Hey everyone! It's been a little while since the last video! Just a little while though, promise. You don't need to check. Please do not check.
As always, please let me know of any mistakes I made in any of my explanations. Any good correction I see will receive a heart. This video was recorded in real time, so there may even be more mistakes than usual. In fact, I already found one while watching back the video: I said "Pokemon ID" numerous times in this video, when I really meant Pokemon personality values. In the context of the video, it doesn't really change any of the explanations, but it's an important distinction to make.
Also, the deadline for the giveaway is July 10th. Be sure to enter before then if you want that shiny Pokemon! The link for it is in the description!
Ok
how did you comment half an hour before the video was published
Dylan Bilic He can wait to publish, and he could’ve uploaded this video like yesterday and set it to upload now
I had to go through your old videos to figure out who you were :(
...huh, July 10, my bday. Neat.

I don't care, I'm gonna waste an entire afternoon trying to catch a shiny Pokemon using only the information gained from this video anyway
i believe youtuber im a blisy has a video on this that's more of a tutorial.

As a shiny hunter, I’d say this is totally fine, as doing this whole process seems way more mind melting than just hunting one
Sword and shield shiny hunting has nothing to do with the hunting of shinies. The average 1-4 hours you need in USUM are actually quite chilling with their SOS shite. Got my shiny dex with that conpleted after 3 years of hunting.
You could say it’s a new method
....what's a shiny hunter? Do you just run back and forth in some tall grass or other spawn area and pray?
@@HeyImLucious Kinda... Depending on how difficult you want it to be, there's tons of methods and stuff to make it easier, but there's also a great community of people that don't do that for the thrill of RNG
@@HeyImLucious it's either that, or hatching hundreds of eggs.
honestly 11 y/o me would have no issue doing something this convoluted just to get a shiny
i did it in sapphire a few years ago. i did a whole shiny playthrough, was pretty fun.
@@potatistatis6709 Having 4 Shinies before entering the Pokemon League sounds like a fun challenge. I personally have my own challenge: The Pokeball Only Challenge(You can only use Pokeballs to capture pokemon. No Great Balls, No Ultra Balls, No Timer Balls, Only Pokeballs). This challenge caused me to have over 100-200 pokeballs at any given time. Rip Money
@@potatistatis6709 Lol there is a challenge that allows you to get 6 shinies before the champion. It's called Dream Team Quest. I like doing Shiny Badge Quests, one shiny before each gym(rn doing a SS SBQ)
@@GosuAmply I do that too, but more because I think all the other pokeballs are kind of ugly
@@potatistatis6709 20 hours? when i was little i tought that you where suposed to keep ALL your pokemons leveled (since the catchphrase was catch them all and all that) so i spent 40 hours just to get to the second gym cuz i was trying to keep all my pokemons at the same level (which where ALL the ones i could manage to catch and filled an entire PC room)
But i also tought strategy was a toy brand, so i just used wathever and tought that my lvl 20 pokemon was just underleveled for the second gym, so i kept going until i brute forced the gym
Turns out doing that isn't fun and i never finished it
7:03 - Eggs are no longer special as of Generation VIII. Infamously, someone got a shiny Applin through the Masuda Method on their Switch. They had autosave disabled, so they were able to reset to have an unhatched Shiny Applin in an egg, then they traded it to their fiance just before their wedding. Despite what should have happened, the Applin stayed shiny on her save file, which either led or confirmed that egg trading no longer alters if a Pokémon will be shiny or not.
Legend
....or they were just super lucky? Who Knows
We've known this for a while. If an egg would hatch shiny on its original save, it'll hatch shiny in any save.

That Golbat is full odds. That's astoundingly fortunate. Also, that's hilarious.
Reminds me when I got a full odds golbat in gen 2, but no one was shocked about it
My first shiny was a golbat in pkmn sun, it was full odds and I screamed and masterballed it. I lost it a month later and I think it’s gone forever.
You’re on Fire my first shiny was either a Mankey or Alolan ratata i caught them in the same session looking for bagon in the early routes. To this day I never found that bagon.
Sorry to rain on your parade but since he has the shiny charm it's not full odds. Anything that changes shiny odds will take away calling it "full odds"
I'm casual at pokemon.
What is full odds?
Reminds me of the time I tried to RNG a shiny Nincada on Emerald and instead landed on a shiny Abra a few frames ahead of my target.
Did you catch it?
@@CarlosIvanFocus Yeah! Thankfully I was using an emulator so I just made a save state and reloaded every time the Abra tried to teleport away. I also ended up finding that shiny Nincada eventually.
@@sammichu1906 no, he is right. Speaking of third gen, is more difficult to dump a savefile and modify it, or using a gameshark, rather than cheat on an emulator. Also, it's on an eprom, making it eternal
@@michicarone549 It is definitely easier to cheat remorselessly in an emulator, but I try to stay away from that. I use emulators because I no longer own the physical games, and I wanted to do a few things with past games (namely RNG and collecting ribbons). As a result, I had to jump quite the number of hoops (save dumping/injection, flashcards and what have yous), but I eventually managed to get everything from the emulated games into my Pokémon Home account, including the shiny Abra and Nincada I mentioned above.

