I wholeheartedly agree, 75% of rental mon are pure garbage. Combine that with an AI sharp as watermelon and you get why Dynamax Raid are soo annoying

[@octopikmin3590]

I hunted shiny legendaries by myself because I had no friends. I can confirm that the AI in SwSh is abysmal. Definitely cost me many wins because AI stubid.

[@AsassinoSilenzioso]

@@octopikmin3590 I know for sure that if any mon have Acupressure, it's gonna spam that and NOTHING else. I made a list of mon that only human should play, so when I hunt alone I know to avoid them.

[@AllegedlyHuman]

​@@AsassinoSilenziosomight want to add Drifblim to that list. Recently had an AI trainer use one, and it consistently went for will-o-wisp. Target poisoned? Let's burn it! Target already burnt? Let's *extra* burn it! It legit kept it up non-stop until it ran out of PP. Pokemon with trick room and ingrain should NOT be left to the AI either

That’s offensive to watermelons

[@Ace360gamer]

I gotten the all the shiny legendarys in DA and one thing I’ve learned is to take the worst Pokémon so the AI can’t suck, sometimes it’s better to pick the path of least resistance vs the better Pokémon for the end, and wide guard is king. Also if u are playing solo turning off animations can save several minutes each run. Happy hunting

[@Guerreiro7578]

Contrats and thanks for the advice! I really don't know how did you get them all, althought the odds are great, the method is so annoying haha

[@Ace360gamer]

thank you 😊 took a while but it was fun. A lot of shinys along the way as well. Best thing is to do it on the side while you play/do something else. Luck plays a factor in many aspects outside shiny odds but there is a skill aspect to it that I enjoy once you learn the move sets and best routes since those aren’t random. Best of luck 😊

God, seeing this video rejuvinates me. I've been trying to find Shiny Giratina in 2023. But its painful since its hard finding teammates. But seeing fun YT content on it is motivating! Maybe I'll give it a go again, see if there's more I can do to keep hunting efficiently! EDIT: I've been casually hunting Giratina since October and finally got it a month later!

Causally doing only Latias raids during the pandemic, had no clue what the odds were to finally find a shiny latias on my 100th encounter then would find shiny Xurkitree 5 encounters later. The odds in this game are certainly something else

[@epilepticsquid8856]

​@@jasonmcbride637sorry to tell you this now, but whether a wormhole pokemon will be shiny is decided when you enter the wormhole, meaning soft resetting does nothing.

[@stevolenzing]

​@@epilepticsquid8856 That's wrong lol, that's only true for normal Pokemon, not the legendaries and ultrabeasts. I would know because I hunted almost all of them in their shiny forms and there are literally thousands of videos on KZbin of people softresetting for legendaries in USUM.

And what makes it worse, I was already tired from making the mistake of completing *Another* Pokedex, just a week prior to coming back to Sword.

[@dinosaurking4259]

@@SabeNo-rh7mb You did what now? Explain please.

[@wintry__mix]

Doing this for a while did teach me that the most doable solo DA (that I tried, at least) was Pheromosa, since it’s squishy enough to die pretty easily no matter what kind of horrible decisions your AIs make. It has a REALLY pretty shiny too, but sadly I’ve yet to get it :( (I’ve only gotten 5 total shinies from these, but tbf 3 of them were without the shiny charm)

[@subway-surfer-guy]

Kartana is insanely easy as well, 4x weakness to fire and lots and lots of fire types in the dens

[@Mimiyan_or_Pikapikafan]

I've done a hunt for Guzzlord what feels like Ages ago now in DAs, and it was rough. I had the Shiny Charm and got like 6 shinies i think before getting my glorious Cheeto covered Alien. Definitely would only recommend it for Ultra Beasts/Pokemon you can currently only hunt in it if you don't have a New model 3Ds to hunt them in USUM, because without that the reset times suck lmao, so at least you'd be doing something. Also I did a few DAs with my mom and managed to actually do 1 group DA ever irl. Regardless of the shiny odds or even if I got really lucky I wouldn't recommend it as a hunting method rather then a "do this with friends for a bit and see if you get something cool out of it". Basically the best way to do it

[@basilbrooke4449]

I love your videos :D Amazing to listen to while shiny hunting

[@CMH1213]

The bad thing is, this is the only way to get shiny zygarde!

[@badwithusernames3238]

6:20 spread moves don’t spread out the damage equally, they deal either regular damage when used against a single target and 75% damage when used against any more than one target Also when I beat zygarde I just skipped phase 2 by killing it before the end of the turn with triple axel hitmontop and a froslass

[@Drby_]

I am attempting Lunala right now, and with a 4x dark weakness, as long as I cultivate getting a dark move for myself, I can pretty reliably beat it. And goes much quicker than with people since animations are off. And even then, a lost den isn’t truly a loss because the other 3 mons could still be shiny

After getting ever Legendary from Max adventures, I found doing them by yourself was usually the way to go. Tapu lele was the shortest at 3 raids, then there was Latias at 345 encounters. Xerneas was a nightmare though in comparison though it only took 340. Zygarde also wasn’t too bad at 27.

[@pr1nc3y25]

Do you have any tips for doing them solo? I've been planning on doing the Max adventures for about a year but they've always seemed too inconsistent solo to hunt for legendaries.

