Thanks bud
darkrai was just in go through legendary raids
Perfect, my favourite Pokémon Darkrai ain't in the game :(
Cant farm melmetal cause u gotta be like lv 30 on poke go
Does getting the magearna from completing the national dex count?
"Hey i'm Austin John, from the channel Austin John Plays."
A very true and compelling statement.
Honestly I thought it was an imposter until he confirmed his name and channel himself
@@gabee7268 ikr
@Denis-Andre Torres Lopez im french no judgie :(
Indeed
Let me guess: Austin John plays in games on his channel Austin John Plays?
Should be in game events, like what they have been doing for other things.
That would require a map that has nooks and crannies which pokemon has shown they dont want to do
Zeraora and mewtwo event was the coolest thing we ever had in sword and shield and it's easy to limit at one catch for each players
@@mathcs9991 thats barely an event tbh. See victini, keldeo in gen 5, shaymin in gen 4. I will give it to ORAS and Crown Tundra for providing quest lines for deoxys and keldeo.
@@mathcs9991 no it was not an easy event. I don't know how hard or long time I tried to get to mewtwo or zeraora but I could not get to those pokemons no matter how hard I tryed so don't say it was an easy event
there should be a new game that comes out where all the mythical pokémon come together and the creators can make back story for all of them
Shoutout to the Action Replay for Darkrai and Arceus events back in G4 games.
Big Factz!!
I remember exploring the Void and came across Darkrai, Arceus and Giratina this way. Didn’t know they existed. Was so awesome
... is that Criss Cross Applesauce?
@@klevefriendshipsupreme9007 In the flesh.
You can get a Darkrai with a glitch though. No need to hack to transfer it to pokemon home. ;)
Game freak: free mythical Pokémon to celebrate 25 years!!!! *japan only
I certainly hope not!
Japan always gets those dumb exclusives. Feels bad man
I see that happening, though I certainly hope it won't happen
If they did that I would actually cry
@@jaredjameson3707 well because pokemon was made in japan
Remember when getting a mythical Pokemon would trigger a cutscene and then have you access to a new area to go catch it? Those were good times...
Remember when you had to go into GameStop and ask the person at the register for a code, despite your social anxiety and being a ten year old? Those weren’t the good times... :D
@@theradiantdehd3997 OMG YES SAME
Without a doubt. Bring more life to the pokemon's history and let us catch it!
Yeah, but they won't. It's Clownfreak.
@@theradiantdehd3997 yeah...still feels like it happens if I do have to do that again
Kinda ruins the whole motto of "gotta catch em all" if you can only get them from events
Hey trainer better catch all of those pokemon with hard work :)... wait... dont tell me you are trying to catch them all? You can only do that when I want you to.
Gotta put in all the mystery gift codes
I guess that's why the stop using that motto since gen 3.
I mean it became irrelevant when Sw/Sh cut the national dex.
@@angelcruz8580 even with dex cutted in half the motto is still true if you can catch every Pokemon that is in game.
Everyone: Mythical Pokémon are bad
Arceus: *I care not for your insults. I am your shaper.*
@Quade Carter Same
Thank you
I like mythicals y’all are just haters people have there own opinions
Cringe
the events shouldn't be region based
for years it feels like I'm buying 60% of a game because I live in the Caribbean
i literally came to the comments to say i’m from the bahamas so sucks to be me lmao
that’s such an exaggeration
@@callofdutywii1 when came to the unlocked events its no exaggeration
then the next generation you needed the event pokemon to get Zorua in a building
@@panmanafro A lot of events were never even made available outside of Japan, especially back in the Gen 3, 4, and 5 games, which had entire areas and cutscenes for each event, but I wouldn't say that I'm missing 40% of the game. Maybe like 2%, and even then, that's generous. Nowadays, all you're missing is a dude in a Pokemon center handing you a gift, and that feels like 40%?
@@Gatchu137 yes because the point of the game is to collect pokemon
as most of the games stand without spending extra money the most you can/could have done was collect all the items
lately it's been more like missing out on 20% because of trading and better events but the pokemon company is lazy with these games because they make money with little to no effort
Thank you for helping me get my Victini from Pokémon GO to SwSh Austin John from the channel Austin John Plays!
That's what the Poke people do. We help each other.
I would do the same for a stranger online, we gamers stick together and help each other
Wait. I thought you could catch a victini in SwSh.
It’s ridiculous that you can’t put Pokémon from home straight into SwSh if you have never had them in it! We were told at the start that it was Go to Home to SwSh and now there’s an asterisk against SwSh
Holy cow, it's you; the one I always suspect when watching RaeRae stream Among Us!
I thought you were gonna talk about the fact that they can't be used officially and for 3 gens now there's no backstory. You just get them, smile, put them in a box and that's it
Yeah, dont know why he’s crying about not being to get some *myth*ical pokémon
Yes I have this!
Puts it in box for it to never see the light of day again
I thought it would deal with how some mythics are far underwhelming that regular pokemon
Yeah idk when GameFreak started to think it was okay to just throw these things into the games without backstory IN THE GAMES.
I do remember they said they gave up on doing in-game stuff for the event pokemon because it could be datamined and hacked and ruined, but that's not really an excuse anymore with games like Sword and Shield being essentially live-service things that can be patched.
