[@Umbreon-ln7fe]

I'm actually at 5 encounters for the Pokemon channel Jirachi. I'm Australian so had the necessary games laying around and hoped to get lucky. Not actively hunting it but I make a point of trying anytime I finish a gen 3 game.

[@RadeticDaniel]

do let us know if you ever manage to get one \o/ That would be a cool video as well, seeing there is none to be found

[@ModestNeko]

So you can keep farming it from Pokemon Channel and don't have to beat that over and over too right?

[@kevincross709]

If you're really interested in hunting this thing there's a method of corrupting your game's save data that I'm currently using to hunt the wishmkr jirachi. I don't know for sure but I assume it'll also work for this. It's not rng manipulation or anything so it's still 1/8192 odds, but it cuts the reset time down to roughly 1 minute. The only problem is if you mess it up you run the risk of not being able to hunt jirachi on the save file anymore or just straight up deleting your save file, but if you have a way to back up/restore your save it shouldn't be an issue. There's a tutorial on how to do the save corruption by the domiNATION. (I would also recommend checking the comments on that video as there's a few ways to cut down the reset time that he doesn't cover)

[@ModestNeko]

@@kevincross709 I saw that video actually. I knew the risk of it deleting the save file but not being able to hunt it on it? Like, you delete the save file and it's fine on a new save on the same cartriage right? Apparently the odds are actually like 1 in 7,000 something. I did like 10 game resets for it before taking a break for now lol. That was before I saw the corruption method. Thank God for that as I keep getting destroyed by my rival from RNG *cries*

[@kevincross709]

@@ModestNeko When I said you can't hunt it on the save file anymore I was talking about corrupting the data but the you still having the jirachi, so if that happens yes, your cartridge if fine you just have to reset the save. Also I think I've heard about the ~1/7000 odds. I'm not sure if that's true but even if it is I'm almost certain it's just a quirk of the colosseum bonus disc and doesn't have anything to do with the save corruption.

Let's not forget Diglett or Dugtrio using Flying Z-Moves; the mound thing comes with them during the Supersonic Skystrike animation.

[@Fvckallofyou1]

yeah, and it even makes crumbly little dust blots behind it.

[@vulpony2130]

You can also show that by using copycat with a zoroark desgised as dig or dug after a mon used a move that needs leaving the ground such as sunsteel strike This also works in SwSh

[@lemonadogirl4082]

It's not just using Supersonic Skystrike, ANY Z-move whose backdrop has no ground (Hydro Vortex, Shattered Psyche, etc) will show Diglett/Dugtrio in that small clump of dirt, whether it's the user or the target.

[@joemck85]

For that matter, if you had a cheat device for Gameboy, you could teach them Fly and see how Stadium animates it. I don't recall trying this with a Diglett back then, but watching Snorlax flap its short little arms to fly was quite the sight.

[@Ryu_D]

It just occurred to me that diglett has a canon weight, so someone MUST have managed to put a diglett on a scale at some point, without the ground around it skewing the results. That means that at least one person has had the opportunity to see diglett's feet. It has to at least be possible. I mean, unless people went around making up random nonsense and adding it to the pokedex without any verification whatsoever. But it's not like we have countless pokedex entries spouting complete nonsense that could bring this into question. Right? XP

[@RadeticDaniel]

maybbe they measured a block of ground dirt, set it off in a digglet transfer zone and measured again haha digglet does have that mole/worm vibe to it never comming off the ground

[@Crumbvee]

I’m just curious, would saving the game before beating it, obtaining the jirachi and checking if it’s shiny, then reloading the save back to before you beat it then replaying pokemon channel and sending over another jirachi not work? I don’t really know anything about how save files work lol

[@BlacktopJumpshot68]

@@Crumbvee yeah i think that's the strat, idek how pokemon channel saves data, can you reload the game with it not saving?

[@SomeGuy712x]

One thing hilarious with Diglett and Dugtrio is that you can legitimately have them use Fly in the Pokémon Stadium games via Mimic, and since they can learn Aerial Ace for some reason, they can use Supersonic Skystrike in the Alola games. The moles take a chunk of the ground with them while airborne, and it is awesome.

[@Vu1turEMaN]

Thank you, I was trying to remember how I saw this in Stadium before.

[@DoctorNovakaine]

Aerial Ace is one of those 'lost in translation' things. The move name in Japanese is "Swallow Return" and is based on folklore of a legendary swordsman, Sasaki Kojirō, who had a technique called the "Swallow Cut." The move never actually requires flying, but reputedly resembles a swallow's tail in flight, so that's probably why it got the Flying-type designation.

The "good" thing about the Jirachi thing is that you don't need to beat Channel more than once

[@tuxedobird]

Diglett actually has even more features than you mentioned, in newer gens they still keep up with this insane charade. In gen 6+ if Diglett uses any moves that make him go up, he’ll either bring a chunk of ground up with him or will do the move grounded, his flying Z-Move even makes the camera specifically angle to avoid showing his bottom half

[@BeasEasel]

If I've done the math correctly, if someone spent all their time hunting Jirachi (12 hours a day, assuming they're gonna sleep/eat/etc for the other 12 hours) and each Ruby/Sapphire playthrough took 4 hours as you said, it would take over 7 years before they went over odds.

