The thrill of a shiny legendary Pokémon is SO much more than any other shiny Pokémon! Congratulations!

[@angle4096]

True, when I got my shiny rayquaza I popped off so hard

[@luvbug2079]

hello hasan😯

[@xxgreninjaplayzxx214]

Lol hasan i found you in another yt channel comments :)

[@Crimzotonic7140]

Hi Hasan lol

[@mysterytrainer677]

I’m sword and shield I actually got a shiny legendary through the second dlc, with the dynamic adventures or whatever you call them

[@angle4096]

I hunted for Rayquaza on Brilliant and I have to say that has to be one of my favourite hunts so far

[@PurpIe.Potato]

I’m doing that rn I’m at 1000 encounters 😢

[@jacobskinner6926]

i got after 2.5k+ encounters

[@yugzz]

The rng stuff is really cool but I would say full odds hunting hits a sweet spot like nothing can. 27k encounters for a shiny zubat in hgss and it’s still the coolest shiny zubat that I’ve found. Congrats on the Giratina, looks great in SV

[@tcharrow24]

hey look it’s you

[@darrenmapplebeck3741]

Spoiler

[@jadegaurdian4030]

i feel the pain of hunting legends in this game over 10 thousand encounters in and nothing for my shiny rayquaza and what you say about the longer you go you start to think it is the shiny is so true

[@angle4096]

Dude I also hunted for rayquaza in this game, I destroyed 1 controller purely out of mashing A but it was so worth it

[@imablisy]

Thanks for the shoutout, it's always cool to see other content people try out manips! I hope you try it out in some other games, gen 3s manips are very engaging imo.

[@mrheisenberg5780]

Lazy ass cheaters

[@ManManManManManManManManMan012]

​@@mrheisenberg5780 How is it cheating? You aren't modifying any code in the switch or the game or using any hacks. The softwares simply read the numbers that you give it, and it tells you when to press A.

[@lucky_mcgee799]

I'll be sure to do this for arceus and darkri thanks man

[@CGammer101]

Once, I was doing a Max raid adventure, and I got a SHINY MOLTRES! I got it after the galarian moltres ran INTO ME, and I completed around three moltres raids before hand. I was so excited!

[@ChileMoore]

Congrats on the shiny! Watching this for inspiration on my sapphire hunt, im on 12k RE in granite cave

[@lIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII]

“A bit of a hacker” _has every shiny legend_

[@stormym.1973]

I hunted for my Rayquaza using dynamax adventures in sword and shields crown tundra DLC. Recently also got Kyogre, 1/300 or 1/100 with charm can't pass that up. Being able to capture 4 different Pokemon each den the odds look more like 1/75 or 1/25 with charm!

[@pokemontrainerkywan8327]

If you think you had it worse, I shiny hunted Dialga DURING my BD playthrough which I did get after a few days and when I finally caught it, I was relieved after putting my playthrough on hold due to a shiny hunt that was planned in advance 💀 While I did enjoy the game, that part of it became a lot more memorable to me as I went so far with almost no breaks in between, I even got illusions of Dialga being green instead of blue until I saw the actual shiny in the end.

[@andreasson8986]

It took me about 2 weeks worth of soft resetting for getting a Shiny Palkia in Shining Pearl. And after I beat the league I didn't touch the game

[@Juuchan17]

Congrats on the shiny! It looks so good in SV! I'm still on my full-odds wormhole soft-reset hunt for Mesprit in Ultra Sun, and it's been over 6600 resets in 5 years. I need to actually get back to that so I can finally bring it over to Paldea!

[@bredwyn]

Have you done it yet ???

[@UmbraStarWolf]

Giratina has always been my dream shiny so knowing I can RNG manip it to get it easier is fun

[@Jediwhoever1]

I shiny hunted arceus ever since it that update came out and I got it a couple weeks ago in may and I spent so long resetting that I stopped counting in the thousands. If you’re wondering I had to master ball it in order to catch it since it was struggling. I was definitely way over odds since I did the hunt very consistently.

[@Benvyious]

I got him in 600 resets

[@aidanrmacgregor7537]

I tried out RNG manipulation to get a cute charm glitch save of platinum and was shocked at how easy it was. Now I can pretty much have any gen IV or earlier Pokemon with sexes shiny if I want them for playthroughs of later games.