Everybody: That doesn't make sense
I can't help but find it amazing how the Pokemon community took a confusing algorithm and broke it down into easy to grasp concept like "shiny values". The working out is beautiful too, especially the part about discarding lower bits, which is the part that determines if the resulting value is lower than 16 if all else matches.
Ameto I still don’t get it.
@@5ashll303 which part is it that you don't get?
@@theicyphoenix1063 probably the whole thing
Honestly that's not the impressive part; it's not intuitive at first glance but you could figure that out after thinking about it for a while. Bitwise operators are more complicated than they sound.
The real impressive part is the program that finds out the seed from the clock frames. How they even figured that out, let alone how they actually applied it to figure out all random events, is beyond me.
This may just be me but, the original method doesn't seem all that confusing 😅

"This is not a tutorial."
Oh, are you challenging me?
3:50 5th point is that in Sword and Shield, the RNG is actually _encrypted_; meaning there's no reliable way to abuse it (because we can't actually see what's going on in there)
there _is_ Raid Den RNG Abuse, but as was pointed out, you need someone with external software to take advantage of it (but from there it's quite easy, all you need is to know the Raid Seed)
Gamefreak really went out of their way to protect their games this time, since encryption is actually why we didn't know about Zarude earlier despite being in the code!
You can figure out your individual raid den rng seed by doing the den reset date change exploit and noting the pokemon given, raid difficulty and the IVs it has on capture like 5 or 6 times. The program will then dig through the predictions of the RNG once it finds the seed and spit out how many den resets you will need to do to get the desired value

“Let’s Abuse RNG to get a Shiny”
Yes, that’s how it works
I love how casual this is, it's so much fun to watch!! You keep making these videos, and I'll keep sharing it around!
This video gave me flashbacks to setting up my Platinum Cute Charm game, that took days. Totally worth it though! I might have to give this a try, it looks painful but rewarding. Awesome video, you have a really good voice for this sort of thing.
Hey, so you're style really came out in this video. Definitely one of your best I reckon, and your cadence felt perfect. Sounds like the nonfic style class helped. Great video!
Gen 7 footage always brings me back to the good times.
I really love Alola and especially Nihilego.
And Team Skull, yo.
"greatball then, break out of this!"
Dugtrio: breaks out
:O
There is a program for SwSh that you report your catches on raids and can get your seed for shiny raids with no modification (you do have to use the time skip glitch to go ahead some days in game).
“The game is still receiving updates.”
Me: Oh how I wish that were true.
I started chuckling when he caught the shiny golbat
brings back memories when i used to RNG abuse Gen IV and Gen V
it feels so nice to get it right, like your effort has paid off of learning how the RNG works in the game
using EonTimer on the continue menu and Chatot Chatters to advance the frames back then
this is really cool. i never thought i would be able to understand like anything at all when it came to this sorta stuff bc i thought it would be hard to understand but this video was surprisingly easy to follow
This sort of thing that happened to you kinda happened to me TODAY. I was looking for Razor Fangs on wild Bruxish in my Ultra Moon game, and fished in the same spot over and over again. Wishiwashi, no...Wishiwashi, no...Wishiwashi, no...Magikarp, no..., Wishiwash-
*ding*
O_O
*Level Ball*
Congrats!
It took me 437 encounters in my chain to get a Shiny Wishiwashi, they look great!
What did you name yours?
Whoah, this stuff really interests me. I never knew the way shinies are calculated would be done like that, I figured it was just a whole bunch of random numbers and then also heard it involves the trainer ID. It's also interesting how the resulting bits just have to be less than 16, because that still just gives you a single value that you can change to alter the odds as you see fit, without changing the algorithm that's finding the value to be compared with it.
OFF shiny hunter? hello new friend
I felt so bad laughing at the Golbat, but I'm glad you got what you wanted. I love the tech info!
Such a great video. Really love the way you explain it all without going crazy intense. Really looking forward to watching more content from you. But for now looks like I will just watch your previous videos, join the contest to maybe get that shiny, and check out the twitters!!
I taught myself all this back when you mentioned it in the last video, but sadly had no luck. Reading the clock hands gave me an error half the time, and the eontimer just seemed to do whatever it wanted; setting itself for a time completely off from what I was putting in, which in turn would increase every time I tried redoing it. Doesn't help that the beeping completely threw my timing off. Trying to adjust didn't help at all, as the calculator would claim I was anywhere from a few frame to an entire minute off the target. Ended up just giving up and going about it the old-fashioned way :/
Oh, and let me explain the shiny charm real quick: the game generates a new PID for your pokemon every frame. If you have the shiny charm, those PIDs are held for three frames instead of one. You'll notice in the calculator that there's always a cluster of three frames with identical values, no matter what you look at.
Even though it isn't a guide, I feel like this video is basically "How to catch a shiny if you aren't a masochist"
I watched another video of yours earlier today and realized it was awhile since you posted and was really hoping you didn't stop making video. You make really good videos and I'm glad your back
This is a nice, simplified, and enjoyable video showing RNG manipulation :D the beeping reminded me of the many nights I stayed up RNGing shinies in Emerald lol
I'm more of a shiny breeder myself, I managed to get 2 shinies through eggs this week but now I have a cramp at my thumb from turning the joystick for too long. And I still don't want to try this because numbers scare me. So I'm off to hatch another 200 Goomies, if you don't mind...
His voice sounds a lot like Drew Gooden
holy shit you're right
I had to listen to it back but yeah I can hear it. I think it's less the voice and more the enuciation? They have very similar ways of speaking even if Drew's voice is higher in pitch.
I've been RNG manipulating White version and have my dream team all shinied out with perfect stats. It's definitely worth looking into, especially if you're someone who's short on time and can't reset many times for Pokemon. The processes involved in RNG manipulation are tedious and frustrating at times, but it's worth it.
Glad to have a new video. Great work on this one and hope quarantine is treating you well.

