Today, I tell the story of a shiny hunt I did last summer for a shiny Kyurem! It's a long one, so grab a drink and enjoy!
As you may have noticed, I finally got a capture card! Wasn't cheap but definitely worth it so hopefully you guys have noticed a quality increase in both the audio and visuals compared to my Nihilego video lol. The only issue with it is the bottom screen capture is a little janky so what's why you won't see any bottom screen recordings in this video.
As I promised, I'll also leave a link to the full vod of the shiny hunt right here if you want to check it out! (Just a content warning, there is use of strong language within the video.)

Thank you so much for stopping by and I really hope you enjoy the video! Sorry if it's a little long, this is just a very special shiny to me but hopefully it’s still entertaining regardless. Thank you for all of your support and have a nice day!
Uhhhh...hello people who aren't my immediate friend group lol. Didn't expect this to get this much attention (I had 21 subs when I uploaded this)...I just wanted to say thank you so much for watching and I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Stayed tuned for other stuff I may upload in the coming months whether they be shiny hunts or not idk yet. Just be patient though lol. Appreciate it guys! Twitter: twitter.com/anthmags72
You're very good at this 👍
Man this video blew up! Congratulations!
Great video! Very well made, underrated!
Whoever Forced you to make this Got ya an A+ for The Effort dude, But Personally to me If I do any SR for Legendarys anymore My limits 2 consoles. Though I still Remember being Starstruck when I Found My First SR shiny ono one console in saphire: Rayquaza. I Never Looked It up back then to see what It looked like or Even if Shinys Did Exist After Gen 2s Red Gyrados I remember Saving the game on the way to the Pokemon center Like 15 times
You made all this recording and editing for what you assumed to be only your immediate friend group to watch? Lol
The great thing about shiny kyurem is that when you fuse it with the box legandaries, the combo is shiny.
If I didn't know it was impossible, I'd have thought it would be cool if it depended on the one you fused it with. So like, if you fused a Shiny Kyurem with a regular Reshiram/Zekrom, Kyurem itself would have the Shiny colours but the Reshiram/Zekrom parts would be normal, and vice versa.
Now I'm wondering if a White Kyurem would be shiny if Reshiram was the shiny one.
I imagine just for technical ease it would only be 'Shiny' if Kyurem itself was Shiny, and the Reshiram Shiny would be an alternate form with a different coloured aura.
@@catscanhavelittleasalami i am pretty sure it isnt. Its in the same boat as shiny necrozma. The base has to be shiny and it doesnt have to do with the pokemon fused.
When I fused them in the newer generation 8 Sword and Sheild games for the Switch, I didnt matter if Reshiram/Zekrom was shiny or just their normal color, so long as Kyreum individually was shiny, the Black or white fusion would be shiny regardless if Reshiram and Zekrom were not shiny at all.
The fact that this video was recommended to me the same day I reclaimed my OWN shiny kyurem in black at full odds as well. Damn, kinda cathartic thank you.
Glad you enjoyed, congrats on the shiny!
Ayo do I have to wait for the Game freak logo to play out or can I spam through it? I've been at this for 3 weeks and I'm beginning to think I'm doing something wrong
@@gasfortheflames8672it’s been 4 months now did you get it?
@@gasfortheflames8672u r not messing up anythings odds are heavily against u, did u find It?
Your phone is listening and knows I'd all 😂 grats tho
No cap when I first played white I didn't know Kyurem existed at the time and just found it by accident by exploring the postgame. I battled it and catched it. 2 Weeks later I found out by seeing the normal yellow form at my friends ds that I had a shiny one and freaked out😂😂 wildest moment in my career playing pokemon
wait u mean white version 1?

@@christiansollner440 damn i honestly had no idea i thought i completely completed the game
INSANE!!!!!!!
@@chrisplayz9739lmao r u 12???? 😂😂😂😂😂
you've definitely been picked up by the algorithm, and it's good to see smaller pokemon channels get the views they deserve!
