I'm kind of near here but I'm going to say the same thing like I did in the comments you should do a shiny only bug Pokemon Challenge if you already done that and I'm just saying
well i don’t wanna b that guy but these r full odds on a gen 4 game while most of a drive’s shines are on gen6+ bc the shiny odds r increased and ant wasn’t even using a charm or anything
You mentioned something about a “god cartridge” and for the first 15 years of me playing Pokémon I only obtained 7 shiny Pokémon, and 6 of them came from a sapphire cartridge that someone left at my friends house. Every time I started a new game I found one randomly before I beat it. I’ve actually thought about pulling it back out to play it through again.
Idk about Sapphire, but in Emerald the RNG is broken so it always starts from the exact same frame every time you restart the game. So if you were lucky and had a shiny frame just a few minutes in, then every single time you hit that frame you'd get a shiny. If you were unlucky and your first shiny frame wasn't until a few hours in, you'd have to let the game run for a few hours every time before you'd ever have a chance of getting a shiny
@@jarnei8017 one of mine was a shiny Oddish. It was actually my first shiny ever actually. Now I want to play my sapphire version again. (I still own it.)
I highly agree. I find myself at work during the middle of the day and I miss the whole stream and when I shiny hunt I've got nothing to really binge watch when no one is streaming.
Please, please, please do a VOD channel. I regularly put your Twitch past-broadcasts on in the background when going about life. I was so sad the day I went on to put on my favorite Pixelmon stream, but Twitch had taken it down because it expired!
His nicknames explained Gurt: someone meant to say "are you gonna shiny catch the grunt [pokemon name]" but said Gurt instead. 9 inches: during a legend of zelda breath of the wild playthrough his stream made him name his horse 9 inches, so he rode 9 inches all game
2 things 1: I love small ant, dude is nuts and completely cracked out of his mind in the best way possible 2: would love a vods channel to put on in the background as I work most of the day and miss everything
I reckon it is definitely dream luck, and the electrode luck was simply there to off set it. I’ve watched a lot of RUclipsrs do shiny runs and they all get insanely lucky, weird how that happens 😅
Honorable mentions? lol. Like the blue nose diglett I crit knocked out in Firered, or the Torkoal in Alpha Sapphire, or the Cacture in Pearl :') Golett in Black2. Now that I think about it I've crit killed more shinies in previous gens than caught
I think this is true I was playing pokemon emerald i think and I found a shiny nidorina and this was 1 or 2 years ago since I got a rom and I killed it not knowing it was a shiny
@@kingivan1151combined with the insane catch rate he definitely changed stuff. I’ve shiny hunting for years and I have been similarly luck (in heart gold as well lol) getting 3 in a week in under 2000 total but when RUclipsrs do these sorts of challenges they all seem to get EXTREMELY lucky, so I highly doubt the legitimacy. And then there’s the speed up which is another thing entirely
Shiny hunters resetting 15,000+ times for a shiny legendary, meanwhile I'm over here with a shiny Reshiram that I found completely by accident in Omega Ruby. Didn't even know it was Reshiram's gate that I had found. Best part is that I encountered it while talking with a friend about how I hadn't personally found a shiny pokemon since generation III.
I really want to do a shinylocke in Pearl or Diamond, just so I can get another discolored grass hedgehog (Shaymin is my favorite shiny) but I’m ‘fraid I wouldn’t have the patience for that Edit: yep yep I just got my pearl copy and I’ll be doing it, I don’t know if I want to hunt my starter or box it after the first shiny, which one should I do?
@@lightfiendish My quickest legendary hunt was Guzzlord in a week. Zekrom, Shaymin, and a few I gave up on (Giratina and Regirock) took 6+ months each. Tl;dr I don't have good luck.
I would love a vod channel. I love having shiny hunting streams on in the background when I do stuff so it would be great to have some when nobody is live :)
Crocodile was named 9 inches because Smallant's hands are 9 inches long Eevee is Cream because the pencil sharpening titan Footcream arrived just previously to the stream Gyarados is called after me Electrode is called Gurt so that when he comes out it says GO-GURT! because Smallant had never tried a gogurt Dragonite because someone said it should be called clover since shiny dragonite is green Lugia is called Peach because someone requested it, and because Smallant was refering to Lugia as Luigi (Luigi+Peach) Ho-oh so that it said GO-ld! when they sent it out, because it's Ho-oh
Little story, I downloaded a Pokemon Crystal rom to play on my phone. I was going through the game as normal no nuzlocke or anything. I got to Ecruteak city and released the dogs. I head west towards the next route after beating the 4th gym and run into Entei right away. And what happens? That thing was f'ing shiny. I was excited but then my heart went into my throat, I had no way to catch it, I could chuck a pokeball at it but it would just run away since I had no way to prevent it from fleeing and it would not be shiny again. I had less than 5 pokeballs on me (no ultra, no great, just pokeballs). I threw the pokeball hoping for a miracle and what do ya know? I actually caught it. I was so excited, it is by far the craziest thing that has ever happened to me in a pokemon game. I really don't know what those odds are, but thats 1/8192 for the shiny, and about 1/130 to capture.
When I started Soulsilver I said: mh let's try to shiny hunt starters, but it's impossible I could find one! Literally maybe 40 resets later: shiny Totodile🥲
I enjoy watching SmallAnt reactions, he is so strategic it is fun to watch other RUclipsrs be surprised… of course I love watching all of his videos to because they surprise me! Great job on this video aDrive you really captured what it’s like to be in shock!
In My Pokemon Crystal Emulator I Found A Random Full Ods Shiny Zubat In Union Cave After Getting My First Badge I Caught It And I Found A Shiny Lugia Post Game In Just A Few Resets After Failing To Catch It Multiple Times I Did Not Want To Use My Master Ball But When I Saw The Shiny Lugia I Just Did Not Hesitate And Threw The Master Ball ( I Think I Spent All My Shiny Luck There )
I've been shiny eevee hunting in sword for over a week and haven't gotten a single one when I tell you his luck compared to mine is times 10,000 My goal: beat Pokémon sword with a team of shiny eevee evaluations My face when he got the shiny legendary: 👁👄👁
I actually managed to get a first encounter shiny once. I just got out of Hammerlocke in Sword and Shield and encountered my first wild Morpeko...it was shiny. I didn't even know it was shiny until it sparkled
Impossible mode! Shiny quest 1. A shiny for every gym 2. A shiny for every rival battle 3. A shiny for every event battle (Proton, intractable pokemon, roaming legends, gift pokemon) Only exceptions are shiny locked pokemon (in soul silver there are 0)

