I know you mentioned this, but I want to just emphasize the importance of being prepared in shiny hunts. That's how I failed my shiny kyurem! Always try and carry a masterball if it's a legendary, and always have a strong team. No one wants to reclaim a shiny and definitely if it was a tedious hunt to begin with!
i tried shiny hunting when i was a kid and did NOT have the patience for :( today as an adult i tried to repurchase a DS and some games! (diamond, b2, and ss!) --- i still hadnt found a shiny yet, but knowing that people still upload shinyh hunting stuff this time is so fun!! i cant wait to find my first hunted shiny
Good luck, I hope you find it soon! My mom has been a pokemon fan since Gen 2 came out and she only found her first shiny when I lent her my 3ds some years ago, she was so excited to finally find one
the reason I watched this video is because I want to soft reset for a whimpod but I am traumatized from the 24000 soft reset treecko I didn't get, this time I have the charm though
The hardest part of the video was limiting myself to how many people I can shoutout. There are so many pivotal creators to the community. Obviously, huge inspirations of mine as I wish I can make as much of an impact as they do.
As a hunter, I can definitively say you should try to immunise your team when it comes to hunting particularly strong Pokémon, like Legendaries. Shedinja is often a good option for this, as it also has False Swipe, but simply walling their offence can work too. I had a low level Sableye when I was going for Arceus, simply because it has the potential to easily take out your actual hunting team, and Sableye happens to be completely immune to Future Sight and Hyper Beam. If you expect a catch to take a while, it might be a good idea to try and minimise the risk. Currently, I have a Shedinja while I go for Dialga in Platinum, though that’s on break. With that Arceus hunt, I actually panicked when I eventually found it, and it ended up reaching a point where it was about to struggle to death (already using the move, from full health because Recover). Luckily a Timer Ball worked right towards the end, otherwise I would probably have given up. (400 hours on Arceus alone). Do try to have the Master Ball as backup, I didn’t because I was fully unprepared, no thanks to a certain random Shiny Weezing, and I wasn’t willing to fail it. Lastly, try a few test catches and use Catch Rate Calculators. This can do wonders when it comes to figuring out how you’re going to go about catching the Shiny when you DO find it.
Yes, great suggestion. Shedinja is a great Pokémon to bring for shinies that cannot hit it. Also, test runs are always recommended! I do that with every one of my hunts!
@@Anthmags72so I wanted to give a quick update on my Dialga hunt: I found it. Full Odds in Platinum. It wasn’t too far into when I started for the day either, and I am super happy about it. Not only that, but I also found Giratina in BDSP (super quickly in comparison to my Arceus, thankfully), and am currently on Palkia in USUM. I WOULD have shifted to Palkia regardless if I didn’t catch it that day, but I guess I get to have the Spooky Shiny for Halloween.
I think it's funny that I'm watching this video and I have been shiny hunting for probably around a decade at this point lol. This is a really good video And frankly not what I expected it to be. I appreciate that you actually talked about the mindset and things to do, rather than just telling people the basics and what shinies are and how to hunt them. Also I very much agree with your statement at the beginning of the video, it is a very weird feeling seeing shiny hunting go from this hypernice community and hobby. To essentially one of the cornerstones of pokémon in general, it's weird. Like I'm happy that more people can enjoy this thing that I love so much, and the more attention that it gets the more the actual pokémon company cares about shiny pokémon which is great cuz I've been obsessed with them since I was like 10. But also it's bittersweet, it doesn't feel like my special little hobby anymore. It's not this niche little RUclips community where people are pointing webcams at their DS as much anymore. There are so many shiny hunting RUclipsrs with hundreds of thousands of subscribers, there's millions of posts online, there's constant discussion and even stuff like RNG manipulation is becoming more mainstream. It feels like when a band you love finally gets popular, you're so happy that this thing you really care about is finally getting recognition and being seen as something to genuinely appreciate. But it feels like you're almost losing a part of yourself, giving up a part of your identity that was More unique and almost yours, and letting it expand to something much bigger than you. I don't know if this is too deep for talking about shiny pokémon. But it's just a weird feeling
the rubber band trick was not known to me, i just started full odds hunting with your last video, when i was a kid when HG/SS just came out my brother and i had several shinies in those games, my first was a slowbro in the safari zone, then in 2012-2013ish i learned about shiny hunting and wanted to go for chikorita, and got tododile in under a couple hours, and then never played HGSS after completing that game file. a few days after the kyurem video dropped, probably 10 years or more since i played HGSS i spent almost 200 CAD on a soul silver copy, after 500ish resets i had a shiny chikorita, i did 4 hours the first night, then TEN MINUTES the next morning. i was ecstatic. a week later i got heartgold because i found it such a fun experience and in FOUR resets (1 minute 34 seconds) i had ANOTHER shiny chikorita (then after being sad the hunt didnt go on longer did random encounters the first route for hoothoot and got one after 134 encounters/47 minutes) i just bought a SECOND heart gold copy yesterday and an extra dsi so i can double hunt and for 2 hours i was swapping each in my hands to do the resets the rubber bands are gonna make this so much more effective, i just hopefully wont get a third chikorita LOL (though i wont complain if/when i do)
I was watching this video to try and keep motivation to shiny hunt Rayquaza on BDSP, and not even halfway through, just before 7:36 was when I got it. That was also my first ever authentic shiny legendary by soft resetting. I know you didn't really help that Ray show up, but I'd still like to thank you
@@indy5280My Hunt is definitely going good! I haven't had a counter, because ive never had an overodds hunt lol, but I may start one now. And for the time of day, I usually hunt on the weekend, but now that bank is being threatened of a shutdown in the next 2 years, I have a timer. It's not ideal but it's definitely pushing me to hunt! Good luck on your hunts!
