What the point of shiny hunting anymore. Next year you be able to transfer shiny pokemon to bdsp. And with getting 20+ shinys every community day. I know on in my po-home account I have at least 1 shiny of each pokemon.
@@Aus10Ham yeah I don't shiny hunt, because I have a shiny verison of every pokemon already. It's nice, not having to worry about it and put in that extra time and effort.
@@Aus10Ham what he’s saying is what is the point if they are all handed to you anyways. Especially since the event Pokémon they usually give you are high IVS and hidden abilities as well. You argument is valid, but he’s just stating the facts. It kinda sucks that shiny Pokémon aren’t as impressive anymore.
@@Reliztik82 unfortunately shinies have been in the games for decades now, personally I decided to leave my shinies in the bank and not transfer them to make for more shiny grinds in the game currently out
I just got Spiritomb myself before the 3rd badge. And the impression I got is: every route has their fixed NPC which shows up nearly every time, but every route also has a small chance of spawning literally anyone else. The big symmetrical area below Oreburgh has the NPC spawns close to entrances, so it's great for grinding, I found like 20 NPCs around there, but it's not otherwise special. I could find upwards to 10 different NPCs on a less efficient grinding spot that's right below where Spiritomb is. So what I would recommend you do: - Keep track of everyone you meet on a notepad. You won't remember if an NPC is new or not otherwise. - Patrol through the entire underground that you can explore talking to everyone you see, finding as many easy fixed NPCs as possible. (optional) - Go below Oreburgh where the big grassy area is, and grind for NPCs there, find NPC, go through door, go back in route, repeat until you've met 32. This will likely take a few hours so put on your favorite podcast. - Go fight Spiritomb and hopefully you'll get a Shiny for your effort.
Thank you so much I'm going to try this. I was convinced certain npcs were on fixed routes this comment has given me hope. Edit: Update - I got Spiritomb with 3 badges, grinding under Oreburgh helped a lot, thanks again.
@@chrisweskamp9466 No, Pokemon games generally don't have mechanics that reset when you save and quit. Saving the game saves basically everything. The Spiritomb mechanic in particular is designed to be worked on slowly throughout the game. It makes no sense for the count to reset when quitting the game.
thanks for such an in depth comment, i definitely want to play through the game with a shiny spiritomb for sure, regardless of how long it will take :/ good luck on your shiny quests
This a true example of hard work paying off. This dude spent multiplr hours writing and studying data on nics in the undergroundand got a shiny Spiritomb out of it. Nice work
This is the worst. I’ve been in the underground for 3 hours and I’ve only found 20 unique npc’s. Every time I see Dillon I want to drop kick him unit he bleeds out.
You can use Dream Radar to get a Spritomb after you beat the entire game. You can skip days in the application to make the procedure a whole lot easier to do.
Spiritomb was going to be on my team and now knowing it’s easy I’m definitely doing it. Congrats on the shiny!!! I was not expecting that and thought it was clickbait
@@AustinJohnPlays question: have or would you post a somewhat complete list of npcs you and others you've been talking with so that way others who want Spiritomb can sorta keep a better track of who they have and haven't interacted with?
If I remember correctly, there is an odd keystone in your hometown. If you surf across the tiny pond at the bottom of the map, and try to interact with one of the trees, there was a hidden odd keystone item in the old games.
I noticed this too but didnt think much of it I assumed interacting people in the underground was like mining with them or walking by them or something. This is amazing how quickly you figured this out.
Huge congrats on the shiny spiritomb, it looks so good in 3D! This was actually my last shiny hunt in platinum I did before BDSP dropped, and it shined underodds in 5572 on the Thursday morning before launch! Such an incredible shiny, but I don't think I'll be rehunting it in BDSP. With the massive black screen each reset I'll be saving the reset hunts for all the legends for sure.
I actually did the grinding personally in the Grand Underground while having 2 badges and am currently doing a hunt for shiny Spiritomb today. At 265 and counting so far but nothing yet. Update: I found and caught him at 821 Resets on my Brilliant Diamond just recently!