How hard is it for them to make 30 seconds of animations in the Wild Area for a Zarude event?
Pokemon fans really think "you can make content time limited as long as it looks fancy" lmao.
A friend of mine in the army was making a full shiny living dex. One day he needed a new pair of boots so I gave him an extra pair (we were in the same unit) and he traded it for a shiny Jirachi.
You literally described my entire childhood lol, we had no Nintendo presence here hence 0 events, all you could do is watch the Anime & the films and think how much you want Mew etc.
I wasn't somewhere without events, but I never even knew they were a thing, much less when they were and even less so how to get there. The only mythicals I've gotten pre magearna are a few hacked ones in diamond.

Seems were the same sharon. I too am kinda disappointed due to the fact that the nintendos presence in my country is absolute 0%, wats worse is dat, my country currency doesnt even exist in the nintendo shop, so i have to make a us account
It was sad. Especially when you got older and saw the Deoxys events were only in select countries and specific cities.
@@ElReySupr3me even the marshadow event, only available at gamestop i think back then
What's really unfortunate about older games is that there are areas in those games that are locked forever. Older mythical events are basically locked, on-disk DLC.
*on-cartridge
With the virtual console release of Crystal, they have the event for Celebi automatically in the game, which previously was not obtainable for most people in the world. I imagine they could do some more things like this if they re-release older games like Ruby and Saphire on the switch.
In gen 4 there are two ways to still go to these areas; the void glitch and the dns exploit (also in gen 5). You should check them out because they’re very interesting
@@oxedward4738 I agree because I want the mythical pokemon. They do need to do something like crystal and partially ORAS with deoyxs.
@@stevenfeagley3227 I could provide mythicals, but they won't be legit, depends how much you care about legitimacy, personally I don't think it hurts anyone to hack in a mythical that is otherwise unobtainable by the player cause they missed an event
That 20th anniversary event was literally one of the best times to be a Pokemon fan since the big boom from gen 1-3
fr mad fun
Tru
I'm more dissapointed by how the mythicals were obtained. Like in gen 4 where you had actual events where you could catch them. I didn't like how you could just download them and have them in your party now
Almost like it's a marketing gimmick and they realized that they could just do the minimum effort and people would still attend.
It was an experience I heard and now it’s just handed to you by some guy in a Pokémon center or Pokémon home like how are you supposed to get that magearna unless you’ve been a Pokémon fan since 2016?
But the current method is much more accessible than the previous method (to a point, it still requires an internet connection which is still a privilege in many households but usually if you have access to handheld games you have access to home internet).
I can’t imagine not having car access or being disabled in varying ways and having to make extra effort to go to these places to download them. Esp if you live in a rural town on top of that. Pokemon aren’t real, there’s nothing to getting mythical pokemon that says anything about your skill or prowess. They should be in the game lol. Varying difficulties within the game to catch it? Absolutely. THAT would add skill and luck to it that you can brag about :)
@@knowhatnot347 Ah yes the experience of going to Gamestop.
@@asmrtpop2676 My point is irregardless to how you obtain the event, the pokemon itself should be caught and not simply handed.
“Hey i Am Austin John here”
“No intro plays”
Me: Oh crap this must me serious :o
I remember when my grandma went out of her way to bring me to a GameStop on the last day of the Keldeo event. I had to connect to the GameStop WiFi to get it and it took forever, but it was worth it
Austin: We still have a sliver of hope of getting these events in the 25th Anniversary.
The 25th Anniversary: Singing Pikachu :3
The Magearna original color is the weirdest, you need to have a full national dex for it, which means you need to get Magearna to get another Magearna
I thought Mythicals didn't count
@@hylianhero1921 they do I had to get zeraora before they gave it to me
Imagine kids today really into the game and can’t get some because they weren’t even born when it was available
I can relate
My brother got me three mythical
Yeah like me
I just, you know...
NEVER DELETE MY OLD SAVE FILES WHAT DID YOU THINK GAMESHARK HA WHAT A NERD
WOW THATS RELATEBLE
Recently, I have been trying to get a Home living Dex, but I haven't been able to finish it due to mythicals. The main reason why I'm upset about it is because most all mythical pokemon I could have gotten, but I was to young to figure out how to obtain them.
Im trying to do a living dex as well and its not great
I bought the mythicals off ebay, i know its unethical, but we dont really have a choice
Wich you need in sword and shield i can get any you want
A knew I wasn’t the only person with the exact problem
@@N5Addiction they want a living copy, meaning you wont be getting it back, not only that but not all mythicals are in sword and shield, so you need to 3ds code move them from bank
Luckily Gen 8 doesn't have that problem since most of the mythicals aren't even coded in to begin with 🙃
Well now 14 out of 22 of the mythicals are in the game
And then HOME came around
Zearora,mew,genesect,volcanion,marshadow,
Funnily enough it's a good way to prevent cheated pokemon if those pokemon don't exist
@Natha Colón, he is with an event, also he’s needed for Armor dex completion
"If you see a pokemon on the box art it's a legendary"
Charizard/Blastoise/Pikachu fanboy detected
Well, it would be weird to have a game called red/blue/yellow and for all of them to have mewtwo on the box
@@thstan4062 Have you heard of the legendary birds? Their colors even match the titles
@@wiktordykas5513 the legendary birds
Didnt have a colour in blue and red plus they aren't really the main legendary, mewtwo was
If they also included green as a part of a trio (outside of japan) or make version exclusives as box art pokemon i would understand, but this is just weird
@@wiktordykas5513 well considering it was just gen 1 they probably didn't know what pokemone to add as box pokemon, so they chose the starters instead, then every other gen they decided to choose the box legendaries
Started playing pokemon 2016, so yes, there's a lot I missed out on over the years.