[@antonioarmanini7217]

I actually like bdsp and i am currently shiny hunting palkia in shining pearl.

[@Baldgo]

But brilliant diamond is still better than one of the alternative methods... Going to the crowned tundra... that dialga still haunts me...

[@samwise495]

The Shiny Charm doesn't work on wild pokemon? Then what's even the point?!?

[@blkmge]

In January 2022, I shiny hunted Regigigas in Brilliant Diamond. It took exactly a month with 2-3 hours of attempts daily. I was absolutely ecstatic, even days after finally catching it.

[@blacksaiyantrevor]

Max lair in swsh: I am definitely a joke. I don't even have to ask.

[@Nebula4211]

Nice video as always! Totally understand why you rng manipulated it tho. I spent 170 hours hunting my arceus on bdsp, which is like 8k soft resets as the encounters are like 55-65 seconds each.

[@aesthenetic1187]

Damn yesterday i catched it in my 7th reset... Just started latios now and i guess that my luck is over and it will be over 10k encounters

[@ayoonine]

What's made shiny hunting easy for me especially for starters is that I soft reset 10 times then end the session. I'm trying to get a shiny from 1-10 and it's helped me get the starters quickly

[@groudoggo]

My brother got the legit shiny galarian moltres from that event code. He still has it to this day.

[@Lowkeyloafki]

Im working on getting shiny zygarde 😅 no luck yet lol, congrats!

[@eldyllo]

I hunted for shiny Ho-Oh in Brilliant Diamond. Finally got him after 13,896 encounters and MONTHS of resetting. Caught it in a luxury ball, and immediately jumped into a Rayquaza hunt. I have no master ball.

[@fredthegonzalo]

I hunted all my shiny legendaries in oras and ultra sun and ultra moon with a few in sword and shield. I believe those are the best games to shiny hunt legendaries in

[@sergiocarrasco-sq6it]

Damn giving up after 50 hours is crazy lol

[@nighlystorm6458]

bro the swimmers line was outta pocket fr

[@Rcd5000]

I don’t want any remakes if they’re like bdsp but I would love remakes if they’re like Legends: Arceus.

[@thatonepossum5766]

As a fan of Unova, they could make BDSP-but-it’s-Unova and I wouldn’t even care so long as we got Legends Kyurem to go with it.

[@Gorgosauruslibra]

@@thatonepossum5766yeah but kalos needs something for z and I feel like heonne needs more even though it got great remakes

[@Corrupt01godmiai]

@@Gorgosauruslibrayou predicted the future

[@theeeveetrainer9032]

Simply wonderful video! Hope to see more creative content with the release of home compatability!

[@user-bn7jc5fb5i]

Imagine that giratina uses vanish after that premier ball😅 congrats 🎉

[@sinlesspharo]

I kinda wanna try shiny hunting giratina in bdsp now cuz of how crazy my luck is with him, in go I caught both forms shiny in under 10 raids and I got another shiny in only 7 raids in dynamax adventures

[@mgauslexo9118]

Did a full odds shiny hunt for Dialga and got it in 90 resets. My luckiest and only shiny legendary ever.

[@ZariosMH]

it took me like 3 days to get a shiny giratina i got it when bdsp came out and i was so happy it was my first shiny legendary i actually got and didnt trade for!

[@dagoatman5161]

I Hunted shiny GIRATINA for 1 or two weeks now… it starts to burn into my dreams

[@JsAwesomeAnimations]

I’ve been resetting for a shiny uxie for 2 days and still haven’t gotten it

[@qxiche]

I finally got dialga in bd last weekend after about 350 hours worth of hunting for it

[@daronhybridgaming3165]

Took me 3 years to get shiny Arceus 3! God dam years really wish they didn't do the shiny charm that dirty

[@sarisulo6963]

I got mine at the first try. Didn't even prepare I looked for fun and it happened to be shiny ._.

