No, you can get shinies in gen 1, it's not based off colour but off of very certain IVs, and if a pokemon in gen 1 doesn't have exact stats it would have from the IVs it won't be Shiny, it's just almost impossible to notice a gen 1 shiny unless you trade it to gen 2

Manaphy was one of the few mythical Pokémon I obtained legitimately as a kid. My cousin and I would play together, he was essentially my real life ‘rival’ lol. Anyways when he found out I got a manaphy he wanted one too, so I tried breeding them (being kid me trying to breed mythics) and it actually worked.. only Phione came out. In the end we both got new pokemon

[@LimeLoaf]

Thats actually really sweet

[@zakkschmitt5610]

Manaphy is still the rarest but there is a better method to get a shiny Once the egg is obtained you need two copies of diamond or pearl Then you save the game hatch the egg see it's not shiny reset and send the egg over to the other game You basically reset the games until the manaphy is shiny because in order for it to be shiny its personality value has to match your save files secret id This is extremely tedious but better than buying A new game every time

[@shawngallagher8764]

I thought the contents of an egg were set in stone once you receive it. If you already have an egg and then save them no matter how many times you reset it’ll be the same?

[@ObeliskDemon]

@@shawngallagher8764 they said it rather confusing, but the manaphy egg is specifically not able to be shiny in game 1 (its coded to not match SID) so you trade to game 2. if it's not shiny, you soft reset and trade back to game 1, and erase the save file of game 2 and try again

[@msclarinet89]

Sonikks did this method, except he used 4 copies of DPP/8 Ranger. Sick video if you guys haven't checked it out. Probably the most painful part of this hunt is beating Ranger once, let alone 8 times lol

[@skeleton608]

If anyone here’s ever really going to try and shiny hunt an authentic Sinistea and you’re worried about it taking itself out with Memento, use Gardevoir. You can teach it Memento and Imprison to prevent Sinistea from using its own Memento and then paralyze it with Thunder Wave. Polteageist has Imprison, too, but not T Wave. While I’m at it, you could teach something like Azelf Imprison, Selfdestruct and/or Explosion and T Wave to stop something you want to catch from exploding.

When you think about it shiny spinda is basically an NFT - a digital object which is made exceedingly rare through artificial means and holds value only to those who have a specific interest/delusion.

[@raptorstryke92]

I hate this analogy, but at the same time I love it lmao

[@LRM12o8]

And although they are all unique, the thing that makes them unique is completely meaningless. Much like the Bored Apes NFTs all have different colors and accessories, but there's no rhyme or reason to any of them, they're just randomly determined with no thought put into it, the patterns of Spinda, too, are just randomly generated with no purpose or meaning to it, making none of the 8 billion different Spinda patterns stand out as special against the others. It's but a superficial illusion of individuality. No matter which Bored Ape NFT you're looking at, they're all really just the same basic image of an ape and no matter what pattern Spinda you get, it's just a Spinda.

[@houyo]

Not true, a Shiny spinda will always be valuable because people will always value pokemon.

[@mattmeade3272]

Doesn’t that make all Pokémon an NFT really? They’re all digital collectibles, and some have more exclusivity like Spinda’s because of the pattern differences

[@houyo]

@@mattmeade3272 No, because pokemon are not Non-Fungible. You can easily hack any kind of pokemon you want into existance. You can make exact copies of special event pokemon that only released two decades ago. But a pokemon can still have value despite this, completely devoid of block chain integration.

[@Kahadi]

