How I STOLE Shiny Pokémon

I can't believe it's taken me 20 years since I started playing Pokemon to associate the Bad Egg gotten from cheating to bad egg, which means dishonest. Like, I just never made the connection and just thought it was random I'd get an egg as a glitched byproduct of my old GameShark ways. This whole time it was GameFreak calling me out 😂

[@excalibur493]

I JUST got the joke. God damn it. 😅

Honestly the more you explain it the more enticing the one in 8000 chance of a regular shiny seems

[@philtommygino1]

[@axolotlfairy2473]

Someone needs to get you the other two e-reader cards so you can steal the shiny relicanth and Gardevoir, and combine it with two stolen battle tower shinies to make a full team of stolen shinies

This makes me think of old gen 4 days where I’d boot up the old Action Replay and steal a bunch of story NPC’s Pokémon, which would always cause the summary of the stolen Pokémon to glitch (odd dates, odd meet areas, etc)

Just saw your first video about the e-Reader and was disappointed the adventure had to end on "welp, Bad EGGs gonna Bad EGG" before seeing this one pop up on autoplay. Im so stoked you were able to steal Craig from Craig and transfer him all the way to Gen 8. Loved these vids!

[@WavidDilcox666]

Something interesting, I captured dragon tamer Craig's shiny dragon this morning using this method, but I instead injected the e reader card into ENG Ruby, doing so made his Altaria and Kingdra shiny as well... Not sure why that happens but I thought I'd put it out there haha

[@SirToastyToes]

If your injector assigned a Trainer ID of 00223 to Altaria and Kingdra they would become shiny. Normally they have a trainer and secret ID of 00000

[@rustytoyota]

22 years later... Wow ! I remember getting this game NEW ! I got Ruby Version because I had played a Demo of Sapphire at Walmart and assumed you could only be a GIRL in Sapphire. I remember getting Ruby from GameStop loading that into my GBA and putting SO much time into that game. I still have said game.

[@GavinAstraWolf]

I can not believe that you could just bring that straight up to HOME. I figured it'd get as far as Gen 5 but I wonder if its because when its transferred upwards, the met Route data is lost/simplified so Bank/Home can't check if its cheated because it doesn't have a reference if it should be caught where it was or not. Either or crazy video and I can't believe some people would go that far to get a shiny Pokemon. lol

If the Pokémon police catches you on grounds of NPC identity theft, just tell them that you were roleplaying since it's a roleplaying game.

Shiny Salamance colors look like 1950s Americana, like that old seafoam green they used all over. Original Salamance is based on Devilman which I guess is an equally old blue, but for some reason it doesn’t stick out to me the same way the green does.

Seems legit to pokehome cause they only check for values regarding competitive battles. It nit legal though, putting it to pkhex will get red flagged, as pkhex checks way more things than pokehome, such as where it was caught.

[@thetreyceratops]

I want a shiny Salamence in Gen 3… but somehow I think RNG manipulating an egg would probably be a lot easier Update: I did ACE instead to turn a regular shiny Bagon into a perfect egg one, getting an egg sounds harder

[@nobodyimportant4778]

Ok but could you use this method to steal items from the battle frontier? Like if you used Trick or Switcheroo to give an enemy trainer a sacred ash from the pyramid, only to lose and then use the latios glitch to switcheroo it back outside the pyramid?

[@SirToastyToes]

The Pokemon will be holding whatever item it was holding during that battle. I got a Scope Lens from Salamence and a Leftovers from Breloom. This method was actually the only way to get the Salac, Ganlon, Petaya and Apicot Berry without Pokemon Colosseum, XD Gale of Darkness or an event

[@Venty179]

In this household, WE STAN CRAIG!!! ❤❤❤

[@Cyc0de]

couldn't you just have edited the data code on the cards to make sure your id and the trainers are the same? i have seen an animal crossing video where someone did that (creating his own code he then scanned). that also allows probably to decide the pokemon (level, pokemon, trainer ids etc)

[@SirToastyToes]

Yes but then I would need to custom print the card to use it with the e reader as well as calculate a new secret ID for Salamence for it to remain shiny

[@IlluminatedPhantom]

Identity Theft isn’t a crime if they deserved it. Keep up the content!

[@npc6924]

understanding that ereader support is required for this technique, have you considered using custom ereader cards (im a blisy has some good videos on custom events with these) to change the trainer ID/SID (if posible) and/or add more shiny encounters to this method?

[@SirToastyToes]

Sure but I'm pretty sure you can just code cards that will let Norman hand you a Pokemon

[@DomyTheMad420]

at this point your 'i did not cheat to get these shinies or rare pokemon' claim is dubious at best tho. yes, it is a few steps away from hacking in some shinies. but it's nowhere near as clean as "i caught them all myself"

[@SirToastyToes]

The glitches I performed in this video can be done on any English/JP copy of Ruby/Sapphire with no modifications, using RTCRead is because as you saw the resets are otherwise 6 months long :)

Wait, are the checksums different in D/P/Pt? Cause I never once got a bad egg from using the “catch trainer Pokémon” action replay cheat…

[@SirToastyToes]

I remember getting Bad Eggs if I caught something that wasn't their first Pokemon, but I don't know why. The Action Replay also may have been changing the TID/SID to match to make the cheat work, we can't know

[@wolfetteplays8894]

@@SirToastyToes I wish my save wasn’t wiped by my dumbass friend in 9th grade… then I could check ;(. Maybe I could order a DS action replay and try the cheat again on a new save, I’ll update if it changes it or not…

can you steal shiny pokemon from trainers? answer: yes, if you use homebrew to hack the game. so not legitimately? no.

You could wait the months it would require for the dead battery seed to make it to the right frame, and there are other methods like painting RNG that can get the seed we're looking for

[@Rammkard]

This seems like team rocket propaganda

[@BurstFlare]

I know you mean 1/8th of the chance of a shiny, but "8 times less likely" implies it's -7/8192, which isn't accurate at all. Don't get why people say it like that.

[@SirToastyToes]

I've never met a person who would interpret saying something is 8 times less likely as "subtract 8 from the numerator"

[@zowayix]

So if something has an 80% or 4 in 5 chance to happen, how would this interpretation of "8 times less likely" work? Would you do 80/100 -> 72/100 or 4/5 -> -4/5?

[@BurstFlare]

@@SirToastyToes The part that causes me to think that is the "# times less". And it's not "subtract 8 from the numerator", more like "B=A-(A*8)". It just happen that A in this case was 1/8192, causing A*8 to be 8/8192.

[@SirToastyToes]

@@BurstFlare Yeah it's a weird scaling of saying something like "half as likely" which would be multiply the denominator by 2
