the iron valiant/roaring moon location is also the best place to exp farm without candies btw; the grassy area without the pattern on the ground is where you're gonna get the most chansey spawns out of anywhere in the game, and they're at the highest level possible (around 55).

I got the second miraidon with the master ball and fully EV trained him and got him to lvl 85 off the bat.

[@nunyabidnuss6398]

I don't know if anyone has said it yet, but in regards to hunting shiny Iron Valiant @ 16:23, I found out something cool as a fluke that will help a ton! if you get fairy 3* sandwitch buffs, you can go to the caves at research station 4 and they'll spawn all over the place and i found a shiny in like 2 minutes using the iron bundle route; I assume Roaring Moon will also have a similar spawn interaction with dragon buffs

[@maltemnt912]

Most free shiny ever, thanks for that!

[@shayhem5794]

Thank you so much for sharing!! I just did this for iron valiant and they def do spawn like crazy down there! 😊

[@garfieldmatthewson5169]

Doesn't work for Roaring Moon. Zweilous has a higher spawn rate for dragon and dark so it's a pain in the @ss

[@gamerwolffang2722]

That's actually a mechanic if you get a high enough level a good chance that Pokemon will be the only one to spawn unless there's another poke with the same type to spawn

[@CrustyTheMoist]

​@gamerwolffang2722 even at the highest level at 3, around 50-60% of the spawns will still be zweilous

[@coleeolee]

Pro tip: for roaring moon and iron valiant, negating cluster spawning works best. After you reach spawn cap (13 Pokémon at once) slowly and carefully despawn Pokémon one by one. That way pokemon like greaveard and pawmi can’t spawn because they always spawn in groups of 5. That way you can get a bunch of Pokémon excluded from your spawns

[@kingspinda9352]

Fun fact: both the Iron Valiant and Roaring Moon resemble their normal variants’ megas. Iron Valiant has a dress like Mega Gardevior and Blades on its arms like Mega Gallade. Roaring Moon has the wings of a Mega Salamance.

[@SheorieKaiser]

Roaring moon has a way better body build. I detest mega salamence. But love Roaring Moon

[@TheSpectralForce]

On a side note, I think people always immediately mention the Salamence resemblance and the Mega form wings and don't realize Roaring Moon is also likely a common ancestor to Hydreigon as well. The dark type, limb proportions and feathery appearance are the giveaways. Look at them side by side when flying and they move in a similar manner. I'm still trying to figure out if other paradox mons are "fusions" like this, but at the least, Roaring Moon and Valiant are composed of two mon designs each. One where evolution diverged in the present, another where evolution brought two pokemon together.

[@SheorieKaiser]

@@TheSpectralForce yup. Totally didnt see that, but i agree with you

[@Blastanker]

Fun fact: it tells you that on the Pokédex.

[@LuckyBoy-sn9dj]

For anyone wondering, you can also use the auto battle feature to knock out pokemon and free up spawns so that iron valiant and roaring moon will spawn quicker

[@Blabbitzer]

This is helpful as your auto battle Pokémon will refuse to attack shinies as this can help with ones that are hard to tell the difference between

[@Jungle_Twist]

Yup yup. I was doing this last night to find a good IV Roaring Moon.

[@ValunarTonix]

@@Blabbitzer yeah I got a shiny dugtrio from my Iron Valiant hunt. Valiantly failed, but got the dugtrio

[@masterofadapting]

@@ValunarTonix I've gotten a shiny sneasel (wasn't even using dark type boosts) 1 shiny gible, and probably about 4 shiny zweilous.

[@InfernalDalek]

Be careful. I went into code for Koraidon - Miraidon. After showing me a Miraidon, they attempted to trade a Murkrow.

