The GOAT

[@jeanmarcvgc]

A fun fact about synchro herding: wild species all seem to have a fear value, and each species that you use have a different intimidation value. If the species' intimidation value is higher than the fear value, they'll run away in the opposite direction on sight. If you don't, they'll move randomly. The intimidation value doesn't seem to be linked to anything in particular, but the intimidation and fear values are different, since Pokemon that aren't scared too easily, like Scyther, don't necessarily scare away Pokemon that are easier to scare. I won't pretend I researched it very extensively, but that's what a few hours of research gave me as a conclusion.

[@mouthwaterin]

Interesting! Itd be nice to do some more research about this

[@JerBearLF]

Would be nice if it explicitly says polemon with intimidate scare them away

[@AloneTheorist]

Maybe the ability rivalry could actually prove useful for something?

[@shiratojin]

Someone should figure it out and make a chart of it or something, like just to find out what the best PKMN is for herding in terms of Intimidation. Maybe one could pick the fastest out of the more intimidating ones?

[@jeanmarcvgc]

@@JerBearLF I tried researching if abilities made a difference, it looks like they don't. 0 correlation between being able to scare Pokemon and: -Level -Height -Weight -Type advantage -Base Stats -Movement Speed -Ability -Moves It seems strictly based on species.

[@T.H1062]

1) Definitely name her Synchro 2) You have basically become a Pokémon Professor

[@ViktorErikFade]

Was looking for a similar comment to this, I second this Tha and synchro sounds like a cute name

[@notRadis]

The Scraggy literary is an reference to my fail. I had latias but failed an scraggy :(

This Latias is a very powerful sheepdog

[@Spookworm]

I mean, I see no difference. A sheep dog might be a little fluffier, but I don't see why a short hair herding dog wouldn't exist. That right there is just a really fast herding dog, if I've ever seen one

[@pokefoxgd]

lol yes

[@THESTEAMEDCAKE]

Sheep jet?

[@Dznts1234]

​@@THESTEAMEDCAKEa jeep, if you will

[@jacobrocket1734]

for the second elekid it was at its roaming radius, that's why it didn't go closer to you. essentially, pokemon can only go a certain distance from the point they spawned from and when they walk its usually a set distance and the end point can only exist within the roaming radius. that's why the elekid kept walking back and forth. the roaming radius is bigger than the spawn radius. some pokemon are an exception usually ones that are on a set path like certain carkoal and rolycoly in the area of the orthworm titan or the rolling donphan near the top of the mountain next to alfornata.

[@Coyoteari]

Dang Catherine is accidentally turning into a shiny professor

[@dpanimating]

Gen 10 pokemon professor is here!! Hello i am Catherine and I study on pokemons movement.If you complete the pokedex i will give you a shiny charm with boosted luck.

Shut up and take my Like

[@c0mpu73rguy]

11:40 And this is why I fell in love with this pokemon during gen 7. I didn't care about it before but meeting one during a very low point in my life cheered me up. I love his laid back and yet goofy attitude.

[@Vulkinfan]

Shiny Catherine failing shinies? This isn’t a shiny Catherine video, it’s a Purplecliff video!

[@ramonvandenheuvel623]

so true🤣

thank you for teaching us the most effective way to suffer shiny fail depression

[@jennybutler8181]

great to see latias is getting more friends by herding them like sheep

[@creeperEXplode42069]

1:04 SHINY TYROUGE IN THE BACKGROUND YOOOOOOO

[@BubblyStick3]

Lol

[@NoahHacksaw]

I'm shocked more people aren't noticing in the comments

[@sethwilkins132]

Maybe that's one that she caught? Probably not though but let's hope so

[@Sailor-Khione]

I'm waiting for her to say something. Her silence either means she saw this and didn't want to comment on it or, she hasn't seen this one yet

[@ruehall5489]

Neither of the tyrouges there are shiny the one thats further back looks like you could mistake it for a shiny but when it moves you can see the brown on its legs

[@c0mpu73rguy]

The position of the player character during synchro mode gives me anxiety. I always feel like he's gonna blow up a vein in his head by concentrating too much. Also, I vote to name this Latias Synchro. 20:51 Great, now I have something else to be anxious about while in synchro mode. Thanks Catherine ^^

[@dpanimating]

Gen 10 new professor :- Hello my name is Catherine and I study on pokemons movement! If you complete the regional dex i will give you a shiny charm with boosted chances.

2:32 mettaton cooking music suits chef katheryne so much, i always wanted to say this

[@pabs356]

This video just made me even more terrified of using synchro mode

[@insertclevernamehere1186]

I still haven't even used Syncho Mode yet due to paranoia...

[@Sailor-Khione]

I only use it when I'm doing an outbreak and I have my pokemon very close by

[@Pokemaniak180]

Why does Latias having hands look kinda natural

[@TwiliPaladin]

The artist was right.

[@ninjabarbee3979]

Since it gave you so much grief, I recommend naming the Elekid “Pain”

[@justadude450]

The human hand Latias. Not as bad as I expected.

