[@daturavalentine6773]

why do that to yourself

[@daturavalentine6773]

like is there even a real money market for shinies? if not i don't understand the long term point, like i know it's unique and for collectors but like the amount of time required seems absolutely insane. reminds me of having a really rare CS skin except when you're bored of it you can sell it for actual money. even the Pokemon trading cards I get bc again, value. you could argue well you have to pay for a chance at a skin or a rare trading card but when you're an adult time = money anyway lol. I've literally never even seen a shiny in a game before so that's why I'm wondering if there's a real money market for it cus from a really casual numbers crunch for a starter it would take somewhere around 72 hours of constant resetting. it surprises me pokemon ppl can be some of the most hardcore grinders out there rivaling Korean mmo players lmao

[@conorfrost6866]

Honestly watching this filled me with satisfaction because when I first played Pokémon Y, the first encounter I got, that wasn't the guaranteed Pidgey, was a shiny Fletchling and I have great memories of that beautiful bird.

[@kiki8792]

I've got a very similar story, except my first shiny was Mawile (in Y)

[@TheBitishDragon]

So a nice trick to shiny hunting the gift Kanto Starters in this game is to have a full party you can then refuse the starter until there is a space clear and come back later and hunt it with basically all dialogue gone.

[@Inspectre11]

Playing pokemon for over 10 years and my first shiny (besides the red gyarados at lake of rage) is regirock in swsh. Pretty cool but also kind of bitter it took more than 10 years to find a shiny.

[@Quinnjamin]

You hate to hear it

[@secretlysaber5654]

I been playing since pokemon platnium and the first ever shiny was a hariyama i found when going through victory road in omega ruby, so i caught it and named it cancer, then traded it for a larvesta named Pork, sadly lost the game

[@lordseptickai1822]

Tbh i really thought that red gyarados was like the wallmart version

[@TheLoneClaw]

If it makes you feel any better, I've been playing Pokémon for 20 years and I have never, ever gotten a shiny (except for the red Gyarados from the Lake of Rage, of course). I remember trying to get a shiny Charmander via breeding in Soul Silver, doing everything to increase my chances. I spent countless days hatching eggs, but I never got that fucking shiny Charmander. :(

[@SapphWolf]

Pfft, at least yours was a legendary. I've been playing pokemon since Red and Blue came out. First shiny I caught (not counting ones given in the story like red gyrados or gifted as mystery gifts) was a Mantike in SwSh.

[@that_internet_guy7319]

If you look closely at the Kalos Routes you can see intricate details linking it to France, the beautiful Baguette trees in the background, the escargot under a box trap to catch pokemon if you can't afford poke balls and who could forget the posters for Glass Joe's boxing school. Truly a game for the ages. Thank you Papito, for another excellent video

Check the description. He did change the odds but he never specifies what he changed it to. He buried that disclaimer in the description but doesn't mention it in the comments or in the video and in the video states that the shiny odds are about 1/4000 and never mentions changing it. So he's intentionally misleading people into believing it's full odds and more impressive than it actually is. Very annoying when each time he catches one he's like "that took a couple hours" when it really didn't. I don't know why these people feel the need to clickbait and lie

My first non-static shiny was an Audino in Black 2… I didn’t know what shinies were so I ko’d it for exp. Later in a second playthrough I encountered a shiny Piloswine that ended up ko’ing itself with thrash confusion. In my latest playthrough of White 2 I encountered another shiny Audino, but had just struggled with catching an Eevee and only had a great ball… it broke out. On the bright side, Sword has been much kinder to me. I’ve managed to use the masuda method to breed myself a shiny Honedge, Litwick, Venipede, and Dhelmise, and in fact I encountered a second shiny Dhelmise in a raid only two days after hatching one! Which I personally think is an omen considering Dhelmise is my favorite Pokémon, the only shiny I caught in gen 7, and the first raid opponent that gave me a bottle cap. Also in raids were a shiny Dreepy, Avalugg, Dottler, Magneton, and some raid event shinies like magikarp and… uhhh the ice cube penguin I forgot the name and am too tired to look it up. Currently I’m trying to shiny hunt Blacephalon in the Crown Tundra because heehoo sparkly bowling alley carpet arsonist clown.
