Patterrz Reacts to "Pokemon but I can only use SHINIES"

[@SpiderRiderKya]

Listen, Smant's luck is dependant on what is the funniest possible outcome.

[@shadowdragun]

So he has toon force?

[@theamazingspooderman2697]

​@@shadowdragun something better than toon force

[@sovannraseang]

@@theamazingspooderman2697 Comedy timing force

[@calebdelaney1162]

True

[@Crxsseyed1]

Smant, just like alpharad, has a type of luck called “whatever the fuck is funniest will happen”

[@theamazingspooderman2697]

a different form of Murphy's Law

[@something0393]

"If something is hilarious, it will happen" - Alpharad's Law (Or Smallant's Law)

[@emeraldfinder5]

For anyone genuinely curious, prior to finding the shiny starter, SmallAnt was asked to measure his hand, he did it out of frame and said it was almost 9 inches. So, people wouldn’t let it go.

[@AngelicGuardian36905]

Chikorita was my first starter ever and I named her Hibiscus, it's so nice to see another big fan of the line

[@dynastyoverdrive8076]

The Chikorita line wasn't 100% a starter I would pick, but so far I've been so attached to shiny Meganium in Pokemon Sleep xD

[@jasonmarholz2427]

My first Shiny starter was a Heartgold Shiny Chikorita I named him Pearston

[@RathalosNamedKuroo]

Oh my god when I picked it I named it Plume, like Plumeria😮😮

[@SuperFlashDriver]

Same here, I love ALL of the 2nd generation starters. Gen 1 starters are good, but I do think both Gen 2 and Gen 5 starts and its evolutions are my absolute favorites of all time.

[@Snow_Koku]

​@@RathalosNamedKuroo that's crazy, you couldn't have known that at the time tho lol, so that's really cool!

[@MetaGiga]

I remember that my first ever shiny was a Spinda when I was like 7. I had no idea what a shiny Pokemon was and only caught it because it was green and green was my favorite color. A few years later, I found out what it was and thought: “Oh, cool! That was actually a shiny!” Even MORE years later, I found out that it was, quite literally, one in an approximate four billion, and thought to myself: “Holy SHIT-,”

[@Daltonownzyoulol]

mine was a rattata in leaf green, was so disappointed when it evolved lol

[@MetaGiga]

@Daltonownzyoulol I’m sorry for your loss

[@mikeweimer4783]

Imagine my surprise as a 7 and 8 year old getting a shiny spinda as you did, then having my second shiny on a different cartridge also being spinda xD Hey man what can I say I really wanted Skarmory

[@EchoTheGayOne]

My first shiny was a spinda too!! :O

[@NeonBlaceplalon]

Mine was a sneasler and I plan to get another shiny sneasel in pokemon Z-A

[@Foodman_the_guy]

"9 inches? 9 inches of what?" well... you see when a-

[@bananaBread16]

We all are already aware, his luck is dependent on a law called funny

[@thattruegamernerd]

In HGSS an old man in Pewter City near the Route 3 entrance gives you a Silver Wing/ Rainbow Wing depending on which game you have which lets you fight the other games Legendary. Which is pretty cool tbh that you can just straight up fight both legends in the one game with no shenanigans or anything.

[@adamsager22]

I'm pretty sure it was in the original games too. It mentions it in the original strategy guide from the year 2000 by Prima. You need to take a relatively strong team since the other legendary is encountered with a level of 70. You could just use the master ball though.

[@Shockwave377]

“Patterz” (my memory is terrible. I don’t remember what happened in this video.) “Brain” (Free content)

Videos like this really make me appreciate how quick my own shiny Celebi hunt was in VC Crystal. RNArceus took a lot of mercy on me with that one.

21:55 Patterrz after smallant gets lucky

[@TheXtremeGod]

2 months ago, I did a HeartGold Shiny Badge Quest (Johto Only), got 9 shinies with total of 15,798 resets & 25,703 encounters. I only went for Gift/Static mons for the shinies.

