I must also clarify that you will want to ev train your pangoro to have over 198 speed! This will allow it to outspeed sinistea after weak armor activated allowing you to re taunt it, if taunt wears off!
I’ve just been using a Prankster Grimmsnarl with Trick TWave Taunt and Throat Chop holding a Sticky Barb so when I find the shiny I can lower the HP relatively safely.
Here’s my take on this. The triple spawn idea is great in theory but finding those 2nd and 3rd authentics may take multiple times longer than the 1st one you found. I actually found a shiny phony Sinistea 2 hours into searching for the 2nd antique spawn so I decided to give up and just hunt the single spawn. I am confident I could easily find an antique shiny in my single spawn in the time I would use up setting up the 2nd and 3rd spawns. I hope this makes sense. But amazing information, thanks for this as it helped me a lot!
I understand where you’re coming from! In the end, it’s all just rng. I typically like to put more time into the setup just to have the hunt be quicker. It worked out for me as I went over 5000 encounters for the authentic sinostea to be shiny! If you get the sinistea shiny quick though it definitely wouldn’t be worth it to spend more time on the setup!
@@ThedomiNATION Man I just eanted to reply to your comment and say thank you so much for this video. I ended up setting up 2 additional spawns afterall, which took me 24 hours and then I found the shiny antique Sinistea within 3 hours! I had a Pangoro handy to Taunt and False Swipe so I can catch it in a Love Ball but it failed, so I immediately threw a Masterball before it could use Memento. All in all it took about 1,000 encounters within 11 days on SwSh(with shiny charm) after 100 wasted hours in SV, with shiny charm too. Glad it's over and couldn't be happier :)
I'm now shiny hunting for authentic sinistea. Thanks for the tips. I already got a forgery one on 76 tries. Hopefully soon ill have my authentic one. And nice hat do you sell those? Because I would love to get one
You can also just use your own polteagiest. it can learn shadow ball for damage, and imprison and memento as well. You would still have to soft reset after the shadow ball PP runs out though if you get insanely lucky enough to chain it that far.
That’s a good strategy! But for me specially I wanted to catch the shiny authentic sinistea in a safari ball which are extremely hard to obtain in these games and I only had one shot so I needed something that could weaken it and then put it to sleep so I could guarantee it’s catch in a safari ball!
@@ThedomiNATION Since you did catch your shiny authentic sinistea now, I did wonder if it was a good idea to even try to use false swipe when the area is prone to hailing. Also, I am wondering, does every sinistea you encounter after the first one always be authentic? or if it isn't, does the game still keep spawning authentic ones after you KO a phony one in a chain?
@@goldmemberpb I made sure it wasn’t hailing when I would hunt for that reason. Also no matter what Pokémon spawns in, the Pokémon you KO has a 50% chance of spawning next. So if a phony spawns instead of an authentic and you don’t know and KO it, next spawn will likely be another phony and will almost never be authentic
I use this site for gen 8 pokemon: www.wikidex.net/wiki/Categor%C3%ADa:Sprites_animados_variocolores_de_Pok%C3%A9mon_Espada_y_Pok%C3%A9mon_Escudo for older gen mons, I use the furret turret sprites but I don't think they are available anymore unfortunately
Nope you don’t have to KO 500 sinistea! In fact, it was recently proven that KOing 500 of a certain Pokémon only increases the shiny chances if the Pokémon is a brilliant Pokémon. And paired with the encounter rate of brilliant Pokémon, your best odds would be to KO 100 Pokémon then only encounter the brilliant ones that spawn in! But either way, that’s not a viable for this particular hunt!
But I think you said that K.O a pkm will boost the spamming rate of it to 50%, so when shiny hunting some pkm with low or decent spamming rate like sinistea, better still K.O them to get more sinistea in the same area, which will also lead to higher chance of getting brilliant pkm
@@trunghoang362 because this method is drastically different than traditional overworld encounters. There’s really no point. Yes you’ll have the higher chance of a brilliant with the shiny rate but that encounter method is only worth it if you avoid all other Pokémon and only encounter the brilliant ones. That is just not viable using the method as you’ll just keep getting phony sinistea
Nope. For every overworld spawn, as soon as the Pokémon loads in, it’s fully generated already including shiny value. This is why when people hunt strong spawns, they start out of range of the Pokémon
@@ThedomiNATION Thanks for the kind reply at my noob question xD Anyway, with this method I found Phonie one and now I'm in front an authentic one again. Saved the game and doing the method, but... when a new Sinistea spawn I need to check if it's a phonie or authentic one? 'Cause if I just KO without check and it's a phonie, the next spawns are mostly phonie right? I don't know if I made myself clear xD
@@VictorSHZ after doing about 3000 encounters of this I’ve come to learn that it’s not worth checking if they’re phony. Just assume it’ll be authentic as it’s more likely to be authentic anyway. Worst comes to worst and you phase once with a phony and get it the next time!
