I Caught “Uncatchable” Shiny Pokémon!

Today I'm trying to catch rare, Shiny Pokemon while BEING a Pokemon! Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC (specifically the Indigo Disk) introduces the Synchro Machine which we can use to control our Pokemon, thus becoming one! But it has its risks, mostly to do with failing Shinies. But using a method I discovered by accident, we're going to herd wild pokemon and essentially catch "uncatchable" Shiny Pokemon!
Thank you for watching and if you have any video suggestions, do tell! I'm all ears :)

2 videos in a row of getting trolled by Shiny Elekid - I am SO sorry LOLLLL

1) Definitely name her Synchro 2) You have basically become a Pokémon Professor

[@ViktorErikFade]

Was looking for a similar comment to this, I second this Tha and synchro sounds like a cute name

[@RioluMemez]

The Scraggy literary is an reference to my fail. I had latias but failed an scraggy :(

[@ZX_Asura_]

we need a Professor Catherine plushy

[@jeanmarcvgc]

A fun fact about synchro herding: wild species all seem to have a fear value, and each species that you use have a different intimidation value. If the species' intimidation value is higher than the fear value, they'll run away in the opposite direction on sight. If you don't, they'll move randomly. The intimidation value doesn't seem to be linked to anything in particular, but the intimidation and fear values are different, since Pokemon that aren't scared too easily, like Scyther, don't necessarily scare away Pokemon that are easier to scare. I won't pretend I researched it very extensively, but that's what a few hours of research gave me as a conclusion.

[@mouthwaterin]

Interesting! Itd be nice to do some more research about this

[@MrLozzerfacee]

Would be nice if it explicitly says polemon with intimidate scare them away

[@AloneTheorist]

Maybe the ability rivalry could actually prove useful for something?

[@ranting2daMAX]

Someone should figure it out and make a chart of it or something, like just to find out what the best PKMN is for herding in terms of Intimidation. Maybe one could pick the fastest out of the more intimidating ones?

[@jeanmarcvgc]

@@MrLozzerfacee I tried researching if abilities made a difference, it looks like they don't. 0 correlation between being able to scare Pokemon and: -Level -Height -Weight -Type advantage -Base Stats -Movement Speed -Ability -Moves It seems strictly based on species.

[@Patterrz]

This Latias is a very powerful sheepdog

[@alexanderzitzer6743]

[@Spookworm]

I mean, I see no difference. A sheep dog might be a little fluffier, but I don't see why a short hair herding dog wouldn't exist. That right there is just a really fast herding dog, if I've ever seen one

[@pokefoxgd]

lol yes

thank you for teaching us the most effective way to suffer shiny fail depression

Dang Catherine is accidentally turning into a shiny professor

[@dpanimating]

Gen 10 pokemon professor is here!! Hello i am Catherine and I study on pokemons movement.If you complete the pokedex i will give you a shiny charm with boosted luck.

[@Vulkinfan]

Shiny Catherine failing shinies? This isn’t a shiny Catherine video, it’s a Purplecliff video!

[@ramonvandenheuvel623]

so true🤣

[@ViktorErikFade]

Lol shots fired - No,pokeballs fired

[@jacobrocket1734]

for the second elekid it was at its roaming radius, that's why it didn't go closer to you. essentially, pokemon can only go a certain distance from the point they spawned from and when they walk its usually a set distance and the end point can only exist within the roaming radius. that's why the elekid kept walking back and forth. the roaming radius is bigger than the spawn radius. some pokemon are an exception usually ones that are on a set path like certain carkoal and rolycoly in the area of the orthworm titan or the rolling donphan near the top of the mountain next to alfornata.

[@jennybutler8181]

great to see latias is getting more friends by herding them like sheep

[@allnoobsyt]

Absolutely name the Latias synchro

[@IsaiahMonson]

ye i like that name

[@_Wooxy_]

1:04 SHINY TYROUGE IN THE BACKGROUND YOOOOOOO

[@BubblyStick3]

Lol

[@NoahHacksaw]

I'm shocked more people aren't noticing in the comments

[@sethwilkins132]

Maybe that's one that she caught? Probably not though but let's hope so

[@Sailor-Khione]

I'm waiting for her to say something. Her silence either means she saw this and didn't want to comment on it or, she hasn't seen this one yet

[@ruehall5489]

Neither of the tyrouges there are shiny the one thats further back looks like you could mistake it for a shiny but when it moves you can see the brown on its legs

[@c0mpu73rguy]

The position of the player character during synchro mode gives me anxiety. I always feel like he's gonna blow up a vein in his head by concentrating too much. Also, I vote to name this Latias Synchro. 20:51 Great, now I have something else to be anxious about while in synchro mode. Thanks Catherine ^^

[@SkarmoryJr-ov5zy]

15:40 that breviary and farigaraf really said “ you shall not pass !”