For anyone checking out his channel these are great tips. I would also suggest that if you want to hunt in Gens 3-7 you might wanna jump on that soon. The bridge between gens is on borrowed time. If you have the Poke Bank or have a friend with Poke bank its supposed to continue working after april of 2024 for now but its borrowed time. They could shut down bank and break the only bridge to move mons to the newest gens.
Thank you for the tips! I watched your other video about hunting a shiny Kyurem and now I'm invested in the wonders of shiny hunting, lol. I'm also thinking of trying to catch a shiny Kyurem (in BW), but since I restarted my save I'm currently nowhere near the postgame. I think I'll try my hand at catching a shiny Yamask or Cofagrigus instead!
literally the whole reason I bought bdsp was to shiny hunt some of the legendry's, and thats just what I did, the moment I got access to palkia, I started shiny hunting. 6 months later the pink striped water dragon appeared after 2176 resets, and it felt amazing, so I decided I wanted to do another hunt like that, so I decided on giratina. just 4 days later at 726 resets the blue spiked eel appeared, and yet again I wanted to do another hunt, but for rayquaza this time, so I did hours of preparing to be able to shiny hunt it, spending hours getting mysterious shard, and catching the necessary legendry's to unlock rayquaza, and 2 days later at a jaw dropping 250 resets, the black tapeworm appeared, and again I got cocky, so I got some more mysterious shards, and started my hunt for mewtwo. my mewtwo hunt is ongoing as of writing this comment, and im at 641 resets going strong! :D
Man, I had tried a Kyurem hunt back in 2021 but gave up. After seeing your video on it a few days ago (late, I know.) It inspired me to pick up the hunt again. Currently 829 resets and counting whenever I can find the time. Gotta thank you for the tips that will definitely help me not go insane!
Tip for anyone hunting in an area in gen 2 with fleeing Pokemon in GSC: Do some catch calc with a level Ball! I found that by having a Pokemon that's at least level 10, a level Ball will garunteed the catch of a Teddiursa that's level 4 in Dark Cave. Highly recommend it
Hey I got the mention. I've actually been at this game for 2 decades now. I helped start a group on GameFAQs in Gen 3 literally called "The Shinies" that was focused around them at first and just kind of became a social hangout. Currently working on a shiny Landorus in Black and White that I'd ideally like to take to Sacramento Regionals this weekend, but if I don't find it, no biggie.
I really love this video a lot; as someone who watches content creators a lot to fuel my own drive to continue my own hunts, I really appreciate the growing shiny hunting community. Just a few days ago I actually finished my Shiny Giratina hunt in Pokemon Platinum that I had been working on for over half a year and it just feels so gratifying to finally have my first full-odds shiny hunt completed. I know I'll be doing many more in the future! c:
I’m very glad you enjoyed the video. I do the same. Sometimes I get so discouraged by a hunt that I begin questioning whether the shiny's even real or not so I need to look up a video of someone getting it to regain my belief of actually finding it. You also beat me on Giratina too as that is an active(ish) hunt I’m currently doing! This semester's been a lot though so I had to push it aside. Have a nice night!
New Anthmags video! Thanks for putting so much effort in to these videos, it’s really inspiring! I’m still getting into shinies and competitive, so this really helps.
I saw your Kyurem video a while back and kind of forgot about it, but the Kartana video brought me right back! Once I get past rewatching various videos by Absolblogspokemon (also pretty cool to see them mentioned in the video) I'll be sure to rewatch the Kartana and Nihilego videos while I hunt for Pheromosa! (Currently 12 hours in i'm at 2038 resets, I'll probably update you guys on it every 1000) oh, and thanks for the guide I guess
I haven't updated you guys in a month lmao SO BASICALLY: I've been kinda on and off hutning it, so I haven't been doing much, I'm almost 33 hours deep, and I'm over odds at 5621 encounters! Once I reached odds, I kinda stopped hunting a bit, might get back on it soon
Hey, man! Once again, watching this video got me some great shiny luck as I was shiny hunting for Poipole on USUM! I got it in about 722 soft resets and found it around the 15:49 timestamp! Again, I know you had no influence over the odds, but I'd like to say thank you again lol
im currently doing a shiny hunt for honedge in y rn, i'll definitely try to remember these tricks for the next hunt i do! i've already tried to shiny hunt a few times, with varying success, so these will probably be very helpful for me :D
Hey, I just want you to know that I’ve watched this video about six times when I have lost motivation at the ending of watching this video I realised I finished all of those hunts and this one won’t be an exception. Thanks for making this great video on shiny hunting and good luck on your next hunt
Just came back to say that I finally got my shiny ho oh. I took about 1700 srs. I got it while watching maximum overdrive. But your tip with the tape made it much more bearable, thank you.
Another tip:Please,if there's any way to increase your odds,just do it.If you hear that your fav poketuber only hunts at full odds(SupremeRK9s),please,don't pick up the same habbit.Always hunting at full odds is draining and try your best to avoid it and only do it when you don't have any other choice(Shaymin in BDSP for example)
That’s good and all, but some people like their shinies being found at their full odds level, no boost. Feels more rewarding for me at least. Got my spirtitomb after 8815 encounters and took months but I was so happy
@@sourlemon1002all shiny no matter if they are boosted or full odds have the same value. They are always shiny no matter what and I don't understand why ppl hating on a boosted shiny. If you like to waste your life by sitting in a room to reset for more than 10k times then good it's your choice because I've been in that situation before already. I have an experience of hunting 1/8192 shiny from gen 2 to gen 5 and those might be fun when you finally got it but the process is like a waste of time and way too long. So when they make the odds 1/4096 starting 3ds era, I've decided shiny hunting in these games and it didn't disappoint me as it became more comfortable and manageable.
