How I accidentally got a pokemon world record 

Yes

yes absolutely

Yes

yes we got a video out of it

-yes-

no you have already taken enough from me

Lol no I Need that bean

@@CandyEvie don't keep the family split up let him reunite with Hostage God

Dan you don't need more it's okay

NO

Nice and most likely I haven't gotten any shiney from Sword and Shield but I want a shiney ponyta lol

i like to believe u were the first. and i just found the guy who found the first shiny in SwSh in a randomly recommended youtube video 5 mins after waking up.

This reminds me of how I caught Jirachi in Pokemon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire before it was even revealed in the US. I had no idea what in the world this pokemon was and actually emailed the Pokemon company asking about it.

I feel like I'm in the same boat on Sw/Sh, but with wooloo lol.

Same boat, but on Brilliant Diamond and with a Shellos

It sounds like some weird form of self-flagellation to be honest

At some points not having it feel like we did more reset than what we did for real 😩 i tried it and personally it felt more annoying that anything so I gave up And now idk how many Sword Regice/Guzzlord i encountered

We usually just either have mods watching who keeps upping a counter on each attemp or how I do it which is just download a counter app on my phone and tap the screen each time an encounter happens, currently at around 400-500 for a shiny lapras using maseuda method in shield. I don't do shiny hunting on RU-vid or anything but I might on my twitch one day but it'll be in a year or so if I ever do

its the best part! the amount of pain to get a shiny makes it worth that much more!

That's awesome!!

Ive been hunting shiny Registeel in Sw/Sh since Oct 25th 2020. Gave up counting around 100k encounters because it was just soul crushing to see the number, and my wife lets out a pretty deep sigh every time i enter that stupid cave again. Glad to hear you got to celebrate!

I only managed to get one

Shiny hunting be like that though lol. Years old conquests lol

yes it is so good of them

Well, considering that you had to restart the game all those times, I'd say you still have plenty of reason to complain.

I got mine in 78 sr, it’s insane I never done a hunt that long before and right now I’m doing a fully odds for Charmander in fire red. 140 rn see if I can get it within 1000 or 10000 lmao

I tried hunting a shiny pheramosa, biggest mistake of my life I say, I had to reset my game so much that I couldn’t count time, after 20000+ encounters I just finnaly quit and just do the max raid dens, I got a pheramosa but at the blood of my hands were a lot of dead ones.

In moon I found a shiny sableye with Pokerus while sos chaining carbink. It was under odds and I didn’t have the shiny charm. The odds were 1/576 million for it to be called in, be shiny, and have pokerus

If I calculated correctly it is a chance of 1 out of 53,7 billions or 0,000000000086 percent. So yeaaaah you are misremembering, it didn't happen that way.

​@GimbalosMorkinar man have you seen the crap people have found legit. That's baby numbers

SHINY UTAH

@@kartik3719 they mean they way she pronouces it

Hearing people be excited about something they love never fails to put a smile on my face.

Absolutely adorable reminds me of my younger sisters getting excited for things, but with an accent.

Jokes on u she lied

except now someone else got the record, so time to roll over instead.

I played habbo nonstop back when i was 7-10 yet my parents werent concerned for some reason

woop

We absolutely did limit screen time - Lucy was just too smart for us and got around our restrictive measures…

@@alison2219 I've gotta admit that I sometimes did sneak around screen time restrictions, too, but not to that very same extent. So I know that how hard it is to get kids to follow such restrictions. But fortunately it seems like she did turn out to be a great adult regardless of these shenanigans :D

@@Pikachamp1 she definitely did - we’re very proud of her. Wouldn’t change a thing.

"best part of the week" You mean, decade

i agree. but i also think this is a record you do not want

ON SHINING PERAL I GOT A SHINY WHEN I ENTERD THE GAME AND FOUND A RANDOM SHINY AND IT TOOK A SECEND RO SPAWN AFTER I LOSDED INTO THE GAME ADN IT 2AS MY 1st CHINGLING ENCOUNTER AND I GOT SHINY STARTER 12th encounter am better then this ugly woman

@@Axolotlboigaming Ok kid, but no one cares

@@noahtaylor1721 LOL YOUR JELOUS

TRUE

ahh so glad someone picked that up 😁

*mom

@@TheRandomGuyEverestEver Lucy is British. A lot of people in the U.K. say "mum" instead of "mom", or at least pronounce it that way.