Maybe legendary/mythic pokemon are designed before their chosen to be event mythic pokemon. So for example, they initially designed Jirachi like any other pokemon, like a evolution of Chimco that can be obtained in the wild and it would come with a star piece. But late in development they realized it's their most charismatic well designed cute pokemon that can work as a legendary.

[@kevinr.9733]

That would almost make sense if it had a Star Piece in R/S/E, but not so much for HG/SS, by which time it's mythical status was well defined. -And given that Jirachi has identical base stats to Mew and Celebi, the previous generations' mythical Pokémon, it seems likely that they knew exactly what they were planning to do with it when they designed it.-

[@jukeyard]

​@@kevinr.9733 Your comment is a year old and I'm a little sorry, but designers have almost 0 say what happens with the mon as far as name, dex entry, and stats go -- they can make suggestions, but the teams are entirely separate. This is why Vikavolt LOOKS fast and its Dex entry SAYS its fast but its speed stat is ass

[@gemcarry6072]

For wishmaker jirachi, you can actually corrupt your save data at a specific point in a new save file and be able to simply load a prior save due to the corruption from before obtaining the jirachi. this is an oversimplification of how it works, but I imagine that something similar could be thought out for pokemon channel jirachi. that would make hunting it much easier.

[@Hi_Ryyydrums]

Honestly that Jirachi fact is really interesting, I think it'd be really cool to watch a big group of shiny hunters work together to uncover to break down the odds and uncover this shiny. There's definitely a good amount of dedicated hunters that would probably try this a few times so if enough people did it the odds could definitely get better not individually but as a whole. But it's still obviously not guaranteed but seeing a group experiment like that in this community would be so fucking cool imo

As far as the shiny Jirachi goes, my older brother and I had a Pokémon Colosseum bonus disc that you can trade a jirachi over to a basically new save file for gen III. This can be shiny and doesn’t require any excessive time… I’m certain shiny Jirachi is difficult to get but not as difficult as the method you mentioned

[@elliotgale]

the shiny jirachi thing is WILD, i really hope someone achieves it someday because i would love to see that

[@dowottboy5889]

I do have everything needed to get that Jirachi... I think there's technically also an exploit that allows you to reset so that the game forgets that you ever got the Jirachi, making it as if you didn't save, but it's very risky and can result in a lost save file if done incorrectly so like... yeah. That's also how people typically hunt for the Wishmaker Jirachi that comes with the Colosseum bonus disc, however that one doesn't require you to beat the league, you can just get it whenever, as soon as you have the Pokédex, so if you lose your save file while hunting for that one, it'll only set you back a couple minutes, and not like 4 hours.

[@omegatutumon]

Back in the day I explicitly remember the colosseum way and boy was i excited at learning that jirachi wasn’t shiny locked bc it’s one of my most favorite Pokémon. But I still didn’t do the grind for it bc I thought waiting a few minutes for my Pokédex each time was too long apparently.

@@KikinCh1kin That's an "anime" moment if I've ever heard one, just because a character's eyes pop out of their head when they're surprised or they run in place before they fall doesn't mean that's how it works in real life

[@SUPERMA5TER]

To explain further: The anime is not real, in the literal sense. It's based off of Ash/Red's journey. In RBY, you are playing the events of Ash's journey that the anime bases how the story went. In GSC, you are playing as a new person who theoretically is keeping up with the anime and Ash, because you run into Red at the end of the game. We know that the game starts off with your rival as "???", so if that were the case that your character didn't recognize Red from the anime, when you battle him he would also be ???. So the anime is not literally real, it's a rendition of the events that Ash went through.

[@kirby7775]

With Zoroark in a double battle you can make any Pokemon look like it's using any move with copycat. Making Diglett use a move like Sunsteel Strike makes a section of the ground rise into the air with it.

[@Whty360]

I know it's hard to prove without footage, but my best friend at the time actually got the red Jirachi off of Pokemon Channel when it was first released. The worst part? We'd never seen a Jirachi at the time so we didn't think it was rare until I got mine from my own copy, and we spent years not knowing which was which, by the time we realised the cartridge was long gone

[@dakotadye6206]

I think it's pretty believable tbh. I those are the odds, with the sheer number of people who played the game it makes sense at least one person has to have caught it.

[@taimunozhan]

In the Battle Dome (the 16-trainer tournament) from the Battle Frontier in Emerald there's a referee that is only summoned if a player vs CPU battle ends in a draw (for instance, if either trainer knocks outs the last rival Pokémon but also loses their own last Pokémon to recoil damage). It is not exactly clear how he determines which player advances to the following round.

