Extra dingus points if you can spot the part where a shiny Pokemon magically returns to its regular colours for a couple of seconds, which was *definitely* intentional! Have a great day! :D
I found a shiny Absol once in XY. I was on my very last ball, so I went “I’ll give it ooone hit to give myself better odds to catch it”. …critical hit, and my Pokémon went “It did a critical hit because it loves you!”. I was crushed.
I can ABSOLUTELY relate to #1. That exact scenario hasn't happened to me, but similar things have, where you just get in the groove of resetting, and then you see what you're looking for for less than a second before BAM It's gone forever
I have another one. It's called "accidentally hitting the run button". I found a shiny Audino in Black, and was like "Why is this purple? I'll get it with a quick ball." Then I hit run instead of bag. Then I googled purple Audino and had my day ruined. And then a few years later, in Omega Ruby, random encounter shiny Audino. I choose to believe they are the same one
I found one in White, and I used a False Swipe and successfully caught it. Boy, did my heart almost leap out of my chest when I looked at it in the PC and saw that it had Double-Edge. _Phew..._
The first shiny I ever saw was a shiny Electrode in the power plant in Leaf Green. I was confused by it being blue on the bottom instead of red so I assumed my game had glitched. I restarted my GameBoy and was happy to click on the PokeBall on the ground to find a normal Electrode with red on the bottom, thinking that I fixed the glitch. I later looked up what might've caused that and learned all about shiny Pokemon, and I kicked myself for letting that one go without even knowing how rare it was.
I saw a post where someone said their latias they found was the wrong color and asked a message board what was going on. The first response was "its a glitch, just reset your game and it will be fine" with the first person responding "That fixed it, thanks" This haunts me...
I had what felt like a near-death experience when hunting wild snom, I almost missed the shiny sparkles and I was tired so I didn’t see that it was light green instead of white. Luckily, I was facetiming my friend, he heard the shiny sparkles and started freaking out. I was one press of the A button away from shadow clawing that thing into oblivion.
@Pissed Off White Guy look, buddy... the shiny odds are 1/8172 before gen 5, and even then, they're alot... And, a randomizer chooses randomly from all Pokemon in existence... So, to get that ONE specific shiny is rare af...
Well, the first time it happened I didn’t realize it was shiny until I saw the regular version. The second time, I was going to the bag button to get a poke ball, and then I accidentally hit the “A” button on “Run”.
The second type of uncatchable is a big problem in the Johto games, with two fairly long routes, which you have to cross twice, between you and Pokeballs
So, during my casual shield play through, I found 2 random full odds shinies without actually looking for them. They were a dugtrio and galarian mr mime if you were wondering
I randomly found a shiny Sneazel and shiny Amoongus within an hour in Pokémon Scarlet, both at full odds while just making my way from the Ice gym to the Fighting Team Star hideout! Then a few minutes after catching the second shiny, the game crashed and Amoongus was gone for a moment, but luckily when I loaded the automatic backup save, it was back in my box.
I remember I was 5 and I just got Pokémon emerald. My uncle joe got me the game along with a grey GBA. My siblings got similar gifts. I remember him telling me about the Pokémon on the cover and if u ever see a black one throw the purple ball. He had also said the same thing to my sister who got sapphire. Sure enough I found the black rayquaza after really struggling in my first ever play through! I remember crying about the elite 4 and getting lost in the ocean.(I was young and didn’t save my progress a lot) Nevertheless I loved every minute of it. I forgot what exactly I got from him for catching it. Just the memory that started it all. I still have a backpack full of old gbas nintendo ds and every game from gen 1-4
The two shinies at once issue can also happen in generation 4! In Eterna forest you can get double battle wild encounters, both of which can be shiny. if that wasn’t bad enough, often times the two shiny animations playing at once would cause the game to crash, losing both shinies.
9:45 "You lost the concentration click the wrong button" I mean you soft reset it for 2413 times, your body would definitely remember to soft reset it the next one. its all muscle memory
@@ootfan7882 you can include looking at it before resetting part of that muscle memory by waiting an extra second. I have encountered a lot of shinies through soft resetting and I will NEVER skip one.
To be honest, this really seems like the most likely way to lose a shiny. I'm not a shiny hunter but I have done similar things in games with rng where you just soft reset until you get the numbers you want
As a kid I came across a Shiny Ghastly in Pokemon HG in the bellsprout tower.. at that point you dont have pokeballs yet.. So I went to a pokemart and bought pokeballs and kept running in the same spot believing it'd show up again..
my first and worst shiny fail was a full odds random dugtrio that I had encountered in a new save. It had swept my entire underleveled team and broke out of every ball i threw😔the worst part was the feeling of being at my last two pokemon and just knowing that i couldn't catch it, but not wanting to admit it💀💀
UNCATCHABLE SHINIES PART 3: Helping Wally catch a Shiny Ralts. Then having to go through the whole game with him waving it in your face every time you battle each other.