@@AllenMZim then stop

@@TheRandomGuyEverestEver Stop what? Saying mum? If you're referring to me, then no. I'll do whatever I want to. If you're referring to Lucy or the U.K., good luck convincing them to stop.

Internet Historian

saw the same comment on Jaiden's channel lol

@@andri7037 well it is the same!

literally

@@Luna_shadow feel like every animation channel gets this comment lol

Against three types that fire is bad against?! ...That's honestly pretty impressive.

I also got my first shiny in that game!! It was a Mr Mime in the cave right before the fighting gym with the skater lady, but I found it in a secret room with cool lighting from the ceiling, so I thought it was an event shiny,, and deleted the save file after I completed the game 💀 Years later I remembered that and couldn’t remember the context for this supposed event, so I looked it up… and didn’t find anything. The realization slowly kicked in that I had made a huuuge mistake 😭

Dunno if this was meant to be passive aggressive 😂

@@Windsguidance i mean, this vid got recommended to me, as i’m not subbed and haven’t heard of this youtuber before, and from the thumbnail i could already tell she was an off brand/knock off Jaiden. Cringey to say the least. Lemme guess, this chick is aerial ace too right? (i know it’s aroace but come on y’all gettin ridiculous with the orientations)

@@Windsguidance Twas simply a minor funny, a little gag of mine

@@cosmicintervention9869 how are u so butthurt over some random internet personalities what😭

@@cosmicintervention9869 dude, what is wrong with you? aroace is literally just not having any romantic or sexual attraction lol. this has been a thing for a millennia, it isn't as "ridiculous" as you think it may be.

bro stop throwing those numbers, ive been hunting rowlet on moon since launch and im 24k SRs in and every reset i just tell myself its impossible to not get it now and go to 25k i dont want to add another 2 years and 10k SRs to this hunt pleasee 😭😭

@@Strashky Just keep at it and you'll get it. It's what I had to learn in the safari zone. It's not fun.

It makes no logical sense to bet channel points on him getting it. Even if he hasn’t found a shiny in 30 billion encounters, the chances are still 1/4000 (or whatever variation in game he’s playing).

@@stoopidapples1596 It's 1/8192 & I don't mind given I sit in on his streams a lot while I get stuff done so I wracked up enough points that I never use. He did actually get a shiny Pidove at 61k so he did not make it up to Lucy's insane high number but it looked as though he could have for a while.

taylor just phased on his blitzle hunt! shiny pidove at 61,236 a day ago, poor dude lol

I will allow you to keep it for now 😌

@@CandyEvie He actually doesn't even have it anymore haha. I'm pretty sure TheSupremeRk9s has it now

I remember reading about a guy who had 130k+ encounters in the safari zone looking for a shiny. Iirc he had the controls of six game boys linked together to hunt faster by the end.

I’m pretty sure TheSupremeRK9s went to 70k

I did 300 celebi encounters every day on virtual console crystal on the 3ds trying to get a shiny celebi to name RedOnion. It took me over 3 years. That's well over 300,000 encounters. I didn't record it. It wasn't worth it at that point.

Omg really?? Me too!! It was my first ever full odds shiny. It was so insane I could not believe it

Ok i wont

you can say it's A RARE CANDY

@@UNIWarriorThomas ok that was actually funny

@@lordpikachu6897 thx XD

I know what you mean, shiny hunting is something that, while I understand the appeal of, I don't personally have the patience for it. Having said that, I still have to respect the people who are willing to devote that kind of time to this sort of thing, it's honestly fascinating

I feel you on this, been playing pokemon since I was 5years old first shiny I've gotten that wasn't given to me was on legends arceus this year. I'm 22 now..

