The Ridiculous Hunt for EVERY Shiny Eeveelution in Pokemon Platinum 

Hey just a tip that I feel a lot of people don't know about gen 4 radar hunting. When you get a shiny patch the chain will NEVER break. It can be an edge tile, 1 away, ect. but it will always generate more radar patches following the battle. The only exception to this is if the tiles it attempts to generate the radar patches in are not possible and thus resulting in "the grassy patch remained quiet" message. So if you are hunting eevee and get to a chain of 40, as long as you don't mess up by accident, if you find a shiny patch you can find as many as you want without the chain breaking as long as you're patient enough to wait for more shiny patches to appear.

The rotom reinactment being a ditto is so funny

Eevee's cry in the "older" games is so iconic. I am actually so impressed by your perseverance! I could not do hours of shiny hunting like this.

26:44 That just happened to be the strongest false swipe in the history of false swipes

Haha woah that’s my old old old radar tutorial you linked! I hope it helped! Glad to see people doing original radar still 😊

Creator apologizes for the video being too long, meanwhile we all wish it were like 4 hours. This one is a BANGER

That false swipe thunder timing was INSANE!

Pls don’t apologise for a longer video. Those are so cozy and a joy to watch. I really enjoyed it!

What a great nostalgia trip! Radar chaining is what introduced me to shiny hunting like 15 years ago. Makes me want to grab a DS, my Platinum, and order some Pizza Hut 🥰 Congrats on the finds!

The journey…the drama of this video (and watching some of the live streams) is just chef’s kiss. This took me back to the trauma of doing this hunt myself in BDSP. So glad this video came out, it has been eagerly anticipated!!

the rotom footage from scarlet/violet had me screaming LOL such a fun vid a thumbnail 🏆

Watching this hunt live made me feel nostalgic for a game I've never even played. I'm sure you've heard it before, but you're genuinely such a talented creator, and I'm so glad to have found your channel. I was never much of a shiny hunter before, but now I genuinely enjoy the rush of FINALLY completing a long hunt. Thank you for helping me discover that part of myself. Once I finish Brilliant Diamond (after accidentally resetting...), I'm going to try to catch up on what I missed growing up by Radar hunting for the first time

So awesome to see this vid, Gen IV radar was how I first got into shiny hunting WAYYYY back in the day! Congrats on all the eeveelutions! Great vid as always, Arlie!

Did my first shiny radar hunt earlier this year after never encountering a shiny in my life of Pokémon games. Got my first one, shiny ralts!

personally i loveeeee longer videos, really enjoyed the full journey with you! although arlie i must take my hat off to you because i would've given up SO long ago so you deserve the utmost respect! and congrats on the shiny eevee family yay :D

Your channel was recommended to me randomly among the other shiny hunters I watch while you were doing your first RU-vid stream. I really enjoyed it and now I’m going through your past content. I’m looking forward to future streams and videos from you!

Love the video and love when you do longer videos! Take us on that journey!!!!

26:40 oh my god 😨 Amazing video Arlie! Great determination too, I would have given up 😂

Wow what a great hunt! Congrats!! You’ve tempted me to do it now 😂 I’m glad the on stream hunts were a lil quicker than off stream! They look awesome :)

Damn that Garchomp attack at 26:44 was CRAZY powerful! 🤣🤣

this was so fun!!! i didn't even notice how long this vid was but now im loving the long style content

Loading up old save files and trying to beat the elite four with your younger self team is always a funny experience. Especially since in my case it adds a lot more difficulty lol

Great video This was so good to watch, Gen 4 and Platinum is one of my favourite games 😊

loved watching this video because i always grew up alongside the eeveelutions and they’re one of my favorite pokémon groups, amazing video and editing!! ❤❤ i really enjoyed and don’t ever apologize about longer videos!! it’s apologizing about enjoying more arlie, and i like watching your videos while i hunt😊

Such a great hunt! Loved how you showed the process and everything, congrats! I would like to give a few notes you didn't mention or missed in the video for anybody who would like to know: 1. Any time you catch a Pokemon in the chain, only the next encounter that is in the next patches shown has a higher chance of not breaking, so some people opt to just knocking out instead of catching, purely up to choice. 2. Whenever you encounter a shiny patch, it will NEVER directly break your chain (unlike in BDSP), so you can theoretically have an infinite chain by getting nothing but shiny patches. (Arlie was nervous each time she encountered a shiny even though she never needed to be :) ) 3. Shiny patches (or other patches that don't show your chain breaking) can STILL break your patch if the Pokeradar can not spawn any patches. To prevent this, never go into a patch that isn't directly touching the 8 patches that would be considered 1 away from the player, that way it can always spawn at least the 1 away patch. Good luck to anybody who attempts to Chain in the gen 4 games! It's so much fun and you should definitely try it if you can!

