The FASTEST Way to Hunt Shiny Pokemon in Mass Outbreaks - Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

Austin is an absolute legend for helping us colorblind folks. Most people wouldn't even consider making an accessibility section for tutorials like this. Thanks man!

The first time you get a pop-up about less pokemon spawning, it means you've knocked out 25. The 2nd pop-up means you've knocked out 50. Really good for keeping track if your counting is wrong or you just don't want to count at all.

thank you so much man, you got me through sword & shield from start to finish getting the shiny charm - here we go again, hopefully another fun year

Austin, I just wanted to let you know your a positive role model in our home. This is my sons first Pokémon game (after a few years of TCG collecting and playing) and we watch your videos together. We’ve had multiple conversations about how following your passions WITH a lot of hard work and thoughtfulness can lead to success. My 8 year old considers you a professional Pokémon trainer and is coming for your job 😂 Thanks for all you do!

Part off the hype for a new Pokémon game is receiving 200 videos from Austin! What a man ❤

Very useful tip for this and general gameplay Press L to instantly rotate the camera to where your character is facing, you can turn the character round 180° in an instant and press L to rotate the camera fully, SO much faster

A note regarding caves and valleys: Caves and valley areas do decrease the spawn zone but they can also spawn Pokémon inside of walls and ceilings (if you’re in a cave). Though this is something Nintendo or Gamrefreak is probably going to patch up in future updates, for the time being you should scan the walls for any hidden Pokémon and/or hidden shinies which may be inside of the walls and ceilings. You can do this by holding down ZL and simply looking at the wall and moving around so that you can see the entire length of the wall or ceiling; most of the time you can lock onto Pokémon through walls.

Just got my shiny purple dolphin!!! Been looking for Finizen for nearly 30 mins using this method, was about to give up and start over but waited... And there it was! Thank you so much Austin!!

A note that helps a great deal, at least for me, on counting how many you've killed. Your "The outbreak has less pokemon" or w/e message is your 50th, so you can just not count until you see that message, then count the next 10. It's infinitely easier to pay attention for the message than keep track of 60 individual kills.

I love how mass outbreaks are now so much bigger. We use to have up I think 15 in Pokemon Legends Arceus. Now, I think it's up to like 80

i like using the picnic method cause it lets me count how long it took but it has occurred to me that i could just walk away to despawn them. glad to hear that’s correct. also for people who have trouble with counting without getting distracted and forgetting your number (me) i use a free counter app

Thank you for this Austin. I really appreciate how you speak in a regular voice that isn’t obscenely high pitched or cringe inducing. It makes it easy to spend 16 minutes watching this in depth tutorial!

Hey Austin, you’ve been really helpful with my shiny hunting in my violet save file so I just wanted to say thanks. Keep working hard (Edit: That’s a lot of likes)

What a huge coincidence. I was just looking through many videos of shiny hunting in Pokémon scarlet since I’ve reached the end of the game, and you just so happen to release a video about it a couple minutes ago! You’re very helpful, and I love your channel. Thanks!

Dude!!!! I tried your method and in a little over half an hour got my Shiny Noivern - a mon I've been hunting since SwSh came out!!! I don't have the shiny sandwiches or charm yet, so I found a mass outbreak of noivern using your re-set method and made an encounter power 2 dragon sandwich and then, funnily enough, got a noibat!!! I then evolved her and boom!! One dream shiny down!!! Thank you so much for the detailed explanations AND how to change the screen color for better help distinguishing colors. I used to play hockey and got more than my fair share of concussions so I can't stare at a screen for long periods of time without migraines or extreme headaches, so I was worried about shiny hunting when I found out you had to look for them instead of listening. You're the best!!! off to hunt Riolu and Varoom next

Thank you so much for this video, Austin!! It helped me get my Shiny Sneasel! Now I have my favourite ice type and she’s so pretty — I caught her in a matching Heal Ball, too!

The amount of quality videos you pump out is insane. Been getting most of my shinies from outbreaks and this video will definitely help with that, thx for the hard work.

it is really thoughtful and well done you took the time to include others and their vision differences in your videos. You’re a gem and a benefit to the whole community.

this is the best video i found by far. i had a few questions i tried asking on reddit or in youtube comments and never really got answered. this video actually clarified every single question i had. thanks for this!

Did this on a Psyduck outbreak, thanks to my hard save i had a Psyduck and an Azuril spawn at the same exact time. Had to lure them close because if i engaged one or the other the other would wander and despawn 😂
