On the one hand, it is a little sad how shinies have lost a bit of that rarity/exclusiveness... But on the other hand, its COOL AS HECK that these cool alternate colors are so accessible now! XD
So they acknowledge that the coastal biome is a slice of Alola, but you STILL can't just evolve Pikachu into Alolan Raichu there? WTF GAMEFREAK!? I'm angy because 1. I missed the event 2. I didn't even really do outbreaks untill recently
Do you know about the everstone breeding trick? You can it through Masuda method by breeding a foreign ditto with an ALOLAN raichu holding an everstone.
it took 5 seconds for me to ind a shiny alolan raichu,like I just got to the location XD when she spawned,I named her dandelion after my shiny alolan raichu OC,I've been dying to do that,I got 2 shiny alolan raichu,even if they don't have gender differences like the regular raichu,I still wanted both male and female anyway,cause who knows? they could give alolan raichu a gender difference in the future,it took years before eevee got one,so anything's possible
I think this video made me start to realise why over world shiny pokemon don't have overworld sound effects. They spawn way more commonly under the right set up so I imagine it would get annoying after a while. Maybe?
I still have the Pikachu and friends event. I'm saving it for my birthday so I can try and get destiny marked ones. Because Raichu is my favorite Pokémon.
@meta13gaming Changing the date only affects the spawn areas of the outbreaks, not the event itself! I did this myself to get a nice spot to isolate and hunt for a tiny shiny Raichu Alola.
i both love and hate the alolan raichu event for a few reasons. I love it because i always wanted a shiny one.....But i hate it because i've been doing a hunt for it by trading with the NPC in Let's Go, i was at over 10K on it and still no shiny. Yet i find 6 of them under an hour in Scarlet. Now why did they choose to not include it in the base DLC with the other Alolan forms since Pikachu is obviously in the game? I dunno im just a bit salty about that but hey i got the shiny i wanted can't be too salty i guess.
i love alolan raichu's shiny, but getting an alolan raichu on switch is awful, especially trying to find a shiny. and i couldn't even transfer from 3ds. with this event i got 3 shiny alolan raichus.
I'm very happy I didn't miss this. I wanted to hunt Shiny Alolan Rai for a while. I caught four, one of which was female, which I'm happy about because it's a 7:1 M/F gender ratio- AND it's an XS sized one.
@@WaterKirinGamer No, I'd actually assumed that because Pikachu is a starter line and I'd gotten three male shinies in a row. Pedantic thing to correct someone over, I know, but...
