The Ultimate Shiny Pokémon Iceberg Explained 

Had to fix some audio issues guys! So for those that are seeing this again thats why 😂

Dude when I clicked on the video I didn’t think we’d a be getting a cold case podcast vibe lol

They seriously removed square vs sparkle ?? 😭😭😭 pokemon company totally wouldn’t benefit from an extra year of game development

My favorite memory in any Pokemon game was when I randomly got a shiny Froakie on my first replay of X.

Cancel.I don't think this dude knows what an iceberg is.This is just A shiny facts video

Thanks for inviting me onto this video! Had a blast and hopefully I provided some great obscure facts :)

Shiny Magearna is obtained by having every single Pokémon in Pokémon Home

Here’s an iceberg that goes waaaaaaay deep that no one cares about. In route 44 I caught a shiny Poliwhirl in silver version that was before red gyarados.

11:33 bro Gordon Ramsay would be speechless at that monstrosity

Woo! For those who have Conquest and want to get the Shiny at 13:35. Strap in; it is one heck of a checklist, but once you get it, it can absolutely run the gauntlet with ease. Good luck to anyone attempting it!

I got a shiny Seviper in a horde in pokemon X. It was there with 4 Zangoose who beat it to death in front of me.

Shiny Gengar was never the problem. The problem was regular Gengar changing its color

Great video man! Haven’t tuned into your channel in a while, and I regret doing that! Looking forward to more! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

12:30 The Shiny Munchlax that you get from Ogre Oustin will also have the Crafty/Opportunist mark and the Jumbo mark

13:51 they also changed shiny espeon from neon green to more muted shade

22:40 Actually, Gen 2 shiny pokémon CAN BE female. I got shiny female Shuckle from an egg. The thing is, due to how shininess was determined in that game, some species that have diferent GENDER ratios cannot be shiny and female at the same time. Like the starters. The reason is the same to the Unown limitation shiny forms problem.

22:41 This only applies to SOME pokemon in gen 2, you can get shiny female pokemon in gen 2.

I believe they thought smeargle might look like a grass type with the green.

when i was 11-12 i got a random shiny trevenant in the pelago, failed it, and couldn't get it back. i still think about that sometimes

Modern gengar in scarlett and violet is great. It is NORMAL gengar that is far too desaturated!!! They need to fix normal gengar! I would also add the mousehold line and slowpoke for most hated shinies too

Great video bro

Its about Dam time dude lmaoo

Dexnav and Horde Shiny Hunting are my favorites. I've found more Shinies with the Dexnav and my luck is weird sometimes XD For example; my longest Dexnav Shiny Hunt was Shiny Petilil (which I found after 285 encounters) and Shiny Misdreavus on 1ST ENCOUNTER and I was like "what...." and it's the only that has happened to me. Edit: I hated Shiny Hunting with the Poke Radar which was also present in Pokémon XY, but my chains would never go over 20 because my chain always broke.

One thing I don't understand about Spinda is when people say that their Spinda is a 1/1 billion even though it was a 1 in whatever odds they were working with. If they got a Spinda with the same pattern, THEN they would have that 1/1 billion or trillion chance Spinda. Each Spinda is 1/base or shiny or masuda or radar odds. Getting that copy Spinda would give you that 1/Trillion chance. Unless you play BDSP. Its just stuck in BDSP with no where to go

Great video man

Only Unown I and Unown V are shiny in Gen 2.. Which is interesting because shininess Is determined by IVs......

I remember dexnav hoard hunting. Got me a shiny Numel, Aron, Plusle, Magnemite and Voltorb. Plus they were all full odds so that was quite the achievement.

There are several mistakes in this like the ditto glitch. For that one you only need it to use the move twice.

