With the more recent years of Pokemon releases, Pokemon fan claim that shiny hunting is easier than it has even been before - but is it really? I took on this idea in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's Indigo Disk DLC, to see how quickly I could catch 100 Shiny Pokemon. This video took a lot of time and effort to put together, so I'd really appreciate it if you shared this with a friend. If you have any suggestions for the next video, leave it in the comments below! Have a great day :)

15:25 he says "I am the first person to catch a shiny crabominable in a sports ball 30000 ft in the air", bro was clearly not invited to the cloudy-crab sports jamboree back in 09
Erm actually crabominable was created in 2016
@@kanedgytheguy8105Clearly you werent invited either. The coudy-crab sports jamboree was run by people with time machines and my uncle who works at nintendo.
what’s the cloudy crab sports jamboree?
@@leakz-3115 You catch crabs from high in the air, obviously.
The post jamboree BBQ was to die for, 09 was a great year
At this rate, Johnstone will manage to speedrun getting a full Shiny Living Dex
That would be a weeks long nightmare.
StickMaster500 gaming
@@zdelrod829 Bold of you to assume it'll only take a week 😂
@@theangryparas3167not trying to go acktually but I’m pretty sure they meant it would be many weeks
Yeah, I've been working on my Full Shiny Living Form Dex, for over two years now. Please end my suffering...
I really wish they would bring back the audible chime that Legends Arceus made when a shiny spawned. It was super helpful for those tough-to-spot shinies, especially now that we have mons that are small and decently hidden in the grass.
Or at least the shiny sparkles from LGPE
It would be especially good for color blind people
Same. I never owned a Legends Arceus game card, but i saw people find shinies in the game before and wish they had the overworld sparkles and noise in the gen 9 games as well. It would be so much easier to notice shinies
Yeah I loved that feature but apart from the ponyta and Pokémon I transferred in I hardly heard it despite having the shiny charm I've only caught like 7 shinys 😅 best highlights were getting a shiny shinx in the first hour of the game and then running into a shiny chimchar when going to the outbreak
I have colourblindness, I basically relied heavily on those cues to find my shinies- I don't even want to know how many I've missed because they removed the sparkles and chime :(
Speedrunning catching Johnstone videos at launch.
TIME! 37 minutes! Was my time
24 seconds here. gotta get lucky with the rng homepage refresh@@theicetypespecialist9691
Yessir
MUDKIP
1 hour sadly
John, outbreaks of Sinistea and Polchageist were updated when the Teal Mask came out. There are outbreaks for both, if one Pokémon in that outbreak is authentic, they all are authentic and vice versa.
Poltchageist* (there should be 2 T's)
@@Amelia4111 its actually Polteageist*. Poltchageist is the unevolved form of Sinistcha, not the evolved form of Sinistea. Ik very confusing
@@JubioHDXthe point was they were mentioning both Pokemon with 1/100 authentic. They said the right Pokemon
Johnstone out here catching more shinies in 10 minutes than I've found in my life.
Did John forget Litleo was in the base Scarlet/Violet dex?
lol i think he did
I went looking for this comment haha!
I've caught two shiny litleo, both female. They're so damn common too lmao
Also Zebstrika was on many ORAS Mirage Islands. Not exclusive to XY friend safari.
I know that’s what I was thinking
Anyone else see the Shiny Araquanid in the background while John was talking about using his sandwich to find a Shiny Araquanid? 🤣🤣🤣
I THOUGHT I WAS GOING CRAZY, YES
he don't miss
Oh hey its Blarg
oh blarg is here
Matt what are u doing
What, is he secretly V.IV Rusty?
Blarg?
At 22:30 during the sinistea outbreak, the form of sinistea is locked to outbreak so if it’s an outbreak of phony forms it’ll only spawn phony and never an authentic meanwhile if the outbreak is of authentic it’ll only spawn authentic and never phony
The dedication to go and catch a lapras in lets go for the bit is crazy considering the current method in that game Also his inner Legends Arceus is getting to his brain he called the costal biome the coastlands
It was an old clip re used. Pretty sure from his shiny badge quest.
It's been fun seeing John evolve from the Professor Oak Challenge guy, to the "how fast can I complete the game?" guy, to Competitive Shiny Hunter
Can I just say that Johnstone chose the BEST shiny Pokémon to use for the Thumbnail. Good to see another Totodile fan
And then he changed it lmaooo
@@YoungSlugStudios RIP
@@JediKnightDanielAnd now it's back to Totodile 😅

Late to the party because I wanted to finish the DLC before watching this, but loved this video!! Always a pleasure to watch you shiny hunt, and was very rewarding after many of your videos where you'd hunt hours for a single pokemon to see you get a whole bunch in 10 minutes in the middle there! Thanks as always for the effort to put this together!
You actually just saved me a heap of time by mentioning litleo was only in the poke pelago in USUM. I have been working on my dex and didn't realize it. Thank you so much!
Honestly started losing it when you started talking about the polar caves in New Hampshire. You unlocked so many childhood memories of yearly trips going to the polar caves and the lemon squeeze and orange crush, haven’t thought about that place in well over a decade.
same, i used to live close by to that place. it was great.
