@@larstheunissen1401 but you can see if the starter is shiny in the preview so he has 3 checks in 1 restart and the time between restarts is shorter so it essentially is like 5 times faster
As a shiny hunter, I just found it funny when you initially thought Piplup would be sub 50 hours. Also, you were pretty lucky with Dialga. I hunted Palkia in a normal playthrough and went over 7000 resets trying to get it. All within a similar amount of time as your hunt... I really need a different hobby Lastly, I wish I had been around for that, cause I still need to get at least one shiny from the Grand Underground. I'll probably do that after I finish getting everything I can from the 3DS before Pokémon Bank potentially shuts down. Gotta have priorities when hunting 😅
I remember my shiny palkia hunt. I decided to name them freedom after the agonizing several days of hunting. I can't imagine any longer, but I've easily spent a month hunting a shiny rockruff
Y'all Shiny Hunters are next level. I wouldn't have the patience for any of that. Hell, I couldn't even get through an hour of an annoying grind in FFX last night before I got fed up and just beat the game instead.
When I was playing Shining Pearl, my first catchable Pokemon encounter was a shiny Kricketot and I wasn't even hyped because it's the first Pokemon i ever hated
Ah yes, the only challenge Smant said that he never wanted to do again. I probably would never be able to do this challenge, because after 20 some years of playing, I've only ever seen like 3 wild shinies
every time I watch a shiny starter hunt I realize how lucky getting a 45 reset shiny turtwig was and appreciate the commitment people have to hunting full odds shinies
Hi @Linkus7! I’ve been watching since about 50k subs and love your content. Happy to catch this within 15 minutes! You’re my favorite streamer! Edit: this vid is incredible. I’m a huge Zelda and Pokemon fan, so seeing both worlds collide is a treat. Can’t wait to see your channel keep growing. I’ve watched your tp rando 10 or 15 times. I love your videos so much linkus. Keep it up!
Oh, I see, since the Egg isnt determined to be shiny or not shiny until it hatches, it's Schroedinger's Shiny until it hatches, so while it's in the egg it's always shiny. I love it
The egg already had its own ID in place. If that matches up to your secret ID, it will be shiny. If not, then not. And the egg shell has only that one texture. Thus, it can't be shiny.
Highlight of the video was definitely catching Swedish Gible in a Swedish ball. This seems like a huge hassle. You have far more patience than I, good sir.
Resetting this game for a shiny turtwig broke my micro SD card early. 2,904 resets finally caught it, saved my game and about a month later had to replace the micro SD because installed games would crash randomly
I spent 48 hours SRing for shiny Dialga in Brilliant Diamond (3695 encounters) so oooof man I feel your pain! I can't imagine going for the starter though, sitting through the cutscene each time sounds brutal 😬
The shiny Starly on the 12th reset is wild, and the complete opposite of my recent Terraria Rod of Discord grind; it took me 1935 Chaos Elementals killed, at which point I had a 99.21% chance of obtaining at least one Rod of Discord in that amount of time - giving me a 0.79% chance of it taking that long.
When the game first came out i got the dialga after only 12 resets on release day. So I decided to hunt it again and got it yesterday after 4279 soft resets
I hate shiny hunting in this game specifically. From always getting screwed on the Radar chaining, to ruining my Cresselia hunt over 5000 encounters, and 60 hours, into it. To put it into perspective, I'd only do about 100 encounters a day, every day for about 2 months. Discovering I somehow messed up along the way and now the Cresselia was hard-coded to one stat build and non-shiny... broke me.
Linkus, you did something different than all those other shiny run videos you showed, you didn’t use speed up. Everyone else always uses speed up and they make the game go 2 or 3x faster so they can do it quicked
That's what I was most worried about when I clicked. The majority of "Shiny Only" playthroughs that come out these days either use speedup or straight up mod the game to make them less rare. Shoutout to the one guy who has a disclaimer that "even though the odds are different they're still valid" at the start of all of them
I started my shiny only run on November 11 and I was shocked getting my shiny Turtwig on my 10th try. I still haven’t gotten my second shiny as of now and I barely have time to play. I’ve been in Eterna Forest for 3 months.
