[@phi_greek]

That snowrunt reminded me of my first arceus shiny, being the first pikachu I found in the game, it was just right there, I never planned on using it for my team, but she had other plans. I named her Kira, since Kirakira is glitter in Japanese. Now, she’s heading up the team of level 100 shinies going to flex on volo so hard, he immediately develops muscle atrophy

[@turtlenator6249]

My first legit, non-event shiny was a Bulbasaur in Pokémon Y when breeding for IVs. Was not expecting it, but not complaining. Some other ones close to me are Drednaw, the first Pokémon I shiny hunted in Shield, Regieleki, one of the few Gen 8 legendaries not shiny locked, and Arceus in BDSP.

I just hatched my first legit shiny charmander today. Watching this makes me want to continue hunting shinies. Nice collection!

[@Tetrabyt]

Oh wow, my first legit shiny was a scorbunny. Looks like we are fire starter twinsies

[@Meowthiroth]

Shiny fire starters are always fun to get! I hatched a shiny Speed Boost Torchic with some pretty solid IVs a while back after getting its parent from a dynamax adventure. Blaziken’s a bit of a subtle shiny, but I’d be lying if I said it didn’t look awesome. That darkened red/white color combo suits it super well.

[@CloudStrifeXBL]

Sylveon and Milotic are just pure love. I can't stop having a Sylveon in my team whenever possible ever since gen6. Such an adorable cute Pokemon, absolute fav of mine

[@Splaffy-0-]

Same for sylveon except shiny.... and... female... and I tend to be so attached to the "signature pokemon syndrome" I don't progress the story until I get the sylveon...

[@purplecosmonaut]

If you're seriously getting into shiny hunting now, I recommend you go back to gen 6 to try all the different shiny hunting methods in it. And there are a lot! Fish chaining, dexnav chaining, horde encounters, friend safari, radar, on top of the usual soft resetting, random encounters and breeding. You're bound to find a method that you'll enjoy. Gen 6 was fantastic for shiny hunting due to how many methods there are available. I've started shiny hunting seriously around 3 years ago with SH, and this year I've started branching out to older games. I'm both amazed by gen 6 shiny hunting and sort of sad that even tho I spent over 800 hours on my X game, I never tried doing many of these hunts. It's been over a week now that I've gone back to gen 6 and I just can't stop, it's just that nice.

[@futur3ndings651]

I've been working on a shiny dex for two years on my Y file. Only method I have any trouble with is the radar. Gen4 radar was by far much easier to do. But shiny hunting is very easy from gen6 onward. Even more so in games like legends arceus, so it comes as no surprised why those games are so popular hunting in.

[@lillith7257]

They're all inconsistent hell

[@anthonytaliaferro6115]

X was my first pokemon game and I played that game for so long shiny hunting my favorite methods was the fish chaining and horde hunting without shiny charm

[@Meowthiroth]

One time in XY I hatched a shiny Larvitar, found a shiny Murkrow in a horde, and then found a random shiny Lickitung in victory road within the space of one week. The only one I was actually trying for was the Larvitar, the other two were totally random. Couldn’t believe my luck! One of my friends has been working on a shiny living dex for a while now and the chain fishing method in particular has been SUPER helpful for him!

[@xatualakazam1811]

Right shiny hunting is better for later games. Imagine a 1 in 100hrs without those method is depressingly hard.

