Can You Catch a SHINY Pokemon WITHOUT COLOR in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet?

Finding shiny pokemon in Scarlet and Violet has been a breeze, but what if you set your switch display settings to greyscale? In this video I try to get one of my dream shinies without being able to see any colors!
Thank you for watching and if you have any video suggestions, do tell! I'm all ears :)
Also shoutout to ‪@Nokimon‬ who did the same challenge in PLA!

Shiny Finizen was the first ever Finizen I encountered, so I had no idea that wasn’t the colour it was supposed to be. Thankfully I didn’t run past it and figure I could pick one up later, the sparkles were a big surprise!

[@Ch1cken6]

Lucky i ran past a shiny toedscool not knowing until i saw the regular

[@BeanKally]

That happened to me with Frigibax I ran past it Rip shiny Frigibax-

[@Silentgrace11]

That’s how it happened with my shiny Bonsly lol. Me, squinting: “I’ve seen Sudowoodo in this game so I know you’re not a region variant. You’re not an actual fucking tree so I don’t think you’re a seasonal variant?” Just me casually in denial, coming up with all the reasons why it can’t be a shiny before I finally encounter it 😂

[@Kawaiitwo]

Same thing happened with Espathra for me. I wanted to catch it because I hadn’t seen the Pokémon before and I thought it looked cool, and it was shiny! Used her on my team for the rest of the game, named her Cleo.

[@eeveeblazelol]

saying “sparkling water sandwich” makes it sound like an unholy amalgamation created by pouring sparkling water on a sandwich

[@AngelicGuardian36905]

Shiny hunting in this game is hard in general due to the fact that there is no shiny sound but you upped the difficulty to 11, major respects

[@ShinyCatherine]

it really is tough lol and thank you!!

[@pluto7996]

Unless you’re color blind this is the easiest shiny hunting game there has ever been. A sandwhich and charm basically guarantees at least one shiny unless you miss it

[@giwrgostragoulias7981]

[@otherworldly273]

the omori picnic heal sound playing during the little part with legends arceus genuinely triggered some sort of fight or flight response within me

[@chamomileeeee]

The transition from Violet to PLA was so good!!

[@TokitoisW]

Fr I'd was going to comment that but I saw

[@bigbadgammagnome]

I hate how the shinies can immediately blip out of existence in this game 😞 (it doesnt work that way in Legends Arceus, I checked) I lost a shiny Foretress because of that, literally showed up for a few frames but then moved out of range before I could get to it and just disappeared into the ether

[@bigbadgammagnome]

Although to be fair, much like in this video, it did not take much longer for another shiny to pop up that I actually did manage to catch

[@yingthefbi]

I agree, I lost a shiny todescool that I saw only for a few frames aswell

[@moniquea2257]

Idk about the arceus thing, in my game i found a shiny buizel in an area i couldn’t get to yet (near Alpha Floatzel), and i kept checking as i progressed and it stayed, but as soon as I gained access, it disappeared.

[@cabinboycott]

@beepy beep shining sandwich recipes are locked behind post game, you need to do 5 star tera raids to get herba mystica, then you need to talk to a guy in every which way who will give you recipes for them

[@lappisvg]

i’ve only started getting random shiny pokemon recently (with legends arceus and violet) and i’ve never done a hunt until recently (for a shiny pawmi) and i was actually inspired by your videos to start! so thank you for inspiring me to start shiny hunting

[@ShinyCatherine]

Dude that makes me so happy knowing I inspired you to shiny hunt omg 🥹 thank you and happy hunting!

[@lappisvg]

@@ShinyCatherine thank you so much! i can’t wait to see your next *shining* endeavors!