@@Scuba4Steveexactly, it's always the same and my reaction is always the same even at 1/8192 or 1/4096 hunt there's no really changes at all lmao. Idk why these ppl are going so hard with it, gamefreak literally made shiny hunting more fun and they did it intentionally just for these ppl to hate it lmao 😂. Ppl can be weird sometimes ngl.
I want to clarify something on the rubber bands: No, it won't harm your system, but if you leave it on without taking it off, it can mess with your LR buttons to where they won't register when they're pressed, so you'll have to open your system to fix it. If you take a break, take it off, if you're done for the day, take it off. I've experienced this issue firsthand with a couple of systems.
I was trying to get a female grookey for competitive Pokémon and accidentally hatched a shiny grookey after 4 eggs any advice on a fun hunt to do I haven’t gotten any shiny Pokémon in bw and bw2 or oras/xy
I love shiny hunting but i only have gen 8 and 9 and i was thinking about buying a ds lite with pokemon emerald or black 2 (if i find any that wotn cost me my liver) so that is a very helpful video thx man
These are some good tips, I’d definitely agree with doing something else while hunting. I rarely hunt without doing that. But another tip I figure I should add. Don’t feel like your cheating for using methods like charm, chain fishing, or sandwiches. Your value of your shiny comes from you alone. So if you haven’t got much time, no need to full odds it for it to ‘count’ do whatever works for you. Watching things whilst hunting also given me good name ideas or just memories. Like, I remember Welcome to Eden pretty much purely because I found shiny Celebi in what I’m pretty sure was the final episode. Or watching through Inscryption while hunting (Garbodor or Kyurem, not entirely sure which as they were my first hunts).
Yes that is a very great piece of advice. Often while surfing the internet, one can feel like their shinies aren't as cool as the other people's hunts and that simply ain't true.
Excellent video! Always enjoyable. Currently I'm soft resetting for a shiny snivy and yeah, after nearly 2 months plus a break over lent, I'm sure hoping it shines soon. Personally I view it as "shiny hunt in the background while doing other stuff" I actually don't mind the kind of resets where you wait for a cutscene and Click once or twice like legendaries. Its constantly clicking through dialogue I hate.
ive been trying to finish oras with a full team of shinies for the hall of fame screenshot lmao... i got a shiny mudkip (prob shoudlve gone for trecko but oh well) and a shiny ralts (93 dexnav encounters!!) and then my luck ran dry. 8000 encounters for a single phase (going for roselia, got an oddish instead) so i switched to masuda, hit 683 encounters and nothing so then i met up with someone from the internet irl to get the eon ticket via streetpass for a latios hunt... i got like 2900 RAs in an got demotivated... i might go back to finish that now though after watching this video! your shiny kureum vid actually got me into this playthrough in the first place lol
I just got back into shiny hunting and got a shiny poipole at 705, im thinking of doing more SR hunts in oras and transfering my exclusives to UM to hunt stuff like kyruem or rayquaza
It's so funny you pit up alpha sapphire. I thinks that's the best games for my generation to hunt in. People who are as old as pokemon. Gen 4 and below is nostalgic for me so I get tha old pokemon fee but alot of modern convinces of modern pokemon in 3d. This the game I currently shunt in and started making shorts vlogging my hunts!
Ive watched your videos while doing my Kartana hunt Miraculously I got my Shiny Kartana at 615 soft resets Its my first soft reset shiny and legendary type I named it Talos : D
im a master shiny breeder... been doing this since 2012 when bw2 came out. The only thing I can tell to people that wants to shiny hunt, is to have pantience. Ive been trying to hatch a perfect 5iv competitive shiny scorbunny for some time now, and after 21 hatched shinnies with not so perfect iv spread, im still grinding. Aventually ill get it.
So far i hunted Arceus Dialga Palkia Shaymin Darkrai Rayquaza Poipole Yveltal Celebi Ho-Oh Giratina And currently lugia. My longest was Arceus with 220 hours. It took me longer than darkrai shaymin giratina celebi Ho-Oh And dialga combined. Still worth it. Dialga giratina arceus shaymin and darkrai were all hunted on BD
I feel like this ties to your tip of “try new methods”. When playing games with lower odds/no shiny charm it’s good for making the shiny more meaningful ,and rare. Do this if you get bored of typical shinies ,and want a challenge/special shiny in some way.