It’s not possible because his Ralts will only stay shiny if he catches it. During the battle before the Elite Four and the battle before you challenge Wattson in the Mauville City, his Kirlia/Gardevoir is not shiny anymorr.
Abra, Magikarp, and Bidoof all have a base Catch Rate Multiplier _(ranges from 3 to 255)_ so high that a turn one Quick Ball might as well be a Master Ball.
In Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald there is something known as Battery Glitch where when the battery on the cartridge runs out (Emerald is active by default because of a programmer error) the RNG gets fixed. This removes most of the random chance from finding a shiny. When a new game starts or the battery runs dry the shiny encounter is set to a specific frame (for this example we will say frame #10 out of 8042) that when you encounter a Pokémon on that frame the Pokémon has a 1/7 chance of being shiny. This means that, assuming 60 FPS, if you start the encounter at exactly 1/6th of a second after starting the game there is a high chance for a shiny. If you’re playing on Emerald or your cartridge says the battery is empty then finding the Poochyena means that there’s a high chance of finding a shiny if you keep resetting the exact same way. This also means that if the shiny frame is frame #540 then you have to wait 9 seconds to start the encounter or else there’s no chance of the Pokémon being shiny.
I felt that last one. I never have played a game that has shinys in it yet. But the amount of times I’ve been mindlessly clicking or doing something in a game and screwed up something I didn’t want to is insane
It's possible to do that but almost impossible. You really have to not pay attention and honestly be kinda stupid to do that. With that being said I've done it a couple times albeit mainly with wormhole stuff
Find a shiny, but the coloration change is so minimal you can't tell it's shiny and you were listening to a podcast or something so you couldn't hear the sparkle.
Coming in really late but agreeeeed on number 1. I lost a Pichu when I was trying to get a shiny Alolan Raichu due to being distracted and killing it by mistake. I looked over right as it was in it's death animation and that killed me hunting for shinies for a long time after that.
I accidentally ran away from a shiny Scraggy in Pokémon black, because I didn’t see the sparkles… it is my one and only shiny failure to this day, and I still feel salty about it now… 😢 Also, I love your vids CanyEvie! Great job on this one as always! 😊
Here's one I'm sure some people have done, even if they don't know it: not realizing a pokemon is shiny in the first place. This can happen one of two ways: 1) a new player who doesn't know about shinies at all sees one, thinks, "oh, that's odd," and kills it/runs away. 2) you glance away long enough to miss the sparkles from a shiny that looks almost identical to its base appearance. Things like Seel, Elekid, or the Regice I'm currently staring at wondering if I should go through the trouble of catching it or just try again and hope I'm not making a mistake.
Shiny fail 11: Catching a shiny Pokémon on a busted cartridge that won't hold save files anymore. I have dealt with bad cartridges, but luckily never lost a shiny to one.
The most depressing shiny Pokémon I have ever failed is when I ran into a random shiny scyther, and managed to catch it in a quick ball, but then I closed my game and forgot to save.
same with me and even worse it was a shiny boldore which is one of the best shinies by looks and why I did it I thought that team plasma is inserting daimonds in boldore
Similar thing happened to me, I didn't know what a shiny was, I caught it because I didn't have that particular Pokemon, but because I didn't know it's value at the time I reset the game....good thing I'm not a shiny hunter or don't really care too much about it lol*internally cries*
Why would anyone do that???? I would have felt blessed and captured it XDDD like, I NEVER think about glitches or things like that, and it's just a pokémon with another color, it's not a deformed pokémon or something 👍🤣🤣🤣👍
@@Celestial-uq4ru i know that, but I still cannot conceive how would anyone think the game is broken for something that could be just a different skin ya know?
#1 happened to me - I wasn't listening to audio OR shiny hunting, so I didn't notice the shiny Wooper. So I did a gen 8 Masuda/Charm combo to replace what I ran from.
The first shiny I ever found was a ghastly in the haunted mansion thing in Pearl. I didn’t have enough balls to catch him, went and bought more, came back and he showed up again
*A wild wurmple appeared! *Me: Not again... *ding *sparkles* *Run *Me: wait...WAIT NOOOO, THAT WAS PURPLE, MY RED SANDSLASH WOULD FINALLY HAVE A FRIEND, NOOO! I was little, didn't know what a shiny was, playing sapphire, already found a shiny Sandshrew, then saw that, ran, and I cried. that data is gone now, but I'm hoping to find him again, I remember his gender surprisingly...
