Now the true challenge is: a Master Dex where *every* pokémon is a Ribbon Master and they're all shiny (except for the rare ones that can never be shiny, like the gift tentacool)

the thought of trying to get all shinys from the gen 1 virtual console is absolutely terrifying

[@Kaitachimaru]

its actually not posible to get shiny pokemon from random encounters in gen 1 if im not mistaken, only the starters, other gifts (incl game corner) and static encounters (aka just snorlax and the legends), but if you catch/ breed gen 1 pokemon in gen 2, trade them to gen 1 and then send em over to bank, it will say they are from vc kanto :D (so you would only have to get the legends in gen 1 itself)

[@vaporeondark1821]

[@Kaitachimaru]

@@vaporeondark1821 I mean, with 8f you can get anything you want, I meant with regular playing, no glitches XD

[@bmxriderforlife1234]

The IVs determine shiny in gen one. For ninety percent of the Pokemon its not possible to get all the iv combos and thus most also can't be shiny. Gen two is first game possible via breeding.

[@nirdaguss8089]

IIRC, if you catch the shiny Gyarados in Gen 2, teach it mimic and delete all other moves, send it to Gen 1, encounter a Ditto in the wild and use mimic to learn transform, the Ditto will transform into Gyarados and then use transform again to turn itself into a shiny Ditto. Then you send that shiny ditto back to Gen 2 and breed any Pokemon you want. Since the child inherit some of the parents IVs and IVs are what determines if a Pokemon is shiny or not, it is possible that this will increase your odds significantly. Unless they only get the IVs from the non Ditto parent or a male Pokemon. In which case you can still breed that shiny Gyarados with compatible Pokemon to increase your odds.

[@TheDeathmail]

Once you are done with a living dex challenge, would you do a perfect dex challenge? Each Pokemon available in each game being caught? So if you can capture a Magikarp in RGBY, you catch it, but if you can catch it in Johto, you gotta catch it there too... so you'd have one from each game it can be caught. Not just group of games, but the individual games. So one from Ruby, one from Saphire, one from Emerald... A Pokedex with Pokemon from everywhere... the ultimate Pokemon master.... I'll obviously never do it...

[@OffConstantly2u]

It’s doable cause Pokémon home holds 6000 mons and you would need 2597 ish without all forms

[@toumabyakuya3498]

@@OffConstantly2u Actually, if you count both all forms and Shinies (and you know Toby would), there actually isn't enough space. Unown alone already covers 24 boxes.

[@Rascal1214]

​@@toumabyakuya3498To be fair, you can't get all of the Gen 2 Unown to be shiny, only I & V, as well as not being able to get shiny Nidoran, Nidorina, and NidoQueen. So while you won't have room, you'll essentially be skipping all of Gen 2 Shiny Unown.

[@Valpak223]

I'm currently setting up living dex as what I call the "New Pokedex" where I put Pokemon in order or evolution. Regardless of which region they are from. For example Pichu is currently in position 25 Pikachu got moved up a spot. And then so forth and so forth. Alolan/Galarian variants don't count, so like Cubone is both a Kanto and Alolan pokemon, since he has two different evolutions in two different regions. So currently "New Kanto", as I like to call it has 181 Pokemon in it.

[@tobiaskreuzer3091]

I had the some idea The exentend KantoDex

[@dontlookatmyprofilepic7567]

My idea is that to make a national dex as in then have a section for all regional forms/ evos and another section for the different other forms like East and west sea gastrodon etc

[@ghosty918]

I simplified it down to Lines, Bulbasaur Ivysaur and Venusaur would all be 001. Just 001-1, 001-2, 001-3 Baby, split, Mega, Giga, and regional variants get their own symbol modifiers. Baby is -0, mega is an X or Y attached so for instance 001-3X for Mega Venusaur, and 003-3X and 003-3Y for Charizard. Its more future-proofed.

[@redstonianemboar5711]

This is exactly how I'm making my national living dex. The extra forms can go in the end of the region box or at the end of the dex haven't decided that yet. I also put meltan and melmetal at the end of kanto since they were in the kanto region before any other region (Let's go pikachu and eevee)

[@redstonianemboar5711]

oh and enamorus gets put behind landorus since it was an addition to that legendary group same moved all regis into hoenn's dex. keldeo stays where it was in it's dex despite being part of the swords of justice because it was introduced in the same generation and is a mythical not a legendary.

[@Rookiewill]

@4:17 You're missing a male variant butterfree from gen 1, lad... And before anyone else comments about how gender wasnt in gen 1, when you bring a gen 1 pokemon that isnt gender locked or gender locked into pokemon bank it's their attack IVs that determine what gender it will be assigned.

