I got a curry connoisseur snom and it was the most random thing to me, I loved the little guy slowly crawling up to me in happiness wanting to join my party, it was just perfect.

One thing to note about Alola Salamence is that SOS encounters have boosted shiny rates, up to 1/315 after 31 encounters (and rolling over after 255) or 1/273 with the Shiny Charm

I found a random shiny Feebas in Sapphire. I finally found a Feebas tile and decided to catch a few and the fourth one was shiny. Now he's a Milotic with 72 ribbons.

I had the misfortune of my first shiny being Professor Juniper's Minccino in the catching tutorial. I was so mad about it I immediately shut off the game and had to walk away for a bit so I could go scream into a pillow

One of my greatest gaming feats was getting a shiny level 10 female salamance to help me through my Pokemon moon run. It was a shame I never bothered to get pokemon home... only the homebrew method backups.... R.I.P.

Awesome vid Ryan! As a shiny hunter, it's always so intriguing and fun to think about all the different kind of hunts, especially these more unique ones you presented! Keep it up!

Did not expect that level of quality out of a channel this small. Keep uploading!

Sick video! Thanks again for using my cursed wingull horde

Such a well edited and informative video! Keep up the great work Ryan!

Definitely needed to say jirachi for an honorable mention in gen 3. 10 min sr per encounter if you do it 100% legit, or 2ish mins if you turn off DS while it saves

Oliver recommended this video and I’m glad he did, although I already know about these hunts it was still a good video to watch!

Cool video! I actually got my shiny feebas in Emerald after learning how to do RNG manipulation. Totally worth spending a day trying to find one of those dang tiles

Nice video! I’m currently hunting (suffering through) a shiny starter hunt in Gen 5. I forgot how mind numbing it could be

Great video man, nice editing your got yourself a sub

Awesome video! Enjoyed it tons

Wow love the video definitely subscribing! :)

I mean technically speaking, you never CATCH the manaphy in an egg. More like steal from their home and give away to thousands of your clones

Love the video Ryan! 🧡🧡🧡

awesome vid Ryan

Someone on reddit has hunted and caught the shiny SOS 'mence! Lots of sacrificed shiny bagons along the way

I've personally hunted every shiny obtainable in generation 1 (there are some weird quirks, only about half the pokemon are obtainable shiny) and the hardest are definitely any of the low-level fishing encounters. You have to level every single one to level 50 ish in order to check the dv's reliably, which means encounters are HORRIBLY slow.

This feels like a challenge....that I would gladly take on

I can see why this vid was well received. I know nothing about shiny pokemon, yet this held my attention for 13min!! WAIT, the vid is only 12min - well, that's because I rewatched several clips.

I can’t wait to see all of the new extremely rare shinys gen 9 has to offer

Banger Video, good stuff

Firstly, let me say I love that you say Bag-on. It's how I say it and I've not heard anyone else using that pronunciation. Secondly, you can get a shiny Salamance a different way. On Pokemon go, you can catch a low CP shiny bagon (or it's evolved forms but that's much less likely), evolve it using 125 Bagon candies and then transfer it to Pokemon Home and then to a compatible game. The low CP equates to a low level.

Shiny manaphy hunters before ASE was discovered in pokemon dppt: *pain* Shiny manaphy hunters after ASE was discovered in pokemon dppt: *extreme pain*

The Shiny SOS Salamence doesn’t really have odds of 1/40,960,000, for a few reasons: 1. By encountering a Bagon, you’ve already passed the first 1/100, so it doesn’t apply to the Shiny odds. 2. Only the first 10 allies called will be full odds, after which you have increased shiny odds. In Sun and Moon those odds reset after 255 allies are called, but they’ll rise again after knocking out more. So really, the odds of a Shiny 1% Salamence are 1/409,600, 1/81,900, 1/45,500, and 1/31,700, depending on which point in your chain you found it. It’s still insanely difficult to find, but definitely not the 1 in 40 million.

Loved the video

Really enjoyed the vid, would like to see more youtube videos

Finally a top 10 video that explains the Manaphy hunt properly! 😮😮😮

shiny manaphy single handedly destroyed the pokemon ranger economy

This was incredible to watch. I wanna get that shiny manaphy now just for bragging rights

if i ever play b&w and the professor has a shiny minccino ima go team rocket mode on it.

Nice Video Bro

My first shiny was a Ratata in Let's Go Eevee! My favorite ever

omg i'm anxious now knowing there are a finite number of manaphy eggs @_@

you definitely forgott shiny Jirachi in gen 3 for me hardest shiny hunt of them all (did manaphy as well)

I’ll agree that feebas is hard to find in gen 3 but evolving isn’t hard at all you can just use the cloning exploit in the BF and just stack up on the needed berries for beauty stat

I RNGd Munip the manaphy egg. So much easier. But the set up was still hard. Had to do it twice to get it right.

