I'm kinda relieved you didn't get a shiny for two days. It usually seems like the RUclipsrs have better luck than the rest of us. That said, I hope things turn around soon.
indeed, been feeling like niantic turned off shinies for some accounts like mine XD over 150 phantumps, 200 pumpkaboos and more than 500 pokemon caught with not a single shiny 💀 not to mention the last shiny i caught prior to this event was during timber comm day...
@@bellephantoThat's really not unusual, 500 Pokémon caught isn't much. It's just random, the same chance every time - you might get it on 1, you might get it on 1000. Or 10,000.
@@bellephanto Statistically speaking, if you shiny check 1000 pokemons there would still be a 18% something chance (i forgot how much exactly, but definitely not under 15%) you wouldn't get any shiny. This is pure mathematics btw
8:35 This turned out to be my favorite spot to catch pokes in LB. The whole area from the end of the "JHook" all the way to the lighthouse had a ton of pokestops. They aren't as dense here in rural Washington 😢 Great video
I just did my first cliff of this event and first leader of the event.. and got Shiny Dratini on the first go while watching this video… side note I haven’t battled a leader in months
I will say that is a huge gripe I have with the rocket takeover events. They always spawn so many grunts at stops that you can never find leaders. Whenever these events come around I will end up just sitting on a radar for 3 hours until a balloon shows up because you just cant find any leaders at stops.
Bro I just watched your video last night and first rocket leader today shiny dratini. I credit you and your efforts lol dragonite has always been my favorite Pokémon so big thanks man:)
I love that you catch your shinies in pokeballs. Im the same way, i wont catch anything i care about in anything other than a pokeball. Its all about the aesthetic.
Feel like the salazzle counts as a shiny man - nice job! Good luck finding an actual shiny - I've been lucky enough to have got one from this event, but it is galarian zigzagoon, which isn't the most exciting find
I enjoyed the video. I battled Arlo three times in total (C twice, S once, decoys 0), and I have two shiny shadow Bellsprout now. I feel a bit sorry for you! I wish you good luck.
Keep shiny checking man! I finally got my shiny costume vulpix yesterday. Now I really WANT a shiny shadow, of anything really. Also, hope you didn’t forget to NOT spin a stop 😂
Did a very similar strategy as you did for this video. I didn't do 100 grunts but that's because I'm more rural than Long Beach. Although my first Sierra from the balloon was a shiny S. Sableye.. ivs meh like normal but I'll cherish it nonetheless
Unlike previous years Halloween event, the bonus was guaranteed double candy awards once a pokemon successfully caught. But this year candy awards depend on which type of ball throw on the pokemon that successfully caught. Also the worst 👎 Halloween event bonus up to date.
I've found that if you switch over to your second Pokemon while battleing will sometimes cause the grunt to give you their second Pokemon instead of the first one. Personal observation. :)
Im glad I didnt go out and hunt for a shiny shadow. Haha, I only have 1 shiny shadow pokemon. Wait maybe two... but thats after fighting hundreds of TR members.
We went out with my friend for a 4 hour long walk around the city trying to hunt shadow cranidos or shadow rhyhorn. Guess how many of them we caught? 😊
same but also excadrill and shieldon, and same also 0 - i think thats normal. they just got added to the pool, and the pool is GIGANTIC.... so each announcement is going to be less and less possible to have a shundo of
I've caught 3 XXL fake buddies & when they changed over to Zorua unfortunately none of them ended up being XXL. The first one hurt, the next 2 in a row was just rough. Never been so lucky & unlucky with XXL. Edit. Make that 4 fake XXL buddies, 3 in a row. wtf lol
Oh I immediately wondered if the decoys work for hunting Bellsprout. I think I'll do that from time to time 👀 I hope Factor sources their beet juice from Schrute Farms :) ルカリオ is correct ^^ The new Phantump hat is neat. I hope it helps with the shiny luck!
I think I hatched around 200 12ks with 20 Salandits and finally got my female about 2 months ago! Named her Papa after my one in Scarlet and Violet and my first male Baby
FYI, you screwed up with your lucario. You should always give a second charge attack to babies BEFORE you evolve it. It will save you a ton of candy and dust
level 44 and still don't have a shadow shiny. meanwhile my brother who who hadn't opened the app in years (level 32) battles a leader and gets a shadow shiny Charmander his very first leader battle.
So far have gone out to get a decent shadow pokemon for two days. Got like around 40 and not a single shiny. My luck is just not there, unfortunately. I still have one more day tho wish me luck
PLEASE HELP ME. I currently have misunderstood mischief as well as from the shadows mission which didn’t stop me from getting the research previously, so why haven’t I gotten it yet?
Use code TRAINERTIPS50 to get 50% off your first Factor box at bit.ly/3PW1DOo! Thank you to Factor for sponsoring this video!
Yo is Pokémon videos your only job or do you have something going on on the side?
Congrats on the sponsorship 🙌🏼
I life in thailand, I like sponsor of your , love love
Just unsubscribed, not a fan of the ads!! 👎🏻
Got a pretty solid 3 star dratini on my first leader battle this event so I can only assume it's all downhill from here 😂
Same bro 12-12-15 first one
15-15-15 hundo and 0-0-0 nundo dratini for me.
@@ryangreen1141😂 nundo is hilarious
My first dratini was 15-13-15 i aint ever getting something better
Think mine was 13-12-14, probably not gonna see another 3 star for a LONG time

