These Shiny Pokemon are Critically Endangered.

Some shiny pokemon are tied to specific methods in the older generations of pokemon games. Today, these methods are in danger, as 3DS online services shut down, potentially bringing pokemon bank with it in the future. Locking all access to them.
In this video, I investigated the fastest ways of getting all the legendary
and mythical pokemon shiny, tested them, and transferred them all through Pokemon Home to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

Watching someone go from literally zero knowledge, to ultimately tackling one of the most technical applications of the process was a joy. Also kind of hilarious, given that while you were working on this Blisy released the E-Reader event to get CHANNEL Jirachi in Emerald... but the important part is the journey, right? 😅 My favorite bit was when you realized how much fun it really can be. That addictive pull towards competitive shinies, is what ultimately lead to my journey for 5IV Shiny Extremespeed Zigzagoon. Somehow GameFreak inadvertently made the game even more fun, just by writing some bad code. Seriously excellent video, I feel like a proud Papa seeing Gen 3's content revival through glitches & RNG.

[@Kaeri11000]

25:20 For reference, Japanese has two main alphabets (three if you count kanji, but that's not relevant here). There's Hiragana, which is the blue box, and Katakana, which is the red box. They both contain (mostly) all the same sounds, just represented with different symbols. The difference being that Hiragana is used for regular Japanese words, whereas Katakana is used for foreign words, or Japanese words which may have a foreign origin. For example the Japanese word for taxi is タクシー which is literally just takushi, taxi sounded out using the Japanese sounds. This is an English word that Japanese people use, so they write it using Katakana. All of this is to say, that the symbol for he (へ) is pretty much identical in both Hiragana and Katakana. Certain fonts may try to differentiate them slightly, but yeah, this is the GBA we're talking about. So it's not in fact the same symbol put there twice, it is actually two, near identical (in this case, actually identical) symbols, with different usages, from two different alphabets. Hope this helps the confusion.

[@poopy9464]

25:23 Ah, good old へ and ヘ. The blue page contains all the hiragana characters while the red page contains all the katakana characters. It just so happens that the character for "he" looks pretty much identical in both hiragana and katakana. Funny seeing it cause a potential issue here.

[@RookieBalboa]

I went to Sleipnir because I had glitched my game by trying to RNG manip before My Pyre. I had softlocked myself because Archie wasn't able to be talked to at the top, meaning I couldn't get into Magma base to continue the story. Thanks to Sliepnir I managed to create another ??? egg and after some attempts managed to glitch into the Magma Base to continue the story. From there I was able to remake the egg by using the trade Horsea and resetting until I got the egg from the Pomeg berry glitch. Fun times, excited to go back to Emerald RNG manip once I complete the Arceus dex lol

[@robertwolfgan]

For someone very, VERY dumb like me, do you have any advice to be able to understand these things and do them :c...? I just barely understand that clicking on the legendary Pokémon to open the fight and it not being shiny means you gotta reset and try again and again on that saved file hundreds of times until you get it shiny...and that's it, I have YET to see a video that explains IVs and EVs and all of that jazz to me in a way my dumb brain can comprehend 😭...and I just wanna be the very best, like no one ever was...but feel like a total failure reading all these fans understanding everything about this and "glitches" and mumbo jumbo BUT me...

[@ryanchad8384]

The only problem i can see with RNG manipulation is that every single pokemon encountered on the same frame has the exact same PID, ability slot and nature and I'm not sure if pokemon will make pokemon with identical data illigal in the future seeing as how they made cloned pokemon untransferable in BDSP. So to be safe you might want to do this with multiple save files and TID/SIDs.

[@trailspokemon]

Don't necessarily need multiple save files, since you can change the TID/SID with the glitch pokemon. But yes, you can do this as an extra precaution

[@ulqi]

They can't do that because of Emerald seeding. Every pokemon in that game has thousands of clones across the world.

[@pircachupi4771]

