I hunted these Pokemon Game Freak FORGOT TO SHINY LOCK! 

What is the wackiest shiny hunt you have done? and how many encounters did it take you?

Shiny locking is by far my least favorite design choice in all of gaming.

Bruh during my playthrough of Pokemon Sword I accidentally found a full-odds shiny Sizzlipede in this gym 💀💀💀

As a person who spends almost 100 percent of my free time shiny hunting, I hate shiny locks. Let me reset for shinies dammit.

A cool way to commemorate this challenge through nicknames could be to name them after fire-type gym leaders: Blaine, Flannery, Chili, Kabu.

in my opinion, the only good "shiny lock" is in the wild area which prevents you from finding an uncatchable shiny since you can't catch mons of certain levels. but overall it sucks lol. but this hunt is awesome!

Hate shiny locked. Imagine if someone just wanted a shiny only to find out after 20,000+ encounters that it's impossible, it's a time sink you'll never get back.

I’m currently shiny hunting the latios that you get during the story of oras (not the eon ticket). I’m genuinely surprised it isn’t shiny locked and another instance that they probably forgot to shiny lock it (Yes double checked it’s not locked, even saw videos of people get it) but hey I will take it. Wish me luck have to suffer through three minutes of cutscenes and a battle to even check it’s shiny 🗿

I assume they shinylocked because they were annoyed And were like OMG DONT WORRY ABOUT THAT JUST FINISH THE DAMN GAME ALREADY don’t miss out on our cool story That’s one theory anyway Also they want shinies to be saved for something more special like events

Didn't expect the drawings at the end. They look really good! You nailed the art style too!

Oh hey! I actually guessed the shiny Sizzlipede’s nature and Litwick’s natures!!

So glad I found your channel! I have this trio on my bingo card; congrats on the shinies!

I’ve never seen this posted anywhere before, but you mentioned using casual controls and that reminded me of this great tip. While using the bike with casual controls, you travel slightly faster when using the right joystick to move, it is a very small difference but if you are egg hatching I’m sure that it’s a small time save over thousands of eggs. Seriously go try it out!

Oo this set of hunts is really cool, congrats!! That Eldegoss hunt is tempting to try but after a definitely over odds bdsp Arceus I'm gonna stick to mark hunting lol- Got the rare mark on a shiny Trumbeak of all things if that counts as wacky

Whenever your videos pop up on my feed page I feel so proud of how much you've grown! I still remember seeing you reach 5k subs and getting a shiny clone from you on my 3ds. It's truly inspiring to see the amount of effort you've poured into this channel. Sorry if this comes off as cheesy or something, just wanted to send positive vibes :)

The reason why I believe TPC is shiny locking the legendary Pokémon in MSG is bc they want players to pay to raid them or do exclusive quests for them in Pokemon Go. Outside of Japan, shiny Mew and Genesect are Go exclusive and Melton and Melmetal are also Go exclusive. Victini will probably be released at the in person event in Go next February.

Congrats for the trio, especially Litwick! As for Vulpix's nickname, I suggest Foxfire. It has a double meaning, as for English speakers it apparently means the bioluminescent glow that some fungi produce. In Finnish aurora borealis is called revontulet, which means literally fox's fire.

Underated video idea! not many know that you even catch pokemon in this gym letalone that they can be shiny. Congrats to you man!

i’d love to watch you hunt for the bridge eldegoss! i didnt even know it was a one time thing, i caught my non-shiny one and just boxed it lol

No wayyyyyyy I missed you finally get Litwick huge congrats!!

Awesome video dude!! i'm happy to the adressed the mic peaking as i was gonna comment it at the start if the video but never mind lol congrats on the shinies!