Regarding the alternate shiny form for Charizard, it was almost certainly purple originally because of technical limitations. Because it was only 8-bit, they had a lot more limits on how things could look, namely a much smaller colour palette. When you look at gen 2 Charizard, you see that the orange is all the same shade and lighting was minimal, done by adding patches of white. But with gen 3, the GBA was 32-bit, and as such had a much larger colour palette. This meant that they could have more shades of colours, so Charizard in gen 3 had different shades of orange and used them for lighting effects instead of just white. So why does that explain it being purple? Well thanks to the limited palette, if they went with shiny Charizard being black, it would be nearly impossible to make out any real detail. It would mostly be a black blob, messing with outlines and lighting and shadows. As such, purple was often used as a replacement for black in a lot of things, giving a shadowy or night look to stuff, being darker than most available colours but light enough to make out details. It was a common placeholder or replacement for black. But with the expanded palettes of later games, they could actually make it black because they had different saturation levels for it and more grey options, letting them properly shade it, have outlines for definitions, etc. You can also see the inverse of this looking at Ghastly, Haunter, and Gengar. In gen 2, their normal sprites were black and purple. There's no real outlines in the black segments, but because the whole thing is meant to look darker, being ghosts, it works. And they can, because the whole thing is darker, use a mix of purple and black for shading (note that the purple is used for the lighter stuff around the edges, whereas with Charizard it would have to have been the smaller patches of shading in various inner areas). But when gen 3 comes and expands the palette, suddenly they're completely purple, just different shades of purple, with a darker purple body, lighter purple for shading, and a much lighter purple for the gas around Ghastly specifically. With purple and black being used together for shades of the same colours back in 8-bit games (and to a lesser extent, 16-bit as well), it's quite likely that shiny Charizard was intended as the same idea, a shadowy, darker Charizard, and purple was just technical limitations that they were able to overcome. Had the games had a 16-bit era instead of jumping from 8-bit to 32-bit (not even 16-bit side games or spin-offs, as we didn't get any of those until the N64), we probably would have seen more of a progression, with shiny Charizard becoming more a mix of black and purple before finally just black. The main reason I say "probably" is that such a thing doesn't explain the inside of the wings going from green to red. Aside from intentional design choice changes, I can't explain that part very well, I don't know of any technical limitations differences that would explain that...

[@H410M45T3R]

how did they make gengar and umbreon black though?

[@diildovah8399]

I feel like if it was their intention to make Charizard black in gen 2, they would have gone with a look similar to what they did with Sneasel in Crystal version. While Sneasel's color change in crystal wasn't straight black, it's this very dark blueish color which reads more as Black on the sprite a lot better than a vibrant purple color does.

That note about shiny Spinda is pretty interesting; I actually caught 3 shiny Spinda back in the RSE days, although I believe I did trade one of them away to a total stranger when the Pokémon Journey Across America tour came to Dallas in 2005 (ahh... the days when you had to trade in-person). To think about how unique they are is downright fascinating. I know the reason why I obtained multiple shiny Spinda was because I often found myself on Route 113 to EV train Special Attack, as Spinda yields 1 SpA EV, and Route 113 seems to be one of the easiest places to EV train SpA in RSE.

[@Evixyn]

This video has so many miss information about generation three coliseum shadow shines / shines hunt for legitimate means, especially since you mentioned the whole mew glitch and the American bonus disc. You can do the same thing with the Japanese bonus disc to obtain a shiny celebi that way also, it requires heavily more additional work since you have to complete the whole shadow post mission, plus since we are on the shadow Pokemon topic. Finding shadow Pokemon as shines is easy, you have to have five or less pokemon in your party, capture the shadow Pokemon and once it capture in the same battle just switch it out to see if it is shiny and if it is not shine just re-set the title. You can do this as early as the joto starters.

[@TDIdialgagirl]

Who's Miss Information?

[@t-dot1564]

Yeah this felt kind of click-baity. Far more informative videos out there with less fluff.

[@Theblkscarecrow]

I couldn't really understand your comment. However, yes, Shinies do exist in Pokemon Colosseum. (Note: All Shadow Pokemon in Pokemon XD are shiny locked. You can't obtain shadow Pokemon in XD.) That being said, it is in NO WAY easy. Yes, soft reseting is easy. Still, the odds are 1/8192. So by far, no way easy. Can't mislead people saying that.

[@spampharos]

Not only that, they were wrong in the way you can hunt Shiny Ranger Manaphy. Rather than needing to replay the entire game to get an attempt of finding the shiny, you can just start a new save file and trade it over, and hatch the same egg. This actually makes the hunt doable and is the reason some people actually own this elusive shiny.