[@c0mpu73rguy]

11:40 And this is why I fell in love with this pokemon during gen 7. I didn't care about it before but when meeting one during a very low point in my life cheered me up. I love his laid back and yet goofy attitude.

[@dpanimating]

Gen 10 new professor :- Hello my name is Catherine and I study on pokemons movement! If you complete the regional dex i will give you a shiny charm with boosted chances.

[@SNG4622]

The lesson we learned: Be like Farigiraf, conquer your fears.

[@BrookAfroSkeleton]

This video just made me even more terrified of using synchro mode

[@insertclevernamehere1186]

I still haven't even used Syncho Mode yet due to paranoia...

[@Sailor-Khione]

I only use it when I'm doing an outbreak and I have my pokemon very close by

[@ninjabarbee3979]

Since it gave you so much grief, I recommend naming the Elekid “Pain”

[@Pokemaniak180]

Why does Latias having hands look kinda natural

[@TwiliPaladin]

The artist was right.

[@justadude450]

The human hand Latias. Not as bad as I expected.

[@hazzard_destroyer]

The shiny Krokorok should be named Kronk lol

[@lunaandzoedjurovic3450]

7:24 “ it looks like a shiny, kind of”

[@SpiderLydia]

Giratina: *"I am darkness, god of the underworld, the Pokemon of the Shadows. All who behold me fear my near limitless power."* Farigiraf: "Bet, my name's Jeff."

[@hazzard_destroyer]

Catherine just torturing herself to figure out the real Pokémon science lol ❤️

[@eeveetrainer4849]

At this point, Shiny is becoming a pokemon professor studying the effects of the syncro machine in relation to wild pokemon. I'm all here for it!!

[@el_zinga]

You mean Catherine, right? With all due respect, calling her by the name 'Shiny' doesn't feel right.

[@eeveetrainer4849]

Who else would I be referring to?

[@TheNovaLeague]

Did on the road to viridian city summon the giraffe???? I’d like to think so. Banger video concept the thought of the time spent scares me

[@Carlitos_66]

This reminded me that I failed a shiny Tyrogue during the Synchro Machine tutorial, I was so sad

[@All_That_Jazz]

Watched this video as I played a story playthrough of Legends Arceus. God, my nerves were going straight through the roof trying to simultaneously try to catch an alpha Torterra while you were dealing with that Farigiraf.

[@fishery674]

7:14 rip smeargle you will probably not be remembered

[@lillight3301]

This seems like a great idea for a group challenge where they have to only catch shiny pokemon with this method (i would suck at this 😅) also congrats on no more scruff tech 🎉

[@IbbickYT]

Oh god why did we let the latias have hands

[@Vulkinfan]

Human, I remember you’re Pokémon catching shinies

[@CoDPlayer45435345]

Audience: How many shinies do you need to fail in this video? Catherine: Yes.

I have caught so many shinies watching your videos, thanks for being such an amazing influence and inspiration! I also would have no idea how to shiny hunt without your channel.

[@drakeling870]

Shepherd could be a good name for your latias

[@KaoticKitsune]

Learning all of these things and just from watching the pokemon, their behavior and reactions to other pokemon... you're on the way to being an actual Pokemon Professor.

Yes! that thumbnail was so worth the wait lmao. props to the artist

Hearing Catherine went to Miku Expo in Vancouver (Which I’m sad I didn’t hear about since I live close enough to have gone 😢) was awesome as a fellow Vocaloid fan

[@THGMR-ox7sd]

I would have loved to do this to that one shiny fletchinder I accidentally killed in synchro mode. I didn’t even have time to process it but I definitely remember it being shiny for those few seconds I saw it. Doesn’t help that fletchinder are the type of Pokémon that go after you rather than running away or just chilling.

[@anthonyoliver418]

I wish there was a Pokémon game that was a different genre because you got to play from the perspective of the Pokémon, like a platformer where each Pokémon has pros and cons in how they allow you to beat a stage

[@Clythez]

I recently stumbled on your channel, i have binged an entirely unreasonable amount of your content, i absolutely adore you & your content, that right there is clearly Synchro, the Latias. Liked and subscribed and all that Jazz #WooperTrooper

[@timotheatae]

Your artist was cooking with the Latias' hand.

[@noahthelunardragon]

when the dedication to a challenge bites you

[@ForgieDusker]

it's funny to see you hunting a shiny Tyrogue near those three puddles, because i was actually just the other week hunting an oubtreak shiny squirtle (and yes, they only spawned in the puddles, i wanted to kms) and ended up getting a shiny tyrogue along the way the odds are slim, but not none, that we both found a tyrogue at the same time

Thank you for getting that shiny trapinch. Once when I was syncing with my raging bolt I found a shiny trapinch. I thought I was close enough to it to catch it but I couldn't find it. I took a video on my switch and I was close enough but I ran around to much so it de spawned. I would also like the trapinch to be named Stone.
