THIS IS WHAT 1000 HOURS SHINY HUNTING LOOKS LIKE

What's everyone best memory of Scarlet and Violet? Shiny related or not :)

Favorite SV Shiny memory: Having just finished my first Violet playthrough, I started playing my first Scarlet playthrough. First time going into Los Platos, crossing that bridge by the pond, something caught my eye. A Fidough that looked a little more well done than all the others. Barely 20min in, I found a full odds, dawn mark Fidough that I then used for the rest of the playthrough

I think my best memory of Violet was during my first ever playthrough, I wandered around for ages before the first gym hoping to get randomly lucky. I ran past a group of fletchling before suddenly remembering that its shiny is really hard to notice, and since shinies don’t make a noise or sparkle in the overworld, I ran back to check that group just in case. Turns out, there was a slightly orange fletchling in that group and that’s how I caught my first shiny. No mark, but it did have amazing stats which was cool, plus it was my first ever of that particular shiny Pokémon.

I rly wish more Pokémon games had mass release so we don’t have to rely on Pokémon Home’s 100 release limit per attempt

My favorite SV memory... is playing through Violet blindly (no help or hints) for the first couple of weeks of release. I avoided all social media & YouTube videos just to have that "no spoilers" experience, and I loved it! No random shinies in that run (my 1st shiny was a Qwilfish in an outbreak after I beat the main story though!), but I did find my 1st full odds shiny in my Japanese!Scarlet run months later (it was a Baile!Oricorio, such a great shiny!).

Spiritomb will always be one of my favorites... especially an alpha :)

My favorite S/V memory is getting to the elite four and seeing the Garchomp flying in the sky, looking very stiff, almost like a statue. That cracked me up and made my week.

just a tip for faster matsudaing~! Release as you hatch! Five eggs in five eggs out! It's saved me so much time egg hunting~ And I think one of my favorite shiny capture as of late has to be the Shiny eevee (now jolteon) that spooked me while I was capturing random eevee from the event out brakes~! I turned the camera around and just saw him watching me like 'what up?"

Best shiny memory I've got was playing with my brother on launch day and him asking me "hey, have you seen any shinies yet?" obviously I didn't yet, but he said he had seen 2 but he didn't remember them. I asked how he knew he saw 2 and he mentioned the Profile page keeps track of them. I still had zero, but we discovered he caught a shiny Tinkatot that evolved into Tinkatink accounting for his 2 shinies at the time. It was in his party after we looked through his boxes for a shiny. He never noticed it was shiny and he was using it the whole time because of the hammer difference being very unnoticeable.

Still going for my shiny living dex, one thing I love is that me and S/V share the same birthday, I feel so special

My tarountula was the first shiny i ever caught in game. It was the first time i saw the Pokemon aswel so seeing it being a shiny blew my mind! Now every time i see a normal colour tarountula or spidops it feels like they are shiny hahaha

love you as a creator! keep it up.

Did not expect the bank standing and barrows gloves remarks. Runescape is one memorable game lol.

Ooh. Tricky one. I reckon my favourite shiny memory from Violet has to be my first ever Masuda method hunt. Sprigatito, so far over odds I was convinced I was doing it wrong. I named it Finally!. Still use it for a raid every now and then.

I have a lot to say about my experience shiny hunting in Pokémon violet. But my best memory was finding a lunchtime marked shiny forretress in my first time playing Pokémon violet after losing the game card for months. Also doing a shiny only playthrough of Pokémon violet.

My favourite shiny is without a doubt my Roaring Moon. I was running around with level 2 dragon encounter, no herba, and at the very last minute of my fourth sandwich, he appeared. I have never had such a rush when finding a shiny before, it was just amazing Anyway, his name is Bagel and I caught him in a premier ball, but I'm thinking of finding him a brother to catch in a luxury ball at some point Second favourite is my dream ball Eiscue because the combo is just sooo gorgeous. Scarlet player, so did Masuda Method, and no joke, I got him in a staggering 9 eggs lol

The two Hoothoot have a good relationship 😅

I have a whole BOX of shinies, which I've never done before! Now I'm a full-blown Shiny Hunter! And colorblind to boot! Slither Wing, which took 4 sandwiches, is my fav! I guess, it's a hard choice. Thank you for these videos, they're so fun! Big fan!!

Cetoddle was my first ScarVio shiny! I was on the mountain trying to watch Sawsbuck when it ran behind the battle and scared me half to death 😭 I named him Glacier and he stayed on my main team for the rest of the game :) I also have two shiny hawluchas... I love those silly birds and they both randomly appeared two days in a row lol. I'm still trying to hunt Maschiff bc I adore that line and I love the purple of their shines!