[@MaxxTheLycanroc]

@@Theblkscarecrow I think the misinformation they are referring to in the Colosseum is losing the Shiny Form, people always keep saying that when you purify a Shadow Pokemon, it has a chance to lose its Shiny, which is not the case at all, and is a myth, the RNG Rolls are different and can cause a Pokemon to be Shiny from capture because the Shiny Value in the Pokemon matches your Trainers Shiny Value, what can happen is if you fail to catch the Shadow Pokemon the 1st time, the other trainer can have a Shiny Shadow Pokemon after then it can lose the shiny when you catch it, but people mistook it for is you try and purify a Shadow Shiny Pokemon, it can lose its Shiny

[@mariorivera7969]

While you can do the pomeg glitch for the warp you can also do the glitches for event items to access them at your leisure. Also even though the glitches in gen4 allow easy access (now after the early days of walking thousands of steps) to those pokemon you can also use the dns settings to access the event items and skip the risk to the game data

[@Lewcifer91]

I miss purple shiny Charizard. I have one on VC Crystal, which I got from breeding Charmander with a shiny Ditto. It's honestly pretty cool.

[@makkaroni07]

so the way to do it is: Get the shiny gyrados with a female Charmander and hatch eggs? and the chances is ONLY 1/64. that sounds too good

[@nilsonpetrin1882]

It's actually possible for you to catch a shiny pokémon in gen 1. The pokémon needs to have some specific status when you catch it, then you transfer it to generation 2

[@_WiZ420]

What do you mean by specific status? I thought it was based on IVs

[@TheMe9595]

It is based on the dvs which are the gen 1 version of ivs. So you can find Pokémon with specific ivs and know that they will be shiny when they are transferred.

[@PeriGreen776]

yes it's possible. The only reliable shiny hunts with this method you can do are the legendary birds since they're at a high enough level where you can look it up online to see if it'll be a shiny in gen 2. Forgot where I heard this

[@SgtByrd93]

Only really works with the birds and Mewtwo, you wouldn't attempt it reliably with wild Pokémon because they need to be over level 50 when you transfer them to gen 2, also the stats need to line up perfectly

[@Ocarinist_Drew]

Yes, it is based on thr Pokemon's DV's, which are the same in both Gens 1 and 2. So you CAN catch a Shiny in Gen 1, but the only way to *check* if it's Shiny would be to either send it over to a Gen 2 game or use a DV calculator. There's also a common misconception that sending a Shiny mon from Gen 2 to 1 will cause it to lose its shininess. Nope. It's DV's don't change, so it doesn't lose its shininess. As kids we all very well could have had a shiny on our team in RBY and had no idea.

[@garchompelago]

I got my shiny Celebi from the old event in Pokemon GO that promoted the Zarude movie then I transferred it to Pokemon Sword via Pokemon HOME. Also I was lucky enough to obtain Shiny Arceus in BDSP in just 3 weeks of soft resetting.

[@davelarouche1005]

[@ShinyHunterSandslash]

First they way you described how to hunt the manaphy is completely wrong, you can technically do it with one egg. Plus you don't soft reset for Mew, you do run away.

[@davose8756]

Also there was a shiny jirachi event in Japan long time ago

[@samuel-aka-contepic]

You were actually able to get shiny celebi in pokémon go for a limited time by completing a certain quest and you get an encounter with shiny celebi. This is also the same with new and jirachi.

[@BLZ-ok6rh]

there is an alternative for manaphy tho if you have two different copies of pokemon diamond or pearl you can hatch the egg and if its not shiny just soft reset and send it to other copy and continue the process until you get a shiny one

[@mrcx6142]

When I was young, there was always this story going around about a series of elaborate glitches that can get you a golden shiny Charizard. Of course it turned out not to be true in the end, but damn, we really tried - and preparation for that alleged glitch took several hours on cartridge.

[@NathanCotrill]

Jirachi hunt can be lowered to about 2 minute resets if after getting the bad jirachi you save and then instantly reset.