The spiraling at the end as you go even further for all of this on all of your pokemon... yeah, I know that *exact* experience. My partner has been working on building a shiny living dex for a very long time, occasionally chipping away at it and picking up new pokemon they get. This means that they need some of the very obscure ones, including a shiny manaphy. Well, I happen to own a copy of the original pokemon ranger from my childhood, and I never did the manaphy event in that game. So I restarted my save file, played through the game, and did the manaphy event to get a manaphy egg to transfer over to a gen 4 game. I'd also recently picked up a copy of pokemon diamond, so it was time to begin. I'd done some RNG manipulation in gen 5 before, so I had a bit of experience. I knew I needed to RNG manipulate the egg I picked up to match my TID/SID, but since I was already going for a shiny, why not *also* manipulate my TID/SID so that I could get one with perfect IVs? So I did. Manipulated the egg, manipulated my TID/SID, hatched a shiny manaphy with perfect IVs and a good nature. But I mean, I'm in gen 4, and it would be a shame to pass up collecting all of those ribbons... So I traded it over to my childhood copy of pearl and beat the E4, got all of the day of the week ribbons from Sunnyshore, got the manaphy to max happiness for the footprint ribbon, and fully EV trained it for the effort ribbon. Then there were the contests. Did all four ranks of all five contest types to get all 20 ribbons, and I believe it's the first time I ever completed a master rank contest in gen 4, since I hadn't played the games since my childhood. And then the money ribbons. Spent a few hours repeatedly rebattling the rich couple south of Hearthome city to afford those. Also the first time I ever entered the ribbon syndicate, which was neat. Then I transferred the manaphy over to soul silver to beat red and get the legendary ribbon. Thankfully, manaphy isn't allowed into the battle facilities, so I was finally done. But gen 6 has some more ribbons... Took it to the Kalos E4 after transferring it up, beat all of the super training minigames with it, and fed it enough sweets for it to love me in pokemon amie. Again, thankfully no battle maison. But, heading over to Hoenn, there's more contest ribbons. Already had all of the master rank contests unlocked, so went through all 5 of those with the maxed contest stats I already had from gen 4 (with a little help from pokeblocks since sheen disappears in gen 6), and got all 5 of those ribbons, plus the contest star ribbon for having them all. And the Hoenn E4 as well. Gen 7 is significantly easier at first, since manaphy is banned from the battle facilities, so just needed the E4 ribbon from Alola. Except that manaphy *is* allowed in the battle tree normal battles in USUM only. I... don't have those games. But I *cannot* hand over a manaphy to them that's only one step from being perfect. So I got Ultra Moon, and I'm gonna be playing through it to get the one last ribbon I need. I don't own any Switch pokemon games and I never plan to, so the rest of the ribbons are on them to get once this manaphy is in their Pokemon Home. I'm just one step away from them having... one more pokemon in their living shiny dex. Hooray!

[@alexandernewton4592]

May I ask how did you manage to hatch the Manaphy as a shiny, did you do RNG manip to make the PID of the egg to shiny match the TID and SID of the game you were going to trade the egg to after receiving it from Ranger? Because Manaphy is shiny locked so if you received the egg with a PID that shiny matched your own TID and SID then when it hatches it shifts over one frame to avoid being shiny so can't actually hatch the egg to be shiny from the game you received the egg from Ranger on. I know this because I used PKHex to alter an eggs PID to shiny match the OTs TID and SID but kept being non shiny until I then realised the PID can't shiny match those before hatching so you need to get the egg from Ranger without shiny matching so it freezes the PID to whatever it is then trade it to another game with the TID and SID to shiny match it when it hatches because that PID which is frozen from your original game doesn't shift and then presto it hatches and shiny matches your second game's TID and SID. So did you hatch the egg shiny on the OT game or did you have to then trade the egg? Because I really wanted the info of my shiny Manaphy to read it was from Ranger event instead of saying came in a link trade but thought that this was impossible because of the shiny lock. Thanks in advance for any info!

[@robertwolfgan]

You are AMAZING. Say, any specific reason you don't want to play the Switch Pokémon after having such a beautiful mind that understands these Pokémon game things? It even has some pretty cool games as well like Metroids and Mario Wonders and so many other fun ones (don't have a Switch because I'm poor but always watch videos of others playing and I imagine it's me)

[@katieg1071]

To explain the "capital and lowercase" characters: In the case of the vowels (ア, エ, イ, オ, and ウ) and the y sounds (ヤ, ユ, and ヨ), the small versions are used for sounds that don't have their own characters. For example, the sound "sha" is made of シ (shi) and ャ (tiny ya). So you write it シャ. The smiley face is "tsu", and the tiny version is used for glottal stops, which are kind of hard to explain but are written in Latin letters as two of the letter, like in "zutto" (ズット). The accent marks are called diacritics, by the way. Mostly they change the consonant associated with the sound ("ha" to "ba" or "pa") And of course, all of these apply to hiragana as well. Katakana in particular has some interesting uses for the tiny characters in loanwords, to create sounds that normally don't exist in Japanese like "ti", but that's a whole nother can of worms. But yeah, if you don't read Japanese, it's basically a game of matching pictures, and the tiny ones do not help. Kudos. Edit: The OT of Tanabata Jirachi is, predictably, "Tanabata.".