[@toddelmsworth640]

Impressive find for that shiny Dunsparce mid-recording lol Thanks for the hunting tech. Took a couple resets cause I don’t have the shiny charm. On the third attempt with the flying sandwich I found 2 shiny Iron Jugulises in under 10 minutes My recommendations for most spawns of a future mon Treads: Steel (ground will also spawn Dugtrios) Bundle: either Ice or Water (underground is best place to hunt, as seen in the video) Hands: Fighting (either type spawns Pawmos, but Electric will spawn Raichus if you’re above ground) Jugulis: Flying (Dark also works, but in the cave where Iron Valiant spawns, Sneasels spawn there too. Again, go underground for best results) Moth: Fire (while fire will also spawn Talonflames, Poison will spawn Venomoths, Gimmets, & Glimmoras) Thorns: Electric (Rock will spawn Lycanrocs & Garganacls) Valiant: Fairy (Fighting can spawn Pawmos) EDIT: not sure how accurate most of these are, but it’s a good general idea for them

[@shoganza8616]

On the crop circles -- this, and the metal plate you passed before the shiny Dun, appear in the version's Violet/Scarlet book. The game implies that these are related to whatever makes Area Zero special; and most likely are brought about by the mystery Pokemon that exists on the last page of the book with the redacted characters. If you read the books that appear in the Area Zero waystations, the Professor even confirms the existence of this Pokemon. It is highly likely that this will the the main DLC legendary, in addition to the 'Imagined Pokemon' that appears in your version's book.

[@nfrance999]

Potential Theory spoiler: It's also assumed this pokemon somehow allows the creation of the Paradox Pokemon, as much as their name implies, their existence (and especially the future ones) is a major paradox because their first "sighting" was the author of the scarlet/violet book...... 200 years before the time machines invention that was responsible for bringing them here.

[@helpfulDeathgod]

@@nfrance999 More Theory with Spoilers: I'm pretty sure the original Scarlet Book itself is a paradox. It would have been sent all the way back to when the Ancient Pokemon existed in their own times (which, we know the AI wouldn't immediately perish because there are supposedly more Terastals there than in the present, and therefore would support him/her) or all the way forward to the future when the Futuristic Pokemon exist naturally, and yet, yeah... how then do those paradox pokemon exist only 200 years before these events when the time machine was certainly built only about 10 or so years ago. The pokemon should, therefore, only begin to exist in that area, in that state, starting ~10 years ago. Scarlet makes that worse since it makes a loop that affects us in the present, but Violet creates a loop that won't see the effect for... who knows how long. However long it takes for someone to fuse Gardevoir and Gallade into a singular Mecha-mon. Which, either Futuristic pokemon are entirely man-made... or natural in the sense that Porygon is actually a naturally occurring creature.

[@theoraexplora]

Cayla's Capsule nailed her theory about those after the cover reveal (yea, that long ago). chances are that the DLC will canonise that Arven's dad is Turo and his mom is Sada in both games, which means the other parent will time travel us the 3rd, reflective, hexagonal disc friend. (lowkey hoping it's a double paradox Rayquaza, with future elements that make it kinda like book description, and past elements that make it kinda Shenron-like)

[@smithynoir9980]

@@theoraexplora I want it to be Rayquaza exactly as you said, that'd be unreal!

[@LeiraVeil-Challenge]

Interesting note about the plate. It has a map of paldea on it with the locations of all the towns marked. Not sure what this means. Also both the plates symbol and the crop circles are on the front of the box with two others, one that resembles the hexagonal plates mentioned in the scarlet/violet book and one unknown one that looks to be either a astrological or alchemical symbol. There's more to this mystery but I haven't figured it out yet

[@HeartlessNobody413]

I loved the story in this game. It was incredible. The twists and turns from the path of legends and area zero. The music and plot twists were amazing.

[@waffles_s5791]

9:44 the symbol on the floor is actually the symbol that appears on the floor of the arceus egg event and also in the final boss fight against arceus in legends, or at least it appears as that to me. I think it is quite odd to see that it would be placed in a closed off cave system but maybe it could be relating to something in the future of the game

[@typh2630]

It’s not. This one’s too simple in design and has 4 “corners” (don’t know how else to put it) signified by the 4 spheres on the ends (in short, it’s a square). The arceus one has 3 spheres that align in a triangle signifying the creation trio, with arceus being in the middle.