Lucariokid i ran from a shiny joltic when i was 9 or so because i was in a cave and didn't know what repels were so when i got an encounter i just kept tapping "run" :'(
One time I encountered a shiny wild abra. At first I was just amazed, but that amazement soon turned to a sheer, unrivaled magnitude of suspense when I realized it would only know teleport. I only had one move to catch a shiny, or I'd likely never see it again.. This sort of feeling is both terrifying and thrilling: the feeling you get when you have a once-in-a-lifetime chance, and your success can only be acted upon by the improbable whims of the universe. (I caught the abra, though.)
Funny story on running away from a shiny, back in X and Y I was looking for the low encounter rate hydraigon by Victory road. I was doing it for a good few hours and at one point I ran into a shiny fearow however by then I was not even paying attention that I hit run but just as I did I looked back at the game and saw that it was a shiny Fearow. Needless to say after that I stopped looking for the low encounter rate Hydraigon and definitely my biggest shiny loss I ever had.
The other day, I encountered a Shiny Poochyena. I called a friend so he can watch me catch it, but he instead witnessed me failing it when after I switched to Manectric to paralyze it, it Roared. But that is not the worst Shiny fail I had. A year ago, I luckily found a Calm Shiny Feebas, meaning I can evolve it into a Milotic. And then a few days after trading, my save file got corrupted. But atleast I managed to get a video of the latter.
Having to actually encounter it yourself feels like a drug, the excitement and everything after hundreds if not thousands of resets is unmatchable. I become extremely focused when I encounter a shiny and always come prepared so I dont worry about fucking up(I did fuck up trying to hunt shiny rayquaza cause he ran out of moves so I booted off my masterball to him). I got my shiny Kyurem on UM couple days ago and now trying to shiny hunt starter treecko in OR/AS
it really is just like gambling, but rather than wasting money you waste time. hundreds of hours put into looking for it, but once you find it, the thrill of “winning” psyches you up.
@@spoopy5299 i've had pokemon break free in single player raids that weren't event boosted mons. like, every time i try to catch a Max Raid mon like... frick what was it called, i already forgot most of the galar pokemon after i picked up Shining Pearl and Legends Arceus
5:47 My rival got a shiny Ralts once. It was one of the first shinies I'd ever seen. I didn't think much of it until years later when I realized how rare they were and how rare they would be for a rival to get.
Spent two hours looking for a female Salandit on Pokémon Moon, to eventually evolve into a Salazzle for my Pokédex, I just wanted a standard one.. one shows up, yeah.. but in the company of a shiny Male! Thankfully I saw sense and captured the shiny Male, even though annoyed that I would not be able evolve it.. and then it took another hour to catch that elusive female one.. sigh..
A story I’ll always remember, when I was younger I thought the game lagged or was bad because I didn’t know what saving did, I was playing through my backtracking strange game and found a shiny dodou. Unlike most stories I thought it was a weird cute green glitched version and caught it. I didn’t save my game and lost my weird bird.
A few years later I used to play Pokémon at the lunch table at school and encountered a shiny golbat it always makes me smile thinking about me and all my friends around the table freaking out about my shiny golbat. I was a good 2 seconds from running away because it was too loud to hear the noise and I wasn’t paying attention till someone screamed at me that it was a shiny. it became one of my favorites and for some reason took me forever to evolve. I encountered another at that same lunch table the same year I just forgot what it was called.
I failed a shiny Whismur while training in victory road in Emerald. The thing is almost every pokemon you find there knows a move that ends the battle. The Whismur used roar and that was it.
back in like 2010 i remember finding a pokemon with those little stars that pop up and thinking that it was something with the passive abilities or something. thanks to this video i realized what had happened there. im a total noob.
What’s interesting for me is when I encountered my first shiny Pokémon.( It was a shiny makuhita in the caves of dearies island in Pokémon emerald.) I of course had no idea what it was. I thought to myself “did the game glitch or something?” But i actually caught it to show my friends who introduced me to Pokémon who told me it was a shiny. So I guess I have bragging rights because I didn’t mistake it for a glitch and showed it my friends. I’m Not belittling anyone of course because I totally understand the mistake.
I was shain fishing in ORAS and I was like : "I'am bored last 5 encouters"... The fifth was a shiny but my DS fell and the SD card went off... I took my revenge and caught all he's family
I failed my first shiny last night on Let’s Go, spent 8 hours hunting Gastly and when I finally found him he ran away from me 😭 I legit cried, but pulled myself together, restarted and about an hour later I found another shiny Gastly which I caught and named Dracula
@@vanthemanproductions9185 wow what’s the chance you send this to me after I fail another shiny, hunting Shiny Latias, found it at just under 4x odds, it struggled and killed itself, I’m still carrying on though because I’m an idiot
i've never really had this issue but i imagine a lot of people have failed shinies simply because the shiny just looks so damn similar to the normal coloring so if you don't notice the sparkle you're screwed. EDIT: a couple months after sending this comment i had my first shiny fail. fainted a shiny eevee because my dog distracted me while i was dexnav chaining and i was just mashing A so i didn't notice til it was too late. i spent weeks hunting for another one i was so angry (i did get one tho).