I feel the same way, and I kind of feel bad for it, but at the same time I definitely feel like Niantic finds a way to skew it for some folks.
@@andybiz4273how would they do that? Alter account specific code? That sounds insane

My wife and I love Factor and have been customers of theirs for many years now. Cool to see them sponsoring your content.
No. It's the opposite of cool. It's very uncool. Borderline bullshit actually. Like there's not enough ads on youtube already?
don't forget to battle a Grunt that says "Do you know how hot Fire Pokemon can breathe?" because you'll get a Costume Shadow Vulpix...
😊 No shiny but still entertaining! Been watching the channel the last couple years, loving your energy Nick! Must be the Factor! lol.
At like 6:50 you should’ve tried doing that Homer meme with the bush 😂 great video 🎉
13:48 - If you'd've had a balloon there, it'd've been Giovanni anyway. 🤣
#Edit: 14:10 - I could've waited 25 seconds posting this... 🤐

it's kinda the theme of the game nowadays: remember to do million things or your plans fail and you'll get frustrated.
I be waiting 7 years to meet you, I can’t believe that next week you gonna come to Mexico…so excited!!!
hopefully we'll get a part 2 very soon, good luck Nick !!
How hard can it be, that for said day of the event started, to set the new line ups for the shadow Pokémon.
Been watching since like 2019 when I started college. So glad that i can still watch your vids
I really dig the new line up the rockets have, some good mons like you mentioned in your other video.
Bro I just watched your video last night and first rocket leader today shiny dratini. I credit you and your efforts lol dragonite has always been my favorite Pokémon so big thanks man:)

Always double move Lucario before evolving!!! 16:27
We’ve used Factor for a couple years now, and we LOVE THEM.
skate boarding while filming and playing PoGo LOL

I've never run onto a Decoy Grunt but being rural means less opportunities for most of the game. Edit: I did get shiny outfit Gengar.
I’ve been checking everything and actively hunting down Phantump tasks. Seems like I only get the shinies that I’m not looking for. 😂
Same or I get ones I already have. Tyrunt, phantump and turtwig are ones I really tried hard to get and of course didn’t get one
@@jmoriarty8000 I got Turtwig thanks to ComDay, but still hunting for the other two!
Such an inspiring speech for that final shiny check, shame it didn't go according to plan.
Nick, kind of random but I’m jealous of how much counter space you have in your kitchen haha
🎉congratulations on the 1m
Amazing video bro I love when you make these types of videos!!
Factor meals are So Good! Nice video!
I completed the Giovanni research got a regigigas and now have officially quit the event
I enjoyed the video. I battled Arlo three times in total (C twice, S once, decoys 0), and I have two shiny shadow Bellsprout now. I feel a bit sorry for you! I wish you good luck.
hope to see more content from you soon! I have heard that level 60 might be a real thing.
Is it just me or does Nick's outfit on day 2 look like the opening scene of Ace Ventura when Jim Carrey is dressed as a delivery guy?
Keep shiny checking man! I finally got my shiny costume vulpix yesterday. Now I really WANT a shiny shadow, of anything really.
Also, hope you didn’t forget to NOT spin a stop 😂

I’ve been checking grunts all weekend and only found one gastly and one litwick… you weren’t kidding when you said they’re the rare encounters

Nick, I think your first mistake was believing the shiny odds to be in your favor 😅😅
No way female salandit! Also props to skating while playing AND recording, don't know how you do it!
12:09 safety last my guy 😂
Dont need No light to see you …..
I've found that if you switch over to your second Pokemon while battleing will sometimes cause the grunt to give you their second Pokemon instead of the first one. Personal observation. :)
It’s so crazy to me to know that I’m not the only one who catches all their shinies in pokeballs 😂
I just hatched a shiny Vullaby with decent enough stats for pvp 💪
Im glad I didnt go out and hunt for a shiny shadow. Haha, I only have 1 shiny shadow pokemon. Wait maybe two... but thats after fighting hundreds of TR members.
also something i saw yesterday was that a regular grass grunt had bellsprout too
I hope you find your shiny shadow ☹️🤞🏽 still looking for more as well. The dratini would be amazing
We went out with my friend for a 4 hour long walk around the city trying to hunt shadow cranidos or shadow rhyhorn. Guess how many of them we caught? 😊

