For anyone wondering, you can also use the auto battle feature to knock out pokemon and free up spawns so that iron valiant and roaring moon will spawn quicker

[@shoganza8616]

On the crop circles -- this, and the metal plate you passed before the shiny Dun, appear in the version's Violet/Scarlet book. The game implies that these are related to whatever makes Area Zero special; and most likely are brought about by the mystery Pokemon that exists on the last page of the book with the redacted characters. If you read the books that appear in the Area Zero waystations, the Professor even confirms the existence of this Pokemon. It is highly likely that this will the the main DLC legendary, in addition to the 'Imagined Pokemon' that appears in your version's book.

[@nfrance999]

Potential Theory spoiler: It's also assumed this pokemon somehow allows the creation of the Paradox Pokemon, as much as their name implies, their existence (and especially the future ones) is a major paradox because their first "sighting" was the author of the scarlet/violet book...... 200 years before the time machines invention that was responsible for bringing them here.

[@helpfulDeathgod]

@@nfrance999 More Theory with Spoilers: I'm pretty sure the original Scarlet Book itself is a paradox. It would have been sent all the way back to when the Ancient Pokemon existed in their own times (which, we know the AI wouldn't immediately perish because there are supposedly more Terastals there than in the present, and therefore would support him/her) or all the way forward to the future when the Futuristic Pokemon exist naturally, and yet, yeah... how then do those paradox pokemon exist only 200 years before these events when the time machine was certainly built only about 10 or so years ago. The pokemon should, therefore, only begin to exist in that area, in that state, starting ~10 years ago. Scarlet makes that worse since it makes a loop that affects us in the present, but Violet creates a loop that won't see the effect for... who knows how long. However long it takes for someone to fuse Gardevoir and Gallade into a singular Mecha-mon. Which, either Futuristic pokemon are entirely man-made... or natural in the sense that Porygon is actually a naturally occurring creature.

[@theoraexplora]

Cayla's Capsule nailed her theory about those after the cover reveal (yea, that long ago). chances are that the DLC will canonise that Arven's dad is Turo and his mom is Sada in both games, which means the other parent will time travel us the 3rd, reflective, hexagonal disc friend. (lowkey hoping it's a double paradox Rayquaza, with future elements that make it kinda like book description, and past elements that make it kinda Shenron-like)

[@smithynoir9980]

@@theoraexplora I want it to be Rayquaza exactly as you said, that'd be unreal!

[@LeiraVeil-Challenge]

Interesting note about the plate. It has a map of paldea on it with the locations of all the towns marked. Not sure what this means. Also both the plates symbol and the crop circles are on the front of the box with two others, one that resembles the hexagonal plates mentioned in the scarlet/violet book and one unknown one that looks to be either a astrological or alchemical symbol. There's more to this mystery but I haven't figured it out yet

[@HeartlessNobody413]

@@jonathannunes5150 what's yours?

[@coleeolee]

Pro tip: for roaring moon and iron valiant, negating cluster spawning works best. After you reach spawn cap (13 Pokémon at once) slowly and carefully despawn Pokémon one by one. That way pokemon like greaveard and pawmi can’t spawn because they always spawn in groups of 5. That way you can get a bunch of Pokémon excluded from your spawns

[@cedriceichenauer4490]

One tipp if you Shiny Hunt Iron Valiant: If you have the fairy boost, they can actually spawn in the entrance of the cave that goes from Station 3 to Station 4 and no Greavard will spawn.

[@kingspinda9352]

Fun fact: both the Iron Valiant and Roaring Moon resemble their normal variants’ megas. Iron Valiant has a dress like Mega Gardevior and Blades on its arms like Mega Gallade. Roaring Moon has the wings of a Mega Salamance.

[@SheorieKaiser]

Roaring moon has a way better body build. I detest mega salamence. But love Roaring Moon

[@TheSpectralForce]

On a side note, I think people always immediately mention the Salamence resemblance and the Mega form wings and don't realize Roaring Moon is also likely a common ancestor to Hydreigon as well. The dark type, limb proportions and feathery appearance are the giveaways. Look at them side by side when flying and they move in a similar manner. I'm still trying to figure out if other paradox mons are "fusions" like this, but at the least, Roaring Moon and Valiant are composed of two mon designs each. One where evolution diverged in the present, another where evolution brought two pokemon together.