I completed my (third actually) livingdex during the lockdown... but this time I completed it as I dreamed: every Pokémon is a female, hidden ability and in a “matching” apriball / dreamball, in every form available. Sometimes I think of get out of the closet my old games and start filling those Pokédex too... in this way, I’ll have a “traveling” livingdex in Pokemon Home, and a “static” one in every save file (I’ll probably never do that).

[@skyryx5924]

I'm trying to do this, but with perfect IV and 4 egg moves on top of that. ^w^ And in all the rare pokeballs (apricorns, beast, dream, safari, sport).

[@raym.7271]

Why all female?

[@skyryx5924]

@@raym.7271 Because the female pokémon always passes down the specie when you breed. And it's take less space in your boxes to only keep female pokémon and 1 or 2 males (or ditto) to breed with perfect iv.

[@neilshadow8364]

Ray M. Simply because female Pokemon have a higher chance of pass the Hidden Ability to the offspring (on top of the species)

[@neilshadow8364]

Skyryx I tip my hat to that. Some of my living has actually egg moves (got them from trading online) , but I don’t have the patience to rebreed all of them (sometimes chain breeding) for moves.... As for the full special Pokeball, in most case I see only one or two actually ”fitting” with the Pokémon (because color or “theme”) so I limited myself to those :)

I think a neat addition or separate challenge would be to do a "ribbon" sort of challenge for forms that normally shouldn't have the ribbon. An example would have an Alolan Exeggutor with the "Champion Ribbon" from FRLG/RSE. You would have to not evolve it until Gen 7 and it would be a one of a kind Alolan Exeggutor with a ribbon(s) that it normally wouldn't have. Just food for thought for another challenge :)

Way back when diamond and pearl were about to release I played through ruby and sapphire again with my cousin. I was on ruby and she had sapphire. I had caught a tropius and named it "Muffin". We loved Muffin. I carried that thing through the entire game, and traded it to my cousin so she could play with it for a while, and then migrated it over to diamond, and Muffin was a staple on my team as I was trying to complete the pokedex on diamond. Not even joking, Muffin had easily seen 500 hours of screen time, or more. Black and white got announced, and was about to release and I was so excited to transfer Muffin to its 4th different game in its 3rd different region, and... And then another cousin of mine that I despise with every fiber of my being lost my copy of diamond. They got ahold of my DS and took my copy out, and put there's in, and never switched them back. I searched high and low for that game for YEARS. Never found it. That's the ultimate pokemon challenge in my eyes. Finding Muffin.

Just something extra you can do, now you've got N's pokemon. Go through each game and obtain all the ingame Trade pokemon from NPCs. Get thier unique IDs and Trainer names. Potentially, also get an instance of each one in their evolutionary forms. It gets interesting when you factor in XD/Colloseum mons too. Also specific gifted pokemon that you get given to you in each game, Castform in the weather centre, Lapras in silph. Also in Sword, i got to play through twice to get the Yamask gift. So i can have one to evolve. Just something you could do as an addon.

Love that thanks to the new legends we have a reason to get shadow Quilava. It’s the first thing that popped up to me

[@jonathanmarks3112]

Congrats Toby! You're just missing one thing... all possible Spinda variations :D

[@tallkid8655]

I'ma need to see your spinda variants

[@mattmckenna9320]

The Pokemon Company needs to Certify you as a Professor. Professor Toby!

[@oligould8575]

a shiny hunt for every single Pokemon would be a lifetime task... either that or get the game shark out haha

[@TotalCodeMonkey]

super glad you mentioned the hard feebas thing. I refuse to get feebas the new way after I got mine the original way. Any milotic I have are all descendants from the original feebas I got in ruby. sure the dependents will have the marker due to being hatched in a recent game, but I'm not catching any new ones

[@PokeArtistAce]

You know, I was looking up just the oddity and how to get the mirage island and there should also be a gold star for the eon duo for catching them there. As you can also catch them on that island when they are roaming.

