In crystal I found a shiny weedle so I evolved it into a beedrill and beat the elite four with it. Now beedrill is my favorite pokemon.
My first shiny was shiny Sandile, my all time favorite pokemon even before that. Which is why i shiny hunted it
In Heart gold i got a full odd encounter shiny dratini I was literally so shocked and scream so loud that my mom come in my room to tel em to shut up
Same thing happened to me but in X&Y
For same reason but lets go mine is pideot
Also it happened to me with my fav pokemon of all time Greninja
Everyone else: wow I have so many shinies! Me: *Why am I here, just to suffer*
Good one
Same i have like 2
This comment is so good, I want to give you a shiny

I remember my first shiny, It was shiny lanturn in emerald. We were at a christmas party with my friend and as I was running around the dive area before you got to the team aqua base I randomly got it. I was like "what is this, why is it a different color?" And I almost ran away but luckily my friend stopped me because he knew what a shiny was xD
You have such a good friend ngl
Mine was Tyranutar in a Max Battle- (Dunno if I spelt it right)
I did that to my brother
@@thesandguardianofthesand The "u" in "Tyranutar" should be an "i."

The first shiny that I successfully “hunted” (that is to say I was specifically looking for one) was in ultra moon using the ultra wormhole ride! It was a lombre and I named her salad :)
my first was a tentacool i chain fished

I remember WAYYYYY back in the day, before Gold and Silver came out in the US, a buddy of mine got a Japanese copy of Silver. It was surprisingly easy to follow. Anyway, red Gyrados blew our minds. We kept having to reset because we only had one pokeball and were so desperate to catch it. He was also the first person I knew to get all 150 on his red version with a little help from my blue version. Rumor was that Prof Oak would give you either a Mew or a "pikablu" (what we called Marill back then) for completing the pokedex.
Ahhhh pikablu I remember those times well 😂

Getting shinies that way just completes sucks the fun out of it and ruins the point. Getting a shiny is a Gamble and is very satisfying when you get one legitmately, I also have two btw. Just getting one by hacking isn't fun or satisfying, it's just flat out boring with no point.

I know I’m kinda late to the party, but through using item duplication on the Odd Egg, you can achieve multiple shiny babies. I was trying for a Magby but I got a shiny Cleffa, two Magbys after like 20 something eggs.
Slight correction: in Gen 3, Wishmaker Jirachi has a slightly higher than average shiny rate (can't remember the exact number, but it's somewhere around 7400 I think) due to some strange quirks. That said, the resets for that Jirachi are painfully slow (~2 minutes each even with the newer slightly inconsistent method using save corruption, and I think like 6-8 minutes with the basic method of restarting the save file and playing up until the point you get the Pokedex). So even with the slightly higher odds, it's definitely not an easy shiny lol.
people: what is the easiest method for shiny? sun and moon: yes
The ultra wormholes were overpowered
Actually it's ultra sun and ultra moon but still :)
I catched my first shinys back to back in a ultra wormhole. 2x audino. A few wormholes later a shiny heliolisk. Meanwhile i catched around 7 shinies in a wormhole ;p
Heartgold Soulsilver, Gold Silver: *yes*
Ultra wormholes and you get Pokémon to one health and they just keep spawning friends so easy 💯😭 so fun
How tough am I? I tried soft resetting to get Blue Gyarados at Lake Outrage in Gen 2
nobody remembers the guy who gave up
Dopple Ganger nice
that should be an feature
Mad Respect
When they make the HGSS Remakes in Gen 9 they are gonna make it so you can soft reset the Shiny Gyarados for a normal one, and when it enters battle it has a Shiny effect that is like the Square Shiny Effect, but a bit more like Gen 2's Shiny Effect.
Yesterday I got my first unintentional shiny. I was hunting for a normal Scraggy in white 2 and it has a 10% probability and I needed it for the pokedex. And instead I got a shiny Darumaka and still, I never found a Scraggy
I've got 4 shinys, I've shiny hunted Once... and I got no shinys when hunting
Have you found one yet?
This video is more than 2 years old, but I wanted to note that the Shiny Charm was introduced in B2W2, being absent in BW, so the Masuda Method would be the only way to boost the shiny odds in those games
Now we need “Hardest Shiny Pokemon In Every Game”
shiny deoxys
Shiny female Combee in DPP.
@@cupcakelovescak7886 are u sure it isnt shiny munchlax
@@Kit487 I would say that they are equal. Combees can be found in most of the trees but has a 87.5% chance to be a male. Munchlax has a much smaller chance at being found but, you don't need to worry about the the gender. Once you found the tree, just keep on trying until you get it. Combee on the other hand can be male and shiny. That means no evolution for you.
@Toasty Breadham and the fact you can’t even get shiny eternatus unless you ha k lmao so no that doesn’t count

