I Spent 300 Hours Hunting Shiny Locked Pokemon

[@Osirus]

Let me know which of the 22 shiny Legendary Pokemon is your favourite? I really poured everything I have into this video over the last six months so its a huge relief to finally get it published. Really Hope you enjoy!

[@jonathanwhite6881]

@@Osirus Solgaleo. I have been after that red 🐈 for months

[@Osirus]

@@jonathanwhite6881 Hope you manage to see it shine soon!!

[@raddadonline]

@Osirus I dunno, maybe I'm biased because I was there in stream, but that Lunala was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Rich.2288]

A difficult choice. I do have a real soft spot for Latias with it being my first shiny legendary.

[@jamesstone404]

@Osirus you know I’m still going for Shiny Entei or Shiny Raikou as roamers in Heart Gold. Have been for months now. I’m not sure if it bodes well that both of those are shinies you failed, but I’ll never give up!

[@justadummy8076]

Imagine spending ages to hunt for a Shiny Rayquaza and Pokémon just decided to release shiny Rayquaza for a Max Tera Raid 😂

[@aiboh.phobia]

i just found one (12 max adventures)

[@Jamstar213]

I found mine last week after three months of on and off hunting, open switch the next day to see it in the news tab

[@millercmdn]

Ironically, this was me about a week before the Shiny Rayquaza raid ..going back to play Pokémon shield and trying to get it from the Max lair den 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

[@lewismcmillen5768]

I hate that game freak shiny locked the legendary pokemon in SV. It’s clear that they would rather us buy raid passes to shiny hunt the legendaries in pokemon Go. What a disgrace…

[@decaporated_bryanthedragon]

Plus don’t forget that they have or used to have a real time event where you could go to someplace like GameStop and get it there but as of basically the end of 2024 it seems they are keeping them shiny locked forever 😢😢😢 and yeah WTF were they thinking when they thought of this

[@Spongario]

you can do 1 free raid a day and the bosses cycle back eventually

[@thelizziemanan]

I dont mind Dynamax adventures. It keeps my hands busy and isn't completely mindless, but I know it's not for everyone. I was dreading farming shiny Zygarde and was speechless when i got it on my 1st time beating it. While there are other fights that are obnoxious not needing to farm zygarde was a huge relief.

[@Osirus]

Shiny Zygarde on your first encounter is incredible, massive congrats on that. I still have to finish my Zygarde hunt I think I’m nearly 100 encounters so hopefully it shows up soon 😅

[@alexedwards5152]

I tried shiny hunting Necrozma in the DMax Adventures but got burnt out after 10 or so tries and then magically found one in Pokemon Go, it was in a Beast Ball too which made it even better!”

[@Tom-xt1jn]

I got Zygarde after 252 Dynamax’s it took a longggggg while so congrats skipping that xp

[@AkemiStormBorn]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN LUNALA IS A SHIELD EXCLUSIVE!? Oh my god I have wasted so much time getting mad at why I couldn't even find Lunala in my Sword Dynamax Adventures! Excuse me while I scream into the ether about how much time I wasted D':

[@zekromtrainer1222]

It IS a Shield exclusive but can obtained in Sword through the internet.

[@ImyIsStillHere]

And if you have a friend with shield you can join them In a raid, which is what I'm planning on

[@kevinwu2873]

Dynamax Adventures was the reason why I have over 1700 hours logged to Sword. It was a good way to farm with just a click of a button but it drove me insane. But my most insane run came during the pandemic when I once caught shiny Palkia, Lunala and Yvetal all in the same day. After that, it was just one long dry spell for a while.

[@Osirus]

I can so relate to that feeling…but even though a while ago massive congrats on the three shinies in one day that’s absolutely incredible hope that luck returns soon for you ✨

[@codynolan3725]

I'm up to 300 hours and have gotten 0 shiny legends in DA. All I've gotten is a stunfisk,vileplume, and tyrantrum

[@wurtknurte7283]

Commenting again after watching. The editing was phenomenal. Especially given just how much footage you mustve sifted through... Love your reactions, you're just so genuine and hype every single time. Shattered me when you reset over Entei haha. Also so glad I could help with the Solgaleo ❤

Incredible effort. I’ve only shiny hunted two legendaries so far - Rayquaza and Arceus - so satisfying when they appear but my goodness what a mindless grind it is!

[@andreapicci8015]

Osirus u lucky dawg! great video! really inspiring as i am also trying to shiny hunt legendaries for my shiny living dex using ultra wormholes! I'm also stuck with Zekrom! Pretty impressive hunt u did, but can you tell me how many hours in total did u put in? also what tool do you use to count the encounters? thks and keep it up, u're a huge help in making this community so special

[@Osirus]

@@andreapicci8015 thanks so much Andrea, for a counter I have it a little easier than most as I use my stream deck with its counter function in obs so I can just hit a button every reset I do to keep track, in the past before I had this I’d use the calculator on my phone with just a simple 1+1 formula then hitting the equal sign every reset to keep track, I’m not 100% sure but I think there are programmes online to help do a similar thing that you can also run on your pc. The hunt in total was over 300 hours the exact number I’m not sure of I’d have to go back through all he footage to find out but i started this in March this year and finished in early September. Good luck with your hunts I hope everything you chase down shines early for you! Keep me updated with your progress ✨✨

😅 it’s definitely been the most stubborn hunt we’ve done hopefully when we get back to it next week it’ll finally show up

[@Gossgaming36012]

So in the wormholes you can reset after saving before the legendary ?

Yeah just save in front of the encounter spot, encounter then reset if not the shiny and repeat until you find it, GL with the hunts if you take any on ✨✨

[@UnableToLoadUsername]

43:10 - I feel this pain, a year or two ago I did this very same challenge, except with every single legendary pokemon and ultra beast in the franchise. Solgaleo, Lunala and Necrozma are still the only ones I am missing due to the sheer horrible mechanics of the Dynamax Adventure Raids. I was so sad to see everything still being shiny locked in scarlet and violet as I was hoping to at least get those 3, if not also the sword and shield shiny locks (I do not count the Pokemon Go shinies or event ones as I want mine to be caught from a main series game). One day....

[@oliverlockhart807]

My first question is why dynamic adventures before shiny charm 😂

[@Osirus]

Good question 😅

[@kirby1781]

My best guess is that they believed 1/300 were already pretty good odds. Then they realized the speed of getting encounters to begin with and decided it would be better to get the charm too.

[@jamesstone404]

@ 25:00 my heart breaks for you brother. I’m still going for the shiny roamer in Heart Gold for Raikou & Entei. I remember when you streamed on KZbin you’d talk about this. I’m so sorry brother, but this video was amazing! Great job & I hope you stream again soon!

Picked up a 2DS and a copy of Ultra Moon recently, mostly because I hadn't played the Ultra games before and I wanted to get the console again. Wormholes just feel so much more fun than DMax Adventures, sorry SwSh, odds are great, but I do not particularly want to be spending 20 minutes on average for a check when I can get significantly more than that in older games.

But the 1st time I encountered it, it happened to be shiny and I didn't even know it until way after I caught it..Didn't know what the shiny looked like at the time and the only thing that tipped me off was the red star on the summary screen indicating that the pokemon was shiny..
