I spent 50 HOURS shiny hunting in Pokemon Legends Arceus

Hello Wayfarers, Pokemon Legends Arceus is my absolute favourite game to hunt for shiny pokemon in, but recently I’ve been asking myself, is it as perfect as I remember? Are Mass Outbreaks as awesome as they appear on the surface, and do Massive Mass Outbreaks improve on them to a significant enough degree? Are standard spawn hunts an effective method, and are Alpha Pokemon and other rare versions that don’t appear as frequently just as attainable as the regular Pokemon? The odds might give us an idea of what’s best but I have a feeling that it goes much deeper than that. So to reliably answer all of these questions and more, I decided to spend a full 50 hours hunting for shiny Pokemon, in the land of Hisui.
I used various pieces of info from Serebii.net for this video, and they're a fantastic source of help for anything and everything Pokemon related, so be sure to check out their site if you're doing a challenge like this!

my first shiny in this game was the static alpha rapidash in the first area. i had just started the game the day before, and i was just running around exploring when i heard the noise, turned around, and saw a massive blue horse. i couldn't even throw pokeballs at alphas yet, so the only option was to sneak up behind it and chuck my level 16 quilava at its back, so that it is stunned the first turn of the battle and i get one chance to throw a pokeball at it. had to soft reset for ages before i caught it lol. but then i had a level 50 shiny alpha rapidash for the beginning of the game haha.

That’s an awesome story haha, great find too right at the beginning of the game! 🥳

Perfecting the dex feels like something you do in the offhand while shiny hunting rather than something to focus on for anything other than a challenge.

@ThisIsTheWayfarer 22 күн бұрын

Agreed, although it’s so specific at times it feels like you’d really need to dedicate a good amount of time to it in parts!

@quintyheij Ай бұрын

I love the idea of completing and filling the first ever pokedex, because honestly I absolutely adore filling my pokedex. And the shiny hunting in this game is just also really cool with the outbreaks (but i myself dont have the patience), so like mad respect to you for obtaining so many shinies in only 50 hours

@MonkeyWrench1 Ай бұрын

I mean, in one hour I get like 5 or 6, at least.

@ThisIsTheWayfarer Ай бұрын

Thanks dude I massively appreciate that 😄 I loved that aspect of Arceus too, made you feel like you were really paving the way for the future versions of Pokemon didn’t it! Shinies wise they are somewhat common, so if you ever feel like giving it a go I’m sure you’ll find a good amount 😎 That’s mainly why I wanted to make the video, cause I knew there’d be a tonne come the end of my hunting

50 hours? I spent 72 hours and only get 2 shiny in pokemon sword

@ThisIsTheWayfarer Ай бұрын

Yeah that absolutely checks out, shinies are much more rare in Pokemon SwSh compared to Legends Arceus! This video was all about seeing just how good shiny hunting in this game is, and I think my 85 shinies proves that it’s amazing 😄

Bro, i played through the game twice, had like 400 hours in the game and used it only for masuda method hunting cause through both of my playthroughs i got only 1 shiny, and also a one that i didn't want at all

@TaxCollector89 Ай бұрын

shiny hunting in legends is WAYYYY easier than any of the other mainstream pokemon games.

@BBromine Ай бұрын

this video made me revisit my shiny only PLA run and i got a shiny carnivine on my first mass outbreak!! thank you for the shiny luck

@ThisIsTheWayfarer Ай бұрын

Amazing! Really glad to hear it inspired you to play again, and congrats on the shiny ✨🥳

I remember wanting to finish the story to start shiny hunting and while going up a mountain I found my first shiny at full odds. It was an Alpha Shiny Golem. This game got addicting instantly. Great video man ! I enjoyed every bit of it 💯

Great video! It's so refreshing seeing people still playing my favorite pokemon game to this day. I'm trying to finish my living shiny alpha dex... with gender differences, regional forms, everything.

@ThisIsTheWayfarer Ай бұрын

Thanks so much 😄 Glad you enjoyed and wow, that is quite the goal to achieve, but it sounds like you’re well on your way to completing it! Good luck with your hunting ✨🥳

6:47 am I the only one who’s pretty sure that’s a shiny luxio? It probably would’ve sparkled but maybe he was to far away from it to sparkle

I was surprised to find the mass outbreaks have better shiny odd than massive mass outbreaks

@8omby808 Ай бұрын

Massive mass outbreaks have personally gave me more shiny’s by just flying to all the MMA’s and then resetting

@ThisIsTheWayfarer Ай бұрын

That sounds like a good method too for sure! The trouble I had with this video was that I needed to compare them in a fair and mathematical way almost, so I had to throw out soft resets and really only use them in the way that they’re intended, if that makes sense 😄

When I do massive mass outbreaks I always save in front of Mai, have her reveal the MMOs, take a picture of them and then reset so I don’t need to spend money on berries or time searching the MMOs that I don’t wanna do

@ThisIsTheWayfarer Ай бұрын

That’s a great idea! I just purposely avoided that kind of stuff to try and judge each section fairly if that makes sense? I thought it might be difficult to ‘cheat’ the system while still reviewing each method fairly, but I would absolutely encourage people to do things like you have to really boost your returns 😄

Thanks but it’s not really my style. I like to tell the story of how my adventures go, or to challenge myself and record the journey, as opposed to reaction content. There’s nothing wrong with it but it’s just not my cup of tea creatively, glad you enjoyed the video anyway!