[@SeaCaptainFinn]

Ohh the heartbreak on that Farigiraf..... Good on you for taking a bit of a break after that one haha, hope you got the jumbo one pretty quick! I'm so glad you got the Trapinch atleast!! I failed one recently, still working on a reclaim

[@NightwaveTheDragon]

7:24 “ it looks like a shiny, kind of”

[@Carlitos_66]

This reminded me that I failed a shiny Tyrogue during the Synchro Machine tutorial, I was so sad

[@Masterball22]

Audience: How many shinies do you need to fail in this video? Catherine: Yes.

[@grantuchiha534]

I named my latias SR-71.

[@JessicaBarton-h5h]

I got a shiny tyrouge just yesterday!!!!!!!

[@ShinyCatherine]

Congrats!!

[@Dove-kq5uo]

That happened to my backpack before

[@Buward_maybe]

Can you name the Trapinch "Peripinchle"

[@neo_b]

maybe try Regigigas as your herder? i’ve seen a clip of pokemons panicking running away

[@scarlettefoxx5585]

Cool!

[@ProjectNetoku]

if its any consulation- the fact you can faint shinies in only this mode isnt your fault, gamefreak just really REALLY sucks at qol.

[@killadile]

I just thought of a Crazy Challenge with this Co-Op Synchro Herding where all four players stand in a different location to see who Spawned a shiny.

[@KevinTheFluffyWolfy]

Doesn’t it teleport you to where you Pokémon was when you end the syncing?

[@ShinyCatherine]

Sadly no :’)

[@pokefoxgd]

You can name the Trapinch “Blue” I think it fits well

[@canigetuuh]

thanks to you i learned to love this franchise even more, despite the low performance in the latest games, so thank you for keeping me from drifting away from my childhood

[@superrelic64]

You get a subscribe for helping me get in the mood for shiny hunting again. My best record is almost 20 different shinies in 24 hours with no sandwiches. Luckiest I've ever been in any pokemon game

[@LaxxyW]

1:03 is it just me or is that tyrouge shiny? I mean it looks different from the one right next to it

[@user-E129G]

Name the Latias banana

[@EM-qe2fs]

Day one of asking to play with you

[@MiddleVeen]

Do you have anaphantasia too? Not being able to picture things in your mind?

[@ShinyCatherine]

I believe so! I didn’t know that people could actually see things when they say to visualize something- I just thought it was metaphorical and that we’re just thinking about a thing

[@cas4023]

I think a fun name for your shiny latias is cheesecake

[@KingChiggy]

I am going to go full nerd and suggest Stardust for Latias's name because Stardust Dragon is like the poster child of the Synchro Mechanic in Yugioh lol

[@KavionJohnson]

Hey you do poll to decide the name of Latias😅

[@hazzard_destroyer]

The shiny Krokorok should be named Kronk lol

[@hazzard_destroyer]

I once was able to use a Vilavolt to scare a shiny Hisuian Quilfish towards my character

[@hazzard_destroyer]

Catherine just torturing herself to figure out the real Pokémon science lol ❤️

[@SkarmoryJr-ov5zy]

15:40 that breviary and farigaraf really said “ you shall not pass !”

[@SkarmoryJr-ov5zy]

Elekid is just a lil baby it probably thinks your latias is playing tag with it. It doesn’t even know what you are telling it because you are way too far away.

[@jackietaillon608]

You should name your Latias Bagel 🥯

[@jevanturke4356]

There was a shiny blitzle

[@HectorGama94]

lul

[@loganleblanc5147]

Hi

[@AloneTheorist]

Mistakes were made, but learning is part of the challenge, you'll get other chances, after all you have a shiny charm.😊

[@mostlyghostey]

I am so jealous that there was a Mike expo in Vancouver and that you got to go to it!

[@SpiritFlame122]

Remember when you first tried synchro mode and said “I will prove to you that synchro mode is a viable shiny hunting method.” You’re not doing a good job, I hereby name this method “Copium”

[@ninjibro5469]

So I have a theory based on why some Pokemon move quickly and those that don't. It could be related to natures, like calm nature being not scared at all, and timid being scared the most. I haven't tried this out, but I feel like that's why it happens so randomly

[@Sylvainpack]

It is possible that type match up and Size do matter while trying this method, who knows? I've been tinkering with it myself to figure out why but I also learned something interesting, your character shouldn't be too far from an out break as if you're too far away then the odds of failing the shiny are high. Also I think you should name your Latias Dawn!

[@Xirk-__-]

Elekid’s name should be named Pace. For the reason that the other one kept pacing back and forth.

[@Spiked-Spartan0719]

I like that her character wears glasses similar to the ones i actually wear but my character just wears sunglasses

[@SNG4622]

The lesson we learned: Be like Farigiraf, conquer your fears.

[@pinkiepie5911]

Name Latias Pizza. :)

[@Spiked-Spartan0719]

If you hatch eggs you increase your odds it worked for me

[@silvernado8644]

Name the Trapinch “Bile”.

[@Jens-dw8ph]

The trapinch should be named antlion because it is based on the antlion larvae

[@nathandurand-terrasson7040]

maybe stam can produce the bamboo.

[@x.theCitrusDragon.x]

Pretty sure Pokémon have a “spawn radius”, where they’ll path back to where they spawned if they exited it, so I recommend keeping your character close by! Hope this helps!