[@SheorieKaiser]

@@TheSpectralForce yup. Totally didnt see that, but i agree with you

[@Blastanker]

Fun fact: it tells you that on the Pokédex.

[@anadarkhighguy]

Extra tip for iron thorns, in that area with the rock you can go above and they will spawn much more frequently. Than that opposed to that small stone circle. :) Happy Hunting!

[@helpfulDeathgod]

Same for Sandy Shocks. Same spawn locations.

[@nunyabidnuss6398]

I don't know if anyone has said it yet, but in regards to hunting shiny Iron Valiant @ 16:23, I found out something cool as a fluke that will help a ton! if you get fairy 3* sandwitch buffs, you can go to the caves at research station 4 and they'll spawn all over the place and i found a shiny in like 2 minutes using the iron bundle route; I assume Roaring Moon will also have a similar spawn interaction with dragon buffs

[@maltemnt912]

Most free shiny ever, thanks for that!

[@shayhem5794]

Thank you so much for sharing!! I just did this for iron valiant and they def do spawn like crazy down there! 😊

[@garfieldmatthewson5169]

Doesn't work for Roaring Moon. Zweilous has a higher spawn rate for dragon and dark so it's a pain in the @ss

[@gamerwolffang2722]

That's actually a mechanic if you get a high enough level a good chance that Pokemon will be the only one to spawn unless there's another poke with the same type to spawn

[@CrustyTheMoist]

​@gamerwolffang2722 even at the highest level at 3, around 50-60% of the spawns will still be zweilous

[@Colbzilla]

Gotta give a shout out to Austin John for this one. Finally got my shiny charm and had enough Herba Mystica for one run, and got 3 Iron Thorns off of it

[@LM11116]

the iron valiant/roaring moon location is also the best place to exp farm without candies btw; the grassy area without the pattern on the ground is where you're gonna get the most chansey spawns out of anywhere in the game, and they're at the highest level possible (around 55).

[@toddelmsworth640]

Impressive find for that shiny Dunsparce mid-recording lol Thanks for the hunting tech. Took a couple resets cause I don’t have the shiny charm. On the third attempt with the flying sandwich I found 2 shiny Iron Jugulises in under 10 minutes My recommendations for most spawns of a future mon Treads: Steel (ground will also spawn Dugtrios) Bundle: either Ice or Water (underground is best place to hunt, as seen in the video) Hands: Fighting (either type spawns Pawmos, but Electric will spawn Raichus if you’re above ground) Jugulis: Flying (Dark also works, but in the cave where Iron Valiant spawns, Sneasels spawn there too. Again, go underground for best results) Moth: Fire (while fire will also spawn Talonflames, Poison will spawn Venomoths, Gimmets, & Glimmoras) Thorns: Electric (Rock will spawn Lycanrocs & Garganacls) Valiant: Fairy (Fighting can spawn Pawmos) EDIT: not sure how accurate most of these are, but it’s a good general idea for them

[@waffles_s5791]

9:44 the symbol on the floor is actually the symbol that appears on the floor of the arceus egg event and also in the final boss fight against arceus in legends, or at least it appears as that to me. I think it is quite odd to see that it would be placed in a closed off cave system but maybe it could be relating to something in the future of the game

[@typh2630]

It’s not. This one’s too simple in design and has 4 “corners” (don’t know how else to put it) signified by the 4 spheres on the ends (in short, it’s a square). The arceus one has 3 spheres that align in a triangle signifying the creation trio, with arceus being in the middle.

[@pallao3500]

Not being able to box the riding Legend means that you also wont be able to put it in Pokemon HOME. Thus the catchable version of the box Legend is the only one that can be used to get the dex entry for HOME dex once HOME can be connected with SV. Something to keep in mind if you consider to trade it away forever.

[@Leondragon06]

Good important note thanks

[@simonteesdale9752]

@@Leondragon06 There's a duplication glitch that puts a copy of it in your box, as well as duplicating it's held item. You still can't trade the duped legendary, though. To do this, have a full party including the ride pokemon, then catch a pokemon. When prompted, choose to put the newly caught pokemon in your party, pressing A, then B to select the ride pokemon as the one to send back into the box, bypassing the "can't be sent to box" check.