I’ve actually used most of the steps you had here! My main goal is to someday have a shiny Kyurem of my own (with my OT of course) kinda sucks black are white are super expensive now, I’ve been trying in the frozen tundra, hopefully theirs some sort of way inside of the indigo disc
to share my first ( & second) shiny experience It was my second playthrough of Sun and i had just got to paniola ranch, i went though the yellow grass forgeting a repel and encountred a full odds shiny mudbray, i didnt quite register at first but he had a special place in my heart as my first ever shiny Now for my first intentional shiny Rowlet aka the bestest roundboi, it was my US save file and i decided to restart and hunt for rowlet because why the hell not, i wasnt counting my resets because i kept forgetting to press the sr button oops but i got him in literally a day and he is what really started my love for shiny hunting. i got a switch amd Sword for christmas (+ im getting legends arceus and scarlet on the 8th) and right now im filling out my dex to get the shiny charm then ill hunt an undecided pokemon and ill update this comment when i reach certain milestones )
@@Anthmags72 I just had a look at my friends groupchat (i was complaining about it taking long, looking back it took absolutely no time at all) but i said about hunting for it at 1am and i found it at 10pm i was so lucky and i didnt even realise at the time lol, also thanks for the reply :DD
I've been shiny hunting Groudon in Soul Silver, after managing Kyogre in Heart Gold (espeon synchronise failed though), for yeeeears, I had been doing hard resets via a broken A and L bumper 3ds, but those are off to get repaired, so IDK my count now. I should really use a reset counter 😅😅
One thing I never understand is counting encounters I feel it slows me down having to increase a counter and gets me out if rhythm. I also hate seeing high numbers. Like you mentioned seeing a hunt that goes way over just fills me with dread and counting encounters to me is a remind of the tedious waiting game that shiny hunting can be
Hey everyone now I know a lot of people like to track there shiny hunts by doing a counter. I normal do the same but doing it can make you feel very angry so if you feel that way just ignore the counter then just calculate the average per encounter per second after you find it. I know shiny hunting can be hard but don’t lose hope you got this
Bruh I have been soft resetting for a shiny Jellicent in White 2 literally since 2017. I go through cycles of about a month or so on and off of hunting. This shiny hunt has ABSOLUTELY KILLED ME like I have been so close to giving up at times. Still going strong though, and have also caught other shinies in different games throughout the years. But goddamn I wish I had an encounter counter started at the beginning because 7 years for one Pokemon is INSANE… 😭😭😭😭😭
This is gonna sound unbelievable but with the charm my dynamax adventure hunt for kartana took 9 months over 16 hundred das and 9 phases funny that the phase and month number was the same
I’ve only ever found 2 shiny pokemon in my 13+ years of playing, first was in Diamond, my first pokemon game. It was a shiny Zubat but i didn’t know about the Up+Select+B you had to do to restart a game and couldn’t keep it. 2nd was when i recently started a new White playthrough after years of not playing, my first encounter was a shiny Patrat, got it down to the red and threw all 5 pokeballs, i ran out.
I tried to shiny hunt a Scorbunny using a french Ditto in Sword, never got it. I've played pokemon for years, i have NEVER seen a shiny ever, except for that one event in Sw/Sh for a shiny Magicarp, which i caught, but i dont count it, honestly. Might try a Sableye if I get the Scorbunny
LET ME SAY, 200 hours for a shiny snivy (shiny starter for my only shiny save) was not fun. I was so disappointed how it didnt shine. Luckily i got it a week and some days ago. 20 mins later i found a shiny patrat as well. However 38 hours or 13864 RE in gen 5 for a shiny solosis is over odds. At the very least Unova is my favorite so all of this work will be worth it
I think I'm at abot 1200-1500 srs with ho oh. I did it for about 3 hrs a while back during a road trip. I just added in around 300 because It was probably around that many. (I took a few breaks during g the trip)
3:03 looking for my shiny zigzagoon right now in Omega Ruby while I watch this, 340 horde encounters so far without the shiny charm, hope I get it today, still morning so I still got the energy to push it to at least 800 encounters which would be waaaay over odds for horde hunting by then (hopefully)
I like SR because it guarantees that you will get the shiny you are looking for (duh 😅) But I also like RE hunts because finding the exact pokémon you are hunting makes you feel so lucky My last hunt was Nidoran male in Gen2. But while hunting for him I managed to find a shiny Ledyba, I'm a huge Ledian fan. And the next day after just a few encounters, I was hunting in Y at the same time, and while watching at the screen, I heard the sparkles, but it wasn't on Y, it was my Crystal, and there it was my shiny Nidoran. Haven't been this lucky I think ever. Fate made me find Ledyba first, because you know if that first shiny would've been Nidoran, I would've been out of there the second I caught it, and I wouldn't have find my little Ledyba
i have a question, im using the emulator "DraStic" on my phone, and im trying to shiny hunt suicune, this emulator lets me load previously saved data, i saved in front of suicune and i keep load the previous data, does that means that im shiny hunting the same Pokémon over and over, or it changes after each try? bcs i dont know if that count as soft reset or not... let me know if im wasting my time or not, thank you😅
I’m not the guy to ask about emulators but I'll try to help. It all depends on when the data of the Pokémon is loaded in that game. So in order to hunt for a shiny, you need to save before the data is loaded for an encounter so you can keep re-rolling the odds. Something you can try is catching Suicune twice and seeing if it has the same stats, nature, etc. that way you will know if it's a different Pokemon every reset. Hope that helps!
Guess I’ll have to find out the hard way. Going for a golet/golurk, couple hundred eggs in so far. Though I took a detour from that in pursuit of a shiny Deoxys, so it might be some time before I get back to that
Stay focused. Like I said, it's good to get into a rhythm but make sure you're paying attention before pressing any buttons. What I do sometimes if it's late or something is wait a few seconds before soft-resetting to make sure there’s no shiny sparkles or I don’t see/hear anything that is different. Double-takes also help out a lot with this.
"do something else, watch tv, watch this video" wel, thats what I'm doing smart guy lol I love watching youtube, while hunting. It's weird how often I get shinies while watching shiny videosEDIT: Got my target 15 encounters after this comment

Not only that, but I also found Giratina in BDSP (super quickly in comparison to my Arceus, thankfully), and am currently on Palkia in USUM. I WOULD have shifted to Palkia regardless if I didn’t catch it that day, but I guess I get to have the Spooky Shiny for Halloween.

