A fun fact about synchro herding: wild species all seem to have a fear value, and each species that you use have a different intimidation value. If the species' intimidation value is higher than the fear value, they'll run away in the opposite direction on sight. If you don't, they'll move randomly. The intimidation value doesn't seem to be linked to anything in particular, but the intimidation and fear values are different, since Pokemon that aren't scared too easily, like Scyther, don't necessarily scare away Pokemon that are easier to scare. I won't pretend I researched it very extensively, but that's what a few hours of research gave me as a conclusion.
Someone should figure it out and make a chart of it or something, like just to find out what the best PKMN is for herding in terms of Intimidation. Maybe one could pick the fastest out of the more intimidating ones?
@@JerBearLF I tried researching if abilities made a difference, it looks like they don't. 0 correlation between being able to scare Pokemon and: -Level -Height -Weight -Type advantage -Base Stats -Movement Speed -Ability -Moves It seems strictly based on species.
I mean, I see no difference. A sheep dog might be a little fluffier, but I don't see why a short hair herding dog wouldn't exist. That right there is just a really fast herding dog, if I've ever seen one
for the second elekid it was at its roaming radius, that's why it didn't go closer to you. essentially, pokemon can only go a certain distance from the point they spawned from and when they walk its usually a set distance and the end point can only exist within the roaming radius. that's why the elekid kept walking back and forth. the roaming radius is bigger than the spawn radius. some pokemon are an exception usually ones that are on a set path like certain carkoal and rolycoly in the area of the orthworm titan or the rolling donphan near the top of the mountain next to alfornata.
Gen 10 pokemon professor is here!! Hello i am Catherine and I study on pokemons movement.If you complete the pokedex i will give you a shiny charm with boosted luck.
11:40 And this is why I fell in love with this pokemon during gen 7. I didn't care about it before but meeting one during a very low point in my life cheered me up. I love his laid back and yet goofy attitude.
Neither of the tyrouges there are shiny the one thats further back looks like you could mistake it for a shiny but when it moves you can see the brown on its legs
The position of the player character during synchro mode gives me anxiety. I always feel like he's gonna blow up a vein in his head by concentrating too much. Also, I vote to name this Latias Synchro. 20:51 Great, now I have something else to be anxious about while in synchro mode. Thanks Catherine ^^
Gen 10 new professor :- Hello my name is Catherine and I study on pokemons movement! If you complete the regional dex i will give you a shiny charm with boosted chances.
Giratina: *"I am darkness, god of the underworld, the Pokemon of the Shadows. All who behold me fear my near limitless power."* Farigiraf: "Bet, my name's Jeff."
Ohh the heartbreak on that Farigiraf..... Good on you for taking a bit of a break after that one haha, hope you got the jumbo one pretty quick! I'm so glad you got the Trapinch atleast!! I failed one recently, still working on a reclaim
I love this video, edited just enough and in just the right way, good pacing, unique topic, the right amount of emotion for a fitting situation It just beings back memories of nostalgia RUclips and I hope I see more content like yours soon
Watched this video as I played a story playthrough of Legends Arceus. God, my nerves were going straight through the roof trying to simultaneously try to catch an alpha Torterra while you were dealing with that Farigiraf.
thanks to you i learned to love this franchise even more, despite the low performance in the latest games, so thank you for keeping me from drifting away from my childhood
Learning all of these things and just from watching the pokemon, their behavior and reactions to other pokemon... you're on the way to being an actual Pokemon Professor.
This seems like a great idea for a group challenge where they have to only catch shiny pokemon with this method (i would suck at this 😅) also congrats on no more scruff tech 🎉
I have caught so many shinies watching your videos, thanks for being such an amazing influence and inspiration! I also would have no idea how to shiny hunt without your channel.
Pretty sure Pokémon have a “spawn radius”, where they’ll path back to where they spawned if they exited it, so I recommend keeping your character close by! Hope this helps!
That Elekid was even annoying me xD, but congrats on your new shinies!! Here’s some names I thought of: Tyrogue: Armista Elekid: Pacer Scraggy: Rox Krokorok: Bumble Trapinch: SeaBreeze
I wish there was a Pokémon game that was a different genre because you got to play from the perspective of the Pokémon, like a platformer where each Pokémon has pros and cons in how they allow you to beat a stage
it's funny to see you hunting a shiny Tyrogue near those three puddles, because i was actually just the other week hunting an oubtreak shiny squirtle (and yes, they only spawned in the puddles, i wanted to kms) and ended up getting a shiny tyrogue along the way the odds are slim, but not none, that we both found a tyrogue at the same time
You get a subscribe for helping me get in the mood for shiny hunting again. My best record is almost 20 different shinies in 24 hours with no sandwiches. Luckiest I've ever been in any pokemon game
Good luck in your research! From watching, it seems like there is some type of boundary pokemon cannot cross, possibly to keep them from straying too far from their spawn location.
From experience and how to always successfully save the shiny,one simple thing. Don't ever stick so close to it,no matter what. You have to be near it,yes. But being so close to a shiny that's scared of your Pokémon will make it not stop going back and forth,and for Pokémon such as Farigiraf,you just have to be patient with them. Stay close but not too close to them and let them just walk towards your character. It will take a long time,but as someone once said,patience is a virtue. I hope this helps for everyone
Im here because i watched the collab with royal pear and you just earned a subscriber HOW DIDN'T I KNOW YOU YOURE CONTENT IS THE BEST (Edit: i almost forgot to subscribe thanks for making me remember)
"Good lord, this thing is evil." Accurate statement, given that my first ever failed shiny was an Elekid in White 2 that broke out of all of my Pokeballs.
I recently stumbled on your channel, i have binged an entirely unreasonable amount of your content, i absolutely adore you & your content, that right there is clearly Synchro, the Latias. Liked and subscribed and all that Jazz #WooperTrooper
The difficulty of herding is why I went months without touching Synchro. But the hide and seek videos make it look so fun, so I tried it out again... and actually did find a Shiny. Right next to my trainer, luckily.
I would have loved to do this to that one shiny fletchinder I accidentally killed in synchro mode. I didn’t even have time to process it but I definitely remember it being shiny for those few seconds I saw it. Doesn’t help that fletchinder are the type of Pokémon that go after you rather than running away or just chilling.
Shiny Tyrogue: Blues Lee (Or Chartreuse Lee/Grassy Chan/Speen if you want to evolve it) Shiny Scraggy: Pants Shiny Elekid: Leftanrite Shiny Krokorok: Bruno Shiny Trapinch: Minto Bean
2 videos in a row of getting trolled by Shiny Elekid - I am SO sorry LOLLLL