title: exploting RNG to capture a shiny pokemon
Me: WOOOOOO
Shiny hunting is so easy in S/M even without rng manipulation. I do think it's cool though.
I was once messing around grabbing dittos to breed shit with and found a rando shiny cleffa.
I fucking RAN from it before my brain had processed any facts other than "not a ditto".
Long story short I SoS chained cleffas out of internalized anger for... like an hour and a half or so until a shiny happiny popped, I called it a win, and left. Honestly, shiny hunting in newer Pokemon isn't THAT time consuming. (My fave shiny hunting came out of ORAS tho. Easy. ORAS was also better for egg hatching. I mean really it was just overall a better game too, so there's that.)
@@valkyrie-randgris Me and a friend on amino were hunting eevees. I didn't even have a shiny charm, and I got the shiny first.
Wait, you guys are getting shiny’s?
In Moon I got shiny Eevee and Charjabug before my brother lost my cartridge.
In Alpha Sapphire I got Destiny the Feebas in chain fishing, Vortex the Ralts and Ignite the Vulpix via DexNav chains, and Lor the Duskull who was the first in his chain, so he was nearly random. I also got Bella the Oddish and Bubbles the Azumarill via Horde encounters.
3DS games just had really good Shiny methods tbh (except for XY’s version of the PokeRadar, I hated trying to use that nightmare)
I love how relatable and informative you are. I hope you have a great day!
As a late FYI, you can't *manipulate* SwSh RNG AFAIK, but you can use it to your advantage. Here's how.
1. Find a raid den with your desired 'mon in it. It can be any raid den, just make sure you know which one it is.
2. Set the text speed to slow.
3. If the den already has a beam, do the raid battle then save. Once you have, throw in a Wishing Piece and check if the beam is purple - if it isn't, immediately exit the game, reopen it and repeat until the beam is purple.
3. Save the game again once you've got your purple beam.
4. Get programs like Raid Finder and Seed Searcher, then input which den you're at and which game you're playing into both (make sure you've set the beam to Rare).
5. Use the date skip glitch to advance to frame 4, and catch a 'mon from the den with 2 or 3 perfect IVs. Seed Searcher will tell you which have 2-3IV. If you don't find one, reset and skip back to frame 4 - the 'mons are randomised so you'll find one eventually.
6. Once you've caught your 2-3IV 'mon, use RaidFinder's IV calculator to calculate its IVs, and then put in its IVs, nature, ability and characteristic to Seed Searcher.
7. Seed Searcher will then tell you to find a 'mon with 2 or 3 IVs on frame 4 again - repeat 5 and 6 for this.
8. Once 5-7 is complete, do the same process as 5-6, but on frame 5 and 6 with any 'mon.
9. Hit "Search" in Seed Searcher. It should then give you the seed of the den.
10. Put the seed into RaidFinder, then apply the filters you want (IVs, nature, ability, star/square shiny).
11. Give RaidFinder an appropriate range of frames to search (I pick 0-10,000 usually), then hit "Search".
12. RaidFinder will tell you which (if any) frames in that range have the parameters you gave it - you can now skip to that frame and catch it
I don't count this as RNG manipulation because you can't control which frames the mons you want appear on, but its still a really cool technique for RNG abuse that has netted me some nice shiny Gmaxes.
I like how there "Tech Rules Bits" videos are very long

