this reminds me of how i’m convinced i was the first person to obtain a shiny yamper. preordered sword on the eshop and started playing as soon as it came out. literally the first pokémon i find in the grass once you get balls was a shiny yamper. caught it and used it for the whole playthrough, it was to the point where serebii didn’t even have the shiny sprite for shiny yamper, i’m sure there’s a possibility i wasn’t the first but i was definitely close

Nice and most likely I haven't gotten any shiney from Sword and Shield but I want a shiney ponyta lol

[@seansmith877]

We usually just either have mods watching who keeps upping a counter on each attemp or how I do it which is just download a counter app on my phone and tap the screen each time an encounter happens, currently at around 400-500 for a shiny lapras using maseuda method in shield. I don't do shiny hunting on KZbin or anything but I might on my twitch one day but it'll be in a year or so if I ever do

Dallas went over 70k resets for shiny Registeel, that was nuts. Now, Taylor is getting his numbers up there for his shiny Bitzle/Zebstrika hunt, I've sat in on quite a bit of his streams with no action happening & yet, I still throw channel points on betting he will find a shiny. Last I saw, he was in the later part of the 50ks. He's triple hunting but doing so in the double encounter grass so it's insane that he still doesn't have a shiny, don't know if he'll ever pass your number but suppose we'll see. I sat in on Dallas' streams for Registeel & I did not think he was going to get into 70k range but he did so anything is possible.

[@Strashky]

bro stop throwing those numbers, ive been hunting rowlet on moon since launch and im 24k SRs in and every reset i just tell myself its impossible to not get it now and go to 25k i dont want to add another 2 years and 10k SRs to this hunt pleasee 😭😭

It makes no logical sense to bet channel points on him getting it. Even if he hasn’t found a shiny in 30 billion encounters, the chances are still 1/4000 (or whatever variation in game he’s playing).

@@stoopidapples1596 It's 1/8192 & I don't mind given I sit in on his streams a lot while I get stuff done so I wracked up enough points that I never use.

[@ShinyHunterMuck]

I also got my first shiny in that game!! It was a Mr Mime in the cave right before the fighting gym with the skater lady, but I found it in a secret room with cool lighting from the ceiling, so I thought it was an event shiny,, and deleted the save file after I completed the game 💀 Years later I remembered that and couldn’t remember the context for this supposed event, so I looked it up… and didn’t find anything. The realization slowly kicked in that I had made a huuuge mistake 😭

I started pokemon with Yellow when I was 5, and I've played most of the mainline game. Without wonder trade and event, I only encounter 2 shinies : A red gyrados (another one that the one from silver) and a shiny regice (that is so barely noticable that I didn't get it was a shiny when I caught it xD). Yep. I respect people doing shiny hunting, I can't.

I caught a shiny Scorupi by complete chance in Sword. I wasn't even looking for one. I was getting Galarian Farfetch'd for my ex-friend and I. We were going to have a little competition to see who'd evolve it first. The reason being it needs to land three crits in one battle to evolve. Neither of us were all that sure how it'd work so we devised this competition. I had to catch them though cause Farfetch'd was exclusive to Sword and he had Shield. I had spent perhaps a few hours trying to catch one. Why hours? Game Freak gave them the move Final Gambit. It's a fighting type which deals a lot of damage and causes the user to faint. It's basically Explosion or Self Destruct. Yeah so I caved and bought Quick balls. I have this thing where Great balls work way more often than Ultra balls and specialty balls just don't work when they should. I don't know. So I caught one and luckily he was holding a Leek. Now I was catching my ex-friend's. An hour passes and I got jumped by the normally purple scorpion. I was drowsy (not the Pokèmon) so I didn't take notice at first. As I was about to run I realized it looked off. Then it clicked and I tried to catch it. I wasn't going to sweat it if I failed as I'm not a shiny hunter and don't really care if it's shiny or not. I caught it and was proud that I finally got a legit shiny that wasn't a mystery gift or scripted event...well actually I got a shiny Sudowoodo in Coliseum before that but I don't know if they revert once purified. To finish the story I did catch a Farfetch'd for my friend but she wasn't holding a Leek. I had Redd, my Thievul, steal one from a Farfetch'd. Also I evolved mine first. It was much easier than I was anticipating. Sirfetch'd are crit machines.

[@menkomonty]

What I found quite amusing when I shiny hunted in Sword was that I was pretty lucky finding a lot of shinies while only completing half of the Pokedex. It was so good that while shiny hunting for one Pokemon, I found two other shinies and on another occasion, I found a shiny Arcanine after 10 encounters, making it my fastest shiny hunt ever. And once I had completed the Pokedex and got the shiny charm, my shiny luck just disappeared and have been on a shiny hunting drought ever since.

In sword my first cubone capture was a shiny (wasn't hunting it) and in SS I was hunting for a plusle and found a shiny minun.

What I did was breed a pichu in diamond, make sure the steps were low on it, then trade it to Pokemon Heartgold. Lo and behold when I hatched it in HG, it was shiny, and I beat red with that little pichu haha.

[@ghostfrisk665]

I remember the first shiny I ever got (because I’m that sad) was in Pokemon Sword when I hatched it out of a Vulpix egg. I was so happy and literally named the Vulpix “Lucky” as before that I never had found a shiny. (random story context, the reason for having the egg in the first place was because I randomly just kinda start taking random Pokémon and doing intense egg breeding, like for my fav Pokémon, or just to try and get a strong Pokémon)

I just love your video they alway bright up my day your my go to Pokémon comfort KZbinr ^^

[@awsomeepicninja]

2 of the 3 shinies i found in emerald back in the day were in the safari zone. I never trusted % chance statistics after i learned how rare a shiny was. Ah memories

[@GodNops]

I was not ready for that voice of young candyevie. Almost died when I heard it lol.

