what's going on everyone austin john place here and today i'm gonna be
going over how you can get shiny pokemon in pokemon legends arceus
it's officially release date in australia and the game comes out tomorrow in america at midnight
and i figured today would be a good day to let you guys know how shiny pokemon
work in this game and first things first new merch available austin john please dot com
slash merch we now have hoodies great second let's talk about the shiny locks this game has
some pokemon shiny locked pretty much anything that's out in the open you're able to catch it
multiple times is not shiny locked the beginning partner starter pokemon is shiny locked that means
that you cannot soft reset your game at the beginning of the game in order to get a shiny
rowlet cinequill or oshawott however you are going to be able to find these pokemon out in the wild
after seeing the credits so if you're worried that you're not going to be able to have a husylian
decidueyes samarat or typhlosion in your pokemon home don't worry you are going to be able to do
it with this game there is one gift pokemon it's technically a reward for completing a side quest
and it is a alolan variant of a pokemon it is the only one in the game i think and it is also shiny
locked every single legendary pokemon and mythical pokemon is shiny locked any synovian legendary
pokemon that you may be thinking of those are shiny locked any mythical pokemon that require
save data from previous games those are shiny locked any side quests in the post game revolving
around legendary pokemon if there's returning legendary pokemon or new legendary pokemon
those are all shiny locked you cannot get any of those shiny oh also there is a later point in the
story where you need to go to three specific caves and fight alpha pokemon those three alpha pokemon
are shiny locked i'm being vague intentionally it's a great game i don't i don't i don't want
to spoil it listen you don't want spoilers i don't want to tell you anything you're just
playing through this i was like oh what and honestly from everyone that i've spoken to
already shiny pokemon seem to be much more common and by seem to be i mean they feel as though if
they are more common because you know more pokemon spawn in at once so if you run through an area you
could see a whole bunch of them but also at the same time they actually are more common
if you put the work in instead of it just being oh you know beat the game complete the decks get
the shiny charm as previous games it's now much more broken up and much more incentivized to do
basically the main story quest of completing the pokedex excuse me gyarados you're being a little
noisy i need i need you back in the ball thanks every pokemon in the overworld has a base rate of
1 out of 4 096 to be shiny when you first play the game meaning playing the game and doing absolutely
nothing is going to give you by far the worst odds for finding any single pokemon shiny good he's
sleeping so you have your base rate of one out of four thousand ninety six for pokemon to be shining
right and then from there if you were to go and you were to complete a pokemon's pokedex page and
by complete i mean reach level 10. i'm gonna stop whispering acting like he can actually hear me
and what i mean by that is the scoring on this page equals 10. as you can see number caught i
have the second check mark but there's an up arrow so those count for double so those two equal four
points times i've seen it use splash one but it's doubled so now i'm at six points times i've given
a food one different forms i've obtained two and then number i've evolved three and that's it's way
over ten so because of that the pokedex research level is ten and that means that i now get a
second re-roll at that shiny pokemon which now means that i have two shiny re-rolls at that
pokemon or one we roll two rolls two rolls at that shine of pokemon or about 1 out of 2048.
from here there's something else you can do to increase your odds at finding a shiny pokemon
if i were to look back at magikarp's page you can achieve a perfect pokedex page for that i mean 25
caught seven of them large 40 defeated 100 times you splash fed it five times both male and female
forms and evolved 10 of them i personally don't have something i can reference for that however
if you do that it's a perfect page complete all tasks for a species and you will have stars
on the pokeball which now means that you have four shiny rolls for about one out of 1024 odds
now i'm gonna be frank with you the shiny charm is in this game
and unlike brilliant diamond shiny pearl it does work however it requires completing every single
pokemon's pokedex page and beating the game and the post game and the post post game so
you're not doing that anytime soon instead there's actually another mechanic that's built into the
game that starts soon as you start the game well technically as soon as you're able to get past
this bridge right here once you're able to walk across this bridge a new mechanic is unlocked that
happens very randomly and it's called outbreaks so what outbreaks are is when you leave the town
you're going to see on your map here there's going to be a pokemon icon that means that there's an
outbreak which means that there's going to be a cluster of pokemon who spawn there
so if you were to have a pokemon who you didn't complete its tax page but there is a mass outbreak
you have really great odds you have 26 rerolls for a shiny which is equivalent to one out of 158
so there's a one out of 158 chance that this mass outbreak is going to have a shiny pokemon for you
at time of recording and time of pre-release there's still some questions as far as the
most effective way to use these mass outbreaks for the same specific pokemon but for now at the
very beginning of the game all you need to know is if you go to a mass outbreak there's a chance you
find a shiny pokemon if you do cool if you don't move on at a later point in time we may have a
more efficient way on how to almost guarantee a shiny from a mass outbreak however right now due
to some discrepancies i personally don't want to advise you either way but be sure to be subscribed
for future updates on that back to austin talking about things six hours ago i now realize that mr
mime does the sitting down drinking tea thing that it does from detective pikachu and i love that
all of those things can be compounded all right so if you have a pokemon who's researched level 10
and it's a mass outbreak you have 27 rerolls for one out of 152 chance and a shiny pokemon if it's
a perfect research during the mass outbreak you have 29 re-rolls for a shiny pokemon
and then also if you have the shiny charm it very slightly increases
going back to without a mass outbreak and having the shiny charm on a level 10 you're going to have
five re-rolls for one out of 819 odds for having a perfect dex page and shiny charm one out of 585
the best odds you could possibly have beating the game beating the post post game there
there's a mass outbreak you perfected a pokemon's page you have the shiny charm everything you have
32 re-rolls for a one out of 128.49 chance at a shiny pokemon which honestly is pretty phenomenal
however if i'm gonna be honest with you having a mass outbreak
never even seeing the pokemon before and having a one out of 158 chance that's phenomenal i
recently had my first mass outbreak shiny just randomly show up it was actually mr mime over here
and after i defeated the first batch of pokemon a shiny showed up as opposed to my worm pole which
when i entered the mass outbreak he was just there he was just one of the first ones already there
and that was pretty neat beautiful you're being too noisy man type two why can't you guys be quiet
like gyarados and mr mine back there and i wanted to go over exactly how you can avoid failing them
because it's very possible and i actually just stumbled across one right now while i was running
around even before fighting cleaver i'm just running around with my uh colavo over here right
and what about these veneers did i finish the veneering pokedex entry yes great it's level 10.
