The fact that he got a shiny starter that’s female that has the perfect nature that also has fricking pokerus is absolutely insane, actually complete bull luck like you’re probably the kind of person to hit 6 iron head flinches in a roll, while also getting under odds for 4 shinies is crazy, probably bc of gastly lol.
1/35,790,848,000 is about the odds of this happening 1/8192 for the shiny at all 1/8 for female 1/25 for a specific nature ~1/21845 for pokerus and to be more specific multiply that by 3 for it being specifically tododile which would be *1/107,372,544,000* Chances and probability are weird as hell so this may not be 100% accurate but it defo puts it into perspective how rare this is
@@da_xbox360well that is calculating the odds for specifically Totodile per starter reset. They are all independent events, so nothing complicated for the calculations, just simple multiplication. My personal recommendation would be to calculate for the odds of that happening for any of the starters, so drop the 1/3, but factoring in the 1/31 for the perfect attack IV
Factoring in shiny, 31 ATK IV, perfect nature, female, AND Pokerus, this Totodile has a 8.73E-11% chance of existing. If my calculations are right, you'd have a better chance at winning the lottery than replicating this Totodile.
It being female and having pokerus is insanely rare. I've only encountered it in the wild once in pokemon platinum while also getting my first shiny ever with staravia.
Damn, that Totodile is going to be one of the strongest, luckiest pokemon ever known in the history of shiny playthroughs. Good luck on your alligator girl.
funny about the spearow named ho-oh...when I was a kid and saw the first episode of the anime, I 100% thought ho-oh was a fearow. so I caught one, raised it to an absurd level, and got mad it never became magical and shiny like in the show. 10/10
@@truncatedGrip First mon was a 1/35 billion, the heracross was a 1/400 thousand, he would be hunting til' this day if those mons had even the slightest chance of being legit.
I don't think anything in this video was fake, I just think he should have powered through with the Sassy Male, because otherwise is cheating. Weird flex to do a HC Nuzlock via cheating, but go off I guess.

The Gastly encounter just proves that Dream Luck is real and all his runs are legit. Thank you Dream, Kidd has been and always will be your biggest fan!
If i had a nickel for every time Captain Kidd suggested on bringing an Onix to the end game, just to only die before using an attack, id have two nickels, which isnt a lot, but its weird that its happened twice.
Even though I lack the patience to regularly shiny hunt, this video is making me seriously consider a shiny only run lol, seeing the whole team of shinies come together is so fun!
A female shiny PkRs Totodile is a 0.000000000698502589% chance, or approximately a 1/really fucking low chance to happen. That pokemon has a chance to be the rarest you have ever caught or even seen. (And it was emulated lmao)
@@Josh-sh6oy The totodile in the beginning is 1 in 35 billion, the heracross with a perfect nature and the preffered ability is 1 in 400 thousand. He cheated them in, the dude's using an emulator so it'd be pretty easy as well.
@@mustachecrab9669 One day you'll understand that probability does not equal certainty. Also chill out, it's a 14 year old video game, who actually cares if the odds are stacked.
I agree. He swapped out a -spd nature for adamant and changed swarm to guts?! He's good enough to beat the game without cheating like that. Like if you're going to cheat why even do a nuzlocke challenge at that point? Playing pokemon normally with only getting shinies is still a good video.
@@BleakStarshineat the end of the day, he can play how he wants to and if your mad at a 3 month old video thats on you. he spent two years on it and deserved at least a bit of positivity
Bro, the fight between you and Red was so awesome because I was imagining Deku (Feraligatr) & the Blastoise in an actual animated battle where the two Pokemon were at the end of their ropes and one falls. Kind of like a Samurai fight or Cowboy standoff. Love the dedication of 2 years to the craft!
In Heartgold’s shiny quest, our hues collide, Where Ambipom, Heracross, in pink pride ride. But Red, with sly intent, does sharply tread, Knocking hues of even Gyrados reds. A leveled blow, a of colorful puns galore, In this hardest battle, where pink shades bleed 🩸 RED LITERALLY THROWING SHADE BY KNOCKING THE LIGHTER SHADES OF SHINIES 39:40
I wouldn't say that. Sandshrew, Spearow and Aipom came suspiciously easy. All of them WAY under odds. So either he still had a ton of luck left or he took some more inspiration from dream.
