[@AznJsn82091]

I don't have the game. But I'm still watching this video because I love Pokémon.

[@Dr.Meme-Man]

All I'm gonna say is that I hope Verlisify doesn't trash talk this video also.

[@pinboy13]

Hey JWittz. Apparently just letting overworld pokemon despawn by themselves doesnt actually despawn them. They will just pop back up later, not shiny, because they are the same pokemon. In order to despawn them and get fresh spawns, you need to either run away from each of the pokemon or leave the route and come back. Otherwise your odds go way down because the actual number of pokemon you are encountering is much smaller than if you force the pokemon to despawn or refresh the route by leaving

[@Cyredge]

One quite interesting thing you forgot to mention, is the possibility to actually build up a combo by encountering a bunch of the same Pokémon in the GO Park. Wich can help a lot with some of the rare spawns. :)

[@Mimikyu_Lov3r]

TheJWittz Did you seriously use a Masterball on a shiny? 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@Jack-496]

To be clear: there have been MASIVE updates on how Shiny Hunting Works in this game. Shiny hunting catch combos only raise you chances of a shiny Pokémon for the next spawn, and that’s it. You can keep catching though, and each spawn from that point on will have those odds.

[@Creepooba]

Insanely important note that was missed for 3.2 when it comes to Pokemon fleeing. All of the Pokemon in the game have multiple animations while trying to catch them, and a large number of them have a special animation that indicates when they are about to run. The easiest way to tell this is when a Pokemon's cry plays, and an animation goes off, but the circle for catching a Pokemon does NOT disappear. Certain Pokemon like Horsea do NOT have a special animation, but the circle does stay. If a Pokemon does this special animation, or the circle stays while it looks like they attack, RUN IMMEDIATELY to be as safe as possible. You will have roughly 5-10 seconds before a Pokemon that does this animation flees. A simple way to check the animation for each Pokemon is to open the Pokedex and play the Pokemon's animations, and look for the one that isn't the attacking animation (besides the select few that have their attack animation overlap with their flee animation). Good luck, and happy hunting!

[@michaelmarroquin2619]

This whole time I thought that was some kind of bug hahaha thanks for that info

[@Mae_is_gae]

I am so glad I saw this before chaining chansey, thanks so much for the info. That's super important info, and I got both a shiny chansey and lickitung with this chain. Thanks!

[@chansigma834]

Yeah, as soon as you see it's about to flee, don't even bother scrolling through the action menu, just press *B* to instantly pull up the "Do you wanna flee?" window. Much easier to quickly get off, since seeing that your combo is about to break can make it hard to not accidentally hit the wrong button on the little side menu.

[@StaySoju]

If you run away is the shiny gonna respond instantly?

[@RipperRaidenX]

Late,but also when the circle slows down.

[@beatziegraham6928]

You know the NPC that gives you a Charmander at route 24? He gave me a free shiny Charmander. It is not always shiny. I got SO lucky!

[@TheJWittz]

Yup! Static encounter shinies are pretty crazy in this game. I wouldn't recommend hunting for the non-legendaries, but getting a shiny without even trying for one is awesome!

[@beatziegraham6928]

@@TheJWittz it was crazy. I got it on the day after I bought the game but didn't check it's stats or anything because I already had a Charizard from Pokemon go. I beat the game and then some without even knowing it was a shiny. I only found out by checking the pokedex to see what I do and don't have. I also ran across a shiny clefairy in Mount moon on the same day. No lures, catch combos, or the shiny charm. Shiny odds are crazy. Lol.

[@gecototodile]

Congrats! Hope you have more shiny luck in the future ^_^

[@beatziegraham6928]

@@gecototodile thanks. I was chaining over 100 Pikachu to find a shiny metapod yesterday. Caught it and it's in the daycare for now.

[@VartixGaming]

The crazy things I have had in this game is while comboing for a shiny Ponyta a Doduo appeared right infront of my face and ran straight into me and it was shiny, talk about freebie! the second things was I entered bike road with NO combo, NO lure, no nothing and I hear the sound of Zapdos and there he was, a wild Zapdos flying in the sky at the top of Bike road. that was pretty insane to me

[@plushytv5295]

You guys are sad

[@RejectedSpiritX]

Plushy TV says the stupid idiot trying to bash those “sad people” because he has nothing better to do

[@TheJWittz]

I've seen a few people point this out, but the probability odds are SLIGHTLY different than pure fractions, like I list on this video. The real formula for probability is "(1-(4095/4096)^[how many rng rolls you have])". Your end result on these formulas will be very similar to ([how many rng rolls you have/4096]), but the exact math formula accounts for the fact that you can't pull 2 shinies out of 1 spawn.

[@BlackDragongrc]

Trading in the game isn’t the only way to obtain normal alolan Raichu. You can also send over alolan Raichu from Pokémon GO. However they won’t be shiny.

[@aaww1010]

TheJWittz One thing you should know how you can tell if they are about to run they awasy they do a special animation before they run At least a couple seconds after the animation

[@aaww1010]

TheJWittz And standing in one place is a bad idea because it takes longer for the games memory to refresh the Pokémon because the game stores for a while what Pokémon were in the area and takes a while to refresh

Shiny pokemon hunting in the main games has always felt like a nightmare to me. Just... grueling and not fun. But shiny hunting in Let's Go? with them in the overworld and catch comboing? IT IS FUN TO SHINY HUNT!!! This is amazing.

