The Most Consistent Shiny Hunting Method - Pokémon Ultra Sun & Moon

[@EternalRadiant]

If you use this method, please bring a leppa berry + harvest mon. Don’t be lazy like me LOL

[@gareyysenpaaiii]

I want this method back so bad

[@tonynaranjo4612]

You called it shiny radicate at 16 minutes😊

[@pokeman853]

Also if you give the Pokémon a status condition, it won’t call for help

[@KrazyPugz]

do you have a discord? this is the first video of yours i watched, i watched a few other a few hours ago while shiny hunting and this seems like a great shiny hunting and youtube community

[@EternalRadiant]

@@tonynaranjo4612ooga booga 3am tings xD

[@Roxakur]

The Caterpie situation is why I always bring a thunder wave mon. Can’t call for help if you’re paralyzed, so no risk for having to kill a second shiny! 😂 Excellent video as always, would love to see you do more SOS hunts in the future!

[@EternalRadiant]

Haha the moment I remove my thunder wave zapdos from the party, this happens 😭 it was super unexpected though, still super cool to experience it despite the dead shiny 😂

[@YYangles]

That double shiny caterpie was CRAZY, glad to see 3ds era of pokemon getting some more love, great video

[@EternalRadiant]

Still insane 😭 I wish you were able to catch a Pokémon with 2 of them out in battle

[@LeCaleb]

Ds pokemon games are still the best games

[@hasaki5247]

Synchronize only works in sos when the pokemon is present in battle, for static encounters it works as long as being first in party.

[@EternalRadiant]

Lmaoo makes sense, my tiny brain was slowly figuring that out as time passed 😭😭

[@soyalexpop]

@@EternalRadiantSame happened to me when I was going after Salazzle with a cute charm Pokémon lol

[@Spartan3457]

The first Caterpie was like "nah, trust me, you wanna catch my homie instead."

[@TheLostCosmo]

SOS is one of my favorite shiny hunting methods I have caught myself returning to it a few times every once in awhile to switch things up a little

[@EternalRadiant]

It’s definitely been super refreshing! I can see myself going back to this in the future if I get burnt out of the usual sparkling sandwich

[@ephramnelson5567]

​​@@EternalRadiant I'm mad at the method because it took 817 encounters until I got the shiny bagon

[@vizzzyy190]

honestly same. it added an element of excitement, especially with the special encounters like kangaskhan, mareanie, or salamance

[@keo549]

SOS is by far my favorite method for hunting. Just enough attention required to not fall asleep playing, but also can be done while watching TV or on the go

[@battlelegendsean]

I loved SOS hunting. I remember seeing the tourist trainer in the Poni Island Poke Center with a Shiny Exeggcute and wanted one too and that’s how I got my first shiny. After that I hunted for a shiny Wishiwashi and later a Shiny Eevee. Man this takes me back.

[@EternalRadiant]

Hehe might have to go back and do an SOS hunt for old time’s sake :)

[@Helmshot]

16:01 wow a regular shiny Raticate, what a rare find :D

[@moody_moosh]

Love how you named the Rattata Sampo as I'm standing in the spot where you first meet him in game. Man you have such good taste in media, I swear

[@EternalRadiant]

Haha 😂 thank you! it was just lucky timing as I just finished interacting with him 30 mins prior to getting the shiny lol

[@GrammarlyXD]

That Sampo troll in the PainCony TB quest was crazy @@EternalRadiant

[@guineapigshinyhunter7877]

Love this method and I LOVE the ultra Necrosma battle music in the background

[@anonymouseevee5307]

12:41 the hsr quest got me crying over fictional characters bc the music is so good

[@paranoivern]

watching this while full odds hunting for cubone is painful TwT gratz on all the sos shinies ! love how you compare your results to the actual odds . this method seems so fun . ☆

[@KozakuraRabbit]

So many great shinies in this video! Also I love the name Silk Sonic, great reference.

[@EternalRadiant]

Thank you! Big fan of Bruno 🙏

[@rafaelflores6470]

I love SOS method. I remember the same thing happened to me when a second shiny beldum appeared because I couldn't catch the first one on time. Cool video and congrats for all of the shinies!