Grrrh so disappointing. Another event verging on a wicked scam.
I'm pretty sure a Twitch stream will boost your luck! 😉
On my first cliff encounter I got a shiny Dratini so I know my luck is going to be terrible for the rest of the event
I swear the grunts have full odd shinies as I’ve never gotten a shiny from a grunt.
Regular and or daily incense to help with shiny checks?
You'll need Adam or Liquid Ken for the shiny charm boost 😂
I've caught 3 XXL fake buddies & when they changed over to Zorua unfortunately none of them ended up being XXL.
The first one hurt, the next 2 in a row was just rough. Never been so lucky & unlucky with XXL.
Edit. Make that 4 fake XXL buddies, 3 in a row. wtf lol
I haven’t been able to catch a single shiny the entire Halloween event I’ve been playing like crazy too
BEST CONTENT CREATORRR
Hey nick! What case are you using??
That thumbnail is so great lol
My wife got a shiny bellsprout on the first battle lol
I lucked out and got shiny Spiritomb in the last hour when I finally finished that research
i didnt realise how rare the shadow shiny bellsprout was i managed to get it my first battle
why you're playing always alone? but you have your meal, thats enough.
maybe theres something to catching more pokemon to have a higher chance of running into shinies. or this was plain badluck
Oh I immediately wondered if the decoys work for hunting Bellsprout. I think I'll do that from time to time 👀
I hope Factor sources their beet juice from Schrute Farms :)
ルカリオ is correct ^^

Ahahaha gota caught them all ‼️‼️🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 fun
Got my self a 96% iv dratini earlier today not a shiny but pretty good
Idk how to explain it but the background in the beginning of the video doesn't look real🤣
Looks like a PS2 game
I’ve battled 944 team rocket members and I literally have never gotten a shadow shiny. Idk what the odds are but that feels profoundly unlucky lol
Hey trainer tips I know you already know but if you purified that geo dude you got it would be a hundo 👍
When you know he knows it why you say it?it makes no sense
Damn my dude you really bite down on that fork
My shadow dragon it for GL absolutely wrecks house. Especially with superpower
I heard decoy grunts would not have shiny bellsprout?
Did someone forget to add the extra move to Riolu before evolving?
What is this guys phone case and pop socket?
I've got 3 remote raid passes. If I buy a box from the online store that also has 3, will it work? Or will it eat one and only give me 2?
Cliff awarded me w/shiny shadow dratini on my first ballon of the day
Watching this video really makes me want to go to LB to play Pogo.
I picked up a shiny shadow grimer yesterday from a grunt! Unexpected!
FYI, you screwed up with your lucario. You should always give a second charge attack to babies BEFORE you evolve it. It will save you a ton of candy and dust
Stay strong brother
level 44 and still don't have a shadow shiny. meanwhile my brother who who hadn't opened the app in years (level 32) battles a leader and gets a shadow shiny Charmander his very first leader battle.
Guy's am I the only one who thinks that the leaders are Hella buff now
Fabulous I say good luck ‼️‼️😊 Halloween is fun 🎃
So far have gone out to get a decent shadow pokemon for two days. Got like around 40 and not a single shiny. My luck is just not there, unfortunately. I still have one more day tho wish me luck
Poor guy I got dratini first try lol you’ll get it eventually
Your only mistake was caring in the first place. ;)
0 shinny for me as well xD but I haven't battled that many rockets 😅
4:38 For your ASMR needs
Wheres shadow registeel? Did they just skip it lol
Bellsprout can be caught from normal grunts atm aswell
Bring back the GO battle music please!
i got a shiny shadow dratini first try
PLEASE HELP ME. I currently have misunderstood mischief as well as from the shadows mission which didn’t stop me from getting the research previously, so why haven’t I gotten it yet?
I have completed shadow skirmishes and from the shadows
It’s trainer tips vs JT valor. Who will get the shiny bellsprout first!
Got 1 shiny shadow draniti but nothing shiny or shundo on my part in this event
Nick you are the man
Sad how they only gave us ONE new shiny shadow… 😢 RIP
Bellsprout,Dratini?
Where is your shirt from my guy?
