I really wish they would bring back the audible chime that Legends Arceus made when a shiny spawned. It was super helpful for those tough-to-spot shinies, especially now that we have mons that are small and decently hidden in the grass.
Same. I never owned a Legends Arceus game card, but i saw people find shinies in the game before and wish they had the overworld sparkles and noise in the gen 9 games as well. It would be so much easier to notice shinies
Yeah I loved that feature but apart from the ponyta and Pokémon I transferred in I hardly heard it despite having the shiny charm I've only caught like 7 shinys 😅 best highlights were getting a shiny shinx in the first hour of the game and then running into a shiny chimchar when going to the outbreak
I have colourblindness, I basically relied heavily on those cues to find my shinies- I don't even want to know how many I've missed because they removed the sparkles and chime :(
John, outbreaks of Sinistea and Polchageist were updated when the Teal Mask came out. There are outbreaks for both, if one Pokémon in that outbreak is authentic, they all are authentic and vice versa.
Honestly started losing it when you started talking about the polar caves in New Hampshire. You unlocked so many childhood memories of yearly trips going to the polar caves and the lemon squeeze and orange crush, haven’t thought about that place in well over a decade.
At 22:30 during the sinistea outbreak, the form of sinistea is locked to outbreak so if it’s an outbreak of phony forms it’ll only spawn phony and never an authentic meanwhile if the outbreak is of authentic it’ll only spawn authentic and never phony
Very late to this but I watched it super slow (like frame-by-frame) and the bush in front of Araquanid has red flowers, but the Araquanid itself isn't shiny
You actually just saved me a heap of time by mentioning litleo was only in the poke pelago in USUM. I have been working on my dex and didn't realize it. Thank you so much!
fun fact, Sinistea phony and authentic form have different outbreaks, so that Sinistea was guaranteed phony, for an authentic shiny, you'd first have to hunt down an authentic Sinistea outbreak
I have a theory that established shiny hunters have an internal enzyme in their body that makes finding shinies easier and easier as they collect more and more. Case in point - Johnstone. Also, anecdotally, my brother and I were hunting a beldum for my VGC team and I've only recently started hunting shinies. I came away with one. My brother, who's been hunting for several years now, came away with two, one of them were marked :/
My first shiny was a pidgey that i couldnt catch. I didnt get any more until Legends Arceus, but those were mostly outbreaks. So far ive gotten 2 random shinies in S/V, and a shiny Cyndaquil i hunted in HGSS
I got just over 60. I am trying for a full shiny living dex. It takes me hours on average to find one, even with all the methods. My sibling is not a hardcore hunter. They're basically a living shiny charm, having about the same amount of shinies as me, except a good majority just kinda happened, whereas most of mine were hunted. Max amount of shinies I've found after a day of hunting, 2. My sibling found 5 without trying the other day lmao. I may just be an outlier who should not be counted though idfk lol
Trust me that is not the case, in pokemon black i was doing a all shiny run and im hard stuck on a shiny water type. I have a total of 200 + shiny across all my games between gen 4 to 7
Late to the party because I wanted to finish the DLC before watching this, but loved this video!! Always a pleasure to watch you shiny hunt, and was very rewarding after many of your videos where you'd hunt hours for a single pokemon to see you get a whole bunch in 10 minutes in the middle there! Thanks as always for the effort to put this together!

the way i found a shiny sinistea was literally because i jumped over one of the area borders in the terrarium and landed ON a pink teacup. i was bewildered. i have almost a box full of shinies, despite never doing shiny hunting and never even using sandwiches. ive probably missed a lot. its still very special every time, though.