I actually failed a Shiny Basculin this way. I wasn’t paying attention to my game and didn’t see my screen, so...I ran from it. Afterward I went to my Pokédex and scrolled down to Basculin, and sure enough, shiny red-stripe Basculin had been registered as “seen” in my Dex. This is the ONLY shiny I’ve ever failed.
Oh my god, war flashbacks. My first Pokemon game was Pokemon White, and I encountered a shiny Heatmor, and I didn't even know what a shiny was at that point, but I caught it because it was a different colour to any other heatmor, but then I had to leave on a trip and I forgot to save. I NEVER FORGET TO SAVE, WHY THE HELL DID IT HAVE TO ONLY HAPPEN THEN?
I ran into a random shiny swarm Beldum in Platinum, and I wasnt prepared at all but weakened and put it to sleep, and failed ultra ball after ultra ball until he struggled and fainted. I was so upset I lost him, that i decided to go after my first chain shiny, I spent the next 6 hours getting a chain to 40 in the sandstorm. Then finally got my redemption chance, and caught me a shiny Beldum. Felt amazing to redeem myself after that L
Wow, I remember watching your videos 3 years ago on my DS, I always found these so entertaining! Now that I’m back into Pokémon I have started watching your videos again and I think they’re great!
in sun and moon, i found a shiny wingull and got insanely exited, but then the worst thing possible happened. i forgot to save the game and it got deleted.
FuzzyBunny2023 i dropped my 3ds after catching lunala, and the cartridge came out, it also happened after i caught niheligo. I legitimately almost vowed to never play the game again
"moves that make the Pokemon faint." *wORLD WAR 2 FLASH BACKS OF SHINY SPIRITOMB FAINTING IN ALPHA SAPPHIRE* "Soft reseting or fleeing from a shiny." *MORE FLASH BACKS OF SOFT RESETING OVER SHINY TYPE NULL*
Hipster Fish Yes. That Spiritomb that you can only get once. Mine isn't shiny. I is sad. ;-;. I feel the losses. I found uxie that wasn't a shiny. But i killed it by accident ;-;
When I was playing Silver for the first time, my first Ho-Oh was shiny. But! I didn't realize it at the time, or even know what shinies were. I just thought it was an animation legendaries had. I accidentally fainted it with a crit Flame Wheel, them reset to catch it again, where it wasn't shiny. I didn't even realize what happened until I got way more into Pokemon later that year and it dawned on me.
Around 8 years ago I was 12 and my main pokemon game was soulsilver I didn't have a 2nd game and didn't want to reset so I played the story again without saving by just leaving my ds on charge and I found a miltank my first shiny ever and I still think about it to this day
My first shiny: A wurmple, but... i had no pokeballs *DAMM YOU GAME* Just give me pokeballs before i go in the grass alright? It was the first incounter to...
The first shiny I've ever encountered was a Wurmple as well that I evolved into a shiny dustox....that I stupidly wonder-traded... I'm making up for it now by shiny breeding through the Masuda method. Got a few shiny Magikarp/Gyarados now...after hatching several hundred eggs 😅
I keep coming back to this video because I love the presentation and also because of the sympathy factor from watching the clips (I've personally never lost a Shiny, but I feel for others who have). I do have one story which, thankfully, has a happy ending, and it involves happening upon a Shiny Weezing in the Johto Safari Zone in Pokémon SoulSilver. I was playing the game on a bus, so I had to contain my excitement somewhat so I wouldn't embarrass myself in front of the other passengers, but I still gasped and my eyes widened the moment I saw the Shiny and my breathing got a little bit faster. I could feel my chest, shoulders and wrists quiver because this was the closest I had ever got to potentially losing a Shiny and I knew that there was every chance that this Safari Zone Shiny could escape at any turn. I can't remember what I did to ensure that the Shiny Weezing would be caught (I might have fed it once or twice), but what I do remember is catching it on either the first or second ball. I couldn't believe it! I thought I had to go through a few balls before one of two things would happen. I whispered a little "Yes!" under my breath and the Shiny Weezing is still sitting in my SoulSilver PC to this day.
@@israellai Animals with different colourations happen in nature though. And yes, they're incredibly rare. I think it's a really cool aspect to Pokemon because of that.
@@israellai regretting? If anything that's good for them lol, it gets more buyers and people spending more time than needed on a discolored virtual animal
I've seen that Treecko video in other Shiny fail videos, and it's one of the most memorable ever. So sorry that was actually you! Love your videos by the way, you are very clever and funny
I recently caught a Shiny Lugia When I saw its stats, he had 0pp in every move So that means that if that Ball has failed... He would have used Struggle... And....