[@s665677]

Also the only one that will be able to go to gen 10 and above too So it sounds counter conducive but I'd would put more effort into the tradeable one compared to one we all get attached to because once this generation is over we are going to have to say goodbye to good doggo dragon because it can't follow us into the future games and beyond because of that

[@Sajjad09]

Oh i never realised and already traded it but its fine I traded it to my friend

[@OllyMay95]

Yeah this kinda stucks, I can place my traded legendary in Home but not my box legendary. Guess I'll have to play it twice!

[@bullstrode5875]

Tip for anyone catching the second box legendary, you can use repeat balls for better catch rates instead of ultra balls if you want to save your master ball. When you get ridable miraidon to achieve battle form and can put it on your team it is already registered to the pokedex, so repeat ball will have better catch rate than ultra ball if your looking to save master ball for something more important! Edit: lot of replies of people having caught legendary in low catch rate balls. Congratulations, weird flex but ok.

Hello to anyone new, a lot of paradox pokemon ARE NOT available during the “way home” storyline, I talk from experience, I spent almost 2 hours trying to get Iron Valiant to spawn on it’s location and it never did, I even used fairy and fighting encounter boosts up to level 2 and nothing, alternatively (I have both versions) when I looked for the salamace paradox in scarlet I just used one level 1 dragon encounter booster post game and that made 10 of them to spawn, so in conclusion, these two are only available post game just thought you should know

[@seenoblade7291]

I'm not sure if this has been brought up in other videos, last night I was playing with my friend and we realized something about area zero. The other game's paradox pokemon aren't sparse- the encounters just work exactly like they do outside of area zero. When my friend and I were in the same spot, I (scarlet) was seeing a bajillion iron valiants, but they would disappear if my friend left the area. So it's perfectly feasible to shiny hunt other version exclusives, but you'd have to be on voice chat and be very well coordinated since you can't see the other player in area zero, just the spawns they attract

I just had a thought while watching this video... What if in a future update or DLC, they make past and future paradox dittos for each game? Like a more metallic mercury esque ditto (probably named Iron Gloop or something) and its main purpose is it can breed with any other future pokemon, And then for its past paradox, Its alot more of an organic blob like a mix of leaves, mud, tree sap and that sort of stuff (Probably named Natural Sludge or something) that would then breed with any other past pokemon. I was also thinking, for future DLC, there could be some minor storyline of like Penny trying to investigate/understand the time travel device and ends up reversing it, allowing version exclusives but in the opposite way. Like new future pokemon in scarlet from pennys reversal and new past pokemon in violet due to the same reversal. Just some thoughts to throw into the void!

Hi Austin. I just bought myself a switch because I've been wanting to play the new Pokemon games for ages. I last played Pokemon in the early 2000s. I played Sapphire on my Gameboy advance and my biggest regret was that i could not catch the legendary Pokemon on that. Plus, i couldn't trade for them, because I didn't know anyone who had that game. And then i found your video yesterday. I finished the game two days ago and i realised that i could catch the legendary ones here. And i did. What an amazing feeling. And then, I realised that i could trade and didn't need to know the other person in order to make the trade. You won't believe it but I got a Reyquasa!!! The Pokemon that eluded me all those years ago now sits at the top of my party. So thank you very much. Thank you for fulfilling a dream that I had since I was 13 years old!!

Hey Austin I just wanted to say thank you for all your videos, I’m an Italian Nintendo KZbinr too and I really appreciate how you’re able to show us all these tips and tricks in such a smooth and easy manner. I also really appreciate that a more “grown up” guy talks about Pokémon without a childish tone or a falsely excited way of talking, it makes your videos such a pleasure to watch! Thank you for inspiring me make more videos!

[@nanno2990]

I got a shiny Gibble I've been hunting for 12 hours. I feel so much happiness.

[@error8877]

The problem with trading the extra Koraidon/Miraidon is that the one in your party can't be boxed and obviously it won't go in Home when it becomes avaiable. But at least you could always make another profile and get another one.

[@simonteesdale9752]

There's a duplication glitch that will put a copy of the ride legendary in your box. It's still untradable though.

[@mvv700]

You can link 2 seperate profiles to the same pokemon home account?

[@Brayman_448]

The best part about making koridion or miridon is that you can nickname them. They been with you since the start they should deserve a nickname. I called my toothless.

