Yesterday day while my dad was sleeping I was running around to hatch riuoul eggs a I encountered a shiny Pearsin/the evolution of meowth,I woke my dad up😊

“Oh my god!” “That is a good shiny!” “It is such a good shiny!

[@Yourdad-YT3850]

0:35 oricorio is such a good shiny

[@esmin2400]

Watching this video, I just accidentally ran into what I THOUGHT was a Persian and it turned out to be a shiny ditto with no sandwich boost, only shiny charm, completely randomly. THANKS FOR THE LUCK RYAN

[@BeanKally]

Combee was my first shiny in the game. In one of the earlier towns, there’s a little swarm of them that fly by, and in the back one of them was shiny I have a bad habit of freezing in shock when I find a shiny, but this time I remained frozen for so long that it was SECONDS from despawning. No time to save, gotta get it NOW I got him, his name is Honey and I love him very much. For some not necessary background info, I was actually on a call with my best friend when it happened And I also say “oh my god” whenever I get a shiny- It’s usually “Oh my god that’s a shiny ___” only a little louder than my normal voice. I do freak out a lot more when I go over odds or something

[@ranting2daMAX]

make sure to give Honey a nice wash in the Picnic for us : D

[@OGPeachPit]

If I had a shiny for every time he said “oh my god” I’d be bored of SV. 😂 CONGRATS ON ALL THE SHINES!

[@wowjennawow]

love when we get to hear how long some of these hunts took, it’s some good motivation since videos make shiny hunting look way less tedious than it can be!

[@gabbywills98]

Love your work Ryan, you got this! Keep going friendo 🧡

[@saturn2896]

Oh lord, that Flabébé closeup scared the heck out of me- If it was a shiny in the area 6 of the South province instead... yeah I'm doing an area lock challenge without outbreaks nor shiny sandwich.

[@streats1]

I just love how I’ve seen moet of this live! You are without a doubt my favorite streamer the vibes are always good!

[@phoenixashlynn]

I've been watching these as I shiny hunt and I intend to rewatch this series when I do my shiny only run 😂🥰 I love how human your reactions are and how chill you seem. New sub from me!!

[@mangomash8788]

Blud plugged his twitch like we were gonna check him out☠️

Im honestly impressed more by the fact that you can play this much scarlet and violet

i love the amount of times he says "let's go" lmao

[@chosenrandomly3230]

thank you ryan for getting me back into the shiny huntin game

[@zenolol9872]

Watching this video has made me realize I probably have walked passed a family of shinies cause lord they don't look that different at times

[@naonicx1492]

Just before coming to this vid I was hatching froakie’s for a shiny and I was paying attention when it hatched so I didn’t hear the shiny noise but I looked back at the screen and I was like “that looks different for some reason” I was about to dismiss it but I was like maybe it is so I check and now I have a cool black frog named Genji

[@PrinceBumbleBee]

OH MY GUD!!

[@michaelkiyuklook6797]

I’m so amazed at how fast and good he sees and captures the shinys!

[@troyrichardsonii3435]

So, story time. I decided to hunt for Shiny Paradox Pokémon in Violet, but I kept messing up the Electric sandwich. I forgot that you need Salty+Spicy, not two Salty. However, during those mess-ups, I found a Shiny Venomoth. But, my dumbass decided to reset without saving because I didn’t have many Herba Mystica. After I made a proper Electric sandwich, I managed to get both Shiny Iron Thorns AND Shiny Iron Hands within an hour on my second attempt of the sandwich. Following that success, I decided to see if I could make up for the failed Shiny by finding Shiny Iron Valiant. The results of my Fairy sandwich? I found it within the first half of the sandwich, then flew to Alfronada and proceeded to find both a Shiny Daschbun AND a Shiny Klefki. So yeah, all in all , I think I made up for the failed Shiny Venomoth, but I’m thinking about reclaiming it at some point.

[@volch2991]

I tried shiny hunting combee and the first shiny to show up was female, that was a much shorter hunt than I thought it would be

[@RokkTheRock]

shiny pokemon dont disspear from being scared/weather! shiny sandyghast doesnt melt, shiny hopip doesnt blow off, shiny sudowoodoo doesnt sprint etc etc etc

[@boltzydog527]

My first shiny was yungoos and I was SO disappointed when I evolved it and it wasnt purple anymore

This mans laugh just sounds so off I cannot get past it

[@RyanWasTakenToo]

With this comment making me so sad, I shall laugh no more D:

[@SuperBrand1234]

Hey, I got over 21 shiny pokemons and I kept on hunting for shinies during outbreaks and I may get some luck in finding from 1-3 shiny pokemon and I was lucky to catch two shiny drakloaks today.