13:50 What I understand is that, in ORAS, shininess becomes more common as the search level increases. It's an extremely small percentage that may be much better than the full shiny odds, but will take a really long time to be any more effective than that. Using a rather complicated custom algorithm, it decides whether the pokemon will be forced to be shiny, slightly adjusted for every hundred or so search levels. All bonuses may and will stack.
In Ultra Moon, I got a shiny mudbray while trying to get a female eevee. Never really expected that so I quickly tried to catch it and yes you've guessed it, I never used it.
One time I was playing an Emerald Emulator and I found a Full-Odds Shiny Poochyena. I screamed. The only problem was it was 11:00 in the evening.

I’m someone who thinks the red (shiny) gyarados should count as a shiny (because it is one) BUT I’m glad you went into the other easiest shinies to obtain because that was some really interesting information about getting shinies in gen 2 that I didn’t know! my first non-guaranteed shiny was a ralts that I hunted in my alpha sapphire game. I would love to one day encounter a shiny that I wasn’t actively hunting, though.
As far as I can remember, I think my 1st shiny (besides Red Gyarados) was Slugma (or Magcargo) on either Silver or Crystal Version. I think I ran across two within the same day.
Heh .... slugma nuts
"There is no method to increase (your chance of getting a gen 1 shiny)" *laughs in 8F*
Am I stupid? Explain 🤔
@@jawdonxtrahero6673 in gen 1 there is a somewhat conplex method of glitching an item called 8F into the game. With that item you can set up certain conditions (usually involving other items you have) to basically use it like a cheating device. You can use it to force certain pokemon (like mew) to spawn, change IVs (making any pokemon shiny), and even change pokemon/trainer IDs (which is the only way to put a glitched mew in the poke bank). I'm sure there is other stuff you can do with it.

I haven't gotten a single shiny in 10 years of playing pokemon. I'm living in Spain. But the S is silent. Edit: I finally got a shiny. It was a shiny Swanna. Through the ultra warp thing. UPDATE: I have about a dozen shiny pokemon on shield now. I grinded for the shiny charm, and now I've gotten a pretty good bit through Max raids.
If you have the expansion, the rates of getting Shiny are so much higher now. If you do the ledgdary Raids, you have a 1 in 25 after you have the shiny charm "...every time a player completes a Dynamax Adventure, and if they catch all four Pokémon, they have a 1 in 75 (1 in 25 with Shiny Charm) chance to encounter a Shiny Pokémon." If you catch all of the pokemon in the raid(which are a guaranteed catch if you can defeat them) your odds increase by a huge amount. It definitely takes some work to get there, but the payoff is worth it imo.

Yay! Air Bud! Go Team Sky! 😂💚
I remember my first shiny was in White 2. I saved before initiating the Azelph fight but kept killing it by trying to lower its hp and I kept resetting to catch it with low HP. Ended up finding a shiny one after a few attemps and I was so in shock because I never imagined encounter a shiny, let alone a legendary shiny. I didn’t even hesitate to use my Masterball. That Azelph is in my Pokemon home today :)

