This is going to be a VERY specific use-case. But you CAN have a Shiny Pokemon despawn due to weather or the day/night cycle. How to prevent losing it: twitter.com/AustinJohnPlays/status/1488675526520844293

The shiny noise really helps too. I've been flying around with braviary in an area and I'll randomly hear it and fall out of the sky immediately like a sack of concrete cause I don't want to miss it

[@sortasamm]

I'm really glad that there's a reason to 100% each pokedex page! I was disappointed when I saw that the pokedex entry was complete after 10 points but shiny hunting is a great bonus for completion.

[@sylvain4298]

Agreed, I was thinking that I didn't really have to do anything else after getting the "complete" thing on a pokemones page. Now I know I actually should complete all of the dex and I might focus on doing the easier stuff before moving onto the next area now. I wish it wouldn't say that the dex entry for the Pokemon is complete if technically you have to actually complete the dex entry to get the shiny charm.

[@moleman172]

tbh if it was for shinies not existing i wouldn’t love pla as much

[@evanboesen2078]

I have found out something pretty neat. You can force spawn mass outbreaks by entering and leaving the main continent of Hisui. You just keep entering and leaving until the NPC at the gate’s dialogue has changed, and then head for the outbreak. And since the outbreaks give you 25 re-rolls, that’s a consistent 1/158 chance before Dex completion. I have already found two shinies this way!

[@ds_drub]

[@jeannepucelle]

I just had my first outbreak and it was Eevee. I didn't expect a shiny in the bunch but went towards it seeing as I needed more Eevee. I was tired of force spawning two or three and I am still early in the game, just crossed the bridge in the obsidian feilds. I went towards the outbreak and found a greyish Eevee in the middle of five after I hid in the grass. I thought it was a weird lighting glitch since I had a few glitches so far and it didn't make a noise or sparkle. After I was surprised to see it was a shiny, I quickly threw a mushroom cake near it and as it started munching, I snuck closer. I accidentally scared it so I immediately dove away to have a better chance to have it stay. When it came closer again, I threw another mushroom cake and threw a Great ball at it after it started munching again. Shiny boy has a bold nature.

[@ron3940]

gotta try this im on my 4th zone and havent had an outbreak

[@darknesswave100]

@@ron3940 really easy tip is to go back and forth from an area to jubilife village and just keep doing it till you get one. That's what I did. It happens more often than you'd think doing it that way instead of it happening randomly when you leave the map

[@AJMegaScizor]

That Mr. Mime idle left me stunned. That animation literally has more character than any pokemon game in the past 8 or 9 years.

[@Sweetroll_Wolfie]

Yeah, honestly awesome!

[@omarreyes7626]

so to summarize: the more complete the pokedex page is, the higher the odds of finding it's shinny, got it. I think this game also made shinny hunting easier even if you just normally play the game, I mean yeah the regular rate is 1:4096 pokemon BUT there's more pokemon on screen, there's also a sound alert when a shinny is on the field, this makes all the difference when previously you had to just hope for random encounters.

[@AustinJohnPlays]

The whole basis of the game is to complete the first ever pokedex, and the fact that it's not just a CHARM at the end, but you actually get little boosts to shiny chances along the way is IMO fantastic.

I remember yesterday, I was strolling through the Icelands, and out of nowhere I found a shiny stantler and was able to catch it with a wing ball. I may not use them a lot but I will keep them near and dear to my heart since they were the first ever shiny I have been able to obtain through any odds and not surprise trades from sw/sh

[@thebluethunderbunny2324]

I feel like this game spawns shinnies a lot more often than the older games did. I found a shiny Zubat on the day of release, and the very next day after that, I found a shiny Geodude. Not complaining, I don't use the Geodude, but I now have a shiny Crowbat that stays on my team, and she's super useful, but I feel like since I found 2 of them back to back that maybe they just aren't that special...

Only then will we feel pleasure in chasing unique pokemons again

[@prezhenz6969]

This was a great shiny introduction for Legends Arceus! Can’t wait to start hunting

[@whimsicalstray]

I love the Mr. Mime animations. I still think it's a huge missed opportunity that Mr. Mime isn't entirely silent in most Pokemon media though. It get that it speaking helps make it less creepy for kids, but I love the thought of a Mr. Mime appearing in the wild, going through it's barrier animations, and never making a sound.

[@blablablacksheep4]

Imagine it just opened an invisible box that it creates then when opened you can hear them talk giving the illusion thats is not just a mime but also a ventriloquist

[@daraen673]

Well... its sitting animation with invisible can and chair is a ref to the Detective Pikachu movie, where Mr. Mime is basically completely silent in addition of its creepy face

[@AquamarineVaporeon]

I have a strategy for shiny hunting a specific species with outbreaks: 0. Make sure auto save is off 1. Go to a map with the outbreak you want and save in front of the professor 2. Go to the outbreak and encounter every Pokémon 3. If you encounter a shiny, congrats. End this cycle 4. If you didn’t encounter a shiny and the outbreak ends, turn the game off and reload 5. Talk to the professor and go back to Jubilife 6. Check if the outbreak is still there. If not, turn off your game and go back to step 5 7. If the outbreak is still the same species, go back to step 1 and rinse and repeat

[@miruku6939]

Can you keep knocking out the Pokemon and wait until a Shiny spawns? I’ve saved in front of the outbreak itself and it disappears at dawn all the time, I’m at like my 5th reload now.

