The Hunt for Shiny Arceus 

bro was so excited that he started beatboxing

I'm glad I'm not the only who catches a shiny and then immediately doubts that I actually caught it lmao

"The event made no sense so let's not release it" 10+ Years later actually lets just randomly pop the item into your room after 100%ing a completely different game then not changing anything else about the original event.

I’ve been at my shiny arceus hunt +200 hours of JUST in game recorded time. A reset takes about a minute or less. I have worked 8 hour shifts of my job with a joycon on my desk just spamming a, pressing forward, a, home, X, spam a. I lay in bed hunting. When I’m watching tv I do it, I only look at the screen for the moment of the reveal, and it’s just become so ingrained into my routine. My fiancé will help me work on it when she’s bored or if I’m getting a shower. I don’t spend every waking second doing it, but there have been weeks where I have come pretty damn close. I have been working at this since it became available, sometimes I’ll stop for months, sometimes just a few days. I’m doing it right now. I didn’t finish Pikmin 4 because one of my brothers started hunting it, and I need to be first. They have given up for the time being, and I am still going. This shiny arceus is ruining my life. And in 3-4 years it’s just gonna be available in EX raids in Pokémon Go anyway. I will keep going. I will get a shiny arceus. Not today Not tomorrow But some day

Correction I found. The azure flute appears in your room as soon as you start a new game. The elite four simply needs to be beaten to have the azure flute activate at spear pillar

Really glad you were able to get this! This is such an awesome shiny to finally be able to legitimately hunt! And these resets are not short, I have done a lot of full odd shiny hunting both in 4096 and 8192 games and 55 second resets can be very draining when you're doing it on one system. Congratulations and I'm really happy that you are so happy, hopefully this experience maybe leads to you doing some even more full odds shiny hunts

what a wonderful video, congrats on the shiny arceus! ive been thinking of starting this hunt myself. also, the way you were taking numerous pictures of your shiny arceus was such a mood

Not too far over the odds! What a flex of a shiny

I've been hunting this guy for a few months now. Its been a longer grind than I anticipated. I've stuck through for shiny Ho-oh, Rayquaza and Mewtwo on HG/SS so I know it's bound to pop before those 3. Ho-oh took years but I took breaks. Mewtwo was a straight grind and took about a month 8-12 hours a day when I had a job doing security. These days I put in 1-3 hours a day.

working on mine now thanks for the video, seeing how it looks to catch him is very helpful!

Dude this video is actually super good!

Slightly over odds is awesome! It looks so nice in PLA!

i had to turn my volume all the way up just to hear what he was saying during the actual enciunter

Awesome!!!

When i got my shiny arceus, it didnt feel real. It felt like maybe i had rng manipulated or cheated in some way, but i hadnt. It was real.

Congrats, man! Got mine at 4700! So, not too far off from yours. I only reset my game 50 times each day.

Been catching multiple Arceus from BDSP and I have learned that you need to achieve 3 checks to activate the event -defeat Cynthia -catch the box legendary (and I mean catch the box legendary of the save, just transferring the Pokemon in from another game doesn’t work) -obtain the National dex (there are at least 33 Pokemon you don’t encounter in trainer battles if you’re speedrunning the game, at least 30 regular Pokemon, the lake trio, and the opposite box legendary (who you can register by talking to Cynthia’s granny))

Commenting for the algorithm 😊

I did the shiny hunt myself after PLA came out, final got my shiny after 10 hours and went to use my master ball. Turns out I forgot I used it already so I had to catch it the hard way. Stalled it out and got it with a timer ball after almost losing it

What an achievement. Congratualations man. Imagine, 4396 times having to sit through a 2 minute restart screen. The patience. How long did this took you in total time?

I cant wait to do this hunt, just finished palkia at about 2900 resets and 40 something hours and dialga at about 6k resets with about 80ish hours. Started giratina yesterday. Once i get giratina im going to play legends and prepare for pokemon god

He does look real good. Kinda want to finish legends so I can go for this guy. I got Kyogre and Giratina already debating on going for Mewtwo or groudon first

i will shiny hunt bidoofs son one day

I found one randomly in an old save file I bought. It was legit I checked the data it was a Japanese movie distribution event. Also shiny mew

this convinced me to start this hunt lol

I recently got my shiny arceus, took me 60hrs

I am now doing my first ever shiny hunt for Rayquaza, currently 4158 encounters and still not :( But after this i'm going for Arceus.

Shiny hunted dialga, palkia, darkrai and arceus successfully 😌

I'm actually considering getting BDSP just to shiny hunt this boi. I already have Legends Arceus anyway.

Mine died from struggle. My new year's resolution is to reclaim my mustard god.

Im currently on a Lil Hiatus from Shiny Hunting Arceus as well and I know when I finally get it, im gonna Tear Up abit!!😅

It took me two

Eh yo 😎

i have a huge love hate relationship with bdsp, i love that nothing is shiny locked but the game itself is not good, overall 7/10 game just for shinies

Is this event still available?

The two arceus pokemon legends human instead of akari and rei its arceus and shiny arceus and you get told by a human that they sent you to the past

At over 20,000 resets for shiny Arceus. I need help

Its arcoos

I genuinely HATE that Arceus boss fight in PLA

Bro 3:49 💀💀💀

The math is wrong or something people keep saying its 1 in 4000 and something but thats not true and can not be true. People saying this are either just repeating what they were told or dont know how odds work. If its 1/4000 just for example then that means when you do it 4000 times one of those will be it. If you go above that and dont get it then its not 1/4000 odds. You should get one with in 4000 attempts if the odds are right..

He’s not that good sorry

Owning legendarys on this games so meaningless Id have liked to allow its golden ark to be constable and Uncatchable

How can you hunt the darkrai and shamin?