My first shiny was a shiny Zubat in the grass patch just below the guy that gives you a Miracle Seed on Route 32 after you beat Faulkner. It was stuck in those cartridges (I think Crystal) and eventually I gave up hope of being able to transfer it up and traded them in for other games. 5 years ago I was re-playing Heartgold and found another one in the patch of grass on Route 32 above the guy that gives you a miracle seed this time. I literally felt it was like he had come back to me after all these years. The Zubat line is some of my favourite shinies/Pokémon because of this story and I still have him, safe in home and I nicknamed him Dracool in honour of my buddy all those years ago.
The first time I encountered a shiny Pokémon was way back when I was playing Fire Red on my GameBoy Advance SP. It was a shiny Poliwhirl I found in Seaform Islands. Back then I didn't know what a shiny was and I was like a bit confused why that had a different color and a star mark. I just left the battle only to realise that what I had experienced was a very rare encounter. On my second playthrough of the game I had an encounter with a shiny Spearow while I was running in a patch of grass near Cerulean City. Now this time I knew this was a special occasion because the Spearow was golden in color. I managed to catch it and I evolved it into a Fearow which looked pretty good in gold kind of like the one Ash Ketchum had which was a Shiny Noctowl.
And then there’s me, randomly getting shiny Wingull in three different games and then a shiny Noivern in shield.
I have two shiny Typhlosions that I didn't even grind for. One was in Vietnamese Crystal and the other was in Randomized Emerald. I'm honestly not sure whether to be joyous or upset about them...
I once found a shiny geodude what used self destruct or explosion and a shiny wobbufet what fled in Safari zone...
My brother calls it the wingull curse. He get a shiny wingull in most every pokemon game he plays. He has one from ruby one from sword, one from diamond, and one from black I wish I was lying. I only have a shiny pikachu and a shiny charizard(2348 soft resets)

My first shiny was a Whismur I found without hope borrowing my older brother's copy of Alpha Sapphire. He traded it with my older sister's Omega Ruby when he deleted the file, and he has it in Pokémon home to this day.
I was playing omega ruby and randomly encountered a shiny whismur I used it to beat the league. The very next playthrough I found a shiny wurmple before the first gym. Haven't found a shiny since.

My first shiny was in Fire Red. I caught a shiny Oddish and I remember showing it to my cousin, who loved Pokemon but had no idea why my Oddish was a different color. The weird part? I distinctly remember it looking like a darker blue color, not the bright green Oddish shiny. So does my cousin, actually, but I also remember the shiny animation that it had when I encountered it, which is why I caught it in the first place. Odd.
My first shiny was Audino in Pokémon white with full odds. One day later I got shiny ratata in White 2, this happened last weeks. I haven’t believed in shinys on these games before since I haven’t ever seen one in my 500+ ingame hours… 5 days later I found myself soft resetting for a shiny Mudkip in Alpha Sapphire and getting it after 476 attempts. Never been as lucky as that week…
I remember my first shiny. I had first heard about shinies and wanted one so bad so I looked up how to get them. It was the calling for backup method in Pokémon Ultra Moon. I kept at it for a few hours. 9 year old me needed a shiny. Finally, a little buneary popped up with pink fluff. I had done it. I then got a hippopotas like a week later in the wormholes
Those are so cute! My first was a Lickitung and all I had was my level 90 Mewtwo and several level 10-15 pokemon I was training on Kalos Victory Road, I still caught it though!
My first was a eevee I randomly encountered trying to get large candies
My first was a mankey in leaf green
My first was a magikarp in firered that I got when I was 5 from the wild
My first shiny ever was a yanmega in ultra wormhole in ultra sun this moment may me like shiny yanmega more and regular yanmega
The only shiny I've ever found by chance was when I was playing on my best friends game. My first random shiny and it wasn't even my game. It was an Oddish. Edit: I finally got a shiny on my own game, random encounter Shiny Unown. Hilarious that it's a Pokemon I was obsessed with in middle school but I couldn't be happier.
The Gaming Panda Oddish was also my first! But I was like 8 and thought it was a glitched Pokemon (especially since I played the game in English while only knowing like 20 sentences in English) so I just reset my game when I was finished with it and lost it forever...
My only shiny was a pidgey in lets go right after I beat the elite 4
My first shiny was a Galvantula in pokemon Sword because my luck was gerbage until gen 8.
In all pokemon games I've played (including fanmade because that's where my shiny history starts ) my first shiny I encountered was a shiny torkoal in brick bronze ultimately failing to be caught because of my only two great balls. I've gsotten more but I'm waiting till I can get a new 3ds charger so i can find that bugger again.I know it swam from roria to alola.
I got an ultra wormhole shiny not knowing it was much, much more common
In case anyone was wondering: The new best Gen 8 shiny hunting method for specific Pokémon changed due to the Crown Tundra. The shiny odds of Pokémon encountered in the Dynamax Adventures is 1/300 or 1/100 with a shiny charm. This is only for the specific Pokémon found in the adventures, so not every Pokémon had its shiny odds increased, but it’s still a lot of them, and really easy shinies.
i found a shiny sentret by accident in Crystal during heading down to pallet town, and shiny sentret in gen 2 is one of my favourites now.
Mikey: “The Masada method is the best in sword and shield” *Crown Tundra is released* Dynamax Adventures: “Allow us to introduce ourselves”
true
Do the cute charm glitch in gen 4. You have about a 20% chance of all wild encounters to be shiny and all it takes is to correctly time when you start the game and finish the professor intro. Also you can get a guaranteed shiny starter if you follow a specific path on a trainer ID you reset for with the timing.
Allow us to give 1/100 chances (with shiny charm) for almost every single legendary and random mons
@@RuneSlums This comment was about sword and shield, and ONLY sword and shield. I am a shiny hunter. I am already well aware of the cute charm glitch, and knew of it well before Michael uploaded this video. You can enjoy cute charm if you wish, but I find it to be an incredibly boring shiny hunting method that makes the fun of the hunt non-existent. What is the point of shiny hunting if you find one 21.34% of the time? It is literally harder to find a pikachu in viridian forest than it is to find a shiny with the cute charm glitch. I’m not quite sure why you brought up a shiny hunting method from a game released in 2006 on a comment regarding a game from 2019, but if you enjoy exploiting the cute charm glitch for ridiculously easy shinies, more power to you. I’ll continue hunting using the intended methods though, if it’s all the same to you. My boxes and boxes of shinies from multiple generations are a testament to the fact that I do just fine without it.
@@spiritedaway0tutu Are Pikachus really that rare in Viridian Forest? I ask cause in Heartgold (and by extention Soulsilver) that's all I encountered there.

