Hey, guys, SupremeRk9s here! And holy freaking shinx, I had no idea that Crystal
was coming out this week. I knew that it was coming out soon,
but I didn't know it was coming out that soon; It completely caught
me off guard. There are so many hunts in these games that are exclusive to Crystal that are just...
amazing!
That I knew that I needed to share them with you guys. I don't know if you can
tell, but I am so freaking excited to hunt in these games. I did a
video like this when Gold and Silver came out on virtual console,
and so many of you guys have been messaging me on Snapchat,
Twitter, things like that asking me to do the same for Crystal and, like,
yeah, i'm gonna. But, before we do get into it if you're watching
this video and you're not currently subscribed to my channel, then please do. I don't like
asking for subscribers, I almost never do, but I was looking at my analytics the other day and it said that two-thirds of my viewers
are just recurring viewers. So, if you're watching this video and you enjoy Pokémon,
you enjoy me; possibly both, definitely please do! I don't post daily, I don't post nonsense, I literally won't flood your sub box.
We just hit 140,000, I really want to hit 150,000 soon so just know if you did subscribe it would be super freaking cool.
And with that out of the way, let's count down ten amazing shiny hunts for Pokémon Crystal!
These hunts are in no particular order except for the order i want them to be in.
But without further ado, let's get into it!
Starting off super freaking strong, the whole reason that I'm making this video; so I want to talk
about it first, most people probably would have done this last,
not me. And that is a fully legitimate, full-odds shiny freaking Celebi! Now, the reason that this is so crazy
is that in the original Crystal Version there was a Japanese event that gave you the G.S. ball.
And that particular item is exactly what you need to encounter this in-game event. So before this event,
it was virtually untouchable except for the people that got the event in Japan which is a very select few
and like hackers!
but, not anymore.
Pokémon decided to bend the rules a little bit and make it available to anybody that downloads Crystal on
the virtual console. I'll be honest, I really thought that Pokémon wanted us to forget, about the G.S. ball
'cause they put it in, like, an episode of the anime and then it disappeared forever but now it's back!
I am so freaking pumped that they did this! This is definitely the number one shiny to go after in Pokémon
Crystal and, here is how it works. So, just like I said before, you need the G.S. ball in order to trigger this
event, but the difference here is you get it after beating the Elite Four.
Some people are gonna tell you all you have to do is beat the eight gyms of Johto; that's not true.
Once you finally take down Lance in the Elite Four, all you have to do is go to Goldenrod City,
go, to the Pokémon Center, and pick it up there. It's
also important to know that it's a key item, so it's not really a pokeball you can use.
After that, all you have to do is take it to Azalea Town to that guy's house who turned your apricorns into,
like, crazy pokeballs. I think his name is Keith? It's actually Kurt, I like Keith better.
He's gonna, analyze this thing for like 24 freaking hours. I don't know
If changing the internal clock is gonna do anything for you, I probably
wouldn't because it's probably just gonna set you back another, day. But once you wait it out, a
whole cute little in-game event happens. He takes you to Ilex Forest and ultimately to that shrine.
You know, that one in Gold and Silver that does absolutely nothing? But this time when you walk up to it,
you're definitely gonna want to save. Because as soon as you do you, put the G.S. ball inside, Celebi floats
down (it's super freaking cute) and then you literally encounter a Celebi, which is completely insane!
It's a mythical Pokémon! And that's it! If it's not shiny, you soft-reset and then you keep going until you finally get a shiny one.
Couple things to note: it's level 30. You're gonna want to take something that can
spore it, but honestly it's not that crazy of a battle so you're gonna be okay.
I really love events like this, I love that you get an item and then you can
hunt it later on. They did it a lot in fourth gen and hopefully this is just a turning tide and
we can finally start getting back to events like this. Next up is another really awesome Crystal exclusive hunt
and that is the soft-resettable shiny Dratini. Now, don't get me wrong, you can
also random-encounter for shiny Dratini in Gold and Silver, but the difference here is,
you're not random-encountering for it. The really cool thing about that is you're not risking the chance of finding other things
while hunting for it. This is one of those Pokémon that you come across during your gameplay but a lot of people don't know that
you can soft-reset for it so they just take the gift and run! First things first you need to go to Blackthorn City and beat the 8th Gym Leader, Clair.
She's gonna be a little baby, then you have to swim up to the Dragon's Den so you're gonna need a Pokémon with
surf and whirlpool.
You go inside, you find the house, you go in that and then you have to go to the old man and take the quiz!
I won't give you the answers because, well, that's cheating! Once you pass it, Clair's gonna give you the eighth gym
badge and then you leave the Dragon's Den, go back into the Dragon's Den, go back up to the house, where the guy
is, then you save in front of him. That is very crucial. Make sure you save in front because if you
don't, you're gonna get the gift Dratini and you're gonna have to redo all of it. One very cool thing
about this Dratini is it's got extreme speed. Dragonite is my all-time favorite Pokémon, so this is definitely a hunt that I'm gonna do.