[@Meowthiroth]

In Legends Arceus, I was literally in the first mission in the Obsidian Fieldlands for not even ten minutes and I already found a shiny Buizel. Named her Eiko and she was a staple on my team for the whole rest of the main story :) I also got a shiny Mr. Mime pretty early and I’ve gotta say, it has to be one of the most polite shiny encounters I’ve ever had. It doesn’t run away or attack, it just throws up a barrier and sits perfectly still for you. Heck, mine even walked CLOSER after blocking/escaping from a few balls. Tbh I like Mr. Mime a lot more after getting that one in PLA because she was just so chill. Hit like a truck in battles too so I can’t complain, lol

[@fortiter2786]

I got a shiny Shinx there lol

[@teddy4560]

in literally the first 5 minutes the second mon i saw on my screen was a shiny bidoof. used him for the rest of the game even if he wasn’t the strongest

i got a shiny buizel like 10 mins in the game used it till lvl 45 then left it in the box

[@TacetTheTerror]

I had 0 shinys prior to this year. In 1,000 hours now have over 700. Have around 630 in Legends Arceus, 42 in Shield, and several dozen in home mostly of Go shinys.

[@jwalkrr]

I know that 1 in 8192 seems daunting, but it seems like you love shiny hunting, hunting in the older games (gen 5 and below) is SO fun. Definitely recommend you check it out since you hunt alot

[@SkillIssue999]

@Don’t care ye

[@manchovies2476]

@Harvester Of Sorrow i agree that they are easy to find but they're still shiny and 630 is insane

[@neonraytracer8846]

@Harvester Of Sorrow What is the definition of rare?

[@neonraytracer8846]

@Harvester Of Sorrow There's a difference in rarity, sure. But gatekeeping shinies make you look arrogant and they are still rare, just less so. Also, that is normal shinies. Go out and find me an alpha shiny (non static spawn) without resetting or using methods in arceus. I dare say it's about as rare as normal shinies at 1:8000. Do you also think 1:4000, that is, halving the rarity, invalidates all shines from the gen it was halved or what? The time spent doing these things is pretty much the reward, you have something to show for it, etc. Hunting for specifics is not about changes that happen but rather the effort going into it. Anyone who have a shiny legendary from 3rd gen still has their shiny legendary and the story to tell. It changes nothing, except when people are baby bitches and cry about rates that was halved in the main games a decade ago. Calm down and enjoy the differently colored pokemon. You are still special for doing the hunt for lower rate shinies, changing the rates doesn't change your accomplishment. The only reason to gatekeep this is to make others have a bad time. Remember this is a kids game, and in Arceus an 8yo would actually be playing the game way more while finding shinies they want without complicated mechanics or strategies. You're sad for gatekeeping, mate.

[@toeknee1636]

you've remotivated me to play pokemon. I preordered the games but I lost all my motivation but your channel and storytelling are so amazing that I felt like I needed to play again

[@giwrgostragoulias7981]

My first shiny was a shiny magikarp in pokemon gold, 20 years ago. Ah the memories

[@maggleworth]

you're so right about how each shiny pokemon just takes a special place in your heart. my first two shinies were an eevee (later umbreon) and a fennekin back in X !! I bred for them and they were probably my luckiest since I got them both in somewhere under 30 eggs each I think. shiny fennekin and its evolutions are my favourite I think, the silver, purple and red combo looks so gorgeous! the rest of my time was spent trying for a shiny vulpix with absolutely no luck, lol. also as someone who's been playing a ton of a different hatsune miku rhythm game recently, that ending... jumpscared me, but in a good way haha

[@SKScout]

I can honestly agree, back when I was first introduced to my first shiny, a random shiny sandile, that single encounter showed me that odds can be broken with enough persistence, and honestly lead me to finding more shines alongside that shiny-adrenaline surge... And maybe both forms of shiny goodra (Kalosian/Hisuian) + shiny-alpha-hisuian goodra because of being a wholesome favorite...

[@446pm]

haha i remember my very first shiny. it has a story, though its not all that much. I was playing a first playthrough of Pokemon Diamond and i had just caught heatran at stark mountain and was leaving when i got a random encounter in the grass. My reaction was incredible when i saw it was my very first shiny, a level 52 male Fearow to be exact. After celebrating by doing a lap around my house, i went to go catch it and saw that i was lacking pokeballs after trying to catch heatran for so long, lacking so badly that i only had 1 remaining pokeball. a repeat ball. now i had never even caught a fearow in this playthrough before so i was very very annoyed when i saw it was all i had left. i threw it and it miraculously caught, i did no damage or gave it any status effect either. was very happy that day :). i love seeing other people share their shiny stories in videos such as these because they are all such a unique experience to listen to.