The morgrem that jumps from the ledge in the Glimwood Tangle was shiny for me. I was spooked two times over and it was amazing. I’m so glad it’s not shiny locked because that is such a fun memory!

hey domination! love the video, i had no idea you could hunt these lol. pls call shiny vulpix OR shiny litwick "Yokai" i really like the name for either since the shiny ninetales looks spooky and litwick is literally a ghost! also "Calcifer" is the fire demon that fuels howls moving castle from that studio ghibli film, and i think that also is good for litwick. i cant get eater of worlds from terraria out of my head for sizzlipede 😆

You should name the sizzlepeed trigon. There's a kind of blue centipede that has a scientific name of Ethmostigmus trigonopodus and i think its just a cool name! Love the vids!

Thank you to do this hunt. I'm shining hunting for Sizzlipede in the gym.

I tried SOS hunting for a female shiny Saladit. It took several days but when running around to find the first one to chain, full odds shiny Fletchling, go figure. I did eventually get it, after passing over a shiny male.

The mic does sound a lot better in the sizzlipede clip. With how much the audio changes when you move, to get the ideal sound it might be useful to try moving it around rather than playing with more filters. Either way, great videos and enjoying the improved quality all around

just realized this gym challenge was to teach players how to target opponents and allies in double battles… with the prominent double battle gym is Raihan’s which is also in Motostoke gym

I started a second play through of Sword recently and heard this was possible so thought I might do the hunt myself, but as I was going through my first attempt I really questioned if I had the motivation for the long haul of checks without the charm, but as luck would have it on only my third shiny check I got the Sizzli, which is now one of the favourite shint Pokemon I own!

Fun fact, shiny locking was actually introduced in gen 3 on the GameCube title Pokemon Colosseum. What’s more, all the pokemon in the game were supposed to be locked, but due to a bug the shadow Pokemon can be caught as shiny. Funny enough this situation was reversed in the game’s sequel XD Gale of Darkness.

i managed to save a clip of me finding a full odds shiny morgem in the area leading to the fairy gym!! it was so surreal and i still have it to this day! i kept editing this cause i forgot exactly where lol! it was the morgem static encounter where it is just chilling on some rocks

cute little unexpected surprise with the art at the end! i don't know how hard it would be for you to do, but you should probably have the shiny varients of those pokemon in that style. after all, you didn't spend those hours hunting them for a non-shiny to represent them, lol

This Eldegoss was my first shiny in sword and shield. Run into it in my playthrough and was like "wait. Isn't it green? OMG SPARKLES ITS SHINY" 😂

Yo! You’re tier list of how hard it is to hunt shiny pokemon just came up on my feed! Loved it but I had a question maybe you can help me answer! I’m currently at 12.5k resets on Unown ! & ? In BDSP and I heard you mention that those two were harder than others because of number values and stuff. Do you have any idea if that applies to BDSP? And was wondering if you could help me understand what you meant a little more

funny enough i got a full odds shiny on my first shield playthrough. it was a vulpix. very cool

This video was awesome and as a shiny hunter myself I just recently finished getting all of gen 1 minus the birds mewtwo and mew shiny and gen 2 minus Lugia these hunts are awesome to do I also own over 500 unique shinys and close to 1000 with duplicates

Here's a nickname suggestion you've probably never gotten: name the vulpix/ninetails "Api Biru". It's a name for blue lava. The blue color is caused by sulfur mixing with the lava. It's from a volcano in Indonesia.

You should name the Vulipx Asteria cause its based on a kitusune and I think asteria is the name of a mythical fox (Congrats on the shines!)

Wisper for the Ninetales? Like a fire wisp and cuz its ghostly coloured so wisp of a ghost too

Dude you should name the Sizzlipede “Pseudo shiny charm” or “Pseudo shc” or something among those lines, That was insane!!

It’s always so nice when you watch a new RU-vidr and they don’t have an annoying voice thank you!

im ok with shiny locking but just for the pokemon that there are just 1 like legendaries and most mytics but i think they should put a option where you can find em like "hey all pokemon can be shiny but these cant so we created the shiny version... now go trough an immense labirinth just to find 1" that way would be cool (the location and the maze would be randomized every time and you would be able to only see the path you are in)

I remember, my first playthrough on shield I got a shiny sizzlipede in the fire jym!

I actually got a shiny Litwick from this gym while doing a Nuzlocke of Shield.