I love the artwork in the thumbnail! I’m excited to watch your videos ^_^

shiny espeon if u are reading this u are beautiful

THIS IS SUCH AN AWESOME VIDEO ARLIE LOVE U SM

26:42 man that was one powerful false swipe i mean i know garchomp is a beast but woah

Wowzas!! The end was craaaazy!! Nice job getting all those shinies!! :D

the usage of the legends arceus shiny sound triggers my fight or flight every time

The editing quality in your videos are crazy, it almost feels like I'm experiencing it with chat. Keep up the videos!!

26:44 the way the thunder was syncronized with that false swipe

Great video! I can't believe I've never seen your channel before now. I played through Platinum in February and thought I should finally try radar hunting, with 300 hours and two boxes full of shinies I can happily say I've had my fill. This is the exact same journey I had hunting Eevee, never finding/starting a chain, and for some reason Eevee chains would always break super early. I checked my hunting report and I had eevee chains break 11 times, yeesh. I chained five pokemon exclusive to the Trophy Garden (I very casually got six Clefairy, got two back to back, I love those little guys) and I never want to see the Trophy Garden again. So I have eight shiny Eevee sitting in my box needing to be evolved. I loved this video, I can't wait to see more!

Your videos are a pure joy to watch! Now I've got to find my copy of Platinum and start a chain of my own!

26:44 that false swipe animation went perfectly with that lightning it was amazing

I’m ready for Shiny Smeargle to get his time of day! Another great video Arlie 🎉

Whoops, I meant to throw this on in the background while I did other things, but my eyes were glued to the screen 😂 Heck of a first video to be "meeting" you through, apart from the Truegreen7 video that led me to your channel 😅 10/10, dramatic weather and all.

I remember how tiresom, annoying and time consuming I felt it was when I was trying to find 7 "normal/everyday" Eevees 😆 My biggest win in that was getting 2 females 😆 You have the patience and determination of a saint.

I love the longer videos! I can play some pokemon or animal crossing while, its great!

goshhh i luv the eeveelutions so much. I played gen iv (I think) with a whole team of them 🥹

I hunted the eeveelutions on shield and thought I had a difficult time, but after watching this it made my hunt seem like a cakewalk

I just found your channel. Love the content!

Loved this keep it up🩷🩷

The pokeradar music will be with me forever now

I never got to radar successfully but seeing this makes me want to fire up my platinum and try again. Huge congrats on the chains they’re not an easy thing to do it requires a stupid level of focus so I have mad respect for the people that set the hours aside it takes to learn and successfully do especially multiple times

Getting every shiny eeveelution in Platinum is Insane! Congrats on the hunt 🙌

Good old Sinnoh! So many memories getting the standard Sinnoh squad. I remember naming them what I thought they were (I didnt speak english that well back then). My squad was: Vuuraap (firemonkey), Vogel (bird), Gekke broek (weird pants), Bel (Bell), Brock (Like the gym leader) and Draak (dragon). i also vividly remember a classmate of mine got a shiny Medicham, which made me look for one myself! Never found one but thought it was wearing funny pants so I kept one on my team haha

Never apologise for free extra content for us, you’re the best 😁

Only just watched this video and gotta say your shiny luck is insane! 😍

I don't know how you shiny hunters do it. I don't have the time, patience or the stress level to find one shiny. Even though it's not much, I applaud your efforts of hard work, determination, sheer pain and amazing skill. Get some rest. You earned it.

This is my new favorite channel

I was once chaining for Beldum and after finally getting it, it killed itself with takedown and my chain broke. First encounter in my next chain was a full odds shiny beldum in a non shiny patch

Congratulations omgggg first shiny Eevee I resetted for in Pt became a beautiful shiny umbreon

I remember doing this during a road trip to Houston. Once I locked in the Eevee, I literally kept my DS on for 3 days getting 5 shiny Eevee in a row. It was stressful lol.

9:10 The chain broke bc the player has to have at least one active tile on screen; so when only one patch shook, and you ran to the other side it was no longer in view thus resulting in the break. I too found out the hard way 😭

Gaddamn. Great perservence! You going to do radar week coming up?

Whooooo, pokeradar video let’s gooo

The narration on this one was really good given the DS capture card!

When I first got into shiny hunting, I went to get the Poké Radar before I properly looked up the strategy, so I didn't know yet that shiny patches were visually different than normal ones. After the in-game tutorial, I didn't walk into the shaky patch with the four sparkles that Lucious (forgot the english name) shows to you, because the game doesn't force it. Just minutes later, looking at the guide online, I found out that I had just missed the first ever shiny I encountered.

I just finished my shiny hunt for all of the eeveelutions in Violet! Got a few marks as well. Was a good hunt.