[@sonicsforeskin9775]

I love this video. Shinys are not only collectibles, the moments your capture or encounter them are truly magic. I once was on a pokemon day and got the pikachu there as a shiny. First i thought that was normal and everyone got it shiny, but it wasnt. I was just very very lucky. And even after all those years i still got that pikachu save on my Pokemon X ^^

[@TheOriginalItsCake]

I love shiny pokemon, not just for their colors, but the fun stories I get to tell to my father about how, when, and the climax of how I found them, for example, some of my most rememberable shinies: Lucie, she's my only Alpha shiny, an Alpha Luxray, found her while heading to a Bronsor outbreak, if I took a different path I wouldn't have found her Charlie, shiny Crustle in UM, my first shiny other than pokemon go shinies On my very first massive mass outbreak, a shiny Cascoon, once I caught it, another one spawned immediately right after, on the same massive mass outbreak, I went to check out a Krickatot outbreak, heard the shiny sound, none of the Krickatots were shiny, was about to dismiss it has something else, then saw a random shiny Krickatot staring at me, named them Benny, Kenny, and Denny A shiny Rufflet, on Valentines day, my first legends arceus shiny A random, shiny Carnvine, on my birthday, I named him Bday Phill, heard the shiny sound, checked the Gible outbreak, no shiny, looked for ten more minutes, then noticed the Magnezone flying above me, it had a blue eye. My first random shiny in a game with half odds, Cheese, my shiny Wurmple in legends, then found a shiny Drifloon I named big ballooon about 30 minutes later. Full Odds, my shiny Quagsire in Platium, found him before I found a random shiny in a half odds game, was training my Tangela for Crasher Wake, and I found him, knowing he was shiny, before he even shined, it felt like it took extra long for the options on what to do appeared on screen, I had like ten seconds to process I actually found a shiny instead of 5, it felt longer than ten seconds though. Speaking of shiny pokemon in older games, I finally got enough money to buy a ds I could play my dad's ruby and firered files on, booted up ruby, it wasn't my dad's, it belonged to someone named Sayori, she had a shiny Zagoose in her box. Last shiny that's worthy enough to mention, as soon as I got Nintendo online, I wanted to trade, so I hatched some old eggs I had, you see, some of these eggs where Indeedee, I had sheild, so Indeedee I find are always female, but I can breed males, I wanted both gender differences so I bread a female Indeedee, and was thinking about making it a shiny hunt, so I used the Japanese Pikachu that you get from pokemon home, the only pokemon from another language I had at the time, hatched about 3/8, and left the other ones in the box because hatching Indeedee eggs takes a while, and it was about 5 days away from being extactly a year later from when I got the eggs, ONE OF THE EGGS WAS SHINY And I bid you not, right after, I saw an advertisement for an Aromatisse raid, hoped in, AND IT WAS SHINY (I had wanted one for a while, I ran away from on I found because I had a Spirtizee in my party, forgot that Spirtizee evolves by trade, as soon as I get online a raid for it is advertised, and it was freaking shiny.) That's all

Damn this is really impressive showcase! About two weeks ago, just when SV came out I decided to play USUM again cuz I can't get the new games rn, and on a whim I decided to try shiny hunting Yveltal. I gave up after a few hours, deciding to come back after I get the shiny charm. While I was searching for Yveltal wormhole, I found a whole bunch of shinys, tho those really don't count lol. HOWEVER, while trying to finish the dex, I ended up randomly walking into shiny Raticate and Digglett, which were my first full odds shinys I found, ever. I also managed to find shiny Clamperl with full odds as well cuz I misunderstood how SOS chaining works lol. Right now, I have completed my dex and got the shiny charm. I'm going to hunt for Yveltal now. Your channel has been very inspiring and fun watch while grinding, I hope you keep up the good work and good luck with your future hunts!