I think that is a perfect summary of how I, and many other people, feel about the hobby. Great job!
the rubber band trick was not known to me, i just started full odds hunting with your last video, when i was a kid when HG/SS just came out my brother and i had several shinies in those games, my first was a slowbro in the safari zone, then in 2012-2013ish i learned about shiny hunting and wanted to go for chikorita, and got tododile in under a couple hours, and then never played HGSS after completing that game file.
a few days after the kyurem video dropped, probably 10 years or more since i played HGSS i spent almost 200 CAD on a soul silver copy, after 500ish resets i had a shiny chikorita, i did 4 hours the first night, then TEN MINUTES the next morning. i was ecstatic. a week later i got heartgold because i found it such a fun experience and in FOUR resets (1 minute 34 seconds) i had ANOTHER shiny chikorita (then after being sad the hunt didnt go on longer did random encounters the first route for hoothoot and got one after 134 encounters/47 minutes) i just bought a SECOND heart gold copy yesterday and an extra dsi so i can double hunt and for 2 hours i was swapping each in my hands to do the resets
the rubber bands are gonna make this so much more effective, i just hopefully wont get a third chikorita LOL (though i wont complain if/when i do)
Awesome story!! Glad I could help you out with the rubber band strat!
I have a friend who used to do a lot of Dex Nav hunts. I think I will give it a try!
I was watching this video to try and keep motivation to shiny hunt Rayquaza on BDSP, and not even halfway through, just before 7:36 was when I got it. That was also my first ever authentic shiny legendary by soft resetting. I know you didn't really help that Ray show up, but I'd still like to thank you
Hey, congratulations man! Glad you got it while watching the video!
@@Anthmags72 thanks! It was definitely a surprise
Heyyyy I got mentioned! Thanks! Shiny Hunting is definitely a mental struggle and its greta to finnaly have a guide to it! Great vid!
How are the hunts going? The setting a specific time each day thing also helps me
@@indy5280My Hunt is definitely going good! I haven't had a counter, because ive never had an overodds hunt lol, but I may start one now. And for the time of day, I usually hunt on the weekend, but now that bank is being threatened of a shutdown in the next 2 years, I have a timer. It's not ideal but it's definitely pushing me to hunt! Good luck on your hunts!
Thanks
I always find a random full odds I don't want but not when I am hunting
For anyone checking out his channel these are great tips. I would also suggest that if you want to hunt in Gens 3-7 you might wanna jump on that soon. The bridge between gens is on borrowed time. If you have the Poke Bank or have a friend with Poke bank its supposed to continue working after april of 2024 for now but its borrowed time. They could shut down bank and break the only bridge to move mons to the newest gens.
Thank you for the tips! I watched your other video about hunting a shiny Kyurem and now I'm invested in the wonders of shiny hunting, lol. I'm also thinking of trying to catch a shiny Kyurem (in BW), but since I restarted my save I'm currently nowhere near the postgame. I think I'll try my hand at catching a shiny Yamask or Cofagrigus instead!
Thanks! Hey, good luck regardless!
literally the whole reason I bought bdsp was to shiny hunt some of the legendry's, and thats just what I did, the moment I got access to palkia, I started shiny hunting. 6 months later the pink striped water dragon appeared after 2176 resets, and it felt amazing, so I decided I wanted to do another hunt like that, so I decided on giratina. just 4 days later at 726 resets the blue spiked eel appeared, and yet again I wanted to do another hunt, but for rayquaza this time, so I did hours of preparing to be able to shiny hunt it, spending hours getting mysterious shard, and catching the necessary legendry's to unlock rayquaza, and 2 days later at a jaw dropping 250 resets, the black tapeworm appeared, and again I got cocky, so I got some more mysterious shards, and started my hunt for mewtwo. my mewtwo hunt is ongoing as of writing this comment, and im at 641 resets going strong! :D
Good luck! You are definitely creative when it comes to describing a shiny Pokémon 😂
@@Anthmags72 Thanks! Just waiting on the green tailed mew but grown up 😂
Man, I had tried a Kyurem hunt back in 2021 but gave up. After seeing your video on it a few days ago (late, I know.) It inspired me to pick up the hunt again. Currently 829 resets and counting whenever I can find the time. Gotta thank you for the tips that will definitely help me not go insane!
A shiny hunting tips video with actually helpful ideas? Very cool
Also that last tip resonates with me on a personal level lmao
Awesome! I’m glad they're helpful!
Tip for anyone hunting in an area in gen 2 with fleeing Pokemon in GSC:
Do some catch calc with a level Ball! I found that by having a Pokemon that's at least level 10, a level Ball will garunteed the catch of a Teddiursa that's level 4 in Dark Cave.
Highly recommend it
Hey I got the mention. I've actually been at this game for 2 decades now. I helped start a group on GameFAQs in Gen 3 literally called "The Shinies" that was focused around them at first and just kind of became a social hangout. Currently working on a shiny Landorus in Black and White that I'd ideally like to take to Sacramento Regionals this weekend, but if I don't find it, no biggie.
I really love this video a lot; as someone who watches content creators a lot to fuel my own drive to continue my own hunts, I really appreciate the growing shiny hunting community. Just a few days ago I actually finished my Shiny Giratina hunt in Pokemon Platinum that I had been working on for over half a year and it just feels so gratifying to finally have my first full-odds shiny hunt completed. I know I'll be doing many more in the future! c:
I’m very glad you enjoyed the video. I do the same. Sometimes I get so discouraged by a hunt that I begin questioning whether the shiny's even real or not so I need to look up a video of someone getting it to regain my belief of actually finding it. You also beat me on Giratina too as that is an active(ish) hunt I’m currently doing! This semester's been a lot though so I had to push it aside. Have a nice night!
Tip 11 resonates with me so much. Great video
New Anthmags video!
Thanks for putting so much effort in to these videos, it’s really inspiring!
I’m still getting into shinies and competitive, so this really helps.
Literally got a shiny Guzzlord while I was watching this! Been hunting it and darkrai at the same time, darkrai is over odds and taking ages.
Congrats!! 😂
I am definitely planning on doing some full odds shiny hunts soon since i now have free time! Shiny snivy here we go!
Great video! Loved all of the editing and effects, they looked very satisfying, fun and smooth!
Thank you!! I’m very glad to hear that!
