I Spent 48 Hours looking for SHINY Pokemon

[@SmkGaming05]

QOTD: What Pokemon Game do you Like playing on your Nintendo 3ds??? BUY SMK Merch Today! store.streamelements.com/smkgaming05

[@nintygc]

Omega Ruby and Y! Besides the ds games, of course ^ ^

[@codyjones843]

ORAS and XY for sure

[@fridaypurples2441]

Pokémon Alpha Sapphire of course It's the only one I play nowadays lol

[@gmk9321]

I mean its tought but I am gonna go with PMD Gates To Infinity

[@acetrainerace6560]

wow you have so much dedication i love the 3ds era games they have such a unique charm of "we are still figuring this ou"

[@DevastationTowardCompletion]

There’s just something about the 3DS sprites that hit harder when they show up. It’s way more in your face which I love.

[@tangerineturtles9551]

I love that you still hunt 6th gen, it’s what I grew up on

[@mliper9346]

37:49 The reason it had 3 perfect ivs is due to Pokemon in the Undiscovered Egg group having guaranteed 3 perfect ivs from Gen 6 onward, which I'm guessing was primarily made for legendaries due to their once per file nature, but baby pokemon and Nidorina and Nidoqueen get grouped into it due to also being in said egg group.

[@CybernetCatgirl]

This actually only applies in X & Y, which makes it even more unique to those games! In ORAS they fixed it so it only applies to Legendaries and Mythicals (and as of Sun & Moon, Ultra Beasts).

[@fridaypurples2441]

I remember when I was Shiny Hunting my own Munna, I found a Shiny Ditto that was Jolly Nature with its Hidden Ability Imposter. I still got the Shiny Munna later but I literally got both Shinies of the Pokémon found on that Mirage Island. Definitely one of my best Shiny Hunting moments lol

[@dr.toxicgamingmadscientist]

when Smk found the Shiny Wailmer in literally 5 encounters, I can vibe with that as I have actually had a few encounters go for less than TEN encounters.

[@peachbubble8652]

I feel like the 3DS era of shiny hunting is underrated

[@fanofpink]

48 hours of shiny pokemon from Steve yes please.

[@TheShinyScouter]

Dude...how do you stay so calm when you find shinies, genuinely??? Also, love the content! I'm overjoyed to know I always have a creator to come back to if I wanna see content from the 3DS games

[@SmkGaming05]

It just depends on the day sometimes I’m super excited other days I’m look that’s cool lol

[@TheShinyScouter]

@@SmkGaming05 Honestly fair enough lmao

[@93jcesar]

Did we all collectively decide to hunt in gen 6 and 7 😂 ive seen so much content of people going back to these games rn. I’m currently masuda hatching in X for a froakie 😂

[@SmkGaming05]

Nah I’ve been playing 3ds games all year 😅

[@clau6ia]

I really like playing pokemon x and alpha sapphire . I love playing pokemon games for 3ds

[@Cdsdead]

man i always look forward to your uploads i like watching them while i play pokemon or shiny hunt

[@Sc0rned]

I remember being in most of these streams while you found these shines. Your reaction to the elgyem was the funniest out of them all though. 😀

[@tdarkhorse4]

i feel like we probably will get to shiny hunt legendaries in scvi. reason being: we don't have any of what we got from gen 8 available as huntable yet other than the new regis, including enamorous. the other thing is we already haven't been able to hunt anything post gen 4 since crown tundra came out, and besides if they let us hunt the mythicals other than manaphy in sinnoh as like the one redeeming quality of bdsp, i feel like they could easily let us hunt legendaries in scvi. also for your consideration: none of the swords of justice nor the regis got the easy hunting method in swsh, and the only place that type null/silvally can be hunted legally is on a handheld they're slowly shutting down. i think at bare minimum since the gen 8 legendaries are all in already, we're gonna get to hunt them and there's a solid chance we get something with the swords of justice and the beasts/dogs since we already have walking wake and iron leaves, which when combined with what we know from the scarlet/violet books implies we're getting paradox forms for the others in their trios meaning we're forced to get regular versions since no other paradoxes exist without a present day form appearing somewhere in paldea.

[@CP9Des]

i love shiny compilations. Im doing a living dex in platinum right now and i pray i get one or two along my journey. Definitely SR for Darkrai and Arceus

[@CP9Des]

Also the awareness about the absol potentially having life orb was really cool bc i know i would have false swiped LOL

[@teenieweeniebeanie2154]

Its been so long since i was on a live stream, but that Elgyem reaction already had me laughing

[@PoisonGhoul1763]

[@tylermercado1445]

Lots of shinies. Hope the Charmander shines soon.

[@SmkGaming05]

trust me I've been putting in the work! I'm sure it will show up soon :)

[@5TLKED]

Still hasnt:")

[@justcallmeSheriff]

Looks like you need a pokemon that can steal/ swap items from shinies! I wouldn't have known about Absol carrying Life Orbs.

[@SmkGaming05]

It’s a rare thing you can find from absol because of high Dexnav search level 👍

[@Shadowmanisreallycool]

nice. god shiny metagross is so pretty

[@certifiedstoner3638]

nice finds ! im a big fan of the older games lolz , especially trying to learn to make a randomizer .. any help would be great (:

[@matthelm3922]

My first shiny in UM was a bruxish. I needed a razor fang to evolve gligar and the only way to obtain one reasonably was to chain them and use thief. Also had a compound eyes butterfree to help the odds of the razor fang. After a half hour with zero fangs a shiny was called. Caught the shiny that night and the next day i finally got the fang to evolve gligar. Its not a bad shiny, but not my favorite mon, i really want a krookodile but its a nightmare to hunt so idk maybe ill try the egg method

[@SupermanMFL]

Shiny metagross is awesome ❤😊

[@Beeks1337]

im excited

[@eddiespaghetti7878]

What’s the method being used in the sun/moon game? Is he just random encountering ?

[@SmkGaming05]

Yup just random encounters with shiny charm ✨

[@Jadeshinyhunter22]

Hi was wondering if you could tell me, I have a dry internal battery on ruby, can I still Sr for shiny groudon? Online giving me mixed responses. I've checked his stats and nature now and then and they keep changing? So that's a good thing right? Love your vids. First time I watched one I got a shiny poochyena through dex nav!

[@SmkGaming05]

For soft resets you want a working battery 👍

[@Jadeshinyhunter22]

@SmkGaming05 but if the stats and nature are changing, surely everything cant be pre determined? Idk I've read so many different things.

[@SmkGaming05]

@@Jadeshinyhunter22 that will still happen but the battery is what helps make a shiny show up. I make sure I have working batteries before I play Ruby and sapphire.

[@Jadeshinyhunter22]

@SmkGaming05 I didnt know when I bought it, it was dry. I might take it back and ask for a new one. Is it impossible or just lengthy? Thank you for taking the time to reply 😀

[@SmkGaming05]

@@Jadeshinyhunter22 nah it’s not impossible. There are videos on KZbin that explain how to replace batteries. Some retro game store replace batteries for older games. You just have to do research and see what’s around your area. Replacing the battery cost money and soldering skills so it’s not the easiest thing to do 😅 hence why it’s better to find some place that does that for you 👍

[@crobatgaming5661]

I lovee 3ds pokemoon thankk youuu

[@codyjones843]

Steve, do you know if friend safari is affected by the shiny charm?

[@DevastationTowardCompletion]

I may not be Steve but from what I see it looks like it’s a flat 1/512 chance of a shiny, with or without the charm.

[@codyjones843]