[@Theblkscarecrow]

I'm not going to be at your throat for this video, but I do need to clarify since this is missing some key pointers. (Since I am a shiny hunter). You CAN NOT shiny hunt Mew by soft resets IN EMERALD. You can only soft reset if you KNOW you have an early shiny frame. If you didn't know, Pokemon Emeralds Random Number Generator is broken (EVERY COPY OF EMERALD). The only possible way is doing runaways and hoping you hit your shiny frame. Shinies exist in Emerald, yes. HOWEVER. Your shiny frame is random and is set at a specific frame and can't change unless you advance the frames or reset your shiny frame by doing something specific in the game. TL:DR, Soft Reseting is not the correct way to shint hunt Mew. If you want more information, I'd watch videos on how to shiny hunt in Emerald. I will not shamelessly promote any channels. So, if you're want to find more info, go ahead and search how.

[@vitgerivaz]

There was actually a shiny Celebi event about a year ago on sword/shield. At this point, normal celebi is more rare than shiny. Normal one was given away if you signed up for pokebank on 3DS in the first 6 months, hasn't been distributed or made available since.

[@tony-_-doge]

Jarachi's shiny is available in Pokemon go and can be transferred to the man line games but do note u can't buy the ticket that u need anymore and it has a difficult time consuming challenge that can take about a year depending on how much time u have

[@darkbidoof]

Just a minor correction about Jirachi - whilst the distribution from the bonus disc included with Colosseum is limited to one claim per save after getting your starter Pokemon, the distribution included with Pokemon Channel in Europe was once per save after beating the Elite 4, so factoring that into account it was probably even rarer than you think.

[@imjustafangirl6468]

I shiny hunted Celibi sometime in 2019-2020 and got it within 3 days. Because of the Pokemon bank shutdown that's coming up I transferred it up and now it's sitting in home while occasionally going into sword and shield. It's a very special Pokemon to me and I'll never forget the day I got it

10: Never had a Shiny Charizard in Gen 2, but I have the means to try breeding for one in VC Crystal if I so desired. And I do have multiple Shinies in the Charmander line in Home, so I don't see myself attempting this. 9: I have this! I SR'd for it in VC Crystal, took the better part of the year, but I managed it nonetheless, and I'm damn glad I did it! 8: Did this hunt after Shaymin but before Darkrai. Took a couple of weeks, and I even caught it in a Heavy Ball. Also, fun fact, the Azure Flute is there in your room as early as the start of the game if you have the completed Legends: Arceus save data at that point. In my current Brilliant Diamond playthrough, I got my Azure Flute before my starter. 7: OK, you got me on this one. My Shiny Vespiquen are all from Legends: Arceus. 6: I have a Shiny Mew from the Masterwork research in GO, which I promptly sent into the main series. Never messed with the Pomeg Glitch, but it's something that intrigues me. 5: Haven't done a Shiny Shadow Pokémon hunt, but make no mistake, it's on my to-do list. 4: I've done the glitch, but never Shiny hunted through it. My Shiny Darkrai is from Shining Pearl, and it came not twelve hours after Shiny Arceus. 3: Yeah, no, I have not attempted this yet. I don't know that I will, but I haven't ruled it out, either. 2: This is an ongoing hunt of mine. Haven't got it yet, but it'll be mine someday! 1: Yep, saw this coming. Another ongoing hunt of mine. The copy of Ranger I ordered for this purpose came used instead of new like was advertised, but the previous owner never claimed the Manaphy Egg, which was all I cared about anyway. This one's been on the back burner for some time, but I'll get back into it, possibly after Jirachi.

Used copies of Pokémon Ranger were dirt cheap when I got back into Pokémon close the release of X and Y, since they were devalued by the Manaphy limitation. So I just deleted the save data with a slot 2 flashcart, and once I'd unlocked the Manaphy egg in the game went ahead and made a backup of the save before transferring. Had to do a lot of this kind of stuff to get a full pokédex of technically legit Pokémon.

[@dwagoo]

Something with shiny celebi and mew, is that they were available from special research in pokemon go and can therefore be transferred to pokemon home. The only issue is that these researches were limited time to obtain so they aren't possible anymore. There's also a high chance that shiny jirachi becomes available this way in 2023. As a side note, in pokemon go, mythical pokemon can not be traded meaning they're locked to an account and if you were to transfer it or send it to home, you are unable to get anyone without exploiting a patched bug.