[@AquamarineVaporeon]

@@miruku6939 No, each day the spawns are preset. That’s why you have to go back to jubilife to reload the spawns. Conversely, if you fail a shiny, you can just reload that day and the shiny will still be there. Don’t save in the middle of an outbreak though, reloading that will make the outbreak end.

[@AMSantosMusic]

Thank you so much. I did this and it worked on the 2nd try!! Got a shiny dustox :)

[@dgripper05]

This is how shinys should be, slightly more easier to catch, I’ve been playing Pokémon for over 20 years and I’ve never randomly encountered a shiny a day in my life, in sun and moon I did my first shiny hunt for a couple but never just a random shiny and that’s crazy

[@Che1ito]

I’ve gotten 3 random shinies and they were basically all in a year.

[@PansyPops]

I’ve only ever found 1 random shiny without the charm and without hunting, but technically it wasn’t even full odds. I played through OrAs and just grinded against Magikarp to get XP (because they’re literally just free XP, while giving speed EVs). Because I was fishing, I also fished up a shiny Magikarp, and was so excited because I thought it was full odds. Now, I know it wasn’t full odds and I’ve caught about 10 more the same way.

What I like is that as you're trying to do the Pokédex pages you have a chance to see it as a shiney during the process. So if you get it to level 10, then aim to complete the Dex page, you'll see a TON of them while doing it, so there's a pretty good chance of seeing a shiney before you even finish.

Since the shinies are locked into the instance, you can go anywhere in the area and as long as you don't leave to village it will stay there. Once you have fly, you can do a lap of the area to look for any shinies that may have populated in that instance and just hear/see it and fight.

The hype is real. I love how Austin is trying as hard as he can to contain his excitement and just can't do it. Can't wait to play this game tonight!

[@xblackdemonx3183]

Thanks a lot for all of this precious info!

[@yokoyakamori6589]

So far I have only found a shiny Drifloon in the wild while trying to find a Dusclops for a mission. Hope to see more during my run. Found an outbreak of Ralts and snagged a shiny from that, so that makes two shinies now.

[@izimri]

[@ThePokeCouple]

Thanks for the video! it was super helpful.

[@RuneScapeShadoma]

Oh, I can tell this is gonna be fun. I was already planning to 100% the game, having highly reduced shiny chances is just an amazing bonus.

[@raulflores8581]

im planning of doing lahonybliving dex for this game, except for the locked ones

[@Tpelf]

I can't wait to start this game! A little upset we can't get shiny Arceus, but still very excited to start playing and getting shinys

[@rain1676]

I love you

[@kevonharvey4592]

Just caught a shiny zubat couple hours ago it was unexpected, never ran the zubat line before so he’s a nice addition to the team

[@evinstover9334]

my crobat was so OP and huge it was insane, definitely a good member to the team

[@darknesswave100]

A Crobat is really powerful with cross poison and x scissor. Mine was shredding everything

[@kevonharvey4592]

@@darknesswave100 I legit just perfected his stats yesterday

[@OsmanSK8]

Awesome video thanks for your hardwork Austin

[@natewhocking]

literally was refreshing my feed for this lmao

[@lj_bryson]

Same lol

[@SirSpitsAlotable]

I’m excited for this game, but I’m even more excited for what this groundwork will lead to in the future. Now that we have this engine I can’t wait to see what we get next.

[@collecttcg1122]

I've played the game for like 7 hours so far, enjoying it so much that I didn't even think about shiny hunting, it's made the game way more fun!

[@ProtoPropski]

I'm a huge fan of Gardevoir, and was streaming found a Shiny Ralts just chilling in the ruins of Alabaster Icelands during the story mission, made me almost have a heart attack trying to catch it I was so happy when I did tho, it's now my lil Blossom of Hope for the game, and shiny hunting going forward

[@jindabyne9823]

The Red Gyarados looks so good in overworld, so keen to get into this game tonight.

[@Stonerolog1st]

Its pretty cool to see a Gyarados just randomly flying only to realise theres Magikarp around the attention to detail by GameFreak is awesome its like Breath of the Wyrdeer uh i mean Wild

[@kieramoore6501]

This is perfect, exactly what I wanted to know. You never fail to deliver the goods sir Austin 👍

[@taylormartin6196]

This might be the most helpful and informative video on shiny hunting I have ever seen.

[@Bubs-jd3fu]

Love how at 3:16 he goes look he’s sleeping then starts to talk quietly like it’s going to wake him
