How I STOLE Shiny Pokémon 

correction to 4:58: 1/65536 is 8 times less likely than 1/8192, not 4 times

In Hoenn, the snaggem machine steals your social security number.

Honestly the more you explain it the more enticing the one in 8000 chance of a regular shiny seems

I can't believe it's taken me 20 years since I started playing Pokemon to associate the Bad Egg gotten from cheating to bad egg, which means dishonest. Like, I just never made the connection and just thought it was random I'd get an egg as a glitched byproduct of my old GameShark ways. This whole time it was GameFreak calling me out 😂

Someone needs to get you the other two e-reader cards so you can steal the shiny relicanth and Gardevoir, and combine it with two stolen battle tower shinies to make a full team of stolen shinies

Just a classic bit of identity theft to secure some colourful bois. Keep up the good work man, this content is fascinating despite how niche it is haha

Next up, steal that bastards golden exeggcute

Bro went from ribbon hunting a Pokemon rescued from snagem to ribbon hunting a Pokemon after becoming snagem

It would be really cool to see if someone could design mock ereader cards with custom trainers to fight/ steal shinies from

Image a 10 year old stealing your shiny Pokémon you wasted hours for…..

Ran into this exact bad egg problem with Craig and his salamence, after seeing the video you referenced, so glad to see someone who cared enough to test this out! Will be doing round two later today to finally rob Craig of his dragon.

I thought stealing Pokémon was just part of the games at one point because I think I watch a RU-vid video when I was young of people doing it.

This makes me think of old gen 4 days where I’d boot up the old Action Replay and steal a bunch of story NPC’s Pokémon, which would always cause the summary of the stolen Pokémon to glitch (odd dates, odd meet areas, etc)

The content we all needed. Very nice thievery! You took better care of that mence than the AI ever would

Didn't know the Snag Machine made it's way to Hoenn. Another great video!

Just saw your first video about the e-Reader and was disappointed the adventure had to end on "welp, Bad EGGs gonna Bad EGG" before seeing this one pop up on autoplay. Im so stoked you were able to steal Craig from Craig and transfer him all the way to Gen 8. Loved these vids!

The sequel to Ocean's Eleven: Ocean's 1/65536

when you said RNG manipulation I had some Half A-Press flashbacks

Something interesting, I captured dragon tamer Craig's shiny dragon this morning using this method, but I instead injected the e reader card into ENG Ruby, doing so made his Altaria and Kingdra shiny as well... Not sure why that happens but I thought I'd put it out there haha

Your Pokémon videos are so good!! So casually gathering all the ribbons 🤣

team rocket couldn't pull off a heist like that !

Gotta keep an eye on this one, no one’s Pokémon are safe 😱

great video again, really cool that you managed to find a workaround like this, everything was well explained as well :)

Love this kind of content , my brain just can’t get enough niche information .

I used a GameShark back in the days of gen 1 and 2. I found it kinda funny that by gen 2 if u caught trainers pokemon with the GameShark they would have no moves.

My live reaction to a theft 9:31

I can not believe that you could just bring that straight up to HOME. I figured it'd get as far as Gen 5 but I wonder if its because when its transferred upwards, the met Route data is lost/simplified so Bank/Home can't check if its cheated because it doesn't have a reference if it should be caught where it was or not. Either or crazy video and I can't believe some people would go that far to get a shiny Pokemon. lol

You deserve more subs dude, really cool pokemon content. Hope to see more in the future.

committing identity theft in pokemon

And here I was thinking that "Bad Egg" was just NL in his Psycho-arc. Great video

bro became team rocket 💀

This is very interesting! I'm going to have to watch it a few times.

Haha dude i love your content. Your voice and commentary is easy to listen to. More people should flock to your channel.

I must steal this mans snag-em device

*Enough, you are going to the egg dimension!*

Team Rocket if they were smart:

Back in like 2007, I was playing Emeralds Battle Factory and one NPC had a shiny Croconaw

I wonder if custom e reader cards are possible; if like an entire trainer with unique team could be added, maybe it could work based on the little I know about e reader stuff !!! but I'm not sure bcaus I. Don't know everything about e-reader s..!!

