Heya just wanted to say you've inspired me to start shiny hunting and I've been in love with it for a good 2 years now. Congrats on your shinies :) I've prepared the infamous shiny manaphy hunt to take on next, wish me luck!
@@_Bendy It is :) check his channel, he explains how it works. Or just google it. It requires the old ranger games and a lot of effort but it's entirely possible.But yeah, Steve hunted it himself
eterna forest is an s tier pokemon location. the soundtrack and the fact that i got a shiny wurmple in pearl after only 80 encounters make this one of my favourite places to visit ^^
I was wondering: Why a Machamp? And what happens if the Chansey attacks the Wurmple? Then it all came to fruition when you said, “Let’s just kick Chansey right in the face.” It just sent me. Lmao
Was a lot of fun to see you get this live yesterday and to predict its evo correctly! I ended up having some shiny luck after I hopped out, got a shiny Bellsprout for my HG badge quest, Sunday was really a lucky day it feels like haha
Congratulations on the beautiful purple Wurmple! They look absolutely fantastic in this game. I’ve begun my hunt here as well, with my targets being Wurmple, Cascoon or Dustox.
Wow! I'm STILL trying to get my Shiny Chimchar! GG! ✨🐛 Also hopefully they fixed the glitch where if you find 2 Shiny Pokémon at once it'll cause the game to crash!
I love your channel! By far my favorite shiny hunter. You've got me wanting to record my shiny hunting hobby! Ive got an elgato HD 60 and now I'm looking for some DS capture cards to start streaming my shiny mythical challenge! I'll be legitimately hunting mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Deoxys, and Manaphy.
Hay I’m just wondering if it matters if I have a fake Pokémon ruby? Dose it effect me if I try to get it to gen 8 and can you get shinys if it dose matter where can I get Pokémon ruby without getting a fake coppy of the game?
Just curious, I know the normal way to track shiny hunting is by the amount of encounters. But how long does it take on average time wise ? I understand that it vastly differs by how fast you are able to do the hunt (soft resets vs wild encounters) and how much time you are actually spending a day. But just curious as someone who is just getting into shiny hunting.
The short answer is no one can tell you how long it takes. You can give yourself a rough estimate of the time by counting the encounter speed but that would assume maximum efficiency. No one hunts at that rate consistently. The average time is essentially like asking how long is a piece of string. It's so variable. I'd encourage you not to focus on time & try to just focus on the resets/encounters you're doing. Try to make shiny hunting the background task while you're watching TV, Netflix, streams etc. I truly think that's the key. If you're new to shiny hunting, try and focus on the fact that it's random at a 1/4096 chance per reset. You're at odds at 4,096 seen. You'll get some hunts underodds, some overodds. It's all RNG. (All this assuming you're hunting at full odds) Best of luck :)
@@Sonikks thanks for the reply! That’s exactly what I’ve been doing. Binging your videos has been a great form of entertainment for now and encouraging haha. Is there a form of hunting you would recommend for first timer? Or are all forms created equal?
If we're talking full odds hunts, I'd suggest Johto starters in HG/SS, Eterna Forest in D/P/Pt or even the remakes. They're just so fast and the usual gateway full odds hunts people gravitate to. A lot of really cool shinies. Something else you could potentially work with is Gen 5 double grass encounters. @YourFriedBread has a ton of videos from double grass you could look at for inspiration perhaps. Thanks for watching my content btw, really appreciate it.
Wurmple (Dustox) was my first ever shiny like 16 years ago, so this makes me so happy. I don't play pokemon anymore but this makes me want to get these games 😭
hello, been shiny hunting the gifted happiny. does anyone have any good tips for making it faster? i use my bike and i have a magby with flame body, i cant hink of anything else to make it aster. its been so long and i want it so bad...
@@Sonikks i found out that going in a small circle rather then making a big loop saves time by 2 min. i wihs we had the quarter trick from xy back again...
Hi Steve I just found shiny Wurmple myself a day after finding shiny Mudkip. it's just evolved into Cascoon and so will be a Dustox. Looking forward to having it in my team
Congrats, still working on my first shiny from e forest i have hunted for about 30 hr getting at least 170 encounters per hour i hope i get mine soon this, really helps me stay motivated.
That is false and not how mathematics work. It's 1/4096, specifically 2 x 1/4096. Each Pokemon is still 1/4096. It's like doing two random encounters at once. The same way hunting across two games doesn't make it 2/4096, it's just 2 x 1/4096.
“A very easy and comfortable hunt for everyone” Hahahahahahaha I’ve been hunting in here since the date of release to get a shiny on my team, and now I’m more than 2 times over odds with nearly 100 In-game hours. Legends Arceus is probably going to release before I get anything. Anyway, great job on the shiny worm! Looks awesome. Hopefully I can get mine sometime this century
Congratulations on your purple worm 💜 I did 3phases and got 2 silcoon and one budew, I would trade that one silcoon for buneary or murkroe but I got them via underground so I'm happy lol
As entertaining as the shining hunting community is on RUclips, I have yet to see, even from the bigger channels, any of them employ the same kind of finesse, precision and style I put into my hunts. They all seem to follow the same formula and challenges. Not a crack at all, but an out loud observation.

