I Hunted for 100 Hours in Dynamax Adventures 

I wholeheartedly agree, 75% of rental mon are pure garbage. Combine that with an AI sharp as watermelon and you get why Dynamax Raid are soo annoying

I gotten the all the shiny legendarys in DA and one thing I’ve learned is to take the worst Pokémon so the AI can’t suck, sometimes it’s better to pick the path of least resistance vs the better Pokémon for the end, and wide guard is king. Also if u are playing solo turning off animations can save several minutes each run. Happy hunting

God, seeing this video rejuvinates me. I've been trying to find Shiny Giratina in 2023. But its painful since its hard finding teammates. But seeing fun YT content on it is motivating! Maybe I'll give it a go again, see if there's more I can do to keep hunting efficiently! EDIT: I've been casually hunting Giratina since October and finally got it a month later! Throwing good shiny luck to you, passerby reader!

Causally doing only Latias raids during the pandemic, had no clue what the odds were to finally find a shiny latias on my 100th encounter then would find shiny Xurkitree 5 encounters later. The odds in this game are certainly something else

I once got a shiny moltres in around... 3-5 raids, causually hunting for it. Surprised me too. It was the day after galarian moltres ran into me on accident and i caught it in a premier ball, along with my moltres

Doing this for a while did teach me that the most doable solo DA (that I tried, at least) was Pheromosa, since it’s squishy enough to die pretty easily no matter what kind of horrible decisions your AIs make. It has a REALLY pretty shiny too, but sadly I’ve yet to get it :( (I’ve only gotten 5 total shinies from these, but tbf 3 of them were without the shiny charm)

I've done a hunt for Guzzlord what feels like Ages ago now in DAs, and it was rough. I had the Shiny Charm and got like 6 shinies i think before getting my glorious Cheeto covered Alien. Definitely would only recommend it for Ultra Beasts/Pokemon you can currently only hunt in it if you don't have a New model 3Ds to hunt them in USUM, because without that the reset times suck lmao, so at least you'd be doing something. Also I did a few DAs with my mom and managed to actually do 1 group DA ever irl. Regardless of the shiny odds or even if I got really lucky I wouldn't recommend it as a hunting method rather then a "do this with friends for a bit and see if you get something cool out of it". Basically the best way to do it

I love your videos :D Amazing to listen to while shiny hunting

The bad thing is, this is the only way to get shiny zygarde!

6:20 spread moves don’t spread out the damage equally, they deal either regular damage when used against a single target and 75% damage when used against any more than one target Also when I beat zygarde I just skipped phase 2 by killing it before the end of the turn with triple axel hitmontop and a froslass

I am attempting Lunala right now, and with a 4x dark weakness, as long as I cultivate getting a dark move for myself, I can pretty reliably beat it. And goes much quicker than with people since animations are off. And even then, a lost den isn’t truly a loss because the other 3 mons could still be shiny

you do a amazing job, Trails thanks for the videos

During my hunt for Ho-Oh I learned that Relicanth is a god

the sub button lighting up is what got me to sub. never seen your vid's before. was going to sub at end of the video anyway. but knowing that made me do it right away. love the vid

Great video! I was glad to be there for some of the shinys even though timezones suck lol

After getting ever Legendary from Max adventures, I found doing them by yourself was usually the way to go. Tapu lele was the shortest at 3 raids, then there was Latias at 345 encounters. Xerneas was a nightmare though in comparison though it only took 340. Zygarde also wasn’t too bad at 27.

I've been hunting my boi Giratina for 3 years. 0 phases, 0 shinies. Have not found a single shiny from Dynamax Adventures at all. I'm almost convinced that my copy of Shield is broken.

Great video like usual Trails. Wish me luck on my Rowlet Shiny hunt

The only shiny Legendary I have in a Dynamax Adventure is a Shiny Tapu Koko and still my only shiny Legendary to this day

This video sparked my interest in dynamax adv. Hopefully I get a shiny Celesteela at last!

ive been hunting bellossom for 3 months now, congrats on getting her!

Amazing video, but on the rng/difficulty side of the adventures; I only do da's solo, got like 500 hours in them. I usually get like a 80-90% winrate on moderate difficulty bosses and almost always win on easy ones like the tapus and ultra beasts, cant be bothered attempting zyguarde solo lmaoo. you can get very consistent with winning even with bad rng.

Bro your comedic timing is impeccable

I just want to say this...I have a bit more than half of all Dyna adventure pokemon and I've done all without real people (With the exclusion of joining certain peoples adventures to get exclusives) And might I say. Holy shit. My sanity is gone

i originally planned to shiny hunt here but that basically never happened. So ive returned to this game recently. This video was interesting to see it was still quite recent!

Obviously there are some exceptions like Zygarde and Kyogre, but most legendaries are easy enough to hunt for solo imo. The AI will repeat their picks exactly on each soft reset provided that your picks don't change, and with a couple resets you can optimise a consistent route if you think there are good enough picks overall in that route. Imo it's worth soft resetting and paying the ore tax if you find a good, consistent route, and playing solo with no animations saves sooo much time. And if you're hunting something in a rare ball then you might as well find a good route since you'll need to soft reset anyway if you want to keep that ball.