Iron Valiant is actually pretty easy to catch with Encounter Power: Fairy. The entire last area that is like a cave system, leading up to the lab, was full of Iron Valiants for me.

[@DaemonGaming101]

In regards to your comment on shinies in co-op, I caught my first shiny of the game in co-op. A blue Noibat 💙

[@volttackle3883]

I tried that but I can get even one to spawn

[@lucymorrison]

randomly found a blue venomoth while doing the area zero story arc with a friend lol, named him butterfly

[@o0MrTurtlez0o]

was using this vid to find where Iron thorns was, went to second research station, and immediately found a full odds shiny iron bundle(no shiny charm yet)! he was the shiny I wanted most of the violet paradox pokes

[@UnreleasedDrops]

Austin just grinding out these videos! We are very thankful that you keep us updated with information. We respect you so much!

[@Regunes]

I find it much easier to get iron thorn with this method. TP at observatory 3 Go forward, right above the giant cave in front of you. There should be a slope down and another slope (Rocky this time) that leads to a river in front of you. *Iron thorn spawns around the Tree in between those Slopes* and you can basically move in "8" around that tree back n forth. In fact I find it so reliable I just use them to farm Atk EV by crit catching them with rapid ball and sending them in Mystery Trade online. Because why move around the map when I can complete my pokedex by catching Epic Machine creatures and hopefully make a handful of kid happy to get a Mecha-Tyrannitar for their Magikarp.

[@danialkoh9184]

Got one thanks to your tip :)

[@SighFi]

SUPER helpful guide, as always! also, i dunno if anyone else has mentioned this yet, but the mouth of the main cave that you first enter in the storyline within area zero also appears to be a spawn location for iron valiant; with fighting type encounter power there, i was only spawning in iron valiant in violet! i'd assume it's the same for roaring moon, too. :)

[@evesterbunny7514]

I like how the Magneton has the spiky black sand, like what black sand looks like on a magnet. It's pretty cool to look at.

[@MrANTICRAZY]

"Those green little, teleporters, to teleport." I couldn't stop laughing through the whole video.

[@Langey_Fitness]

I've had three wild shinies as I've freely played this game and that feeling never gets old. Some really good ones, too. Marill, sableye, pawmi. I've only ever had one or two if that in every other main line game without farming.

[@n9nedots]

I’ve been playing this game for over 20 years and I have never seen a shiny once. And I always drop at least 2k hours a game. Gen 3 Ive dropped a cool 20k+ hours so far in my life and not a single accidental shiny 😭

[@robbe2647]

@@n9nedots similar situation here, although i highly doubt i've put nearly as much time into the series as you have. Only got one shiny before Gen 9 and it was the guaranteed Shiny Gyarados in Heartgold's Lake of Rage. Now i have 2 full odds shinies in Violet, and i APPARENTLY let another one slip by me? Edit: 5 of them now, and i figured out what might have happened to the one that "slipped by". The game counts a shiny evolving as another "shiny battled" on your trainer card. It was a Dunsparce... which i evolved to Dudunsparce.

[@dabobthorton6169]

I’ve encountered a wild shiny mankey in Violet randomly. I was gliding over a plains area coming from a mountain and decided to just drop and run instead. I landed in front of a group mankeys and all of them turned around. I was about to pull off and stopped and was like “yo are one of these monkeys green or am I tripping?” Lo n behold it was a shiny! Found him and gastly naturally.

[@zekeybear5323]

Thanks for your videoes, Austin! Was able to complete my paradoxes (except for Miraidon, she had already traded it to her friend) and I even got a Shiny Garganacl!

[@nepd3stiny]

Thanks so much for this shiny method!! I got a shiny Iron Valiant and a yellow doggo in about 2 hours

[@delta_green_emerald1]

Thanks austin for your method of shiny hunting iron bundle which I managed to catch 4 shiny iron bundles

[@SwedePotato314]

That is THE BEST version of the Gerudo desert song. The guy who does those is incredible.