I remember seeing a shiny Zubat in gen 2, but I was a little kid and had no idea what that was, so I just shrugged my shoulders and ran from it, then the Igglybuff in Crystal, Magikarp (while looking for Feebas) and Poochy in gen 3, Cascoon early in game when I lent it to my friend, Ursaring in SoulSilver, Sawsbuck in Black, Corphish in X, Gligar in Y (and like a month ago, forgot what the friend safari even was, 2 encounters in, a shiny Bergmite) Skarmory from a tree in UltraSun, finally a legendary shiny Regieleki in 5 resets in Sword, Piloswine and Charmeleon from Dynamax, and now almost a full box in Scarlet
“It becomes shiny after you trade it to a different game” That means the shiny mew from a gameboy I received in a trade is legal
Not exactly
Whatever
Neat
Pretty sure that's a Virtual Console version Mew.
Shiny did not exist in Gen 1, Shiny Pokemon were determined by the IV spread. So basically a Pokemon could be Shiny in Gen 1 without you knowing about it. However any legal Mew from Gen 1 has a specific IV spread which makes it impossible for it to be Shiny. It's either glitched or hacked.
I love how there is a shiny ditto
If only the Pokémon a shiny ditto transformed into shinys
camanaterZ they were in gen 3 but they stopped doing that for some reason
Zarichard they should’ve kept the idea of a shiny ditto tranforming into the pokemon you have the shiny version of the pokemon you have
As a Dragon Quest player, I am probably going to confuse the Masuda method and the Masayuki map a lot. The Masuda method drastically increases the odds of getting a shiny Pokemon from an egg. The Masayuki map has a floor with all Metal King Slimes, a rare monster that gives a ton of experience points.
I caught a shiny hariyama on victory road in Pokémon emerald just encountered it randomly
I’m still annoyed I missed the shiny magikarp event in sword and shield ahh
Same but ig shiny gyarados is the easiest to get anyway
I don't have the game so me too?
Me too 😭
Lmao I don't even have a switch
I can trade one to you I caught multiple
Since the last aspitpiay I keep hearing “you’re eating swiggy pants” and it’s messing with me
Your beating swippy pants
It sounds completely different
paleoboy the demon Michael here
Same... same
Youre eating swiggy pants
This makes me appreciate the fact that all (but one) of my non guaranteed / event / traded shinies were obtained with full odds.
My first shiny was a Vibrava I found just running around near the volcano area in White 2. Was on my team for the rest of the playthrough. My second shiny was a Noibat that randomly approached me in my playthrough of X while in a cave. I’ve never had a random shiny since, I’ve had to hunt for all of them.
Edit: turns out i fucked up and this isnt true Well actually, due to a programming quirk, the shiny red gyrados in heartgold and soulsilver isnt a guarenteed shiny, they actually just flipped the odds, which means that yes, you could enter an encounter with that gyrados, and theres a chance it will be blue aka normal.
I can just imagine someone wanting to hunt a normal colored Lake of Rage Gyarados.
@The Vetoxican Make sure to upload the video onto KZhead if you do achieve it then.
actually, someone Got it
AbondedNajs 666 is there a video of this?
theFairyDongMother Hey, I looked this up, and it doesn’t seem to have any truth behind it. Can you show me one reputable source that confirms thi?
I hatched a shiny Pichu from the odd egg once. I wanted a Tyrogue but I accidentally saved before getting the Pichu, so I had, and still have, the Pichu to this day
I found a random shiny Eevee in my box when playing Sword. It says that I am the original trainer but I still have no idea how I caught it without realizing it was a shiny. It was the only Eevee I had too so I only caught it to fill in the Pokedex lmao
Cute charm in gen 4 is insane. I have 3 copies that have it activated and it def messes with your dopamine levels.
Everyone: have you found any shiny pokemon? Me, who has only found shinies in pokemon go: Well yes, but actually no.
I believe pokemon home will be able to transfer pokemon from pokemon go to sword and shield Well, whenever they add support lol
Code Master Of Disaster a bit late but yup this is correct! I traded a shiny Rhyhorn from the community day that I have used during my play through of Shield 😄 Now I just need to meet up with my friend to finally get my shiny Rhyperior lol
