I Spent 100 Hours Shiny Hunting LEGENDARY Pokémon

Dynamax Adventures is one of the best ways to hunt SHINY LEGENDARY Pokémon. It's the ONLY way to hunt some legends shiny! I'm going to be playing Dynamax Adventures for the first time, for 100 HOURS to see how many shiny Pokémon I can catch!

What's the best shiny legendary??🤔

[@JsAwesomeAnimations]

I’m answering something basic, but good, and that is Rayquaza

[@Fancy_Pigeon99]

I would say bidof

[@Gleaming_Goomy]

Zygarde

[@DragonMaster-19]

Ray-Ray

[@Mexadankis]

GROUDON

[@JsAwesomeAnimations]

Xurkitree: just gonna let this guy have a quick W

[@Thumbus]

needed that w so bad

[@guzzlordguy5991]

I hate that stupid bundle of wires, he thinks he so cool, with lightning sparks coming out of him, wish I never met that guy

[@venomgaming7014]

@@Thumbusand that’s why xurkitree is my favourite (yes, even more than naganadel).

[@Slayyy29]

We love xurkitree

The best goober! I love them.

[@olivia450]

Wow, the immediate shiny Xurkitree is amazing!🤯😄 Also congrats on eventually finding your Zygarde!👏🏻 It really does have such a great shiny! I've been replaying Shield and started doing DAs myself after watching DA shiny hunting videos-they're so fun to watch😊 I got a shiny Nidoqueen the first DA I did after getting the shiny charm, and tonight, on my 18th (or 19th? hard to keep track) DA since getting the charm, I got shiny Mewtwo🤯 I was stunned! Shiny luck can be cruel sometimes but it can also be incredible!!😄

[@KAITOsNumberOneLover]

Back when I did the max lair tutorial with Suicune I used a MASTER ball on it because I didn’t know it would have a 100% catch rate💀

[@gymleaderhasan]

DAs can be nice, but they can also be incredibly cruel. My past three hunts were: Palkia- 171 Tornadus- 242 Nihilego(ongoing)- 266 And I do have the shiny charm btw

[@Sailor-Khione]

I can't recall how many I did but, one night I was going for it and the first check was tapu fini.

[@CCayne]

After almost a month of Nihilego checks, I'm convinced it doesn't exist 😭

[@Arveral...]

Me entei -20

[@drewetttt1348]

I hunted shiny ho-oh from day 1 of the crown tundra. Right up until a week before Scarlett and violet released. Lots of shinies in between but no ho-oh. That hunt made a man out of me, I am glad my reaction was filmed

[@Plungerguy97]

15:59 that rayquaza looked shiny for that one frame

[@alinac5512]

I thought I was bugging, I could have sworn it was shiny. About to go frame by frame to see it again

[@Roundfrog]

I was about to go to bed and then I saw this, the algorithm is upsettingly good at holding me here

[@JustMeMessingAround]

I’m extremely lucky in these raids. Almost every time I had gone on a 3 hour road trip, I got at least 1 shiny. I even called a shiny Zekrom. Dynamax adventures are my one and only true love.

[@bradychapman5645]

I got Zekrom and Latios within about 7 raids of one another

[@JustMeMessingAround]

@@bradychapman5645 That’s cool. I got Reshiram in about 2 tries.

[@_BELMONT_]

i've been resetting on Darkrai in BDSP for 2.5 years. i dont wanna hear about "the grind"

[@JoseWasNotAvailable]

Did turtwig is BDSP as well which takes longer to soft reset because of the cutscene. Don’t just come to the comments to flex because there’s always someone who’s done a harder hunt buddy.

[@PeanutVr-qj2cq]

2.4 years? I've been looking for a shiny mew under the truck for 25 years So I don't wanna hear about "the grind"

[@phantomhiphop]

​@@PeanutVr-qj2cqlol you’ll find it one day

[@Bobaking89]

Godspeed hope you get him one day. It took me about the same amount of time on and off until I got it. Funny enough I got Shiny Deoxys in fire red a week later lol

[@nordinaeilkema]

How many encounters have you done??

[@simonthebro5473]

Please do another one of these I don’t know why, but I love watching dynamax adventure shiny hunts

[@cheeseman529]

happy to have contributed something, fought in the xurkitree raid at the beginning and traded a zamazenta for your dex, but great video as always Thumbus

[@MetalThatIsBended2269]

Xurkitree: “Eh, why not!” Edit: Yay! 45K! Congrats!

[@RandomGuyInUrWallsss]

Congrats on the Shiny Zygarde! Gotta say, im jealous. I've been off and on hunting Zygarde for a few months now, and still no luck. But yeah, Congrats!

[@BeeMan12]

Yo, want a shiny zygarde?

[@15kinz]

same thing that happened to you with xurkitree happened to me with groudon on my first ever dynamax adventure too! i didn’t have shiny charm at that point either. was my first shiny legendary ever, and that’s how groudon became my favorite pokémon lol. i became obsessed with dynamax adventures after that, i ended up finding probably 10-15 more shiny legendaries.