I've actually picked up shiny hunting since buying a copy of Omega Ruby for the 3Ds because up until now I didn't own a switch ( I plan on shiny hunting in Legends Arceus soon ) I did do horde hunting and so far have two ive gotten from the method, those being a shiny Numel and a shiny Roselia Fun fact: You can shiny hunt the special dex nav tutorial Poochyena its not shiny locked! I shiny hunted it and named it after a dog of mine that passed away in May I soft reseted for it by saving right before the cutscene with your rival triggers so I could just move a tiny bit to trigger the cutscene and get a go at the shiny Poochyena ORAS did shiny lock the Poochyena you encounter after selecting a starter which is honestly good, it would avoid the pain of not being able to obtain that shiny

Being old enough to have found my first shiny Pokemon before there were any methods to improve your odds I don’t like the new methods.

Ok, there's...several issues. I don't want to be mean, but this is kinda my whole THING. As such, I will be putting both corrections, and some additional info, in this comment! Please do not take ANY of this personally. Shiny hunting is a large topic, and I myself am NOT immune to accidentally spreading misinformation! If I do anything wrong here, please feel free to let me know! Chain fishing grants two extra shiny rolls per reel up to a maximum of forty rolls at 20+ successful reels, so long as you do nothing but pull in fish (don't MOVE, don't TURN, don't MISS A CAST, etc.). This grants shiny odds of roughly one in a hundred (not EXACTLY how the math works out, but close enough; it's 41 rolls at a 1 in 4096 per roll). The Masuda Method works with ANY two mons of different regions. Two Japanese mons in an English game will NOT give Masuda odds, but a Japanese mon and a German mon in an English game WILL, as they will in any game. Your video makes it sound like it requires one mon from your game; this is false. There's a typo in the "changed odds" section; it says 1/8196 and changes to 1/4092. Dexnav odds being "pretty good" is...understandable. This one I don't blame you for; the odds calculation is byzantine, conditional, confusing, and probably merits a more in-depth explanation of its own--not a good thing for this format. BDSP has better shiny rates ON PAPER than DPPt for Poke Radar; in practice, getting to higher-chain values is noticeably harder due to the chance of a chain break per properly-managed encounter (again, it's complicated) going up from 2% per encounter, to 7% per encounter--which doesn't sound like much until you actually try it, and realize that the increase of 250% breakage chance is RUINOUS. (Which is a shame, given how much more ACCESSIBLE it is otherwise!) BW didn't JUST start with Zekrom/Reshiram; Victini was theoretically available earlier in the game, if you have the event. It was ALSO shiny locked. The way the shiny charm works is potentially interesting for various methods; it's a flat +2 to rolls in all cases it applies to EXCEPT Dynamax Adventures (which has its own shiny determination, set to exactly 1 in 300 without charm or exactly 1 in 100 with it), which means it's technically less effective the more powerful a method is. It's still worth getting regardless, as ANY little bit helps, though! Your explanation of ultra wormholes is, though likely unintentionally, moderately deceptive. The way you word it makes it sound like you have an increased chance of getting shiny legendaries from wormholes. This is incorrect. Non-legendary Pokemon have extremely high boosted shiny rates from wormholes (as high as 36 percent if you prepare properly by catching all possible legendaries from that color of wormhole and enter the maximum rarity wormhole at sufficient distance), and shininess is determined from the moment you enter that wormhole. Legendaries, however, are still base odds (1 in 4096 without shiny charm, or roughly 1 in 1365 with it) via wormholes, and can be soft reset for within the wormhole due to shininess for them NOT being set upon wormhole entry the way it is for normal Pokemon. Dynamax Adventures being the "best" method for legendaries is statistically questionable. Assuming you can do at least ten resets in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon (for example) for a given legendary in the time it takes you to do one Dynamax Adventure (likely around ten to fifteen minutes--VERY manageable), you can roughly match the shiny rate for legendaries in Dynamax Adventures; however, speaking from experience, even with old-model 3ds consoles USUM takes less than a minute per soft reset, meaning you are likely to find a shiny kegendary faster in USUM than you are in Dynamax Adventures assuming both have shiny charm. This, however, dismisses the possibility for non-legendary shinies, which is worth noting. The explanation of Herba Mystica has the same issue as some other explanations; each level grants +1 shiny roll, which stacks