Came across this video a few hours after getting the manaphy egg from ranger to hunt it 😂

I tried to find that salamence, non shiny, but just ended up with shiny bagon lol

W VID MAN👑

I have never even seen a shiny in a mainline pokemon game, Rumble and Arceus sure but never in a mainline

i've hunted manaphy twice now, the first time i got it no phases, but the second time i phased on a shiny starly really early on and got so mad i gave up lol

If counting spinoff games, shiny alpha 2nd stage fossils are the hardest gen 8 shiny to get. They are only found in dimensional rifts in a drop table saturated with 5 other drops. With how rifts work, only about 6-9 pokemon can be checked per hour. The 2nd stage fossils post game, which is required for shiny charm, have only about a 15% spawn rate or so compared to the rest of the drop table, meaning on an average hour only 1 2nd stage fossil would be seen per hour. The chance of it being alpha in a rift not sure it is fully known, but seems like about a 1/50-1/80. Assuming 1/50, a 2nd stage shiny alpha fossil would take about 26,000 hours, or closer to 8,000 hours if aiming for 1st stage or 2nd stage shiny alpha fossil. This would be even longer if alpha chance is closer to 1/80. Have gotten a 2nd stage Rampardos shiny this wage, but of course not alpha. Compared to curry, the rarest curry pokemon is an 7.8% roll after a 25% roll. About 30 curry can be done in an hour for 7.5 found per hour. At 4,096 chance this is approximately 25,000 hours to obtain the rarest curry shiny drop (that galar snake pokemon) and 2,184 hours to get any shiny curry drop. Also, oddly enough, there is over a dozen shiny curry mark pokemon rarer than authentic shiny tea, and a few dozen rarer if on Sword version due to its higher authentic rate for curry.

I once got 2 shiny roggenrola in a horde before in my pokemon x.

I was able to find a pre owned pokemon ranger that was never beaten so i have a shiny manaphy egg hunt to do after i beat it

Shiny Manaphy is also shiny locked only to whoever got it first so those that never traded it before hatching never had a chance for a shiny.

I’m that 1 in 40mil chance for the shiny salamance back then still can’t believe it to this day

My best was a shiny thunderous in black it was a full odds roaming legendary and I wasn't even shiny hunting it!

epic video but you forgot indentical shiny spindas

Funniest thing going into your video and I’m not sure if anyone is gonna believe me on this but in the gold remake I did catch a shiny in the bug catching contest

Before the video I did the salamander hunt and got it cause I saw it being able to spawn there

How do you only have 500 subs?!

The fact that someone actually found a shiny level 10 salamence is insane

I never really considered there was a reason for the 1/8192...

I have shiny Manaphy

I caught shiny rayquaza in emerald within less than 30 minutes

i actually had the shiny alola salamence. when i was transferring pokémon from bank to home it actually glitched and deleted a bunch of my pokémon one of them being that salamence. tons of time down the drain for a super rare and interesting shiny because of a dumb glitch

Manaphy can't even be shiny on the first save it's sent to btw! It's best to send it directly to another gen 4 game rather than hatch it on the og save.

apparently there is a clip with 5 shiny zigzagoon in a hoard but it could be fake

I’m playing a randomized heart gold and zapdos turned into a manaphy. Could it be shiny?

Honestly shiny curry hunting was made out to be way worse than it is. The friendship part isn’t an issue, and getting a Zard class curry isn’t THAT difficult. While it takes a while it’s not ridiculous.

Great editing! One advice I might give is to either lower the background music or raise your dialogue as its hard to hear what you’re saying at times. Other than that really well done!

You can do an updated version of this and it'll be brand new. It's just a theory, a GAME theory.

“You’ll never have” jokes on you I’m curry shiny hunting in Sword right now

Pog I was here Pog

Soooo fun fact one time I was going around trading some pokemon and someone gave me a shiny manaphy and a few years later I got a shiny phione

I’ve got 2 shiny salamence

Wait, there are curry ranks above Copperajah? :O

For Salamance the odds are 1/409600, aren't they? It doesn't matter wether a bag on or Salamance calls the shiny, does it?

Haven't watched whole video yet but I'm currently hunting hunting "Sanlit" 12.5% to be a female and the females are the only ones who can evolve 7 and a half hours worth of sandwitches ive found 12.....all male....

Shinychu Pepechu

Bro at 7:50 you put alola music for gen 6 lol why

Currently in the middle of the manaphy hunt only around 172 eggs hatched. Want to correct statement that it hatches 5 at a time. Wrong. It hatches 4. You must have 2 active pokémon in order to initiate trading.

With my luck it's the top 1,007 shinya I will never get

Wanna bet?

Don’t say never…some have them

You challenging me?

Personally I think any shiny in gen 3 ruby sapphire and emerald are never catch lol

The salamance fact is absolutely false. You can easily get community day bagon even at level 1 pretty easily, evolve it, and then transfer to Home.

I got my manaphy 🤷🏽‍♂️🐐🥶

Just commenting so I can be the 100th :)

bros upload schedule is almost worse than pokemon story lines

"please bring them back nintendo" XD nintendo doesnt decide that

And yhis is why we gen pokemon