[@aikou2886]

I would explain glottal stops as a small pause before Te next consonant to then enlongate the sound, hence they are romanized with a double consonant (zutto, nekko, bikkuri, etc). But other than that, it was a nice explanation.

[@FatalBurnz]

@@aikou2886 Pizza is a good example of glottal stop in english, and the spelling happens to follow the same rules as romaji

@@FatalBurnz ironically, japanese spelling for pizza doesnt have double consonant (ピザ instead of ピッザ)

Really cool video! I just started gen 3 RNG myself, after being exposed to it in BDSP using a camera to get all the Pal Park legends shiny. I’m currently on a MUCH less complex RNG journey, on my homebrewed 3DS with a virtual console copy/ROM of Fire Red. I’m aiming to complete my Shiny Legendary dex in Home which requires over 50+ hunts. Most of them are RNGs in gen 6 and 7, but the few I cannot get with those games are being done via RNG manips on Fire Red and spamming tries at Dynamax Adventure raids. So far I’ve RNGed Deoxys once, but now I’m aiming for “decent” stat spreads with maybe 1 or 2 IVs I actually want and the rest random, all while maintaining my SID, for consistency. After I finish my last 3 Deoxys forms, it’s on to Navel Rock for Lugia and Ho-Oh, and back to the Seafoam Isalnds, Mt. Ember, and the Power Plant for the birds. Only then, will I be able to charge into Cerulean cave and pick up my shiny Mewtwo. To get my non-Go shiny Mew and Jirachi, I’ll probably look at Blisy’s eReader events and the process for injecting them into my homebrewed 3DS for completion on my VC version of Emerald.

[@furiko9989]

Your videos are so insanely elaborate, I fkn love it 😂

[@alexpalaciossantos4940]

the "lowercase" symbols: ツ -> ッツ arent really the same character, but smaller, they change the way consonants or vowels are pronounced. so the ツ　is pronounced "tsu", but the smaller version means that you add stress to the consonant that follows. so カ ka becomes ッカ kka and the degree and quotes after other symbols change which related consonants you use. in linguistics h-b-p as a grouping and d-t-th (dentals) all share enough similarities in the way our mouths move to be grouped together. so in japanese haハ baバ and paパ look the same, minus those small symbols this is without going into the two alphabets/syllabaries japanese uses, which are essentially the same sounds, but one used for native japanese, and another for loan words, onomatopoeia, and other stresses/exclamations/difference in familiarity

Seemingly, PKHex also doesn't have a special flying Pikachu distributed by Japan's national airplane company among their travellers in its database. Side note: one Pokemon that will definitively become extinct is the special Pichu with a weird ear that cannot leave the Soul Silver/Heart Gold cartridge it was downloaded to. EDIT: 25:36 the reason why it's one symbol, two codes is that the red page is for katakana and the blue page is for hiragana, and that symbol (he) looks the same in both due mainly to it coming from the ame kanji through the same simplification; in manuscript and higher definition fonts they do look slightly different (katakana looks sharper), but portable Pokémon games use fonts with los pixel counts.

[@anonanonymous9670]

At least Spiky Eared Pichu is in Super Smash Bros Ultimate :)

I actually recently went through the same journey of RNG manipulation. Though I've been playing through each of the generations, and learning each method. HGSS first, then FRLG, and then Emerald. Gen 3 definitely had the most quirks about it so far, and I did most of the things you did in Emerald. Getting multiple versions of the same Legend is a bit much, I only did that for stuff like Battle Frontier symbols. For stuff like the Regis or Ho-oh/Lugia, I decided to go for different versions when i encountered them in different games. Like catching a different nature spread for the Regi trio in BW2 than I did for Emerald. If you want to try something easier, Gen 5 RNG is actually really chill, at least when compared to Gen 3. I'm currently still in the process of setting up Gen 6.

[@ShadyRK9]

While going through all my old Pokémon games I found a Shiny Hoopa in Alpha Sapphire that I had forgotten all about! (That I don't think is legal! 🚨) Also Shiny Shaymin is coming to Pokémon GO next month with Sinnoh Tour! ✨🦔

[@mobious01]

Yeah is not legal

[@venomdank965]

amazing video bro, might have to try this my self. :)

[@RioIII]

Was resetting for Shiny Azelf in Ultra Sun while watching it, just got it and caught it

[@akiraakiraakiraakira]

34min well spent.amazing video

[@papyrusty368]

You know it's a good day when trails uploads!