[@keo549]

The mew is also incredibly painful to get You need to hit lvl 40 to even be able to get it if you got the event ticket, there's no way around it as one of the quests is "reach lvl 40" I'm still on the "catch a pokemon 30 days in a row" part because I live in the middle of nowhere and thus rarely have a reason to log in orz but I want to get my mew next year

Shiny Shadows DO NOT Lose the shine. I caught all 3. IDK how this is still circulating the internet, but that is serious misinformation.

[@TDAdvocate]

Manaphy eggs are not technically 1 and done. If you never used the egg from the cart then you can backup your save file and reload it onto the cart infinitely to keep bringing it back. You can also download a save file from online and place it on the cart to follow the same exploit. And I feel like this should have been mentioned considering you count the pomeg glitch for emerald to get shiny mew even though English mew is 100% illegitimate and not able to be moved into Pokémon Home due to it never being a real thing.

[@7GSC251]

0:45 Odd Egg in the Japanese version, and the virtual console on 3ds had a chance of hatching a charmander, and there was a 14% chance it would be shiny. Also, there are tools that e =xisted even a long time ago that backed up save files. Theres also now the everdrive, and flash carts. You also could read the stats of gen 1 pokemon to know if it was shiny beforehand. I'm not trying to be rude and fact check or nothing, I am just saying that it was entirely possible in many ways to get one. Also the arceus in gen 4 DPPT could be shiny hunted simply using the void glitch, which in many ways isn't even a glitch, just simply an oversight. Another neat thing about reading stats from earlier, is that if you use the simple glitch in gen 1 to encounter mew, that mew is able to be shiny. Theres only ever been 1 legit shiny mew known to exist in gen 1 and 2, but theres likely 2 or 3 due to people not transferring it to gen 2.

[@BaisuTCG]

Fun fact: I replayed my original version of Pokémon silver so many times back in the day. I was just on my way towards victory road for the thousandth time and when you surf down to get the rare candy, as I’m coming back I find a shiny tentacool. I’m not sure how old I was, maybe 9 or 10, so I was very confused when it spawned and it sparkled like that. I caught it and decided to use it at the elite four, I had to do a lot of grinding to get it up to level. That was first ever shiny in a game where the odds were so low, and what did I do after I finished it…..reset and start a new game 😢

[@MaxxTheLycanroc]

I wanna actually get that misconception out of the way When Shadow Pokemon show up the 1st time, they have the chance to show up as Shiny when you get them, because they will always have an TSV (Trainer Shiny Value) that can never be Shiny with the trainer who has it at the time, but can have a TSV that can match with the player character, after that 1st initial battle, the TSV gets randomized for the trainer in question once, but the Pokemon TSV will stay locked, meaning the trainer can have the Shiny if the numbers match the next time you rematch them (Its a small chance but can happen), but can never be Shiny for you because you locked the TSV from ever being the same for you And as for the Shiny Shadow Pokemon having a shot of losing their Shininess upon purification, that is also false, there is no bug/coding that causes that to happen, what the game does is essentially run a coding sequence that removes the flag marking it as a Shadow Pokemon and gives it the ribbon you get for purifying it

Ooooo I did the Manaphy hunt as well! Got it back in 2012! Easiest way is to transfer the egg over, save before hatching it, hatch it, if its shiny then yay, if not you hatch it on a different gen 4 game by trading it to another save file. Not shiny there? Restart your save on the first game and play until you can trade. Rinse and repeat.

...purple charizard i actually prefer mostly because it aesthetically matches him rather than the black variant. While black is naturally the equivalent of charcoal, it also symbolizes, a burnt-out or dead ember. PURPLE meanwhile emphasizes a stronger flame, based on how much oxygen and light is pouring into the flame, in the tier list it goes from red, yellow, orange, blue, and finally violet or purple Edit: so there are ways nowadays to force manipulate a shiny to stay in it's shiny form after purification, turns out individual string of commands actually are binded to certain shinies before you catch _meaning_ you can do the reverse of catching the polar opposite and garunteed the shiny after capture. ...it just takes a lot of outside tsa tools to track it

the shiny problem in colosseum doesn't exactly work that way. whenever you encounter a shadow pokemon it will be shiny locked but upon capture it can turn into a shiny. but there is a trainer battle that you watch which counts toward the first encounter, so now it could be shiny when you battle it but when you catch it, itl no longer be shiny

Great video, interesting shiny rarities, yeah, Manaphy seems to be the hardest, keep it up!