I’ll never complain about longer PartArlie content. There are very little content creators i know that provide such positive energy as you do. Love the dedication on the eevee grind too. Nice video and congrats on the shinies :)

One thing I love about Radar is you can get a 40 chain without issue in like say 30 minutes but then the next day it could take you hours. Personally I'd say chaining in Platinum is easier and also way more forgiving than in BDSP. In BDSP I constantly had my chain just randomly die for no reason but from years of chaining in Platinum that never happened once, it was always broken due to my mistake. I also wonder if it's just personal preference that some people catch their Pokemon while chaining as I never did that, only KO'd. Cool wee video, radar is goated, grats on the Eevees!

Hey Arlie! This is a great video, as always. I was wondering what you used to capture the DS screen? I’m thinking of streaming it too!

I know how that is with taking along time with pokeradar(Gen 4) and then getting some super quick took me 5 hours to get a shiny buneary at a chain of 41 but then got 5 shinys after that within 10 mins. Congrats on all the hard work for the eeveelutions!!!!

I love the og game really entertaining video 😼

I did this in the BDSP while it was fun, I hunted a team of 6 and it took 50 hours over a 8 day period. I feel this pain. 😂

My first masuda method hunt was eevee, got it in 41 eggs, evolved it into an umbreon

2:52 Tricked me so bad 😭 I was hunting in PLA while watching this and was looking around for a shiny that didnt actually happen 😂

gen 4 homies

I love your videos they are very entertaining

You dont need to catch the pokemon to chain. You can ko them and the chain will go up.

Watching this video while shiny breeding in gen 2 and yes the eeveelutions are great I breeded for 2 so I could have espeon and umbreon on the team currently going for shiny horsea

Pokemon Pearl was the first time I ever encountered a shiny pokemon. I was in 3rd grade when the games came out, feels so long ago. I found a shiny whooper and I freaked out not knowing what it why the little guy was pink. Lost my original copy so sadly my little guy is forever gone :(

Love the hair at the start of the video

I’m so happy I grew up with this game🐐

As a lover of all things Eevee, watching you shiny hunt Eevee in one of my favorite games brought a smile to my face! Happy to see all the sparkly Veevees! Also question, what capture card do you use? I want to do this myself one day!

I like how the original eeveelutions and their shinies make the colors of the rainbow

Yoo I got my gen 3 shiny Torchic while watching. Thank for the luck ;;

Great content is always.

no need to apologise for the length, fantastic video (also, was that thunder or was God tryns call you?)

very relaxing content, me enjoy

That storm was crazy

Ello didn't realise you uploaded

26:42 that was a strong false swipe damn

oh boi, i feel this XD i have been shiny hunting eevees in Pokemon shield for 4 months now, as the fourth is giving me a run for my money. i'm doing the battle count shiny strategy instead of breeding, because i wanted specific genders for the eeveelutions and i have been keeping track of my eevees through shiny tracker aswell. my first eevee was eevee #493, who i plan to be Jolteon second was #357, who will be umbreon third was #858, leafeon. and the fourth, i am currently at eevee #1772 and STILL going. was doing it all the way through your video XD

Lets fucking go pokeradaring is back :D love this video

Seeing the chain breaking "randomly" and throwing balls at them instead of just KOing them mentally pained me lol I can't imagine how much mental anguish these hunts brought you if it hurts just to watch

What a journey!

U killed that!!

Fire starter!! 🙌🏽🤭

I did not know you could reset Pokeradar tiles if you didn't get a good layout. I screwed this up so bad when playing Diamond and Platinum back in those days lol.

I have a quirky Shiny Eevee from (Japanese) Hoenn I named him Huey. I like naming japanese pokemon in English...it gives the Font a unique look.

My very very very first shiny was a kricketot that I named *Georgie* I played through Pokemon Pearl 10 times before having found my first shiny not to mention that I'd even tried poké radar all ten of those times and no luck

23:29 I'm glad I'm not the only one who routinely took the life savings of that old couple. As a challenge to myself, i spent all my money, then kept fighting them till I hit the money cap. Edit: corrected a typo in savings

Has anyone ever told you that you sound like Hollyhock Manheim-Mannheim-Guerrero-Robinson-Zilberschlag-Hsung-Fonzerelli-Mcquack? Seriously though, this is the perfect representation of how it feels to Pokeradar in gen 4. I go through the motions during my chains.

10:06 Cat! 😊

I remember someone mentioned the Kanto Eeveelutions may be a reference to the RYB colour wheel Regular: Flareon (Red) Vaporeon (Blue) Jolteon (Yellow) Shiny: Flareon (Orange) Vaporeon (Purple) Jolteon (Green)

In original Gen4 there is no difference between catching and KO'ing the Pokémon, in fact with the Poketch app it is determined whether your chain continues or not the moment you step into a patch

You should defeat Cynthia with a full squad of Eeveelutions now!