Even doing this, it’s still a 9.5% chance phony spawns in and since there’s no way to check it in the overworld, if you KO it then every sinistea that spawns in after will be nearly guaranteed to be phony. So still lots of people phase with phonies while doing this. But you’re very likely to get the authentic next phase!
hi so i know literally nothing about pokemon but my partner loves sinistea and i saw that you made the sinistea hat, do you by any chance have a pattern of some sort if you sewed it? i want to make something similar for them :D and if you didnt sew it, how did you make it? its super cool
I made it out of eva foam! I do not have a pattern. The only pattern I used was a basic dome pattern used for hats and then just went from there to get the shape of the sinistea
is this a cool bragging right: my very 1st pokemon camp wandering pokemon is a marked authentic sinestea. is that worth bragging? or is it not that impressive?
That is not how KOing 500 Pokémon works. I do have a video on my channel where I get a shiny Gossifleur using that method the correct way and I explain exactly how that shiny hunting method works but the short version is that KOing 500 of a Pokémon species only increases the shiny odds of the brilliant Pokémon that spawn in of that species
Anyone else feel like the "50%" chance of the same think respawning is no where close to 50% or is that just me? I tried applying some of the tricks from this to hunting galar farfetch'd and I feel like the 50% chance fails way more often than it succeeds
Sometimes you can get pretty lucky or unlucky doing it. When I was hunting for the sinistea, I sometimes had to do 2-3 resets without getting any encounters and sometimes I would get 9 sinistea in a row
@@ThedomiNATION thanks for the reply. ill keep at it . although i haven't reset the game once i've just been ko'ing every sinestea i see. i saw you got a phonie one in 121 encounters was that from resetting or was that 121 encounters back to back? subscribed
@@marcusfreeman4954 the phony ones I got were just from encountering new ones that spawned in and I didn’t reset the game. If you want the highest chance at an authentic though you’ll want to follow this guide there’s also a part one that goes more in depth. Also if you ko every sinistea without knowing if they’re phony or authentic you’ll just increase your chances at getting a shiny phony and make it nearly impossible to get a shiny authentic
I know Im Late to the party, but once you find an authentic sinistea to KO, does the weather condition matter from that point on, or does it only matter when trying to find the initial authentic sinistea?
It matters slightly. KOing the authentic doesn’t make the next spawn guaranteed to be authentic. It makes the next spawn a 50.5% chance to be authentic sinistea. The rest of the 49.5% of spawns are the regular Pokémon spawns at half the original spawn rate. Phony sinistea has a slightly higher spawn rate in foggy and snowstorm weather so there will be a slightly higher chance of a phony spawning instead of authentic which would then cause you to get more phonies upon KOing it
@@ThedomiNATION yeah! I want to catch It one too! But seems like a REALLY REALLY HARD ODYSSEY!! That's why i watch your videos. But i wish you good luck 🙂
You could do that! But when you walk far enough away from an overworld spawn there’s a chance it can despawn and you wouldn’t want it to despawn and spawn in a phony sinistea and have you chain a phony instead
This isn’t outdated at all. Brilliant Pokémon work completely different from this method and this will always be the best method for finding shiny authentic sinistea. Yes brilliant sinistea will have a higher shiny chance but the odds of you only getting brilliant authentic sinistea to spawn are extremely low so I would not recommend that if you want a shiny authentic

As far as I know they stay forever until you encounter them, or until you walk far enough away from them!

I’m not sure what the odds of getting an authentic sinistea from Pokémon camp is so probably!
It’d probably be best to not worry with all of this until you have 500+ sinistea kills right? To maximise shiny odds per sinistea encountered.