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I saw a few names on your photoshopped image I didn’t have in areas I had already searched. I knew if you had found a Ronn in a certain section then eventually I would too. Thank you!! Naming my Spititomb Liticia because I saw her about 200 times when looking for my last couple of NPCs
Literally was just looking for videos on how to get Spiritomb when I looked at my phone and saw the notification that AJP posted a video. easily the most reliable source on Pokemon stuff! Thanks for the info!!!
I found an Odd Keystone in your home city right after getting surf . . . If you surf the pond on the bottom , and keep spamming A while surfing it , I found it on the mid left spamming A while surfing . The more you know .
By far the best Pokémon channel on RUclips. Thanks for putting out all this fantastic content right on release, and props on the shiny, it’s much deserved!!
Thank you for being like the only person to make a legitimate guide on this. The amount of people pumping out videos saying "talk to 32 people online underground" is insane
Congratulations mah man, you deserve that shiny after all the effort you've put in, love the work you do for these games and greatly appreciate you ❤ 💙 ♥
After a few hours of looking for npcs with two badges im at 24 so far! I can also say for sure that ive found npcs at places not listed here (for instance i found one named harper in the area listed for teena on the map shown at 5:02). Definitely a grind but seems possible with only two badges. Hopefully the grind of the shiny hunt wont be too painful
One method for searching for npc’s: When your in an area with a common npc, keep loading that area till you find at least 2 or 3 different npc’s(they can be npc’s you’ve seen before)then you go to the next area, rinse and repeat. That’s basically how i found them all, you also should use a map for the underground that tells you where each common npc is so you know which is common and which is different/rare. Good luck to anyone searching 👍🏾 Edit: also remember to write the npc names down on a list, in case you forget, i write 31 of them down and checked the hallow tower to find that I forgot about an npc i found and the tower made a spirit tomb.
I just did something similar! I was a dunce and wrote the same name twice (I just didn’t realize because it was a different zone) and now I am off by one 😬
Fortunately, this Pokémon can breed, and many people already caught it in sword and shield. It's likely that most people who get it won't be using the method from this game.
@@kereminde I know the pain, apparently there was a certain few catchphrases for it to work, I got my Feebas, trying to get it MAX beauty was a tough one as I didn't have the berries for it, but it was 150% worth it!
UPDATE: I had 3 gym badges Bc I needed fly to do this reasonably and it took 2.5 days playing for around 4 hours each to get 32 unique npcs by going in and out of caverns over and over incase anyone was thinking of doing it very early on.
As soon as I saw the shiny spiritomb I jumped out of my bed as if it was my Pokémon 😂 Shiny well deserved austin keep up the good content we appreciate it 🙏
One day a turtle lost his shell. He looked all over for it before finally realizing he was not the brightest turtle because he was still inside it. He laughed, pointed to his back, and said 4:39
I'm sure this has been answered already but: RUNNING FROM OR KO'ING SPIRITOMB DESPAWNS IT AND MAKES YOU HAFTA DO THE 32 NPC'S AGAIN! So you DO hafta do full resets to shiny hunt.
Hey Austin your info helped me alot but after doing these steps myself I found that some of the people that aren't fixed are random. I think that the save file a game has determines the rare NPC in an area. Thank you for helping me with this process nonetheless and congrats on the shiny.
ryuki and reggie show up as well. found them after like 30 minutes edit: dont talk to leticia if you see her model. she is the only npc that looks like that and you will save time by ignoring her. also, its possible that ignoring her tricks the game into giving more rare npc's.
Hey Austin I don’t think I’ve commented on any of your videos but I just wanted to say that I appreciate the work you put in to these videos and to keep us informed at all times. Keep up the good work bro. Much love.
The honest reaction was so funny since he didn't expect that shiny. Congrats Austin
That Spiritomb was basically saying 'Nope, no runaway method for you Austin!'. I'd honestly have the same reaction.
Nah It's fake for sure. But Ausin is still a good guy, because of everything he does for us.