[@acerains]

Little note iron valiant when using Fairy bonus can be found in Base 4 area Roaring Moon is a pain in the butt and the hardest imo

[@brendanboomhour7606]

Courtesy of sharing both types with Hydreigon's line

[@cedriceichenauer4490]

One tipp if you Shiny Hunt Iron Valiant: If you have the fairy boost, they can actually spawn in the entrance of the cave that goes from Station 3 to Station 4 and no Greavard will spawn.

[@pallao3500]

Not being able to box the riding Legend means that you also wont be able to put it in Pokemon HOME. Thus the catchable version of the box Legend is the only one that can be used to get the dex entry for HOME dex once HOME can be connected with SV. Something to keep in mind if you consider to trade it away forever.

[@Leondragon06]

Good important note thanks

[@simonteesdale9752]

@@Leondragon06 There's a duplication glitch that puts a copy of it in your box, as well as duplicating it's held item. You still can't trade the duped legendary, though. To do this, have a full party including the ride pokemon, then catch a pokemon. When prompted, choose to put the newly caught pokemon in your party, pressing A, then B to select the ride pokemon as the one to send back into the box, bypassing the "can't be sent to box" check.

[@s665677]

Also the only one that will be able to go to gen 10 and above too So it sounds counter conducive but I'd would put more effort into the tradeable one compared to one we all get attached to because once this generation is over we are going to have to say goodbye to good doggo dragon because it can't follow us into the future games and beyond because of that

[@Sajjad09]

Oh i never realised and already traded it but its fine I traded it to my friend

[@OllyMay95]

Yeah this kinda stucks, I can place my traded legendary in Home but not my box legendary. Guess I'll have to play it twice!

[@divvyl0ngf00t]

'You can use those green little teleporty teleporters to teleport' has to be one of my favourite quotes from this dude 😂😂

[@Altair676]

Shiny hunting over online may be a bit gimped with the reduced spawns, but it sure is nice that as a scarlet player, I'm the OT of my shiny iron hands and iron valiant. I do really like the fact that you can catch the other game's exclusives if you're around each other.

[@bullstrode5875]

Tip for anyone catching the second box legendary, you can use repeat balls for better catch rates instead of ultra balls if you want to save your master ball. When you get ridable miraidon to achieve battle form and can put it on your team it is already registered to the pokedex, so repeat ball will have better catch rate than ultra ball if your looking to save master ball for something more important! Edit: lot of replies of people having caught legendary in low catch rate balls. Congratulations, weird flex but ok.

[@Jman20077]

It’s also possible to duplicate the Masterball, Which is what I did

Extra tip for iron thorns, in that area with the rock you can go above and they will spawn much more frequently. Than that opposed to that small stone circle. :) Happy Hunting!

[@helpfulDeathgod]

Same for Sandy Shocks. Same spawn locations.

[@omarreyes7626]

Hello to anyone new, a lot of paradox pokemon ARE NOT available during the “way home” storyline, I talk from experience, I spent almost 2 hours trying to get Iron Valiant to spawn on it’s location and it never did, I even used fairy and fighting encounter boosts up to level 2 and nothing, alternatively (I have both versions) when I looked for the salamace paradox in scarlet I just used one level 1 dragon encounter booster post game and that made 10 of them to spawn, so in conclusion, these two are only available post game just thought you should know

[@Colbzilla]

For the iron thorns spawn if there aren’t any at the bottom of the slope climb up to the top. I have a 100% encounter rate there when doing that as they can spawn at both the bottom and top.

Something I noticed is that the Miraidon/Koriadon you find in Area 0 always has a Modest nature, which is good for it.

