[@IcySeabass]

When you meticulously plan for weeks worth of Shiny hunting only for it to end in 2 days. 🙃

[@TheGlitchLogs]

It really do be like that 😭 I feel like I used up all my shiny luck for this year

[@LatinGiudo817]

Me 😭

[@chaysewalls5180]

Prepared for long got it on encounter 360

[@relicanthking]

I got mine in 40 minutes

[@joshyotoast]

Me 11 weeks later 😅

[@RinOverdrive]

Seeing your pure excitement when the Shiny Arceus was on screen brings such joy to my heart!!!

[@PulseEffects]

I did not know how much I needed a GlitchxCity video essay in my life until today! Fantastic work! 🎉

[@Zarugoza5969]

Wait, I didn't even notice it was Glitch! Holy crap!

[@ulyssesveracruz8343]

Since this channel is new i can pretty much say that im now an oficial og member 😎

[@pyrojack8230]

Nidorino is actually the first pokemon. When you load up a fresh cartridge of Red and Blue, the first pokemon to show up on the screen is a Nidorino, so theres actually a 5th first pokemon

[@NickRadfordPoetLaureate]

I'm sooo jealous of how quickly you got your shiny! I'm in the thousands for resets and still haven't seen it come up. Congrats!

[@Hip-Gnosis1134]

Your reaction and immediate thought to call your fiance is so wholesome, I loved it.

[@PhillyBeatzU]

YES THE GLITCH LOGS ARE HERE BABY!!!

[@Unovakid24]

Idk why, but Glitch's voice is very soothing to listen to. Maybe it's because im so used to the remixes that the actual voice is a nice surprise lol

[@DetectiveKittyCat]

Im so glad i got to see the journey. I didn’t realize how much of a pain it was to prepare. The shiny gods graced your presence. Congratulations!

[@99squared51]

Love the editing. I also know the pain of attempting to catch a legendary in a 1x catch rate ball.

[@wanderingtyphlosion7332]

I'm doing this hunt myself. I got a Breloom that is perfect for this, and the test run I did went perfect with Luxury Balls, around 30 out of my 60 were used and the sleep turns really help. 142 encounters is insane for a fixed full odds shiny. I'm still hunting, with the current time spent is at least a week

[@TheGlitchLogs]

Love the test runs, honestly a good way to see if the goal is feasible! Breloom is an awesome choice for this hunt, wish you the best of luck!!

[@wanderingtyphlosion7332]

​@TheGlitchLogs I finally got it. I ended up finalizing a theoretical test run during the shiny encounter. One X Spdef made Hyper Beam and Future Sight a 3HKO on Breloom, with one X Atk making False Swipe get Arceus down to one. About 16 Luxury balls later, and 8 days later, Shiny Arceus has been caught and ribbon mastered

[@sidepull]

That popoff is HBOX levels of legendary!

[@ethandobbs]

This is awesome!

[@ParakeetDSi]

Yoooo Dobbs

[@bloodraptorite]

Lets fucking go New glitch content

[@spinceiling7442]

GlitchXCity video essay channel? I'm so here for this. Got a similar story to yours, I've been mesmerized by Arceus since I was in middle school when gen 4 came out but I didn't even live in the US so I could never get the event one. Shiny hunting it (and Shaymin and Darkrai) was a childhood dream come true. I started the hunt the day the event became available and I finally got it two weeks later (Spore, false swipe breloom is almost always the goat when it comes to shiny hunting). Transferred that bad boy to Legends Arceus and took like a million pictures lol. I love my golden llama

[@leafyninja4117]

Very happy for u and excited to see more from this channel!

[@Polygonyall]

Ilca is the shiny hunter's development team. they know what we want. no locks

[@RealQuax]

Very good Quality of the Video. Also funny and informative. Followed you, keep the Great work up

[@triforchestra5974]

Love your style of videos! 100% subscribed ❤ looking forward to more :)

[@hakasehakase]

Holy moly, ur a new channel. I have nothing more to binge. Its over. I love ur video im subscribing

[@JossueVegaBazan]

Genuinely great video! Looking forward to seeing more!

[@Glitterblossom]

Been hoping you’d make a channel like this for years!! I hope you have a lot of fun with it!!!!

[@luisterine]

Lovely editing and script! This is gold!

[@SamGiles]

Congrats!! Fantastic video too! I started my shiny Arceus hunt yesterday, haha who knows how long it'll take?! Keep up the great work!

[@AngryBassist66623]

Love the new channel!!! This is a great direction for your content. I can't count past 493 so I felt that this video is the closest I can get to godliness in the Pokémon universe.