I love these videos. I listened to every one in the last year grinding out every shiny starter. :D
Man I was just watching your Sun randomizer. This is awesome!
Well, you know what Nuzlockers say: if something gets too easy, add more rules
always makes my day to see you've posted!
15:40 woah the graphics update on that lapras catch is insane
It's funny cause lgpe came out 4 years before shit ass scarlet and violet and it still looks futuristic compared.
@@L1nk2002 lgpe isn't an open world game
@@storm_fling1062 and? An open world game can't look good? Yeah keep on forgiving that small indie company for making shit ass games that sell 20 million copies, that's the way to go.
@@L1nk2002 The small indie company that also made LGPE? There's reasons SV looks worse, and one of them is definitely the fact it's open world. Quit being a little piss baby and throwing tanty in the youtube comment section, adding nothing of value.
@@crayfishfuture it's you who bought that ass game, not me. I didn't throw 60 euros + plus whatever for the dlc in the toilet, you did. You should feel ashamed of how low you value your time and money to have spent them on a game that shouldn't even have come out.
I gotta admit, I was already impressed by PM7's "all shiny starters" in a week, but this tops it.
As always, John is probably going to be the only run on this as he’s the only one dumb enough to do it. Never change man
I have a theory that established shiny hunters have an internal enzyme in their body that makes finding shinies easier and easier as they collect more and more. Case in point - Johnstone. Also, anecdotally, my brother and I were hunting a beldum for my VGC team and I've only recently started hunting shinies. I came away with one. My brother, who's been hunting for several years now, came away with two, one of them were marked :/
I have like 150 shiny pokemon, I get dry spells like crazy though
My first shiny was a pidgey that i couldnt catch. I didnt get any more until Legends Arceus, but those were mostly outbreaks. So far ive gotten 2 random shinies in S/V, and a shiny Cyndaquil i hunted in HGSS
30 shirts in 15 hours on shiny sandwiches is actually probably low odds.
I got just over 60. I am trying for a full shiny living dex. It takes me hours on average to find one, even with all the methods. My sibling is not a hardcore hunter. They're basically a living shiny charm, having about the same amount of shinies as me, except a good majority just kinda happened, whereas most of mine were hunted. Max amount of shinies I've found after a day of hunting, 2. My sibling found 5 without trying the other day lmao. I may just be an outlier who should not be counted though idfk lol
Trust me that is not the case, in pokemon black i was doing a all shiny run and im hard stuck on a shiny water type. I have a total of 200 + shiny across all my games between gen 4 to 7
you know its a great day when you wake up and see a johnstone vid in your sub box, great vid!!
yo radient
John: *sees a shiny* “It looks so good!” Every time lol
Oh my god Lemon Squeezer mention!!! Also congrats on all the shinies
i was hoping you were gonna post and boom you posted
I know the pain of catching a shiny in a beast ball, proud owner of a shiny marked iron valiant in a beast ball
Could never be me. Four sandwiches for a shiny round boy. RNG and I are rivals. 😂 Seeing so many shinies filled me with hope! Also, super fun video, as always!
Love your content so much!🎉❤
Easily the best channel I've stubbled across for months now
3:23 litleo is in base game scarlet and violet btw!
Was just thinking about a good JS video to watch. Happy Friday.
The milcery/floette/litwick outbreaks with the charms were insane. Found all 5 flowers and 7 milcery’s in one day. Hoping we have some more events like that for sure
Thank you for a wholesome video, John! I think you could hunt 100 faster in an 8,192 game, but I guess we won't know until you speedrun that some other time. 😂
22:03 Nystagmus? Same here dude. I’ve never noticed your eyes dart back and forth, so maybe there’s hope for me yet
hey johnstone, love this videos, I was wondering if you had any plans to make professor oak challenges for the scarlet and violet dlc’s?
The thing I love most about Johnstone os also the most irratating. He will do a challenge for 50 hours, edit it all and ONLY take the absolute peak highlights and it will still be a 30 minute video. So if he did shorter videos it would be more good content, but everyone knows that Johnstone is the best at quality over quantity. ❤️ u man
john is probably one of the poketubers that have the most endurance for boring tasks
You new to poketubers?
watch absolblogspokemon lmao
You know nothing , @ waffled.
as mentioned by someone else absolblogs pokemon (lv 100 gauntlets with non-optimal leveling methods). If you add in not poketubers specifically but game variety streamers there are videos like restart the game if you get hit challenges across various poketubers/youtubers and pikasprey yellow's soft-lock picking series.
i mean one of the poketubers @@AdminAbuse
The shiny power of my home state of New Hampshire is insane
8:55 that’s a war crime… why a luxury ball, a premier ball is literally the perfect ball
the way i found a shiny sinistea was literally because i jumped over one of the area borders in the terrarium and landed ON a pink teacup. i was bewildered. i have almost a box full of shinies, despite never doing shiny hunting and never even using sandwiches. ive probably missed a lot. its still very special every time, though.