There's always picking the wrong hord target. I got mixed up about which icon translated to what Pokemon and accidentally Solar Beamed a shiny Zigzagoon right in the face. Thankfully, I had already caught one before, but I still felt like a total pea brain and Vileploom went on a temporary time out.
@@Max-cs5wt on gen 8, you can always just create a new account and play on a different language until you get the chance to catch a ditto. Or you can get them from trades
One for me is the shinies that dont look that different from regular versions. I had a shiny chansey in ultra sun from grinding XP. I legitimately could not tell if he was shiny or not and also wasn't paying attention to the sparkle intro animation.. Thankfully i decided to catch it but man i could imagine if someone decided to do that during stream because they didn't see the sparkle at the intro.
I don't think I've ever failed a shiny. Although, most of my shinys were action replay produced. It took me forever to realize I don't have to weaken the legendary before using the masterball.
My worst shiny fail in any game was when I first started playing pokemon games. I was in pokemon silver, and levelling up pokemon before Chuck, so i was breaking rocks and surfing. A shiny shuckle appeared, and I wasn’t aware of what shinies were... I thought it was a bug and reset the game completely. To this day, as a newish shiny hunter, that shuckle still haunts me... I should try full odds shiny hunting in Silver for it again so I can redeem myself.
I hope you reclaim it quickly if you do hunt it! 💫 I can relate, I accidentally ran from a shiny Girafarig in Emerald around 2006 (had the sound off and was in the car). I plan to reclaim it for sure

I have another one. It's called "accidentally hitting the run button".
I found a shiny Audino in Black, and was like "Why is this purple? I'll get it with a quick ball."
Then I hit run instead of bag.
Then I googled purple Audino and had my day ruined.
And then a few years later, in Omega Ruby, random encounter shiny Audino. I choose to believe they are the same one
all they wanted was to be your cool partner, and so they took a boat to hoenn, knowing that you would go there and catch them
Lol yep. I was so freaking happy when I found it.
I found one in White, and I used a False Swipe and successfully caught it.
Boy, did my heart almost leap out of my chest when I looked at it in the PC and saw that it had Double-Edge.

Angelskyz Gacha How do you not realize that it's shiny?
I hadn’t seen the Pokémon before, and I didn’t see the sparkle.
The second type of uncatchable is a big problem in the Johto games, with two fairly long routes, which you have to cross twice, between you and Pokeballs
So, during my casual shield play through, I found 2 random full odds shinies without actually looking for them. They were a dugtrio and galarian mr mime if you were wondering
I randomly found a shiny Sneazel and shiny Amoongus within an hour in Pokémon Scarlet, both at full odds while just making my way from the Ice gym to the Fighting Team Star hideout!
Then a few minutes after catching the second shiny, the game crashed and Amoongus was gone for a moment, but luckily when I loaded the automatic backup save, it was back in my box.

I remember I was 5 and I just got Pokémon emerald. My uncle joe got me the game along with a grey GBA. My siblings got similar gifts. I remember him telling me about the Pokémon on the cover and if u ever see a black one throw the purple ball. He had also said the same thing to my sister who got sapphire. Sure enough I found the black rayquaza after really struggling in my first ever play through! I remember crying about the elite 4 and getting lost in the ocean.(I was young and didn’t save my progress a lot) Nevertheless I loved every minute of it. I forgot what exactly I got from him for catching it. Just the memory that started it all. I still have a backpack full of old gbas nintendo ds and every game from gen 1-4
That's such a nice story. I'm happy he told you and happy it was destiny that you had found one✨️🐉✨️
The two shinies at once issue can also happen in generation 4! In Eterna forest you can get double battle wild encounters, both of which can be shiny. if that wasn’t bad enough, often times the two shiny animations playing at once would cause the game to crash, losing both shinies.
9:45 "You lost the concentration click the wrong button"
I mean you soft reset it for 2413 times, your body would definitely remember to soft reset it the next one. its all muscle memory
How I lost i shiny azelf in omega ruby. Reclaimed later though
To quote TvTropes, Damn you Muscle Memory!
@@ootfan7882 you can include looking at it before resetting part of that muscle memory by waiting an extra second. I have encountered a lot of shinies through soft resetting and I will NEVER skip one.
To be honest, this really seems like the most likely way to lose a shiny. I'm not a shiny hunter but I have done similar things in games with rng where you just soft reset until you get the numbers you want
@@patrickwilliams7496 Sure buddy, you're the only human without muscle memory that never makes mistakes. Grow up😂
As a kid I came across a Shiny Ghastly in Pokemon HG in the bellsprout tower.. at that point you dont have pokeballs yet..