[@LloomiDreamz]

im currently shiny hunting latias because i want a special pokemon for myself (never hunted a shiny legend in my life) i agree BDSP is kinda tiring to look at

[@NoBrainEddie]

You should’ve done Mewtwo or one of the legendary birds in Let’s Go instead of playing a violation to the Pokémon community

[@ConnorGarrett]

I shiny hunted a shiny regigigas in swsh. I got it, but I don't know how long it took but I think it was around 2-3 days

[@chloramite567]

I shiny hunted Palkia in SP before I even progressed with the fricken story. Took me about 50 hours.. it was the most annoying and boring shiny hunt I have ever done, even more than Regirock on Sword... which I never did get

[@sparkgaming4159]

I’m so glad I wasn’t the only one who cheated a lot when they were younger lol. Of course I regret most of it now but I had a lot of fun at the time and that’s all that really matters

[@martysegovia8800]

Congratulations, l tryed ro shiny hunt giratina too, l gave up and just catch it lol

[@The_Defiance]

I got my first shiny giratina in platinum at 20 resets. And it was only no resets on the second day and it was sick. But rng manipulation is cool too

[@ObjectorOfThings]

Home Pokemon finally seeing the day of light after years of being stuck

[@PhaethonCrafts]

I don’t mind BDSP, mostly because the Underground is the best part of the game and is pretty chill.

[@BlueFars]

I once started a reset hunt for Rayquaza in USUM and got it in about 18 resets xD

[@Chewwss]

why the hate for bdsp ? only thing i genuinely dislike is that they made the events for darkrai, shaymin and arceus limited time...

[@SOFIAHERNDEZ]

Arcues is not limited time

[@Twinklethefox9022]

Im surprised you said this was easier than the max lair dens (alot of players say its easy) then again... I don't have the best luck. I only got like 8 shines and 3 of them where my target. (Durladon, toganetic, bisharp, palosand, and Jynx) and my targets (tapu fini, tapu lele and creselia) Also I soft rested for a shiny azelf in ultra sun. Even though i got him, I won't be soft resetting for a shiny for a while. Also i lost ultra sun and i hope to find it again so i can transfer over some shines.

[@angelskysilver5219]

Honestly you should do a video where you rng manip more shiny pokemon in bdsp

[@pokeman853]

I finally found a shiny kyogre in bdsp after over 6 months and thousands of encounters

[@guwuega8010]

RNG manip is a totally legitimate way to shiny hunt and super cool. i’m glad you didn’t do it and lie about it, cause that’s when it’s not cool.

[@gamerkal3801]

I did not fall for that LOL!😂😂😂

[@SirGArilla]

No lie I definitely stopped playing BDSP pretty quickly. Recently I tired again then got turned off when it reset my mystery shard on the Regi when I exited the battle.

[@NotNotGrape]

Trails, I’m trying to start a KZbin channel for Pokémon shiny hunts, my favourite Pokémon is gallade. What do u recommend for a name?

[@ctrI_w]

I still have not caught my giratina in brilliant diamond. I tried shiny hunting it, around 100 hours of resets later and I still don’t have it. This game is horrible to shiny hunt in

[@pikasheep]

You really jebaited us at the end lol. But I was actually thinking about doing the RNG method. I did it too and got a shiny Latios and Rayquaza. I was not expecting for you to actually do it. I want to eventually get shiny Giratina too doing the method but I gotta play through Brilliant Diamond ew 😫 Congrats on the Giratina tho :)

[@Niner4Life09]

I shiny hunted for latias, and she caused me a bunch of pain

[@jaggerryba3791]

I'm doing this with Palkia so I can get a legal origin Palkia in Scarlet using the Lustrous Orb you have to bid for. I'm on hours #3! Keeping Strong!

[@aliceflickinger2830]

Do you need brilliant diamond to get shiny giratina

[@LegendaryHeroponRiki]

you can get it in sword and shield in dynamax adventures or get it in pokemon go raids

[@The_Pikaboi]

Full Odds shiny legendaries always a trip. Ive gotten some in a day (Nihilego and Arceus), some within a week (Celesteela, Lugia), then some torture me for months (Regieleki and Registeel)

[@theliara8202]

I'm currently doing a shiny only professor oak run of BDSP and my Piplup took over 100 hours of soft resetting...

[@minesplay]

what a twist

[@cluq6609]

I spent 3 months soft reseting for giratina in BDSP and never got it.