I like the idea of rolling time-window events. Every year for example, a short window that you can grab a mythical for a week or month. So you have to pay attention, but you could also get it next year if you miss out. So it keeps it special, but still accessible.
Wouldn’t even be a problem for me if they handled mythicals like how they did in 4th gen. The darkrai event, shaymin, hell even arceus had a cool one even if it never got released. Anyways blah blah blah the old gens were better blah blah
I agree. Even the way they did legendaries in that game was amazing. I loved that gen.
The void glitch is prob why they stopped that. Yeah...
Roselina Gong that brings me BACK. I remember getting together with my friends after school trying to figure it out. Kind of adds to the mystique imo
@PMDP S2806 Then there wouldn't be any value to anybody's pokemon collection. Legendaries are already worthless, even the rarest of normal pokemon are easy enough to come by, and mythicals likewise, wouldn't be valuable. The only way for any pokemon to be worth anything would be for it to be shiny.
@PMDP S2806 That sounds way worse than mythicals being limited-release.
Still missing Manaphy and Hoopa in my living dex. Going to find a copy of Pokemon Ranger. Thanks Bird Keeper Toby.
Good luck lol
I remember Hoopa was available from McDonald's here in the States.
A copy of Pokemon Ranger that hasn't done the event is very hard to find. I have one sealed copy that I've been stuck in limbo between preserving forever and opening so I can get Manaphy.
You can now get manaphy in legends arceus 🙂but hoopa is still currently unavailable
Zeraora was announced in Australia but it never came. I called my local eb games twice and they said people had been calling all day about the Zeraora and we never got it. So now I have a legit shiny Zeraora but not a legit regular one.
Thanks for coming to my TEDtalk
I have an extra you can have
Same bro
Took me 2 years to get my Zeraora, i live in Argentina so yea is that painful to get a legit Mythical pokemon glad you got the shiny still ❤
Haven’t watched the whole video yet but I agree.

Maybe if they atleast incorporated in the game a really difficult and tedious task proving your worth and hardwork just to obtain mythical pokemon would be kinda fun and rewarding, like somewhat feeling an accomplishment, Unlike Getting it from Stores or Over Wifi [:
In my opinion they should have a way of getting atleast 1 Mythical Pokemon in each game not this stupid distribution crap where you gotta hope the store they choose is near you or you don't get it.
i think i would be cool if you could do side quests that would eventually build up to fighting and catching the mythical
I agreed just like they added Keldeo,they can even make that part of the history of the game after catching the legendary and besting the league there are rumors of the mythical Pokémon but they give you hard riddles and few clues so you can investigate talk to all people in game,etc,etc.You probably find the footprints and that indicates is nesr and its roaming,there’s a lot of opportunities and ideas that can make this happen,but they don’t care about their fans anymore
@@shaulalayne that's sounds like a better idea for a few mythical pokemon, but I dunno how it would work for some very powerful ones tho (compared to other pokemons)
I cheated the azure flute into my platinum game and I don't regret it at all because at least I had to battle and catch it.
But with Mythicals these days it's "Gotta receive em all" and I long for the days where events actually were events instead of giveaways.
I can't begin to thank you for telling us the QR code still worked! I've been working on a Living Dex on and off for the last 2 or 3 years and was starting to worry about how to get some of the mythical pokemon. Thank you so very much!
As someone who's favourite part of Pokemon is completing the Pokedex, simply not having access to some mythicals that I missed just really sucks. Wish they would either put the mythicals in the game but make them extremely difficult to get and require a ton of grinding, or just do distributions more often.
Also please stop with the going to stores to get a code in person that was so dumb and awkward lol and they wont give you more than one code most of the time so if you have both sword and shield for example and you want 2, too bad you only get 1
It's made even worse by the fact Mythical Pokémon are required in order to receive the original colors Magearna.
Once I got 3 idk what you mean
But I do definitely agree they should be available in game it's so annoying
They’ll probably release more. They released a lot in 2016
I knew a girl in GameStop who would give me extra codes
I really don't like how despite being "Event" Pokemon, it's not all that eventful. Just being handed a Pokemon with Zero context is really saddening, even more-so when you can't even get them based on where you live. I felt nothing for Pokemon like Volcanion, Marshadow or Magearna. Sure they're cool but just lacks that extra substance.
Never had a volcanion(legitimately) it just popped out from nowhere to me so I get your point I wished they did have some type of event like shaymin or victini a backstory, cutscene or whatever, but just boom! here's a Pokémon doesn't work for me
uh can two male Pokémon breed or no like idk uh
On the other hand, they gave us about a dozen mythical Pokemon in 2016, so... worth it.