[@seenoblade7291]

I'm not sure if this has been brought up in other videos, last night I was playing with my friend and we realized something about area zero. The other game's paradox pokemon aren't sparse- the encounters just work exactly like they do outside of area zero. When my friend and I were in the same spot, I (scarlet) was seeing a bajillion iron valiants, but they would disappear if my friend left the area. So it's perfectly feasible to shiny hunt other version exclusives, but you'd have to be on voice chat and be very well coordinated since you can't see the other player in area zero, just the spawns they attract

[@AustinD_YT]

I just had a thought while watching this video... What if in a future update or DLC, they make past and future paradox dittos for each game? Like a more metallic mercury esque ditto (probably named Iron Gloop or something) and its main purpose is it can breed with any other future pokemon, And then for its past paradox, Its alot more of an organic blob like a mix of leaves, mud, tree sap and that sort of stuff (Probably named Natural Sludge or something) that would then breed with any other past pokemon. I was also thinking, for future DLC, there could be some minor storyline of like Penny trying to investigate/understand the time travel device and ends up reversing it, allowing version exclusives but in the opposite way. Like new future pokemon in scarlet from pennys reversal and new past pokemon in violet due to the same reversal. Just some thoughts to throw into the void!

[@servxl3406]

those ideas are all super cool! there are tons of things they can go with for the DLC, so fingers crossed

it’s so hard to do this for roaring moon. dragon encounter still gives tons of zweilous and gabite with gibles. but dark encounter is even worse with sableye, sneasle, and still zweilous so you have to use a dragon encounter.

Hi Austin. Thanks for all the vids. The codes worked wonders for me! I just finished my pokedex thanks to them. I would suggest to add a code for Slowking, Scizor and Haunter for the trade evolutions, though. Thanks again for all the work :D

[@Volumixen]

That cave with the pattern (I almost am certain that the four circles are the same pattern that is on that plaque) I found like, three or four Iron Valiants.

Hearing the odds for 3 segment Dundunsparce makes me appreciate whomever surprise traded out a Shiny 3 Segment holding a giant nugget! That was my very first surprise trade of the game when I started yesterday!

[@cranberryjuice1005]

it’s probably hacked

@@cranberryjuice1005 doesn't affect me in anyway, I just think it's neat 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@MstrNolf]

I mean tbf I trade any shinies I don’t want to wonder trade hoping to make someone’s day. I have gotten 19 shinies so far in scarlet and 4 of them before the post game and all of them so far have been full odds. I been team building BIS catcher, EGG nanny and raid beasts instead I’ll go shiny hunting once I’ve gotten a full party of raid battlers. But sometimes we just wanna do something nice for others it’s not always hackers.

[@Pippemi]

It’s safe to assume every surprise traded Pokémon is likely to be hacked if it’s in any way decent. In one of the previous games I think 50% of my trades were level 100 shinies 😂 it takes the fun out of it for me so I don’t bother.

[@zekeybear5323]

Thanks for your videoes, Austin! Was able to complete my paradoxes (except for Miraidon, she had already traded it to her friend) and I even got a Shiny Garganacl!

[@VANQUISHINATOR]

So for Sandy Shocks (and Iron Thorn I presume), I climbed up the wall where they spawn near research base 2 and found it up there on the ground too

[@SanicAdventure]

So far I have 15 of the 16 Paradox pokemon already, but my only shiny is the Lechonk evo I just came for shiny information... THANKS FOR THE GOOD VIDEO

[@tobequitefranco]

Thanks for the guide! I actually managed to do this with that new recipe sheet that’s going around. Already knocked out 3 Violet paradox Pokémon so far, Valiant, Hands, and Thorns 🎉

[@annmarie6675]

I agree. The story was great! I enjoyed it. I'm still in the post-game, but the story was well done. I love the humor with the teleporty teleporters in the video, lol. Thanks editing Austin John for all the hard work you put into these videos! The humor there is great too lol.

[@ralebcaineri8664]

By the way, some of the double salty don't need to be double salty. For instance, I put ham, 1 sweet herb and 1 salty herb, and got level 3 for ground encounter, title and sparkling. So if you're missing one of the herbs, don't be scared to combine what you do have and see what it does.