[@EternalRadiant]

Thank you!!

[@allisonrochester8418]

I didn't know what shinies were until I was a teenager. When sun and moon came out, I was only on the second route during my first playthrough, and got a full odds shiny alolan rattata. That was the beginning of my shiny addiction ✨️ 😊 I'm almost 26 now, and still love pokemon ❤

[@gigifabulous]

I looked into the Synchronize situation with SOS battles, and it only works if you have the Synchronize Pokemon on the field. One thing tho, is if you have a fainted Pokemon in the first slot, and then have your Synchronize Pokemon out, it synchronizes the fainted Pokemon's Nature.

[@EternalRadiant]

That makes sense, I haven’t tested it with the dead synch lead yet 🤔

[@willmark7032]

That's actually pretty cool if you don't have a synchro mon w/ the right nature yet, just faint another mon and put the synchro out

[@pixlnovaofficial]

My favorite memory of SOS chaining was my shiny level 11 Salamence I got while hunting bacon on Route 4

[@godscalledwayne]

great video! SOS is my favorite hunting method, so it was great to see you enjoying this method so much (more or less haha) as well.

[@EternalRadiant]

HAHA it was a super fun method. The little gimmicks like sand attack made it a lil tedious, but overall one of my favorite ways to get shinies now

[@godscalledwayne]

@@EternalRadiant Agreed! But there is no SOS hunt where there isn't a workaround for the more annoying pokemon. All in all, a very fair method.

[@ShadowVoid06]

Let’s go another Eternal vid

[@EternalRadiant]

🙏✨

[@J20-o3c]

dude I love your videos I watch almost all of them keep doing them

[@noivern_gaming5196]

When the chat In the vid said name clampearl minetta I almost died of laughter

[@Talia_Foxx]

When I did SOS chaining during the Gen 7 run, I got my shiny Corsola in 12 encounters. Seeing that you gut yours in 28 makes me want to believe Corsola is just really nice and tries not to prolong the hunt.

[@ToTK_Nerd]

16:02 “We have a regular shiny raticate” Proceeds to show a normal Alolan radicate

[@Gyaramax]

8:33 it’s bdsp that’s the only switch game the clampearl line is in

[@NilsEggers-gx2iq]

I highly recommend bringing a Smeargle with False Swipe, Recycle, a status move and a damaging move as well as a held Leppa Berry. Really helps with the PP management during the hunt. Harvest also works, but Smeargle just has the best movepool for this

[@EvanWright-d5t]

It’s honestly crazy how lucky you got during this video, I hunted for a shiny alolan rattata myself did over 900 checks before I got it.

[@EternalRadiant]

Yeahhh, the first couple hunts made me think I’d be getting them all under 100 LMAOO and then caterpie happened. Congrats on your shiny rat!

[@EndlessNight025]

I had the perfect setup when I was SOS chaining last year. I had the standard Harvest Trevenant with Skill Swap and Trick, and to save on using items that restored PP and health, the KOing Pokémon would be ones that can learn Role Play and a draining attack. When giving them a Leppa Berry to hold as well, they would basically have infinite PP after they copied Harvest. My favorites to use were Marshadow, Gengar, Palossand, and a Trace Gardevoir.

[@Wizard883LOL]

Pokemon's SOS shiny hunting is so nostalgic for me

[@gta71000]

I remember when i sos chained a mimikyu, unfortunately muscle memory kicked in and i was partially asleep and didn't hear the shiny notification so i accidentally killed it.

[@overconfidentgd]

The second caterpie actually hurt lol

[@garrettpalesano8646]

Glad you are getting quick ones! I’m 250+ encounters for Mawile

[@Smithy31]

Don’t know if you’ll see this but to avoid a double shiny situation once you status a mon it can no longer call for SOS. Hope this helps!

[@Flizz0]

I also got a shiny Shroomish on my 17th egg which was my first time I properly sat down and hatched eggs, so I’d say it’s a good omen for future shiny hunts

[@blueberrypitbull87]

Fun fact. In Japan the Ultra Ball is called the Hyper Ball and the Beast Ball is called an Ultra Ball. Obviously for Ultra Beast.