ADDITIVELY with the Shiny Charm. "Doubles/Triples/Quadruples", while true without charm, is untrue with it; it becomes a doubling only with level 3 if you have Shiny Charm, having a total of SIX shiny rolls. Not a criticism, just fun: Munchlax from Ogre Oustin' is the only level 1 mon you can get with a wild mark. Through careful manipulation of happiness in Legends: Arceus, you can evolve it, and then give it max soup in Sword/Shield, to get a shiny level 1 marked gigantamax factor Snorlax. This is the only mon of this type, to my knowledge? (It's especially noteworthy, as you cannot breed Snorlax eggs in Scarlet/Violet due to the removal of incense; you will only get Munchlax. Thus, this is the ONLY way to get a Scarlet/Violet origin mark Snorlax at level 1!) Whether the shiny charm is a glitch or not in BDSP is debatable; worth noting is that it makes the statement of "shiny odds double/shiny threshold is halved" from Grand Underground is (functionally; again, rolls are fun math-wise!) accurate. When it comes to "randomly generated shiny colors", I APPRECIATE the statement of "I cannot confirm this"; I have seen this thrown around as fact so much. I've tossed out a LOT of "this is wrong, that is wrong", but you did a good thing here. Worth noting for "shiny distributions", several gen 2 distribution eggs had increased shiny rates. Likely the most famous one is the Japanese Odd Egg, which was actually not available by default in that version! (Which I assume is why the odds were reduced for the international release :\ ) Not really a criticism--a few of these aren't, actually, at this point--just a funny little note. As someone who likes having its OT on every shiny, the Zeraora event makes me sad. Not a criticism, not even a fun fact. Just me being sad. The "depending on the gender ratio" bit in gen 2 is fascinating; I actually never went around to learning what the odds are specifically, because personally I just use the Red Gyarados sent back to gen 1 to abuse a glitch to get shiny Ditto to guarantee the 1 in 64 shiny odds. (Yes, this works. Google it! It's worth doing!) Gen 2 shinies CAN BE FEMALE. You are referring to mons like the starters, which have gender ratios that prevent shinies from being female due to gender being tied to the Attack IV (IIRC). Gen 3 had no regular shiny hunt methods; IIRC there was at LEAST one event (I THINK a Pichu egg event?) with increased shiny odds from the egg? The Pomeg glitch isn't what you need to catch the Battle Tower mons; in fact, Pomeg berries cannot be used for the glitch in RS due to only being Pokeblock ingredients in that game! The glitch you're thinking of there is the Roaming Legendary glitch, where KOing Lati@s if it was encountered RIGHT AFTER your Battle Tower battle will cause the second slot of that trainer's party to be sent out. Because the Battle Tower (excepting some eReader trainers I think?) uses your TID/SID, catching these mons will not result in a Bad Egg, meaning if you sacrifice your roamer you can get your Battle Tower shiny and keep it too. (First-slot shinies are unsalvageable to my knowledge though--I wouldn't be surprised if you could use ACE for something but that is beyond me). The Pomeg glitch DOES let you potentially put pokeballs into the Battle Pyramid bag, though! The wild mons in the Battle Pyramid ARE catchable, too, if you just have the balls! You have to catch enough to fill your party first, but after that you can send mons to your PC if you catch them. "Fastest starter reset" seems interesting to me; how does it compare to HGSS showing three mons per reset? Not a criticism, more a question. Gen 2 shinies will not have their HP at 8 or 10; it will be 0 or 8. This is because HP is determined by other stats; as Defense, Speed, and Special are all even, they do not add to the HP stat, so only Attack can. If Attack is odd, it adds 8 to HP; so if you roll a shiny with an even Attack it has a DV in HP of 0, while if you roll a shiny with odd Attack is has a HP DV of 8. Wally can ALSO have a shiny in his catching tutorial. Happened to me in an Emerald randomizer; in that case, it was a Krabby. But you can absolutely find video of the Ralts MORE than once. Overall, I appreciate videos like this, but when there's info to be shared, I will notice a few imperfections here and there. PLEASE DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED BY THIS; this is a truly massive topic, and given you seemed to be reading off of something you weren't 100% familiar with I'm guessing this iceberg wasn't collected by you (if not, you did a decent enough job with research all things considered!), but there's doubtless much more that hasn't even been covered here. Fanmade shiny patches for gen 1, new shiny locks introduced to static spawns in SV in the first patch, the reason why Manaphy is even huntable at all--there's so much still uncovered here! Please feel free to keep delving into the topic, I see potential here!

