You can see the sheer effort that went into the making of this video. Thanks for taking the time to make the ultimate guide - everything I could think of is covered and there is just a TON of super helpful information there. For me personally, I loved the part about what to do before hunting, genreral info, infos for nerds and the part about the Radar. Cheers bro - this is a milestone for the shiny hunting community.

Fantastic video as always! Some minor things that I'd like to point out: 18:22 You can also get a hidden ability patch with shiny sparkles, so there are technically four patches. It's super rare, but it does occur 29:30 If you want to go for one specific mon and don't care about the others, you can do some optimization here. Get as many slates as you can (I have ten right now for my Latias and that's plenty IMO), catch the mons that you won't be targeting (in my case, that was Latios) and then save right before inserting the slates. Now you can run from the legendary if it's not shiny and just insert your remaining slates one by one to get more encounters, which is definitely faster than soft resetting after every encounter. I haven't timed it yet (and the fact that you have to grind up some slates in the first place also needs to be considered), but at the very least, this method has a much better flow IMO. 29:59 On the matter of levels, it's worth mentioning that your active pokémon should absolutely be a higher level than your target because ever since SW/SH, your catch rate gets *destroyed* if you're underleveled, even if the level difference is minimal. 30:07 Not really relevant to the shiny-hunting process, but do keep in mind that you cannot remove hidden abilities. Ramana's Park's Suicune, for example, will forever have Inner Focus instead of Pressure, which I found out the hard way. 35:08 This route is not optimal - going diagonally is considerably faster than going up and down in a straight line in BDSP. Floaroma Meadow comes to mind; I'll come back to this comment if something truly optimal is found. Of course, going up and down does have the benefit of requiring next to no attention, so it's not useless or anything, just suboptimal. All in all, I really love this video and will be posting it whenever appropriate!

Thank you so much for the detailed comment Bnoopy! Really glad you enjoyed the video as well! I didn't even think about the multiple slate method for Ramanas Park, definitely sounds like a great solution (kinda similar to the fossils where the more you have the faster the hunt will be). Will def use that for future legends hunts! All very solid points!

I'm speaking purely hypotheticals here, as I've yet to do the hunt myself, but isn't it possible to fill up your party and every Pokemon box before taking on Team Galactic with Riley? That way, when he tries to give you the Riolu egg, you don't have any space for a new Pokemon, so you can go back later. I'm not sure if you have to re-do the battle every time or not, but it'd be much nicer if you don't have to battle them every reset. With that obligatory question out of the way, thank you so much for this video! I dawdled a bit on watching this as I didn't want to be spoiled too much on shiny hunting in this game, but I figure it's probably for the best that I see all my options beforehand instead of going in blind haha. This was really well put-together and a fantastic guide that I will definitely be referring to for my future hunts, as well as recommending it to my fellow shiny hunters. Thanks again Oli, awesome work as always! Best of luck on your hunts :)

I'm super glad you found the video helpful, thanks so much for the compliment Kazz! As for your theory about the Riolu hunt - yes that should work! I also made a little note at 35:26 which mentions this, however it's quite the setup as we have 40 boxes in bdsp! That means we'd need to catch 1,212 Pokémon just to set up the hunt. But considering you're not lucky with that hunt and actually go to odds (or above), it will save you some time for sure. I'm still not sure myself if I'll fill up all the boxes for this hunt once it's time, because it would be kinda crazy if you set all this up just to get the shiny in 3 digits or something 😂

I really hate saying this over and over. I disagree with the shiny odds increasing in the Grand Underground. You get a second roll at full odds. That’s an increase in chance for shiny, not in odds. If I told you to roll two 6 sided die, you can’t roll a 12 sided die instead. Two rolls at full odds is the equivalent of dual hunting in the forest and with Riley. You get essentially two encounters on the single Pokémon.
@OliverMKP
2 жыл бұрын
I agree talking about "shiny odds" is always tricky. With any method in these games we essentially just get additional shiny rolls. Via masuda i.e. we get 6 shiny rolls on the 1/4096 odds. It doesn't equal 1/683, but gets close to this number in a larger scale. We just round down to 683 so it's easier to understand for the majority. For the Grand Underground and also for (no masuda) eggs with Shiny Charm, we get 2 shiny rolls instead one. Those both have the same scenario and doesn't exactly equal 1/2048, but get close to that when you have a mass sample size. All the numbers are calculated by the dataminers who worked on the official shiny sheets for BDSP. However, I am also a fan of "You roll a 4096 sided dice a 2nd time for each encounter if the Diglett bonus is active" instead of just saying the odds are a fixed 1/2048 - that's why I tried to list both numbers together and worked with the "~"-symbol. Appreciate the input Snuggie!

Not specifically for shiny hunting (at least not that I know of), but if you just join online underground without code you'll always have people in the underground, that way its faster to collect Diglett even if not all of them might search for them. But def faster than alone!

are shiny's in ramanas park based on frames like in the original ruby and sapphire? for example, if I spam A while resetting for my rayquaza, could I be seeing the same rayquaza if i fall on the same frame as the previous reset?
@OliverMKP
2 жыл бұрын
This frame scenario you're talking about is only in Pokemon Emerald or in Ruby/Sapphire with dead battery. But luckily, in BDSP rng works completely different, I am not a RNGer so I can't 100% explain the technical stuff but it's somehow based on random generated seeds and also tied to your console day and time. Basically, you can just randomly spam A and reset until the shiny appears.