@@TechnicalJimActual lol
@@ruppito Imagine if they did that during this year while the pandemic was going on. That would have been cool (if they had the time to organize it, anyway.) They might even do it again for the 25th anniversary. I'd definitely be cool with that.
Mew is my favorite Pokémon ever, so back in 2016 for the 20th anniversary, I knew this could possibly be my only shot to get it. Luckily I met a really cool guy who worked at GameStop who said they were absolutely overstocked with the event codes. Ended up getting ten Mews and I haven’t run short since.
Finally! Someone, ANYONE is talking about this!!! I've always HATED how they've handed mythical pokemon! They need, need, NEED to make mythical pokemon widely available!!!
I kinda like the fact that some pokemon are actually rare and difficult to get. Its like a little reward for playing all these years and every generation. Got to catch em all should be a challenge. If someone has a legit living Dex its very impressive. Let's keep it that way.
@@TheRandopro lets not
@@greengreens6347 a living dex means nothing now compared to how it used to be. Keep it a challenge.
@@TheRandopro theres no challenge in pay walls
@@greengreens6347 buying a game is not a pay wall lol. Now, mew on the let's go pokeball controller, that's a paywall, but there are plenty of other ways to get a mew.
They also distributed Mew in the US at the Pokemon Training Tour 99 with a machine that would upload it to the gameboy cartridge.
Yep. I got one. It was pretty awesome.
Got one from toys r us back in the day....when they used to have the tcg group/tourney going on during the weekends.
I remember that sooo long ago a mythical event itself really
Mythical events back in the day were so badly advertised. I didn't start playing until gen 3 but I never saw a single ad for any event. Not even the jirachi for Colosseum or the manaphy for pokemon ranger. You'd think it would have been an ad during Pokemon episodes or something. It wasn't until Gen 5 that events were more well known.
Sure, if you lived close enough to a major city. My parents weren't willing(/able) to drive me 3+ hours each way to get one.
It's not only mythicals. If you didn't pick up that pokeball pattern vivillion like 7 years ago , you can't get it anymore
I ended up getting all of them with the last one being the fancy pattern
I related to this video so much! As a person in Jamaica, GameStops and related stores don't exist here, and because I don't live in or near the city, making it to raids, completing events (or heck just finding a PokeStop) in Pokémon GO was difficult before the pandemic. Honestly, if it wasn't for my friends throughout social media. Getting some mythical Pokémon would be impossible. I'm extremely grateful to them and the mythicals released in game. That being said, I still don't have a couple.
R.I.P. my chances of original colour Magearna
Same
That problem with Pokemon Go really got me. I traded my Mew, Celebi, and Jirachi over to home. Now they're stuck.
Also, if you got Victini and transfered it before taking a picture of victini for the quest in Pokemon Go you can't finish the quest.
Should have keepted, until go shut downs. Hope that doesn't happen
I can trade with you if you’d like?
@@sebastiaan00799 im down, do you have discord?
@@evank1933 Yes!
They need more Zeraora type events.
I hope they do it like that each month new Mythical
Or Keldeo type
it's a low chance they will do that BUT i can happen but they are not gonna do it every month
This is how they should introduce new shiny mythicals
I love the zeraora events idea maybe change the type of create a shadowm zeraora whete he is black
It's upsetting to me that Genesect was only available shiny in GO. I love pokemon, but I'm not much of a GO player, and nowhere near strong enough to do raids on my own. I feel like that being the only way to get it isn't as inclusive as they thought it was.
I believe it was released in Japan as a shiny for a while, with the release of the Mega Mewtwo movie
@@waxboy9000 of course Japan would get it
@@estelle5798 japan gets fking everything pokemon
If you have nontemdo online i can get you a shiny genesect
Yeah I got lucky and got a Japan one.
I feel uneasy because Majora is looking directly into my soul
Now that you pointed it out *I’m* feeling uneasy
When I was a child, red and blue era, my local mall had a Nintendo sponsored Pokémon battle tournament. Everyone who participated got a legit mew with a certificate of authenticity put onto your game cartridge.
I thought this vid was going to be about how lame the events have been. For a Pokémon that’s so special I feel like going into a GameStop for it is pretty underwhelming
@Ruhaan_01 you couldn’t have said it any better 👌🏻
@@iati0s do you have Marshadow or Volcanion if so I’m looking for them but only if their legit event ones not hacked
@@jlaff98 ?
@@cartersmith9842 ya I know its not a great user name but I just thought of it one day and then never actually made any videos just use the account to watch and comment on videos
Going to GameStop for me at least felt somewhat rewarding especially getting that cool scratch off card and getting extras for my friends. I prefer it over the new method of getting it through Home
They should do the mythical pokemon in raids like zeraora cause that was a fun and unique way of getting a mythical
A required amount of times to beat a unique mythical pokemon in order to get the mythical pokemon, is really a brilliant idea. I really like the zeraora event cuz its simple to get the requirements to get the zeraora
as long as its dynamax adventure rules im probably (mostly) ok with it until we get to arceus. that zeroara and mewtwo carnage is one giant no in my book
this
True
@@Ryuga1005 I like when it’s hard, Not simple. Not 2 hard, but there’s a special requirement.