Currently hunting sizllipede through eggs so great job on the shiny finds

"Blue lava, also known as Api Biru, and simply referred to as blue fire or sulfur fire, is a phenomenon that occurs when sulfur burns. It is an electric-blue flame that has the illusory appearance of lava." For ninetails if you evolve it. I recomend Ari biru bc it sounds cooler.

Guinevere for the ninetails! My male one is named Lancelot!

Vuplix is one of my favorite pokemon because its evolutions shiny is so pretty 😭

I did this hunt in my prof oak challenge! I got Sizzlipede in about 200 encounters and I'm very glad I did cuz I'm not the most patient for full odds hunts XD

“I took a screenshot at the wrong game lets gooo”

The first shiny I caught in shield was in the first gym, it was Sizzlepede I was not expecting it he has a special place in my heart.

The Dedication bro❤❤❤

me, an egg hatcher, watching other players hunt for 1 shiny every so many resets while i hatch at least one after every sandwich:

lol on my first play through, I randomly got a shiny Sizzlipede in the Motostoke gym. Was the first time I had seen it I think too, so I had to double check and see if it was shiny.

well done sad to see such bad luck getting that litwick

Are you playing the same file on two different switch?

The gym trainers: “wow this guy is really bad at this gym challenge”

I actually randomly encountered a shiny litwick in the motostoke gym on my second playthrough of pokemon shield!

I know I might be late, but i think Cinder would be a good Shiny Ninetales name lol

My first full odds shiny in sword was the litwick in the fire gym, without a doubt the most shocking random shiny I ever caught.

The first thing that pops in my head for Vulpix and ninetails is Kyubbimon since both are kitsune Just recently hunted Xerneas in ultra sun got it in only 578 SR

if you end up turning the vulpix into a ninetails, Shinetails is a funny name, if not, then Spiltendz is also an idea which works for either.

hahaha I caught this shiny sizzlipede in this area!

if you are planing to evolve it, name it willow, it sounds like will-O-wisp and willow trees are a somewhat similar color to shiny ninetales, also if you burn wood it becomes charcoal and it fits for a shiny ninetales a ton

Closest I’ve had to a unique shiny hunt was when I hunted Hisuian basculin. Those things run away so fast… I’ve never successfully done a soft reset hunt. If I do, I’m thinking I’ll do it for an ultra beast like Buzzwole.

Tsubaki, A name for vulpix. She's a witch from an anime called inuyasha LOL

The shiny locks in SwSh are very dumb and weird in a lot of the cases, like that Corvisquire you mentioned. But they didn't shiny lock both of the new Regis and the two Mushroom Impidimps in the Glimwood tangle. Since they are both static encounter hunts the shiny charm doesn't work for either hunt and they're more commonly star

You should name your sizzlipid Scourge

Sizzlipede strikes me as a Larry for some reason For the vulpix (future ninetails) I think Naori would be a good name.

I think a good nickname for the Shiny Vulpix or future Shiny Ninetales could be Silver. Because to me, Shiny Ninetales reminds me of a silver colored flame or fire. 😊

You Could go Andromeda for the Ninetales when you eventually evo it I’ll let you use the nickname idea if you feel like it

never forget the squakabilly on your house gamefreak shinylocked

The name for the Vulpix could be Hana which means flower in japanese

Huh, TIL that the gym pokemon aren't shiny locked. I hadn't even considered before if they could or not, but that's cool.

Use the Vulpix Name Embra, Sizzilpede Skortcher, and Litwick Candgirl

My longest hunt was with Yveltal in Pokémon Ultra Moon with over 4200 SRs but I also got it. Then after that I had hunted Kyogre and got it after 10 SRs and then I did Mewtwo and got it after 10 minutes after Kyogre and all in Ultra Moon. So that means 3 shiny Pokémon in one day. But I sat with Yveltal for over a week. And what was also crazy was a random shiny joltik in the sword and shield. I hadn't seen the little joltik in the grass and I accidentally walked in and it was the first joltik and it was Shiny. I just said when I saw it, "Wait, the eyes look strange...Is it shiny?" and exactly at that moment the shiny animation showed and I half freaked out because I had already gotten a shiny rook idea at the very beginning of the game after 162 SRs.

plans for the gen 7 living dex vídeo?

