Pokemon Scarlet but I can only use SHINIES

Hello Wayfarers, this is a Shiny only challenge in Pokemon Scarlet with some additional rules thrown in. This shiny hunting video was a grind but I really enjoyed journeying through Paldea for my first time with only shiny Pokemon, and I hope you find the adventure to be as fun as I did.
*Giveaway details*
If you'd like to win all of the Shiny Pokemon that I caught during this challenge, you just need to have a copy of Pokemon Scarlet with a Nintendo Online membership, or a Pokemon Home membership, and a Discord account so that I can communicate with you while we trade, to avoid giving them away to the wrong person. To enter, please just leave a comment with a story or anecdote from one of your own Pokemon adventures, as I always love hearing about those!
If you could also like and subscribe that would be ace, but just a comment will do for the raffle. The winner will be chosen on *February 1st, 2024*, so you’ll need to comment by then to be in with a chance.
We completed all 3 storylines (Victory Road, Starfall Street & Path of Legends) for this video which is why it’s a little on the longer side for my channel, but I tried my best to trim it down into a manageable portion without sacrificing important elements. If you’re a fan of hunting for shinies in Paldea I think you’ll enjoy it either way, as I caught A LOT of shiny Pokemon in this video.

My story is short and sweet. Pokémon Sword and Shield just released, and I got my copy right away and began playing immediately. One Pokémon in particular that I was sure I would have as a main member of my team was Applin. So about an hour into the game, I'm walking through the grass just to get to the next area, and what do I encounter? My first ever encounter, full odds, shiny Applin. My thought was "wait isn't it red?" And when it flashed, I was in absolute awe. I still believe till this day that I was the first ever person in the world to find a full odds first encounter shiny Applin.

I think you're the first KZbinr I've seen who acknowledges the issues in SV for those of us with visual impairments, so thank you for bringing more attention to the issue. Let's hope Nintendo patches it in eventually. Also, congrats on your wedding!!!

My story comes from pokemon red, after getting the starter, I was running around the route before the league, until i found a full odds shiny nidoran male (found out bro was shiny after transfering it), which became the MVP of the run, and I still have him in pokemon home. And I try use him in every pokemon game I can (he's lv 100)

[@robertortega7638]

My first shiny in SV was a full odds lone Fletchling that I hesitated to encounter because I thought it was just the sunset affecting the color of the Fletchling 😅 didn’t know it was a shiny until I accidentally bumped into it.

I remember not too long ago when I found my old 3ds and found all my old Pokemon from my first games I had, I found my first ever shiny (a stunfisk), my teams for omega ruby and ultra moon, and the beginnings of a Phione shiny hunt I never finished.

I've got a story!! Back before I beat the game and completed my pokedex I was just wandering about the mountains. As I was going a shiny Dratini popped up! I was stoked and caught her immediatly. After that I jumped down to Fury Falls and there was a shiny Kricketot! Seconds after my Dratini! I caught it and when I came out of the battle and turned around there was a shiny Venomoth just staring at me! Three in under three minutes with no charm or boosts of any kind. It was madness! I also had a gitch happen with a shiny Vaporeon that was so damn cute and I was a plushie of. It looked like she was wearing a dive ball around her middle.

I remember my first shiny. It was a Roselia back in Ruby version. I was excited, but never used it for some reason. Anyway I sent it to Pokemon Colosseum so I could see it in 3D. I then forgot that I had it there and let my brother start a new file, erasing my first shiny in the process.

Awesome video! I have been playing pokemon for a long long time but only now have i started getting interested in shiny hunting, I'm looking forward to watching more videos of yours this was dope!!

[@Varigatou]

So glad I found this channel. I love your storytelling dude - looking forward to more!

[@mayhemgamer9796]

Love your videos I’m very sick right now I started just putting your videos on and listening till I fall asleep I enjoy the tricks that I’ll hopefully use myself when I start playing again

My story is how I lost a ghost type nuzlock to a fighting type move and it was in scarlet

[@oogabooga_102]

I shall tell a tale of my first shiny pokémon let me set the scene it’s the year Pokémon Ultra Sun and Moon released I got a nintendo 3ds for Christmas sure I’ve played other pokémon games before but this was the first game I owned and so I played it the minute I got it I never got spoiled on anything and I barely knew what exactly shiny hunting was I just wanted to have fun the minute I stepped in the grass after the catching tutorial I ran into a Shiny Yungoos I caught it cause it was Purple and it sparkled when I found it, Her name is Pez like the candy I love her very much

[@user-ld9ml1ts6n]

My story is short as well. My first pikemon game was bdsp and i wanted a machop for my team. I went into the grass where they span and i kill the first one i find. Then the next one i find is a full odds shiny. I couldn't believe my luck.

[@DeltaSmearise]

This is a fun short story/anecdote,

[@Y0sh1no5am]

My first shiny in Pokemon Violet was a shiny Makuhita at the mines where u fight the Orthworm. I was about to kill pack of makuhita and hariyama when I notice the shiny Makuhita I manage to stop my Gyarados in time and caught it no problem without hitting it. Coz I always scared I do crit or one hit a shiny. So I just used a powerful pokeball and that how I got it. Really nice pokemon too as Hariyama is indeed one of the strongest fighting types.

[@clementemoreira923]

So this is the story of my first shiny in pokemon Scarlet, i was hunting for like 6 hours and didn't get to find shiny pawniard i wanted, so kept going to progress on the main story. That's when i, after just 5 minutes, stumbled upon a shiny Combee. Sad ending anyways, because it was a male. 👎

Since you mentioned in a previous video really liking Vespiquen, I thought I should let you know that you can actually get Vespiquen outbreaks in Scarlet/Violet. No idea about the odds, but if you use a bug encounter sandwich near an area they naturally spawn, it should increase your odds