[@lob674]

Congratulations on your butter god 🎉

[@profpokemon]

Great content, glitch! Love it! You deserve to be a pokémon professor! :D

[@gugg2216]

I'm already liking this video structure

[@jksplays_gvo]

I just started this hunt... and after watching how excited you are when you got shiny Arceus, and after getting shiny Rayquaza in Shining Pearl earlier this week, I gave you a new sub! Going for Arceus in my second Brilliant Diamond run right now with a Breloom I built with Max Special Defense EVs and a Bronzong that resists Future Sight just in case Breloom gets crit. I also love your Mismagius strategy since that's my favorite Ghost type.

[@teckell]

Great journey! Just started my Arceus hunt today.

[@AbiroopSudarsananRanjith-ir9fe]

Man this brings me back to the times I would sit for hours on my ds shiny hunting

[@bradnelson7296]

Dude I LOVE your videos!!!

[@WiterallyCS]

Let’s go! Huge congrats!

[@Maximiliano896]

I love this for you. Congratulations on your well deserved Shiny Arceus. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@HybridHero]

Oh man I can’t wait to see this channel pop off

[@aidenb200]

That's the wildest reaction I've heard for a shiny arceus.

[@cskplays]

this was entertaining asf, and also made me realize that the bdsp arceus encounter isnt a timed event. i wanted one SO BAD BUT I THOUGHT I COULDNT! THANK YOU

[@ItsDaNewGuy]

I am an old man. I went to Japan for mine, back during the old events. Right now, he is enjoying his return from retirement in Pokémon Scarlet, basking in the sun and enjoying some churros. I was a tad disappointed when they didn't make Arceus actually gold in Scarlet and Violet, but the yellow is still nice. 🥪🗿

[@TheGlitchLogs]

Arceus in retirement is craaaaaaaaaazy haha! That's so awesome you got the distribution for it!

[@ItsDaNewGuy]

@@TheGlitchLogs He used to be a big deal on my Ultra Sun and Moon team, but I didn't have the money to bring him over to Switch, nor did he have a game to go to even if I did. With the release of Scarlet and Violet's DLC, he came back, so I could happily pay whatever I needed to pay to get him back. He, my Shiny Darkrai, Shiny Genesect, and so many others are back with me in my new system. It broke my heart to leave them for as long as I did, it's great to have them back.

[@phelyne]

For future reference, you can use an Exeggutor with the ability Harvest and the moves Trick and Skill Swap and Bestow holding a Leppa Berry to give the Pokémon you're trying to catch essentially an infinite amount of PP. Also, using a Poison Heal Breloom with Poison Heal holding a Toxic Orb with the moves Spore and False Swipe is far better than paralyzing. Alternatively you can use a Smeargle. (Gratz on shiny Arceus by the way, I haven't gotten around to hunting that one yet. I'm still hunting stuff in earlier generations before they close down Bank)

[@cocolocatomandococacola]

Sick shiny thooo Nice video :D

[@jorgejmoreno751]

Wow congrats! I got mine after grueling for months (from start of official event update till April 2nd of this year) and I cried of happiness. I managed to Synchronize the nature with my Espeon but had to use the Master ball to capture it.

[@coreyd5418]

Your screaming--beautiful :D

[@zedero_]

I actually got mine through RNG manipulation in Platinum and using the server that has stored the Gen 4/5 events to get the Azure flute, I haven't tried transfering him yet but I love him

[@TheGlitchLogs]

he's a good lad! I read up on the issues that people had when transferring it up from gen 4. There's a check that runs through because of how Arceus was originally distributed

[@EmpireGamingWynter]

I've been hunting Arceus for 3 weeks now. I've probably watched this video 5-6 times just to keep me sane in remembering this thing actually exists haha

[@Juicesipper17]

this was such a insane video thanks !

[@Ok.I.Pull.Up.420]

I love your reaction when you saw Arceus! Such good luck!

[@MugenCannon97]

I'm currently doing this hunt myself, just crossed the 1000 threshold today, still going strong, somehow. Mad jealous you got it that fast! Love ur reaction, really exciting!

[@jorgemtzb9359]

Hey would you look at that I found a new streamer to look at their vods. You seem really fun. I was surprised to look at your channela nd realized it's actually a relatively small channel and was expecting tons of videos and playthroughs to binge and reactions to pokémon content to watch cuz it has the production quality of a big pokétuber. Keep it up! you got a new fan

[@Todengel1313]

Got my copy of brilliant diamond last year when the Darkrai event was happening, sat on my members card for over a year before I started that hunt. I didn't keep track of resets, and was semi afk the whole time. Judging by my registered playtime ingame and the time my switch told me, averaging about 3 minutes a reset to account for not paying attention it was around 400-500 resets.

[@user-dj7km8ju3q]

I started watching your video to make sure I knew what the shiny looked like and then found it. Thanks for the luck!