Easy you say? Im literally listening to the guy that got a shiny reshiram on his *first* encounter.
Except in B/W shiny encounters with Zekrom and Reshiram were programmed to be impossible
Yea
@@stevenkahn2616 wormholes baby
@@stevenkahn2616 He did it in Ultra
Steven Kahn He didn’t do it in B/W he did it in Ultra Sun/Moon
my first ever shiny in a man series game was a full odds shiny golbat in pokemon lets go eevee in cerulean cave, BUT IT WOULDNT STAY IN THE BALL AND IT RAN AWAY(though a few hours later i found a shiny bellsprout so its all good)
I remember my first shiny being a full odds dracovish in shield, didn’t really understand what shinys were then but quickly grew fond of dracovish because of it
It's amazing how broken SwSh is.. I disconnected my switch from the internet in the middle of the magikarp event so my game thinks the event is still going on.. Infinite shiny magikarps here I come xD
Is that still working?
@@ericdublinski3206 if you have an event active in your game and disconnect from the internet you can keep the event for as long as you want. But as soon as you connect to the internet again it will automatically update the wild area to the most recent event. I don't have the event anymore, I felt like I had enough shiny magikarps so decided to update my wild area
That's also worth knowing if you want to get rid of an event. :)
IMTG would you be willing to trade me one?
Don't let them know
Me: breathes Michael: well actually
My first non-guaranteed shiny was in X/Y in the Friend Safari. The first Shiny I got that wasn't boosted was Magikarp in Sword/Shield. And, no, it wasn't a raid battle, it was just a normal fishing battle.
My first shiny was a sentret in FRLG that I caught after I had already completed everything I wanted to in the game. That shiny did not last long. My oldest brother though, he told me about how he caught a shiny manectric (my favorite pokemon) on the route across the sea next to Mauville. I was so jealous, I started shiny hunting Electrike on my emerald save but being, idk, 12 using an emulator, I eventually gave up and just cheated one in for that cool sparkle. I did feel guilty since I didn't earn them, but shiny Electrike and Manectric are two of my favorites to this day.
I remember when I was younger I got a shiny totodile as my starter in heartgold and played through the whole game without even realising just thinking it was cool then I restarted it I've only ever got two shinies in my whole life and that was one of them.....
Only got one non-guaranteed. Weezing resisted my quickball and proceeded to use explosion.
I found a shiny snorlax in shield, but I didn't have the right gym badge to catch it, I was forced to kill it
I'm going to stop complaining about not having any shinys...
F
Me as a dumb 10 year old surfed right into a shiny tentacool in Pokemon Silver, didn't realize until later that it was a shiny. And because I already had a tentacool by then did no proceed to catch it. It's been the only shiny I ever ran into and still sour about it. Been playing, pretty much all the main series games up to X and Y, and have yet to encounter a shiny again.
During my adventure in Shield, the first Rollicolly I battled was shiny and I caught it and became part of the team for the rest of the game
One of the first oddishes that my sister encountered in let’s go pikachu was shiny, fitting since my first shiny was a gloom
GG
Ok, but did anyone ask tbh?
my first shiny was a caterpie-
My first shiny was Shinx in pokemon brick bronze Miss that game
Thanks for the information about ultra sun and moon, I’ve played the games for so long and never knew
first shiny i ever got, red gyarados aside, was a shiny sudowoodo in the same game actually, crystal. woke it up, saw a different color, thankfully i knew that shinies were a thing so caught it. still remember it to this day. besides those two i only got 2 others, a random shiny pooch in emerald on my cousins file when very young and years later, just quite recently, a random shiny zubat in alpha sapphire while grinding a few levels.
""breeding anything with a Ditto didn't exist yet" Yes it did?
In gen 2 ditto wasn't as good for breeding as it is now. It got buffed in later games
the gen2 games ditto breeding wasnt as effective so what Michael said was true
@@Jay-mt6nu what made it less effective?