They better have darkrai next dlc. I’m starting to actually lose online battling now 😂😂.
This is a problem that really affected me cause I spent hundreds of hours trying to get every single pokemon in the dex for the shiny charm without the use of me trading to myself. I got about 90% of the way there but there simply was too many mythicals that I couldnt obtain
In Pokémon home?
@@darciheadswillroll no in oras
@@BirdGod Mythics dont count in your dex. You can collect every pokemon except them and get it.
@@DarkDodgers false
@@BirdGod Its true, mythicals do appear in the dex but arent required for 100% completion
The Sinnoh mythical events were my favorite. At the very least, you were clued into their existence and they weren’t treated as if they never existed.
I mean, yeah but then there were those event items which never got released in NA... for some reason.
Yeah, the Sinnoh Events were awesome ^^ (I missed them, but I got myself an Action Replay to trigger the Events ^^'')
And you needed to catch them it wasn’t just handed to you. The events themselfs have been boring sense gen 6. The only cool things they did with mythical was Deoxys in oras and Keldeo and zeraora in swsh
@@Feurigel1806 That’s the way I had to get them in Pearl, but Arceus wasn’t coded in properly, so it had a bug that crashed your game in specific instances. I got the legit events for Darkrai and Shaymin in Platinum, though.
The idea was so cool, but they couldn't implement it correctly because of few events and limited internet access (WEP access was very different then). They could do it much better this gen and it would be absolutely amazing. I hope they don't cheap out in the DPPt remakes.
I h8 that crap, its almost never available here in Norway.
I know
Instead of doing Game/GameStop/whatever distributions they should start doing distributions over Pokemon Home. It is a free app available to everyone who own a smart phone and switch (let’s face it, most people have a smart phone and every Pokemon fan has a switch), easy to use, very accessible, and most importantly available worldwide. It doesn’t matter if you’re from Norway, Japan or even the Sahara Desert, as long as you have a switch account and the app you can get the mythicals.
The only thing that I can see stopping them is the worry that people will farm them, get hundreds but let’s be honest- with the switch if you go to every shop in your town that offers the event (for me there is about 10-12 Game stores) you can get tons of the mythicals easier, since you don’t need to spend hours making and syncing several email accounts.
@@PansyPops they should do events by making mythicals a rare chance in pokemon go raids and after defeat you get a code for it in the games, or you can transfer through home.
Imagine India😒
@@OnlyGrafting that can be an issue though. Most people will argue that there is a big paywall there, since most people (myself included) don’t have any gyms within walking distance of their house, and don’t have active players in their area. Though using raids would be a good idea, there would be some backlash from the community because people will have to:
1) wait for a raid to appear.
2) wait for the egg to hatch.
3) beat the raid.
4) be lucky enough to get the code.
Assuming it’s a 1/100 chance to actually get the chance to get a mythical, it would take 100 days (statistically) for free to play players to get 1 mythical, or about 3.65 per year (assuming they do 1 raid daily). The richest players and people who play for a living (imagine Mystic7, UnlistedLeaf, maybe aDrive) will be able to get code, after code ,after code, while everyone who don’t have active players in their area will struggle to beat the raids, and even access a single raid. Utilising the existing Pokemon Go raid system is a brilliant idea, there are several issues for the casual PoGo players.
I really hope in gen 4 remakes that they do the events for the mythicals like they had them in the original game and maybe finally release the arceus one
I remember that back in the 1990's I went to Toys R Us were they did a special promo where they traded you Mew into your game.
I really liked the Shiny Zeraora event by completing a challenge of the 1 million trainer Zeraora event it made you work for Shiny Zeraora and earn it. Please have more events like this in the future.
Yeah
I felt like a part of getting everyone a shiny mythical
Except you still got zeraora without doing any raids
Except for the fact you need to have Pokemon Home...
@@swwetsour7697 pokemon home is free though ya numbskull
I literally had to buy a dex of someone to get those mythical, cos the events almost never get distributed wildly or publicised well here in Ireland 😢
Yeah it annoying i had to be on forums to get my marshadow but then they took away from me when i put it into pokemon home
The Crown Tundra could have been a great opportunity to have all the Mythical Pokemon available in one place. They already had all the Legendaries in Dynamax Adventures, why couldn’t they do that with all the Mythicals too?
It would be really cool for me because the events from sm usum down i didn't get. But for the people who did get the events and traded it to swsh might be annoyed. But idk because I didn't get the events soooooooooo
If every mythical pokemon was normally obtainable in the game, what would be the point of being mythical? Keldeo is already worthless from a collection standpoint (unless someone really cares about the ID#) just because they made him easily obtainable within the game.
@@Gatchu137 What developers could have done is just make the mythicals way harder to catch. Like even if all mythicals were obtainable in game they could make the mythicals at a 0.0001% catch rate and only hidden in the grass. Like an encounter rate of 0.0003% would make them extremely hard to find in game and would keep them legendary. Maybe they can only show up after you do every single quest imaginable in game + the pokedex+ every quest in the expansion + that pokedex+ 4/5 of the national pokédex completed. Put random puzzles all over the map that all have to be completed by the end of the game. Then at least you can feel accomplished.