If you add in not poketubers specifically but game variety streamers there are videos like restart the game if you get hit challenges across various poketubers/youtubers and pikasprey yellow's soft-lock picking series.
The thing I love most about Johnstone os also the most irratating. He will do a challenge for 50 hours, edit it all and ONLY take the absolute peak highlights and it will still be a 30 minute video. So if he did shorter videos it would be more good content, but everyone knows that Johnstone is the best at quality over quantity. ❤️ u man
The milcery/floette/litwick outbreaks with the charms were insane. Found all 5 flowers and 7 milcery’s in one day. Hoping we have some more events like that for sure
My argument as someone who has shiny hunted for almost ten years now is that yes, shiny hunting is very easy these days, but I don't think it's "too easy", for new pokemon fans it makes them more accessible, and me personally and I know many other people, who have gone back to older games to shiny hunt for more of a challenge, for example I've done shiny playthroughs recently in pokemon white and pokemon platinum, pokemon ultra moon and Soulsilver, and I'm currently doing one in pokemon black 2
Funny story I heard you say the word "polar" and my brain immediately went to the Polar Caves 🤣 I hate living in NH but any time I hear someone "famous" mention it I'm like OMG I LIVE THERE!!!!!!!!!
10:05 Rotom was my first ever shiny. I was just casually playing Scarlet while completing my living dex and it just randomly spawned. I screamed so loudly cause I was so excited. I caught it and named it tangerine. It’s my beloved pokemon. Rotom holds a special place in my heart now.
21:45 obviously they need to add back the shiny sparkle and/or noise, but honestly more importantly to me, they need to make the pokemon overworld models all bigger. You honestly have to hold your eye three centimeters from the screen to see half the pokemon in the game, it's legitimately detrimental to my health
I remember hunting authentic sinistea in an outbreak and lost like 5 hours of hunting because I didn't know it had memento. Thankfully I got another one 15 mins later.
rellor was my first shiny in scarlet early in the playthrough! bug is my favorite type and when it evolved into a strong psychic type with a fantastic design and perfect shiny colors i was so happy!! 😭💕
Thank you for a wholesome video, John! I think you could hunt 100 faster in an 8,192 game, but I guess we won't know until you speedrun that some other time. 😂
It should be noted that outbreaks of a specific form will always be that specific form. So, for the sinistea outbreak, it would always be phony sinistea (though the area spawns sinistea naturally so there's always the chance you get a non-outbreak one there)
Could never be me. Four sandwiches for a shiny round boy. RNG and I are rivals. 😂 Seeing so many shinies filled me with hope! Also, super fun video, as always!
while watching this, i opened up my switch and just hopped around to a few outbreaks that were already up, no sandwich or whatever. the first one i went to was a spoink outbreak. there was a shiny spoink in the very first spawns i saw as i walked up.
youre so right about solosis, i outbreak hunted one and ended up respawning after 60kos for probably two hours before i looked at the sv model and went oh GOD i probably missed several. i thought it would be brighter!!!
From this point on, everyone should be using false swipe persion with switheroo ring target (to be able to hit ghost type Pokémon with Normal moves) and hypnosis/thunder wave
Two things: You can't evolve Exeggcute into Alolan Exeggutor in this game. IDK why its dumb. Sinistea (and Polteageist)'s Antique forms don't spawn in outbreaks that have Phony forms, and visaversa. You can isolate Antique forms by finding the right outbreak.
i mean, shinies being easier to find doesnt really detract from the value of a shiny mon in my opinion, just means that they are less full of stories, more grinded with grit.
Just a note for the future. With the sinistea and polchageist lines you can get outbreaks that are the authentic and artisan forms making the shiny hunts for them guaranteed. I had that happen to me where I found an outbreak that was unseen for me. Caught a polchageist and it was artisan form.
Your Minior catch was a lot like mine with Tandemaus. I saw an outbreak, ran over it, thought "this is going to be tricky," and literally the first one I auto battled was shiny! (If only I'd succeeded with Dratini outbreaks.)

Aaa. I didn’t realize this was Johnstone’s video. Omg. I would’ve clicked sooner! No offensive to who I thought it was lol.
Actually in outbreaks, all Pokémon will be one form, so authentic sinistea is not gonna be found in an outbreak, unless they’re all authentic
Friend: how did you get so buffed?
Me: I do one push up everytime Johnstone finds a shiny absurdly quick.
Friend: Jesus Christ...
Nintendo fixed the outbreaks to have both forms so you can find an outbreak of specifically authentic sinistea. Same for poltchageist.
i mean, shinies being easier to find doesnt really detract from the value of a shiny mon in my opinion, just means that they are less full of stories, more grinded with grit.
As someone who has hunted Shiny Popplio, I can attest, they are NOT easy to spot.
Just a note for the future.
With the sinistea and polchageist lines you can get outbreaks that are the authentic and artisan forms making the shiny hunts for them guaranteed.
I had that happen to me where I found an outbreak that was unseen for me. Caught a polchageist and it was artisan form.

If you dont catch the special pokemon in a special matching ball what is even the point! Glad you added a catagory for my obsession