"error of margin". ^_^ you're wonderful.
"u should watch anyways because ... I DUNNO PLS"
This was a lot funnier than I expected it to be - really great watch nonetheless!
Ayyy I caught a shiny Golbat in Crystal a few months ago, just level grinding in Victory Road.
Very interesting and informative video. Thanks for bringing us on this journey with you!
One tiny little thing I'd like to be pedantic about though, is you say something like, "Maybe the Shiny Charm just makes clusters of Shiny Frames, and that's how it increases your odds..."
I don't think that's how probability works. I am pretty sure there is some law that states that "clustering" things together doesn't make them more or less likely to occur. You see this fallacy a lot in, say, Monopoly, where people think if they buy a whole bunch of properties that are right next to each other, their opponents will be more likely to land on them. In actuality, your friend who has the same amount of properties scattered all over the board is just as likely to have you land on his property.
In the case of Shiny Frames, I think clustering them together would only increase your odds if you are specifically aiming for them--because it gives you a wider margin of error. If, like most players, you are just randomly encountering Pokemon and hoping for a shiny, then the only way the Shiny Charm could help is by increasing the number of Shiny Frames--clustering them together wouldn't make a difference.
He was saying that's probably how that game processes it, not how probability in general works.
Very interesting! Didnt know this, as shiny hunter
6:46 actually in a datamine in SwSh, this was proven false. The egg is determined to be shiny or not as soon as it's made.
I think this is an 8th gen change to specifically address egg trading.
Usually takes me weeks for a shiny, 2h is pretty sweet! Nice video, I won't manipulate rng, but there is a great satisfaction to watch the inner work of the game
9:08 "simple right?

I remember going through my second playthrough of leafgreen back in around 2016. I found a blue ditto on victory road and was like "haha why is this blue maybe it's a boy" and caught it. I didn't even know what shiny was at that time. I've never had any shiny interactions since then
Will you do another video about the process of consoles being hacked, like the xbox 360 or any other console?
Modern Vintage Gamer has very good coverage on how people break the security of consoles
Aye sick, you're back. Hope you've been okay during quarantine
When researching this myself, as a shiny hunter and not a mathematician, reading the algorithm in isolation didn’t help me but in the end I was just happy to know exactly which values I was re-rolling for.
I've been playing Pokemon as long as I can remember and I've never once caught a shiny(unless I did when I was like 9 I accidentally deleted my Pokemon Y save, so I wouldn't know). I need a shiny in my life.
"A quick video, you say..." Says me as I stare at the almost 28 minutes.
Hey, that's 15 minutes shorter than morst videos!
Your fear of the mushroom copyright kingdom and your personality earned a sub
This was a fascinating video! I had no idea how complex the RNG was in this game, and how amazing it is that people cracked the code. However, just a minor critique - the algorithm explanation was a bit convoluted, and took me a couple listens to understand what you were trying to convey.
Bur considering this was recorded in real time, the explanation was impressive regardless.
Just IMO, but I wouldn’t use the phrase “made up algorithm” - it’s more correct to say it’s an equivalent algorithm, since checking if XOR’ing two values is > 16 (I.e. only the first 4 bits are potentially different) is mathematically the same thing as bit shifting right by 4 and checking if they’re equal.
Gen3 would be easiest Emereld is busted. I think there is a person here on TH-cam who focus on this aspect named I'm a Blissy.
All the gen 3 and 4 games are easy to RNG in, it's just that emerald's rng seed is set to 0 so it will always do the same frame order from startup
"A Trainy Shiner" haha
I've been shiny hunting for years, and while this hunt is waaaaay shorter than some, it's also significantly longer than others. I appreciate the hilarious amount of effort that went into this, lol
Idk why but this video makes me happy n I liked ur FNAF and Baldi videos so I’ll subscribe!!! Keep doin your thing!!
I've never done any of this RNG stuff but lately I've been playing a lot of Pokemon Crystal (Japanese) and I forgot how much fun it is, I'm gonna have to keep on grinding though to beat Red xD
I always tell my friends rng isn't a bad thing, it just takes genius level work to use it based on the circumstances. And as you clearly display, this is a very long process that no normal person would want to do just to beat rng, but it still proves my point.
ive done rng abuse in hgss and i gotta say, its much faster to determine your seed: you can use prof. elm or juggler irwin phone calls and the roamers' locations. in dppt you can use the coin flip app. i think its fun that they seem to always add a feature that works as a seed checker
Took me 6.5 hours of manual hunting to get a shiny alolan Vulpix and probably 10-12 hours to breed a shiny noibat (I didn't have a shiny charm which might have helped). It's a lot of work but 2.5 hours to get any shiny you want is a huge time save!