Was really happy to see that you actually went and shiny hunted all of them instead of making the odds like 1/100 and it just being a normal nuzlocke with sparkles lol
@@no.6808why are you insisting it’s a man when it’s a little digital punchy bug? If it doesn’t affect you, why do you care? Imagine caring about something that doesn’t effect you in any way and only effects the person and maybe partner. It’s like being mad someone else is eating cake while you’re on a diet
I feel like HG/SS was amazing at every aspect of a Pokemon game… except the actual Pokemon. Amazing music, side events, story, and more but the battles really fell flat
The odds of getting a shiny female totodile with adament nature, 31 attack IVs, and pokerus is 1/(8192*8*25*32*21845), Or 1:1,145,307,136,000 One in a trillion.
i do consider that pkhexing to change that heracross nature to be cheating though, really should have just used what you got and rolled with the punches
@@biggrayalien4791 you obviously do not understand what a nuzlocke is so please do not talk as if you do you are only looking worse for it ok? he did cheat and break the rules so the nuzlocke is considered invalid even if he was doing it for fun
My first shiny was a Wurmple in pokemon Sapbire. I didn't even knew what a shin was but I had never seen a purple Wurmple, so it had to be in the team!
As I'm watching this I'm playing SS on my second monitor. I just beat Claire and am heading to the master to get the badge in dragon cave. And, no joke, I just found a SHINY DRATINI WHILE SURFING.
YOOO, I hatched a Shiny Spiritomb while watching this! It was just as I got to the part about the final hunt, too. And then I found a random Shiny Cufant during the battle against Red?????
My first shiny was also a makuhita I found in granite cave! For whatever reason, I thought it was pokerus, which I did know about (I think the anime had mentioned it?) because I didn't know what a shiny was
The level cap in johto is terrible and i dont remember that at all, but having 16 gyms was awesome and i hope they make a pokemon game with EVERY region at some point and make it a true MMO (im delusional)
@ 12:00 At least it has Pickup which is super useful. It’s actually my favorite Ability in Pokémon because of how handy it is for getting so many good items such as Ethers and Elixirs that you can’t buy at a Pokémart.
For the people talking about the cheating, I typically group Poketubers into two categories: storyteller and technician. Kidd is all about the narrative, rather than showing us all the move deliberations and damage calcs. The fact that he killed the shiny Ho-Oh after hunting it puts him solidly in the category. Having the transgender Heracross makes the story more interesting, so I go with it. If pchal did something like that, I'd be seriously annoyed because he's all about the numbers. Also, the one Poketuber that I think fits across both categories is FlygonHG. He somehow manages to go into the nerdy details and still tell a good story. Totally underrated.
I recently got my hands on a copy of HG and played it for the first time and honestly, I didn’t struggle with Whitney either. However, Bugsy kicked my ass twice before I got the eventual win. That was only because of Onix too
I remember watching the ghastly hunt on yt about a year ago and honestly i am shocked you ever got him. So many odd things i noticed in this video that gave me nostalgia like your standing desk and how the greenscreen couldnt reach high enough. Anyway thanks for being such an entertaining creator for this long kidd i hope you continue to make baller videos
Tbh, part of me is a bit disappointed this was deathless. Like yeah, it’s awesome you didn’t have to do any more shiny hunting than you did, but idk, I felt like it would’ve been more emotional. Or maybe I’m just a sadist, who knows. . . Edit: okay so I didn’t watch the video fully through, I was close to the end when I wrote this comment, and apparently it wasn’t fully deathless. RIP Pink Heracross, my point still stands though. Edit edit: OH CHRIST OKAY LOTS OF DEATHS THAT WERENT SHOWN RIGHT AT THE END HUH. I was always rooting for my girl Deku, very glad she made it through.
29:02 - yo, my first random shiny was in Dewford as well, good old Goldi the Geodude. I actually transferred her up to my SoulSilver Game a while back lol.
13:05 'good karma', he says. Your starter would have eaten five years of GOOD luck for me with the rate I find these things RAW (which is basically never)!
Why is Totodile always the shiny? Smant got a Totodile, you got two totodiles, when I tried this I also got a Totodile. The Shiny Gods just really like Totodile.
I was playing pokemon unbound and I was hatching eggs to fill out my dex. The game was on high fast forward the first egg I went like wait is that shiny but I decided to hatch the rest of them before checking and the last one of the bunch was actually a shiny totodile

I wanna know the full odds
1/35,790,848,000 is about the odds of this happening
1/8192 for the shiny at all
1/8 for female
1/25 for a specific nature
~1/21845 for pokerus
and to be more specific multiply that by 3 for it being specifically tododile which would be *1/107,372,544,000*
Chances and probability are weird as hell so this may not be 100% accurate but it defo puts it into perspective how rare this is
dont forget the perfect attack iv