I saw your Kyurem video a while back and kind of forgot about it, but the Kartana video brought me right back! Once I get past rewatching various videos by Absolblogspokemon (also pretty cool to see them mentioned in the video) I'll be sure to rewatch the Kartana and Nihilego videos while I hunt for Pheromosa! (Currently 12 hours in i'm at 2038 resets, I'll probably update you guys on it every 1000)
oh, and thanks for the guide I guess
I'm a little over 18 hours now and I'm at 3096, only a 1000 till odds! woohoo....
I haven't updated you guys in a month lmao
SO BASICALLY: I've been kinda on and off hutning it, so I haven't been doing much, I'm almost 33 hours deep, and I'm over odds at 5621 encounters! Once I reached odds, I kinda stopped hunting a bit, might get back on it soon
Hey, man! Once again, watching this video got me some great shiny luck as I was shiny hunting for Poipole on USUM! I got it in about 722 soft resets and found it around the 15:49 timestamp! Again, I know you had no influence over the odds, but I'd like to say thank you again lol
That's awesome man, congratulations!! I’m gonna be hunting Poipole sometime soon so hopefully it won't be awful for me lol!
@@Anthmags72 Thanks! I hope you get that Poipole early!
im currently doing a shiny hunt for honedge in y rn, i'll definitely try to remember these tricks for the next hunt i do!
i've already tried to shiny hunt a few times, with varying success, so these will probably be very helpful for me :D
Hey, I just want you to know that I’ve watched this video about six times when I have lost motivation at the ending of watching this video I realised I finished all of those hunts and this one won’t be an exception. Thanks for making this great video on shiny hunting and good luck on your next hunt
Damn with this video you got me excited to go shinyhunting and great video btw
Just came back to say that I finally got my shiny ho oh. I took about 1700 srs. I got it while watching maximum overdrive. But your tip with the tape made it much more bearable, thank you.
You're amazing man! Congrats!
No matter what you cover next, there will always be people interested
Another tip:Please,if there's any way to increase your odds,just do it.If you hear that your fav poketuber only hunts at full odds(SupremeRK9s),please,don't pick up the same habbit.Always hunting at full odds is draining and try your best to avoid it and only do it when you don't have any other choice(Shaymin in BDSP for example)
That's your opinion and you're entitled to it. Personally, I enjoy waiting for weeks or months to find something. Makes me feel much better. 😌
That’s good and all, but some people like their shinies being found at their full odds level, no boost. Feels more rewarding for me at least. Got my spirtitomb after 8815 encounters and took months but I was so happy
Fun fact: if you find a shiny pokemon at full odds, it’s literally the same as a shiny found at reduced odds.
@@sourlemon1002all shiny no matter if they are boosted or full odds have the same value. They are always shiny no matter what and I don't understand why ppl hating on a boosted shiny. If you like to waste your life by sitting in a room to reset for more than 10k times then good it's your choice because I've been in that situation before already.
I have an experience of hunting 1/8192 shiny from gen 2 to gen 5 and those might be fun when you finally got it but the process is like a waste of time and way too long. So when they make the odds 1/4096 starting 3ds era, I've decided shiny hunting in these games and it didn't disappoint me as it became more comfortable and manageable.
@@Scuba4Steveexactly, it's always the same and my reaction is always the same even at 1/8192 or 1/4096 hunt there's no really changes at all lmao. Idk why these ppl are going so hard with it, gamefreak literally made shiny hunting more fun and they did it intentionally just for these ppl to hate it lmao 😂. Ppl can be weird sometimes ngl.
I want to clarify something on the rubber bands: No, it won't harm your system, but if you leave it on without taking it off, it can mess with your LR buttons to where they won't register when they're pressed, so you'll have to open your system to fix it. If you take a break, take it off, if you're done for the day, take it off. I've experienced this issue firsthand with a couple of systems.
On tip 9, I almost cried when you tossed the ds there.
I was trying to get a female grookey for competitive Pokémon and accidentally hatched a shiny grookey after 4 eggs any advice on a fun hunt to do I haven’t gotten any shiny Pokémon in bw and bw2 or oras/xy
Another video I have been waiting! ❤
Edit: I will have to watch tomorrow its already late
Did you ever come back?
@@fyrehardcore4663 yea I came back and watche it! It was an good video I recommend it if you haven't already watched it
I just got the shiny charm in violet, good time to see this video
I love shiny hunting but i only have gen 8 and 9 and i was thinking about buying a ds lite with pokemon emerald or black 2 (if i find any that wotn cost me my liver) so that is a very helpful video thx man
These are some good tips, I’d definitely agree with doing something else while hunting. I rarely hunt without doing that. But another tip I figure I should add.
Don’t feel like your cheating for using methods like charm, chain fishing, or sandwiches. Your value of your shiny comes from you alone. So if you haven’t got much time, no need to full odds it for it to ‘count’ do whatever
works for you.
Watching things whilst hunting also given me good name ideas or just memories.
Like, I remember Welcome to Eden pretty much purely because I found shiny Celebi in what I’m pretty sure was the final episode.
Or watching through Inscryption while hunting (Garbodor or Kyurem, not entirely sure which as they were my first hunts).
Yes that is a very great piece of advice. Often while surfing the internet, one can feel like their shinies aren't as cool as the other people's hunts and that simply ain't true.
I’m 5317 resets into my shiny tepig hunt in Pokemon black thank god my brother keeps motivating me to keep going I think I’m almost there!
Taping down the bumpers was huge. Reminds me of when I would stick a dime under the joystick in x while hatching eggs in that circular city.
OH MY GOD YOU DID THAT TOO?!?!
