Not even exaggerating when I say that the Altaria is one of my favorite shiny hunting clips of all time. Gotta go big mode for the big bird
-
For Violet/Scarlet, if you let your Pokémon auto battle, they REFUSE to attack a shiny. It's a great way to find them when they're hard to distinguish.

Fun fact, there's a very easy way to get a shiny Ditto in Gold and Silver with a glitch. You need a Gen 1 game to trade with though. Take the Red Gyarados (or any other shiny) and trade it to a Gen 1 game, then teach it Mimic. Then encounter a Ditto in the wild and have it transform into the Pokemon you traded, have it use Mimic on you, then catch it. Trade the Ditto to Gen 2 and it will be shiny! Gen 1 is truly the gift that keeps on giving.

In BW2 you actually forgot an overlooked extra method: the use of Lucky Power 3 obtained via the Entralink, which doubles the odds to 1/4096 without the Shiny Charm or 1/2048 with Shiny Charm

Tips for chain fishing: surf first and then fish at a water tile surrounded by three rock tiles to increase the probablity of continuing the chain. Bringing a pokemon with an ability to help fishing (Suction Cups and Sticky Hold) is also important! The chain fishing works both in XY and ORAS.

I'm kinda sad not to see Horde hunting in the Gen 6 games, gotta be my favourite method even if it's not super efficient. Loved this though, was great to see!
-
One method that was missed out on was Friend safari back in XY which have a significantly increased odds because all mons in there get extra checks, I believe its around masuda method odds
-
"Why DON'T you like the other one?" "Because it's aggressive." 10/10 mom response.

I remember trying to 100% my Pokedex to get the shiny charm in Sun and Moon, I was having a nightmare catching this one pokemon and while fishing for it encountered a shiny Magikarp.
-
I like how when he encountered the multiple shiny Pokémon in HG/SS, all those shinies he encountered in that short time had the same color scheme goin on
-
No joke, I've been soft resetting in Virtual Console Pokemon Crystal for a shiny Totodile starter for about a week now, and I put this video on to watch again because I like watching other shiny hunting stuff while I'm shiny hunting myself, and while your totodile hatched on screen I finally got my shiny starter after 3,982 resets. This video is good luck.

The Wigglytuff thing caught me so off guard the first time I got it. I kept getting shinier and I’m just like “uhhhhhh am I the greatest?”
-
johnstone is awfully human-like. maybe he isn’t a stone after all
-
Black and white 2 do have a new method. If you use the lucky pass power it halves the shiny rate as well.
-
Tip for chain fishing: when you cast your rod, close your eyes so you can press A based on the audio instead of the audio and visual. Also in all gen 4 games, if your TID and SID aren't close, Cute Charm actually makes shiny Pokemon rarer
-
John's luck with the gen 6 hunts was insane. Banger content as always John :)
-
You're the reason I started shiny hunting in the first place. As I watch this, I was soft resetting for a Shiny Regice in Ruby and found it! I've been searching for this thing since November! Thanks for the amazing content! Love your videos!
-
for me the best part about shiny hunting in scarvio is the fact that it's pretty easy to max all your pokemon's IVs after catching, teach egg moves, etc
-
An even better feature of breeding in gen 2 is that Stadium 2 shows shiny eggs without having to hatch them. Between this and shiny hunting being possible in RBY, it's literally possible to get a shiny living dex in GSC.