I’m just glad that people are able to appreciate my work!
as mr beast said its not what the algorithm wants its what the AUDIENCE wants
When you kept showing the clip of a shiny kyurem fainting, I thought you were foreshadowing a fail, and the finale with you trying to catch it had me on edge. As a fellow masochi- I mean… shiny hunter, I congratulate you for your catch, and your content. You’ll go places with this kind of content. Can’t wait to see future videos!
Thank you so much!! This video would definitely had a different energy if I failed it lol.
Same.
the fact you made this for 21 subs makes this even more special, as it captures character unlike other youtubers now and just reminds me of my friend which I love so thank you for sure a great video
I made this for my friends initially and now this happened lol
Congratulations! I went on this hunt myself about 5 years ago. There's a really old video of a Japanese KZheadr catching shiny Kyurem shortly after the game launched in 2010 over there. The uploader got bullied hard by dislikes and nasty comments from people who assumed Kyurem was locked, which I always felt bad about. So I decided to go for it in late summer 2017 and prove to myself it was possible (it's also a sick shiny, as you said). I wouldn't get it until early summer 2018, not quite a full year. It was a pretty casual hunt; I only used one copy of the game, also Black at full odds. Most of my resets were made while rewatching favorite let's plays, sitting on the toilet, or waiting to fall asleep, as it's pretty tedious work I found it made me drowsy. I dislike counting resets but I'm very confident I was way over odds, easily 20k+ as a conservative estimate after charting the time I spent watching videos while hunting. Before this I had been pounding SOS chaining in Moon pretty hard, so going for an old, full-odds hunt like this was very jarring after how borderline free SOS can be. Still, for the cool design and all the effort I put into it, it's easily my second favorite shiny! The whole experience was very memorable and now very nostalgic for me, so thanks for sharing yours and for letting me relive mine!
No problem! What an awesome story to hear!
What’s your first favorite shiny?
@@ConnorKrohnicles Greninja. I think I mentioned it in the video.
@@ConnorKrohnicles A female Charizard I "accidentally" soft-reset for in SoulSilver. I was SRing the Oak postgame gift to just get any female Charmander to breed with. I went though about 30 males without even checking them, and when I finally got a girl she was shiny! It's nuts to think that that exact Charmander could have generated shiny but male and I would have reset right over it without ever knowing. My most serendipitous shiny and rarest if you factor in the 1/8 gender.
@@ConnorKrohnicles A Shiny Female Eevee in Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu
Why is his sub count 30? This guy deserves more than he has and he deserves to be recognized with this dedication
Thank you so much for your kind words! This took me a while to make so I’m just grateful that people are able to watch it!
Agree
Agree, your reaction is also hilarious
@@sojuiceeexists thanks lol I was glad I finally got one of my shiny reactions on camera
30 to 500 in a day that is just purely incredible
Harvest/Leppa Berry/Skill Swap/Bestow to avoid Struggle is a genius move
Figured out that one years ago.
Kyurem was my first legendary 1/8192 hunt I completed, I share your opinion of its gorgeous-ness! I always thought it was funny that you could battle Ghetsis’s White Kyurem without it being shiny in W2 and then turn around a little bit later and shiny hunt it. Love that thing to death!
That's awesome, congrats on the shiny! Kyurem is such a cool Pokémon so I love its shiny!
I thought i knew every shiny pokemon available in this generation. After the countless weeks/months a group of friends and i spent, to make an almost complete shiny living dex. Kyurem was overlooked. Now we gotta do this one as well.
Very nice editing, explanations, and presentation for such a small channel, I didn't expect to be so engrossed in a shiny hunt. This vid reminds me of AboslBlogsPokémon's videos, though more high energy. Subbed.
Thank you so much for your support and kind words! I’m glad you enjoyed!
I love how this was more about the journey than just the reaction. Really reminds me of like an AbsolBlogs vid with how wholesome, humorous, and well made it is. Super enjoyable, hope to see more!
Congrats on the shiny Kyurem!! I get that feeling of shock when it comes to the odds being weird, getting my shiny roamer Entei in just 87 esets after leaving the hunt alone for a few months, or with me getting a shiny reshi in only 3 resets (this one was before I started posting about my gaming stuff so no video). It feels crazy when that kinda stuff happens and that's the fun of the hunt.