Shiny Salamance colors look like 1950s Americana, like that old seafoam green they used all over. Original Salamance is based on Devilman which I guess is an equally old blue, but for some reason it doesn’t stick out to me the same way the green does.

My brain has been diagnosed with bad egg (adhd)

22 years later... Wow ! I remember getting this game NEW ! I got Ruby Version because I had played a Demo of Sapphire at Walmart and assumed you could only be a GIRL in Sapphire. I remember getting Ruby from GameStop loading that into my GBA and putting SO much time into that game. I still have said game.

My brother, it's great content thank you for sharing

lets gooo love the pokemon content

To protect the world from devastation!

Identity theft is not a joke, sir ToastyToes

Ok but could you use this method to steal items from the battle frontier? Like if you used Trick or Switcheroo to give an enemy trainer a sacred ash from the pyramid, only to lose and then use the latios glitch to switcheroo it back outside the pyramid?

You need to send them to Scarlet/Violet now 😆

"Identity Theft is not a joke, Jim"

You succeeded where Team Rocket failed lol

5:55- Duuuude!!! XD

I recently bought e-reader card Triathlete Natsuko - 020/048 - Battle e Card Series 2 and I would like to know is his OT ID and OT SID. Do you know what those are? or How I can find them

Seems legit to pokehome cause they only check for values regarding competitive battles. It nit legal though, putting it to pkhex will get red flagged, as pkhex checks way more things than pokehome, such as where it was caught.

understanding that ereader support is required for this technique, have you considered using custom ereader cards (im a blisy has some good videos on custom events with these) to change the trainer ID/SID (if posible) and/or add more shiny encounters to this method?

In this household, WE STAN CRAIG!!! ❤❤❤

Can you post a link to the tool that shows the information on the e-reader cards?

dont mess with us XD

So cool!

When I was a kid I got traded a bad egg in pokemon Y. Idk how either

I can't believe my e-reader finally has a purpose lolol

Wait, are the checksums different in D/P/Pt? Cause I never once got a bad egg from using the “catch trainer Pokémon” action replay cheat…

couldn't you just have edited the data code on the cards to make sure your id and the trainers are the same? i have seen an animal crossing video where someone did that (creating his own code he then scanned). that also allows probably to decide the pokemon (level, pokemon, trainer ids etc)

Do these Pokémon have perfect IV’s like the ones you can see in the battle tower or is it random?

I made a bunch of shinies in Pokedex or whatever its called in the 3ds and transferred them to gen 8 lol it's easier than it seems

How does the rtc check ds homebrew app work?

I remember having sooo many bad eggs after using an action reply on my old diamond and emerald games 😂great tomes

I know I am a year late but it there any way to find the Id numbers of non-ereader trainers?

IDENTITY THEFT IS NOT A JOKE JIM

What nature is breloom

Identity Theft isn’t a crime if they deserved it. Keep up the content!

All that for a Salamence in the worst shade of green. =P

Wait Team plasma in BW are knights that steal Pokémon YOURE PART OF TEAM PLASMA, ARENT YOU

breloom is fking sick

If the Pokémon police catches you on grounds of NPC identity theft, just tell them that you were roleplaying since it's a roleplaying game.

Background music?

Identify Theft Any%

Isn't that easier to use a cheat device?

wait so this is not legal pokemon right?

can you steal shiny pokemon from trainers? answer: yes, if you use homebrew to hack the game. so not legitimately? no.

at this point your 'i did not cheat to get these shinies or rare pokemon' claim is dubious at best tho. yes, it is a few steps away from hacking in some shinies. but it's nowhere near as clean as "i caught them all myself"

This seems like team rocket propaganda

I know you mean 1/8th of the chance of a shiny, but "8 times less likely" implies it's -7/8192, which isn't accurate at all. Don't get why people say it like that.
