How to Shiny Hunt on GameCube: XD [+ lock removal]

This took me a LONG time to make and I was making alterations and updates to it up to the last minute so I really hope you all enjoy it and it helps some of you! I also want to give a special thanks to AbsolBlogsPokemon who made a video on Colosseum & XD hunting a few years ago that initially laid down some information for GameCube hunting. The GameCube hunting community has since learned a little bit more to where we thought it justified new videos.
I also want to give a thanks to “Im a blisy” for helping answer a few questions for me on the battle CD’s and battle simulators.
My bad on the Johto starters, I thought it was 1 per game but it’s one per Mt. Battle run, sorry for that!

4:25 Ayy, there's my Magcargo! Fun fact: I got so mad about it that I went to Leafgreen where slugma has a 100% encounter rate. That got me into shiny hunting, which I unfortunately don't have time for anymore, but at least I have a decent little colection. I don't know why anyone would want to hunt for a shiny you can't keep, but you do you.

Hello! Great video! So one question more related to Colosseum. Does the fateful encounter only appear on Gale XD pokemons or does it appear on Colosseum as well?

Thank you very much.

This is a really simple and effective video, it’s great! I was wondering though if there’s a delete save button for Gale of Darkness like other Pokémon games have on the menu

[@shinycollector]

I would think so. If I’m not mistaken, all GC games have that option, but Pokémon ones just don’t have the copy save option

[@keirii6003]

Just as a quick note you can get all of the Johto starters on one save in Mt. Battle as long as you go through the gauntlet again.

[@shinycollector]

Yep! Learned that shortly after making this, thanks for the correction :)

[@Unknowncontent14]

Hey shinycollector, I was wondering how you were able to do multiple XD hunts (like when you were hunting Dukings Pokémon). I know you’ll need multiple copies of the game, but how are you able to play them at the same time?

[@dyescape]

Wireless wavebird controllers and multiple gamecubes, if you have one wavebird controller and multiple receivers and have all the receivers set to the same channel, the one controller controls each gamecube

[@Unknowncontent14]

backintime so I only need one wavebird controller and multiple receivers? Do I need multiple TVs to connect the gamecubes to or do I plug them into the same TV?

[@shinycollector]

UnknownContent ??? You can plug them into the same one if you convert to HDMI and use an HDMI multiviewer

[@Unknowncontent14]

ShinyCollector got it, thanks for the help guys

[@hankj.wimbleton6891]

So I have heard some comments in other forums that Shadow Lugia can be shiny hunted without the Shiny Unlock, is it true or completely false as I am trying to hunt for Shiny Lugia with just the gamecube and disc I have? Also would the shiny animation play by capturing Lugia, leaving a 5th spot open in your party, and switch it out during the second battle against Greevil?

[@shinycollector]

Completely false. If you use the unlock I mention in this video, the best strategy would be to only have 1 Pokémon in your party, masterball the lugia, and then you’ll see if it’s shiny when you auto-throw it out on the second match. Alternatively, there is a newer unlock where it’ll be shiny & sparkle when your opponent throws out the Pokémon. It would be much faster since you don’t need to worry about caring or the second battle at all. BeatingBros has that ISO linked in his XD shadow Ralts video, and that Ralts serves as a good guide as to how that unlock works! Here’s the link to that kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2fEap9jpd5gotk

Now that Johto starter one is the longest soft-reset in all of Pokémon, forget the starter resets in XY or SM.

[@wesleysutton8893]

Can I use the physical game to use the shiny lock removal or does it need to be a rom/iso file? Do I also need to homebrew my gamecube for it to work?

[@shinycollector]

You can’t remove lock on the disc, you need to alter the game’s code. I don’t think you need to homebrew your GameCube, but I might be wrong. look into running ISO files on GC and see what you can find

[@gearpaladin8329]

I have a question about this because I'm planning to shiny hunt a shadow Scyther if XD gale of darkness shadow Pokemon are shiny lock and I need to unlock the shiny lock does the shadow shiny from that game count as legal pokemon once I transfer them up all the way to the switch or count as illegal shadow shiny?

[@shinycollector]

My Teddiursa that I got from unlocking in XD transferred, so my guess would be yes, but I can’t say for certain that it works across the board for all of them. If you do hunt it and get the shiny, please let me know if it works for you! It could help people in the future 👍🏼

[@Shinygati]

Any chance of getting this to work with PAL versions of the game? the offsets seem to be different as i cannot even search the same hex values (or the modified ones) as there are too many results.

[@shinycollector]

I have no clue tbh. Maybe just download a US rom and use that?

[@beingofnatureshadow]

@@shinycollector can't use a na rom on pal hardware (trust me, I've tried about 5 different na iso, both locked and unlocked), the image output is trippy, only playable if you enjoy seizures. :'v

[@DABUremixd7]

I don't know about this shiny lock you're talking about. While I was playing XD Gale of Darkness as a kid, I had one long weekend where I played for 3-4 days straight and found a shiny growlithe in game that I caught. I'm almost positive that that was a shadow pokemon, and it was on a native copy of the game without modification. I forgot to save and lost it forever though. What would the odds have been for that?

[@shinycollector]

That’s impossible

[@DABUremixd7]

@@shinycollector I wish I could say I knew how, but it happened. I couldn't get it to happen again; before this I didn't know they were supposedly shiny locked at all.