@@selena9887 No. You're still thinking of completely different scales of rarity.
Being locked behind a secret task that's pretty difficult to accomplish? That was Spiritomb in Gen 4.
Having a 1% catch rate? I think a few legendaries are already about that hard anyway, and roaming legendaries appearing in grass have been a thing for over a decade.
There are regular pokemon with less than a 3% encounter rate in most games. I think if you want the Gen 7 monkeys in SwSh, they're like a 5% encounter rate in grass only, and that takes like 20 minutes. Feebas and Munchlax were limited to specific tiles back in Platinum, but people still got them.
You could make it so that Victini is only obtainable as a wild encounter after completing the SwSh pokedex, can only be found in the grass as a 1% encounter rate, with a 1% catch rate, and the ability to run away. Completing the pokedex aside, that would MAYBE be like 2-3 hours of grinding.
There is absolutely nothing that Gamefreak could do to make the mythicals obtainable in game, without compromising their rarity. Grinding for 3 hours doesn't hold a candle to waiting 6 years for a limited time event.
Edit: I don't know why you went back and edited everything from "1% encounter rate" to ".000001% encounter rate".
I think they should’ve put in diancie, volcanion, jirachi, maybe marshadow, Victini and darkrai
Hi Austin, I was rewatching this video on Christmas and the ironic thing is that with the recent Zarude email distribution, I still have a completed Living Pokedex organized on Home. There were a few pitfalls caused by Pokemon Home such as not paying attention to which box I sent trades from, but after an extra hour of work I have my Living Pokedex. It has been a pain over the years since the Box was a thing with the 3ds. I religiously did all the months for the 20th anniversary just to make sure I did it. I am eager to see what is planned for the 25th Anniversary. Thank you for being awesome and for all your Pokemon videos.
Austin: Trying to complete a living dex is nearly impossible.
Me: I know the feeling it’s sad, No. 893 is non-released in my country.
I signed up to the Irish Gamestop newsletter for zarude. Now just waiting for the code.
I’m still salty that my Darkrai I took from Y is just sitting in Pokémon Home. I would absolutely love to take him for a stroll around the Isle or Armor and Crown Tundra. Great points as always, I do hope the 25th anniversary has something special in store.
U can get darkrai in X and Y?
Wait, you can't even bring a legit Darkrai from Y to SwSh? I thought the restriction was just for PoGo 'mons. That's garbage, my dude.
I got my Darkrai from ORAS but that was trading for it
@@mumbleblade You can't bring Pokemon that aren't in the game into Sword and Shield. Darkrai isn't coded into the game, so it can't be brought.
You and me both :(
Shaymin was a really depressing absentee for me for ages :(
Meloetta is my favourite pokemon and the fact I can't have it in sword and shield upsets me so much T-T
I hope we get them next year lmaoo
Even though a lot of people hate it I’d say it’s a decent Pokémon I mean it’s better then hoopa am I right
“Mytical Pokémon, suck”
Me: *raging over victini*
Edit:
Austin John: “mythical Pokémon su-“
Arcues: *giorno’s theme*
I may be able to help >.>
Do you like Victini or dislike it I can't tell
I'm still trying to find out if my Victini that knows V-Create in Pokemon GO will still know V-Create when I transfer it to home
@@amccombs42 It probably will, but if it doesn't you can use the move relearner
@@sebastianpong1693 that's fantastic! Thank you
I hope, that the Pokémon company did the raids. Where we all have to battle them first and been given it for free xD
it was amazing to partner up with people on the net to fight Zeraora, that was a sweet experience seeing how many people banded together for a shiny mythical
I’ve been wanting to watch content from this channel for a while that wasn’t just some sort of walkthrough. I totally appreciate and love what Austin does with all his research and I take his opinion with seriousness. I’m glad to see different content like this on the channel.
Will there be methods in buying a code for the genesect and volcanion event in japan if you live else where? and is it jus a code like celebi and zarude or is it like a point based system? if so is it possible for me to get ir in europe if anyone knows of anyone
I've been playing since Gen 1, as a kid and recently found out that mythicals are just rarer legendaries. 🤦🏽♂️
and weaker usually
Zarude's stats are abysmal
@@keifujitora6587 but zarude is amazing for hyper offense team
@@keifujitora6587 and it stat spread is good
@@keifujitora6587 Could’ve had a much, much worse stat spread. What’s really ass is its ability
@@beanburrito4405 I know right

I remember when I was a kid and had to use the wifi in Mcdonalds to go and get Darkrai for diamond and pearl

You have an awesome collection man! I’m new to this channel, not sure if you’ve showcased it already. If not, you def should!
2:38 min , I never knew the god(Arceus) of the Pokemon was a mythical Pokemon instead of being legendary
Yeah it was extremely hard to get when it first came out. If you didn't have friends to trade with, it was basically impossible to get
It sorta makes(in a figure of sense) sense for example humans today believe in God and some thing he's a myth aka a mythical being
I remember getting mine through the Dream World. Idk how I even found out about. I still have him too. He's just chilling in Home.
