The WORST way to fail a shiny Pokémon

[@TylerTinted]

The legendary shiny luck turned into a curse

[@JSM95]

You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain

[@Svithi.N.98]

Lesson to be learned------> do not synchro travel too far from your character😅😅 (they had made auto battles shiny fail proof... wish they had implemented something for the synchro one 😢)

[@idreadFell365]

I’m scared because I’ve bump into shinies I wasn’t planning to hunt a lot of times in that game.

[@idreadFell365]

And it just happened me approximately 15 minutes after I made that comment😭

[@namicolo9787]

The legendaries are shiny locked in the game. I hope you weren't trying to get one.

[@agentomecha634]

I can already picture the shiny fail compilations surrounding this mechanic.

[@gianluccafadiga]

I literally find a Geodude in syncro tutorial, no way to catch it

[@MrSnowmandeath]

If you want to be a pokemon play pkmn ranger and have a tailor made experience, not a gimmicky mechanic.

[@Arceusbot]

I just failed a shiny smeargle just playing with synchro mode😂😂😂😂😂 literally spawned in my way and puff my pokemon defeated it

[@frostmint3584]

I encountered and even accidentally killed a shiny vibrava in the Savannah biome... My character was in the polar biome xD never going more than 5 feet with synchro again.

[@derpishfeelings6539]

The first time I used this machine I spawned in an alolan geodude outbreak. 10 seconds later, a shiny geodude spawns. THANKS GAMEFREAK

[@JustinObi54]

The synchro machine is how I caught my first full odds shiny, it was a shiny tyrogue.

[@Saiyan254]

Interesting challenge for JMC who can defeat the most shiny pokemon with the machine

[@Sub2Calmac]

YES

[@TheCyberGoblin]

That sounds like it would be physically painful for them. I love it.

[@TapuFox]

you should pin this comment john!

[@rodimusunicronus2089]

Heehehe

[@risuwolf]

Or see if they can do what he was doing and get the shiny back toward the trainer

[@JA-js8uk]

I’m honestly more impressed you noticed the shiny Seel

[@moviefan8210]

I'm using night mode on my screen, so I thought it was a normal Seel at first

[@gyranix]

Shiny hunters have keen eyes cause we have all hard reset on at least one shiny and NEVER AGAIN

Had this happen DURING THE SYNCHRO TUTORIAL 😱😱 I thought I was the only one 😅😅

I was just wondering this today, reminds me of the old games where you could encounter shinies before you got pokeballs 💀 or worse: the professor shows you a shiny 😭

[@midnightgalaxy432]

@@msthecommentator2863does anyone know what the game in the video is?

[@LexiTheStarQueen]

Bring back Legends: Arceus spawning mechanics Aka Pokémon will only vanish from view, but NEVER despawn unless you enter a building, city, town, until the next day

[@darknesswave100]

Plus the noise. I don't know how he noticed that seal being shiny like that

[@stormbiskit7271]

I can see the idea behind this, but it would make the current methods of shiny hunting significantly more difficult, since you’d need to find a building/town to despawn everything, and the majority of SV’s overworld is… lacking in those. Heck, to do the Terrarrium you’d literally need to either leave the ENTIRE terrarium, or maybe head into the center area. Either way it’d be annoying.

[@DigiRangerScott]

@@darknesswave100Shiny hunting in Let’s Go probably was enough mental training

[@captain.snowman4769]

Your tryna make the game run even worse?

[@darknesswave100]

@DigiRangerScott well not everybody bothered to play that game so there is that

[@MonadoWolf]

Don't worry John you don't need you to tell me about this... It happened to me with a shiny scyther I was far enough away that it would despawn but at the same time so close. This is also how I learnt that you will attack ANY Pokemon, even shiny ones.

[@andrewgerth7803]

I also killed a shiny scyther but I don't know if I was far away or not

[@anguswilson9452]

You can even defeat wild tera Pokémon using the synchro machine

[@daiya4794]

[@madnessarcade7447]

[@maskedcucco4576]

If playing as the Pokémon is what you want, you should play the Mystery Dungeon games.

[@rawkstar2630]

I am convinced Gamefreak hates their fans because why the hell are the returning legendaries shiny locked and NOT THE POKEMON YOU CAN’T EVEN CATCH

[@JayceCH.]

At least you can KO them so if you cant tell they are shiny, put of sight out of mind! /s.....

[@AcornObjectResort]

They should make a upgrade to this feature when you accidentally kill a shiny with this feature it just makes 1 spawn right near you when your done syncronizing

[@ashtonoak4370]

I lost 20 bucks out my pocket so when i get home the 20 should be there.... Thats not how it works.

[@taylorblazi1580]

​@ashtonoak4370 real life where stress is at least partially mandatory or a game I purchased to destress. Honestly, a fantasy video game being less punishing than real life is just logical.

[@Riverfrost77]

I’m sensing a new challenge for the Jonmichael cup hahaha

[@HeyThere_Dragon]

Not only that, but you can trick your friends who are shiny hunting in a union. I had this idea a few days ago but it didn't work since my friends kept moving around and I couldn't keep track. But the next group, I and another guy were shiny hunting for Scizor. We thought it was immediate because we saw a shiny one, thought it was glitches when we couldn't fight it and just phased through it, then found it it was a friend using the Sync machine. Have fun with this knowledge!

[@Midnight_Prowl]

I literally watched this happen during your stream. I feel so bad for you, John.

[@SailorLavender]

Game Freak: "How do we simultaneously make dreams and nightmares come true?"

[@tigerwalccer]

I DEFINITELY DON'T recommend you guys shiny hunt with a synchro machine because I have learnt the worst by punching a shiny exeggcute in the face (note: I didn't know this at the time thought it would be like auto battles.) My soul left my body on that day.

Shinies need to be locked while in that form.

Game freak should make it so that you can give your Pokemon some pokeballs, but just to make people suffer, they are 10 times less effective.

I've seen people shiny hunt using their pokemon and they have some great tactics. Like staying next to the spawn point with their character before changing into the pokemon and then having that shiny go towards the trainer to get the catch. Doesn't seem hard, just time-consuming.