[@dinomaster420]

Seeing this plan fold out live was so exciting!

[@mxferal514]

Really enjoyed being there live for that hunt! For bdsp one of my favorite shinies I was hunting full odds was buizel

[@TheGlitchLogs]

Shiny Buizel is suuuuuuuuuuch a good shiny, didn't see my first one until PLA! The pastel hue for it is just perfection

[@gold_melody]

I hunted arceus on and off for a solid year and i finally got it a few months ago in a regular pokeball

[@TheGlitchLogs]

That's such a flex, congrats on the yellow llama!

[@DenniselAzul]

I began following you in your other channel for your music and remixes, now I like to follow you here because these videos are fun to watch.

[@otakuzone9976]

When luck is on your side, while i am debating thats its worth continuing my hunt for it…😅😅

[@TheGlitchLogs]

One day we will all have our shiny llamas

[@mrdrsirman3168]

Great video! You should give full odds another shot sometime, there a lot of fun hunts that are full odds

[@boozer.s]

I did a double hunt on two switches. I trained up a Slowbro for each game. My hold item was a Leppa berry and combined with the move Recycle, I never ran out of PP. My second move was heal pulse to keep arceus from self deletion when it ran out of pp. Third move was slack off to keep Slowbro alive. Last move was yawn to max catch chance when i throw balls. I maxed out my inventory with luxury balls and spent like 4 months hunting. When it finally shined, it took like an hour and 200+ luxury balls to catch it.

[@Shaxell-Plus]

AAAYY!! Congrats for getting Shiny God! i got mine weeks if not months before The Teal Mask and it was at my side during said DLC, and of course it will go to The Indigo Disk too. Favorite form would probably be the Dark Type one. It took me only 10 days to get it, even if i only tried to get it went i came home from school. But man at the end of those 10 days you start to only hear Dodogyuuun....

[@dragons1348]

I’ve done 4 of those hunts, and I got all of them under odds, Palkia came at 2176, giratina at 726, rayquaza being the fastest at 250, and mewtwo at 2007

[@CarlosRIOS777]

I loved your joy and excitement when it popped up!

[@moonflowerfox6995]

This is fitting that this video was made not long after I got my Shiny Arceus in shining pearl, also congrats on your shiny arceus.

[@needmoresnacks]

I've been hunting for this bastard since shortly after BDSP came out on and off and I'm watching this while resetting to channel the shiny vibes. I did get a steam deck last year so I did take a decent sized hiatus but I've done it while doing dishes, chores, watching TV, I haven't kept tracks but I've gotta be WAY over odds by now.

[@ggaboveaveragegamer]

Love how you say arceus cause that’s the way I say it too! I actually had him in 2007 cause I used a certain device back in the day… and after transferring him to Pokémon battle revolution on my Wii the announcer said it ar-see-us like 2 years before it was officially recognized. Good times

[@EpicBaller72]

Cool Hunt! I was Pokéradar Chaining in X and Y and on 1/3855 odds I found a Shiny Patch of grass that had a Shiny Bunnelby in it! For reference, the best odds for the Pokéradar are 1/200, so I lucked out with this hunt.

[@sjgames9104]

I was SOS method hunting for a shiny eevee for a friend of mine a few years back, and I got it in 4 encounters! The extra shiny rolls hadn’t even kicked in yet!

[@alphi.2053]

That’s amazing I’m jealous I’ve been at this for months. You are blessed

[@pokemans8616]

That is crazy luck. My hunt was over 8300 resets, over 130 hours! congrats!!

[@Budewfan]

My fastest shiny hunt was a shiny Cyndaquil in HeartGold. I wasn't even keeping track, but it had to have been only 150-200 resets.

[@TheGlitchLogs]

I need to hunt for Chikorita in my HG version @.@

[@rubenmoreno407]

Your reaction was so pure, reminded me of when we were all kids and being legit happy and surprised.

[@Fiwek23452]

Thank you for pronouncing Arceus correctly, subbed

[@completebuffoon]

I hunted arceus twice. First time took over a year, second took about 5 days. (Also you were my top Spotify artist this year)

[@Zenithar_W47K3R]

this is gonna be my FIRST shiny hunt ill ever done after i bet every game and catch them all

[@CoopDiggityDawg]

I actually got shiny starter mudkip in oras the other day, it was ab 500 ish encounters I wasn’t really keeping track but around that number

[@chan.username]

Nice one:) I’m lucky to have gotten shiny arceus after about 1-2 months and got the dahura arceus:)

[@Shordy9.09]

Easy sub fr video was lit

[@K.Bbluesword5525]

Took me 200 resets to catch that shiny arceus. My actual first shiny hunt. I'm glad to see a video on this lama

[@Just_Another_Hunter]

I got mine at 3,806 encounters and already planned to use a masterball on it. took about a month and a half to get it. but with those odds it was a pretty low amount (compared to my other hunts).

