How to SHINY hunt ARCEUS in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl

[@ChromerGaming]

Are you going to be hunting Arceus in BDSP?

[@cheesiestsandwich]

Yes

[@ChromerGaming]

Good luck!

[@baconboi4482]

I still need to shiny hunt the lake trio, and shaymin

[@ChromerGaming]

Same

[@owenface8412]

I already got the shiny shaymin before the event using a surf glitch

[@Roy_Dudson]

You can save right before the top. The nature and stats change

[@ChromerGaming]

Correct

[@bazz2k_755]

can resetting with y instead of X prevent arceus to be shiny ?

[@LolcoolIDC]

​@@bazz2k_755Nope because it's outside if the physical game, each time you boot up the game it rerolls for a shiny

[@P0kePaul]

My stats change, but the nature doesn't (it's always calm). Can it still be shiny ?

[@LolcoolIDC]

@@P0kePaul yeah as long as you open the game it always changes the seed randomly

[@PokemonAdventures009]

This just saved me so much time! I didn’t know you could do that

[@ChromerGaming]

welcome!

[@Roy_Dudson]

It helps to have only one pokemon in your party so you don't waste time having every mon gaining EXP

[@ChromerGaming]

Haha yea that would be ideal

[@sampson7200]

Just hope your only mon doesn’t die to hyper beam!

[@Roy_Dudson]

I'm currently catching him with the masterball and I notice it's different each time. Just reset if you're hunting. Or have ALL Best stats lol

[@ChromerGaming]

Yep that's what I learned by the end

[@memelord1030]

thank you

[@ChromerGaming]

You’re welcome. Hopefully soon we can have more of these for scarlet and Violet!

[@emperialdeath5622]

You don’t get the azure flute after elite four, you get it as soon as you load in the game

[@ChromerGaming]

Are people still playing BDSP?

[@emperialdeath5622]

@@ChromerGaming I am lol currently shiny hunting arceus

[@ASN_Alfie]

Yep I am too lol

[@Bazingaboomer]

When you don’t have legends arceus: 😢

[@shinyhntr4878]

Lol why you not just saving at top of stairs. Playing that flute cutscene everytime like you have time to waste 😂

[@ChromerGaming]

That's what I ended up doing at the end

[@0gbunks]

A 13 minute long video teaching you how to soft reset

[@ChromerGaming]

I was testing everything the day it got released and didn’t feel like editing it. KZbin thought that was a good idea. I didn’t.

[@A.X.05]

Iv been hunting for shiny arceus for over a week and I still haven't found it

[@ChromerGaming]

Sadge. Several people I know have it but I still don’t either.

[@ALSH_Peath]

Have you found it yet?

[@dragonmaster7429]

I’m confused I’ve had people tell you have to complete the Pokédex in legends arceus for the azure flute to show up but I’ve also read on websites you don’t need to complete the Pokédex in legends arceus

[@markthegamerofgrima6159]

I believe you have to have beaten arceus in legends arceus, which means completing the Pokédex (at least, catching them, getting all to research 10 isn’t necessary unless you want shiny charm)

[@sibusky7554]

Why is my flute not working

[@ChromerGaming]

Try cleaning it lol. Idk I’ve never had it not work

[@rosenbergbenadretti]

Is it true that u need to complete the entire pokedex entries (level 10) for all pokemon in Legends Arceus?? Because I just don't see the flute anywhere.... please HELP ME!!!

[@dusk1152]

no, you just have to finish the last main quest which is "the deified pokemon" which requires you to have caught 1 pokemon of each species in the pokedex, no need to get research level 10. Good luck

[@masam9700]

Thank god, knowing how they made this game, i wouldn't have been suprised if you have to save before summoning, but im glad you can just reset at the top

[@ChromerGaming]

Yea thankfully that's about the one thing they did right

[@RyeLowz]

I guess because I left to restock up on ultraballs before coming back, he is stuck with the same nature/iv's every time i catch him. Which im guessing means he'll never be shiny till i reset my save. Feel like i've tried everything but he stayes the exact same nature/iv.

[@ChromerGaming]

Hmmm that's weird. I left to do some other stuff and now resumed it but I didn't check again that it was different. I'll do that tonight.

[@RyeLowz]

@@ChromerGaming Did some testing again. Left the area, went back in and played the flute. Save at the top again. Now im getting different IV's every time but the exact same nature. very strange. Guess i'll keep hunting for a while, see if i get lucky.

[@ChromerGaming]

Very strange indeed

[@RyeLowz]

@@ChromerGaming oh man im a god damn idiot. Recently started using mew because I brought lets go the other day and grabbed the gift. Completely forgot about synchronize.

[@ChromerGaming]

Hahaha ohhhh

[@mircirs]

At 13800+ resets kill me

[@ChromerGaming]

Omg seriously?! That’s insane

[@toamateo22]

Do we need to capture arceus before resetting to shiny hunt him

[@ChromerGaming]

NO DO NOT CAPTURE ARCEUS! Once you capture Arceus you CANNOT encounter him again ever unless you start a new save file and start over.

[@PoisonGhoul1763]

Does autosaving affect the shiny hunt tho?

[@ChromerGaming]

I mean technically if you caught it with auto save on and it wasn’t shiny then you’re screwed so yea turn it off

[@PoisonGhoul1763]

@@ChromerGaming it’s all good I got the shiny anyways hehe

[@ChromerGaming]

Already?!

[@PoisonGhoul1763]

@@ChromerGaming YEP

[@ChromerGaming]

How many encounters?

[@Hi_There_Hello]

If there was a way to soft reset on the switch, this hunt would be so much faster.

[@ChromerGaming]

I wish

[@alexandros3782]

What are the odds for shiny arceus without shiny charm?

[@ChromerGaming]

Shiny charm only effects eggs in BDSP so it’s 1/4096 odds.

[@alexandros3782]

@@ChromerGaming damn this is way too difficult to get a shiny arceus. Thanks!

[@autsadawutketpant8423]

Why my room don't have pokeball

[@matthewslonaker5432]

Beat legend Arceus all main missions

[@ChromerGaming]

Yes make sure you beat the main story of legends Arceus

[@Cabz.]

Bruh why did you over analyse this so much 🤣 just save 1 step before done.

[@ChromerGaming]

How was I supposed to know that before anyone had tested it?

[@Cabz.]

@@ChromerGaming you weren’t the first person to hunt arceus my dude, you could of either looked on KZbin for people already hunting it or you could of already know beforehand from the leaked data mines.

[@ChromerGaming]

Sorry I’ll never test something ever again as soon as it’s released. I’ll wait and let someone else tell me what to do.

[@Cabz.]

@@ChromerGaming nah I’m just saying you could of looked either on yt or datamines for the information you are looking for.

[@ChromerGaming]

Maybe

[@Tenaciousghosty]

Hey bro did you ever catch a shiny one? I’ve been doing this same hunt since it released, it’s been months and over 100k encounters lmao, definitely my most painful hunt yet 🥲

[@ChromerGaming]

Haha no I never finished it

[@Tenaciousghosty]

@@ChromerGaming don’t blame you one bit, it hasn’t been a fun one 😂