Excellent video! Always enjoyable. Currently I'm soft resetting for a shiny snivy and yeah, after nearly 2 months plus a break over lent, I'm sure hoping it shines soon.
Personally I view it as "shiny hunt in the background while doing other stuff"
I actually don't mind the kind of resets where you wait for a cutscene and Click once or twice like legendaries. Its constantly clicking through dialogue I hate.
Thank you very much! And yes, I very much agree!
I've wanted a shiny Lapras so bad for my entire life and I'm ready to finally take my shot at it
Good luck!
ive been trying to finish oras with a full team of shinies for the hall of fame screenshot lmao... i got a shiny mudkip (prob shoudlve gone for trecko but oh well) and a shiny ralts (93 dexnav encounters!!) and then my luck ran dry. 8000 encounters for a single phase (going for roselia, got an oddish instead) so i switched to masuda, hit 683 encounters and nothing so then i met up with someone from the internet irl to get the eon ticket via streetpass for a latios hunt... i got like 2900 RAs in an got demotivated... i might go back to finish that now though after watching this video! your shiny kureum vid actually got me into this playthrough in the first place lol
3:00 called me out straight up😂 im legit multitasking to beat sappire with my new shiny torchic so i can hunt shiny kyogre
Your channel is also a big reason why I want to hunt for shiny Giratina 😸
I want to do Giratina too!
THE GOAT IS BACK, NOW HES THE TEACHER AHHHHH
I just got back into shiny hunting and got a shiny poipole at 705, im thinking of doing more SR hunts in oras and transfering my exclusives to UM to hunt stuff like kyruem or rayquaza
It's so funny you pit up alpha sapphire. I thinks that's the best games for my generation to hunt in. People who are as old as pokemon. Gen 4 and below is nostalgic for me so I get tha old pokemon fee but alot of modern convinces of modern pokemon in 3d. This the game I currently shunt in and started making shorts vlogging my hunts!
Ive watched your videos while doing my Kartana hunt
Miraculously I got my Shiny Kartana at 615 soft resets
Its my first soft reset shiny and legendary type
I named it Talos : D
Congratulations man, a little quicker than mine! Take good care of Talos!
im a master shiny breeder... been doing this since 2012 when bw2 came out. The only thing I can tell to people that wants to shiny hunt, is to have pantience. Ive been trying to hatch a perfect 5iv competitive shiny scorbunny for some time now, and after 21 hatched shinnies with not so perfect iv spread, im still grinding. Aventually ill get it.
i love that tip number eleven xD
I use illuminate mons to increase encounters to help get the encounters faster
So far i hunted
Arceus
Dialga
Palkia
Shaymin
Darkrai
Rayquaza
Poipole
Yveltal
Celebi
Ho-Oh
Giratina
And currently lugia. My longest was Arceus with 220 hours. It took me longer than darkrai shaymin giratina celebi Ho-Oh And dialga combined. Still worth it.
Dialga giratina arceus shaymin and darkrai were all hunted on BD
I feel like this ties to your tip of “try new methods”. When playing games with lower odds/no shiny charm it’s good for making the shiny more meaningful ,and rare. Do this if you get bored of typical shinies ,and want a challenge/special shiny in some way.
I’ve actually used most of the steps you had here! My main goal is to someday have a shiny Kyurem of my own (with my OT of course) kinda sucks black are white are super expensive now, I’ve been trying in the frozen tundra, hopefully theirs some sort of way inside of the indigo disc
After seeing your BW hunt that inspired me to also shiny hunt in my old BW save (I still haven’t got kyreurem 😭)
Well good luck!
I'm shiny hunting Celebi on Pokemon Crystal since December. I'm gonna get it some day !
to share my first ( & second) shiny experience
It was my second playthrough of Sun and i had just got to paniola ranch, i went though the yellow grass forgeting a repel and encountred a full odds shiny mudbray, i didnt quite register at first but he had a special place in my heart as my first ever shiny
Now for my first intentional shiny
Rowlet aka the bestest roundboi, it was my US save file and i decided to restart and hunt for rowlet because why the hell not, i wasnt counting my resets because i kept forgetting to press the sr button oops but i got him in literally a day and he is what really started my love for shiny hunting.
i got a switch amd Sword for christmas (+ im getting legends arceus and scarlet on the 8th) and right now im filling out my dex to get the shiny charm then ill hunt an undecided pokemon and ill update this comment when i reach certain milestones )
That's so awesome dude!! I can believe you went for SM starters, that's a brutal soft-rest!
@@Anthmags72 I just had a look at my friends groupchat (i was complaining about it taking long, looking back it took absolutely no time at all) but i said about hunting for it at 1am and i found it at 10pm i was so lucky and i didnt even realise at the time lol, also thanks for the reply :DD
@@StarryPuppeteer Hey, congratulations on both of those shinies, they sound very special!

Nintendo shutting down Online services and pokemon Bank soon on 3DS: *"Are you sure about that?"*
I've been on a dual hunt for a few years now, Marill in Gen 3 and Remoraid in Gen 5, though each have been on and off
I've been shiny hunting Groudon in Soul Silver, after managing Kyogre in Heart Gold (espeon synchronise failed though), for yeeeears, I had been doing hard resets via a broken A and L bumper 3ds, but those are off to get repaired, so IDK my count now. I should really use a reset counter 😅😅
This really helped me, I am gonna pick up the double grass encounters in BW2. And thanks for that rubber band tip.
Those are my favorite!
One thing I never understand is counting encounters I feel it slows me down having to increase a counter and gets me out if rhythm. I also hate seeing high numbers. Like you mentioned seeing a hunt that goes way over just fills me with dread and counting encounters to me is a remind of the tedious waiting game that shiny hunting can be
Hey everyone now I know a lot of people like to track there shiny hunts by doing a counter. I normal do the same but doing it can make you feel very angry so if you feel that way just ignore the counter then just calculate the average per encounter per second after you find it. I know shiny hunting can be hard but don’t lose hope you got this
I'm actively carving a candle, correct about the multitasking.