This next one, I don't even know why I put it on the list. It's
also available in Gold and Silver but I didn't showcase it because, frankly, I just hate this shiny Pokémon.
You guys made a big deal last time, so I'm gonna talk about it now.
Yeah, it's a gift shiny Spearow
I won't spend too much time on it.
Now, on one hand, it's actually kind of cool because I just love the idea of getting gift Pokémon that aren't
legendaries or, like, just exclusives. It's cool to be able to hunt certain Pokémon in just, like, very odd, specific
ways, like this. But on the other hand, it's a freaking Spearow! Now, this guard
named Randy, who's wedged himself between Route 35 and Goldenrod City, wants you to deliver mail to his friend on Route 31.
This mail just happens to be attached to a Spearow named Kenya. So, basically all you have to do
is save in front of this guy
And keep soft-resetting until you find a shiny one. Once again being one of those hunts that people
just don't realize you can hunt for! A little cautionary tale, though, for those of you that do end up going for it...
This guy wants it back. The way around it is all you have to do is move the mail to another Pokémon
and, like, he doesn't realize it. Which, now that I think about it, is actually insane. He gives you his Pokémon,
which he named, so, like, he kind of cares about it. And then he just, like, doesn't realize
you gave him back something that's not his shiny Spearow. I don't know, i'm not gonna question it.
Also, not gonna hunt it but it's there for those of you that
want to. This next one is, once again, one of those hunts that is available in Gold and Silver but
I didn't spotlight it in my last video and, for real, it's a really good hunt, so I want you guys to know
about it. And that is Bill's shiny Eevee! So, after working really hard
on the PC system in Kanto, he decides to vacation with
his family in Johto which, I guess they live? He was kind of far... nah, he can fly. Regardless, he's in Goldenrod City
now so all you have to do is go to his house
and save in front of him. Talk to him, he gives you an Eevee and just like before, you soft-reset
until it's shiny. This hunt's just kind of a really fun Kanto throwback and,
for real it's not necessary for the game. So, like, if you didn't know about it, you just don't do it.
But now you do! You've got two more shiny evolutions to choose from with Umbreon and Espeon which both look
amazing in generation 2. So yeah this is just definitely one of those hunts that you want to go after. if nothing else this is
just a really fun Kanto easter egg. And speaking of eggs, the odd egg is another really interesting hunt that's Crystal exclusive.
Now, I'll be honest, this is one of those hunts that I almost didn't put on the list because it isn't full-odds, but,
at the end of the day, it's still a shiny hunt, and if nothing else, it's really freaking cool. Now, originally in Gold
and Silver you, did get an egg
but it was always a Togepi. But in Crystal, you get, in addition to that egg, and egg
called the odd egg. And not only can you get one of each of the babies in it, but for real
the shiny odds are insane. Cleffa, Igglybuff, Pichu, Magby, Elekid, Tyrogue, little baby Smoochum! All of those
at a whopping 14% chance of being shiny! And if, for some reason, you think that's crazy, in Japan,
it was originally 50%. And all you gotta do is save in front of the daycare guy,
that's it! And even though for some of you full-odds hunters that may sound way too easy,
which, I mean, yeah, it is. But since there are so many targets, you can
just choose one and keep soft-resetting until you get a shiny one of that. Which, for real, could take a while.
So, it's kind of like shiny hunting. I don't actually know if I'd have the guts to soft reset over shiny that i got even if
it isn't that rare, and also I don't feel like hatching one egg
that many times. But for those of you, that do the option is here. Next up
We have the mascot of the whole entire game for Pokémon Crystal! And that is... Shiny freaking Suicune!
Now, obviously this Pokémon is essential to the storyline of Pokémon Crystal but what sets it apart so much
from Gold and Silver is in Gold and Silver, you had to track down each of the
legendary beasts in the wild. Find them in the routes, if they're not shiny,
soft-reset, release them track them down, if they're not shiny-- it's like a whole mess. But in Crystal, Suicune is a static,
soft-resettable encounter. Which, for those of you that aren't crazy shiny hunters and don't really know what
that means, it's easier to hunt! And here's how you make it happen.
After defeating Team Rocket and obtaining the item The Clear Bell, all you have to do is go to Ecruteak City,
to the Tin Tower; you guys probably know it as the Bell Tower, that's where Suicune is.