Thanks!

You’re welcome!

Shiny Mew is also in Pokémon Go Another mention is Munchlax from DPpt honey tree. There’s only one honey tree with Munchlax. I guess it’s not as bad once you find the tree but it’s still annoying Legendary birds or Mewtwo from gen 1. You have to soft reset, keep catching them and trade them up to gen 2 after you see if the stats are right. I think the events from the New York Pokémon center in gen 2 had a chance to be shiny…if anyone still has one and a battery that’s not dead, that’s pretty rare. And you don’t need extra Ranger cartridges for manaphy. You hunt by trading it between gen 4 games. Get it close to hatching and then save. If it’s not shiny when it hatches, reset and trade the egg to a new save. It’s still a pain but not like you were saying.

[@pugnator2749]

You can use the 8F glitch to make any Pokemon in red and blue shiny, so shiny legendary birds and Mewtwo aren't super hard to get. Also they're in Pokemon GO raids from time to time with 1/20 shiny odds

[@Newlife2811]

Little known fact, gen one had shinies but they didnt show textually only in its stats, but when saying that you never knew you had a shiny until traded to gold or silver. But they are there!

[@silversonic1]

Regarding Charizard, it's not impossible for a Shiny Charizard from Gen 2 to still exist without emulation. There was a story about someone who found another person's Pokemon stored in Pokemon Stadium. Many N64 games use flash memory for saves, including Stadium. Game Boy games used RAM that's backed up with batteries in the cartridge. So while the batteries (especially in Gen 2 due to keeping time) can die on the original carts, any Pokemon saved to Stadium are safe. Also there was a flash memory device that could back up save files for Game Boy games. I have a backup of my older brother's Crystal save to this day.

[@mrgodsir6907]

You can also shiny hunt mew in red and blue with the trainer fly glitch. You can’t see it’s shiny in gen 1 you’ll just have to see if it has the right stats and then trade it to G/S/C

[@andrews6411]

There's an easier way to obtain shiny mew that can be transferred through pokebank to new generations. And it's through pokemon res and blue VC. You have to use the missingno glitch in tandem with item 8F to execute arbitrary code. The code will give you a 1 in 3 chance to encounter mew in the wild. The next code changes the OT to GF. The next will change the Trainer ID. Both those items will allow it to pass the pokebank checks. Lastly you can execute a code that will give mew all stats equalling 10, which will make it shiny when traded to generation 2

[@robinnVA]

the one about colosseum is extremely wrong. if a shadow pokemon is shiny, it will only appear that way AFTER being caught. purifying it will not reverse its shininess, and it's completely legitimate (can be transferred all the way to s/v). the only shiny locked pokemon are umbreon, espeon, ho-oh, and duking's plusle. the only time you will ever see an opponent use a shiny pokemon is during a rematch with that NPC, and if they use a Shiny, then it wasn't shiny for you during the first battle anyways. think of this as a 1/8192 chance for them to have a shiny because their trainer information changes between the first and second battle, while all of the pokémon's information (stats, nature, ability, etc.) are locked in by the game the first time they appear in battle. in XD, all shadow pokémon are shiny locked for both the player and opponents in all circumstances, with the only obtainable shinies being eevee, all of the wild pokémon, all of the duking trade pokémon, the elekid you obtain in a trade for the shadow togepi, and the johto starters from mt. battle

[@ContentCreature]

4:20 you can get mew and jirachi both in BDSP if youve played LGPE and SWSH, so you can SR for shinies, and theyre legitamate

[@nobleginger2535]

It took me three years to shiny hunt Jirachi blind on the bonus disk. I adore my little red star baby and I currently prepping myself to do the Manaphy hunt next so wish me luck.

[@hawkfeather6802]

The manphany that hatches from the egg isn't supposed to shiny? Holy cow,I've had one in my boxes since 2011!

