Top 10 Worst Ways to Fail a Shiny Pokemon

My project of the last 3 weeks is finally finished! So, here it is! What I believe are the Top 10 WORST ways to fail a shiny Pokemon!
I'm taking suggestions for Top 10s and trivia videos too, so if you want to see something in particular, then let me know in the comments! If I end up making a video based on your comment then I'll feature it in the video! :D
I also implemented a lot of experimental editing techniques in this video (hence why it was in the making for so long) so please let me know what you think of it!
MASSIVE thank you to (in order of appearance) Elliot and Dallas for letting me use footage from their videos for this!

The first shiny I ever saw was a shiny Electrode in the power plant in Leaf Green. I was confused by it being blue on the bottom instead of red so I assumed my game had glitched. I restarted my GameBoy and was happy to click on the PokeBall on the ground to find a normal Electrode with red on the bottom, thinking that I fixed the glitch. I later looked up what might've caused that and learned all about shiny Pokemon, and I kicked myself for letting that one go without even knowing how rare it was.

I randomly found a shiny Sneazel and shiny Amoongus within an hour in Pokémon Scarlet, both at full odds while just making my way from the Ice gym to the Fighting Team Star hideout! Then a few minutes after catching the second shiny, the game crashed and Amoongus was gone for a moment, but luckily when I loaded the automatic backup save, it was back in my box.

I remember I was 5 and I just got Pokémon emerald. My uncle joe got me the game along with a grey GBA. My siblings got similar gifts. I remember him telling me about the Pokémon on the cover and if u ever see a black one throw the purple ball. He had also said the same thing to my sister who got sapphire. Sure enough I found the black rayquaza after really struggling in my first ever play through! I remember crying about the elite 4 and getting lost in the ocean.(I was young and didn’t save my progress a lot) Nevertheless I loved every minute of it. I forgot what exactly I got from him for catching it. Just the memory that started it all. I still have a backpack full of old gbas nintendo ds and every game from gen 1-4

I have another one. It's called "accidentally hitting the run button". I found a shiny Audino in Black, and was like "Why is this purple? I'll get it with a quick ball." Then I hit run instead of bag. Then I googled purple Audino and had my day ruined. And then a few years later, in Omega Ruby, random encounter shiny Audino. I choose to believe they are the same one

The two shinies at once issue can also happen in generation 4! In Eterna forest you can get double battle wild encounters, both of which can be shiny. if that wasn’t bad enough, often times the two shiny animations playing at once would cause the game to crash, losing both shinies.

I keep coming back to this video because I love the presentation and also because of the sympathy factor from watching the clips (I've personally never lost a Shiny, but I feel for others who have). I do have one story which, thankfully, has a happy ending, and it involves happening upon a Shiny Weezing in the Johto Safari Zone in Pokémon SoulSilver. I was playing the game on a bus, so I had to contain my excitement somewhat so I wouldn't embarrass myself in front of the other passengers, but I still gasped and my eyes widened the moment I saw the Shiny and my breathing got a little bit faster. I could feel my chest, shoulders and wrists quiver because this was the closest I had ever got to potentially losing a Shiny and I knew that there was every chance that this Safari Zone Shiny could escape at any turn. I can't remember what I did to ensure that the Shiny Weezing would be caught (I might have fed it once or twice), but what I do remember is catching it on either the first or second ball. I couldn't believe it! I thought I had to go through a few balls before one of two things would happen. I whispered a little "Yes!" under my breath and the Shiny Weezing is still sitting in my SoulSilver PC to this day.

What’s interesting for me is when I encountered my first shiny Pokémon.( It was a shiny makuhita in the caves of dearies island in Pokémon emerald.) I of course had no idea what it was. I thought to myself “did the game glitch or something?” But i actually caught it to show my friends who introduced me to Pokémon who told me it was a shiny. So I guess I have bragging rights because I didn’t mistake it for a glitch and showed it my friends. I’m Not belittling anyone of course because I totally understand the mistake.

[@BreakerGamerM31]

Well I only Encountered 1 shiny pokemon in my entire life

[@Kraiglyndor]

In Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald there is something known as Battery Glitch where when the battery on the cartridge runs out (Emerald is active by default because of a programmer error) the RNG gets fixed. This removes most of the random chance from finding a shiny. When a new game starts or the battery runs dry the shiny encounter is set to a specific frame (for this example we will say frame #10 out of 8042) that when you encounter a Pokémon on that frame the Pokémon has a 1/7 chance of being shiny. This means that, assuming 60 FPS, if you start the encounter at exactly 1/6th of a second after starting the game there is a high chance for a shiny. If you’re playing on Emerald or your cartridge says the battery is empty then finding the Poochyena means that there’s a high chance of finding a shiny if you keep resetting the exact same way. This also means that if the shiny frame is frame #540 then you have to wait 9 seconds to start the encounter or else there’s no chance of the Pokémon being shiny.

The most depressing shiny Pokémon I have ever failed is when I ran into a random shiny scyther, and managed to catch it in a quick ball, but then I closed my game and forgot to save.

[@ViridianPengo]

Funny story on running away from a shiny, back in X and Y I was looking for the low encounter rate hydraigon by Victory road. I was doing it for a good few hours and at one point I ran into a shiny fearow however by then I was not even paying attention that I hit run but just as I did I looked back at the game and saw that it was a shiny Fearow. Needless to say after that I stopped looking for the low encounter rate Hydraigon and definitely my biggest shiny loss I ever had.

[@GreaterGood258]

Here's one I'm sure some people have done, even if they don't know it: not realizing a pokemon is shiny in the first place. This can happen one of two ways: 1) a new player who doesn't know about shinies at all sees one, thinks, "oh, that's odd," and kills it/runs away. 2) you glance away long enough to miss the sparkles from a shiny that looks almost identical to its base appearance. Things like Seel, Elekid, or the Regice I'm currently staring at wondering if I should go through the trouble of catching it or just try again and hope I'm not making a mistake.