Bro's doing what?
Bruh I have been soft resetting for a shiny Jellicent in White 2 literally since 2017. I go through cycles of about a month or so on and off of hunting. This shiny hunt has ABSOLUTELY KILLED ME like I have been so close to giving up at times. Still going strong though, and have also caught other shinies in different games throughout the years. But goddamn I wish I had an encounter counter started at the beginning because 7 years for one Pokemon is INSANE… 😭😭😭😭😭
I am trying to do a shiny only run through in White 2 and it’s literally gonna be my 6th slot. Like what the actual fuck. I started the file in 2016….
This is gonna sound unbelievable but with the charm my dynamax adventure hunt for kartana took 9 months over 16 hundred das and 9 phases funny that the phase and month number was the same
@@emposiblethegamer639 Kartana's a jerk
3:29 i was shiny hunting for beldum while seeing this vid :D
I’ve only ever found 2 shiny pokemon in my 13+ years of playing, first was in Diamond, my first pokemon game. It was a shiny Zubat but i didn’t know about the Up+Select+B you had to do to restart a game and couldn’t keep it. 2nd was when i recently started a new White playthrough after years of not playing, my first encounter was a shiny Patrat, got it down to the red and threw all 5 pokeballs, i ran out.
I tried to shiny hunt a Scorbunny using a french Ditto in Sword, never got it. I've played pokemon for years, i have NEVER seen a shiny ever, except for that one event in Sw/Sh for a shiny Magicarp, which i caught, but i dont count it, honestly. Might try a Sableye if I get the Scorbunny
Start small and work your way up
LET ME SAY, 200 hours for a shiny snivy (shiny starter for my only shiny save) was not fun. I was so disappointed how it didnt shine. Luckily i got it a week and some days ago. 20 mins later i found a shiny patrat as well. However 38 hours or 13864 RE in gen 5 for a shiny solosis is over odds. At the very least Unova is my favorite so all of this work will be worth it
Sounds like fun! I do love my Unova hunts!
I can’t believe I only found your channel now
i put this video on while looking for shiny galarian zigzagoon and i kid you not, found it three encounters later
I think I'm at abot 1200-1500 srs with ho oh. I did it for about 3 hrs a while back during a road trip. I just added in around 300 because It was probably around that many. (I took a few breaks during g the trip)
Hey, that's a sweet way to pass the time! Good luck!
I'm shiny hunting Electrode in Hear Gold, but I'm starting to wonder if I need a regular DS instead of a 2DS
first! excited to watch a new video from you!
How do I get harvest Pokémon in black 2 now that dream world is down
Tip for efficiently shiny hunting? Play SV. Free shinies. Sadly diminishes their value/rarity…so I still enjoy getting shinies in the older games!
3:03 looking for my shiny zigzagoon right now in Omega Ruby while I watch this, 340 horde encounters so far without the shiny charm, hope I get it today, still morning so I still got the energy to push it to at least 800 encounters which would be waaaay over odds for horde hunting by then (hopefully)
just got the little guy
im just watching this video meanwhile im shiny hunting frillish in pokemon black 2
I like SR because it guarantees that you will get the shiny you are looking for (duh 😅)
But I also like RE hunts because finding the exact pokémon you are hunting makes you feel so lucky
My last hunt was Nidoran male in Gen2. But while hunting for him I managed to find a shiny Ledyba, I'm a huge Ledian fan. And the next day after just a few encounters, I was hunting in Y at the same time, and while watching at the screen, I heard the sparkles, but it wasn't on Y, it was my Crystal, and there it was my shiny Nidoran. Haven't been this lucky I think ever. Fate made me find Ledyba first, because you know if that first shiny would've been Nidoran, I would've been out of there the second I caught it, and I wouldn't have find my little Ledyba
Great guide ^^
Definitely take breaks every hour or two. It gets really demoralizing just sitting there soft resetting over and over.

I've a question. I'm hunting Shiny Kyurem using an original cartrigde of PW2 on my Nintendo 3DS, just pressing the HOME button counts as a Soft Reset?
@@roqsan3513 yes that closes the game but it is slower than the traditional method of L+R and Start/Select.
i have a question, im using the emulator "DraStic" on my phone, and im trying to shiny hunt suicune, this emulator lets me load previously saved data, i saved in front of suicune and i keep load the previous data, does that means that im shiny hunting the same Pokémon over and over, or it changes after each try? bcs i dont know if that count as soft reset or not... let me know if im wasting my time or not, thank you😅
I’m not the guy to ask about emulators but I'll try to help. It all depends on when the data of the Pokémon is loaded in that game. So in order to hunt for a shiny, you need to save before the data is loaded for an encounter so you can keep re-rolling the odds. Something you can try is catching Suicune twice and seeing if it has the same stats, nature, etc. that way you will know if it's a different Pokemon every reset. Hope that helps!

I have no idea, maybe?
Guess I’ll have to find out the hard way. Going for a golet/golurk, couple hundred eggs in so far. Though I took a detour from that in pursuit of a shiny Deoxys, so it might be some time before I get back to that
Awesome 😎
Love this any more tips
Any tips to not accidentally soft reset shinies?
Stay focused. Like I said, it's good to get into a rhythm but make sure you're paying attention before pressing any buttons. What I do sometimes if it's late or something is wait a few seconds before soft-resetting to make sure there’s no shiny sparkles or I don’t see/hear anything that is different. Double-takes also help out a lot with this.
"do something else, watch tv, watch this video"
