The BEST Shiny Hunting Methods in Pokemon Legends Arceus V1.0 - V1.0.2

[@AustinJohnPlays]

[@mintyr9368]

@@jasonadams9602 Unfortunately the Pokemon that will appear at a mass outbreak are set when the mass outbreak spawns, so even if you soft reset from Jubilife you'll find the same Pokemon at the mass outbreak every time (checked on the 1.1 update, a shellos outbreak produced a level 42 female alpha every time I reset from Jubilife). It's such a shame.

Still hunting for one at the moment.. it’s taken me a little while lmao

[@o3941]

You could do this method perfectly for days and there is a chance, slim, but there is a chance that you'll also never find one. Ever. And then there will be others who will find them in ten minutes. I remember a method with friend zones in, I think, X/Y where I spent days hunting for a Larvesta. Others were reporting finding their prefered shiny in hours. I havn't tried this method yet but when I do get to the point I can, I'm setting aside a few hours to try it out myself.

[@PlagueOfGripes]

Good guide. I've personally had NO luck at all using this method, but I've at least determined it *is* generating new targets from the table on every trip, as I try to capture all of them on every trip. This is on perfect dex'ed Ralts but no shiny charm, rank 8. So far the only thing I've seen is a single alpha. On to hour three...

[@kiidrose1]

Stay consistent. It really does work and I don't have shiny charm either and it was still effective. It can be time consuming but you can definitely do it

As someone who has caught very few legit shinies in 20 years of playing Pokémon, the mass outbreak shiny method is the single greatest thing to happen in a Pokémon game (my opinion obviously). In one day I have caught shiny scyther, magmar, chancey, and chimchar

[@willnye9788]

I concur. Even LG was not that great where we had to catch 30+ of a specific Pokemon and wait hours. This mass outbreak is nice where it is random, limited, and the challenge of gettting out to the specific area. Kind of reminds me of the anime. I wonder if Nintendo will release an update where we can hunt exactly what we want when we want to instead of waiting for the outbreak.

[@PhoenixRipsPacks]

[@thelegacyofgaming2928]

Actually, Gen 2 if you have a shiny ditto as breeding material (which can be got through the trade red gyarados to gen 1 and have ditto transform method) you have 1 out of 50 chance for every egg hatched to be a shiny. It has never been that good since, but if you want any gen 1 or gen 2 pokemon to be shiny, that is your fastest method.

[@OverlordIcy]

With the Jet Balls, I found out when you throw them out, they start out above the dot in the center of the reticule. Since I found that out about the Jet Ball line, I started just aiming down more and they work flawlessly for me regardless of location/situation. They're weird compared to normal balls, but they always go high out of your hand and slowly arc downwards. Try aiming at the top of the circle of the reticule in line with the pokemon if you're relatively close and it should work well. Sometimes I have to line the pokemon up half-way in between the dot and the top circle to get the trajectory right, but you get used to it and learn it over time.

Before I fully watched a shiny hunting video, I was just under the impression that you could camp the same outbreak reloading the save. I chose gyarados as my first outbreak, saved on top of a small hill, went down into the water and fought one gyarados, beating it over and over so a new one would spawn, then resetting to try again when they stopped respawning. I had a shiny gyarados appear on the 7th time I reloaded. I have been told by many people on a discord server that what happened was not possible because outbreaks are locked when you enter the area. So I am very confused, cause I got my shiny gyarados without returning to Jubilife each reload.

If you beat a 4 v 1 all pokemon that spawn after will be new

I got my first shiny Eevee from a mass outbreak! Going to evolve it into Sylveon

[@alli9300]

I'm on the hunt for a shiny eevee too. Im looking for a female though so it's gonna be extra extra hard ;-;

[@supergamertor992]

@@alli9300 Why a female one.

[@NoHer0]

@@supergamertor992 Eh sometimes you want a mon in a specific gender nothing wrong with that

[@alli9300]

@@supergamertor992 Because one of my very first shinys was a female shiny vaporeon and i've made it a goal to try and get one every game.

[@CrimlyKoo]

Shiny Sylveon is peak aesthetic.

[@TyrbeTrost]

What a fantastic method. I was just about to go to bed when I saw Zorua outbreak. 2 hours later at 4 AM I finally got a shiny. But to top it all off I even got an alpha in the same batch. It wasn't a shiny alpha but still so happy. Thanks a lot Austin, you're an angel! Work's gonna suck for real tomorrow but totally worth it.

[@garnetcess4652]

I just want to thank Austin for creating massive, informative and great contents. Just subscribed as a way of thanks. Also, time stamps in your videos helped a lot.