In gen 4 I think it was event for hgss but platinum only with hacking to get azure flute
“DS Action Reply” that’s a deep cut
I still have my DSI action replay
or you could just hack your 3ds 4free and get the same end results. without wasting money
I am really happy to hear you write out your videos.
Also to get Infinite Mews, you use Pokemon Red/Blue on Virtual Console and do the Nugget Bridge Glitch and Transfer the ones you catch to Pokemon Bank.
@ John Plays I'm glad you bring up the issue of certain stores not being in certain countries, like my country doesn't have any of those stores so I can never get those codes and it annoys me endlessly as well as that my country doesn't support pokemon home for my phone meaning that every distribution via that I cant get, I even checked with some people in Korea and they cant get pokemon home on their phones either. This was highly frustrating when I wanted to get the shiny zeraora that fought in the raids to reach the 1 mil challenge and then couldn't even get my prize. These are really big issues that Nintendo needs to address.
Pokémon Go is how I'm building up my mythical collection especially now that they can be transferred to Home
Honestly seeing that Mew card was a bit nostalgic, I loved getting them.
I still have my diance and darkrai cares in my game boxes.
Same
Yeah I liked those distribution cards. I saved quite a few of those.
Genesect is arguably one of my favorites and I was lucky enough that someone in a FB group I'm in gave me a SHINY Genesect from GO from the raids. All he wanted was my regular Groudon. Low-key still feel like I ripped him off even tho it's what he wanted. So I threw a masterball on the groudon as well. This community can be truly incredible. It's truly a shame how hard some of the mythical are to acquire tho
I feel like all mythicals should be able to be transferred into the game, since they’re so hard to obtain after the events, you should be able to use them
I think that the raid system was super good. What would be cool is like what we did with spiritomb and we had to do a certain amount of things. Like, rematch a gym leader and it shows up in your mystery gifts
I am done with the whole Home Pokédex except for the mythicals :(
:(
same I live in Middle East good luck finding all mythicals
sucks man, I have a good few of them on pokemon go that i’ve just been able to send over because they lowered the level for home compatibility on Go
Hey if you guys have 3ds I can help, discord salvador#3512
i'm only missing ONE mythical and that's meloetta. sucks how there's essentially no way to get her anymore
In Cyprus is way difficult to get this kind of events. Darkrai, Arceus, Shaymin, Mellotetta, Genesect, Hoopa, Volcanion, Diancie, Marshadow are the only ones we can never get legitimately. At least we managed to get Zeraora, a shiny one too
Austin I have a question if you don't mind me answering. I'm from the Philippines and I'm planning to buy a pokemon sword or shield game. In our country is it still possible to catch or get a mythical pokemon save for mew since we can just buy a poke ball plus but yeah that's my question. Is it still possible for me to get the mythical or Legendary pokemon even though I'm already behind a year to play...?
I remember the McDonalds Hoopa giveaway being a fiasco. I went into one of the McDonalds and the employees had no idea what I was talking about and kept thinking I wanted the physical Hoopa toy. I waited around and finally realized I connected to the McDonalds WiFi and then got on the browser and got past the login prompt, then go back to the game and use Mystery Gift. The Employees and even the Manager had no idea what I was talking about and neither McDonalds or The Pokemon Company had any "specific" instructions on how to do it on their event sites. I managed to get my Hoopa but I bet a lot of other people didn't, especially kids.
I think I was pretty young at the time. Me and my 2 brothers had to talk our mom into going to mcdonalds during the event period. We just sat inside waiting for the crummy internet to connect and eventually we got hoopa. Only took us 20 minutes lol
Fun fact, you were able to get the Hoopa without even going to McDonald’s. If you had a hotspot or an android phone you could just name your hotspot to “Free McDonald’s wifi,” or whatever McDonald’s wifi was named, and set the security to no password and connect your 3DS to it and the game would think you were at McDonald’s. That’s how I got my Hoopa lol
Ah, Yes. Hoopa. I remember having to figure that out as well
Filling out my living dex, just missing about 11 pokemon so I'm close and waiting for these mythical event pokemon. I bought the pokeball plus, I got pokemon crystal and oras. I am so close. I really do hope they make em available legitimately. Great video thanks Austin.
Who are you missing?
Thought this would help but you don't need mythical pokemon to complete the dex. If you want them that's fine, but they aren't needed.
I remember almost 15 years ago going to the Nintendo Store in Rockefeller Center to get pokemon distributions. 4 years ago when they did the mythical distribution I made sure to go to gamestop every month to get the scratch off cards, but I didnt realize they had expiration dates and when I got around to trying to put all the codes in only about half of them still worked, I was so bummed. What was the point of making those codes expire?
I like the magearna one because it will always be available. I hope they do more of those so that even if they close down a server, people can still get their mythical.
Though this does bring up an unrelated concern of mine. If Pokemon Bank eventually closes down, are all the pokemon before gen 8 permanently locked in their game with no way of transfer?
I remember trying to get a Genesect back in gen 5, but since I was small I didn't know it was a limited time event. I went sad that day, but I finally got one back in 2016 :D
I was the same with volcanion, Diancie and hoopa, I stopped playing x and y due to Pokédex completion, so when I finally needed them for home took ages for me to find them!!!