[@liyunzir2655]

I hope you are doing well Mr Trails

[@erisneedsoloyolo]

Me, thinking about the Italian streamer who found it random on stream :')

[@bluefaygox23]

I refuse to hunt a legendary solely because it takes 50+ hours… I don’t the attention span to reset like that 😭

[@Prime42096]

I have those same controllers

[@Prime42096]

The purple and orange

[@Mentally_slow_Regigigas]

The first shiny legendary/myhical i hunted was darkrai in brilliant diamond i know your pain

[@birdplushie]

i am 88 hours into my darkrai hunt after going 110 hours for arceus :) i never even wanna look at bdsp after this so i get it

[@Benvyious]

Damn man I got arceus in 6 hours 😅

[@shinylugia]

Lmao did the same thing to get 3 legends

[@yelling3874]

That's by far the best subscribe reminder I've ever heard 😂

[@RIP-hd8ln]

I’ve just had the biggest mis fortune ever cause you see I was playing Pokémon alpha sapphire. I was playing a randomized version of the game, and I got a full odds shiny and I had no pokeballs….. it was a swinub I hate my life

[@chadgerman3987]

One time I had encountered a shiny cresselia in pokemon platinum but since I had started to regularly use an action replay I had not been sure if it was legit.

[@pure_cha0s605]

Honestly, I did buy BD to shiny hunt legendary pokemon, but I kinda like the game, not the story, but just kinda everything else

[@Kz-Kunai]

anyone else realise that the first time he says subscribe the subscribe button as a rainbow affect or was it just me?

[@corbangonzalez4935]

You think you had it bad? I read a reddit post of someone who has been hunting giritina in bdsp for over a YEAR

[@pokepatyou]

In my Day 8 and no shiny yet, ugh my luck!

[@zemonke3237]

You started your hunt on my birthday

[@shadowt5542]

I've never been able to beat Falkner in Infinite Fusion lol, I can't get through his annoying gym

[@Zivin]

To this day I am furious that my favorite generation got absolutely shafted in their remakes. We deserve proper remakes of D&P and itll never happen now.

[@pmrobin8]

RNG manip is cool

[@seanfisher7707]

The shiny charm doesn't work on wilds... Did... did they fix this? Cause as someone who wants to hunt pretty much all the legendaries - oh dear.

[@kiaparker9992]

My first shiny legendary reset was arceus in bdsp

[@APECX.]

bdsp is AMAZING for shiny legendary and its awesome (its also my favorite pokémon game lol)

[@SamFromSolitude]

I'm still figuring out RNG Manipulation, there's been a few errors with getting the blink seed which I'm still trying to fix. Thing is, I have tons of Legendaries I want Shiny in Brilliant Diamond. I've been sitting on the Darkrai and Shaymin events since release to get them Shiny, as well as the Arceus event from beating Legends Arceus.

[@Rsuav3]

Everytime i see a shiny hunt I thank the shiny gods more for my hunt for palkia which I got on my 23rd reset. Me and my friend just bought bdsp and said when we got to the palkia/dialga encounters we’d shiny hunt them and I would do it on and off once I got there for the next two days. whilst my friend only had about 10 resets I was praying every single encounter for a shiny and then on my 23rd try I was blessed with my beautiful pink palkia, which I named God eater. my friend ended up trying over 100 times, still no shiny dialga and gave up. I’m still wishing for him the gazillion odds shiny dialga.

[@TheTrueMorse64]

I tried shiny hunting Arceus in BDSP when that came out but I got impatient and couldn’t do it, and I would have tried RNG manipulation but I didn’t have the hardware to do it

[@henryhawkeyeguy]

tbh I like bdsp

[@obiwanshinobi87]

Currently shiny hunting Arceus on bdsp.... I'm losing my mind

[@Liam-bk8rz]

Isn't not legitimate because of rng manipulation

[@matteochrisanthopoulos9694]

I’ve hunted for SHINY Latias in Pokémon sword before, with no shiny charm, and I never got it even for a year

[@TheLuminousWarrior01]

I shiny hunted Giratina in BD, and…I’m not even joking…it took 30 soft resets at full odds. Can’t wait to transfer him to P:LA!

[@AbyssTheVoidChild]

Hi trails this is another attempt to try ask you to do a Collab with me

[@WorstTrainer]

I did 4000+ encounters I had no computer or I would've RNG manipulated it. Mine ended up being a XXL one short of XXXL almost got the ribbon lol

[@Heyitsmikex]

You should’ve just done the hunt in SWSH in the dlc

[@jaredmetz77]

the best way to do it honestly

[@theogonzales2135]

Yes it rng all the ramas Pokémon it took a day to get all them the longest part was getting all the shard
