I'm always happy to see successful shiny starter hunts! It gives me hope that I'll see my Turtwig sparkle soon (5195 resets, 177 hours, 1 shiny starly seen and counting)!
5:49 Here we can see how a human being can turn into a chicken by the sheer amazement of finding a shiny after hours of soft resetting. Truly a marvelous sighting that'll go down in the Pokemon science books for years
I feel this to such a high extent. I'm going for a shiny Piplup, and I started hunting on Christmas Day. My switch says I've played 150+ hours, and I'm currently 3,950 resets in. Not even a shiny Starly yet. I've gotten nothing. I'm going insane- I have begun to hear colours.
I’m at 5800 resets for a shiny Turtwig on Platinum, and my hunt has been going for 100+ hours. I hope the lower odds don’t screw me over, but your video gives me hope! Thank you Update: It finally shined after 6323 soft resets! 3/22/22
@@robertussin005 but if you can breed Pokémon (like you can in all modern games) and every generated Pokémon has a 1/X chanse to be shiny. Then Pokémon can be shiny-hunted by breeding them
@@algotkristoffersson15 well for me, it’s also about doing different kinds of hunts. I’m not very interested in hatching a bajillion eggs unless it’s a special egg. I like starter resets, fossil hunts, safari zone, etc
I remember watching several streams, trying to catch the one where you got the turtwig, and I missed it because of a band contest :(. Congrats on the shiny!
As someone who's currently at 4025 resets and resetting at this moment for Turtwig in Brilliant Diamond, it's such a pain. At least you got one. Congrats!
I went through all of these emotions as I was shiny hunting my Dialga. The part about the need to continue after wasting too much time already or thinking that my copy of the game is just shiny locked for unexplainable reasons was me before 3400 resets to finally get that shiny.
I remember hearing a streamer say "It's a special moment when you get your first Shiny." Which got to me, because I've never gotten one aside from Red Gyaryados in Gold and Crystal.
If it makes you feel any better, my only legit shiny was a shiny magikarp I randomly fished up in gen 6 when everyone gets that shiny Gyarados for free lol
My first shiny was a green Cubone in FireRed in 2012. At the time I didn't even know about shinies, but I catch it anyway and green Marowak was a valuable team member who carried me and my Charizard all the way to Hall of Fame. But then I haven't catch or even seen a legitimate not-guaranteed shiny for many years, until pink Castform in Pokemon GO in 2019.
I did this hunt, going into it thinking it'd be "easy" (I did not do any research..) and boy oh boy was I wrong, but after 20 hours I knew I couldn't give up. Took me 80 hours to get my shiny monkey. BUT I DID IT, this video gave me the strength knowing others have suffered this fate.
I’ve never shiny hunted a starter, nor taken more than like 40 minutes to shiny hunt. I rage quit after that amount of time… I really admire the dedication put into this.
God I feel this. I got about 150 hours hunting for a shiny piplup, and eventually my wife went in and saved with just a regular piplup so I would be able to start the game lol
I remember an Emerald Version playthrough where I got legitimately random: 2 Shiny Poochyena's and those where my first Shinies other then the guaranteed Red Gyarados in Silver Version.
I've been watching you for around 7 years now, and it makes me so happy to see that you've grown so much since then. Your content is better than it ever was before, and even though you don't upload often, when you do it always makes my day. Thank you for existing
You are the shining example of why you shouldn't soft reset for a shiny starter (in BDSP!) I'm happy that you finally got one! I watched you play when you where in your first few hundred, so I had a feeling that it was going to take a while. Thanks for all the time you put into it!
Seeing my friends little sister playing Pokémon on the Switch made me feel like a boomer at 23. "Well, back in my day, Pokémon games were in black and white" "What?" 😂
Man, I feel this in my soul. I've been shiny hunting in my Pokemon X game for a shiny fenniken for about 1,000 resets but then shiny hunting for the squirtle you also get and I've been on it for a long time, I've lost count of how many resets and hours I've spent on it.
Congrats on your shiny! Though I'm not very interested in the change of color for the gen 4 starter shinies, it is still satisfying to watch people get it after an extremely long time.