So I went to a pokemart and bought pokeballs and kept running in the same spot believing it'd show up again..
You should have had Pokeballs at that point
U should have pokeballs
You should have pokeballs, you just ran out lol
That’s really cute but sadly it dose it work that way
Same but i came across a shiny pidgey
4:09
Easter egg: mewtwo turned into regular color
my first and worst shiny fail was a full odds random dugtrio that I had encountered in a new save. It had swept my entire underleveled team and broke out of every ball i threw😔the worst part was the feeling of being at my last two pokemon and just knowing that i couldn't catch it, but not wanting to admit it💀💀
UNCATCHABLE SHINIES PART 3:
Helping Wally catch a Shiny Ralts. Then having to go through the whole game with him waving it in your face every time you battle each other.
Will mckean his ralts doesn’t stay shiny though. It’s only shiny when he catches it. The rest of the time it’s normal.
Tyler Davis That makes it worse, cause it means the jerk gave it away , PC’d or released the shiny then caught a new Raltz. Wally you dingus!
It’s not possible because his Ralts will only stay shiny if he catches it. During the battle before the Elite Four and the battle before you challenge Wattson in the Mauville City, his Kirlia/Gardevoir is not shiny anymorr.
I think you’re a bit misinformed lmao. Ralts won’t be shiny when you face him again.
Can you sub to me pls
me:
> Finds random shiny Abra
> Uses Master Ball
fair enough
I used a quick ball. Its chance to catch in that scenario is sky high. Save the master ball for a shiny that's really tough and unpredictable.
Strionic like Magikarp and Bidoof?
Abra, Magikarp, and Bidoof all have a base Catch Rate Multiplier _(ranges from 3 to 255)_ so high that a turn one Quick Ball might as well be a Master Ball.
Catching a shiny beldum is a living nightmare
when I was little I used my master ball on a bouffallant because I didn't have any poke balls and wanted it really badly
In Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald there is something known as Battery Glitch where when the battery on the cartridge runs out (Emerald is active by default because of a programmer error) the RNG gets fixed. This removes most of the random chance from finding a shiny. When a new game starts or the battery runs dry the shiny encounter is set to a specific frame (for this example we will say frame #10 out of 8042) that when you encounter a Pokémon on that frame the Pokémon has a 1/7 chance of being shiny. This means that, assuming 60 FPS, if you start the encounter at exactly 1/6th of a second after starting the game there is a high chance for a shiny. If you’re playing on Emerald or your cartridge says the battery is empty then finding the Poochyena means that there’s a high chance of finding a shiny if you keep resetting the exact same way. This also means that if the shiny frame is frame #540 then you have to wait 9 seconds to start the encounter or else there’s no chance of the Pokémon being shiny.
I felt that last one. I never have played a game that has shinys in it yet. But the amount of times I’ve been mindlessly clicking or doing something in a game and screwed up something I didn’t want to is insane
What about forgetting to save after catching a shiny!!
Yeah
It's possible to do that but almost impossible. You really have to not pay attention and honestly be kinda stupid to do that. With that being said I've done it a couple times albeit mainly with wormhole stuff
@@pigyguy I've seen someone do it in a fail! I don't know who he was but it's on RUclips somewhere!
@@eskimojoe365 like i said it's not impossible to do just challenging
True true, but what about mistaken shinies even though that’s not failing one or higher level Pokémon with moves that could one shot it
Find a shiny, but the coloration change is so minimal you can't tell it's shiny and you were listening to a podcast or something so you couldn't hear the sparkle.
What about seeing the sparkle?
>/\
They said while listening to a podcast or something so you’re not even looking at the screen
Reminds me of you know...
*P E R S I A N*
eh most of those pokemon are actually good so i end up catching everyone i come across for good natures like gible or gastly
Coming in really late but agreeeeed on number 1. I lost a Pichu when I was trying to get a shiny Alolan Raichu due to being distracted and killing it by mistake. I looked over right as it was in it's death animation and that killed me hunting for shinies for a long time after that.
I accidentally ran away from a shiny Scraggy in Pokémon black, because I didn’t see the sparkles… it is my one and only shiny failure to this day, and I still feel salty about it now… 😢
Also, I love your vids CanyEvie! Great job on this one as always! 😊
Here's one I'm sure some people have done, even if they don't know it: not realizing a pokemon is shiny in the first place. This can happen one of two ways:
1) a new player who doesn't know about shinies at all sees one, thinks, "oh, that's odd," and kills it/runs away.
2) you glance away long enough to miss the sparkles from a shiny that looks almost identical to its base appearance. Things like Seel, Elekid, or the Regice I'm currently staring at wondering if I should go through the trouble of catching it or just try again and hope I'm not making a mistake.