What do u use to keep track of resets?
Heya just wanted to say you've inspired me to start shiny hunting and I've been in love with it for a good 2 years now. Congrats on your shinies :) I've prepared the infamous shiny manaphy hunt to take on next, wish me luck!
I hate to break it to you but i think Manaphy isn't huntable
@@_Bendy Yeah it is.
@@_Bendy It is :) check his channel, he explains how it works. Or just google it. It requires the old ranger games and a lot of effort but it's entirely possible.But yeah, Steve hunted it himself
@@micah0000 I'm aware! I'm hunting it in the old games
Oh sorry man i knew it's huntable but i thought you meant the remakes
eterna forest is an s tier pokemon location.
the soundtrack and the fact that i got a shiny wurmple in pearl after only 80 encounters make this one of my favourite places to visit ^^
You can be a top tier galactic grunt with Shiny Wrumple
Congratulations on your purple Wurmple! The shade of purple translates really well over to the updated model.
Looks like you’re having a great time hunting in BDSP, Steve! Love to see it, and congrats on the Wurmple! That’s what I got for my first BDSP shiny!
Congrats Sonikks! That was a fast one as expected! ✨
I was wondering: Why a Machamp? And what happens if the Chansey attacks the Wurmple?
Then it all came to fruition when you said, “Let’s just kick Chansey right in the face.” It just sent me. Lmao
The chansey can kill the shiny ✨
Machamp also has the No Guard ability, which works the same as Illuminate.
Imagine if the AI ally knew not to attack shinies. That would be cool lol
When you hunt with an NPC, you have to take out their Pokemon as soon as possible because they can potentially kill the shiny.
Was a lot of fun to see you get this live yesterday and to predict its evo correctly!

I’ve begun my hunt here as well, with my targets being Wurmple, Cascoon or Dustox.
Congrats on the shiny!! Dustox looks amazing!
at 1:36 were you referring to the gen 3 sudowoodo explosion hunt? just out of curiosity :)
Shiny Wurmp!!! I encountered a random shiny Bronzor while just hunting for Metal Coats with Mira, double encounters are so good lmao
Congrats! The Wurmple line shinies look great in these games !
Wow! I'm STILL trying to get my Shiny Chimchar! GG! ✨🐛
Also hopefully they fixed the glitch where if you find 2 Shiny Pokémon at once it'll cause the game to crash!
They did!
Congrats Steve! I'm going for Murkrow currently at 7.4k Seen can't wait to get it so that I can move on to another target
Congrats on shiny Wurmple!
what a great file pokerus and shinys xD that must motivate
Congrats!! Love the Wurmple line shinies

Do it dude!
crazy i actually followed your twitch a minute before you found this lol
The moment I saw the machamp I knew it was going to absolutely destroy that chansey.
Are you planning on hunting the underground (with or without the diglett bonus)
I love how you got your shiny wurmple right after they (presumably) got a shiny starly
Hay I’m just wondering if it matters if I have a fake Pokémon ruby? Dose it effect me if I try to get it to gen 8 and can you get shinys if it dose matter where can I get Pokémon ruby without getting a fake coppy of the game?
I wouldn't recommend hunting on a fake game.
Thanks
Any tips for getting a real copy
@@xxethanplayzxx4138 legit cartridges are super expensive so I just either emulate or use a homebrew 3ds
I found finally got a legit Pokémon ruby copy!!!

Wait why the sweet scent for the encounter instead of running around ?
Significantly faster
Wurmple (Dustox) was my first ever shiny like 16 years ago, so this makes me so happy. I don't play pokemon anymore but this makes me want to get these games 😭
Great progress. I’m still on Piplup 😓
hello, been shiny hunting the gifted happiny. does anyone have any good tips for making it faster? i use my bike and i have a magby with flame body, i cant hink of anything else to make it aster. its been so long and i want it so bad...
There's no way to make it faster than that. Maybe do a side hunt next to it to pass the time on another system.
@@Sonikks i found out that going in a small circle rather then making a big loop saves time by 2 min. i wihs we had the quarter trick from xy back again...

Congrat's !
wouldn't be considered over odds since its 2/4096 which makes the odds 1/2048 since its double encounters?
That is false and not how mathematics work. It's 1/4096, specifically 2 x 1/4096. Each Pokemon is still 1/4096. It's like doing two random encounters at once. The same way hunting across two games doesn't make it 2/4096, it's just 2 x 1/4096.
Congratz i got a Dustox in my Shiny Run too
How did you get your Pokémon at such a high level??
I traded it to my friend to KO the Chansey with.
@@Sonikks sick, I’m trying to level my Budews friendship up for sweet scent before leaving Eterna and I’m struggling lol
Yeah it's annoying hence why I asked my friend with a completed game to help me. Good luck 🍀
@@Sonikks thank you! I got a beautifly the other day in 2042 encounters! Was not expecting the 2%
I'm 48 hours into this forest and still nothing... I guess my luck with the starter made me unlucky for the others twt
“A very easy and comfortable hunt for everyone”
Hahahahahahaha I’ve been hunting in here since the date of release to get a shiny on my team, and now I’m more than 2 times over odds with nearly 100 In-game hours. Legends Arceus is probably going to release before I get anything.

Lol did you ever get it?
@@edxander7169 yeah. I got it like 7 or 6 months ago. I always have crap luck on my first shiny hunts when a new game releases.
saw it live on twitch congrats
Shiny cascoon looks sooooo good!
Are you going to Hunt the new roamers?
Yeah
Congratulations on your purple worm 💜
I did 3phases and got 2 silcoon and one budew, I would trade that one silcoon for buneary or murkroe but I got them via underground so I'm happy lol
i am going for a shiny turtwig in brilliant diamond. then i am going to try for a craneados and something in the great marsh for a later date
my second shiny for my run was wurmple too, at 6066, good luck for your next ones
Congrats I do wish I hadn't given up on my shiny chimcar hunt but I got both games I can just do it in the other game
Can always make another account as well.