[@Furnabulax1]

Toby, ur a mad lad. i wish i had the whole dex like u do, but i mean i SORTA do, i just gen it with PKHex to be something that can actually occur. i dont care to have a full living dex as OP as urs, but if i can get an event dex going (thankfully PKHex has a database for events i may have missed or rare events that ordinarily i couldnt get, ie. my Arcanine from the North American Championship in 2017) i will do that. Events are fun and trust me, once Crown Tundra comes, im using a Hidden Ability Capsule on my Gamestop Event Entei and adding him to my team (mind u that event mon i have had for roughly 10 years ever since the event dropped. i used a glitch to clone untouched versions of him however and have a few of those on my HOME Account. might give those away to friends, but im not sure. I like it bc it is the only way to find one in the rarest of balls, the Cherish Ball. i DO already have a HA Shiny Japanese Entei a friend got me from a japanese GSC virtual console game, but the ball sorta matters to me.) Also too bad the Dratini isnt an E-Speed one. i bred a Shiny, HA, Perfect nature and IV ESpeed one a few gens back. took a while (and technically i manipulated the RNG with an AR to get the shininess, but everything else is legitimate sooooo). if u ever need to get E Speed for urs, lmk. im part of ur discord server so just message me.

Hello! Don't know if you'll see this, when you mentioned the Cianwood Tentacool, there's a guy at the house on the bottom left who gives you a Shuckle when you talk to him.. I'm on my Heartgold version and had only a Crobat in my party after Elite four with the rest of team in box.. Not sure if the Shuckle is the alternative to the Tentacool you mentioned.

[@Albrett]

Oh boy do i wish I had the time, money and determination to do this. I have a living regional dex for base game sword/shield and let's go and Im currently working on a living regional for my ultra sun but your challenge is just way too much for me 😂 maybe I'll work up there eventually, in many, many years

[@travisdavis5280]

I feel like a good challenge that could be added would be adding every regions regional dex with it going off of the newest game. Ex. Hoenn regionaldex would be based off of oras

[@narpassword5675]

Wow. And I thought I was doing well just getting one of everything for my living 'dex... Maybe one day I'll try this. After I retire.

[@ShayDSoles]

So does the gift Porygon you get from the kid in the Isle of Armour expansion not count as a special requirement/ counting towards one of the Porygon lines? Or does it not because there’s only one?

[@just_a_bit_gamer0890]

2:11 gotta love how bw2’s combined logo is Pokémon Whack 2

[@Eramiserasmus]

Toby reminding us that with enough focus, you can get the craziest achievements done.

[@mcfluffle1640]

Show all the super special event pokemon you own!! And maybe a vid for lore on how these event pokemon came to be and what makes them the so mythical?

[@thelastlahofe]

Maybe you should try beating all the battle facilities for a new challenge maybe see how competitive changed from generation to generation

[@ShermTank7272]

How'd you get your virtual console mew? I know you can do the mew glitch still, but I thought that it was marked as illegal by the Poke Transporter?

[@MannMan86]

The shiny zigzagoon from the gamecube demo kiosk is my new mission

[@Leto85]

Now you can import Pokémon from Go as well. My shiny Darkrai is from Go. I love it that these Mythicals can have my own OT. And they're in Premier Balls, which makes them extra special to me.

[@AS-ri1mb]

Such an underrated channel

[@jansoncasa]

That's an impressive collection, pal! May I ask which Mew is the one you decided to pick? I guess there is no other option then the first gen "glitch"

[@Undrave]

I can think of a few special cases you didn't mention: The Friday Lapras from Johto? How about getting an Old Amber in Kalos from smashing rocks in Glittering Cave so you can get a Kalos Aerodactyl? I think you can also encounter a Rotom in the ruined hotel in Kalos, but like... only on certain days? And for Galar: in Galar Mine no 2 there's an overworld Gastrodon in a side path that you need the water bike to get... I've caught it and I've yet to see it respawn. Like, at all! Not unlike the Lv 80 Wailord from the Isle of Armor that could be a special case. And finally, all the Diglett hunt Pokémon! I think wild Kingdra and wild Milotic are very rare encounters as well in Galar that might be worth hunting for? Just a thought.

[@camc8157]

now that I've seen it, I can't unsee it. Bird Keeper Toby is what happens when Michael Reeves hits lvl 16

[@AnimilesYT]

I have a 2nd 3ds, but all virtual console games are on my main 3ds. Iirc I can't install games purchased on 1 account on 2 3ds systems at the same time, right? Or is there some way to do this? (Preferably with transfering save data so I don't have to play through a lot of the game again just for trading and breeding reasons)

[@DylPickleman]

I have a honey tree Munchlax in my copy of Platinum right now! It did take a few days and a lot of honey trees, though.

[@NinjaKinopio]

I'm not really interested in filling my living dex to this extent, but you always release one of these when I start to get fed up of trying to fill my regular one (including gender variants and form differences) and I always get an urge to try finish it again. Good luck to anyone trying to fill this.

[@viktorbergstroem1287]

Great job! Now catch every Spinda pattern.

[@JackChristmas]

Intermediate Pokédex challenge idea, as an alternative to the shiny living dex - The Hidden Ability Living Dex