Ah yes. Dynamax Adventuring. I remember when I played through this for so long. Getting all of the legendaries in that game. Even the ones I could only get if I had Shield. It was fun but also struggling when you have to get that specific legendary pokemon. But it was worth it!

I did that too with suicuine and i still reget it. It's my favorite out of the legendary beasts. But i feel this. I went for tapu lele and she was a pain. Her sister tapu fini was nicer. I already had an event shiny tapu koko and i couldn't be bothered for tapu bulu

I remember grinding this as well as while back and might even come back to it soon. I think I've gotten roughly half of the shiny legendaries as well as lot of other shinies, including sometimes 2 or 3 of the same shiny pokemon. On one occasion I also got 2 shinies in the same run, Skunktank and Thunderus. I took the Thunderus

I happened to get a Cryogonal with Levitate during the run-up to Zygarde and destroyed with 3 or 4 hits from Cryogonal. It was too hysterical 🤣

Shinies in this video from DA in order: Cofagrigas, Bellosom, Beartic, Mr. Mime, Lilligant, Glalie, Raichu, Wheezing (Galar Form), Perrserker, Rayquaza, Swampert, Doublade, Fraxure, Manetric. Total Shinies: 14 Regular Shinies: 13 Legendary Shinies: 1

This gives me the motivation to hunt zygarde. Then i remember that its zygarde and you can barely get 1/4 runs complete even in a full squad

We should have Tera raid adventures for the upcoming part 2 of the dlc so other legendaries can return and maybe special mythical events and making them shiny huntable (not even a word) for a limited time.

I've gotten some cool shinies off DA but it's just sad when comparing it to the hunting in USUM. I did a dual hunt on US and Shield and by the time I was almost to odds (1292/1365) I was only through (33/100) for DA even though I was clearing it consistently

I played this a bunch when it was new. Only got one shiny, a Heliolisk. But i decided to boot it up the other day and I got a Ho-oh after only a few hours!

i personaly love the gmax and dynamax move animations cuz some of the look nice

The only issue with shiny hunting scarlet and violet is the shiny locked bs now I’m playing bdsp and have to start sword dlc dynamax adventures to get shinies and I also want non shinies as well like Galarian birds both forms.

i got all my shiny legends in solo das and my list is: zygarde, kyogre, groudon, reshiram, latias tapu bulu, suicune, entei, raikou, ho-oh, lugia, rayquaza, dialga, creselia, palkia, uxie, mesprit, azelf, tornadus, thundurus, xerneas, tapu koko, pheromosa, necrozma and stakataka and the ones missing are: a second zygarde, a second thundurus, kyurem, zekrom, solgaleo, lunala, tapu fini, tapu lele, katana, buzzwhole, nihilego, xurkitree, celesteela and guzzlord so i know how hard it is to get them all but when you know all the little tricks and every thing you need to know about this mini game its super easy

alright fine, I'll replay sword and shield

Not too bad! I wasn't keeping track, but in an average amount of attempts, I've gotten 4 shinies, Piloswine, Charmeleon, Uxie, and Arourus (also a Regieleki in like 6 resets, and that's all 5 I've ever gotten in gen 8)

My first ever DA was a shiny mesprit :d

The man, the myth, the rowlet, is back!

Not looking forward to re-attemping hunting Solgaleo. The AI just can't fathom Full Metal Body blocking stat drops...

I shiny hunted Groudon for a week, doing like 5-6 raids a day. Finally got it and transferred it over to Violet. Thinking of doing Lunala or Dialga/Palkia next

I know the feeling of losing sanity. I have been doing solo for so long have all of gen one legends took me a 175 for aticuno. And so far i am almost at a 100 raid for raikou

Some noteable things during the DAs was me naming shinies I get after other viewers of the stream, as well as me playing the shiny sound

Honestly im glad you didn't get the pain OF GOING TWO YEARS without shiny tapu fini. I hated that hunt

I tried to get shiny ray for about 20-30 hours. Then i lost my save file. Im back in the dmax adventures cave with rayquaza as my first raid. But I dont have shiny charm, so im working on catching everything again now 😅

13:23 i was playing PLA at the same time and i thought i've found my shiny alpha Porygon

i have never seen this feature (the sub feature) maybe cuz i usually watching on mobile and full screen.... but that is amazing non of the less.....

Your vids>any other video (your vids are the best)

My shiny Zygarde came from my one and only solo run that was result of my internet cutting out momentarily. A true blessing in disguise. Initially I was bummed because the outage caused me to miss out on an Alolan Marowak. Since it ends the battle without the chance to catch. But, the end result more than made up for it.

I’ve ran through dynamax adventures a bunch. They’re kind of fun, it’s definitely worth it when you find a shiny after suffering with the ai lol

Gotta go for a pokemon with Wide Guard against Zygarde. I love my toothpaste dragon.

Years ago I lost my legendary Pokémon collection so I played around 90 hours catching every legendary for my collection and got around 3-4 shinies base odds

19:02 to 19:17 Me when i was hunting starter fenniken in X. Took me 5 months 23700ish encounters

Rayquaza was the first shiny legendary I found in DA too.

