what's going on everyone austin john please here and today i'm going to be
going over the easiest alpha pokemon to shiny hunt
in pokemon legends arceus there are many strategies for you to find a shiny alpha pokemon
however it seems to be the most common one right now is just creating a route going over an entire
map looking at all the placed alphas by doing that you're seeing if the current advance of that seed
is going to contain a shiny pokemon based on your current criteria and then just rezoning to reseed
every single time so you get a new advance and the chance that that advance is going to be a shiny
by doing that you are going to be seeing a whole bunch of pokemon but it's a very long process and
it requires some thought to actually come up with the root but if you just wanted to have at least
one at least one shiny alpha pokemon which there are a lot of people who don't and you may want
to do a hunt this is actually going to be a very fast and straightforward way for you to shiny hunt
a few alpha pokemon and the basis of how this works is really pretty simple all you need to do
is just enter a cape that's that's pretty much it it's going to be a pretty straightforward
video here so if i'm here in the coronet highlands and if i were to make my way to the wayward cave
at the north entrance this location is going to be its own separate zone meaning that if
you're going to not enter this at any point going through the map this area is never going to load
so only once you hit a to go inside of here is this zone then going to be loaded and therefore
all the pokemon inside are going to be assigned to their own seed you're not familiar seed is a
very long string of numbers of exactly how pokemon are going to be spawning in and then your shiny
rate is applied to each individual pokemon in that the individual pokemon that spawn one at a
time are called advances if you're if you want to learn more about this i did put out a video
going over all this while i don't know if this strategy is you know a real strategy or a method
or anything else like that since it's pretty much just soft resetting now knowing how the game works
my friend majin phil actually reached out to me about this and he asked me to work with him
on making this video absolutely no problem you turn off auto saves outside of the cave and then
excuse me excuse me i would like to enter why can i not enter if golduck is there thank you
i'm going to enter inside of the wayward cave which by the way i'm lightening up the footage
just in case it's a little dark there's going to be several pokemon that spawn in here first when
you walk in in the grand corridor area you're going to be seeing goal bet and goal bet they
could also be zubat in the pond you're going to be finding wishcash and these are two separate
spawners of pokemon that have their own chance to spawn whatever pokemon that they want in addition
these stones here have a chance that they're going to be having a gibble in them and if you head down
this corridor as we saw in alpha hunters there's going to be a crowbar in addition there's a wish
cash chilling out over here right this goal bat is predetermined from the time that you walk into the
cave that means that every time that you enter the cave there's going to be the same goal that
if i were to leave right now and then come back in that's going to be the exact same goal back
same stats same shiny status all the information about that goal that is going to remain exactly
the same in addition there's a few other pokemon in here like i believe there's a zubat
and a gibble hanging out in this little pocket so there's actually several pokemon that you could be
finding in here and majin phil first observed this by going in here and when he was going through
he saw the crowbar here he realized that it's a female and every subsequent time that he would
walk out and walk back in it would remain exactly the same he decided to then walk out go back to
jubilife come back and save outside of the cave by doing that he was able to reset from that exact
one point before ever entering the cave and notice that the alpha crobat had its gender as different
okay female crobat let's just see if we let's just see if it's male next time
it's male oh my god different crobat that's a different crowbat so that would infer that it's
going to be two unique pokemon after subsequent catching testing and comparing stats it confirmed
that they are unique crowbats every single time they do do this what that actually means is the
first time you walk into this cave it's going to be a brand new seed that's generated every single
time and the same way that people like to shiny hunt for an alpha in the overworld by just going
over everything leaving and coming back you're generating a new seed for each of those pokemon
likewise by doing a soft reset in front of this cave you're achieving the same results turn the
game off turn it back on let's go back inside the major difference is that you're only going to have
to do the reset to go back to the home screen which the reset in this game is not very long at
all especially compared to bdsp and that you only have a sample size of one guaranteed alpha granted
the zubat and golbat that are hanging out in here they have a chance to be alpha but in addition to
that every single time that you walk in all of the pokemon in here do have a chance to be just
a natural 100 full odd shiny as i come down here i have a goal bat and a goal bat but as you notice
here my tumble stone is shaking so that means that i'm going to be having a little old gibble hanging
out inside of here yes i am isn't that neat my first time coming here that gimbal was not there
absolutely not and coming down the hallway once again we have our crowbar so by doing
this and i'm not going off of the exact tables i'm just going over what i observed just now
you are going to be having the two flying pokemon in the main room you're going to be having the two
water-based pokemon in the main room you are going to be having the zubat and gibble in that side
room you are going to be having the chance of the tumble stone shaking so that's one two three four
five six seven pokemon that all have a chance at a shiny odd in addition to the alpha crobat
so you're checking eight pokemon every single time that you zone in and zone out of here it's
also been said that if you go inside of this area the gimbal that spawns in on the right
you're gonna be able to just hear it soon as you walk in so you may not actually even have to go
over there to see if it's going to be a shining the wordier to get up there oh my god look at that
look at that chat are you kidding me i've told you it works yes science the science
compared to the other ways that you could possibly get an alpha crobat which include the alpha goal
bat in the field lands at night time but he's nowhere near a fast travel point granted if it's
on your route that also includes the blissey and the magikarp and the heracross then cool but this
is going to be very fast very direct and you are going to be running your odds of getting this
now do keep in mind that if you have the pokedex page perfected that's going to be much faster come