[@N.EO-Quartz]

I will say that a certain individual in the Pokemon universe must have been extremely lucky (or stubborn) in order to find his shiny Zygarde, because this seems like agony. Despite my “lack of affinity” for the albino snake, it’s still a great accomplishment. Great job.

[@N.EO-Quartz]

Or, you know, it’s NOT a Zygarde and Gib-I mean, “a certain individual” is just a big liar. Or Terapagos has something to do with it. Sorry, I’m so fed up about this…

[@ClMc-w3s]

I love this method i actually once was just casually playing and i found a shiny cresselia

[@Ronaldo-m3ssi]

I’m glad someone else plays this game too in the world

[@shuzza_]

w vid. loved it. ill tune in if you do more sword and shield bits because thats the only pokemon game i got nowadays 🙌

[@jeremyrennerfn]

my wife spent 100 hours shiny hunting a different colored husband

[@Uroborosf]

In my Zygarde hunt I had path which was taking 7-10 turns overall. Cryogonal was the star with pelipper/mantine/ribombee support. Zygarde was like fake tears + max hail ohko on first/second turn depending on previous fights. Congrats, mine took 140 das. It is so satisfying after blind tries and being wiped out over and over, I had to farm raid ores for a couple of days thou …

[@twistedteddy3948]

Anyone who says "ultra beast are not legends" they are considered sub legends, let the man have his win

[@iMind-Juris]

They're definitely legendaries - just a specific sort/subclass. I'd say the same about mythicals tbh

[@twistedteddy3948]

@iMind-Juris right? But still there are people that are like "um, that an ultra beast ☝🏻🤓" if you only get 1 chance to catch it, it's a legendary

[@Rapturedfisk]

The patience you have is crazy

[@BeeMan12]

Who needs shiny zygarde? I don’t need it

[@XsalingMO]

If your giving it away I want it

[@ep1633]

I keep watching dynamax adventure vids to give me hope. I did enough zygardes to go from 0 to max dynite and now im down to like 500 from my current zygarde path

[@shatteredstar7218]

4:44 sorry but I absolutely disagree with ya there thumbus, if any game deserved a legends it is DEFINITELY kalos. Gen 1 has had so many new versions of the og games, gen 2 had heart gold/soul silver, 3 had oras, 4 had both bdsp and pla, 5 had its 2nd versions. X and Y got NOTHING. it may have brought one of the best gimmicks and had one of the best animes, but in terms of the game, other than the story there was nothing much else to do aside from the friend safari and battle place. Kalos never got their second games, so we never got any other content for it in X and y. It barely had anything in the games so it definitely deserves something after all these years.

[@Thumbus]

I agree it deserves a legends game, probably more than most game I just never liked Gen 6 it’s always been my least favorite generation (probably because the lack of content like you mentioned) so I’m hoping legends ZA will make me love kalos for the first time lol

[@shatteredstar7218]

@@Thumbus hopefully! I've always loved kalos,(with pokemon X being my first pokemon game,) even I can admit that the games aren't the best, especially replaying them last year and still very much enjoying it. Thankfully we've got an extra year till plza comes so I'm very hopeful that they're gonna make it the best it can be and give X and Y the justice they deserve :)

he gamed so hard but the sky snake was too slippery o7

[@phoebes3143]

If you quit out as the host does that affect the other people doing the dynamax adventure with you? Great video mate

[@Thumbus]

Nope! They get to check all 4 Pokémon for a shiny and still get ore after it’s over, only the host is penalized

[@SimplyJilly]

I got my shiny zygarde in 5 das, I was actually so lucky with the path, I had 2 other people and a bit, the ending team was arourus, wigglytuff, mienshao, and hitmonlee. I can’t tell you how happy I was to get that shiny. I never thought I would get him

[@lucideirune1635]

Zygarde is the second hardest shiny hunt out of all of them. I would even say it is harder to shiny hunt than Safari Zone Chansey just bc it relies so much on RNG. I hunted Zygarde and it took a month and a half to finally get the shiny.

[@_DewGaming]

FYI, Complete doesn't have its defense boosted. It has 10 base points shifted from Speed to Special Attack

[@pemanilnoob]

Glad to see another luxury ball user

[@HunterDarling-xj2uj]

Yo I was in the Trust The Process raid. Or the one after I don't remember. I'm pretty sure I was though. 16:30 :)

[@Mothcat.]

I’ve gotten both lucky and very unlucky with DAs. I did a ton of DAs and didn’t find anything, until I got a shiny combusken. Then a few raids later, my beloved shiny Giritina named Volo.

[@Zilear]

I finally got my shiny Rayquaza last night after a gruesome 372 Dynamax Adventures (w/ shiny charm). I’m so happy!

[@OK0-]

Dude thank you so much for doing dynamax adventures I find them so fun to watch also lunala best shiny legend

[@spectralw4rden]

For Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, Idk if this ends up helping, but if you open the game up, and look at the outbreaks, don’t save. Just exit out of the game, then join back in.

Just a note. Having 4 separate or individual switches all doing DAs does not increase your odds to 1/25. Those are all still individual encounters that are completely isolated from one another. That would make multiple console a method hunt, which it is not. Hope this helps!