[@siggyxlegiit]

If I remember right, I have three demo discs from toys r us when my sister worked there and I can get a jirachi onto any game file, one per copy. Also shiny zigzagoons lol they were called “demo disc #” and I think I have like numbers 11,14,16 or something. Still have them to this day :)

[@SemiHypercube]

Another example of Game Freak not wanting to pull Diglett out of the ground is the move Telekinesis. It's a somewhat obscure move that makes the target ungrounded and makes moves used against it ignore accuracy checks. That is, unless the Pokemon in question is Diglett, Dugtrio, Sandygast, Palossand, or Mega Gengar, in which case the move will fail.

Another great video! One thing I wanted to mention about diglett with it only being on the ground. Funny enough for a while in Pokemon GO when you evolved diglett into dugtrio, it would rise into the air like every other pokemon and you can see the flat bottom part of ground. However this got fixed I think kinda recently so now when you evolve diglett in GO, it is the only Pokemon to remain on the ground. Also for the Pokemon Channel Jirachi, similar to the Colosseum Bonus Disc Jirachi, you might not have to play through the entire ruby and sapphire game each time to get an encounter with it. There is a way you can corrupt your save file to load up the backup save for your ruby or sapphire game and you can load the backup save before you received the jirachi in game. However this is a chance this just deletes your save file or the backup save is simply after you received jirachi so Idk if going for that would be worth it either way 😂

[@firstnamelastname8006]

I’ve went through Emerald hell once. I ain’t doing it again for a shiny Jirachi. Context. I was given a fake Emerald version when I was younger and it would reset my game constantly. If I beat the Elite 4 and champion a second time, reset. Sometimes if I take the cartridge off my Gameboy or DS, it’ll reset. So I would play Emerald, again, again, and again. I used to be really patient when I was younger. I could switch train the level 5 magikarp to level 20 without complain. Now, I’m very impatient lol. Also, I found a shiny taillow once near Rustburrow, and assumed it always spawned there. So I’d always shiny hunt it. ALWAYS. The Hoenne region was my purgatory.

I'd like to add to the Diglett trivia: In Gens 1 and 3, it can learn Mimic, and if you transfer it to a Gen 8 game (possibly 6 and 7 too), if you have it mimic a move that requires the user to go up into the air, like Flying Press, Sunsteel Strike, etc., the Diglett will ascend in the move's animation, but not without a huge chunk of the ground that serves no purpose other than to conceal what's beneath it.

[@Hero_of_Sinnoh]

That sponsor transition actually got me, best way to slide it in.

[@shakeyoulikehaiti]

I'm not even mad at that smooth transition into your sponsor lol.

[@eeveefennecfox]

I'm surprised not even the most dedicated shiny hunters haven't tried to get the shiny jirachi

[@akitsuki3802]

Well, so much for Jirachi being the rarest shiny in the world. The things Pokémon Go does.

[@Severiel2]

the research is actually really time consuming so I think it will still remain on the rarer side

[@hayleequarles]

Not me thinking “huh, I feel like I would have remembered seeing that book in the BDSP library during my play through” you really had me there sir

[@ThatWolfWizard]

8:20 I was not expecting to hear Sin and Punishment music here lol

[@FollowMe4REP]

And I wasn’t expecting Sonic Unleashed tunes. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

[@Tubahater43]

I was going to sub because of how smooth that ad read transition was, but I'm already subbed lol

[@misssniperella]

I actually saw the park ball glitch, either yesterday or the day before watching a randomizer of Gold version where items items you pick up were randomized

[@Nowaydardo]

I think the most mind-blowing aspect of this video is seeing my first ever Honkai sponsored video. Seriously, I don’t think anyone else gets sponsored by them for this game and not Genshin

[@prestonjohnson5664]

That was the smoothest ad transition known to mankind, fair play

[@aappaapp6627]

I will never get tired of the dramatic, downright poetic, wording of the penultimate fact and then the last one being minute and trivial 😂😂

[@shwm19]

One of the best intros to a sponsor I've seen :D

[@screweduptx512]

That diglett and dugtrio fact in the Pokeathelon is insanely funny. I must have played that millions of times and never saw that

[@topazmaymemory2982]

You are basically the poketuber i watch anymore. And the only poke trivia channel

[@tyecollins4240]

Y'know, I was about to fast forward past the sponsor. Then I saw Pardofelis. I quickly rewinded to the start of the sponser section. As a honkai veteran, I see honkai, I watch.

[@brentus86]

The last line made me laugh. “You knew what you were getting into!” It reminded me of my favourite line from Airplane!

[@thatlaxbro]

That ad integration was solid, subscribed

[@jonathanhart2829]

That ad placement was smooth af.

[@andreaalbertotoniolo576]

01:48 best way to introduce a sponsor lol great video btw much love xoxo

[@MarcHartway]

That was slick for your sponsor part, only one I haven’t gotten mad at 👏🏾 🤣

[@zionstellaris5390]

Phin talking about the sponsor of the vid: The combat is super fun Me: Hoho you sure about that?

[@Dragonstorm1234]

Shellder on the sprite is missing it's right eye, not it's left (sorry that was bugging me)