I got my first "technically" full odds shiny a few days ago (not counting legends arceus... where I caught a mantyke without realizing which would otherwise be my first). I caught a ralts in renegade platinum (without the increased shiny odds patch) while trying to learn how to chain pokemon across a few days of attempts. I think I broke my 12th chain (longest I gotten was 29) and found the shiny patch at a chain of 8. I couldnt believe how lucky I got consideding I only encountered around 100 ralts. And it appeared to have 2 perfect IVs which was cool too. I say technically full odds because it was so close to the start of the chain that the odds were barely different from finding one without the pokeradar. I believe it was around 1/6000 compared to the normal 1/8000 in gen 4. I might try to make it legal using pkhex and try to trade it over to pokemon bank since I'm playing on an actual 3ds with twilightmenu++.... never tried it before but I think it should work... though honestly I never used pokemon bank before either so idk.

[@MrTmb64]

I'll always remember my first 2 shinies. My first was a shiny M unown in my first playthrough of Pokémon Diamond, while doing the story with my brother. My second ever shiny was a shiny Bibarel, this time on Pokémon Pearl (We had both games and switched around to do a new playthrough), on my second playthrough of Gen 4. We were in a night train coming home from a trip and playing on our DS together, and it took me a whole minute fighting this random Bibarel to realize it was shiny, because I wasn't looking at the screen when it appeared so didn't see the stars. It took me looking at my brother's screen because he happened to be fighting a wild Bibarel too (what are the odds), and I was like "Wait, why's yours slightly darker than mine ?" Mind you, I was just about to knock out my Bibarel at that point. I then realized it was shiny, and proceeded to catch it. Absolutely love that slightly lighter Bibarel

My first full odds shiny was a Makuhita in Dewford Cavern in Alpha Sapphire.

My first shiny Alpha in this game was the Infernape on that little island. Never battled it before or caught it, so it was at base odds. I actually had no pokemon strong enough to catch it so I had to use all my EXP candies to level my Sneasler so I had a chance. After pumping it up to level 68, I was able to weaken it enough to catch it.

I know my first shiny was a Golbat from Turnback Cave in Pearl version that has since been lost to time, but I remember my first real meaningful shiny encounter (that I still have) was a Cottonnee in my first Pokemon Black playthrough from Pinwheel Forest, whom I dubbed “Blue Moon” (which made more sense when it evolved into Whimsicott). Since then, my luck was never particularly great outside of Pokémon Go, but just this past week I set out in PLA with the goal to obtain shiny Hisuian Zorua, and last night at 1:30 in the morning, my efforts were rewarded. I know that it’s easier than ever to obtain shiny Pokémon these days, but there is something insanely rewarding about both running into a shiny by accident AND setting a goal to find one and accomplishing it. Thistle the blue Zorua will be a treasured core memory for all of time.