[@clover-bb5ps]

25:22 I GOT JUMPSCARED BY MY OWN NAME LMAOOOOOOOOO

[@circuitcraft2399]

I love that Cream was named after the speedrunner FootCream, and the cream-colored Eevee was a pure coincidence.

[@SweetBananaDigital]

Chikorita fans represent! I love grass starters and I love dinosaurs. The Chikorita line will always be among my favorites because it’s the first sauropod Pokémon (my favorite kind of dinosaur).

[@theamazingspooderman2697]

no one will represent as Chikorita fans aren't real

[@sharosenpai]

bro rolled a Nat20 on that Lugia.

[@mikeweimer4783]

I watched your Ceebi video to help me cope as I was hunting my own Celebi a month or so ago lol. I want to say it ended up around 12k-15k encounters but I wasn’t literally keeping track, just averaging based on how long I did it and how efficient I’d been. I feel your pain , and now I’m about 10k in for Suicune haha

[@katjosephperez8772]

6:00 Yet the PC boxes in SV still don’t show the shiny colors. It would be such a nice “quality of life” change. ConcernedApe made all the pickled veggies and wines be the color of the ingredient in v6.1, and I’m so spoiled by not having to scroll over each one to read the name. But Flabebe’s different colored flowers show in the boxes, so I know they could do it. It is a LOT more Pokemon than the flower fairies, but maybe they could do something, anything to indicate shiny on the boxes. Seeing the color change in the box would be so nice

[@justacoolguy5296]

14:20 that's 3 electrodes per reset so he spent a lot of encounter on it

[@keithshaughnessy1730]

Im playing Soul Silver right now for nuzlocke purposes (with Meganium. Whoop whoop. Chikorita gang. Definitely didnt pick a starter at random) and managed to get a full odds shiny. It was a hoppip. Still never hurts to have an extra leech seeder

[@SpiderRiderKya]

And yeah, you can get both Lugia and Ho-oH in the same game, it's just you get the box art one before the E4 and the other one post E4

[@cassandraspoelhof3752]

@ 11:31 UM DUDE NEEDS TO BUY A LOTTO TICKET! I think the odds of catching the roaming Legends is even rarer than a Shiny! That was *INSANE!*

[@CRAZYCLOWNTOWN]

The fact that the original shiny charizard is the reverse colors of shiny dragonite is kinda of cool

[@skysofaffx_z]

I started a pokemon Heartgold shiny only run in 2018... I only have 3 badges and 3 shinies, my Cyndaquil took me 5 years of almost constant shiny hunting and now I have to stop because my 3DS won’t stop crashing. Needless to say he got pretty lucky.

[@Waldo_I_Am]

Seeing the LegalEagle video there caught me off guard. Didnt think Patterz would be watching a channel dedicated to American Law.

[@5095smf]

Smant has so much patience, it's so impressive.

[@TwilightWolf2508]

9 inches is an old meme from his channel. Iirc he was measuring his hand with a ruler to prove his hands weren't small, but he did so below the camera lmao

[@antaluster]

We LOVE a fellow Chikorita enjoyer. Here's hoping for Mega Meganium in Z-A!

[@keithshaughnessy1730]

My hopes are for Chikorita to be one of the starters for Legends Unova (with the other 2 hopefully being Torchic and Popplio) and all the starters have regional variants of /Dragon.

[@BlazikenALitChicken]

I chose Chikorita on my first playthrough of SoulSilver. I thought it was cute and not to mention the final evo has my name in it being Megan lol. Meganium may not be the best but it is my baby. ❤

[@ValiantNomad]

It's so funny the only shiny that took him a seriously long time was the 1 shiny he accidentally skipped XD

[@fredthegonzalo]

My shiny celebi only took around 500 resets I didn’t count but it only took a couple hours

[@moodyethan5514]

My first shiney was a magikarp i randomly found on my 19th birthday. And i wouldnt have had it any other way

[@thefirespecialist9007]

Chaotic Meatball needs this Luck. Lol

[@brendanhart517]

I've probably had that many resets for my shiny lugia. I got one from soul silver and was in kanto in 2021 before my car accident where I lost the cartridge. I'm back up to Lugia and have been trying to reclaim the lost shiny for ages, using the train rides to and from work, lunch breaks. Months of blue lugia

[@DarknessDpa]

Patterz trying to add each starter roll as 3 encounters but forgot to also add the Electrodes as well since he was encountering multiple of them per reset too.