Fun story: I thought they had forgotten to shiny lock story encounters in Sword/Shield because on my first play through I actually DID get the shiny Eldegoss! Should have googled sooner, I got around 2250 resets on eternity’s before I finally searched it. What an idiot I was to hope they had overlooked/decided not to shiny lock 😭😭

I actually was playing through sword a second time and got the shiny litwick during the fire challenge, I was so surprised

I did a swsh nuzlocke at one point (maybe december 2020?) and just randomly got a shiny Sizzlipede just doing that challenge normally LOL. I was so shocked!!! I didn’t even know they could be shiny!

i had no idea about the corvesquire or eldegoss

First off, great finds you got in the gym. And second, I agree, the Shiny Lock sucks. Scarlet and Violet locking all the Bosses, Gimmighoul, and Gift Pokemon is bad enough. But locking all the past legendaries in the DLC is Xrta Bad. Also just like the games, they're bugged and don't have the 3 random 31 IVs they usually get. If it weren't for the Story, Boss Battles, and Shiny Mark hunting the Starters and Alola Forms, Sword and Shield's DLC would be (and even then maybe is) a better value. Not to mention being 5 dollars cheaper and way less buggy.

Name suggestions Blazeful for vulpix (if kept a vulpix) Spirit for vulpix (if evolved to ninetales)

My first shiny was a sizzlipede from the fire gym.

1:15 This is actually where I got a shiny Sizzlipede on my first playthrough! I think it was my first shiny of the game

No. He's not exaggerating when he says this, ya'll. I just googled the list and here's the details: Shiny Locked; Galar: Galar Starters Leon's Charmander (Post-Game Reward) Type: Null (Battle Tower Reward) Daycare Toxel G-Max Pikachu and Eevee (Save File Rewards) Zacian and Zamazenta Eternatus Isle of Armor: Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Kubfu, and Porygon (Isle of Armor Dojo Rewards) Fields of Honor Gifts (Rewards for finding all Alolan Diglett) Crown Tundra: Keldeo (Unite the Swords of Justice and cook a meal) Cosmog and Poipole (Dynamax Adventures Rewards) Galarian Zapdos, Moltres, and Articuno Calyrex, Glastrier, and Spectrier But sure, some random Fire Types in a gym challenge are not Shiny Locked. P-P

You could name the Vulpix Foxsune, the Sizzlipede Bacon, and the Litwick Wisp.

A good name for Vulpix would be Volpina it’s a mix of vixen and small fox in Italian. Or Kitsune it’s the trickster fox yokai spirit

I actually got a shiny Litwick from the motostoke gym. Scariest catch of my life

I never really did a shiny hunt but i did outbreaks

Shiny locking actually started in gen 3 with XD gale of darkness

I think an amazing nickname could be “Greyhound”

My shiny ninetails is called Tamamo like tamamo no mae the ninetail fox sealed away until 2022

Fun fact i am probably the first person to shiny hunt all 3 of these gym pokemon in one save file. It was mainly an accident as I was only hunting for sizzlipede but got it last. I did this back within a year of games release.

I actually got a shiny vulpix in the motostoke gym it was so random and I was insanely shocked

Amaterasu would be a great name for ninetails

Why is the sizzlipede so damn round lmao

Hopefully they don't shiny lock the starters in the new games. But with their current track record 😅, I have a feeling they might. Also, funny story. Back when x and y first came out. I spent almost a week shiny hunting for yveltal 😅. ( Congrats on the shinys btw )

Imo the shiny vulpix should be called liath (gray in irish) if it gets evolved into ninetails

Maybe it’s just me, but I would recommend going back to older generations that need Pokemon bank to transfer, and catch all the Pokemon again, since Legends ZA and further generations with probably have regional forms and evolutions.