[@thatonelion4583]

Hi Austin. Thanks for all the vids. The codes worked wonders for me! I just finished my pokedex thanks to them. I would suggest to add a code for Slowking, Scizor and Haunter for the trade evolutions, though. Thanks again for all the work :D

[@Jadeshinyhunter22]

This in area zero proved a problem for me and my other half, like you said we couldn't see each other and I was only able to catch two of his version exclusives. I've read that if you stand in the same spot and lure a pokemon to you after encounter, all players will become visible

[@blazeray1000]

This is factual. My friend and I had to do this twice yesterday or We'd look for what the other person wanted and then describe exactly where we were.

[@MattBoehm87]

Just a word of warning for the second legendary. You can trade it to have both but remember you won’t be able to put in a box so I assume you won’t be able to transfer it to home meaning really you will only have it for this game only and not future games. Just thought I’d put that out there. I know Austin mentioned you can’t put it in your boxes in the video but thought I’d add the point about home compatibility.

[@GunmarTheBlack]

I swear Austin and Editing Austin are almost two people, like a pair of twins parent trapping us this whole time

[@gamindanny2773]

[@CammyMeeleTea]

I rode in circles to find Iron Valiant, and found a shiny Lycanroc-Dusk, before seeing Iron Valiant.

[@niofruit]

Austin John carrying us in tutorials thank you for your efforts my guy!

[@ayycatburger_]

Keep up the good content! Always glad to see a new guide :)

[@ToonfieldAnimations]

Love how you put Koraidon in the thumbnail even though he's currently not available shiny.

[@Tekk23]

Iron Bundle is actually the first shiny I found in this game. Who knows how many I just didn't notice going through the game, but Iron Bundle stood out so much it was easy to spot.

[@pageclayton6850]

Honestly same I love my mecha birdie

[@kookielvrs5084]

Me and my friend both wanted sandy shocks so the first 2 times I killed some and they didn’t spawn. Then a couple hours later I got 7 Sandy Shocks

[@cowmeatius7151]

Shiny hunting the paradox mons has been a massive pain. Currently have 3 shiny gibles, a shiny greavard, and 2 shiny zweilous, and a random shiny pawmi. Still have yet to see a shiny roaring moon after 2k encounters using the optimal sandwich. I guess all my luck went into Pokémon I don't want lol

[@NarutoSakura1]

Shiny Roaring Moon is literally THE hardest of all 14 shiny huntable Paradox Mons

[@Teeeeeheeeee]

You feel like some charity work lmk 👀 zweilous and gible are pretty great ones to find imo

Not only the story was good this time, this is the best rival we ever had! She is not annoying

[@MonkeyMasterKyle]

I evolved my Dunsparce to fill out my Pokedex the othe day & it evolved into a 3 segment Dundunsparce! I was surprised.

[@hasankhawaja5499]

I dont know why but after the patch it was not working for me. I went to area 0 to get a shiny Iron Hands after making a sandwich with sparkling power Electric Title Power: Electric and Encounter power: Electric all Lv.3, but all kinds of pokemon showed up of all types. I did it again but with fighting and the same issue occurred. Could someone help me?

[@connormcnulty6377]

It's cool that Pokémon is finally focusing on the story again, and it's actually good. Like Mystery Dungeon.

[@annmarie6675]

I agree. The story was great! I enjoyed it. I'm still in the post-game, but the story was well done. I love the humor with the teleporty teleporters in the video, lol. Thanks editing Austin John for all the hard work you put into these videos! The humor there is great too lol.

[@Yoba-WanKanobi]

I did the fairy shiny sandwich for iron valiant and caught one after 10 minutes. They where spawning everywhere. Idk why everyone else is having trouble with those encounters

[@Rakrune]

1:10 one small thing, solgaleo, lunala, and necrozma aren't ultra beasts but they are closely connected to wormholes. I do like that they don't always have the 'partner' special one as the new thing even if it's close enough it might as well be

[@Bystanderx79]

Read the lore they are ultra beasts

[@289blazeking289]

Anyone know the name of the song that starts playing at 5:06 when he starts battling the shiny dunsparce?

[@Ltacx]

It’s a song from Zelda, I think Twilight Princess

[@KillerGween]

It's Gerudo Valley, Legend of Zelda series, several different games. Based on a few different styles of music, primarily flamenco

[@oldscoolgaming6700]

In my opinion, the Violet Paradox pokémon look like they were built by Dr. Robotnik.

[@aaronsapp3407]

Your suggestion to get close enough to see the Greavard while hunting in the cave paid off with a full odds shiny!
