I have watched 3 or 4 of these EK winning long vids, but this must be the best one for me, the E4 team and strategy choice was such a fucking hurricane of fresh air that it got me stuck to the screen till the last bit of the hp bar went down. It was masterful. Congrats to you and the editor!!!!

[@abstract_advocat]

Why are Pokemon slowly becoming shiny as the run carries on? Is this multiple runs stitched together to tell a full story?

[@Moxi]

Great question - in my stream I have a channel points redemption to make any mon shiny using PKHEX. So by the end almost every min has been redeemed. I also use PKHEX to check IVs, and that’s always shown on screen to viewers to make sure I’m not being a silly cheater. It’s all the same run!

[@abstract_advocat]

Ahh that makes sense! Thank you for the quick response. I just couldn't make sense of the Mon's changing seemingly out of nowhere. The suddenly purple Swampert completely caught me off guard! I'll definitely have to add you to the content watch rotation. Great editing and storytelling. @@Moxi