The feeling is unreal. Congrats on your shinies!
Just the whole video alone brought back hundreds of memories for me & I'm glad to see that this generation of games are still getting love
I can't believe how good these sprites look all these years. Congrats on achieving this feat!
My sincerest respect goes to you. The amount of dedication is INSANE. Plus, Gen 5 is my favorite gen as well. My TOP favorite game is Black 2
Awesome same here!
I really enjoyed that you just sped through all your encounters like that instead of just showing the 3 resets before it happened. Felt more real than I'm used to seeing
One of the few 1/8192 shiny reactions that fits the hunt. Seriously, I’m so sick of these other KZheadrs going 25k+ resets for a shiny legendary and then when it happens they’re just like “omg shiny”. Like NO, get some EMOTION in that reaction.
What? Are you just saying that you want people to fake reactions? Like I have no clue what you’re talking about
idk i'd feel pretty empty at 25k resets man
so you want people to fake a reaction because you don’t like that they’re likely tired?
so you want people to fake a reaction because you don’t like that they’re likely tired?
@@bryce7289Yeah I'd probably feel dead at 3x over odds too
You earned it, especially after showing how dedicated you are to capturing a shiny Pokemon you love. Shiny Kyurem does look very pretty, for sure. What a journey that must've been. I'm sorry you didn't capture it on your birthday trip, but regardless, it will still hold a lot of meaning. Fantastic job! :)
Hey thank you very much!! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Kyurem has a surprisingly good Shiny. It was actually the first Legendary I hunted for myself, specifically in Omega Ruby.
Oh that's cool!
Yeah ORAS is good for it in general. especially since you can get basically everything up till that point between the gen 6 games. I don't see a reason to do it in gen 5 unless you don't want to transfer up.
I surprised myself looking at the entire video. Shiny hunting isn’t really my thing, even if the few times I did it were fun, but it’s so cool to see a passionate show how much he likes his passion! As other comments said, I thought you were a big KZheadr, and only looked at the rest of your channel after seeing those. Great quality content, you deserve the support that you’re getting for this video and your hard work, glad you got your shiny!
Thank you very much for you kind words and support!
This was quite the ride. I found myself being genuinely happy for you and getting excited when you caught it. Extremely good editing. I'm inspired to do my own hunt now.
Thank you so much and I’m so glad the video really resonated with you! Good luck with the hunt if you end up doing it!
I did get some major goosebumps watching that intro, I rarely get such a reaction out of games I play or watch. Probably because it felt like the most ambitious pokemon game and happens to be my favorite of the series. Other thing that gives me goosebumps is the part where you summon Reshiram in Black 1.
Currently on the prowl for shiny cobalion so the amount of happiness from videos shiny hunting on generation 5 is quite motivating. Wish me luck and see you guys at the hypertext of the universe
Good luck!
The algorithm has blessed you. This is an amazing video and I am glad to see small Pokétubers putting this much effort into their work!
this is so great! love the little kyurem shrine you made, and the overall video was so great! the editing and pacing were just perfect and kept me engaged throughout, great job :)
Thank you so much!! Glad to hear your feedback!
I love these type of shiny hunting videos that really show off the whole journey! Each shiny has its own story after all.
It’s wild you only had twenty something subs at upload, congrats man. This is the content the internet wants and the work was just as much for you as us so 10/10
Thank you so much for your kindness! I really appreciate it!
I'm so glad the algorithm brought you to all of us! What a fun journey. Looking forward to future videos!
Congrats! It’s always nice to see someone’s hard work pay off and reach so many people!
Thank you so much!
This guy is like a fusion of Alpharad and Pointcrow but with an extra pinch of Zest, also I respect the CandieEvie pin
I did this hunt a few years ago, and it took me over 10k resets, and I only had one console. You were much luckier than me lol. Congratulations!
Yeah I’m grateful I got it that quick. Congrats on yours too!
