[@monodramatic_]

another interesting thing about shinies in gen 2, the values that determined if your pokemon is shiny were the same one that determined what letter unown was. those values would become iv values later on, and the only letters you could get shiny were i and v.

[@Sanguine_Jackson]

damn bruh

[@PtylerBeats]

That’s crazy

[@PrettyFungi]

Damn what a weird coincidence because correct me if I’m wrong, but isnt the shiny determined on the IV values from the Gen 1 games?

[@Flaming_Rok]

@@PrettyFungi The IV system from Gens 1 and 2 are one in the same to allow trading between the two once the time machine is active. Essentially, the Attack IV determines gender and despite there being the Special Split for Sp. Attack and Sp. Defense, they both share one IV in the Special IV.

[@Bengt2509]

I ALSO COMMENTED THIS LOL (I didn’t know you already commented this so sorry for kinde of copying you)

[@OliverMKP]

The Gen 5 intro shiny Mincchino so interesting! The reason why that is possible is actually because GF wanted to use an animated sprite for the intro's Pokemon for the first time instead of a static picture like the gens before! And instead programming one just for the intro, they copied the animation of a wild encounter Mincchino! That means each Mincchino in the intro gets the shiny roll any wild encounter Mincchino would get as well. It also rolls nature and IV's, even tho we will never know which ones since it's the Professor's one! Just thought it might interest a few as to why it's possible to be shiny in the intro. Another great video, Phin!!

There was a massive club of people on tumblr who passed around non-shiny eggs to matching shiny ID people (it was really easy to help people find their IDs to participate as hatchers). It was insane. So many competitive eggs got passed around. This happened in the X/Y era iirc.

[@Quiet-Winter]

I know this is an old comment, but I decided to open my old X/Y game(s); I recieved 4 of these eggs in a trade and had no idea wtf it was about! Even though I played heavily at the time of their drop, I must have stopped when this became a thing. I was extremely confused by it and I'm glad you left an explanation!

Unfortunately, the manaphy egg is most likely shiny locked. Gen 8 changed the egg mechanics so that trading doesn’t affect the shiny value. If you obtain an egg that would hatch shiny in sword and shield, then trade it away, it will still be shiny

I've got a good fact for you, Rhydon is actually NOT the first Pokémon. That spot goes to Diglett, as one of the designers actually drew Diglett since they were a child, and just used the design for a Pokemon. That means Diglett is the first Pokemon in every literal sense

Not trying to be that guy, but technically it would make it the first Pokemon DESIGN ever made. While Rhydon would still be the first Pokemon created since the design was created with the purpose of being a Pokemon instead of just being a fun design that was later used for a Pokemon. For clarity, the original design wasn't given the name Diglett until Pokemon was created and by then Rhydon was already designed and named.

That Egg hunt thing could actually work with a DNS server exploit that was found a few years back. It works on Gens 4 and 5 (5 tends to be much easier to set up) and actually gives you access to old Wi-Fi events.

[@fowyingahviyiff1878]

I can only imagine how hard some of these must have been to find. The female starter not being shiny in gen 2 was something I had to learn the hard way spending so long hunting chikorita. I looked up videos of hunting the gen 2 starters and heard someone mention it, it became very useful when I started resetting after seeing its gender.

[@MAP233224]

The Nature-Back Sprite Animation relationship is only present in Diamond and Pearl (not Platinum, not HGSS). And it's not about the speed stat, it's about the name of the Nature (the character, personality) to put it simply. The groups are: Fast (1): Hardy, Brave, Adamant, Naughty, Impish, Jolly, Hasty, Naive. Normal (2): Bold, Docile, Relaxed, Lax, Serious, Rash, Calm, Sassy, Quirky. Slow (3): Lonely, Timid, Modest, Mild, Quiet, Bashful, Gentle, Careful. And the 1-2-3/fast-normal-slow groups aren't the actual time it takes to complete the animation, but rather the "excitement level" of the animation.

[@BlueBoyPhin]

Thanks for pointing this out! Appreciate it!

[@cursedGalataea]

9:09 you never heard of Shiny PID trading? That was common on X&Y when perfect IV breeding became much easier and you could hack your game PID much easier on the 3DS. A lot of people would go on trading boards when they bred a perfect pokemon that wasn't shiny and needed someone else to hatch it shiny for them.