horde hunting is my favorite method; I've gotten somewhere between 40-60

Pokémon didn’t have shinies on release, they started in gen 2

Pretty good video with a global and detailled view on shiny pokemon ! That was very nice to watch ! I have a neat fact that wasn't in this video. One of the rare instances of enemy trainer having a shiny pokemon is shiny Espeon in the battle tower of FRLF. A lot of people know this one. But in fact... It wasn't the only one in this game originally ! In the Japanese version, the Battle tower was a place you build the encounters yourself using e-reader cards of differents trainers. Each one had several different teams depending on the order you scanned them, and you had more shinies that were possible that way ! Unfortunately, since non-japanese FRLG didn't have any e-reader functions, the battle tower is constructed with several of these e-reader trainers, but they're always the same, always in the same order, so we'll only see this shiny Espeon.

If you have the BW2 increased shiny odds as a point on this iceberg than ill be impressed as no one EVER talks about it. The Lucky Power S increases the odds from 1/8192 to 1/4096 (pre gen 6 mind you) then with the shiny charm it makes it 1/2048 ill edit this comment if you did include this lol, it's a very obscure fact. edit:oh hey you did mention it haha.

i have tried for hours with the dex nav to no success. i got a full odds shiny before i got my target

Shiny Squirtle is in Smash as the green alt

OH, I remember now, I have got shiny Zubat!!!

Isn't X and Y the First games you can't shiny hunt any legendary Pokemon..?

Shiny pokemon in gen 2 can be female, how you gonna post an iceberg with false information on it To correct your fact; pokemon with a gender ratio of 12.5 percent female (such as the starters) cannot be female and shiny

Yo no way I love lewa plays

ILCA can patch out the fucking shaymin glitch but they cant fix the shiny charm

Does the ditto glitch work on VC?

Let’s gooo, DOYOUKNOWHOWLONGIVEBEENWAITINFORDIS?

Black charizard reminds of black war Greymon

I hate this video

did this guy just say Ma-Jearna? Hmm maybe the pokemon with a gear for a head is pronounced maGearna

how can u not explain why the i and v unown are able to be shiny???!

MA JEAR NA OH HELL NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Song at 8:20?

Reupload? Correct me if I’m wrong

There are awesome shiny fun fact

FUN SHINY FACTS FOR SWORD AND SHIELD: 1) Since release, people thought the square sparkle was the rare animation, while the star sparkle was regular, but that was actually incorrect! Recently someone discovered that the data mine info was WRONG, its actually the opposite, square is common while stars are rare! 2) speaking of the data mines people got wrong, since release, people assumed getting passed 500 defeats of a certain pokemon boosts odds while also making the aura pokemon more common, which in reality, its actually the aura pokemon themselves you should be focusing! For example, you haven't KO'd a single pikachu, so your "battles" are at 0, what you need to do is fight ONLY aura pikachus, 200 KO's is the sweet spot which boosts your odds, but the max is 500 for boosted odds. Im currently KOing aura Nickit, and im at 200 defeats! Good luck trainers, keep hunting!

Do you have an article about the let's go shiny odds only applying to the next to spawn pokemon? This is my first time hearing that

I found my first shiny in scarlet and violet and almost walked right past it and it was a shiny mareep

@37:20 when there was an event outbreak of Tatsugiri in SV, I shiny hunted the Kitikami outbreaks to find one with the Misty Mark. didn't take that long, funny enough.

No explanation on square vs star shiny? Missed opportunity, the mechanic is easily tier 5 unknown knowledge.

i did the misty mark hunt. got a shiny sliggoo the mist drifter

Shiny hunting for me is boring