I was genuinely squealing all throughout this video. Kyurem is not only one of my favourite shinies, but my favourite Pokemon ever. I just found so much to love about it and I honestly never see enough recognition of it despite being legendary with incredible lore, shiny and design. Hearing that someone also loves this pokemon as much as I did made my heart soar, I never hear much praise for kyurem so every compliment thrown by you genuinely made me so happy and I was on the edge of my seat watching the journey to get the shiny. and the video quality is great too, the commentary and editing is top notch and so entertaining that it earned a sub from me, and while I don't normally comment on videos at all I had to express my thoughts this time. congratulations on the phenomenal shiny hunt at full odds as well and I'm so jealous of the set up btw my god. definitely going to tune into more videos and streams from you in the future. thank you for this video and the love towards my beloved ice dragon kyurem
Thank you so much for your kind words and support on the video!
I love gen 5 white kyurem's sprite so much, makes me want to replay white 2 again
On this shiny hunting wave man! This content and YOU are amazing! Gonna be following the hunts for sure, my man =)
you deserve thousands of subs, holy good edits. In the 2 days since you posted this, you have gained basically all of your subscribers. If you continue to make pokemon content roughly at this level, I can see you being very successful. Hope you the best!
Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words!
Love your reaction! Really funny and entertaining video, glad I was recommended it. Hopefully your future hunts are just as fast as this one.
I’m surprised I never got recommended your videos sooner. You’re entertaining, and not annoying or obnoxious like some other KZheadrs. You’ve gained my sub.
This is a real shiny hunt! Loved the video. Not any make-a-sandwich get 50 shinys in 30 minutes.
Thank you! I totally get what you're saying!
amazing video, commentary and the vibe is immaculate. u deserve so much more recognition! keep it up :)
Thank you so much!
This is inspireing me to do a shiny hunt that I started but never finished. I'm happy you got your Shiny Kyurem. It looks sick!!!!
Glad the algorithm brought me here! Watching you find your shiny dragon brings back good memories from the hunt I did for him back in 2013, and I happened to be hunting a second one on Sword when this video popped up! Anyway big congrats, I'll definitely have to stick around for future videos.
the editing alone tells me that youtube finally got the algorithm right for your channel. if you've been producing stuff even remotely near this level of production you always deserved way, way more than 21 subs! the commentary is fantastic too. only ten minutes through this vid and this is top notch stuff man. hope you continue to blow up, you deserve it!
Thank you so much for your kindness! I really appreciate your support!
Really entertaining video and huge congrats on the shiny. I personally found the loud equals funny edits to be a little too frequently but overall enjoyed watching the journey, the catch was intense.
Thank you so much for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed!
I love your humor 😂 I love finding content like this for Pokémon, hope to see you upload more in the future and I’ll be checking out your other stuff here soon
I've been seeing a lot of underrated poketubers getting some algorithm attention lately and its GREAT!, grats on the shiny!
Wow, you put so much dedication and work towards this! The pokemon is so beautiful and I totally relate with how you feel. You deserve many more subscribers and views and I hope this video gets the attention it deserves!
Oh my God thank you so much!
Fellow Victini enjoyer, loved the video, grats on the shiny!! Looking forward to more vids🎉
Black and white (part 1) to me was an instant classic. It brought so much new stuff to someone who started on the original 150 pokes and it truly reinvigorated my love for the games. I think the most important part was the story was more compelling than past entries and I had taken a break for a good long while during gen 3 and 4 so this was like coming home and getting more!
tbh one of the best shiny hunting videos i have seen ;D most of them are boring but yours are just like eye catching BRO IDK ITS JUST GOOD AHAHHA keep up the good work man!
Honestly one of the most underrated KZhead channels, I hope to see you grow!
Thank you!!
Great video! I definitely agree with the sentiment of it not being about the destination, but rather the journey. It's how I'll remember so many of my shinies, like my Articuno. Anyway, I've subbed and will be checking out whatever else you've uploaded!
Thank you very much!