Aight i have reason to believe you are blessed with shiny powers, because genuinely the minute i clicked on this video, my _own_ shiny hunt in Brilliant Diamond for an shiny chimchar starter (which had gone well over odds at this point) came to an end
I’ve been hunting for a shiny starter in Heartgold and Soulsilver for four years off and on, not a single one has appeared the entire time I pray to have this kind of patience
during one stream I asked lucy for recommendations of a shiny to hunt in my original diamond game because I've always thought the shiny sprites looked great in that game, and she said chatot she will be pleased to know that I have found him. he is my son. I named him william after the stream in which lucy asked me to find him
I feel all of this pain. I decided about a week ago I wanted to actually, y'know, play the game when I got the uncatchable Starly. Kept that save because the Dex now shows I saw the Starly.
honestly i admire the dedication you shiny hunters have i just consider myself lucky if the starter i have is the gender i want and if it isnt i just improvise with the name i was gonna give it
I went looking for a starter hunt stream and found yours because I was suffering looking for my own shiny turtwig and wanted to feel some kind of parasocial solidarity with someone. It also took me like 3 weeks and 3575 resets but I think I found him a day after you found yours (his name is Lemontree) anyway thanks for streaming your pain so I could feel slightly less insane during that endeavor lmao
Here's a little story, recently I've gotten into rom hacks. And once I got around to playing blaze black 2 redux, my starter (snivy) was a shiny. I didn't even soft reset for it. It just happened, the full 1/512 shiny odds of that game just decided to bless me on my first mon. Since blaze black 2 makes the starters hidden ability I was able to storm through the game with a shiny contrary serperior. Very nice
I spent my entire winter break hunting for a Shiny Turtwig, only for me to get a Shiny uncatchable Starly a few days before the break ended. It was the worst defeat in years.
I've been actively hunting for a shiny Yanma in Arceus just to gift it to yah lol. It's rare to find someone around my age that loves Pokémon as much as I do, and since I've had good luck with shinies in Arceus, I thought I'd give that a go while I'm at it.
OOOooooff.... Great job hanging in there! I was at about 450-500 or so resets for my shiny Piplup. Found a shiny starly along the way, too! So I really had an extremely easy time goodness.
Omg I love this, Turtwig was my first ever starter when I played Diamond when I was 7 years old and I resetting for a shiny Turtwig. It took me 2 or 3 days until I got one and I couldn't be more happier with him :)
I was there to witness the moment of the most persistent shiny hunter the world has ever seen getting a shiny turtwig. This will be in the history books
Nicely done, and very lucky. Currently, Brilliant Diamond is my most-played Switch game... but all 285 hours have also gone to hunting Turtwig, at 6,914 resets (and I found *four* Starly thus far). Hoping to get it before Feb. 21, when the Mystery Gifts are no longer available. My brother's hunting Chimchar in Shining Pearl, and he's also around 6k (having found one Starly).
@@shinyhunteralana2297 Thanks. That sounds rough. Between my brother (we're twins, so we've played all the games together) and me, we've completed 39 full-odds hunts (where the only modification can be the shiny charm), and only 8 of those have crossed the 2x mark. Hoping that number doesn't go up to 10.
I found my first ever shiny yesterday after playing pokemon for over a decade! It was a Drifblim in a Distortion but I didn’t have any Pokeballs on me. I went to get some and when I came back, it was gone. Reloaded the save, now the distorsion was gone. Pain. (The reason I had no pokeballs was because I had by mistake put them into the item box while I was emptying my inventory and didn’t realize until it was too late. And I had no materials on me.)
I'm soft resetting for Chimchar. I'm about 110 hours in and at 1,475 if I recall correctly. Gonna name the little darling Razzy after a raspberry. Congrats on your shiny!!! I see people constantly go "why would you do that? A new game came out in the time it took you." I've played the 3 original Sinnoh games and used all 3 starters, why not try with a shiny? I got a shiny mudkip as my starter in Omega Ruby during my second playthrough of Hoenn and it's been the best! Plus my bestie and I are hunting together, she's hunting Turtwig! It's really fun tbh :)
@@kweeniepiez you know that sometimes people prefer challenges over easy hunt? I think soft reseting his starter is more fun since you can litteraly start your adventure with a shiny. If everyone would be doing easier hunts everyone would hunt in the ultra-wormhole from USUL
@@kweeniepiez I prefer starting with the shiny. It's not fun if I catch it in an outbreak or later in the game because then I won't really use it. It's literally up to the individual person what they wanna do. And of course I know I can catch Pokemon that way. As I said, I've played through with all three starters so I figured why not shiny hunt the starter. It's easier for me to do it that way.
@@Sam-xl2xh I honestly couldn't tell ya man. I guess just my ADHD. I leave my game on a lot, forget it exists, see it dim, tap it, then just leave it running so that probably did it ngl 😂
Oh my gosh! Congratulations on your shiny turt!! I got super lucky on my shiny Turtwig, it took around 700 encounters! I didn’t get a shiny starly either! I’m doing a nostalgia team quest, and Turtwig was my first! Hunting Magikarp now for shiny Gyarados!
What an incredible video 👏 I love your artwork and animations! Props on the dedication to getting the shiny! I’m inspired to hunt Chimchar or Turtwig soon 💫
Just from reading the title, I could already feel the pain... Having shiny-unlocked starters can be a good thing, as long as you don't take people's sanity in consideration. And Gamefreak(or ILCA) surely did not.
