I Created The HARDEST Shiny Pokémon Challenge 

WE'RE BACK WITH GEN 3!! And Scarlet and Violet DLC content is coming very soon 👀 Now answer honestly... which questions did I trick you on? :-)

Also, fun fact about the Relicanth's hexagon: It's body markings are a map of Hoenn, and that red dot points to where the cave is that you trigger the Regis

I've never felt more pride than I did recognizing that Relicanth was missing the red spot

One of my absolute FAVORITE things about Sharpedo (and unfortunately it's something that was restricted to a single pair of games) is that if you use it for Surfing in ORAS, it'll show you actually riding your Sharpedo (including whether it's shiny or not), and actually makes you surf a bit faster

My partner, who doesn't shiny hunt at all, "wait isn't there a red dot on Relicanth????????" Me, a casual shiny hunter, "wtf are you talking about??????" ......

I love how Mimik on the last master question was like, "I win!" when the only thing that she thought was different was the only thing that stayed the same lmao. I love these videos so much

As a Flygon enthusiast, it was KILLING me to see how everyone was messing up on the family line’s shiny 😂

As soon as I noticed Relicanth’s missing red dot made it so much better hearing Tos and Mimiks guesses

With lunatone my thought process was “Salamance and Metagross good, Solrock feels like a shiny that doesn’t change much, so that leaves lunatone”

Sharpedo is an AWESOME Pokémon. Here’s why. 1. Sharks need to move to breathe, sort of, and torpedoes also need to move 2. Sharks are portrayed as objects of destruction, so are torpedoes 3. His mega has like INFINITE TEETH. That’s awesome! It’s because when sharks lose teeth, they have teeth behind their teeth that move into place almost right after. 4. Sharpedo is the Brutal Pokémon, which sounds menacing and cool 5. Sharks are awesome animals 6. At least seven Pokédex entries call it, “The bully of the sea”. Name one other Pokémon that has a menacing nickname. I bet you could but it wouldn’t have the popularity of Sharpedo’s nickname 7. He goes 75 mph. That’s fast which obviously translates to cool 8. When it mega evolves, it can go 125 mph. As stated previously, this means it’s even cooler 9. It defies natural evolution because it’s a piranha that becomes a shark torpedo. I bet you can’t do that. 10. I just really like it I hope this has persuaded you into liking Sharpedo, even just a little bit.

Turns out Tos was only doing bad on the last couple quizzes because they were too easy for his incredible shiny hunting brain

I didn't realize Sableye changed that much in gen 3!! Missed the Relicanth one as well. This was definitely the hardest one so far

Also, the red hexagon on Relicanth is like, X marks the spot! Its markings suggest a treasure map, and that's where the treasure is hidden! Pretty sure it's specifically pointing to the cave where the Regis are since you need Relicanth as part of the whole puzzle to unlock them. Its regular colouration is old and dusty and its shiny form gives the ocean colour. It's such a cool design that I only recently began to truly appreciate.

I love a classic Noki plot twist. Tos and Mimik also being complete troopers for dealing with Noki's master trickery. Love you all❤

Sharpeedo is awsome; rough skin ability, the style, the double typing DUDE. What's not to love

As a sharpedo enthusiast, it’s is one of the coolest water types, with the mechanic in the isle of armor, while annoying, was kinda cool

13:46 I am 100% on board with Tos and Mimik, I was also very confused between Salamence and Lunatone. Metagross' shiny is iconic and Solrock is one of those that you see once and never forget about it, so it could only be those other two options.