[@SamSamSamSamSamSami]

Great video man!! (Also quick question!! When you were hunting for meowth was that the Fire emblem Three houses main theme playing?)

[@EternalRadiant]

Yup, it was!

[@SamSamSamSamSamSami]

yeah i love that song but i did not hear it good so i did not knew it for sure and again THIS WAS A FIRE VIDEO MAN!!

[@brianuuuSonicReborn]

you probably know by now but the sync didn't work because you don't have the Kadabra out when it spawn

[@Cantgetrowlet]

Am i the only one who thought he was going to do wormholes

[@EM-qe2fs]

No u r not

[@LexClone5]

idk if you'll see this, but the Synchronize Mechanic works weirdly with SOS Chaining. I know this because I'm currently doing something similar with Salandit SOS, using Cute Charm to get more female chance. You have to have your Synchronize Mon at the LEAD, and then ALSO have it active when it calls a Pokemon for it to work. You can't just switch it out into your new Mon, you gotta have it at the lead and then have it active. You can still switch out and then switch back for it to work as intended.

[@pixxieestixx]

this thumbnail is so goofy LOL idk how i managed to give a caterpie a POSE

[@EternalRadiant]

LMAOOO I love it, caterpie is slaying here ✨

Hi

[@eiscue2601]

I restarted doing sos around September 2023 .... and i was likenwhy in hell didnt i used this method since its out !!! So much fun ! Its engaging but still can do something else at the same time !

[@EternalRadiant]

I agree, it’s both a mix of engaging and afk-ish

[@hpduong8507]

The synchronize only work if u keep the synchronizer stay and fight (and its just 50%)

[@ElywinCarrinithshinyhunting]

You know what you gotta do now: Reclaim that first shiny Caterpie. We ain't having no bye-bye butterfree bs here

[@JohnboyTheGamer]

For Furfrou you can have you Intimate or like wise Pokemon out with a substitute.

anyone know the song from 5:30 ???

Sos hunting in usum is so good i hunted for 3 shinies in my lastest playthrough

[@dragula2950]

I remember I got like 3 shines back to back to back with this method

[@NobilityNova]

i noticed you have a xerneas in your party you can shiny hunt it in the wormholes in ultra sun

[@Nightmare_purple]

I read the title and I was like "fucking finally!, someone agrees with me"

[@dr_swain]

I have the feeling that SOS hunting is way worse in usum than in regular sun and moon. It took me way more encounters in usum than in sm

[@LookiePookDaBoi]

I forgot about this strat. I actually got a shiny latias in workholes it was insane it’s in my scarlet file rn

[@EternalRadiant]

Congrats on your latias!

[@Acornyo]

This video shows yet ANOTHER reason I begged my mom for a 3DS and Pokémon Sun. Never got either.

[@EternalRadiant]

Let’s hope these games get ported to the switch so you can get the chance to play them!

[@MagiCarson08]

You can use another adrenaline orb to waste turns and it won’t consume the item by the way.

[@Mothcat.]

I currently can not get a harvest leppa berry pokemon, I personally keep track of turns and get a new caller when they’re close to struggling. I’ve been constantly failing Rockruff though because I accidentally run away Since rockruff has sand attack, I used sneasel that all had false swipe and keen eye

[@poualien3817]

The only thing weirder than him finding a double shiny Caterpie is the fact a *Caterpie* broke out of a critical capture

[@Tobeans]

Can you still do this? And if so, which game us this? Ultra or regular sun and moon? Does it matter? Does it work in both?

[@bartholomewfish6089]

Can someone explain why he had to kill the second caterpie

[@OHapybara]

Game won't let you catch a pokemon in a double encounter (same for hordes in X&Y) because the game tells you it's "too hard to aim". Only way it'll let you catch one is if you faint the other one first. Hope this helps a little!