K E C L E O N
My friend found a shiny Grubbin in Pokemon Sun but it being her first Pokemon game, she didn't know it meant anything so she killed it
My dad caught a shiny pikachu not knowing what the sparkle meant. He considered not catching it because he already had a higher level one.
Later that day I saw it and starting freaking out.
3) a new player finds a shiny but thinks it's just a glitch in the game and resets
You forgot one. In gen 2, when your box is full once you finally found the shiny you're looking for.
And I know. Shiny Lugia... :'-(
That sucks...
@Dion Van Rijswijk it did, it hurt.
I had a shiny HO-OH
Shiny fail 11:
Catching a shiny Pokémon on a busted cartridge that won't hold save files anymore. I have dealt with bad cartridges, but luckily never lost a shiny to one.
The most depressing shiny Pokémon I have ever failed is when I ran into a random shiny scyther, and managed to catch it in a quick ball, but then I closed my game and forgot to save.
The green Mewtwo struggled. It struggled so hard, it became a regular Mewtwo for a few seconds.
You forgot being so young you don’t know what a shiny is, that happened to me I thought it was a glitch with the game and killed it for xp 😭
same with me
and even worse it was a shiny boldore which is one of the best shinies by looks
and why I did it I thought that team plasma is inserting daimonds in boldore
Similar thing happened to me, I didn't know what a shiny was, I caught it because I didn't have that particular Pokemon, but because I didn't know it's value at the time I reset the game....good thing I'm not a shiny hunter or don't really care too much about it lol*internally cries*
Why would anyone do that???? I would have felt blessed and captured it XDDD like, I NEVER think about glitches or things like that, and it's just a pokémon with another color, it's not a deformed pokémon or something 👍🤣🤣🤣👍
@@Celestial-uq4ru i know that, but I still cannot conceive how would anyone think the game is broken for something that could be just a different skin ya know?
Bruh i saw a shiny zoobat and run because i dont know why its in a different color its my first time knowing pokemon lol
#1 happened to me - I wasn't listening to audio OR shiny hunting, so I didn't notice the shiny Wooper. So I did a gen 8 Masuda/Charm combo to replace what I ran from.
The first shiny I ever found was a ghastly in the haunted mansion thing in Pearl. I didn’t have enough balls to catch him, went and bought more, came back and he showed up again
Again?? No wayy
*A wild wurmple appeared!
*Me: Not again...

*Run
*Me: wait...WAIT NOOOO, THAT WAS PURPLE, MY RED SANDSLASH WOULD FINALLY HAVE A FRIEND, NOOO!

which gender
Lucariokid same happened to me with a barboach
Lucariokid i know your problem i killed a shiny uxie cause it had no moves left
Lucariokid i ran from a shiny joltic when i was 9 or so because i was in a cave and didn't know what repels were so when i got an encounter i just kept tapping "run" :'(
i may have had 1 in gen 1/2, but since it wasnt much to see, i didnt care
all you saw in the old games was some flashing, no colors changed
One time I encountered a shiny wild abra. At first I was just amazed, but that amazement soon turned to a sheer, unrivaled magnitude of suspense when I realized it would only know teleport. I only had one move to catch a shiny, or I'd likely never see it again..
This sort of feeling is both terrifying and thrilling: the feeling you get when you have a once-in-a-lifetime chance, and your success can only be acted upon by the improbable whims of the universe.
(I caught the abra, though.)
Lucky Bro i have 1 shiny and failed 6 and 1 was an abra in moon at the start of the game
Encountering a wild abra before getting quick balls can truly be a traumatic and depressing experience.
when i shiny hunt, i always bring a jigglypuff or any other pokemon with a sleep with no damage move
Funny story on running away from a shiny, back in X and Y I was looking for the low encounter rate hydraigon by Victory road. I was doing it for a good few hours and at one point I ran into a shiny fearow however by then I was not even paying attention that I hit run but just as I did I looked back at the game and saw that it was a shiny Fearow. Needless to say after that I stopped looking for the low encounter rate Hydraigon and definitely my biggest shiny loss I ever had.
The other day, I encountered a Shiny Poochyena. I called a friend so he can watch me catch it, but he instead witnessed me failing it when after I switched to Manectric to paralyze it, it Roared. But that is not the worst Shiny fail I had. A year ago, I luckily found a Calm Shiny Feebas, meaning I can evolve it into a Milotic. And then a few days after trading, my save file got corrupted. But atleast I managed to get a video of the latter.