whats the chance of him finding it EXACTLY when hes recording it. Yeah right. He should play the lottery then
Austin: Spends 7+ hours researching NPCs
Shiny gods: It is enough.
Just to answer the question no you cannot runaway from spiritomb without deleting it completely
Austin: if you want to shiny hunt it here's how you do it
Also Austin: ends up shiny hunting it unintentionally
lol
Only the 🐐 himself can accomplish this 😂😂
When you shiny hunt and your chain keeps breaking at a chain of 0 three times in a row
That timing with the Shiny Spiritomb was perfect. Him saying, “Yes, you can shiny hunt it.” As he succeeds in the hunt immediately.
I've always had a desire to see a random shiny encounter during a normal guide video. It has now been granted
he got a shiny giratina in the usum legendary guide once

This is it, there's a video by CurseShaka that goes into this. I'm on the 29-32+ step because of this
Major kudos to Austin having his nose to the grindstone once more for us during launch - massive respect for you, sir!
This videos save me
Spades are the best player archetype, and you can't change my mind. I don't care if you're a heart or a club, and diamonds are right out.
After all the help he’s given us throughout the years that shiny is the least he deserves. I jumped up in excitement for him!
Getting it shiny was such a payoff for making an amazing video explaining such in-depth content day 2. Keep up the great work AJP!
This a true example of hard work paying off. This dude spent multiplr hours writing and studying data on nics in the undergroundand got a shiny Spiritomb out of it. Nice work
I literally said, imagine if Austin were to find a shiny mid video, and then he popped out. Con friggen grats Austin!
I like how Shiny Tomb is giggling when Austin is in shock and awe it’s like saying “yeah I know you like what you see”
I love finding my way back too your channel every time a new Pokemon game comes out. Keep up the grind my dude
This is the worst. I’ve been in the underground for 3 hours and I’ve only found 20 unique npc’s. Every time I see Dillon I want to drop kick him unit he bleeds out.
I also hate Dillon with a passion 💀
Do you have to find all 32 within 1 run of the underground, or can you get out of the underground?
@@omerzubair39 you don’t have to do it all at once. Thank god
I got it btw. It took me 6 hours. You just need to try different routes and get lucky
You can use Dream Radar to get a Spritomb after you beat the entire game. You can skip days in the application to make the procedure a whole lot easier to do.
That's the fastest shiny hunt i've ever seen! Congrats!
Love the pure joy and amazement of that honest reaction! This channel is so positive while being so real and sincere. Thank you Austin!
Austin John: For your sake, I want to see if we can run from it to save time.
Spiritomb: We do a little trolling
After all you do for the community this win for you was heart warming. Congrats!
Spiritomb was going to be on my team and now knowing it’s easy I’m definitely doing it. Congrats on the shiny!!! I was not expecting that and thought it was clickbait
NEVER CLICKBAIT here friend.

I have always gone into Pokémon games wanting to use a ghost type as one of my mains but other than Mimikyu in USUM I’ve failed every other time.
"Can you do the runaway method with spiritomb!?" -Austin 2021
Famous last words
God really saw you spending 10 hours talking to NPC's and said "God dam give this dude a shiny before he goes insane"
I actually did the grinding personally in the Grand Underground while having 2 badges and am currently doing a hunt for shiny Spiritomb today. At 265 and counting so far but nothing yet.

Props to you to sit through all the loading screens
Gg!!
Whoa a shiny?!? Man this is getting me hyped for this, and I think I’ll jump back into swsh or hgss to keep myself busy 😂
Dude, that shiny luck... Honestly, well deserved for all these helpful guides for us!
The Pokemon gods are rewarding Austin with a shiny Spiritomb for his great content. What a legend
“But that’s not just a theory…it’s a game theory!”
“Im not gonna test it!” I immediately said “that’s fair” out loud.