[@joeyshine80]

So I finally caved and bought Let's Go. I am having a blast by not using my Eevee, mainly catching only new ded entries etc. Its the 1st main series game I've played since Ruby and Sapphire and then I skipped to Sun and Moon (which was a blur). Anyway, for no real reason besides watching KZbin videos. I got stuck shiny hunting Vulpix on Route 6 before even completing the S.S Anne. After a few hours of hunting off and on, I set down my switch in sleep mode. I came back after an hour, opened it up. And there she was. A golden Vulpix. My 1st shiny in any main series game. Thanks to you and Adrives video's for keeping the faith of the odds!

[@ricardoddcda3767]

According to Serebii you are wrong Josh, if you don't encounter a Pokemon or change rout the Pokemons get saved in the RAM memory and that is why you spend so much time. Standing still with a lur in the same spot will only make the same Pokemon re spawn again and again making shiny hunting not as fast as it should be. At least this is what I understand. Sorry for the negativity in the comment. This video is very helpful and correct for the most of it. Just that minor correction. I love your content since you were single man and when I got into Pokemon again in X and Y (I hadn't play since Yellow version) you and your videos were the ones that helped me understand how to play when I had no idea what I was doing. So I just want to make sure you have the correct information for you and for us. Thanks for uploading again and great work as always.

Yeah, not very related to the topic, but being a *competitive Pokémon player,* breeding and EV training new competitive Pokémon has always an "exciting but boring" experience for me and so, whenever I'm doing it, I do it while watching videos/streams (I remember doing this a lot while watching JWittz shiny hunt in Pokémon Ultra Sun/Moon) and it has made competitive training much more fun and bareable IMO! :D

[@abadonian7242]

Your math is off in section 1, you just summed probability, where as you're supposed to calculate the inverse probability (the odds of not finding a shiny) then multiply that by itself 15 times (for the optimal calculation). This leaves you with an actual probability of 0.00365585743, 0.365% instead of the 0.366% that you had (1/273.5336 vs 1/273.06) which is such a small difference that I'm being ornery just bringing it up. Technically, you are including the chance that you might catch two shiny pokemon in one catch, which obviously shouldn't be included.

The second was an accident, spawning a Chansey shiny after 20 catches and lure boost. i was actually just grinding for XP. I only cared to hunt ONE SPECIFIC shiny and that was my beloved Ninetales shiny. dont really care for others besides arbok and ponyta because they're nice colors. most of the time i just want that 4-5 IV. and when i was told about running before they did to save the combo i was super into the game again after being bummed out on broken chains.

That isn't how math works when talking about odds and rolls. 15 rolls at 1 in 4096 odds is still 1 in 4096, you just get 14 extra tries. You can't really say it's 1 in 273. You're rolling 15 dice that have 4096 sides, not one die with 273 sides.

[@laurelandthepencil8177]

Adding onto the catch combo run away loophole- many Pokémon also have an animation that they have before they run away. You can check this animation in your Pokédex in the display animations part, and I believe it is the second animation. If they display the animation, they will either run away next turn or the same turn, so as soon as you see this animation, run away. It is extremely useful and has saved me many times from breaking my catch combo.

Well I am not JWittz but I speak/understand Spanish and he explain how he got the "shiny" Eevee. When you watch the video carefully you can see that his Eevee hasn't a shiny indicator (the star in the menu or team view). With the help of some other guy he managed to manipulate the game data to change the color of his Eevee. It's more like a reskin. He just choose the shiny color for his shiny hunting series. So he could even change the color to pink/green/black.

Speaking on RNG... I wanted to say that, having been playing since RBY was released, I have never encountered a legitimate wild shiny. This includes the Red Gyarados in the Lake of Rage. I'd gone away for a weekend and my little sister played, killed it, and then saved my game without really knowing what was happening. The ONLY shiny I have ever encountered in the wild was during a setup for a stream while testing a ROM hack to make sure everything was working properly. It was a Shiny Pidgey... during the segment where you can't catch anything! I believe I am living as close to living in the shiny-less universe as one can be... In over 20 years I've encountered only one, and it was uncatchable.

Watching this while on hour 10 of hunting shiny nidoran-male. Sadly know no-one with let's go pikachu so I can't fill my pokedex. I loved the video!!

Ayy! I've been waiting for this. You hyped it up on Twitter a lot and it didn't disappoint. Shinies are so pretty in this game.

9:50 Ey info! Every Pokemon has 2 - 3 animations. If you see the normal one everything is fine you can keep trowing but if it does the secound animation instantly flee or if it's the shiny trow the last ball and hope.

Literally watching this while trying to hunt Bulbasaur. I got my shiny charm last night before going to work, so starting shiny hunting now.

I got a shiny gastly after I broke my combo and went down one level..was setting up a combo of caterpillar and I go a shiny weedle...😑 , hunt for vulpix and got shiny jigglipuff and fail the second one, got 2 dodrios hunting for ponyta, pigyoto and a golbat On 2 ditto combo...haven’t gotten what I wanted except for gastly and that was random 🤣, oh and I got a shiny chancey as my first shiny of the game while hunting for vulpix, I keep watching bids like this to see if there was mire information about this, you are by far one of my favorite poketubers 😁, it does help having a video like this rather than all the drama that has been going on in the Pokémon community 😓
