what's going on everyone austin john plays here and today it's gonna be time
for another pokemon sword and shield raiden update
i've been doing raiden updates for a long time and there are some people who just got the game and
they're not completely familiar with what's going on with these raid den updates there's a whole
bunch of people asking some questions so i just want to go over some some very simple things if
you already know exactly everything about rayden updates you've been with me from the start then
fine uh if not i want to spend maybe like a minute or two talking about things like this there's two
ways to get a promoted beam but nera get away from me one is in the natural i don't recommend
that for date skipping or whatever else but if you just want to encounter one random promotional raid
fine either on the main map aisle armor or crown tundra there's going to be i think five random
beams that are lit and at least one of them is going to be a promo 10 every day or you can make
your own so this red beam directly in front of me that's a regular beam the one in the back with the
purple and the crazy swirls that's a rare beam the rare beams happen ten percent of the time
uh the regular red beams happen ninety percent of the time the promotional dens are ten percent
uh as well so eighty percent are going to be the natural dens and then ten percent are the
promotional there's no way to differentiate the promotional red beam from the dens natural red
beam so you can go to any beam on any part of the three maps right press a in front of it and if
is that the current b is that the current thing going on this might be the current event going on
uh because it's all the rabbits right i don't think that's normally having a diggersby otherwise
that that luck is just way too much all right so i'm gonna throw a wishing piece in here it's gonna
save beforehand fine it's a red beam uh i have a zoomer wheel here and fairly certain that's the
current event going on before uh the event that is about to happen so i could definitely have
a three star a zoom roll i just got a promotional beam if it wasn't a promotional beam i could just
go over to any empty one and then throw a wishing piece in there and then eventually i'm gonna have
it how do i know the only way is if it matches the actual excel chart that uh that i always show in
these videos i'm gonna go down to the system date and time i'm gonna skip one day forward
i'm gonna quit this is called date skipping uh when i do this again i got the exact same
thing so i don't know if it's you know uh the promotional den but there's a very good chance
uh someone asked regard to shiny so there's a such thing as shiny dens
if i go in here the same time over and over and over again this pokemon will never ever be shiny
this three star zoom world will never be shiny today tomorrow and the next day as in the the
switches internal date today tomorrow and the next day those three days are locked in place those
three pokemon encounters anytime after those three it's a random encounter based on a seed algorithm
and that seed algorithm is automatically determined soon as you throw in the wishing piece
also when it naturally generates when you throw in that wishing piece it's going to pull this random
seed and there's going to be what's called a shiny frame anywhere from 0 to 16 000 days away now
i made a very long half hour video explaining the easiest way to determine the shiny frame
it's it's not an easy thing to figure out there are free services online i provide the services
and my discord to members bunch of things i might have a card appearing on screen right about here
maybe covering my face i don't know that can go into more detail
but uh there's a process to figure out if it's going to be shiny or not but just going in here
randomly you're not going to find a shiny that way i was i think the first person in the united
states to find a shiny during a raid it was a hudu on release day here in the states so that was fun
uh anyways let's let's check the wild area news this is how you update the wilder you go to the
wild area news it says connecting please stand by don't switch off the power to the system you do
have to be connected online i do not believe you need nintendo switch online to get the wild area
news so now you're going to see that this what was a three-star zoomer is now going to be uh this
corbin knight maybe corvus squire three star flying in steel i don't know exactly what that is
uh but this is going to be the new thing the data mine is happening now we're gonna
figure out shortly what everything is if i skip one day forward we're going to find
out what it is now also when i did get the wild area news this doesn't change the seed
i got the exact same thing again that's weird so if you have a shiny promotional den and you
go three days into the future and then you get that shiny frame that shiny frame doesn't care
which promotional event it is you're always going to be guaranteed that shiny which is pretty neat
uh it's a four-star double okay so what's going on here we're getting normal in steel and flying if
so what's the g-max is it are we getting g-max corbinite on the five-star reads only maybe
maybe not all right let me actually do some work and find out what's going on here with these rates
but i hope i was able to answer a lot of people's questions again i'm gonna try to remember to have
it linked at the end of the video if you want to learn about shiny dens it's a complicated process
and if there's more people who ask questions on other videos i may just take this segment
and make it a little bit more formatted actually read some questions on screen and explain it a
little bit better for other people and we're back uh this might be one of the most unique ones that
we've encountered in a long time just because one specific thing here there's no gigantomax pokemon
so if we look at the one star rates we have ditto rookity choodle blip bug sizzle peed wulu two star
uh the difference is rookie evolved and blipbug evolved to dollar and three star is corvus choir
is now corbin knight choodle is dreadnaught dotler is or beetle sizzlep to cena scorch will
lose double that three star remains the same for four star and five star there are no gigantic max
pokemon anywhere this is weird i don't know why it's this selection of pokemon is this based on a
specific trainer or something at first i was like is this based on like route 1 but there's a center
scorch and that's not on route one for the life of me i can't figure it out the closest i got is four
out of the six pokemon maybe five out of these six pokemon appear at the lake of outrage but
no idea why it's these ones but it is uh also this might be all of april we don't know so there we go
so this raiden update may have been disappointing but you know it's not disappointing tomorrow at 3
pm eastern standard time i have the beginning of a brand new fun limited series that's right a fun
new limited series playthrough uh that you guys might may or may not enjoy but i have a feeling
you will enjoy it so i will see you guys in from the time this video goes live i don't know 13 15
hours do some math somewhere this was this wild area update hopefully the rest of them for the
year before pokemon bdsp comes out is gonna be a lot cooler great oh wait we're not going to have a
pokemon raid done update before pokemon snap comes out golly huh neat until next time austin john out