Never fail to deliver on a banger video, thanks John.
The video is 33 mins long and you commented 3 mins ago, must be a really good intro lol
exactly@@Tylahh
I love your videos! You are amazing!
A Johnstone upload day is a good day
21:20 Oh! I caught a Bulbasaur as my first shiny in scarlet like 2 days ago! I named him Goldleaf
Shiny Bulba crazy!
I love how absoloutely insane you are, who else has this absoloute inhuman level of patience
rellor was my first shiny in scarlet early in the playthrough! bug is my favorite type and when it evolved into a strong psychic type with a fantastic design and perfect shiny colors i was so happy!! 😭💕
BANGER VIDEO! MUCH LOVE
Oh heck YES, a Johnstone video.
He is back! The man, the legend, the livingdex maker!
I was waiting for new video ❤
Will you do a dlc catch em all? i know the grinding for bp would take a while, but it would make for a great video
17:35 is that a shiny araquanid in the background, in the same thirty seconds since he ate his sandwich, WHILE he’s catching a shiny dewpider
i hope the next legends game will have the overworld shiny sound. that's the most addicting sound ever.
Absolutely amazing that this banger is on my birthday what a great present
I’m so happy to find another one of my favorite KZheadrs actually is from the same state as me
thank you for this Johntent
Mudkip my Beloved, thank you Johnstone for this upload!
5:01 "I can evolve m Exeggcute to Alolan Exeggutor." Are you sure about that?
He definitely cant
@@chadradge9460 Woosh
Me thinking I can take my shiny Exeggcute to the Coastal Biome but finding out it doesn't work that way
It’s a Good day when John uploads
Thank you for an awesome challenge video=3
I felt Jon killing that shiny charmander, that...that was painful
youre so right about solosis, i outbreak hunted one and ended up respawning after 60kos for probably two hours before i looked at the sv model and went oh GOD i probably missed several. i thought it would be brighter!!!
Your Minior catch was a lot like mine with Tandemaus. I saw an outbreak, ran over it, thought "this is going to be tricky," and literally the first one I auto battled was shiny! (If only I'd succeeded with Dratini outbreaks.)
Idk how he can notice the most tiny differences in shinies is honestly just impressive
At this point you should do a Living Shiny Dex for this game!
Yoooo johnstone upload
Perfect I just started my lunch hour. Thanks 🙏
What a cool video as always Mr. Johnstone. ALSO POLAR CAVES MENTIONED RAHHHHHHH
bruxish mentioned lets gooooo 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 love that freak so much its unreal
AYO THE GOAT IS BACK 🗣️🗣️🗣️
Ur videos are the best!
I started two weeks ago, almost got to 100! Spiny hunting in this game is addicting 😂
John: Litleo hasnt been seen since pokepelago!!! Litleo: Ive been avilable on SV since release but okay...
Funny story I heard you say the word "polar" and my brain immediately went to the Polar Caves 🤣 I hate living in NH but any time I hear someone "famous" mention it I'm like OMG I LIVE THERE!!!!!!!!!
JOHNSTONE UPLOADED RAAH!!
Already know its gonna be good
Just a note for the future. With the sinistea and polchageist lines you can get outbreaks that are the authentic and artisan forms making the shiny hunts for them guaranteed. I had that happen to me where I found an outbreak that was unseen for me. Caught a polchageist and it was artisan form.
Today’s a good day for KZhead videos
I love the difference between video Johnstone (the smart one) and live Johnstone (the not so smart one) LOL
Johnstone needs to do a favorite shiny of every gen/type video/stream
Seeing John do this just reminds me of the journey to get a shiny female Glaceon. My friends have dubbed me insane.
I got four Shiny Delibird in one outbreak during my Christmas break in Paldea. I caught each one in a different and RARE pokeball.
btw john zebstrika was actually catchable in oras from certain mirage spots after defeating or catching kyogre/groudon and the dex expands
9:08 “his little snubs in the snow!😍” … “OH MY GAHH”
5:43 Rellor was the 2nd shiny I got in my main story play through. The first was Psyduck about 1/2 an hour in, and the last was Dunsparce right before I went and fought Sada.
I do in fact love the polar caves, I had to pull someone through.
I was just about to look for ur channel to watch ur vids, talk about timing
Hearing about Blitzle's lack of availability hurts my soul. It's such a cute Pokémon.
It took me 10 hours to find a shiny milcery in that event. I can't believe you just found one immediately.
HONEY WAKE UP JOHNSTONE UPLOADED
This is very fun to watch! Glad to see someone do this!
John making jokes about his eyesight and im staring at his footage...at his known shinies and going "how is there a shiny here?????????????"
That Sacred Sword was tragic💀
10:00 I love that john hates Quilladin as much as me
Yeah the milcery outbreaks were crazy, i wanted to get an alcremie with each topping and it took like less than 2 sandwhiches
Love the videos
It should be noted that outbreaks of a specific form will always be that specific form. So, for the sinistea outbreak, it would always be phony sinistea (though the area spawns sinistea naturally so there's always the chance you get a non-outbreak one there)