[@DABUremixd7]

@@shinycollector I assure you, it's possible. There must be some undiscovered mechanic or glitch to release the shiny-lock on (that one or all) shadow-pokemon in-game that I would've had to have triggered, if they truly are. I wasn't soft-resetting or playing in any particular manner, I didn't even know about that method at the time; I hadn't saved in quite a while by that point, hence why I lost it. Might be worth looking into for one of your videos, if I still had my copy of the game I would, but rebuying it seems to be out of the question considering it's current value. I wouldn't want to emulate it since I'd want it's legitimacy to be proven. It was a North-American release version, played on a standard GameCube. I did eventually transfer some pokemon over to my copy of sapphire I had at the time, but I didn't live in a great neighborhood growing up. The house we lived in back then was broken into back in 2005-06, and a lot of my games/consoles were destroyed or stolen.

[@silentsteel009]

Isn't there a glitch where the zangoose can switch genders in the second, and catchable, encounter? Is that an indication of it being rerolled or is it simply the one value that changes

[@shinycollector]

I’ve not heard of that glitch, I test caught it and all the stats lined up the exactly same so idk

[@hozus.7330]

Yes! It happens because Zangoose doesn't save its stats until it's sent out against your character specifically. Or at least, the very first time you see it early in the game. I can't remember if it's saved the second time you see it sent out (ie. when you see it used against NPCs, then immediately face off against it yourself). This is unlike the Hitmontop in Colosseum, where it's consistent for the two consecutive battles (the first being against a NPC).

[@emotion_deluxe]

I really want an XD shiny ralts, but idk how to get one legitimately. If i am playing on my gamecube, is it possible to remove the shiny lock?

[@shinycollector]

So I’d like to point out that you *need* to hack your game to hunt that, you cannot under any circumstance do it legitimately. However, there are ways to play roms on a GameCube, if you’d like to do it on actual hardware, I’d recommend looking into that if you’re interested. Either way, you’ll need to alter an XD ISO (rom) to make it huntable

[@huhneat8908]

Since shadows are locked, and the only way around it is to hex edit, wouldn't that make them technically illegal? I wanted to have a shiny gardevoir ribbon master but having it technically be cheated feels a bit eh to me personally

[@shinycollector]

Well there’s two different words that kinda get blended by the community. Legal: if it’s allowed by the Pokémon company Legitimate: if you didn’t use any sort of fowl play to get it This is legal, as in it passes through bank and therefore Pokémon allows it (although I can’t guarantee this for all, but at least it worked on my Teddiursa). But it’s not legitimate because you do need to cheat to allow it to be shiny. Totally up to you if you’re okay with it for your Pokémon or not. But to me, it’s more about the challenge and having fun so I don’t mind it being illegitimate for my own :)

Two things: 1. According to Bulbapedia, you can clear Mt. Battle 3 times and get all 3 starters, one of each: bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Mt._Battle#Earth_Ribbon_and_the_Johto_starters 2. Since the information from the Zangoose or Nosepass is locked into place, why can't you encounter it shiny, defeat it, and find it again when you get your Snag Machine back? Wouldn't it still be shiny?

[@shinycollector]

1. Oh, coulda sworn it was 1 my b 2. You don’t see it shiny until after you catch it and it always appears normal for your opponent first. So you’d have half hour checks each time and that’s if you’re matching wr speedrun times

@@shinycollector I just managed to get one.

[@shinycollector]

@@kevinburke1325 no way, that’s dope! Congrats!

[@kevinburke1325]

@@shinycollector thanks! It has a gentle nature, but I am just happy I got it. I am playing the xg version where the shadow shinies are also unlocked. I am not resetting for every pokemon, however, I am doing it for shadow lugia, kyogre, groudon, and rayquaza.

Wow unlocked shinies are considered legit? I'm shook lol that's cool

[@shinycollector]

Yeah I was fully expecting my Teddiursa to NOT pass through bank but it did 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Mrperson0]

Shouldn't you put a disclaimer that removing the shiny lock makes the Pokemon hacked, even if Pokemon Bank/Home's terrible legality system allows them to go through?

[@shinycollector]

No, obviously hacking the game to remove shiny lock makes those shiny-lock removed shinies not fully legitimate. Anyone would be able to infer that

[@Mrperson0]

​@@shinycollector I would agree with that, but you still made a point to show that they can be transferred to Bank and Home, as well as noting the square sparkles when they are sent out in Gen 8.

[@shinycollector]

Mrperson0 yes because that’s pertinent information that one would not otherwise know. I also did clearly state that we alter the games code. If someone has half a brain they would easily come to the conclusion that it’s not legitimate.

[@Mrperson0]

@@shinycollector Would hope that it would be clear to those when you state that, but as I said, I feel when you mentioned that they could be transferred all the way up to Gen 8 is where the issue begins since it seems you are trying to legitimize them.

[@shinycollector]

Mrperson0 I’m not legitimizing them, but any time I do a less than legitimate hunt, and even on many legitimate hunts, people ask if they transfer. Most people don’t care if something is legit they just want to transfer. Also I guarantee there’s maybe only 1 or 2 people that will actually use this, and they’re probably people I actually know. My guy, you’re fighting a cause that no one but you cares about. I’m not going to reupload with an added disclaimer. You’re getting nowhere, your cause has no answer

[@TheGekijouban]

Players Starter Espeon or Umbreon and Duking Plusle are ensured to be unable to be shiny This was what i mean with duking gift pokemon

[@yugiohdeloestepr]

Has anyone shiny hunted the Shadow Lugia?

[@shinycollector]

Not that I know of

[@yugiohdeloestepr]

@@shinycollector Don't you want to be the first? Love your content btw keep up the good stuff.

[@shinycollector]

@@yugiohdeloestepr I want to go for it eventually but I don’t really care about being first. Thanks!

[@yugiohdeloestepr]

@@shinycollector That's so cool. I look forward to it. And you're right, being the first isnt a huge deal.
