576 - My Pokemon Shield Badge Quest "Movie"

Just in time before Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl's release, here's a little project I've been working on: doing a full Badge Quest in Pokemon Shield looking for 8 shinies!

[@ethanartell9504]

Matt I was wondering, if you could, would you shiny hunt through Pokemon Camp? Since I saw someone get a shiny Kingler from it.

i’m deeply pleased with the fact that the pokemon community has collectively declared something “bingusing”

44:54 wait, i had 0 idea this Crawdaunt was a one time spawn! I was shiny hunting Charmander through masuda with my 3 year old brother who liked to help me hatch them, he wandered into the Turrfield river and I watched him encounter a Shiny Crawdaunt. I caught it and was flipping out because he got a shiny that wasn’t even the target from a Masuda hunt. Crazy that its a one time encounter too, glad it was shiny now.

[@FatalHog]

Yeah, younger brothers for whatever reason have insane shiny odds, mine caught a shiny araquinid with a adamant nature and square sparkles, suffice to say, called that pokemon millionare with those kinds of odds (oh and he had just enough badges to catch it, just barely).

[@McLumy]

@@FatalHog im pretty sure mons that are too high level to be caught are shinylocked, but I heard that a while ago and idk if its true. Thats still crazy though

So happy I have this to watch on a nice Saturday morning, reminds me of waking up as a kid to watch the Pokémon anime. Thanks for this Matt

[@LeafsLegend]

Exactly what I was thinking, you rock Matt!

[@ShyGuy2005]

I miss that feeling, too

[@Twinklethefox9022]

Yeah. I miss waking up on Saturday mornings and watching cartoons with homemade pancakes and eggs that my dad made for me.

[@alaskaroller2192]

Ahh I was wondering when you were gonna do a shiny hunt in the third gym! Fun fact, I did my first nuzlocke in Shield, and me and a friend were discussing which of the three in the gym I should catch for that areas encounter. We settled on Litwick, and as I moved to go get it, I clipped the Sizzilapede. And as I was complaining about being a klutz, the little guy popped little sparkles! One encounter in a location we didn’t know had shinies lol. Definitely a cool place to have a shiny.

[@somegamer7268]

Congrats on the badge quest, Triangle!

[@user-rg4jt4sq9k]

Who's Triangle

[@mushy4128]

My heart goes out to all people who will never experience Matt finding an 8th gen shiny on an sp. May they hopefully experience greatness one day.

[@TheForgottenTainted]

I want to do that on my own gameboy advance. Don't have the games yet though. Crossing my fingers to get it for Christmas. I don't wamt the gen 4 remakes because while gen 4 is classic, I want to obtain lots of legendarys. Sword and Shield are perfect for that :)

[@kelly_times]

"On rainy days like these, humans were made to play video games." As someone who is currently shiny hunting while it's raining outside, I can confirm that this statement checks out.

[@FZanix]

As someone from Oklahoma, I can say that oyster bowling is a huge part of our culture.

[@slncbrkr]

Ok ok I started the same shiny Crawdaunt hunt you did literally like 5 minutes ago, did 2 soft resets and got the shiny! I over react to shinies A LOT but never have i been scared sh**less from a shiny quite like this big BOI! Thank you for inspiring me to do this hunt! 😭🤩

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

grats!!!!

[@Bloons22]

This BQ has got to have the most amount of weird and different ways of hunting shiny pokemon, as well as the most amount of devices displaying a switch screen in history! Very fun movie!

[@Skid037]

Okay, so I'm glad I finally got to find out other tellings of "The Bingus Zone" because when I was doing my Fomantis shiny hunt in the training lowlands I got bingused to fields of honor, and I had no idea what happened but I got a video saved of it BTW: I did find the shiny Fomantis (on my birthday) after 2138 encounters and a phased shiny blipbug

[@brandonj6874]

I get so hyped when you release your movies. I look forward to them. I believe everyone who watches appreciates your dedication to making them. It’s crazy you started this almost a year ago. One of the best Poketubers out there. Keep up the great content.

[@lololo292691]

Playing 5 games and watching a movie. You are the multi-task master.

[@mrwaffleman8732]

I love how you made each hunt unique in some way. Really great dedication put into all these videos

[@mkcstealth7624]

Not only does this make me want to do a badge quest, this makes me wanna go back and play Super Mario Sunshine Also, seeing Gen 8 on a Gameboy Advance SP is honestly hella cool to see.

[@Twinklethefox9022]

Thank you for saying that about shines. I've heard so many times that shines lost their value because they are easier to obtain. I've had trouble getting shines so hearing someone say that they are worthless makes me a bit mad. And I didn't know you could find shines in the gym if I knew, I would have tried to get a shiny vulpix Finally, it's great how you do different methods of hunting for your shines. I might go back on shield for a my shiny Nikit/theivul hunt. It has a beautiful shiny and it's one of my most favorite galar pokemon. I recently got a shiny sinistea for Halloween though which was cool.

[@McLumy]

Super glad you named the Throh Obscure Obtainment Boy

[@GwenTheLitten]

I started a shield badge quest, but I haven't found any shinies yet. I'm not even completely set up yet. My first hunt will be kyogre, but I need to find it in dynamax adventures first. Also, I've been waiting for this video for so long. I've been waiting for this since you mentioned it in a shiny video.

Yo! New absol video. Matt is a rare case of a KZbin who’s content consistently gets better as he goes on . In fact I’m inspired to make something of vlog when legends comes out, because of these videos.

[@Gcrilla]

This is honestly something my mental health has greatly needed. I love these movies Edit: I'm glad you've been able to make so many movies. I really hope as you progress, you can start making even more.

[@Thebetterrobo]

Thank you for showing me inverted mode, I’ve been exploring all my games in it and it is very fun

[@mistahjenkins4826]

Gotta admit, the idea of a Badge Quest is always interesting! Plus, it was quite informative about the different sparkling effects on Shinies. I've seen both, and I was wondering what was up with them myself, but now that I know what's what, I know what to expect once I actually get the darned games.

[@mistahjenkins4826]

Hi! I'm from the future~ So, I have the games now, and I gotta admit... It's weird to see the two different forms of shiny sparkles. Best example; I got a shiny Snom (now a Frosmoth) from a random encounter during my main playthrough (yes, she's on my main team) that has the squares, but I recently got a shiny Lanturn from DAs that has the stars!

[@hannahc3317]

​@@mistahjenkins4826That's lucky. The only time I got a shiny during a playthrough was Roselia in platinum

Commenting before I watch: I am so excited to see another badge quest movie, I’ve watched the others multiple times and I love having on content like this in the background while I draw. Thank you for making these videos and putting so much work in to it! Edit: another fun movie! looking forward to that authentic hunt 😉

Hey absol , nice to see your badge quest , I did one for Sword after you did your first badge quest. My team ended up as Coalossal , Sirfetched , Lanturn , Runerigus , Passimian , Grimsnarl , Perserrker , and Flapple, hope to see another quest for both of us with Gen 4 remakes - Buttermander ( Doing first nuzlocke soon )

[@neon855]

such a creative badge quest loved all the unconventional ways that you decided to hunt your shinies in this movie, seeing you hunt sinistea has reawakened me to go back and hunt it again on around phase 3 or 4 currently anyways best of luck for when you decide to go back for authentic meanwhile I will be attempting to get mine