Interesting! Itd be nice to do some more research about this
Would be nice if it explicitly says polemon with intimidate scare them away
Maybe the ability rivalry could actually prove useful for something?

2) You have basically become a Pokémon Professor
Was looking for a similar comment to this,
I second this
Tha and synchro sounds like a cute name
The Scraggy literary is an reference to my fail. I had latias but failed an scraggy :(
we need a Professor Catherine plushy

This Latias is a very powerful sheepdog

Dang Catherine is accidentally turning into a shiny professor

Absolutely name the Latias synchro
ye i like that name
DO IT 🍗
Yess
Good name.
(I prefer Lemon Drop :)
Shut up and take my Like
11:40 And this is why I fell in love with this pokemon during gen 7. I didn't care about it before but meeting one during a very low point in my life cheered me up. I love his laid back and yet goofy attitude.
Shiny Catherine failing shinies?
This isn’t a shiny Catherine video, it’s a Purplecliff video!
so true🤣
Lol shots fired -
No,pokeballs fired
thank you for teaching us the most effective way to suffer shiny fail depression
great to see latias is getting more friends by herding them like sheep
1:04 SHINY TYROUGE IN THE BACKGROUND YOOOOOOO
Lol
I'm shocked more people aren't noticing in the comments
Maybe that's one that she caught? Probably not though but let's hope so
I'm waiting for her to say something. Her silence either means she saw this and didn't want to comment on it or, she hasn't seen this one yet
Neither of the tyrouges there are shiny
the one thats further back looks like you could mistake it for a shiny but when it moves you can see the brown on its legs
15:40 that breviary and farigaraf really said “ you shall not pass !”
The position of the player character during synchro mode gives me anxiety. I always feel like he's gonna blow up a vein in his head by concentrating too much. Also, I vote to name this Latias Synchro.