[@shinobulover7427]

Arceus was my favorite hunt and such a cool Pokémon, managed to get him under 150 resets

[@AzureProminence]

I have successfully caught a Shiny Arceus on my Brilliant Diamond file as well. Here is the Pokemon I used. Breeloom w/Poison Heal. • Spore • Swords Dance • Flase Swipe • Bullet Seed When a Pokemon is sleeping it has a higher chance of being caught, so that’s what helped me catch it in an Ultra Ball. Breloom has become my ace Pokemon for capturing Shiny Pokemon in any game I can use it in. Also took me 2,488 resets for my shiny Arceus. Thanks for sharing your experience Glitch. 😊

[@TheGlitchLogs]

You're the 2nd person to mention Breloom! Congrats on the shiny!

[@ninjarev1388]

I've probably already known this now , but u don't have to catch every pokémon but u just need to have seen all 151 them and unlock the national pokedex to unlock arceus

[@NotTotemPanic]

11:23 I don't know how i noticed that, but i got a wild shiny Floette in Pokemon Violet WITHOUT Shiny Charm or any sandwiches

[@dawsos]

You could’ve used Pokémon HOME to get the BP for Thunder Wave. Great video!

[@forcertain]

Seeing this made my day

[@CakeHound612]

Man u got in 142🎉! For me it took 12 hrs for 6 days in around 4100 SR but I’m so happy I got it!

[@amaionnaise1594]

amazing video!!!!

[@splat9861]

For future hunts i feel you should know that bringing a combo of pokemon that knows the move trick/bestow and has a leppa berry and a pokemon that has the ability harvest and the move skill swap will allow ur target to never struggle to death(i personally use rotom and kanto exegutor bc they can repectively learn thunderwave and hypnosis plus they can be transfered trough home so u dont need multiple pokemon just 2😊)

[@TheGlitchLogs]

Those are some Arboliva tactics right there (unfortunately I ran into that combo during my vgc climb). 9000 IQ to use that strat for a hunt

[@Bolt38877]

Any ability changing moves don’t work on arcues o had to leppa berry recycle on one of my smeargle’s to catch arcues with a master ball

[@williamsramos4806]

Massive preparation, i just took one random Pokémon, a masterball, and it took me 15 reset. Now is doing 6-7 stars raids on Violet.

[@kazinwho]

Congrats! At least you had a Master Ball to fall back on, I'm jealous lol. The first time I encounter shiny Arceus (sigh), despite throwing Timer Ball after Timer Ball at it with 1 HP and while it was asleep, it Struggled itself to death and I missed it. That hurt. I did end up getting it the second time, again in a Timer Ball. Don't waste your Master Ball on regular Dialga, people! lmao

[@AlwayzGeekedUp]

congrats this is huge. i dont have the courage to try it

[@viral4983]

i bought a used heart gold copy, soft reset THREE TIMES, and got a shiny chikorita, said fuck it lets random encounter hunt for the first time ever too, got a targetted shiny hoothoot in 141 encounters, not even an hour. ive also gotten another shiny chikorita in 530ish resets and a ahint tododile in 2 hours on 2 ds

[@spearexplays4912]

I also got shiny arceus in around 200 encounters a few days ago and i was so overwhelmed. i can really imagine how you felt at that point😂 Plus i got it in a Luxury Ball.

[@lemonscaled4274]

I started my hunt for this a week or so ago and got it in just a couple days also. Threw 60+ luxury balls before struggle, had to use master ball as well

[@TheGlitchLogs]

gotta do what you gotta do

[@Alibium]

Dang I’m so jealous. Only 451 in but I’m already feeling tired as heck… I’m not built for this

[@youjustlostthegame4418]

You can buy thunderwave in the underground btw Congrats on the shiny, I'm gonna hunt for it soon

[@royallunala976]

I am SO jealous of your luck. Mine took 3 months, 105 hours and 6336 encounters!

[@TheGlitchLogs]

SHEEESSSHHH, at least you have it now!!

[@what-un4yq]

There is one more method. An in game event. From the original Diamond and Pearl. It can be accessed through the void glitch. that item was never released. But it does make the transfer to home.

[@slipstreamtechnician2811]

Been planning on hunting for one myself for some time now, finally got my save of Brilliant Diamond to right before the Arceus fight but I know I'm gonna get impatiant while trying to do it

[@gengar710]

I had both of my switches at the time setup with brilliant diamond & shining pearl to double hunt it thinking it was going to be some crazy long hunt… got it in 188 encounters. Much better than the 2,615 for Shaymin or the 4,560 for Darkrai.

[@Efwin197]

that reaction was rightfully insane