[@mizusenshi8172]

That is an insane amount of encounters wow Also it's kinda funny you mention the giant Spheal plush cause it just hit the U.S. Pokémon Center store I think like a week or so ago. So it's not Japan exclusive anymore.

[@boisbois2947]

My longest shiny hunt in terms of time spent is probably Zapdos in Let's Go Eevee. I started around February 2019 and finished in late November. The average time I spent hunting was around 6 hours a week, which is almost 250 hours in total.

[@MaryyInsertSomethingHere]

Ngl my biggest fear is running away from a shiny bc i didn't knew what they are when i was a child lol

[@lasershark2601]

CandyEvie: So I'm probably the luckiest person alive when it come to shiny pokemon. Shiny Turtwig: Are you sure about that?

[@mixed6640]

Lucy's been doing shiny hunting videos a lot in the past few months and I love it, if you're reading this, you were probably the main reason I got back into shiny hunting, and just Pokémon in general! Keep up the good stuff!

[@Nekosage]

Getting up into those numbers takes some serious dedication. I honestly not sure what my longest was, although I do know of a couple of hunts that practically shattered my sanity(Shiny HA female Eevee and Shiny Tapu Lele in Dynamax Adventures).

[@prestonestes1388]

I remember that my second shiny, not including the Red Gyrados, was a ryhorn that I found in the safari zone in leaf green. The only other shiny that I ever saw was a torcoal in my Sapphire. I thought they were glitches at first because I never heard of shiny Pokémon until later.

[@rissa_rarity_611]

I got one shiny pokemon as a kid and it was a Ponyta on Fire red. My brother (4 years older than me) told me if I let it evolve it wouldn't be blue anymore so it was a ponyta forever. Now I just think he was either jealous or didn't know.

[@Kostyurik]

Wow, I'm amazed at professional shiny hunters' determination to their hobby. My longest amateur shiny hunt is my current one - shiny Miltank in Pokemon GO, I'm trying to find this blue cow for more than a 9 months now, 1546 encounters without shiny, while shiny chance is about 1 in 512. But at least I found a ton of other shinies in the process

[@jvever4904]

It's ironic you were so lucky you used up all your luck and ended up being terribly unlucky with a shiny you actually wanted.

[@Jen-bx6vw]

Tbf shiny hippopodon looks awesome, might be why you wanted the pre-evolution

[@harrisonwhaley7872]

The old footage is so precious omg

[@blitz2524]

When Lucy finally uploads, she doesnt dissappoints on the wacky stories

[@magicalmercy]

My most memorable shiny was in Legends Arceus. I completed the side quest for the freebie shiny Ponyta and added it to my team cause I like how shiny Ponyta looks. Later in the same play session, I was back in the Horseshoe Plains looking for an Eevee when I heard the little shiny jingle. I frantically swiveled the camera around to find the shiny and what Pokémon do you think I see? Another frickin shiny Ponyta just casually strolling along. I was genuinely questioning my sanity. Like, what on earth were the odds?! It was the same play session! Not even an hour had passed since I got the freebie Ponyta! Apparently the game was like, oh, you like the pretty horse? Have another! By now the first Ponyta (the freebie) is a Rapidash I like to use frequently, but the other still has a special place in my heart. The Ponyta wasn’t the only weird out of nowhere full odds shiny I’ve gotten in Legends so far, but I’ve rambled long enough.

[@CTSael]

What’s funny is I had a near identical experience to this, only reversed. My 2nd play-through of PLA, I’m running around the Obsidian Fieldlands and stumble across the shiny Ponyta. I assume that because I knew of the quest for it, it had gone ahead and spawned for me and I figured, “sure why not?” and caught it. Only to find out that I hadn’t accepted the quest yet and my mind went “???!” I went back out there (with the quest this time) and sure enough, there was the 100% spawn.

[@FrenkTheJoy]

Meanwhile I've been specifically hunting for another Ponyta so I can have a shiny living dex in Arceus! Aah!

[@CTSael]

@@FrenkTheJoy I don’t have the patience to pursue a living shiny Dex. I don’t want to even THINK about how much of a headache it would be to hunt the Distortion-only ones. The last ‘mon I needed to complete the normal Dex was Shieldon (+ evo.) Not Cherrim, not Spiritomb… Shieldon.

[@buzzco3811]

I was playing scarlet and just randomly running around trying to find the magnemites and ran into a shiny magneton so I pulled out my thunder stone evolved it and kept it on my team for the rest of my play through.

[@CL3V3Rx]

Afaik Dallas is the current WR holder with his 70,908 Registeel. Absolute insanity that these numbers can get so high but that's RNG for you xD

[@swampfox6115]

Like 3 weeks ago I was just wandering through the wild area in Shield and I found a full odds shiny lombre by accident lol I was so happy

[@DigiRangerScott]

[@exeko8681]

During an accidental SOS method, I was going to catch the first Ditto I saw while playing through Ultra Moon.. it called its blue friend on the first try (unintentional hunt) named it Crayola

[@nothingherebro1]

Bro when I first saw that interview it was the hardest I’ve ever laughed