2:32 mettaton cooking music suits chef katheryne so much, i always wanted to say this
This video just made me even more terrified of using synchro mode
I still haven't even used Syncho Mode yet due to paranoia...
I only use it when I'm doing an outbreak and I have my pokemon very close by
Why does Latias having hands look kinda natural
The artist was right.
The lesson we learned: Be like Farigiraf, conquer your fears.
Since it gave you so much grief, I recommend naming the Elekid “Pain”
The human hand Latias. Not as bad as I expected.
Ohh the heartbreak on that Farigiraf..... Good on you for taking a bit of a break after that one haha, hope you got the jumbo one pretty quick!
I'm so glad you got the Trapinch atleast!! I failed one recently, still working on a reclaim
7:24 “ it looks like a shiny, kind of”
This reminded me that I failed a shiny Tyrogue during the Synchro Machine tutorial, I was so sad
Audience: How many shinies do you need to fail in this video?
Catherine: Yes.
At this point, Shiny is becoming a pokemon professor studying the effects of the syncro machine in relation to wild pokemon. I'm all here for it!!
You mean Catherine, right? With all due respect, calling her by the name 'Shiny' doesn't feel right.
Who else would I be referring to?
I love this video, edited just enough and in just the right way, good pacing, unique topic, the right amount of emotion for a fitting situation
It just beings back memories of nostalgia RUclips and I hope I see more content like yours soon
The shiny Krokorok should be named Kronk lol
Did on the road to viridian city summon the giraffe???? I’d like to think so. Banger video concept the thought of the time spent scares me
Watched this video as I played a story playthrough of Legends Arceus. God, my nerves were going straight through the roof trying to simultaneously try to catch an alpha Torterra while you were dealing with that Farigiraf.
20:08 well that's another reason why farigiraf is one of my new favs, it fears nothing.
Catherine just torturing herself to figure out the real Pokémon science lol ❤️
Still angry that bidoof isn't in scarlet and violet.
I really wanted onix
I miss the elemental monkeys. Come on it would have been perfect for them
@@Sailor-Khionethey would be in z-a i think
Perfect timing! I'd just decided I hadn't had enough anxiety today, so this video was just what I needed.

TOO EARLY CREW! Where you at? 😂
Here
Right here
Hello
Yup
Heyyyy
I've liked using the Synchro Machine with my shiny Iron Thorns nicknamed Kiryu
The shiny Latias in thumbnail is basically saying* "GET OVER HERE!"
i love the clarifications mid video 😂
“Synchro/Eagle” the Latias and “Do A Flip!” the Latios WILL be best friends
Yes! that thumbnail was so worth the wait lmao. props to the artist
Cheese. Name the pokemon cheese.
which one?
@@Chesse291 Latias
What I learned from this is Farigiraf doesn't like soccer
This seems like a great idea for a group challenge where they have to only catch shiny pokemon with this method (i would suck at this 😅) also congrats on no more scruff tech 🎉
Human, I remember you’re Pokémon catching shinies
Honestly might try this out myself sometime, keep up the good vids 👌🏻
Thank you so much!!
syncro mode scares me lol

You became a whole scientist doing tests on when they run and when they don’t 😂

Here’s some names I thought of:
Tyrogue: Armista
Elekid: Pacer
Scraggy: Rox
Krokorok: Bumble

16:30 not humming road to veridian city then getting the Gremlin pokemon lol
Synchro sounds better ngl
Can we all just appreciate that beautiful thumbnail
I once was able to use a Vilavolt to scare a shiny Hisuian Quilfish towards my character
The artist did indeed cook!
Shiny Sckragy is just like shiny Bidoof!😮😂❤🎉
"its like having a roomba" sent me lmaooo
Shepherd could be a good name for your latias