@@pr1nc3y25 I've recently just started doing them solo again after all the old discords for this mode being long dead. The best tip I've found is to always select the worst Pokemon so your AI teammates can't.

[@Nebula4211]

Amazing video, but on the rng/difficulty side of the adventures; I only do da's solo, got like 500 hours in them. I usually get like a 80-90% winrate on moderate difficulty bosses and almost always win on easy ones like the tapus and ultra beasts, cant be bothered attempting zyguarde solo lmaoo. you can get very consistent with winning even with bad rng.

[@SethDyer]

Bro your comedic timing is impeccable

[@shakibrahamani4583]

I just want to say this...I have a bit more than half of all Dyna adventure pokemon and I've done all without real people (With the exclusion of joining certain peoples adventures to get exclusives) And might I say. Holy shit. My sanity is gone

[@_Banjo_]

i originally planned to shiny hunt here but that basically never happened. So ive returned to this game recently. This video was interesting to see it was still quite recent!

[@djjjjjd]

Obviously there are some exceptions like Zygarde and Kyogre, but most legendaries are easy enough to hunt for solo imo. The AI will repeat their picks exactly on each soft reset provided that your picks don't change, and with a couple resets you can optimise a consistent route if you think there are good enough picks overall in that route. Imo it's worth soft resetting and paying the ore tax if you find a good, consistent route, and playing solo with no animations saves sooo much time. And if you're hunting something in a rare ball then you might as well find a good route since you'll need to soft reset anyway if you want to keep that ball.

[@GalaxiaKnightX]

Ah yes. Dynamax Adventuring. I remember when I played through this for so long. Getting all of the legendaries in that game. Even the ones I could only get if I had Shield. It was fun but also struggling when you have to get that specific legendary pokemon. But it was worth it!

[@Simipourfangirl]

I did that too with suicuine and i still reget it. It's my favorite out of the legendary beasts. But i feel this. I went for tapu lele and she was a pain. Her sister tapu fini was nicer. I already had an event shiny tapu koko and i couldn't be bothered for tapu bulu

[@profisher8000]

I happened to get a Cryogonal with Levitate during the run-up to Zygarde and destroyed with 3 or 4 hits from Cryogonal. It was too hysterical 🤣

[@danielhambrook3669]

I remember grinding this as well as while back and might even come back to it soon. I think I've gotten roughly half of the shiny legendaries as well as lot of other shinies, including sometimes 2 or 3 of the same shiny pokemon. On one occasion I also got 2 shinies in the same run, Skunktank and Thunderus. I took the Thunderus

[@spreadelmo]

This gives me the motivation to hunt zygarde. Then i remember that its zygarde and you can barely get 1/4 runs complete even in a full squad

[@Zivin]

Shinies in this video from DA in order: Cofagrigas, Bellosom, Beartic, Mr. Mime, Lilligant, Glalie, Raichu, Wheezing (Galar Form), Perrserker, Rayquaza, Swampert, Doublade, Fraxure, Manetric. Total Shinies: 14 Regular Shinies: 13 Legendary Shinies: 1

[@Grahamster1999]

I've gotten some cool shinies off DA but it's just sad when comparing it to the hunting in USUM. I did a dual hunt on US and Shield and by the time I was almost to odds (1292/1365) I was only through (33/100) for DA even though I was clearing it consistently

[@Tsukasasfavouriteboyfriend]

We should have Tera raid adventures for the upcoming part 2 of the dlc so other legendaries can return and maybe special mythical events and making them shiny huntable (not even a word) for a limited time.

[@shogunender8752]

The only issue with shiny hunting scarlet and violet is the shiny locked bs now I’m playing bdsp and have to start sword dlc dynamax adventures to get shinies and I also want non shinies as well like Galarian birds both forms.

I played this a bunch when it was new. Only got one shiny, a Heliolisk. But i decided to boot it up the other day and I got a Ho-oh after only a few hours!

[@johnflapper]

Not too bad! I wasn't keeping track, but in an average amount of attempts, I've gotten 4 shinies, Piloswine, Charmeleon, Uxie, and Arourus (also a Regieleki in like 6 resets, and that's all 5 I've ever gotten in gen 8)

My shiny Zygarde came from my one and only solo run that was result of my internet cutting out momentarily. A true blessing in disguise. Initially I was bummed because the outage caused me to miss out on an Alolan Marowak. Since it ends the battle without the chance to catch. But, the end result more than made up for it.

The dunamax adventures, while being inefficient compared to SV in shiny hunting, is still relevant though because its one of the few places to shiny hunt legendaries effectively. 100 hours for a shiny legendary isnt as bad as a soft reseting for one roll in a 1/1300 odds. Ive seen players soft reset for some legendaries for months. Its even more relevant now because SV legendarues are all shiny locked. Including new dlc.

For whatever reason I went absolutely turbo nerd on some of these earlier this year. the stat drop immune (the ai does not understand it can't lower stats.....) and bulky mfs are absolute terror solo. but even some of the solo ones with the best mons you can get, can just get fkd by being frozen for 10+ turns LOL. psychics and the (maybe not xerneas?) Fairy's seem super easy, but fini do be a surfer.