Sadly many of my pre Gen 5 saves are gone now along with my childhood pokemon but I still remember it to this day. Who knows maybe I'll shiny hunt Diglett sometime, hell mabye even in Firered for the memory of that encounter! I have mainly hatched shinies, few soft resets, but I do still have some really cool shiny stories. My first pokemon I ever tried shiny hunting was Zapdos in Firered in 2016. I was hype on Pokemon thanks to Gen 7 and tried to find whatever excuse I could to keep playing. Why I decided on a worse odds gen 3 game over a game like ORAS I have no clue, but man 4000 encounters later when it finally shined it felt so damn good which led me down this rabbit hole Probably my proudest shiny moment is my shiny Celebi which I got from Crystal VC. I love Celebi and I love Pokemon mystery dungeon EOS so I had to go for it. Right when I was about to give up I open the VC menu right as Celebi pops on screen it was pink! I just sat staring at the screen for a good minute! Lastly, a few years ago I decided I wanted to get all the gold symbols in Emerald battle frontier. I wanted a Breloom for a spore and focus punch combo. My plan was to catch a whole bunch of Shroomish, compare the IVs of each and go from there. Shroomish as a side note is a rare encounter in petalburg woods, not easy to get. WELL I kid you not the very first Pokemon I run into was a Shroomish...a red one! Not only is this insanely lucky on a 1/8000 something 5% encounter but besides from Rayquaza which I also have, Breloom is my favourite gen 3 shiny. Needless to say IVs be damned I took that thing and conquered the frontier! Currently I'm into radar chaining BDSP, so far I got Nidoran male, Budew, and mareep! Just this morning I got a shiny staryu in SWSH through the enounter method. I expected it to take hours, 33 encounters! Sorry for the long comment, I really liked this video, haven't seen many like it and I wanted to share some of that with you!

I think my most memorable shiny is that small Litwick in White 2. I restarted my game not so long ago, and decided it would be super cool to have a Chandelure in my team as my second favorite Pokémon (the first being Aegislash, doesn't exist here) so I hunted for a Timid or Modest Litwick with Torch, and after like 10 resets, I got one with a small blue flame on its head. It was just wonderful because 1 chance over 8192 makes it absolutely insane, one of my favorite Pokémons being right here, being shiny and having a nice nature and Torch. Believe it or not but it also gave me Pokérus... I don't know what are the odds but I was happy as I've never been in Pokémon.

I just love shiny hunting - it started with me checking my old Black file (which I played when i was like 9-10) and just seeing one of my favorite shinies chilling there, a Reuniclus. My peak was probably when I was on-off hunting the Mewtwo in Soul Silver, and I got it 2 hours into my birthday, literally my lucky charm for eternity

[@IgnisToast69]

I had a really memorable moment when one of the giant pokemon spawned as shiny (luxray), I ran out of balls and died, and quickly rushed back after making some more only to find out he was still there and got the catch

[@GJSINNWWW]

It's a great list, mate. But damn, that Johnstone living dex shiny stream looks even more insane now.

[@samdy]

My first (and only I think) alpha shiny pokemon in Legends Arceus was a Lucario! I was beyond happy because I got it the first time I enconter it! And Lucario is my favorite pokemon too so, I will always remember that moment!

[@_DaBirbBro]

You will never forget that memory because you filmed it.

My first legit shiny Pokémon was in black and white, with people all around me at the youth center hacking shinies on their ds’s, I tried my hardest to get a shiny Pokémon on my only ds and Pokémon game at the time (which I borrowed from a friend). It took me a whole year of almost daily uncounted resets (potentially WAY over odds) and by the time I found my first shiny Pokémon, the friend I had borrowed the cartridge from had given it to me and moved. But finally on the way home from school on the bus, I found my first Pokémon, being a shiny kyurem! Sadly I lost both the ds and the copy of black two years later after a move, but that stuck with me so much that almost ten years later 21 and moved out on my own. I went out of my way to buy a ds, and a black cartridge, and finally reclaim my very first shiny not two months ago. Crazy how your first shiny can be such an important moment that so many people and I remember so much and in detail about our first shiny.

So my two favorite shinies were... Legends: Arceus - My very first outbreak was Teddiursa, which was great, because I wanted an Ursaluna on my team. I got there, and the SECOND one to spawn in was shiny!! :) Pokémon: Heart Gold - I was playing through and got to the point where Bill gives you an Eevee. I opened my menu to see if it had a semi-useful nature and BOOM SHINY. That was probably my luckiest!

[@ElysetheEevee]

Damn, you have like the exact same number of Shinies total that I have in GO. I only recently started Shiny-Hunting in GO (like about Q3 2021), but I think it's funny it's the exact same number lol. You're so patient for the mainline game Hunting haha.