[@shyshadow3745]

The natures in Diamond/Pearl/Platinum effecting the speed of how fast the pokeball is thrown out makes me wonder how it effects speed running. While it is a minor difference that can add up overtime and can maybe effect overall time in a glitchless run. It makes me wonder how many of the top runners for these games had +Speed natures for their main Pokémon

[@lucasgarcia8285]

I doubt the speed bonus for throwing out doesn’t make up for stat damage bonus which is why most people run X set. Like you’re not going to save time if you have to two shot something instead of one shot bc you wanted your throw out time to be faster.

“Especially after they did away with event Pokémon that took you to whole new locations after Gen 4” Did you forget Liberty Garden with Victini in Black and White? But I totally agree, I really hope they bring it back with new games, and I’m glad they have done the Shaymin event in BDSP

[@CybernetCatgirl]

I have bad news over the Manaphy egg shuffle hunt. In Sword and Shield, and in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl based on code leaks, eggs that would hatch as shiny for their original trainer will hatch shiny for any other trainer, and more importantly for this hunt, eggs that would not hatch as shiny for their original trainer would not hatch as shiny for anyone else, either. So if the Manaphy egg is shiny locked, there will be no way to hunt it in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.

[@kd1134]

Hey stop ending the Pokémon scammer I want to trade someone a lvl 1 magicarp

[@The_Viridian]

I have been hunting Manaphy for three years. I've gone over 11k hatches without a shiny, which sucks because this is the last mon you want to go over odds on. Regardless, I think the BDSP egg will be shiny locked no matter what, since they changed how eggs are created in gen 8 I think? So now when its shiny on one file, it will be shiny on all files, and same with non shinies. Anyways, great video!

[@Suntaile]

The shiny hunt is very similar to how people found guaranteed shinies back in Gen 6 in X and Y or it was in Sword and Shield who worked like that. There was some sort of ID resetting of the eggs that made you be able to keep resetting it with others to ensure you get the ID correct to make it a shiny.

The speedrunner Werster cleared up the nature thing in DPPt! It’s not necessarily determined by + or - Speed, but each Pokémon having 3 different animation groups that a selection of natures fall into.

I can link the tweet to source if you need

If you use the walk through walls cheat, and check the side of the TV, it says "Oops, wrong side!" Which is what happens in R/B/Y Also, you made the point that it was only Gen 2 had that shiny set up.. however, Gen 1 Pokémon CAN be shiny, and it is also based on stats. While you can't see the shininess of the Pokémon if they are shiny in the Gen 1 games, you can trade them to Gen 2 and they will indeed be shiny.

Although to be fair if you could trade an egg for another egg and others had what was clearly manaphy eggs in the online services, I'd be willing to try cycling through eggs that way... if it's confirmed possible. At the very least I'll store the egg and not hatch it till it is confirmed.

[@shytendeakatamanoir9740]

Werster actually commented on that, and apparently it's not Speed related but Nature related. So Chimchar can have a short entrance in one Nature,but Infernape will have a long entrance for the same Nature. Or vice versa. And apparently it's also on Emerald in some way, if I got this right.

2:14 "For whatever reason" As someone who knows quite a bit about Gen 2 mechanics determined by IVs let me explain. A Pokémon was shiny if its Defense, Speed, and Special IVs were all 10, and its Attack IV was either 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14, or 15. A female Pokémon of a species with a gender ratio of 7M:1F could only have an Attack IV of 0 or 1, and thus not be shiny.

The first WiFi Event in Pokémon Black & White gives you the special item, the Liberty Pass, which gives you access to a special area in Unova where you will find the Pokémon Victini in the wild. This allows you to capture Victini and is the only way to obtain it.

I'll never forget this, but when my brother and I were kids, we just found out about shiny Pokémon and when my brother tried to find one in Ruby Version, he encountered a brown zubat and panicking used his master ball on it thinking it was a shiny zubat. We were so excited until it said it was just "sunburnt".

5:00 This place also only has Bug Type encounters. This is a nod to how many bugs and glitches there were in the original Pokemon Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow.

Can't wait to hear if anyone ever got the shiny Manaphy