[@nepd3stiny]

Thanks so much for this shiny method!! I got a shiny Iron Valiant and a yellow doggo in about 2 hours

[@shivkatariya2711]

Hi Austin. I just bought myself a switch because I've been wanting to play the new Pokemon games for ages. I last played Pokemon in the early 2000s. I played Sapphire on my Gameboy advance and my biggest regret was that i could not catch the legendary Pokemon on that. Plus, i couldn't trade for them, because I didn't know anyone who had that game. And then i found your video yesterday. I finished the game two days ago and i realised that i could catch the legendary ones here. And i did. What an amazing feeling. And then, I realised that i could trade and didn't need to know the other person in order to make the trade. You won't believe it but I got a Reyquasa!!! The Pokemon that eluded me all those years ago now sits at the top of my party. So thank you very much. Thank you for fulfilling a dream that I had since I was 13 years old!! This may not mean much but you just got yourself a new fan!

Hey quick tip for shiny hunting Iron Valiant, it can spawn anywhere in the cave besides the water, not just the grass area. By going throughout the cave, I was able to catch 2 in a half hour.

Thank you for inspiring me make more videos!

The problem with trading the extra Koraidon/Miraidon is that the one in your party can't be boxed and obviously it won't go in Home when it becomes avaiable. But at least you could always make another profile and get another one.

[@simonteesdale9752]

There's a duplication glitch that will put a copy of the ride legendary in your box. It's still untradable though.

[@mvv700]

You can link 2 seperate profiles to the same pokemon home account?

The best part about making koridion or miridon is that you can nickname them. They been with you since the start they should deserve a nickname. I called my toothless.

was using this vid to find where Iron thorns was, went to second research station, and immediately found a full odds shiny iron bundle(no shiny charm yet)! he was the shiny I wanted most of the violet paradox pokes

[@Langey_Fitness]

I've had three wild shinies as I've freely played this game and that feeling never gets old. Some really good ones, too. Marill, sableye, pawmi. I've only ever had one or two if that in every other main line game without farming.

[@n9nedots]

I’ve been playing this game for over 20 years and I have never seen a shiny once. And I always drop at least 2k hours a game. Gen 3 Ive dropped a cool 20k+ hours so far in my life and not a single accidental shiny 😭

[@robbe2647]

@@n9nedots similar situation here, although i highly doubt i've put nearly as much time into the series as you have. Only got one shiny before Gen 9 and it was the guaranteed Shiny Gyarados in Heartgold's Lake of Rage. Now i have 2 full odds shinies in Violet, and i APPARENTLY let another one slip by me? Edit: 5 of them now, and i figured out what might have happened to the one that "slipped by". The game counts a shiny evolving as another "shiny battled" on your trainer card. It was a Dunsparce... which i evolved to Dudunsparce.

[@dabobthorton6169]

I’ve encountered a wild shiny mankey in Violet randomly. I was gliding over a plains area coming from a mountain and decided to just drop and run instead. I landed in front of a group mankeys and all of them turned around. I was about to pull off and stopped and was like “yo are one of these monkeys green or am I tripping?” Lo n behold it was a shiny! Found him and gastly naturally.

Iron Valiant is actually pretty easy to catch with Encounter Power: Fairy. The entire last area that is like a cave system, leading up to the lab, was full of Iron Valiants for me.

[@Jadeshinyhunter22]

This in area zero proved a problem for me and my other half, like you said we couldn't see each other and I was only able to catch two of his version exclusives. I've read that if you stand in the same spot and lure a pokemon to you after encounter, all players will become visible

This is factual. My friend and I had to do this twice yesterday or We'd look for what the other person wanted and then describe exactly where we were.

You can tell how much effort you put int your videos man. You are a Legend for always making these for the community.

[@Regunes]

I find it much easier to get iron thorn with this method. TP at observatory 3 Go forward, right above the giant cave in front of you. There should be a slope down and another slope (Rocky this time) that leads to a river in front of you. *Iron thorn spawns around the Tree in between those Slopes* and you can basically move in "8" around that tree back n forth. In fact I find it so reliable I just use them to farm Atk EV by crit catching them with rapid ball and sending them in Mystery Trade online. Because why move around the map when I can complete my pokedex by catching Epic Machine creatures and hopefully make a handful of kid happy to get a Mecha-Tyrannitar for their Magikarp.