Starting with guzzlord is neat because I've beat it 100+ times with no shiny yet

my first two shinies were back to back legendaries on my first 3 raids

Im sitting at around 100 runs without any shiny 😢 i was wondering if they patched the chance... But this video gives me hope. I guess ill start a new try on weekend. Cheers mate😊

I’m very glad I got to participate in these

Lmaooo seeing this video, I’m glad it only took me 4 days total get shiny rayquaza and along the way also got a mimikyu and an eldegoss :,)

bracelet is the reason the nohorny meme exists

the buttons don't glow because I'm already subscribed and liked :(

I find it like ironically funny ig that I'm seeing this now, and seeing his first shiny be Cofagrigus. I find it funny cuz I didn't know the shiny odds were far better in the dens, and also because my first shiny from it was a Starmie that I almost skipped over. And yes, I had the shiny charm

Praying you have a quick recovery from this torture

I consider myself the king of dynamax adventures. Not just because of how i do dynamax adventures, but my luck with shinies. Ive developed multiple strategies for the paths that depend on the type of the final boss. 1. (If the legendary is a ground type, only go for any ice types. The only 3 ground types in max lair are Groudon, Landorus and Zygarde, all weak to ice. Etc etc.

Subscribed because of the poke rap!

I cannot believe I found this video! It’s so relatable. I spent probably the same amount of time 100+ hours looking for a shiny Rayquaza. FINALLY found one. I was done with the game after that. I wanted a shiny Ho-Oh and Raikou though

That Tsareena is a bit SUS ;)

Yoooo, cofagrigius was my first shiny in sword and shield, and I kid you not my younger self said these exact things “I’ll take the Latios if non of them are shiny”

I remember after like 4 months of playing whenever I could with just the AI (I didn’t know I could que online 😭) I finally got my shiny zyguard and I know the shiny rates are pretty high but still I wanted to scream and dance

My first ever adventure thing I got a shiny mewtwo and went crazy

Ironically i too returned to dynemax advantures and got my self shiny uxie. Anf now im hunting for shiny girathina.

10:26 that wartortle looks shiny

I got a shiny lugia and zekrom from those

i’m glad my pokémon sword character made the video w video btw

Every time you edit in the shiny sound makes me nearly have a heart attack lol, good video but will you pay for my medical fees, I feel like they're on you /j

I still have never gotten a shiny in Shield, except the Shiny Zeraora mystery gift

I got shiny zygarde the other day from da im still sorta in shock I’m never gonna do zygarde again

I sunk HUNDREDS of hours into Shield. Most of it in Dynamax Adventures. I've found 1 shiny legendary, an Yveltal found one night when I couldn't sleep and decided to do one adventure... I was never so happy to struggle to sleep in my life

When I made a new account to do a rerun of Sword to complete my main account pokedex I did one dynamax adventure to get a legendary to carry me through the game, and somehow managed to beat Zygarde in one attempt with only bots.

Hoping that gen 9 has an actually good method to hunt the legendaries cause I am never doing DAs I refuse to do that horrid method

Despite not getting a shiny I got so lucky when I got an npc to spawn hypnosis and dream eater

This is an accurate depiction of DAs lmao

It’s so ironic that his first shiny in dynamax adventures was cofagrigus becuase that was the same first shiny I got from dynamax adventures as well

with DA, I found shiny zekrom within the first few days of me trying and I found shiny buzzwole completely by accident while grinding dynite ores in random battles, my little brother also managed to get a shiny latios and giratina

I agree with shiny odds. On pokemon go the full odds shiny odds for eevee is 1/500, and I'm at around 410 not shiny

You should try Dynamax Adventure Speedruns at some point! I’m actually the guy who suggested them as a catagory!

I’m so excited to watch another man get cool different colored animals!

You can say what you want about Gen 8 but one thing that can be agreed upon is its soundtrack is an absolute banger

Crazy? I was Crazy once… -Said by a very wise man

I was just playing violet and this video popped on autoplay, so I watched it and thought to myself ¨It would be nice to play Shield and get a random shiny from de DA¨. Thanks to you I am the happy owner of Mango the shiny Ho-oh. That I got in 5 tries :0000.

Whoa the Like button doesn't glow but the Subscribe button did! Cool!

The dunamax adventures, while being inefficient compared to SV in shiny hunting, is still relevant though because its one of the few places to shiny hunt legendaries effectively. 100 hours for a shiny legendary isnt as bad as a soft reseting for one roll in a 1/1300 odds. Ive seen players soft reset for some legendaries for months. Its even more relevant now because SV legendarues are all shiny locked. Including new dlc.

@Trails Pokemon rowlet Community day in pokemon go in January

I've been hunting lunala for over a year now

Are people still playing DA? I got back onto it a few months ago but figured everyone was playing Legends Arceus or S/V by now 😅. I'll have top hop back onto Shield!

i caught a shiny latios from this one day from being bored lol

Why did you do this to me…a sus moment is bad enough, wait, DONT BRING THE CAR KEYS!
