Lately I’ve gotten a lot of messages saying throwing bait or mud would’ve made it more likely to catch. This is statistically incorrect. The best chance to catch is if you just throw Safari balls from the start. This is because it can flee on that turn you throw mud/bait, and the increased catch chance or decreased flee rate do not make up for it.
How can you get the rocks for you can place them down?Also Does it only have to be the be the rocks to have a 100% larvitar encounter rate?I would really appreciate if you read this.
TotemRotom I can stick for a long time with fast paced hunts, but slow hunts are what get me. You’re already pretty patient with that Miltank man, good luck!
Nooooope, I'll hatch for Larvitar any day. They may take longer to hatch, but at least they don't run away. I couldn't handle watching a shiny run, especially after that many SRs
ShinyCollector98 no doubt, you're made if sterner stuff than I, sir. After that first run away I'd probably fall into a depression and not be able to boot the game for a week, haha
I think you missed the part where this was for my badge quest. Everything I hunt is full odds, so yeah Full Odds eggs in gen 7 would be faster still. But I hunted this specifically so I could have it on my Heart Gold SBQ. For what I specifically wanted, this was the fastest way. Assuming I average the same for breeding in gen 7 as I did here, 10k eggs there would actually still be about the same time as 60k encounters here, so not actually saving time anymore. And gen 6/7 ruined a lot of shinies.
brandon faris Thanks! I feel like a lot of people don’t realize that so when people post things like “Shiny at 3:00” or something I just kind of blank stare my phone. Like I hunt for so many hours, you can wait a few minutes lol I even add hunt explanations and try to make that entertaining at the beginnings too. But yeah thanks, it means a lot that someone acknowledged it like that!!
Hi everyone! Like I said this video and hunt took ten months in the making, so if you could drop a like and share it with friends I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you all so much for the support on this one!
Legogamer thanks man! And I think we need to be online at the same time to get the third Pokémon in your Safari, mind going online in your X/Y for a bit? I can give you a shiny Gabite to make it worth it
Congrats on this shiny. I would have given up at that point. I never had that much dedication to shiny hunting. I always wanted this shiny, but I was never able to find it. Maybe I will find it one day.
Honestly as long as you don't have ridiculously long phases like I did, this will be the fastest way to get a shiny Larvitar, on average you'd have 3 fails. Do it across 2 or more games and E-Z. Thanks R Kelly!
Cometstarlight I think you should go back and continue Lugia, it’s got a really nice shiny! And if you’re feeling low on luck, just come back to this video for motivation :D
I gotta say i randomly clicked that Video, I watched it through with all my heart and you made me feel with you after that first one. +1 for Patience, Respect.
It's finally over. The entire time I've been subbed to you on Twitch, you've been doing this hunt. Now it's time to move on to bigger and better things! *I'll still make those savage jokes though*
Man honestly, this is torture. Making all the way and spending the precious time u had on finding these... and then they run right in front of your eyes, not once , but twice. Id NEVER hunt anything in Safari just to make sure i wont have any Heart attack lol. Congratz anyway man! Nice got.
ShinyCollector98 You're welcome. I felt genuinely bad for you when you missed that one twice. You definitely deserved the catch after all those trials and I'm glad you saved the game asap before (who knows) the battery run out. I bet your Larvitar is a strong Tyranitar by now. :)
I'm not all Pokémon nerdy, and could careless about all the things that may be right/wrong. I enjoy playing Pokémon, but only with cheat codes now. To much time to do it legit, and time isn't something I have to spare. Yet, I don't see the point in wasting all this time for one shiny, when your a cheat code away from catching everything shiny... I know you may have caught these "legit", but there's a kid down the street that has all the Pokémon shiny level 100, with 100% I've and the best favourably nature's, and can trade for any Pokémon he wants... Took him like 3 hours a day for a week.... This seems like a massive life sucker for just a few lines of code in a game, hoping that code out of thousands of other lines pop up. Then again, I guess it's your life and you do with it as you please and I'm sure theses kinds of videos gets you lots of veiws over various streaming platforms. So do you mate. Congratulations. (Edit:) I don't mean to sound Critical,downing, or mean.Just kinda blows me away at the amount of time put into something kinda pointless.
I like this, it's critical without being rude. A rarity for RU-vid. I know I can just get it faster by cheating, but that's not as fun. I'd rather spend hours talking with friends I've made from this (online and in person) while we all shiny hunt. Or I can stream and get to interact with people, being able to make their day while I'm just goofing off playing games. And it's obviously more exciting when you earn it than if you hack it in or use an easier method. Yeah sometimes I hunt pokemon for their shiny variation, but normally when I shiny hunt something it's simply for the fact that it's rare. It's not even about wanting it in that color. At the end of the day, yeah it's kind of pointless. But isn't any hobby? Sports or stamp collecting or whatever it is, it's all pointless but if you're having fun then you're not wasting time. It's not for everyone of course, but it's fun for me. And this is my part time job while I'm in college. So I get to have fun, play games, not need to get a job that I hate, and make a little cash? Hell yeah, I'll take it!
ShinyCollector98 I see, you made a good point. I appreciate you responding back to my comment,and showing a different way of thinking of it then I did. Hard to see both sides when you narrow your vision, you'll miss thinking outside the box.
ShadowReaperW64 Gaming At the end of the day, video games as a whole are 'pointless' by your definition. Just lines of code. What actually matters are each person's personal enjoyment. You play your games your way, and he plays his games his way. Kinda surprising that you're smart enough to make a RU-vid comment and yet don't understand what preferences are.
Shiny collector be like. It's ok, you can get in the ball, it's ok, it's ok, everything is fine as long as you stay. The second he catches it: THATS RIGHT YOU BETTER STAY IN THE F**KING BALLL!!!! THATS WHAT I THOUGHT !!!!
You are the most patient Shiny hunter i've even seen, I'm still stuck in Gen.5 hunting with little luck, but i wish you luck for what other hunts you do.
Damn, that took a will of steel to keep that going. I hate Safari Zone enough with everything fleeing, and would've just searched in Mt. Silver or something. Congrats, it looks amazing and the Safari Ball compliments it well. Can't wait to see Tyranitar.
TheTieBreaker yeah, I would’ve only had like 3 possible chances to get Larvitar though if I did it in mt Silver, otherwise I would’ve definitely waited. Thanks man, definitely looks cool with Safari ball!
Lemme just say this. Tyranitar's movepool is insane. And both it's attacking stats are amazing. Outdated advice or not, it's still something to admire.
No clue how i tot here. I don't care for shiny pokemon. Heck, i only ever player till sapphire. But I'm very happy for you, and your dedication is something 99 percent of people, including me, can learn from :p
Wow, I really appreciate this, most people that don't know what's going on in my videos jump to negatives or being critical. Thanks for the positivity :)