in here catch three of the alphas by zoning to juba life every time and then go to the icelands
and catch five of them in the air they're not that difficult the most time consuming part is doing 70
agile moves between cross poison and leech life that's going to be a lot of shanks's that are
going to be sacrificing themselves on the obsidian field lands so thank you for your service shinx's
now while this method is cool and all maybe you don't want a crowbat fully understandable there is
another pokemon that's going to be the only alpha pokemon of its type guaranteed that you can hunt
doing this method here in the alabaster icelands we do have another cave spawn which by the way
when it comes to all the caves between all the regions you kind of have a really limited amount
these are often referred to as sub areas or sub regions and the snow point temple is a sub region
as well as lake acuity's acuity cavern but that doesn't have any pokemon that randomly spawn in
there when it comes to the colboa coastlands you don't have any wild pokemon in the turnback cave
or in the lava dome seaside hollow you do have the 98 chance at artillery two percent chance at fione
the fiona is shiny locked in the artillery are not going to be a guaranteed alpha
so that's kind of a you know not great hunt considering that alpha artillery is right here
at the castaway shore the crimson marlins only has one sub-area the valor cavern which has no spawns
the obsidian field lands only has the verity cavern which has no spawns the coronet highlands
has the stone portal which has no spawns and the wayward cave which we have discussed
the small piece of the thing the quarry underneath here even though that feels like a sub area it's
not because you're not actually leaving the map same thing can be said for the holes that appear
over here at like the avalanche slopes but let's turn our attention over here to the snow
point temple the snow point temple has a bunch of pokemon that are in there however one of them is
a placed alpha and that's going to be for glade there is a gardevoir alpha that's going to be
existing here at hearts craig during the daytime but there is no place to alpha ralts or curlia
so because of that this is the only place you are going to be able to find yourself a guaranteed
alpha glade the only problem is almost near the end of the labyrinth if you go in through
the bottom however majin phil in his stream he had someone by the name of charles who found
or came up with a strategy i don't know if this has been seen anywhere else and to be honest i
haven't done too much research into there because this is pretty much the only use case for this
i doubt speedrunners would have any use for it but you have a way of actually gaining altitude with
braviary as phil is going to be demonstrating here by doing a certain sequence of events you
are going to be able to increase the height of braviary if you press plus to whip out braviary
and then you do the i'm going down animation by holding y you actually gain a little bit of height
so you're going to be holding y for about half a second you release y at the same time that you're
going to be pressing plus which is going to be recalling braviary and then in the air you have
the prompt for a to bring braviary back out so by holding y pressing plus and then pressing a
you are going to be gaining altitude using the downward animation it's going to take a little
bit to actually get a hold of it but if you're doing it right you're actually not going to be
moving at all if you're moving that means you're holding y for too long i'm not actually able to
talk while i do it so i'm just going to do it so i like to hold my controller like this
and then my other hand's thumb is going to be on the plus this might be a little hard on a joycon
and just like that you could get on top snow point temple and as we've discussed before if you were
to enter through the bottom and come up here the pokemon inside of here would be permanently
generated but instead if you save up here and head down the stairs you are going to be able to hear
the sounds of all the pokemon in the area now i specifically don't know how the range works for
the notification for shiny pokemon whether it's from the player if there's a sphere meaning that
if the sphere is here even though that this would meet the y and x coordinates i don't know if this
pokemon would be notified to you or if it's going to work more like a cylindrical prism
that way you're going to have your round radius around the player but the z-axis
is going to be infinite i think it's more that that way if you're flying with braviary above
something and it's very low below you you'll still hear the sound of that pokemon as it spawns in
after you've done the reggie gigas portion of the game then you're guaranteed that if you walk
in here and you hear a shiny sound you are going to be able to find that shiny pokemon so for the
shiny glade hunt all you're going to do is just save in front of this entrance after doing that
pain in the butt braviary method and then you're gonna head inside now i'm just gonna cut to phil's
footage because after a very long night up until eight o'clock in the morning having not
slept between that period of time you can see how sleepy my friend is it's okay phil you're
about to get real excited real energetic he goes downstairs hears the sound and he finds himself
a shiny alpha glade and that's a good shiny too oh yes yes yes
dude oh my god oh yes i gotta encounter it oh wow that's sick if you're on top
of here you can use braviary and you can just climb up on top of here which is a great way
what
what what's what's going on is that is that braviary okay
normally it it flies in a big old circle but i i can't explain that i can't explain what's going on
right there if i don't catch him oh i did catch him if i didn't catch him i want to know if he
would actually start the cycle back up also weird part you can just walk up here right and then you
can fly on top of here and i feel like this is the place that something should be there's not a wisp
there's not treasure there's not one small little easter egg there's not something painted right
in the middle what's the point of being up here oh it's spawned back in it's spawned
you saw it spawn back in right that was really weird there you go that's how you're gonna be
able to find two specific alpha pokemon to shiny hunt that's not gonna require you to do an entire
route going through an entire place pros and cons con is only one different alpha pokemon
pro significantly faster if you want to hunt one of these two specifically because you know what
i'm starting to get a little fomo that i myself don't have a shiny alpha i have like 30 full odd
shinies i have 20 that i've hunted for no alphas maybe just my luck of the cards so again i don't
really know if all of these specific methods and findings have been posted anywhere else but maja
phil good friend of mine not family friendly but an entertaining streamer does some fun challenges
if you want to follow him while he does these hunts and do some fun group testing and things
like that definitely go drop him a follow on twitch.tv slash majin phil great guy anyways