[@ShinyHunterSolyu]

I got me a shiny Rowlet in a moon ball in Violet. Named it Trails. Love your vids

[@HBQV]

I just found your channel a couple hours ago, fittingly enough whilst watching your Indigo Disk 100 sandwiches video I caught my first Tera Raid Den shiny. It is a shiny Palafin, it’s been like two hours and I’m still shocked. It is on my Violet save file, where I don’t have the shiny charm.

[@anonanonymous9670]

Shiny Charm doesn't actually affect the Shiny rates for static Pokemon / Tera dens Shiny Tera dens are slightly more rare than base odds (I think like 100 more than the base)

[@HBQV]

@@anonanonymous9670 Huh, that’s really cool because the day after I caught the shiny Palafin I found a shiny Shiftree also from a den

[@anonanonymous9670]

@@HBQV Was that Shiftree from a singleplayer tera den or an online one? If it's singeplayer then you're really lucky to get 2 shiny raid dens in such a short time

[@HBQV]

@@anonanonymous9670 Both were from online dens, I was joining random dens for Pokemon that I needed

[@lonestar7699]

I'm literally doing this; and somehow the algorithm knows; except with every Pokémon on the Dex. I've completed numbers 1-493, and now I'm doing Gen 5 BWB2W2 All shiny... or as many as I can get. Turns out the only Pokémon you CANT get in Gen 3 are Espeon and Umbreon unless you have Colosseum/XD, never mind them shiny, so I had a few extra shiny Eevees to use in Gen 4. Anyway, looking forward to any RNG manipulation videos!

[@jamesstone404]

I’m shiny hunting in Gen 4 right now, so I can’t wait for that video!

[@starchildluke]

I managed to get shiny Deoxys last night in LeafGreen, way under odds. My greatest shiny achievement. Brought it up to Violet now.

[@ExpertJared]

If you want to get Jirachi, there is a code that changes the roamer to any pokemon you want. If you change it to Jirachi, you can also manipulate the pokemons PID to be shiny whenever it is encountered. When you catch Jirachi, you can then use codes to change catch game, encounter type, and pokeball. I did this to catch the 3 Johto dogs, modifying their data to make them appear as purified shiny shadow pokemon from Colloseum.

[@yoshifet8666]

24:17 for the Tanabata Jirachi, the OT name you inputted, “タナバタ”, means Tanabata lol, you’re inputting the name of the event just like the others

[@MiaViolaHollis]

Darkrai and Shaymin are huntable in brilliant Diamond, the only two things locked in that whole game are mew and jirachi. Even Arceus can be shiny hunted. Excellent video though Trails!

[@Sodabull]

Great content dude

[@Frank_Erz]

I just want you to know that watching this video caused KZbin to recommend me videos about endangered real animals and now I can't separate the other guy's voice from the concept of extinction.

[@ohok45624]

I've never shiny hunted in my life and only ever gotten one shiny back as a kid in pokemon Y, I can't imagine the dedication people out in to get them.

[@Zudexa]

Nintendo and gamefreak/TPC making L decisions over and over and over since the 3ds came out. Shutting down 3ds servers was a massive disappointment, shutting down pokemon bank is a huge backwards step, making the games in unity and straying even further from the 8bit art style was one of the worst decisions. As a pokemon fan since pokemon red, I can’t stand the disrespect that has been shown over the past few years.

[@robertwolfgan]

Dido.

[@saged1513]

For the "be"(べ/べ)character, the difference between the characters is the "blue" page is hirigana and the "red" page is katakana. They're different alphabets that represent(mostly)the same set of sounds. The different alphabets are used in different contexts, and the characters for the same sounds often look similar(か/カandり/リ) with the differences coming from the calligraphy used to paint them. In short, べ and ベ look and sound identical, but they are technically different characters from different alphabets, and that's why the game recognized them as different

[@user-xc3kn1lm9w]

Hi trails love your content ❤️❤️❤️

[@alexcruz6174]

So... would you be able to transfer with poke transporter/bank using ACE hatched pokemon from virtual console gold/silver? I tried yesterday and couldnt see them in the first box?

[@trailspokemon]

Yes, I did this in the first video in the series ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6qkepyAe6l1pa8 ) You do have to make sure that pokemon is possible to exist - Legendaries need to be at or over the minimum level for their wild encounters, any evolved form pokemon need to be at or over a level possible in the wild or where their evolution occurs, no illegal moves for those pokemon, etc.

[@BlazeNextGen]

You got them all shiny? But at what cost? Lots of money and sanity also I love your Ogerpons Nickname OwO go bonk XD

[@uneededforlife]

Thank you for all this info

[@fallensurvivor21]

I have the Jirachi disc, and a copy of Sapphire and Ruby ^_^ I'n mass migrating everyone over to each game.. some might settle in certain regions, but the majority are going to Let's Go, Galar & Paldea.