[@atomicpunk2360]

Lmao that is nutsssss

[@universegamez]

For the BDSP Arceus encounter, you don't need to catch all pokemon in the sinnoh dex lol. You just need to have at least encounter them via wild encounter or battles

[@MrGamecubeVT]

I am currently doing both the MANAPHY and JIRACHI hunts, I have JPN copies of Diamond and Pearl and completed 3 playthroughs of Ranger to get 3 unique eggs. The Jirachi bonus disc I got from a friend for Christmas but I also have to shiny hunt for his Jirachi. gonna be a wild few months in 2024 unless I'm lucky

[@kalanivernon7273]

The odds of getting a shiny in gen 2 (or gen 1) could be reduced to as low as 1/64 if one of the parents was themselves shiny. As such, using the "Red Gyarados/Shiny Ditto" glitch reduces the odds of any gen 1 or gen 2 pokemon being shiny to 1/64 if it was capable of being bred, as using that glitch guaranteed a Shiny Ditto.

[@cullbear55]

You actually don't want to SR for Mew because of Emerald's broken RNG. You do RAs (Run Aways) instead.

[@kennyo4230]

:Shiny Pokémon you will never own Me: literally none

At 1:00, you can see if the pokemon is shiny in gen 1 by looking at the stats

Wait a second. Shiny Celebi was available in Pokemon Go through the special research when the Zarude movie was coming out. I'm pretty sure that you can transfer him to regular games via HOME.

Sorry about that man! My team must have misstepped somewhere, but ultimately that’s on me! I will credit you now! :)

The Manaphy one is technically incorrect, the other 2 Ranger games can still get it (although still one per game) and requires the Wifi Event. On a side note I have Shiny Celebi, Jirachi and Manaphy.

[@darthsidious4274]

I used to breed shiny charmanders on Crystal, I used the Shiny Ditto from Pokemon Red glitch, it made things so easy. Crystal is honestly the most fun shiny hunting game for me, I wanna try it out on the virtual console with a 3ds, but not sure if the Ditto/Mew glitch is still working. Edit: It is!

[@hunter002x]

2:56 you also need to “100%” legends arceus. Just complete the dex and catch Arceus. No need to do every sidequest

You can actually get a shiny mew from the red and blue virtual console versions through doing glitches. You can even transfer it up to the newest gens. I think a youtube channel call Chickasaurus has a tutorial on this.

GF gave away so many Shiny Celebi's through events over the last few Gen's. It's the most common shiny mythical by far.

[@shinyhaunter0576]

With Manaphy if you hatch it in the game you send it to it will never be shiny. The only way for the Manaphy to hatch shiny is by trading it to a different generation 4 game and seeing if it’s shiny. If not shiny, then you can soft reset and trade the egg to a different save until it is shiny.

[@ByoKora775]

Shadow Scizor is rare itself since you needed a disk with the Japanese version of Pokémon colosseum

[@RN-du8wr]

I had the BARNEYzard in gold. I bought silver later to trade over and by then the black and red was implemented. I wasn't overly sad about it black and red was way cooler .

[@eforham]

The jirachi even being able to be shiny was proven just last year . And I’m pretty sure the manaphy on Pokémon ranger isn’t locked 1 per game but 1 per play through. I have that exact game got the manaphy and years later replayed the entire game and did the event again ( would still take like 15 hours per egg)

[@ComstarAgent]

Wishmaker Jirachi being able to be shiny has been known for a very long time

[@cencil6497]

1:20 Yes, the battery will die. But we can backup our save files and restore them on cartridges after changing out the battery these days.

Spinda odds would technically be much lower if it wasn't "your" specific pattern. I'm sure two people somewhere have the same shiny spinda.

[@IkaNyan404]

another thing about manaphy that was sort of touched on... you got to hope it wasn't claimed when buying another game... it's not just 1 per save its 1 per cart... so even buying a new game you're not guaranteed to even be able to get manaphy...

You can actually immortalize Gen 1-2 shinies by storint them on a Pokemon Stadium 1-2 cartridge.

yea for only way to transfer a shiny gen 1 or gen 2 like charizard if u transfer them to pokemon moon. and the only way to get a shiny mew in gen 1 u either a need to restart the game many times or use the glitch so u can get that trainer id u need so it can then be transfer to any of the recent games like moon lol