Damn you are on the grind, my guy. Thanks for all the hard work for all of these nuggets.
I'm so happy for you Austin, you totally deserved that shiny Spiritomb.
I had the biggest smile when you got the shiny LOL congrats Austin!!
Congratulations mah man, you deserve that shiny after all the effort you've put in, love the work you do for these games and greatly appreciate you ❤ 💙 ♥
Can confirm it does work with 2 badges, took me about 3 hours ones I started tracking NPC's names.
Mind sharing a list so maybe I and others can compare? I'm 2 npcs away and am having god awful luck

Love ya man.
Been at this for 2 days now, have found like 23 unique npcs. I need this spiritomb yesterday
Good job on consistently popping out amazing, informative, and high quality videos! Thank you!!
The spiritomb struggling to drag his little rock behind you is so funny and sad 😂😭
before the emergence of fairy type, Spiritomb, being ghost-dark type, had like no real weakness, but now, it is super weak against fairy type
Excellent. Just got the second badge
....oh Jesus, I forgot he's so hard to get
Who tf finds a shiny Spiritomb without shiny hunting AND catches it with a premier ball on the first try
ive been needing this, I really want spiritome
I guess that he can be found found in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire through a cut off area of the game(?).
ngl I got emotional when you got the shiny. If anyone deserves it so effortlessly, it's you! Thanks for all the research!!
Thank you so much Austin! 2 badges, 32 NPCs and I've got my spiritomb!

I had the same reaction when I first started SP on friday and my Turtwig was a shiny XD That Spiritomb looks awesome!
Yo that is so cool! Super lucky dude!
The switch hear you and was like “alright queen, I see your method. Let’s speed this up”
Grats on the shiny man! I love your guides. Thank you for all of the hard work, research, and content you do!

Thanks for this. I was literally just checking to see if anyone had checked to see if it was possible.
Subscribed after hearing he spent 7hrs+ for this info. And that shiny was well deserved! Congrats!
I know a real fast way. Transfer it.
Congrats! That’s amazing and the fact that you mention it being shiny huntable.
Hi
Hi Nate! You was firstest. :)
LOL I read “Yulaaah” as “Yallahhh!” which means “Let’s gooo!” in Arabic
5:02 “that got me going a little bit crazy.” 5:03 crazy. Lol
10:00 Spiritomb being proud of himself for the reaction he created.
That was priceless. The shiny was like “haha! You did days of work so HERE I AM!”
I love the fact that Austin finds that surprise (trying not to spoil) and doesn't include it in the title or previews it. Well deserved my man!
It's in the thumbnail tho
FYI: ruinning from the fight will not work, you will loose the spawn and have to start over (or reload the last save :) )
Me: want to have a spiritomb before the league
Also me: damn why it take so long, I have been underground for 12 hours already
Him talking about Michelle and Mary made me heavily think about the "Pepe Silvia" scene from "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia."
Austin: Do the run away method
Spiritomb: Do it. I dare you
Dude I subbed a while ago and have been watching vids here and there
, I was so incredibly hyped for you when you got the shiny spirit you deserve it
It took me 8 hours to get 32 npcs, currrently soft resettig. 500 done wish me luck.
And nice video!
After four days…. Maybe 1500 resets … I got my shiny spiritomb!! Great guide and RUclipsr !
Congrats 👏
I can’t think of anyone more deserving of a spiritomb shiny
Hey Austin your info helped me alot but after doing these steps myself I found that some of the people that aren't fixed are random. I think that the save file a game has determines the rare NPC in an area. Thank you for helping me with this process nonetheless and congrats on the shiny.
Hell, my own face when shiny Evilrock shows right up like "BOIIIIIIYO, WHAT UP SON!"
The most emotion I've seen on his face in like a years worth of videos
I'm not sure if this is new info or not, but I found more odd keystones digging in the underground while watching the video on how to get it.
ryuki and reggie show up as well. found them after like 30 minutes
edit: dont talk to leticia if you see her model. she is the only npc that looks like that and you will save time by ignoring her. also, its possible that ignoring her tricks the game into giving more rare npc's.
Could you imagine if everyone had the same attitude and work ethic of Austin? The world would be close to perfect.
I rarely comment on your vids, but I wanted to thank you and the others for your research and congratulations on the shiny!.
I hadn’t watched your videos in a while but dang you look good man!!
Aww Spiritomb's walking animation is adorable haha. He slow boi
Spiritomb: you are never prepared for me.
Austin: Just making a video about how to do something like usual
Spiritomb: AiGhT iMmA bE sHiNy
