I agree. The shiny luck here is absolutely absurd, especially compounded with things like immediately catching two legendaries with extremely low catch rates at 100% health. The odds of this many highly rare events happening in one run with so few resets are very slim. And the fact that you’d just so happen to get such a run when you decide to stream and record it on a whim? It’s all just too farfetched for me.

[@nonameshere3270]

The thing about SmallAnt, is his overwhelming resistance to boredom. I bet he could sit in a room for 20 hours, talking to his chat, not even faltering in terms of energy. Like take the first shiny(Totodile) for example. He talked to us about ghost stories at about 39 resets, and his voice was completely fine. You would expect for his voice to quiet down after 4 hours of doing nothing but resetting. BUT NO! Mans is talking like he started the run 2 minutes ago, and his energy level didn't change throughout. That is quite impressive, and not many people(such as myself) are able to do that.

[@heartfeltdesu5477]

It can happen. The odds of one Shiny appearing doesn't impact the odds of another Shiny appearing. It's theoretically possible for someone to encounter 10 in a row.

[@ricksaburai]

@@heartfeltdesu5477 it doesn't change individual odds, but getting them in a row is a probability function with microscopically smaller odds. Shinies have a .02% chance of appearing, and without methods that bring that up, finding 10 in a row is .0002^10. That's 1 preceded by 37 zeroes.