[@kaydn7142]

When I return to the village my outbreak hasn’t happened again once

[@anneskretting7712]

I just tried this method and didnt read the comments first. Had a Mime Jr mass outbreak following your guide and after 3 resets the shiny appeared. So I saved the game before going in to catch it. But a freaking bird came in the way initiating battle and scaring the Mime Jr away. I closed my game, started back up and as I wake up in the grass where the Mime Jr’s was at it says «outbreak ended....». I totally paniced and tried closing my game and starting it back up again a thousand times, but the outbreak was over with. For future videos im reading the comments before going out hunting 😂 Lol. But thank you for great content, Austin! I didnt originally plan on buying this game, but your videos made me do it and IM CRAZY ABOUT IT! In my opinion the best pokémon game they ever made

[@JeremyAngels]

I’m sorry but after going 15 times back to town, Zorua outbreak did not remain. This is very time consuming.

[@soulreaper3196]

If KZbin had content creator awards for best gaming content, Austin John would win every year. The work he puts into the game, the way he takes the time to explain things, he’s just hands down the best.

[@ffej4202]

Hey finally got an outbreak tonight and i followed the method you spoke of and it worked! Took about 45 min but i got one. Thank you.

[@CjSparacino]

This guide was awesome and so helpful, I was able to get a shiny eevee in less then 10 minutes.

[@PansyPops]

Mass outbreaks is the easiest shiny hunting method in a long, long time. The only comparable method is pretty much Ultra Wormholes, and even that has lower odds and is very limited in comparison. Long story short- this is a great time to be a method hunter.

[@imcasualjimm]

The horde battles in X and Y were great, but back then (7 y/o me) didn't know what a shiny was, and never encountered one

[@PansyPops]

@@imcasualjimm hordes were pretty good, to be fair. Encountering 5 at once was a really fast method.

[@etherichunter3231]

Just wanted to say I watched your video all the way through, and the first outbreak I went to had a shiny staraptor. I probably never would have even bothered if not for watching this! So thank you for my first ever shiny encounter!

[@lanepear607]

Personally the first outbreak I saw was right when I got basculegion, and I was between 20-25 hours in, focusing equally on story and Pokémon. Now I’m about halfway through the Highlands and there’s usually 2 outbreaks constantly

[@rifasclub]

Sounds about right.

[@TGBMDior]

🔥🔥

[@thecodeson99]

Thank you for keeping it spoiler free my dude. Appreciate the advice as well!

[@AussieDodo]

I don’t understand the part where you’re able to reset and constantly keep getting the outbreak for zorua, i followed it step by step and I can’t seem to get it back to back, let alone the tens or so minutes I spend just trying to get the same outbreak again

[@calebmaartense3969]

I can finally join the club because I got my first outbreak shiny today! A shiny Ambipom secures its place as my first shiny in this game! (Besides the guaranteed shiny Ponyta)

[@dbomba]

And like that I just got spoiled about a guaranteed shiny Ponyta...

[@calebmaartense3969]

@@dbomba It’s one of the first side quests in the game? Maybe try playing the game

Hey Austin! A few days ago I commented I’m gonna use ur method to get shiny goomy. Well, I finally got it. Thanks for your help!

[@NobodyWasntHere30]

Im not sure if im doing to right since whenever i head to the village the outbreak always gone

[@Akatsuki0Dark0Vulpix]

Am I the idiot? I have tried this method for almost 45 mins and the outbreak is NEVER the same. No matter how much I try I get different outbreak. Am I the only one this happens to?? I have watched the video so many times. I have taken notes and jotted the information as he talked about it. What am I doing wrong??😭😭😭

[@joshuavergara5186]

Same here

[@jonawesome1191]

Did they patch this cause I have reset my game numerous times and I haven’t gotten the same outbreak

[@antonherand]

Why is this not working for me. I can't log in the outbreak and make it stay there! I have seen the video followed the steps over and over again. Where did i go wrong??

[@nahlotzul7851]

In one of the comments he mentions it only working for certain versions. You maybe not have the right Version anymore

[@themindmaster987]

6 hours in for Riolu. Charm appears and uses Gengar uses hypnosis, was asleep 5 turns in a row. I genuinly believe my game is broken.

[@HornetWithAGun]

Bro that was painful to watch him skip a shiny 😭

[@AustinJohnPlays]

There has been some more research done to optimize your hunt, this video at the 16min mark: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpLFmIqHit2ffMk it removes some things that aren't needed and makes it more streamlined.

[@alaynac1610]

Thanks

[@chelseasizemore4666]

Hey bud I haven't had space time event pop up in a whole day when u reset did u half to start over

[@JAHHHED]

but why?

[@celinasbasiic]

I was shiny hunting while watching this video and just as I saw this comment and thought "oh then I should do that okay" I heard the shiny sound lol😭

[@dsmurf5377]

Ive heard this works with just simply checking the pokemon of the outbreak for a shiny and then soft reseting ? Not sure if thats true

[@comabIack]

by far the best pokémon youtuber i’ve come across

[@LegendGamiing7]

By far my fav PokeYT channel. Keep up the good work!!! Saw your frustration cause you know it works but too litte bit longer!! I tried similar method before watching any videos and didnt think it would work! Now I know so will continue with shiny hunt