I bragged about my "shiny Gyarados I just got!" to my brother. He believed.
Same dude
You bragged about me? Thanks!
@@sparky6512 Gyarados, you son of a Miltank. I haven't seen you in ages! How've you been, my dude?

I remember my very first Shiny on my first Platinum Playthrough, originally this certain Pokemon I didn't plan on having it in my Platinum team until I encounter my very first Shiny Pokemon which I thought I wouldn't ever encounter... And this was Gible, I was so shocked of encountering a real Shiny Pokemon so I have to catch it and keep him to my party, even though Shiny Gible's final Evoultion Garchomp shiny color looks similar to a regular Garchomp. But I didn't care and he had become a powerhouse of my Platinum Team.
I’ve only found a couple full odd shinies; my two main ones are my ones from Sun: a Pikipek named Petree that is now a Toucannon and a Gumshoos named Chief that was called in by a yungoos as an SOS call; both were 1 in 4096
When you name your shiny ditto to Mewtwo then transform to a Mewtwo to say you caught a shiny Mewtwo: *oh yeah it's big brain time*
I remember getting a shiny Magby from the odd egg in Crystal. I was so proud of that lil guy... so disappointed my cartridge got so old and overused that the file corrupted 😢
I feel ya
I'll evolve my shiny maby so you can have memories of your old shiny magby.
While playing Ultra Sun version, I encountered a shiny pikipek with an adamant nature, I couldn't be more happier it carried me the whole game.
Me: easy shines! Yay Mike: event is over Me: dam it
I remember playing Omega Ruby and just wanting to complete all the legendaries. Suddenly, a shiny Landorus appeared on my first encounter and I wasn’t even trying to catch shinies. Since then, Landorus and Milotic (I managed to get a shiny feebas at the 11th SOS call in Ultra Sun too) are my favorite shiny pokemon.
Fun fact: the second encounter I ever had playing Silver as a child was a shiny hoothoot. Didn't have PokeBalls, and had no idea what the sparkles where until way, way later lol
My ultimate best shiny story was when i was playing shield back in January of 2020 and wanted to breed some Pokemon for online battling and the first pokemon i wanted to get was Alcremie. Before i got the shiny charm or even tried the Masuda method, the literal first egg that i have hatched in the entire save file off the game was a shiny Milcery and i was ecstatic about it all day
i got fricken 7 shiny magikarps then my friend told me about the event so yeah i thought i got 7 shinies by sheer luck
