I actually did a full odds egg hunt in sun and moon for a shiny rowlett since I misunderstood how to masuda hunt and thought it would work with a same race ditto but since I was young and dumb I did it for over 900 eggs and got extremely lucky and found it.

Getting shiny Pokemon in Legends Arceus is the most fun I've had getting a Shiny Pokemon in a long time. Because most of the time it's accidental, I'm getting what is close to full odds on Pokemon I just randomly pass

@ThedomiNATION 2 года назад

So it turns out I realized I did not include fossil revives on this list! For the most part though I would probably rank it as “Valid Hunting Method” in the older games but in the newer games I would probably rank them in “Too Easy” as they are similar to double encounters in the sense that you can revive MANY fossils per reset in the newer games without having to even check their summaries to see if they’re shiny! Also after the latest update of Pokémon Legends Arceus, you can no longer reset Mass Outbreaks. Because of this, I would not put Mass Outbreaks in the “Too Easy” Tier!

Agreed with a lot of this list, though going over odds on certain "too easy" methods does feel painful, especially things that make the overall odds much better like dexnav. Random shinies tho I think are the most special, in my opinion. Hunting shinies is fun, but nothing gives the shock and adrenaline of finding a shiny when you're not even trying.

The reset odds for SOS chaining only happen in vanilla Sun/Moon! In Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon, they stay at the increased rate. I guess it was a glitch in the originals...?

@jaystar7219 2 года назад

I for one love the mass outbreaks. i totally get the odds are ridiculous, and i do agree they could be toned down a bit, but i find it to be a lot of fun to keep doing the outbreaks and get better at them each time. like, to start you'll mess it up a little, might fight a few pokemon, but later on you'll have it down and get them no problem. Also it's getting a LOT more people into shiny hunting with how quick it is

@isaacgates5859 2 года назад

I actually love the outbreak method. I think they could lower the odds a bit but as someone with health problems that make me tired and lower my motivation, I've found it hard to keep up with harder shiny hunting methods.

@isaacgates5859 2 года назад

@@ThedomiNATION I don't think that's weird at all. I have 12 shinies from this method already and I do think it is too easy.

@britonro7975 2 года назад

I mean, personally, I just don’t have the free time to do some of the harder shiny hubts. That’s why Legends Arceus’ method is perfect for me- it takes a lot less time, it’s possible to run into a random shiny in the overworld (which is super exciting), and I don’t have to spend any more time doing it then I would if I was just normally playing the game

@milesmartin9624 2 года назад

Yeah, plus there's not as much phasing. I'm doing all chain fishing shinies as a longish-term project, and despite chain fishing largely being considered ridiculously easy, it doesn't seem easy when you're on phase 14 for a 5% encounter.' Outbreaks are fun because I don't have to get 9 unnecessary shiny Qwilfish just to find the shiny I want.

@winter_mint 2 года назад

In Omega Ruby I was hatching pokemon to fill my living dex, and so I could get the shiny charm. I was at the stage of breeding the pokemon I already had so I could get their unevolved forms that I didn't already have. I had to breed a LOT of pokemon. I was going in order, so I had already done generation 1, and was onto generation 2. I would put the mon in the daycare, get 1 egg, then put in a new pokemon so I could get the next pokemon I needed. Ended up getting a shiny Hoothoot randomly!

I got a full odds shiny in Brilliant Diamond, a Wooper! However, at the time I was playing in the room with my family, so they got to witness me going dead silent for a solid minute from the surprise before I remembered to actually catch him instead of just staring into space. At my admittedly poor explanation of a Wooper as "he's goopy and pink!" my mom named him Taffy. Didn't evolve Taffy since I like Wooper's shiny better and took him to the champion with me.