Bestowing a berry and harvest on a capture is so smart! Never thought about it. Love the extra security GJ!
never actually saw shiny kyurem, and I have to say it looks awesome, great hunt and congrats on getting it! also nice to see how much your channel has grown, with the effort you put into these videos you clearly deserve it
Thank you so much for the kind words! I hope you enjoyed the video!
Hey man congrats on your shiny! I’m super surprised you don’t have 1000s of subscribers your exactly The type of KZheadr I watch when I’m shiny hunting! Again congrats man and you got yourself a new subscribers🤟
Thanks so much man, I really appreciate it!
Man, this makes me wanna get back into shiny hunting again, congrats on the full odds Kyurem!
Thank you!
This was so cool I’m rarely able to stick to a video and with you a half your just went by as a snap!
Very well! Congrats in your shiny Kyurem. Your reaction made me smile so much! :D
Thank you awesome to hear!
Awesome hunt! Loved Kyruem’s shiny
And it's fusion look great in battle.
the KZhead algorithm has found you and you really deserve it! I know how tedious editing can be knowing that you'll get nothing from it but from now on, I'm sure ur KZhead career will get better and better! After all, ur editing, explaining and entertainment effort are great and it shows! I'll stick around to see more of you, so please, keep it up!
Thank you so much for your kindness and support! I plan on uploading more I just have to find the time lol.
I Love Love the way you voice over your videos w ur editing as well!
i know this wasn't intended to blow up, but the humor and pacing is definitely there. Love it so far. You get the voice-over to a higher quality and this channel will pop off. :)
Oh man that opening gives me goosebumps it's been awhile
Congrats on the hunt :) i’m lucky enough to have an action replay so I’m going to remove those shiny locks and hunt Zekrom because wow the green lighting on its tail is soooooooo lovely.
I am enjoying this content this is high quality right here so much so that I was disappointed when I saw you didn't have more videos like this keep up the work man I'll looking forward to seeing more videos like this
I’m very new so I'll be sure to make more videos like this! All I have right now is the Kyurem video and the Nihilego video.
Underrated. Also, listening you mumbling about stuff was really entertaining
Great job on the video. Adjust the microphone settings in voicemeter to add a bit more bass and adjust volume to have it peak out less, then adjust in audacity if needed. Makes audio quality a godsend
Thank you so much for the audio advice, I'll definitely look into that!
I was honestly stressed in just looking at this lmao! You better value him forever!
Like other people said, I thought this was a high population channel from the looks of it. I'm glad to see your video get exposure cause it seems like you have talent!
Great Job with the Video, the subtle clips and jokes were insane. Keep up the great work. Well deserved subscription.
Thank you!
you have so much talent its sad that people with this much skill in video making are often under appreciated
I don’t feel under-appreciated at all lol!
@@Anthmags72 yeah but so many people are missing out on your incredibly well made content
This reminds me of when I hunted for Latios and Latias in the Dreamyard with the charm, and just one DS, then Celebi in Crystal… Congratulations!
Thank you!
You're making it my friend, very proud of you look at everything you've done you're getting bigger and that can be scary but you definitely should be proud of yourself
Thank you so much for your kindness!
thanks to this I finally looked up what pressure did since for a few years I had no idea (since I never have actually played the official games, and found out about it and didn't know for a long time) what it did and I'm intrigued
I have been trying to catch a shiny kyurem in my pokemon white 2 and this video has inspired me too finally finish the hunt. Thank you for the great video
Thank you, good luck!
One of my first ever successful shinies that I caught was a full odds kyurem in ORAS. I stood in front of the portal debating if I should shiny hunt but decided against it. Apparently there was no need for debate because I encountered a shiny kyurem on the first attempt
just because im seeing it again: I LOVE THE GEN V INTRO! its sooo good! Its very lovely made, I love the drawings, the music, it all sets the vibes perfectly! It sets a nice backdrop to what N lived through as succesor of plasma, and his coronation. (fave character, obv!) Gen 5 is great!
10/10 vieo! congratz and goodluck on all future hunts forward.
The animated sprites are better than the 3D ones. Change my mind.