Is the mew glitch not official? I mean it seems more than a coincidence that teleporting and stuff at cerulean city encounters with a level 7 mew.
No... sadly...
The main issue with that glitch is that the game does not allow the mew that you catch to be transferred over to Pokemon Bank, and then to Home. You have to go further into more glitches to manipulate the data for the Mew such that it belongs to the right owner, GF, in order to allow the game to recognize it as the event mew, thus allowing it to be transferred.
@@teronius9444 ahhhh that is interesting. Didnt know this since I came back i to shield from silver haha
With having Pokemon Home finally being the cloud service we need, they should run tough weekly challenges in the current games to get rare Pokemon. This would keep giving us weekly things to do in Sword/Shield and keep those games giving us more.
I agree with you so much. I remember all these different promotions. And between gens I tended to lose interest and sell my games. So I lost those Mythicals. But now with Sword and Shield on the Switch, and GO and HOME , I have gotten more interested in it again. So much so that I'm trying to make a living dex for the first time since R/B/Y. And looking at it, I am going to be missing so many of these Mythicals. So heres to hope for the anniversary next year. On a side note, your Majora's Mask is freaking me out because when you do those quick cuts the eyes change and I SWEAR its is looking at me and blinking.
6:31 I actually have a Arceus code I never used from that event lmaoooo
Cool
Does it still work?
@@mr_boskusman it’s expired by now
@@mr_boskusman no it expired
@@Smiles-RUclips oh ok
I've missed the Volcanion event.
But the thing is that event happened so late no wonder I've missed it. And at that time I could also never experience how it would play like.
I think the volcanion event was from the pokemon trainer club news letter that gave you a code i miss that one as well its the only mythical im missing atm
I wonder how this changes now that we've got Pokemon Arceus? Arceus, Shaymin, Darkrai, Phine are all there for the taking. I really hope that this becomes the new pattern.
Hello, I have a question that I don't know if Im not looking at the right videos or something to find the answer, but, I was traded a shiny regieleki that Im suspicious of it being a hacked mon. If I put it into Pokemon Home for my living dex, will it flag my account, not let me use GTS or Wonderbox Rooms, anything like that? Or is it a strictly "just don't use it for competitive" but otherwise good to go kind of thing?
It's just don't use it for competitive. Nothing will happen. If it's hacked then pokemon home would auto delete the Pokemon. I had Pokemon home delete my shiny Shaymin but besides that nothing else happened
@@Xenomorph-hb4zf thank you!
Darkrai is one of my favorite pokemon of all time. I had both of the event versions from the diamond/pearl/platinum days. (The one you had to catch and the one in a cherish ball for the movie). Fast forward 5-6 years, I never thought I would truly get invested into pokemon again so I reset my game to replay it and lost all my mythicals including Celebi, Mew, Arceus, and I'm sure more that I can't remember. Really is my own fault, but I'm pretty disappointed I did and I wish I was able to catch them again.
if you're missing a darkrai and still need/want one, I can transfer one from pogo for you
@@brownketch I appreciate the offer man but I'm all good. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe Darkrai can even be transferred to Sword and Shield. With Sinnoh remakes being rumored for 2021, I'm sure the Mythicals from that region will be obtainable again (at least I hope).
@@jeffreystangojr they can. I moved 4 from go including 2 shiny from alts home that I traded to mains home. it was a pain but done. but they can't go to sword or shield
Ever since watching Clash of Ages, my daughter’s favorite Pokémon has been Hoopa, and she’s been upset for a while now that she can’t get one. I totally agree with everything in this vid!
I can maybe help you out.
I can give you one in pokemon usum
Thanks for the offers, but it not really going to be worth the effort until they bring it to Sword and Shield (or a future switch game), since that’s what she wants it for.
@@jwareplays Well that would be more of a SwSh issue than a mythical pokemon issue, then
where did you get your majoras mask lamp and travelers shield?
Charizard and Blastiose are legendary confirmed they're on the box
Guys don’t forget Zarude is “available” right now. AustinJohn already did a video on this. Ends in less then a week (at the time of this comment I think it’s the 20th). Then in December you’ll be emailed a code.
Zarude is one of the mythic Pokemon that I just don't care if I have it ir not. He looks weird, like a monkey Zeraora.
The newsletter?
Hopefully. I personally haven't had a newsletter from Pokemon in a very long time, not counting the GO events and announcements.
going to gamestop is too much to get a pokemon
@@ismael8391 That-Zarude... I’m sorry.😔
I remember I got every single one of those cards, but my "friend" deleted my save file
Better deleted him/her
on purpose? doesn’t sound like a friend to me!
delete him
wait someone correct me if im wrong but dont you have to be level 40 in pokemon go to unlock the ability to transfer to home? im only like lv 30 so i thought i wasnt going to be able to do it and get gmax melmetal
I am at 806 now. Did the Pokémon ranch thing to get Mew, but I have like 4 Mews now from Pokéball and stuff like that. I am missing Shaymin, guess I am getting victini from Pogo, Hoopa and Diance will be hard to get a hold of. I was very lucky to trade a few with my very good friends, and I had a few from back in the days. I will not be hacking, so it is a long journey. Do you know if you need all the mythical ones to get shiny Magerna?