[@purpleluckxd371]

Actually you can see that he was counting each electrode separately

[@DarknessDpa]

@@purpleluckxd371 I actually went and looked at Smant's VOD to see and you are indeed right, my bad. I just saw some of the Electrodes missing and assumed he did that but I also checked at the points he did kill an Electrode but he still counted it as a reset.

[@diamondseraph9369]

Chikorita is my favorite Johto starter, and I always pick it when I play a Johto game. :)

[@emmak1837]

Bayleef is one of my all time favourites

[@bonjourmotatatam8686]

Using probability, Having 8 (or more) shiny in around 20000 encounter is about 0.37% While lucky, it's actually fairly similar odd to catch Lugia first try with a Pokeball (0.41%)

[@ltfguitar]

Ah yes, Smant's causing-eternal-pain-to-pokétubers video :-)

[@PokemonExpert2455]

I actually have a save file of Pokémon Soulsilver with a shiny Meganium. I also have a shiny Mewtwo that I reset for, and it only took me 168 resets.

[@atlassolomon3503]

We need shiny hunting streams back.

[@ThomasMoya-jn8zr]

If he got your odds for shiny she would have well over 50k resets let alone encounters💀

[@C_Gamer691]

6:20 back then I didn’t get it now I do

[@Strashky]

[@darkillusion3376]

9:23 Why would he not want a vaporeon? With a sassy nature vaporeon would have been the second best choice besides umbreon, and they both have good shinies (In my opinion).

[@theamazingspooderman2697]

type overlap as Feraligatr was pure Water type too

[@fredrice8650]

I'm not a big fan of chikorita or meganium, but bayleef is in my top 3 favorite pokemon.

[@hhjan594]

Pat, the issue of giving Meganium a Mega evolution is then it will become Mega-Meganium

[@KendraSinclair]

Meganium is my favorite from gen 2 starter lines even tho it is so bad. I would love them just to do what radical red did with it and add fairy

[@skyekingsbury]

[@Katchelina]

My first shiny was a poochyena while ev training an absol in emerald waiting to go to my grandma's for easter. I like Chikorita, I just like Cyndaquil more. Not a fan of totodile though.

[@KimParkkinen]

In my experience people tend to generally like Chikorita-lines design... But not the fact that is is just a horrible Pokémon stat and movepool-wise. I also belong to that group. Gib Meganium something to make it actually good. :( edit: Yes, you can get both box legendaries in both games. One you can catch pre-E4 and it will be lvl 45 and other will be catchable after reaching Pewter City and getting a key item (if I remember the process correctly) and going to it nest (The Tin Tower for Ho-Oh and the island cave thing for Lugia)

[@something0393]

It really doesn't help that all of the gyms with types that grass is good against are in Kanto and that the two first gyms are resistant to grass. They really set poor Chikorita up for failure which is sad because I really like the Chikorita line.

[@ShinyRanger47]

Don’t worry Pat, I have shiny luck like yours and my best friend has luck like smallant’s 😭 he was born with a better starting frame fr

[@Spookworm]

4:08 I'm a Totodile main forever and always, but I do absolutely adore Chikorita if only for her small dog energy,,, also I'm just an absolute sucker for grass type starters ngl

[@katjosephperez8772]

The GIANT Meganium in New Pokemon Snap is wondrous. It’s the size of a building and has a little friend. MEGAnium not being huge is kinda disappointing

You mean the video Chaotic Meatball released three weeks ago? "Nuzlocking the entire Pokemon series, but I can ONLY USE SHINIES?!" started with Red / Blue / Yellow.

[@kristophesiem5336]

I cant like umbreons shiny, since in stadium as I assume you know, umbreon has its rings change colors, which makes the shiny unremarkable to me, if they did a white body with gold rings, that would been better, in my opinion of course.