Oshawott TV true
Kenneth Flores this thankfully hasn't happened to me... yet
tthhattt stinnksss
9:03 remember kids, wait a few seconds before soft resetting
I’m honestly amazed by the sheer amount of effort people put into finding a different color variant pokemon
Having to actually encounter it yourself feels like a drug, the excitement and everything after hundreds if not thousands of resets is unmatchable. I become extremely focused when I encounter a shiny and always come prepared so I dont worry about fucking up(I did fuck up trying to hunt shiny rayquaza cause he ran out of moves so I booted off my masterball to him). I got my shiny Kyurem on UM couple days ago and now trying to shiny hunt starter treecko in OR/AS
it really is just like gambling, but rather than wasting money you waste time. hundreds of hours put into looking for it, but once you find it, the thrill of “winning” psyches you up.

A story I’ll always remember, when I was younger I thought the game lagged or was bad because I didn’t know what saving did, I was playing through my backtracking strange game and found a shiny dodou. Unlike most stories I thought it was a weird cute green glitched version and caught it. I didn’t save my game and lost my weird bird.
A few years later I used to play Pokémon at the lunch table at school and encountered a shiny golbat it always makes me smile thinking about me and all my friends around the table freaking out about my shiny golbat. I was a good 2 seconds from running away because it was too loud to hear the noise and I wasn’t paying attention till someone screamed at me that it was a shiny. it became one of my favorites and for some reason took me forever to evolve. I encountered another at that same lunch table the same year I just forgot what it was called.

Adding to this, there's a new way to fail a shiny in Sword and Shield: accidentally running to a "very strong looking" Pokemon in the Wild Area.
I failed a shiny Whismur while training in victory road in Emerald. The thing is almost every pokemon you find there knows a move that ends the battle. The Whismur used roar and that was it.
I found a Shiny in a hoard and right before I even did my first move...

What’s interesting for me is when I encountered my first shiny Pokémon.( It was a shiny makuhita in the caves of dearies island in Pokémon emerald.) I of course had no idea what it was. I thought to myself “did the game glitch or something?” But i actually caught it to show my friends who introduced me to Pokémon who told me it was a shiny. So I guess I have bragging rights because I didn’t mistake it for a glitch and showed it my friends. I’m Not belittling anyone of course because I totally understand the mistake.
Well I only Encountered 1 shiny pokemon in my entire life

I keep coming back to this video because I love the presentation and also because of the sympathy factor from watching the clips (I've personally never lost a Shiny, but I feel for others who have).
I do have one story which, thankfully, has a happy ending, and it involves happening upon a Shiny Weezing in the Johto Safari Zone in Pokémon SoulSilver. I was playing the game on a bus, so I had to contain my excitement somewhat so I wouldn't embarrass myself in front of the other passengers, but I still gasped and my eyes widened the moment I saw the Shiny and my breathing got a little bit faster. I could feel my chest, shoulders and wrists quiver because this was the closest I had ever got to potentially losing a Shiny and I knew that there was every chance that this Safari Zone Shiny could escape at any turn.
I can't remember what I did to ensure that the Shiny Weezing would be caught (I might have fed it once or twice), but what I do remember is catching it on either the first or second ball. I couldn't believe it! I thought I had to go through a few balls before one of two things would happen. I whispered a little "Yes!" under my breath and the Shiny Weezing is still sitting in my SoulSilver PC to this day.

Thankfully i decided to catch it but man i could imagine if someone decided to do that during stream because they didn't see the sparkle at the intro.
Isn't shiny chansey yellow/green? Idk I thought it was a more noticeable one
what IS that sound you're making at 5:17? it killed me...🤣
0: Seeing a trainer (like Wally) catching a shiny.
Yeah, I count that under uncatchables part 1. Still sucks though D:
CandyEvie it sucks worse because it's like...being taunted the rest of the game every time you run into him again
Bismuth the Anarchist Even worse. It isnt shiny later on.
I'd probably soft reset the game out of spite.
That would suck i guess im just lucky
"My game just froze"
Me: That's what you get for saying Jeeratina
Lol
@Tatarawr and some people call ho oh ho ho
@@carsonyeohkaisheng7542 my boyfriend calls it hoho. ....I'm mad at him for that.
Yeah
@Tatarawr that one isnt as bad as the ho-oh one since its a little confusing
I don't think I've ever failed a shiny. Although, most of my shinys were action replay produced. It took me forever to realize I don't have to weaken the legendary before using the masterball.
> ball literally says "without fail"
My worst shiny fail in any game was when I first started playing pokemon games. I was in pokemon silver, and levelling up pokemon before Chuck, so i was breaking rocks and surfing. A shiny shuckle appeared, and I wasn’t aware of what shinies were... I thought it was a bug and reset the game completely. To this day, as a newish shiny hunter, that shuckle still haunts me... I should try full odds shiny hunting in Silver for it again so I can redeem myself.
I hope you reclaim it quickly if you do hunt it! 💫 I can relate, I accidentally ran from a shiny Girafarig in Emerald around 2006 (had the sound off and was in the car). I plan to reclaim it for sure