I cannot get enough of these challenges between Mimik and Tos, y'all have such great banter and energy. Congrats on the W Tos, this episode was unbelievable haha

Dude I love sharpedo it's literally in my top 5 favorite pokemon, you guys could never understand. I love how he's able to go so fast without even having a tail, and he even got a mega with cool battle scars

Oh man, some of your edits are honestly really clever. The saturation is exactly what clued me in when it came to #6, plus the one before that, and my thought process was exactly what you described when you explained your intent. Leaving a deliberate "tell" like that for a medium-difficulty question is great planning. This is also the first one I've watched so far where I managed to get all of them right! Even though my reasoning on the last one was definitely way off. I was split on question 7, but funnily enough at the last second I remembered that I've drawn fanart of shiny Electrike before, so I knew for sure what that looked like, haha.

AAAAA Relicanth is one of my favourite Pokémon!!! I screamed when at Question 11 because I immediately knew the red spot was missing. I'm pretty sure its supposed to represent a compass, and the spots on the body make a map!

I'm pretty sure the reason relicanth has the red spot is because it was based on the 'living fossil' fish called the celucanth which was thought to be extinct. It was found off of the coast of Japan which is why they put the red spot as a reference to the place it was found

this quiz was SO good! this one was the hardest by far, also the swellow's feet being green seemed so off I feel like a lot of people including myself got that correct from nothing but pure luck

It's so funny that I got the question about Relicanth right for the right reason. He's a Pokemon that I would never have noticed if it weren't for that super random red spot on his body. I'm always left wondering what the hell is supposed to be.

Found this channel just now this is awesome! havent played since gen 3 and got 10/14 feels good to beat a real shiny hunter! excited to watch the rest of these :)

NOKI!!! You’ve really outdone yourself with this one! The snappy intro, the excellent editing, and of course the questions! This is definitely the most I’ve gotten wrong on any of your quizzes, but somehow probably the most fun I’ve had too. And the idea to end each section with the gen 3 pixel art shinies is genuinely genius and beautiful. Well done big dog! Also shoutouts to TOS! I’ve been rooting for ya man, you really deserved a win! Well done!

I’m actually really happy for tos, I’ve been rooting for him ever since I watched the first shiny Pokémon quiz (mainly cuz I don’t really shiny hunt so I don’t know like any of the answers except for the easy questions 😅) so it makes me very happy to see him win, congrats tos!

I knew listening to that read through of Tommy Boy and getting obsessed with the shiny Trapinch line as a result would pay off! 🎉12 points baby!!!

Im so glad that i knew the lunatone one. Makes me feel like such a good gen 3 fan

I am LIVING for Tos’s drawings and I’m glad Mimik got in on the silly little drawings too

“I WON THE QUIZ!” “SHUT UP! NO YOU DID NOT!” I howled and cackled so loud! Congrats to TOS! 😊

Flygon is my favorite pokemon and i'm SO glad that its evolution line was the problem child for these hunters xD

12/14, not bad. The ones I got wrong were Dustox (guessed Surskit) and Relicanth (guessed Gorebyss, damn you red hexagon of doom). Props to Tos on this one, that one Easy question blunder ironically gave him the power :D OK that Castform one was not fair lmao

I knew Relicanth immediately!! Not only am I a coelecanth enthusiast, but also the red stands out A LOT on the original design I was, in fact, laughing.

As an Mandjtv fan I’m proud to say I got the castform one right 😩

I genuinely really like Sharpedo! Just a cool badass design! Like if I had to hang out with any Pokémon from that slide, it would be sharpedo

Dude! I knew Poochyena eyes were blue! I was picturing the sprite in my head! That's not fair! Still got 9 points tho. That Vibrava shiny looks sooo sick too, but I knew it wasn't real :)

Dude this quiz was insane, I thought it was so easy and then the master section punched me in the face. Still got 13/14!! The last hard question and the final one were pure evil! Ngl, was a little worried when I was agreeing with Tos so much, but congrats dude!!

Funnily enough, I was also stuck between Salamence and Lunatone in that one question. I have Solroc's shiny in my head, because (just like solgaleo) it's based off a red giant and this fact has refused to leave my brain the whole week. I was second guessing myself with Salamence cause you said 'be careful'

Somehow I actually managed to get that extra question at the very end XD I thought "all of these look right though..." and then I thought "wait, no way-" 😂

I can't believe I went 13/14! Missed number 7 because I second guess myself but this quiz was so fun! Thanks Noki!