I have a question for you Mister Linkus, was this recorded when the games came out? Or after the fact? If it was after February 21st I just want to ask how you got the Platinum outfit...unless it's just a modded verison
Early in the video he says that the remakes for diamond and pearl are coming out but aren't they already out and he is playing it or is there more remakes coming out
actually for the pokeradar you just need to see every pokemon, so as long as you battle every pokemon you can get the radar......which would me you'd need to beat the entire game without trading
Damn, you got lucky with your piplup. I've done the briefcase simulator myself to get a shiny turtwig as my starter. And to never forget the pain of it, I included the attempt number in the nickname. Akupara3463
I kinda wish Linkus didn’t evolve Gible; the evolution line’s shinies get progressively worse + the IKEA name doesn’t work once it becomes Gabite. But I know the pain of trying to keep an NFE viable late game…
I tried to do this challenge myself and I’m still stuck on a spiritomb hunt… maybe I should go back to hunting him but soft resets SUUUUUUCK on this horrid game.
2:27 If you used this method and did 5000 tries, your probability of getting at least one shiny is 5000/4096, which is higher than 100%. Therefore, multiplying the probability of a shiny by the amount of attempts is wrong. I assume appearances of a shiny are independent events. P(shiny) = 1/4096 P(not shiny) = 1 - P(shiny) = 4095/4096 This will probably have broken formatting, but here’s the probability tree where you stop after getting your first shiny (you can draw the full map, but we only care about getting at least one) or after n attempts: 0-1/4096-✨ \ \ 4095/4096 \ 0-1/4096-✨ \ \ 4095/4096 \ …… \ 0-1/4096-✨ \ \ 4095/4096 \ 0 To get the probability of a “leaf” or an outcome, you multiply the probabilities along the branch to the leaf. The last 0 is the only branch without a shiny, so the negation of it is all the outcomes where you have a shiny. P(0 after n tries) = P(not shiny)^n = (4095/4096)^n P(>=1 after n tries) = 1 - P(0 after n tries) = 1 - (4095/4096)^n So, for twelve tries, P(>=1 after 12 tries) = 1- (4095/4096)^12 = 0.2925% Same answer for small numbers as the method Linkus used, but with this formula, if you do 5000 tries, your probability of at least one shiny is about 71%, and not 122%. So Linkus had a 28% of getting a shiny Piplup by the 1360th attempt.
Game freak at this point know people shiny hunt their starters even if they have ridiculously long reset times, I think they should just give up and make all starter shiny farms super easy to let people actually play thier games
This took wayy tooo long... so I hope you enjoy!
Let me know if you want more Pokemon content in the future 👀
I tried it too, but it took me 200 hours to get the starter and I still didn't get one, so I stopped trying it 😅
Yes, pokemon content good
I respect the grind. 💪😤
This video was great! I'd certainly love to see more Pokemon content...
Yesh

If you used this method and did 5000 tries, your probability of getting at least one shiny is 5000/4096, which is higher than 100%. Therefore, multiplying the probability of a shiny by the amount of attempts is wrong.
I assume appearances of a shiny are independent events.
P(shiny) = 1/4096
P(not shiny) = 1 - P(shiny) = 4095/4096
This will probably have broken formatting, but here’s the probability tree where you stop after getting your first shiny (you can draw the full map, but we only care about getting at least one) or after n attempts:
0-1/4096-✨
\
\ 4095/4096
\
0-1/4096-✨
\
\ 4095/4096
\
……
\
0-1/4096-✨
\
\ 4095/4096
\
0
To get the probability of a “leaf” or an outcome, you multiply the probabilities along the branch to the leaf. The last 0 is the only branch without a shiny, so the negation of it is all the outcomes where you have a shiny.
P(0 after n tries)
= P(not shiny)^n
= (4095/4096)^n
P(>=1 after n tries)
= 1 - P(0 after n tries)
= 1 - (4095/4096)^n
So, for twelve tries,
P(>=1 after 12 tries)
= 1- (4095/4096)^12
= 0.2925%
Same answer for small numbers as the method Linkus used, but with this formula, if you do 5000 tries, your probability of at least one shiny is about 71%, and not 122%.
So Linkus had a 28% of getting a shiny Piplup by the 1360th attempt.