I’m currently playing Alpha Sapphire and just found what I think is the neatest shiny right now, shiny Magcargo, it’s bright pink! 😁 And the Slugma is silver/grey, which is also pretty neat! 😄 The only other shiny I have caught so far in Alpha Sapphire is a Shiny blue Medicham! 😄
i feel your pain i’m still going for my starter chimchar and it’s killing me to keep going. i truely think my game is bugged but i know it’s not true bc i have found 4 shiny starly. wish me luck and i’m still going to go fro a whole shiny team.
I've spent 160 hours (almost 5700 resets) for Shiny Turtwig and no Shiny Starly. This was my first time shiny hunting I felt like my game was shiny locked and I was about to abandon. I never felt so much joy when I saw the shiny Turtwig my hand couldn't stop shaking
I was watching your stream, left for maybe 5 minutes, and came back to see you'd gotten it in my absence 😭. I did the hunt as well and it ended up taking me 195 hours to get her.
I did the same shiny hunt, except with Shining Pearl. Started the day the game launched, and finally got it the day after Legends Arceus came out. I don’t know how people make a career out of shiny hunting and stay sane, but you have my respect for pulling it off.

You wanna know something funny, two days ago I just found a shiny turtwig without even trying to hunt it
I feel you. I'm at double odds for giratina
I love the shiny turtwig line - it's like a mossy version!
What an incredible video 👏 I love your artwork and animations! Props on the dedication to getting the shiny! I’m inspired to hunt Chimchar or Turtwig soon 💫
Glad you're doing well Candy Evie!
Streaming 100 hours on a game for a single starter.
Yeah that sounds about right
I’ve done nearly 60,000 for a sandslash in black 2. Congratulations
300 hours in for a chimchar that has yet to appear
0:05 don't worry Lucy. I mainly like your content because of your hunts and experiences on GBA and NDS
Seeing this happen live was AMAZING
Just from reading the title, I could already feel the pain... Having shiny-unlocked starters can be a good thing, as long as you don't take people's sanity in consideration. And Gamefreak(or ILCA) surely did not.
8:43 you can still say you got it first!
that is all that matters
@@CandyEvie lol
Your labor for getting your William was 3 weeks long! OMG!! That's why I had a c-section to get my William. It took 5 minutes! LOL
I’m currently playing Alpha Sapphire and just found what I think is the neatest shiny right now, shiny Magcargo, it’s bright pink! 😁
And the Slugma is silver/grey, which is also pretty neat! 😄
The only other shiny I have caught so far in Alpha Sapphire is a Shiny blue Medicham! 😄
Mega?
@@LloomiDreamz oh! That’s a good idea! I think I have that mega stone on a normal (not shiny) Medicham! 😄
Thanks!
You have patience like no other
A true Pokemon Master
Give this woman the respect. Epic af
You found cookie the day i was born
i feel your pain i’m still going for my starter chimchar and it’s killing me to keep going. i truely think my game is bugged but i know it’s not true bc i have found 4 shiny starly. wish me luck and i’m still going to go fro a whole shiny team.
Yo when she geeked out at the shiny turtwig legit cutest thing ever.
You were WAY TOO CALM when William arrived! 😂
Sunken Cost Fallacy at its finest lol. Great content.
You know its gonna be a good day when it's a shiny hunt video!!!
Love your Pokemon videos Candy,keep em coming 😊
I've spent 160 hours (almost 5700 resets) for Shiny Turtwig and no Shiny Starly.
This was my first time shiny hunting I felt like my game was shiny locked and I was about to abandon. I never felt so much joy when I saw the shiny Turtwig my hand couldn't stop shaking
You questioning if your game had been shiny locked, is exactly where I’m at, hearing you go through the same thought reassured me. LOL
3:44 ah yes the most polite name
Currently at 115 hours, hopefully everyone's had better shiny luck!
I watched this again because I needed a bit of motivation for hunting Arceus. Im already on 2.1k+ SRs and still counting. Hopefully, I get it soon.
You ever get it?
I don't literally laugh out loud to many RUclipsrs but you never fail to make me laugh. Your videos literally give me life 😂
Me watching this while hunting Turtwig in OG Diamond lmao. The "I have three, you can't hurt me." had me rolling because same!!
Shiny hunters need to be saved
The fact that Nintendo offered you a free copy of the game rather than suing you for everything you have shocks me.
I was watching your stream, left for maybe 5 minutes, and came back to see you'd gotten it in my absence 😭. I did the hunt as well and it ended up taking me 195 hours to get her.
I did the same shiny hunt, except with Shining Pearl. Started the day the game launched, and finally got it the day after Legends Arceus came out. I don’t know how people make a career out of shiny hunting and stay sane, but you have my respect for pulling it off.
Randomly finding one of those in legends arceus has never made me feel so powerful