Genuinely proud of myself to get the Tailow one for the exact same reason they did 😂 really love these quizzes, can't wait to see more

The dynamics here are so fun between Noki, Mimic and Tos

Damn i love your quizzes. and mimik and tos are super nice too

always a good day when Nokimon uploads :)

What a cool concept! Was really fun to go through these questions and see what your intentions were behind each one. I got ALMOST all questions correct - except the Master question with Wishcash. My bet was on Anorith. The last one was hilarious😂

I was so thrown off from Relicanth's red dot, I always thought it was an eye and I just thought "yeah that's the correct shiny although he doesn't have an eye"

3:27 the only reason I managed to guess Snorunt was because in my recommended was your “Pokémon but I’m blinded” video, which had a BLUE shiny snorunt on the cover 😂

When a noki video drops you know its gonna be a great day

I was so proud of myself for noticing the missing relicanth spot. I’m so annoyed though. I got everything up until #13 when I thought Kecleon was wrong. I even got the bonus right! Heckin Kecleon. Edit: Whoops I commented thinking it was over before the castform lmao. I thought the rain one might have been fake \/(- -)\/

I honestly was so confused with the castforms and thought it was some kind of spec lol I knew all of them had to be real.

I got 12/14 from just ether owning the shinies or just thinking they looked odd. Got 2 of the sprite ones wrong

That Kyogre in the thumbnail is clean almost wish it was the real deal

Okay but the mini doodles they made were honestly one of the best parts of the quiz lmao 😂 (p.s, i literally threw my sweater on the floor with that castform one)

That was a good quiz I was genuinely stumped on almost all of the master questions

Sharpedo’s flat back is cool to me and using a shark’s existing fins to create that torpedo plus-shape is clever, plus it’s a shark and sharks are cool, plus torpedos are cool, and going fast is really cool

As someone who's only played the old 2d games i see these sprite questions as an absolute win

That fake shiny kyogre looks incredible. It needs to be real. I like the pink of the true shiny but that black is amazing, and it adds to the orca aesthetic.

I literally picked the exact same answers for every question as Mimik in this quiz. Idk how, but the one I eventually picked always turned out to be the same one as Mimik's one.

As someone who used a shiny Dustox in my Omega Ruby team, if I had gotten that question wrong you would never hear from me again.

been binging these. this new one caught me offguard. great video once again, noki!

I’ve never really thought of myself as a shiny expert or anything but I still ended up getting 12 right with the relicanth and sableye being the ones I missed. Really fun quiz!

its funny how i got more master questions right than the medium/hard ones lmao also the troll at the end was hilarious, got me a bit mad but it was genius 😂

Shiny trivia idea, a while quiz where it’s just built on a scatter of regional varients of Pokémon

I ended up with six wrong which is pretty good for someone who doesn't actively shiny hunt. Funnily enough, the Gardevoir and Ralts really are purple in the gamecube games so I think it would be fun to do a shiny quiz on those specifically since most of the shinies are flat out different to their cartridge counterparts.

These are legit so fun and the amount of effort to choose the diff shinies for each q is amazing, please keep making more!

Q12 got me 😂 I coulda sworn it was Poochyena. And missed the bonus question too, thought it was Chimeco. Castform section caught me off guard!

Nailed most of the hard ones just from luck of hyper specific instances. Great quiz!

What an insane quiz. The sprite differences from gen 3 to now is crazy for some and got me triple checking. 10/14 this time round but next time itll be 11+ :) Also congrats tos

Easily my favorite series on RU-vid right now. Keep up the work bro!