@COMETINMOOMINVALLEY 2 года назад

I didn't have Nintendo Online back when I first got Shield Version, so I had no way to trade with other people - to get a foreign Pokémon for the Masuda Method. But I was determined to get a Shiny Scorbunny and ended up hatching one in 41 eggs, it was my first Generation 8 Shiny! In US / UM while I was, technically, using the Masuda Method. I wanted a Skitty to use in my play-through - I got a Delcatty through a trade. I wasn't even trying and hatched a Shiny Skitty on the first egg. 😭

@jeremiahagin2522 2 года назад

From what I've heard the game rolls all the pokemon that you encounter in a outbreak when the outbreaks are generated, making it impossible to soft reset the outbreak, you have to try to keep the outbreak going, which I think is a 50% chance it stays the same.

Me and the missus did SR hunts for our starters in both SuMo and USUM. I could've sworn SuMo was close to 3 minutes 30 seconds give or take and it was BRUTALLY slow. I got Rowlet in 80 hours however my poor partner, didn't get her Popplio until 200 hours. We ended up taking it in turns and were blown away when we checked the time in the 3DS Activity Logs 😅 And yet we were sick enough to still do it again in USUM but they definitely felt faster for sure. Since then however I've been overly obsessed with having both my Living and Shiny Living Dex collections in Premier Balls wherever possible, so I haven't bothered with starter/gift pokemon hunts since. Also I was never super fussed on hunting in Legends, notable again because of the Premier Ball obsession, seeing as they aren't available there 🙃

@celestial_illusions Год назад

i remember wanting to breed a spheal in shield for a friend of mine. i had an eevee egg still waiting at the daycare, so i picked it up to switch the eevee with a spheal, decided to hatch the egg for fun, and boom! shiny eevee. it was with shiny charm, so not entirely full odds but no masuda method.

@ThedomiNATION Год назад

For the full odds Egg Hunt, I wasn't even trying to hunt, I was simply filling out my Pokedex in Violet.

I think there is a method to obtain shiny roamers in Emerald by using a glitch in the Battle Tower. Something like encountering a shiny and then dying to it, and then finding the roaming pokemon guarantees it's shiny.

as someone who has shiny hunted for many many years because i too love the harder hunts, i have many opinions and agreed with many of yours, i would like to share some. ~outbreaks are fun, they are fast but thats the joy because race your friends and see who can collect a large team of shinies the fastest. ~alpha shinies are also a thing in that game, those are much harder to get but they are just resets depending on which one you go for. ~how do you feel about the start reset for generation 3 and 4? they have a chance to give you uncatchable shiny pokemon so id like to know where youd place that haha ~keep up the good work, i watched til the very end and ill give you my sub cuz i love the shiny hunt community

@MrRickyRAW 2 года назад

It speaks volumes that one tier is called “Valid” and you regularly say “this method is fun” when referring to lower tiers. I personally rate shiny hunting methods on fun factor rather than how difficult or tedious they are. And at the end of the day, only the person collecting is going to know for sure (you are an exception as you document your hunts) what method was used to obtain them. I also think that it’s important to consider that each individual hunt can be different and feel more rewarding depending on the circumstances at play. Random encounter full odds shiny doesn’t feel very satisfying but it’s really exciting. But going over odds on my Masuda Deino was exponentially more rewarding to me, it is my favorite shiny. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and I appreciated the very knowledgeable info in some of the more obscure shiny hunting methods.

@ThedomiNATION 2 года назад

I totally agree agree with your statement! I think the odds usually don’t play a factor it’s more of an experience! I simply rated the shiny methods as how difficult or easy they are to perform while also giving my personal opinions on some of them! I will say I should’ve named the middle tier something like “standard” rather than valid but my thought process was calling valid as in a valid way to hunt that isn’t super difficult

I think in most situations the hunting method isn’t worth using as you’ll probably get shinies faster just doing it as we have been all this time. I think I would still put let’s go hunting in too easy though as regardless you’ll only be hunting for a few hours to get a shiny in those games anyway!