[@MrCat1151]

I saw the finizin because I noticed it was darker

[@stupidlegoproductions]

random shinies can be the worst and the best. i got a random shiny Pidgey in LGPE being the first encounter after booting up, but i also found a shiny Hippopotas in scarlet, which is a shiny i already have in Ultra moon

[@IShy2]

My first random shiny in Pokemon Violet was a Gastly (named it "Shroud") In Pokemon Sword, it was a Cutiefly (named it "Redbombee", and I evolved it) In Pokemon Ultra Sun....... It was a wormhole Magcargo (but wormhole = gonna happen, and it's lost to time anyway) Pokemon Brilliant Diamond, I got a shiny Starly while trying to radar hunt for a shiny Sentret, the next time I turn on Brilliant Diamond, I'm thinking about wonder trading the Starly to someone else, I don't really want her (named the Starly "Pipp", and I named the Sentret "Gold Heart", I only evolved the Sentret) In Pokemon Let's Go Eevee, I got a completely random shiny Psyduck, and the funny thing is that, this happened about 20 or 30 minutes after I found the shiny Nickit I was hunting for on my Pokemon Sword (named the Psyduck after the water starter of Paldea, "Quaxly", and I named the Nickit "Cookie") The only other shiny I got right now is a Golett I evolved into Golurk, it was my first ever shiny hunt and I did it in Pokemon Sword (I named it "Lucky", which is quite ironic because it's ability was Klutz)

[@hedgeyplays]

The lucky bidoof part tho ❤

[@TtlerWroight-od6hr]

Yesssssssss

[@Shin_Aniki]

I initially wasn't going to use finizen on my team, but there was an outbreak one day and I said why not. I found a shiny one within 5 minutes and used it for the rest of my playthrough as a palafin

[@dolphindance1067]

You found more shines while grayscale shiny hunting then I do when I shiny hunt normally. 🤣It took me too long to find my shiny Finizen.

[@cherrimisu]

When someone you know has monochromation and this is just normal game play for them... I so wish the overworld shinies sparkled

Gonna be completely transparent. The shiny hunting part for me is the least impressive thing about this video (EVEN THOUGH ITS TOTALLY AMAZING) and i say that because EVERYTHING ELSE IS SOO TOP F*CKING NOTCH! THE TRANSITION FROM SV TO LA AND BACK! THE WHOLE BIDOOF SKIT, THE SUBTLE COMEDY. MAAM....THIS IS THEEEE MOST PERFECT POKEMON VIDEO IVE EVER SEEN! SOO MUCH FREAKIN HEART!

The legends arceus bit was so well done, it's crazy

[@Nightstormshadow1]

Glad they have a safeguard so you don't accidently KO a shiny with your Pokemon out attacking

[@SylveonIsTheBestThingEver]

Literally the finizen thing happened to me, I found a shiny finizen and failed it because I built up too much momentum and found another one very fast

[@arcanelizard4646]

I love videos like this, because it basically shows people what it’s like for me to shiny hunt. With how colorblind I am, I refuse to trust my eyes for the subtle shinies. I can’t see them, so I assume it’s a trick of the lighting, or a wacky reflection, or something. Even some that people say are incredibly obvious are exactly the same to me. Jolteon? Can’t tell. Popplio? Nearly impossible, I just got lucky. Garchomp and Gengar? I can look at them forever, nothing will change. They are exactly the same as the normal forms, and my brain cannot be convinced otherwise. It makes hunting extremely discouraging, because in my mind I know I’ve probably passed up a hundred shinies by now simply because I can’t see them, and that makes me not enjoy shiny hunting in this game. I still do it, because apparently I hate myself a lot more than I give myself credit for, but man it’s hard to stay motivated to hunt things like Torchic knowing full well that my eyes are actively deceiving me the entire time

[@joannechoi8476]

Loved the video! I have to ask though: do you simply prefer the look of quick balls over dive balls? I think throwing a dive ball could have worked out too, considering Finizen is encountered in the water; and I think the dive ball matches the colors better...

[@ShinyCatherine]

I just have a habit of using the quick ball on every shiny I get! But I agree- I shoulda used a dive ball lol

[@ninjacupquake974]

@@ShinyCatherine through my time in the S/V wiki it seems as though a lot of people only want apriball shinies. I didnt understand why at first but I understand why now.