Same ! I have no luck when it come to shiny hunting. I would never have the patience to shiny hunt for one pokemon, so a full pokedex... I started pokemon with Yellow when I was 5, and I've played most of the mainline game. Without wonder trade and event, I only encounter 2 shinies : A red gyrados (another one that the one from silver) and a shiny regice (that is so barely noticable that I didn't get it was a shiny when I caught it xD). Yep. I respect people doing shiny hunting, I can't.

So, I just started playing crystal for the first time a couple days ago, and I already have a shiny phanpy, which only had a 5% chance of even appearing, and a shiny spinarak a few hours earlier. What the hell.

@@runedoom Damn that's so great makes me happy to see at least some people are lucky :)

In sword my first cubone capture was a shiny (wasn't hunting it) and in SS I was hunting for a plusle and found a shiny minun.

Bruh I just lost a shiny Bulbasaur in leaf green after 14 hours of SRs. I accidentally reset after I saw it had a bad nature 😭.

@@blameitondanny ouch

I caught a shiny Scorupi by complete chance in Sword. I wasn't even looking for one. I was getting Galarian Farfetch'd for my ex-friend and I. We were going to have a little competition to see who'd evolve it first. The reason being it needs to land three crits in one battle to evolve. Neither of us were all that sure how it'd work so we devised this competition. I had to catch them though cause Farfetch'd was exclusive to Sword and he had Shield. I had spent perhaps a few hours trying to catch one. Why hours? Game Freak gave them the move Final Gambit. It's a fighting type which deals a lot of damage and causes the user to faint. It's basically Explosion or Self Destruct. Yeah so I caved and bought Quick balls. I have this thing where Great balls work way more often than Ultra balls and specialty balls just don't work when they should. I don't know. So I caught one and luckily he was holding a Leek. Now I was catching my ex-friend's. An hour passes and I got jumped by the normally purple scorpion. I was drowsy (not the Pokèmon) so I didn't take notice at first. As I was about to run I realized it looked off. Then it clicked and I tried to catch it. I wasn't going to sweat it if I failed as I'm not a shiny hunter and don't really care if it's shiny or not. I caught it and was proud that I finally got a legit shiny that wasn't a mystery gift or scripted event...well actually I got a shiny Sudowoodo in Coliseum before that but I don't know if they revert once purified. To finish the story I did catch a Farfetch'd for my friend but she wasn't holding a Leek. I had Redd, my Thievul, steal one from a Farfetch'd. Also I evolved mine first. It was much easier than I was anticipating. Sirfetch'd are crit machines.

I think I may have seen more hippopotas than u, just a guess

@@CandyEvie omw to break your wooper record to prove u wrong

My first full odds was in SwSh aswell! A shiny Ninetails in a max raid den

Those people looking for shiny authentic sinistea

@@rayquazaemerald10260 has anyone gotten 69k+ encounters without any shinies while hunting authentic sinistea?

😭😭😭 in my sword i wanted either a shiny yamask or impidimp. the only other hunts ive done were sos chaining and a masuda in x (which i got in like 4 eggs) so i was *NOT* prepared for getting like 10 boxes of the two mons and just, not getting one. mad respect to any dedicated hunter like geez

haha thank Lewtwo for that 😎

What’s funny is I had a near identical experience to this, only reversed. My 2nd play-through of PLA, I’m running around the Obsidian Fieldlands and stumble across the shiny Ponyta. I assume that because I knew of the quest for it, it had gone ahead and spawned for me and I figured, “sure why not?” and caught it. Only to find out that I hadn’t accepted the quest yet and my mind went “???!” I went back out there (with the quest this time) and sure enough, there was the 100% spawn.

Meanwhile I've been specifically hunting for another Ponyta so I can have a shiny living dex in Arceus! Aah!

@@FrenkTheJoy I don’t have the patience to pursue a living shiny Dex. I don’t want to even THINK about how much of a headache it would be to hunt the Distortion-only ones. The last ‘mon I needed to complete the normal Dex was Shieldon (+ evo.) Not Cherrim, not Spiritomb… Shieldon.
