How To Get & Not Fail Shiny Pokemon in Pokemon Legends Arceus

[@AustinJohnPlays]

This is going to be a VERY specific use-case. But you CAN have a Shiny Pokemon despawn due to weather or the day/night cycle. How to prevent losing it: twitter.com/AustinJohnPlays/status/1488675526520844293

so to summarize: the more complete the pokedex page is, the higher the odds of finding it's shinny, got it. I think this game also made shinny hunting easier even if you just normally play the game, I mean yeah the regular rate is 1:4096 pokemon BUT there's more pokemon on screen, there's also a sound alert when a shinny is on the field, this makes all the difference when previously you had to just hope for random encounters.

[@AustinJohnPlays]

The whole basis of the game is to complete the first ever pokedex, and the fact that it's not just a CHARM at the end, but you actually get little boosts to shiny chances along the way is IMO fantastic.

Agreed, I was thinking that I didn't really have to do anything else after getting the "complete" thing on a pokemones page. Now I know I actually should complete all of the dex and I might focus on doing the easier stuff before moving onto the next area now. I wish it wouldn't say that the dex entry for the Pokemon is complete if technically you have to actually complete the dex entry to get the shiny charm.

I have found out something pretty neat. You can force spawn mass outbreaks by entering and leaving the main continent of Hisui. You just keep entering and leaving until the NPC at the gate’s dialogue has changed, and then head for the outbreak. And since the outbreaks give you 25 re-rolls, that’s a consistent 1/158 chance before Dex completion. I have already found two shinies this way!

I just had my first outbreak and it was Eevee. I didn't expect a shiny in the bunch but went towards it seeing as I needed more Eevee. I was tired of force spawning two or three and I am still early in the game, just crossed the bridge in the obsidian feilds. I went towards the outbreak and found a greyish Eevee in the middle of five after I hid in the grass. I thought it was a weird lighting glitch since I had a few glitches so far and it didn't make a noise or sparkle. After I was surprised to see it was a shiny, I quickly threw a mushroom cake near it and as it started munching, I snuck closer. I accidentally scared it so I immediately dove away to have a better chance to have it stay. When it came closer again, I threw another mushroom cake and threw a Great ball at it after it started munching again. Shiny boy has a bold nature.

[@AquamarineVaporeon]

I have a strategy for shiny hunting a specific species with outbreaks: 0. Make sure auto save is off 1. Go to a map with the outbreak you want and save in front of the professor 2. Go to the outbreak and encounter every Pokémon 3. If you encounter a shiny, congrats. End this cycle 4. If you didn’t encounter a shiny and the outbreak ends, turn the game off and reload 5. Talk to the professor and go back to Jubilife 6. Check if the outbreak is still there. If not, turn off your game and go back to step 5 7. If the outbreak is still the same species, go back to step 1 and rinse and repeat

[@miruku6939]

Can you keep knocking out the Pokemon and wait until a Shiny spawns? I’ve saved in front of the outbreak itself and it disappears at dawn all the time, I’m at like my 5th reload now.

[@AquamarineVaporeon]

@@miruku6939 No, each day the spawns are preset. That’s why you have to go back to jubilife to reload the spawns. Conversely, if you fail a shiny, you can just reload that day and the shiny will still be there. Don’t save in the middle of an outbreak though, reloading that will make the outbreak end.

Because I was fishing, I also fished up a shiny Magikarp, and was so excited because I thought it was full odds. Now, I know it wasn’t full odds and I’ve caught about 10 more the same way.

What I like is that as you're trying to do the Pokédex pages you have a chance to see it as a shiney during the process.

I just simply can't believe how everything seems to be so perfect. The dream Pokémon game. Thank you Austin!

[@KingSally]

Dude I cannot wait until tonight to get the midnight release! I have had so much fun watching all your vids!

[@totallyrealfairy]

this game is gonna be so good for shiny hunts

[@keyman3131]

I am really glad to know that the 3 caves alphas are shiny locked, because I've been majorly stressing about trying to grind out one of them as a shiny. Took forever to find this video again but I finally have confirmation now so thank you 😭

[@bcav712]

I love this dude because he actually pronounces Arceus the right way. The shiny rate in this game is great. Not too high but also not impossible. Got myself a bunch of shinies in this game, it's so fun!

[@kevonharvey4592]

Just caught a shiny zubat couple hours ago it was unexpected, never ran the zubat line before so he’s a nice addition to the team

[@evinstover9334]

my crobat was so OP and huge it was insane, definitely a good member to the team

[@darknesswave100]

A Crobat is really powerful with cross poison and x scissor. Mine was shredding everything

[@kevonharvey4592]

@@darknesswave100 I legit just perfected his stats yesterday

[@xAuraNinja]

Hands down the most helpful person on shiny hunting every Thank you for the tips

[@troopproductions7774]

Got a shiny just from playing the game normally, was just on the way to kleavor!

[@Landoor]

Same!!

[@Bubs-jd3fu]

Love how at 3:16 he goes look he’s sleeping then starts to talk quietly like it’s going to wake him

5:12 no one gonna mention that Mr Mime just cracked a cold one and chilled in a chair, these new animations are amazing sometimes

[@Embtic]

I finally got Shiny justice for my uncatchable sentret at the beginning of Silver and uncatchable poochyena from Emerald; the first Bidoof herd that Akari used to show you how to check dex mission requirements had a shiny. It was beautiful

[@HatshepsutVaro]

Thanks for this video! I am just playing it and I got a Starly but it flew 😭

[@TimeDestroyer9]

Level 10 dex and outbreak seems really good especially how we are encouraged casually to catch and use pretty much everything

[@yokoyakamori6589]

So far I have only found a shiny Drifloon in the wild while trying to find a Dusclops for a mission. Hope to see more during my run. Found an outbreak of Ralts and snagged a shiny from that, so that makes two shinies now.

[@Blackclaw1000]

5:22 The Animation of Pantimos is Hilarious :D remember me on Detective Pikachu

[@calamityvalley3491]

I feel like there’s gonna be a dlc at the end of the year just by looking at the map 🗺 I have a strong feeling

I accidentally released my Dewott

Aww I’m sorry that happened

Skill issue

[@lisaburrell2391]

I just want to say that I had difficulties learning Legends Arceus but thanks to you I figured it out. You explained it so I understand it better so I want to thank you very much for your tutorial videos.

[@cornbeanz9045]

something thats probably worth noting (if you end up making another shiny method video) is that you cannot hard save when you get a shiny in a spacetime distortion, because when you reset your game the distortion clears, clearing all spawns in the distortion, including a potential shiny. this just happened to me with a shiny lickilicky unfortunately when i was under the impression that the spacetime distortion (and the shiny) would be there after a reset

[@jellojackalopes]

Thanks! I got a shiny Zorua, Zoroark, and Chatot! As for spotting shinies, one time I was flying over that cave with the Machop in Obsidian Fieldlands and heard the shiny sound. I spent a good few minutes scouring the area looking for that shiny before remembering there was a cave there lol. I did wind up catching it thankfully.
