fair it was behind multi other pokemon
Poor shiny dubwool
How do you get mods on Pokémon sword or shield
Please make a not increased odds challenge