You just have to make sure you are in the right file when you pick it back up because slot A is the one that corrupts. It will always work if you are careful, but you can ensure it if you were lazy at the end of your last session by starting your session by doing the corruption without getting Jirachi. Then you are definitely in the right slot abd are good to go

@GiovannisDaedra Год назад

Breedable being the easiest tier makes sense since that is the easiest way to get those pokemon shiny in the vast majority of games. Yeah you get a free haxorus, gible and dratini in gen 5 bur those are locked behind a ton of work and it's still easier to masuda method than to go through all the hoops. The only exception might be gyarados since you can get him with 4 badges in gen 2 and 4 and transfer him up but still imo easier to just breed since magikarp is the fastest hatching egg and is available in most games.

@turtier 11 месяцев назад

My first and only shiny hunt so far was a competitive shiny chansey using the shiny egg swapping method in gen 7. I was really liking the perfect chansey I already had for competitive and I wanted a shiny version of it. Normally magikarp is used because it has the shortest egg cycle, but I used togedemaru, since it has the shortest egg cycle of any pokemon in the same egg group as chansey (only takes 2x as long as karp, so not bad). Its been a while, but iirc, the reason I had to do that was because I didn't have a 5iv ditto with 0 attack iv, only a 6iv ditto, so I think I opted for breeding a male togedemaru with 5iv and 0 attack, and made that the parent, swapping out the ditto with chansey after I found the shiny. And since I was focusing on perfect ivs, I couldn't use masuda method either, just shiny charm. I'm assuming you didn't include this method on your list because its an exploit, but I definitely liked this one, very memorable to me. The chansey ended up only having its special defence iv not being perfect, so I did end up needing to hyper train it, but I still think it was worth it for sure.

Yo perfect timing! I’m hunting for a female shiny Zorua/Zoroark to use on my team in Arceus. After 3 days of no outbreaks I found a male shiny in my first outbreak. I got another outbreak not long after but no shiny in it. If I get a second male shiny I’ll probably just accept it and finish the game, but I wanted to name her after a specific character. This’ll make great background noise while I try to get an outbreak. My personal rating of outbreaks are if you’ll accept anything they’re “Too Easy” but if you’re looking for something specific it’s “Valid Method”. I say this because in only two days, before getting any Zorua outbreak at all, I got 5 other outbreak shinnies: Kirlia (now Gallade), Yanma, Duskull, Mr. Mime, and Chimeco. The day after, a few hours before my first Zorua outbreak, I also got a shiny Budew. This is far and away the quickest and largest amount of shinnies I’ve gotten from a single game.

@AdaptiveReasoning 2 года назад

I'd put full odds egg hunting in difficult and breeding in gen 2 in easy personally. Full odds eggs are annoying but there's some reset hunts with dialogue you have to wade through that give them a run for their money. Especially in later gens where hatching an egg takes almost no time at all and you don't have to fiddle with boxes. And you won't phase, so that's nice. And if you've done shiny breeding in gen 2 you still have to know what you're doing and you can get unlucky, and hatching eggs take time. But it's certainly way faster than a full odds RE hunt, by miles. Fun fact, the free Togepi egg in gen 2 is the only full odds egg shiny that you can hunt, because of how breeding works in that gen.

Personally I'm ok with shinies becoming more common since things like square shinies, marked shinies, and alternate forms still provide an additional layer of rarity that can makes some shinies more exclusive. Plus while exclusivity is a draw for many, I think making more accessible methods of it makes shinies more accessible to the broader player base which imo helps ensure its a feature that won't eventually be abandoned (like with Pokerus).

@ThedomiNATION 9 месяцев назад

@@supersaiyankirby I kinda disagree with this. I feel like if shinies become too common and you need to find special versions of shinies (like marked shinies or square sparkle shinies) then the entire point of shinies to begin with has been lost. I personally think if they ditched the overworld thing, this would make shinies a lot more rare by default (like the older games) but they can also make creative and new shiny hunting methods that raise your rates and make shinies more accessible to the more casual audience. I feel what they had going in the gen 6-7 era was perfect and I hope the next games go back to those styles of shiny hunting! (Also I am completely over the braindead shiny hunting "methods" in these overworld games that are essentially just do nothing and get higher shiny rates for a limited time or in certain areas)