I just watched this like an hour ago
Fool! I've already been watching smallant!
And yes I would love a VOD
I WAS HERE
I'm kind of near here but I'm going to say the same thing like I did in the comments you should do a shiny only bug Pokemon Challenge if you already done that and I'm just saying
aDrive: “Imagine trying to beat Pokémon with only shiny Pokémon.”
Smallant: “Hold my wooper”
Woopy boi best boi
It aint wooper tho names WOOP WOOP
WOOP WOOP
RtGame: Hold my shiny wooloo
Smallant: "hold my restart application button"
alternate title: adrive slowly losing his temper at how lucky an ant can get
Yessssss
True!!
its so true LOL
so true
He is not wrong.
And no one is commenting how he has a FEMALE Shiny Starter? The Odds are even more insane.
YEAH!!!!!!!!!
Oh yeah
It has a 0.000000001220703125% of being a shiny totodile. Also it has a 12.5% of it being female.
He got REALLLLLLLY lucky
@@lolball1716 well, I got a female shiny chikorita in 4 SRS. What were my odds?
@@RipperRaidenX 0.00000000000000000000054

is that supposed to mean something?

@@iCanHasRandomness bruh have you not heard of the legendary snack Gogurts?
@@iCanHasRandomness you've never heard of gogurt!??What a sin

Some men just want to watch the world burn

when i first played pkmn i found a shiny zubat and killed it because i dont like its color :D
i still hate myself for that
@@bumblebearri cringe
@@horizon8942 indeed, i was a kid tho i didnt know any better
Feraligatr, Umbreon and Gyarados is probably all he needed.
Doing the most optimal would be boring
I agree applen
Feraligatr is all he needed actually.
@@ZeldasFather *t h i c c-*
@@ZeldasFather Can it learn all the HMs? Legit question.
Not only was this guy able to get a shiny Totodile unknown to him and Adrive, this guy had such massive luck he got a rare female shiny!
WOW
Yeah isnt it like a 1 in 64000 chance?
@@D3sdinova yup 1/65536 cause females are only 1/8 chance.
Adrive, who has gotten multiple first-encounter or first reset shiny legendaries: “no way he got it that fast!”
For real he’s acting like he barely get shines, even though he has over 200
well i don’t wanna b that guy but these r full odds on a gen 4 game while most of a drive’s shines are on gen6+ bc the shiny odds r increased and ant wasn’t even using a charm or anything
I love Adrive’s face after Ant says that he’s gonna do some pencil sharpening
And casually flexed about a new WR
His starter is only lv43 but he’s catching lv70 Pokémon
And beat red using 39-70 lvl pokemon and red got 88-90
Bruh thats just me but the legend is my starter
*he is the god*
Nani!!!
Of course it’s the legend
Oh yeah Adrive the whole 10 inches things was where he was measuring his hand, and it was a little weird looking.
Lol I can’t believe his shiny luck! Watched it so many times, I couldn’t believe the RNG!
Except Electrode
@@videogamingstickman7694 lol yeah.
Electrode tho
Especially on that gyarados 1st encounter
What does "RNG" mean?