[@pergyyy]

I know most people probably don't care, but at 25:24 the reason why the character has 2 different index numbers is because Japanese uses 2 different "alphabets", despite the second one just changing what the symbols look like and not the what they actually sound like. I won't explain the reason why, but the two are called Hiragana and Katakana and some symbols for both are either very similar or just the same, so that's why that symbol has 2 different indexes (despite having them share one index would have been more memory efficient AND CHANGES NOTHING)

[@ArtisChronicles]

... I bought shiny Jirachi research though. So I'm actually good. Same with the random shiny Deoxys raids. So I'm doubly fine on that. I got a little screwed on shiny Darkrai though. Missed the event item from BDSP. So there's that. Btw not telling you to just get stuff in Go. It's just sad that lots of stuff are being killed off this way. Hence why I'm also trying to hunt shiny manaphy. Something most definitely not in Go.

[@Some-Guy-Named-Dave]

yeah that metro detroit forecast, its been one hell of a week around these parts LOL

[@xcruell]

Bro i feel you, because of my ids my first shiny rayquaza was at like 20400 advances and it was garbage.. So i went for one at ~24000, took me 3hrs but i got it (it was my first time with rng manipulation)

[@jordanspitz5514]

I didnt do these methods, but watching this full video was entertaining ashh

[@theweirdlyfriendlymushroom7920]

I've literally lived the same rabbit hole in the last month Only difference I started from rng manip in gen 4, discovered ACE in gen1 and finally moved to gen 3 combining everything and creating the pokemon crafting table by E-Sh4rk

[@XthesoldierofdeathX]

It also made me sad/happy that feebas was introduced in the newest DLC. I had a legitimate shiny one and it was just super neat knowing i had a digitally restricted commodity.

[@mateuszt661]

Is cloning pokemon in Emerald (legal cartridge) safe? I wanted to transfer some of my old pokemon up to scarlet and violet but on the other hand I still would like to have them in emerald so I think cloning will solve that issue

[@kaizerdxd]

Shiny hunting Latios/Latias was pretty hard on my copy of Emerald

[@CoralReaper707]

Shiny Locking Pokemon is objectively the stupidest thing gamefreak does

[@eeveeblazelol]

this re inspired me to rng my tid/sid in emerald, i gave up after a comically long time of me messing up

[@ali3ngazer275]

Still got my shiny celabi, shiny jirachi and 2 shiny mews. Gladly i was able to transfer my old pokemon to home just in time

[@razrv3lc]

RNG manip is something I’ve only ever scratched the surface of but when I got a shiny Arceus in BDSP doing it, it was SO satisfying. Genuinely one of the most fun things that’s happened for me in Pokemon in the last decade would ironically be in those otherwise terrible remakes haha

[@tinkywinky1995]

Correction to your video because I've done this on an English copy of pokemon emerald. Anything spawned into mirage island using ACE EXCEPT celebi is transferable. I was able to get everyone from gen one to three except celebi using ACE. I would also highly recommend covering gen four RNG manipulating. If you thought gen three was tough gen four is a pain.

[@BoxuTrev]

Deoxys is one of my favourite mythicals, so i’m gonna try and do these tricks to get it shiny with a fun ribbon :3

[@conn503]

I have the shiny jirachi research he's talking about and I have been completing the research for it for almost a whole year now still don't have it at least I have my shiny celebi and my shiny mew

10:01 how did you get the other two forms of deoxys?

[@justinhamilton8647]

Me and my PC Tohoku shiny Jirachi that I got in Japan: look at what they need just to mimic a fraction of our power

[@pokemonfan187]

even if you play pokemon go for those shiny legendary and mythical pokemon you out of luck if you transfer it anywhere in pokemon home because of 2 things. 1. is that you transfer it to pokemon go and it will be locked and 2. the only way for it to be unlocked is by trade a pokemon for the same pokemon you have in home or get the game data for that pokemon then transfer it into your game (i want my hoppa from pokemon go into my game but it stuck in home hell)

[@XthesoldierofdeathX]

I have the special researchs for Shiny Jirachi & Shiny Mew. I dont feel like i'll appreciate it as much so i'm most likely gonna trade it to some big fan.

[@robertwolfgan]

This is the reason people plays emulation and ROM hacks... Nintendo pushes fans further from the fun of playing which hacks keep for the fans sake. They truly, masterfully shoot themselves in the foot. It's like they want us all to straight up hack and stop using their official stuff.
