What 1000 Hours Of Shiny Hunting In Pokemon Looks Like

honestly i just wanted an excuse to show a ton of shiny pokemon with cool music lol subscribe for more, scarlet and violet are getting closer 💜

"And i hope to shiny hunt all the legendary pokemon in scarlet and violet" - famous last words

My first legit, non-event shiny was a Bulbasaur in Pokémon Y when breeding for IVs. Was not expecting it, but not complaining. Some other ones close to me are Drednaw, the first Pokémon I shiny hunted in Shield, Regieleki, one of the few Gen 8 legendaries not shiny locked, and Arceus in BDSP.

In Legends Arceus, I was literally in the first mission in the Obsidian Fieldlands for not even ten minutes and I already found a shiny Buizel. Named her Eiko and she was a staple on my team for the whole rest of the main story :) I also got a shiny Mr. Mime pretty early and I’ve gotta say, it has to be one of the most polite shiny encounters I’ve ever had. It doesn’t run away or attack, it just throws up a barrier and sits perfectly still for you. Heck, mine even walked CLOSER after blocking/escaping from a few balls. Tbh I like Mr. Mime a lot more after getting that one in PLA because she was just so chill. Hit like a truck in battles too so I can’t complain, lol

Sylveon and Milotic are just pure love. I can't stop having a Sylveon in my team whenever possible ever since gen6. Such an adorable cute Pokemon, absolute fav of mine

I just hatched my first legit shiny charmander today. Watching this makes me want to continue hunting shinies. Nice collection!

My first shiny was a shiny magikarp in pokemon gold, 20 years ago. Ah the memories

you've remotivated me to play pokemon. I preordered the games but I lost all my motivation but your channel and storytelling are so amazing that I felt like I needed to play again

If you're seriously getting into shiny hunting now, I recommend you go back to gen 6 to try all the different shiny hunting methods in it. And there are a lot! Fish chaining, dexnav chaining, horde encounters, friend safari, radar, on top of the usual soft resetting, random encounters and breeding. You're bound to find a method that you'll enjoy. Gen 6 was fantastic for shiny hunting due to how many methods there are available. I've started shiny hunting seriously around 3 years ago with SH, and this year I've started branching out to older games. I'm both amazed by gen 6 shiny hunting and sort of sad that even tho I spent over 800 hours on my X game, I never tried doing many of these hunts. It's been over a week now that I've gone back to gen 6 and I just can't stop, it's just that nice.

I had 0 shinys prior to this year. In 1,000 hours now have over 700. Have around 630 in Legends Arceus, 42 in Shield, and several dozen in home mostly of Go shinys.

Man your voice is just so great for this style of video. A nice mix of casual and relaxed. And shoutout to thinking Frislass has a good shiny. Still my favorite Pokémon after all these years.

Damn this is really impressive showcase! About two weeks ago, just when SV came out I decided to play USUM again cuz I can't get the new games rn, and on a whim I decided to try shiny hunting Yveltal. I gave up after a few hours, deciding to come back after I get the shiny charm. While I was searching for Yveltal wormhole, I found a whole bunch of shinys, tho those really don't count lol. HOWEVER, while trying to finish the dex, I ended up randomly walking into shiny Raticate and Digglett, which were my first full odds shinys I found, ever. I also managed to find shiny Clamperl with full odds as well cuz I misunderstood how SOS chaining works lol. Right now, I have completed my dex and got the shiny charm. I'm going to hunt for Yveltal now. Your channel has been very inspiring and fun watch while grinding, I hope you keep up the good work and good luck with your future hunts!

the music choices + narration for your videos ... impeccable this might be my new fav pokemon youtube channel

you're so right about how each shiny pokemon just takes a special place in your heart. my first two shinies were an eevee (later umbreon) and a fennekin back in X !! I bred for them and they were probably my luckiest since I got them both in somewhere under 30 eggs each I think. shiny fennekin and its evolutions are my favourite I think, the silver, purple and red combo looks so gorgeous! the rest of my time was spent trying for a shiny vulpix with absolutely no luck, lol. also as someone who's been playing a ton of a different hatsune miku rhythm game recently, that ending... jumpscared me, but in a good way haha

Today I simply typed, "shiny hunting" into the YouTube search bar. I was taken aback by how good this video is. This is the exact kind of thing I was looking for. Thank you for sharing the absolute journey of your shiny hunts with us. You've earned a subscriber. 👍

You are very talented at making these videos, also your YT channel are going up like 5x faster than a normal YT channel, keep it up!

Love your forgotten masterball series, the editing on all the videos to make each pokemon seem so cool and mysterious and very well done. Good job!

7:32 i had to rewind when I saw Sayaka and Mami in a row there just to check. . . Love the Madoka reference haha

I love this video. Shinys are not only collectibles, the moments your capture or encounter them are truly magic. I once was on a pokemon day and got the pikachu there as a shiny. First i thought that was normal and everyone got it shiny, but it wasnt. I was just very very lucky. And even after all those years i still got that pikachu save on my Pokemon X ^^

I can honestly agree, back when I was first introduced to my first shiny, a random shiny sandile, that single encounter showed me that odds can be broken with enough persistence, and honestly lead me to finding more shines alongside that shiny-adrenaline surge... And maybe both forms of shiny goodra (Kalosian/Hisuian) + shiny-alpha-hisuian goodra because of being a wholesome favorite...