Explains why i had 2 shiny oddish, shiny magikarp and a shiny trapinch in Sapphire. Only 1 per restarted game tho
@@jarnei8017 one of mine was a shiny Oddish. It was actually my first shiny ever actually. Now I want to play my sapphire version again. (I still own it.)
@@loulou3676 in sapphire and ruby rng is broken if you have a dead battery cartridge
@@jarnei8017 if they came from different saves with different trainer IDs then they're all legit actually
To be fair, the Eterna Forest theme was playing when he found Ho-Oh, so it only seems fitting. Best music for the best Shiny.
2:30 would love an Adrive vod channel. I love watching streams but can never make it :(
I highly agree. I find myself at work during the middle of the day and I miss the whole stream and when I shiny hunt I've got nothing to really binge watch when no one is streaming.
Same!! My mom won’t let me get twitch and aDrive and SmallAnt are the reason why I want it:(
I would love it too. I can't put twitch on my TV, but I love watching aDrive when I'm cleaning and stuff around the apartment.
I am in school when he streams
Please, please, please do a VOD channel. I regularly put your Twitch past-broadcasts on in the background when going about life. I was so sad the day I went on to put on my favorite Pixelmon stream, but Twitch had taken it down because it expired!
Imagine trying to do this as a nuzlocke...
I don’t think my heart can take that, just constant pain throughout the whole nuzlocke
Rip the player
100+ hours down the drain
I wouldn’t last 5 minutes cause I’m not that patient to keep resetting just to get the starter as a shiny
8:56 that almost looks perfectly synchronized
THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING!
Can we talk about how he used the Great ball to catch the Electrode, that was low-key genius.
His nicknames explained
Gurt: someone meant to say "are you gonna shiny catch the grunt [pokemon name]" but said Gurt instead.
9 inches: during a legend of zelda breath of the wild playthrough his stream made him name his horse 9 inches, so he rode 9 inches all game
you need to watch the vod to understand 9 inches, the botw playthrough explanation is wrong
@@jarrolightfeather9554 it’s literally not though
aDrive trying to be excited while hiding his internal screaming xD.
Thank god i am not the only one that chuckles when small ant said "Let's take a look at Me." XD
Reversal would probably cry if he saw the amount of resets Tanner had for this run
you can literally see the disgust in adrives face when he gets the dratini.. Not saying he was salty or anything.... lol
:0 Your actually reacting to it! That electrode fail 🥲
I joined right after he lost it and left 3 encounters before he got it again I missed both of them by seconds
Small ant hacks. Not in games in life mans hacked his luck to 1000%
I just finished watching the original. And I’m back here watching someone else watch it all over again... what is wrong with me?
same
It’s just a fantastic legendary video! The luck he got on that run will never be seen again!
I don't believe him. I think he got tired while hunting electrode. He turned the odds WAYYYYY up.
For suree
You should react to SmallAnt’s beating Pokémon with wooper. That one was awesome.
Wait...
Imagine making an Ali A like thumbnail for my boy Smallant’s video bro
smallant and adrive at the exact same time: OH MY GOD!!!!!!!
2 things
1: I love small ant, dude is nuts and completely cracked out of his mind in the best way possible
2: would love a vods channel to put on in the background as I work most of the day and miss everything
Smallant is straight up the god of patience.
Agreed
“How did he beat it?” Explosion, my dude.
This almost the luck Dream claims to have OMEGALUL
I reckon it is definitely dream luck, and the electrode luck was simply there to off set it. I’ve watched a lot of RUclipsrs do shiny runs and they all get insanely lucky, weird how that happens 😅
Smallant everytime he's getting a shiny : pog
I wish I had that luck going for my shiny galar Ponyta (haven't shined yet).
Yu got it now
I love his nicknames there’s so random but they have good personality 😆
Some of them aren’t random like the GURT one. That one was planned so he can say GOGURT when he goes into a battle
Go Gurt!! I was on SmallAnt’s stream for the loss of Gurt 1 and the catching of Gurt 2, fantastic content
Random person : gets a shiny really quickly
Me in disbelief because I’ve hunted galarian zigzagoon for weeks with 1000+ resets
@Enzo Ian R. Evangelista yeah it’s hard when you don’t have the charm either
I feel like the initiation for becoming a shiny hunter is failing a shiny
Honorable mentions? lol. Like the blue nose diglett I crit knocked out in Firered, or the Torkoal in Alpha Sapphire, or the Cacture in Pearl :') Golett in Black2. Now that I think about it I've crit killed more shinies in previous gens than caught
If it makes you feel any better, I failed a shiny Sirfetch’d
We bond through hardship haha
I think this is true I was playing pokemon emerald i think and I found a shiny nidorina and this was 1 or 2 years ago since I got a rom and I killed it not knowing it was a shiny
The way that he said "INCREDIBLE" and the way he looked he was legit gonna kill me😆
Bruh, if he hadn’t gone for Electrode he would’ve gotten his whole team in like 5k resets.
Not exactly, he would have gone for the other shinies way sooner and his luck with them would have been completely different, butterfly effect bud
7:08 small ant pog
"Imagine doing a playtrough with only shinies." - coming from the guy who did multiple shinylocks 👀
"Yes umbreon I knew you were a man of culture smallant"
The chat that did the poll: Am I a joke to you?
2:30 YES WE WANT YOU TO DO THAT
I'm still convinced he got tired of resetting after the electrode so he increased the odds
Yeah I agree, he got 4 shinies in under 1k resets... Thats mathematically 1/2billion.