[@RokkTheRock]

haha dont be too harsh on urself for the girafarig, the shiny hardly changes so its easy to miss.

[@ImNotYeti]

Ryan did you use other sandwiches to boost the specific types of Pokémon you were looking for, like an example would be a level 2 dragon type encounter power sandwich

[@RyanWasTakenToo]

Yep, used encounter power, just no sparkle!

[@MyWorkisDrawing]

That glaceon was shiny also I would really like to see a shiny alphabet challenge

[@ShinyBeetle]

May I ask where you caught that flabebe? I need to hunt it and it seemed like you had a bunch spawning

[@RyanWasTakenToo]

There's a little flower patch kinda near where the Sky Titan spawns after you beat it! You can also hunt Petilil there too!

[@ShinyBeetle]

@@RyanWasTakenToo that’s awesome, I need both of those, I’m planning to catch all 5 flabebe so that’s incredibly helpful

[@ShinyBeetle]

@@RyanWasTakenToo thank you, just got home and made a sandwich and already found the yellow flower flabebe

[@ShinyBeetle]

2 weeks ago you showed me this new spot and as of now, I’m missing one Flabebe, the white flower, then I’ve completed the whole line of each flower so big thanks for that, but now the toughest flower remains

[@kashbowser1891]

You literally give me shiny luck. I got a shiny delibird and golduck back to back

[@Miksmiko]

if you want to trade the delibird, I got a ton of duplicates to trade for it?

[@kashbowser1891]

@@Miksmiko the only shiny Pokémon I will trade are a shiny Tauros and venomoth since I have duplicates

Hey! Where did you hunt for your shiny slakoth? I can't seem to find them on the ground

Got it in an outbreak near the swamp in the bottom right of the map!

Hey Ryan, what are you going to do about the scarlet exclusive s?

I MAY have bought a copy of scarlet!!

So Fun fact with Grafaiai... I wasn't hunting for it but I had A Shiny Grafaiai Run into me, Never had A Chance to save XD

Just picked up Violet for my birthday 🎉👍

[@JKM37EDIT]

Every shiny he finds he says oh my god

[@TheMcTaco]

Thank you I was about to dissolve to boredom

[@RokkTheRock]

have you found a shiny Fomantis? im trying to hunt one but i cant seem to find an actual place where they spawn consistently and in the majority... ive tried resetting for an outbreak for a few hours as well and nothing ):

[@RyanWasTakenToo]

Yeah, it's in another video, no idea where tho sorry! I just got lucky so unfortunately I don't have any advice for you!

[@jeremyintime7212]

How many sandwiches on average does it take to get a shiny with shiny charm for you?

[@RyanWasTakenToo]

Because I don't use sparkle power sandwiches it's a bit different, but anywhere from 1 to 4 on average I'd say!

[@jeremyintime7212]

@@RyanWasTakenToo Good to know! The most annoying part for me is grinding Herba Mystica so if it doesn't take too much longer just with shiny charm + encounter level 2 then I'm fine. Thanks for the answer! Love the content😁

[@ZoeyAnimatesStufff]

If i had a nickel for everytime he has said "Oh my god!" Id have 7 full cosplay costumes

[@Jappa3]

5:12 bro i wish i could be as calm as this dude

[@WiseOldBen]

Question for everyone- if you don’t use shining power sandwiches are you just picking a random type and making a sandwich or are you just running around aimlessly hoping something shines?

[@RyanWasTakenToo]

I use a type encounter power to try and avoid duplicates!

[@WiseOldBen]

@@RyanWasTakenToo I guess I needed to be more specific. That’s my fault. Did you pick a Pokémon as a target to shiny hunt and go to that area or did you go to an area, pick a type out of what spawned there and make the sandwich? Or did you do neither and just roam around each area to see what happened?

[@user-py2fb8je5b]

I was hatching some Dunsparce eggs and of my second egg, my SECOND egg. I got a Shiny Dunsparce.

[@karensusee5010]

Honestly the shiny charm is the best the amount of time you spend farming herba mythica you could of snagged multiple shinys. Three days I caught over 50 shinys

How many shinies can you actually get in this game without hacking out of the 400 also when do you stream