100%
I love Kyrem too! I didn’t know that he wasn’t shiny locked! I have yet to ever catch a shiny and black and white is my favorite gen. Maybe it’s time I catch my first legitimate shiny! Probably gonna master-ball it. Purple on purple.
Good luck if you do!
The nostalgia for this musical track its amazing, i love that piano riff, loved the black and white manga series too
so well made , can’t wait to see you grow !
I found a shiny dialga in pokemon diamond at 612 SR's, but my fastest hunt was ho-oh in pokemon heart gold at 240 SR'S. Best hunts I ever had! I also love shiny black kyurem because the blue turns green, and green is good!
Congrats on both of those, that's so cool! I have a little story about a shiny Dialga and I don’t know if it will end up in a video or not. Either way, I was playing three Diamond and was at where you catch Dialga. Now, I’m a competitive player so I'm very particular about what nature my Pokémon are. So I wanted to soft reset for a modest or quiet Dialga. Around 15 resets or so, I was on my phone and all of the sudden I hear the shiny sparkle sound effect and started freaking out. This was at like 2:00 AM so I woke some people up lol. I ended up catching it in my Master Ball and I think that was the single luckiest experience I've had in Pokémon and definitely inspired me to start shiny hunting! Anyway, I’m so glad you enjoyed the video and congrats again on your two shinies! Happy Easter!
@@Anthmags72 The thing is, I just happen to think the box art legendary is easy to shiny hunt. I'm still hunting both Lugia and Kyogre in pokemon heart gold.
@@Shiny_DialgaYT That's cool! Good luck with those hunts!
my personal theory as to why trainers sometimes have things like level 60 woopers or underleveled dragonites is that the evolution level is based on how good of a trainer _you_ are. This could also explain why Yellow version allows catching level 9 Pidgeottos
Finally, a fellow soak enjoyer, ive waited so long for this :')
You are heavily underrated. This video was so enjoyable! Keep it up man!
Thank you, will do!
The intro cutscene of BW always reminded me of Twilight Princess. And as much as I used to bandwagon the gen5 hate-train for the terrible poke designs, but back then and especially today I cannot bring myself to lie about how amazing the story was. And to be honest, I genuinely don't think I can choose a favorite generation, sure 1, 2 and 4 have the most nostalgia for me but the story on even the new games are absolutely insane. I am the true Pokemon stan Edit: Just read the comments and saw you were a "small" youtuber before this?? Your editing, commentary, backstory etc is absolutely INSANE, keep it up man!
Bro this is Dope! idk how u got this level of editing with only 29 subs, pls teach me 😭
and i mean this literally, I will pay you lmfao, i have so many ideas but cant edit my vids
Sorry but I never have any time on me XD
the algorithm is always a blessing when it comes to small youtubers, keep up the good work brother!
Thanks so much I’m glad KZhead is on my side lol
I didn't even realize you weren't a big youtuber, you've earned my sub. Good video!
The reason for your overall success on this video is the title is attention grabbing, the thumbnail is suspenseful, and the overall editing is insane. This vid deserves at least 1 mil views tho
You nailed it. I spent a lot of time thinking and crafting a good title and thumbnail because I knew it would be worth the time investment.
Black & white 2 intro still slaps to this day. (same goes for the game)
You have such a great personality and the editing on this video is insane! you deserve so much! :)
Thank you so much, I’m so glad you enjoyed the video!!!
I saw this video while shiny hunting Cobalion and decided to ditch it when i found out that Kyruem wasn't shiny locked About 2 hours later and 71 resets in i encountered the shiny kyurem and master ball'd it with a Brave nature and the nickname "Alduin" Great video🔥
Thank you very much! Congratulations on the shiny Kyurem! That definitely must have been some experience getting it that quick!
Lets go Anthony!!!! My boyyyyyy
😄😄😁🥰🥰🥳🤩🐆

I love Kyurem, I especially LOVE Kyurem Black form, I'm glad Kyurem-B got buffed in Gen 8 with Dragon Dance and Icicle Spear, but I am slightly annoyed that in return got sent to Ubers