Smallant. Begun as a nobody, he completed SMO Blindfolded. He became one of the best VGC creator from RUclips and twitch

Eevee is Cream because the pencil sharpening titan Footcream arrived just previously to the stream

Electrode is called Gurt so that when he comes out it says GO-GURT! because Smallant had never tried a gogurt
Dragonite because someone said it should be called clover since shiny dragonite is green

8:55 you guys laugh in sync that was creepy lol
Breaking News: RUclipsr named Adrive robs another RUclipsr named SmallAnt for shiny luck.
That vods channel would be nice cause I can't really watch streams live often
the only part of his stream that i was able to tune into live for was literally probably a few minutes before he reset that electrode. it was amazing
0:47 We kinda hope that's the case for reaction videos
Well at least SmallAnt passed the right of passage of failing a shiny Pokémon
I enjoy watching SmallAnt reactions, he is so strategic it is fun to watch other RUclipsrs be surprised… of course I love watching all of his videos to because they surprise me! Great job on this video aDrive you really captured what it’s like to be in shock!
The game: Hmm ,small ants doing a run with only shinies........ LETS GIVE HIM INSANE LUCK!
That’s so weird I just watched that video yesterday and now adrive is making a reaction video on it, it feels like dejavú lol
okay but you guys both laughed and moved in the EXACT same way at 9:55 and i find that amazing
The best luck I've had with a shiny was a 1 reset Celesteela in UM.
Mine a charmander in 30 eggs and well all the random encounters
In My Pokemon Crystal Emulator I Found A Random Full Ods Shiny Zubat In Union Cave After Getting My First Badge I Caught It
And I Found A Shiny Lugia Post Game In Just A Few Resets After Failing To Catch It Multiple Times I Did Not Want To Use My Master Ball But When I Saw The Shiny Lugia I Just Did Not Hesitate And Threw The Master Ball ( I Think I Spent All My Shiny Luck There )
I’ve seen this video before and small and is super luck considering the odds are over 8,000
we have you 8,284 to 1
small ant I like those odds
Small ant is an absolute legend but this was just bananas
I was waiting for u to react to this video by smallant
It's already a classic but it came out like two weeks ago
This was really fun to see aDrive react to this considering that he is a Shiny Master
Yes! I forgot about this vid tho XD I could never do this challenge tho.
Smallant : *loves totodile*
aDrive : *loves chikorita*
Me : BRUH me and my siblings ONLY CYNDAQUIL
Plot twist: he found a random shiny charm laying around
Randomized item lmao

Random fact: this was uploaded while I was watching one of smallant’s VODs
For real, small ant needs to buy a lottery ticket

Man, you caught Tapu Koko an Lele right after each other. Don't cry
I've been shiny eevee hunting in sword for over a week and haven't gotten a single one when I tell you his luck compared to mine is times 10,000
My goal: beat Pokémon sword with a team of shiny eevee evaluations
My face when he got the shiny legendary: 👁👄👁
I actually managed to get a first encounter shiny once. I just got out of Hammerlocke in Sword and Shield and encountered my first wild Morpeko...it was shiny. I didn't even know it was shiny until it sparkled
aDrive and SmallAnt should totally do a Shiny Race.
Definitely do vods that would be AMAZING !!!!
That’s where all of 2020’s luck went
He named the elecrorde gurt, because when you throw him out he says Go! Gurt. Which is like gogurt. The yogurt thing
Shiny odds for regular people : 1/8192
Shiny odds for smallant : 1/50
Screaming into camera = job
Impossible mode! Shiny quest
1. A shiny for every gym