I will say, this one's a little bit different from the other soft-reset hunts in the way that you can't
save directly in front of the Suicune, you have to save outside of the tower. But once you do go inside, Entei runs off,
Raikou runs off, but Suicune stays and stares you down, until you battle. If it's not shiny,
soft-reset. This is almost exactly, how it works in HeartGold and SoulSilver
except for the final placement. You don't encounter it in Tin Tower it's on some route. But it's definitely one of the best hunts for Pokémon
Crystal. Now this next hunt is one I'm definitely gonna do myself because i just figured it out,
And let me just say I'm so freaking proud of it. And that is a repel trick on route 7. Now,
normally, the majority of Pokémon you find in this route were dumpster children! Rattata, Raticate, Spearow; disgusting,
vile creatures. But, I've recently discovered at night and Pokémon Crystal, Houndour goes from 5% chance to 20, which already I was like
"Okay i'm intrigued.", but I also found out that they changed its level from 15 to 18, which means it repel-tricks
out all of the garbage! After using this repel trick, the only things left in this route at
night are Houndour and Persian and, yes, I am aware that Persian
does not have the best shiny, but is a cool and rare Pokémon and objectively,
Houndour is one of the best gen 2 Pokémon out there! So, the fact that you can almost exclusively hunt it is just, like,
Oh, my, gosh it's a freaking dream!
And that's really it for this one! The only thing you're gonna need is a bunch of repels and a level 18 so you can
repel-trick. Yeah, it's kind of tedious 'cause
you're, gonna have to change the clock to night all the time, but that's not too hard for a really
good shiny. At the end of the day, this is a really good hunt. Now, this next one is one i wanted to put on
the list last time for Gold and Silver but I realized there weren't enough really cool
targets for me to warrant putting it on the list. But for Pokémon Crystal, that has changed!
Now, in this game, there are two Game Corners. One in Goldenrod City and one in Celadon City, both of which have
a really cool target that you can purchase! In Goldenrod, you can hunt Wobbuffet for 1,500 coins;
which i really feel like is a steal. But in Celadon; which I find a little bit cooler,
you can hunt for a shiny Larvitar! But, the price for him is completely crazy. You have to pay
8,888 coins for just one, so, yeah, you're gonna be single buying those.
Now, both of these Pokémon can be random-encountered in the game in other places, but the difference there is, once again,
you're, more than likely gonna find something that you weren't hunting for instead of those. So, it's just really cool that you can
lock in a 100% hunt. Definitely one of the coolest ones on here. And now, up next, we have Ho-Oh and Lugia.
Both of these were on my list for Gold and Silver, but there is a difference in Crystal in the fact that you
can actually encounter both of them. But, there is a catch; although their locations are the same as before,
your ability to encounter them is not. Both of these are now after-game Pokémon which
means you have to beat the Elite Four before being able to encounter either of them. I will say that Lugia is a little
bit easier than Ho-Oh because all you have to do is go to Pewter City in Kanto, talk to the guy next to
the Poké Mart, then he'll give you the Silver Wing. But, once you that,
all you gotta do is go to Whirl Islands like before. For Ho-Oh, not only do you have to go to Tin
Tower and get a Rainbow Wing from one of the old guys, you also need to have
encountered and captured all of the legendary beasts. You might be able to knock them out but I don't know
why you would because they're legendary Pokémon; like,
you should catch those. And when you've finally done all of that, all you have to do is go to Ecruteak City,
go back to Tin Tower, and Ho-Oh will be there waiting for you.
Like I said in the other video, these two are battlers. Make sure you're prepared;
come with a Master Ball. If not, have a Pokémon with
spore, something with false swipe, and pay attention to their pp because if they start struggling,
you're probably gonna fail it. I just wanted to spotlight these two again
because I want to see more people hunting them. They're really cool shinies and to see them being hunted in second-gen, especially in Crystal,
it's a little unheard of, so it'd be really cool if some of you did this. And last but not least, number ten! The final spot
on this list is dedicated to not one shiny, but a bunch of shinies! All of these hunts are soft-resettable, I've talked
about them before in the Gold and Silver video, but they're also available in Crystal
and they're just such good hunts that they needed to be talked about again.
I'm not gonna spend too much time explaining all of these again, but the list is as follows.
There's a soft-reset Lapras in Union Cave on Fridays. There are runaway Electrodes at the Rockets' hideout.
There's a hidden gift shiny Tyrogue, which is super underrated. Shucky the Shuckle, which you're taking care of, is also not shiny locked
which a lot of people didn't know before. And finally headbutt trees are
here to stay in Pokémon Crystal with a lot of really great targets; one of the best being Heracross. If you
want to know more information on how to hunt any of those targets, I did a
whole video on them before; the link will be up here somewhere, it's gonna pop up across the screen. They're
just really freaking cool hunts and i didn't feel right not talking about it even though I've talked about them before 'cause I know
new people are gonna see this video and just because you didn't see the last one doesn't mean you should
miss out on some really good targets. But, that's gonna
do it for this edition of my videos! I hope you enjoyed this little Crystal countdown. If you
did, please give this video a thumbs up! If you enjoy videos like
this, where i count down the best hunts of each game, leave it in the comments below. For all you new
shiny hunters that are just starting out in generation 2, I hope I helped you pick out
some really good hunts to go after! Either way, they're just really fun
videos to make. But once again, thank you guys so much for watching! More videos are coming very soon,
but until next time, this is SupremeRk9s signing out! See you guys later!