Proud to say I got 10/14 and I don’t have the patience to shiny hunt 😂 this was super entertaining!

as someone who watched 40 cakes 24/7 livestream where the bot got like 50 poocheyeans in POKEMON EMERALD WHERE THE SPRITES ARE 2D AND THE FRICKING EYE IS BLUE I THOUGHT I HAD THIS BUT FOR SOME REASON POKEMON CHANGED IT TO RED THIS GAME IS SO UGHUH.

For question 12, when you started talking about how no one would get it right, I was so confident because I vividly remember poochyena's eyes being blue and I was so ready to comment that I legitimately got it right lol

That first easy question almost killed me. I knew it was supposed to be pink, but i knew i had seen this version before.

I knew the last one was a trick question because for the longest time, the weather forms didn't have shinies, but just got them within the past year

Another masterpiece from Noki

Duuuude, this would have been my first perfect quiz if not for the Taillow question! I don't even know what the original Gen 3 sprites look like! 😂 GGs to TOS!

I was surprised that combusken wasn’t used for this quiz. Combuskens sprite shiny in gen three was baller

That Relicanth I swear. I was staring at it the whole time thinking “wait, doesn’t it have a red dot on it? Does it lose it in its shiny? Why doesn’t it look right?” And it was REALLY bothering me 😂

10 points! Seriously proud of myself... though Taillow was a COMPLETE guess, and Sableye I thought the eyes just looked way too vibrant, had no idea he was different back in gen 3! I was down to a 50/50 on the bonus question and panic picked nosepass when the pencils were ripped out of our hands.. so that's half a point right? :) Edit: Totally didn't post this before I saw the cast form question, though I did kinda insta lock D because I felt 100% sure about the top two then just said "Those are grappaloct's colors" about D so, I went with that and said it was the fake one...

I really loved the intro to this vid, great improvement to the series!

After seeing this quiz going back to older quizzes i almost picked Taillow when it showed up again remembering this one

Good fakeout at the end. You actually got me. Gotta say though, LETS GO WISCASH WOOOOO

I love when nokimon uploads it’s guaranteed to be a banger.

I love your videos so much!! You've inspired me to start shiny hunting :)

I loved the RuneScape music choice!

i feel like with the chain fishing method in oras carvahna is actually one of the easiest/most hunted shinies. whiscash and crawdaunt i also thought would be obvious for the same reason

This series makes me want to shiny hunt more so i get better! I also love the sprite questions Sharpedo is a shark, what more do you need?

Surprisingly, I ended up tying with Tos. As much as I love shiny pokemon, the ones I missed really surprised me. Ended up getting question 6 right on a whim. This one was so much fun. I love these quizzes. Can't wait for more😋

Glad I finally won one of these. Came down to the bonus question, but got 11 correct myself

Castform is literally my favorite Pokemon, so when it got to the end, and I saw all four, I straight up thought the trick was gonna be about how Rainy, Sunny, and Snowy actually didn't have shiny forms back in Gen 3 (In fact, they didn't have shiny forms until Home/BDSP)

Work day was klnda rough, nothing quite like a new shiny Pokemon quiz to lift my mood :)

Sharpedo was my first full odds shiny back in the day, I love the design tbh as a cool shark torpedo and the purple is pretty striking.

Mimik kept looking for small details since the very beginning when it was mostly the full main colour palette that was messed with, interesting how different people's brains work

Getting 10 points felt satisfying. Getting the Castform question right felt downright amazing.

Honestly love these style videos and some of these fake shinies are actually so awesome

This quiz was amazing as always, loved the video so much! ❤

On taillow you said "I KNOW the viewers don't know it" but I DID, bro I was like "hmmm I feel like his talons aren't that color..." and I was elated when I found out I was somehow right lmao

I love mimik in the end going “I won the quiz :DDD” “woooo!!”

13/14! I didn't play the Gen 3 games so the Sableye sprite totally got me! Completely heartbroken over no one being familiar with Carvanha's super cool shiny.