[@Wrl2008]

Alola games are underrated, they disverve to be on switch

[@UndeadCollector]

Funfact: if ppl would relise how this Shiny hunt Methode work more clearly, we would already know how the Methode in Let's Go works too. It's not exactly the same, but the numbers are, and! you have to defeat/catch a Pokemon to giving the next Pokemon a higher shiny chance. So yes, at the end it makes sence, that if you stop catching Pokemon in Let's go, you lose your 1:273 shiny odds and it jumps back to 1:1024 until you catch the same pokemon again. The only difference is, that you are not always ina battle and Pokemon can always spawn without doing anything.

Asking a question. I played pokemon sun and was thinking should I get ultra sun or moon to do these type of hunts and for wormhole hunting? I haven’t played ultra sun and moon yet. It seems fun to do.

[@basilbrooke4449]

Wormhole hints in Ultra Sun/Moon are really fun, but the story of the game is really long so watch out for that

[@SERMareep2007]

They will be fine. Many games are so much longer it's not an issue​@@basilbrooke4449

[@litendermen]

This method is my favorite so I wanted to get a shiny zorua and encountered one but I forgot my togademaru had iron barbs and the zorua was low health so i accidentally killed it so I don’t like lowering hp while hunting anymore

[@CMH1213]

That caterpie was crazy, only if you could’ve kept both

[@shiratojin]

I remember trying to do this with Zorua in Ultra Sun in the uhm…. school grass, but I couldn’t because I sucked at it so I gave up. I only hunted as I heard that Zoroark could DESTROY UN if needed, by the end of the run he was like level 80-90 while everyone else was lv 60-70. Also what are synchs????

[@EternalRadiant]

Synchronize in earlier gens let’s you have a higher shot at the wild Pokémon being the same nature as the Pokémon in your party with synch. So let’s say I have a jolly synchronize abra. The wild Pokémon has a 50% chance of being jolly

[@juandavidorozco4632]

There's something I don't understand about this method. Do I have to keep the same Pokemon alive or do I have to kill the old one when the new appears and keep doing the same? If don't, what happens when the Pokemon is out of pp's?

I believe the reason that none of your synchronizers worked for the SOS is because the synchronizer copies the ability from the second pokemon in your party, I could be wrong though I just remember hearing this a while ago

Your synchronize wasn’t working because it has to be the Pokémon in battle when a call is answered. So you technically weren’t synchronizing for any of these.

I don't look how the shiny are but seems pretty amazing to discover how they're. And I didn't know that abou the schooling but it's very cool. Moment of me saying about I'm maybe burned out cuz sobble doesn't want to came like my shiny scorbunny, maybe it's good to me stop? Don't know But shiny alolan meowth it's so f*cking cool, a pretty blue - like perinkle but it's sadge about alolan Persian being ugly honestly. And Ayo? SICK AND DUDE I NEVER GO TO A COMIC CON :( It's cool? And clamper are cute, but the shiny does change the pearl? Confusing. Shiny corsola it's a dream to achieve but shiny galarian corsola its higher than the original, because I'm a biased ghost type person. Noelle remember me about deltarune. The rat just change for the original form? Brown shinys are cool, like it the shiny. Stands very well,, SAMPO NOOOOOOOO SAMPOO NOOOOO DUDE I HAVE E4 OD HIM, HATE HIM. This fella it's an actual 4th wall breaker with maybe a long way? Cubone shiny it's jus green, it's cute. Alolan shiny marowalk it's stunning, he's blue and black and is so sick Sometimes I think I'm wrong in the color, maybe cuz im? Yeee, I agree with you, good shiny. "regular shiny raticate"- Ange,2024 Shiny Elgyem its noticible(?).... Oooh, noted. The pink eyes it's like albinism and I didn't know Elgyem can be female, that's cool, like it Minioor. If I don't have it fear of dogs, I maybe liked more this shiny but, furfrou it's good, they make the same dinamic on wooloo. Frufrou it's spoiled and no one change my mind. Doodle it's a good name :( Shiny caterpie maybe is the best shiny of all of the shinies, don't know. Love the fact you accidentally get it another shiny caterpie, 2 down, 1 more- WHY DID YOU KILLED?? ;-;) you can't catch both? And that's all of the documentary, know it's time of me disappearing.