so i start heading up here i collect some items from this tree
and there it is if you see right down there at the bottom right you can even see it right
here before the little stars happen and i don't know if you can hear these the shiny
sound because i pulled out weird air at the exact same time so let's listen back to that
yeah no it's extremely muted so luckily i did have that on screen notification
first thing i did was hit uh d up or the pause button because there's some things you want to do
to avoid failing this pokemon trust me so the reason i did that is first thing you want to
do is go into your settings and you want to turn off auto saves okay i'm going to save
and now let's go back in there and confirm yes it is disabled perfect now i'm going to drop down in
manual save right here the reason i'm going to drop down to manual save is if i fail to catch
this pokemon for whatever reason so like say for example i scare it and it runs away
gonna run away and run away from me boom it's gone just feel the shiny pokemon i just hit the home
button close the game reopen the game that was the importance of us turning off autosave now it could
have had a move that did recoil damage i could have been in a situation that it's a timid pokemon
and it ran away from me there's many different things that can happen so it's important that soon
as you hear that sound whatever you're doing stop what you're doing drop down the hard save because
that pokemon is saved in that exact same spot boom there we go the same statistic same everything
and he's just chilling there right so now if i wanted to i could come about just trying to catch
this bad boy by throwing a berry i think i have one feather ball left yep one feather ball left
he's going he's eating i'm gonna get real close
and boom failed it i uh it ricocheted off of the ground did that work perfect and it shows up there
at the top right now i know this looks weird we turn the game off we're gonna turn it back on
if you initiate combat with the pokemon and then leave the battle with the pokemon it has
the same hp but if you reload its hp and pp are restored so those are fun facts to know
i'll never get tired of hearing that sound all right so i want to see right now where where is
this bad boy all right he's at this tree and i'm just going to drop down a there we go waypoint
marker and i want to see how far away we can go and then come back and that pokemon is still there
so let's go a full 50 meters all right full 50 meters let's go a little bit more just
casey moved around and let's head back to where that 50 meters was he's still there taking a nap
it fell asleep 200 meters away let's head on back
and everything i do right now doesn't matter we turned off auto saves we have our heart saved down
we know that it's going to be perfectly safe exactly where it is
oh that time we went far enough away that we got the sound again 450 meters let's head on back now
you might say austin why are you checking this far of a distance because i'll be honest with you
maybe you don't have the pokeball to catch this pokemon then what are you gonna do well if you
can go 500 meters away you can go and get all the items you need to craft a pokeball can't you
and still there let's fast travel back to camp maybe we have items in our inventory that we can
use to craft maybe we can uh maybe we can go buy pokeballs still there let's go to the beginning of
the level the field lance camp let's run all the way back over 890 meters away i'm just gonna run
there now i guarantee the limitations of this do fall within you're not allowed to leave the zone
meaning like you can't go back to village say for example you want to go get the items to make
better pokeballs that are currently not being sold you probably can't do
that in fact i'm i'm going to guarantee that you can't do that i'm here for your pink friend
still here i went back to the beginning of the level it's still here say for example
i wanted to sleep until the morning for a better thumbnail or something still here
are you gonna you're gonna get caught bro
great we caught it i love how it shows up there as shiny it shows up everywhere it's shiny on
your menus on the report screen we can actually go show that right now you see that little blue shiny
icon also the pokemon itself is shiny you can tell because it has the the pink accents right there
now you might say hey austin that was a fantastic example of you literally
saw and kind of heard the pokemon well what happens if you're not that fortunate well
this clip right here that i managed to save i was going and catching this a palm right
heard the sound have no idea where it came from probably somewhere on the other side
of the hill it turns out that on the other side of the hill there was some staravias over here
and it's kind of hard to tell which one is which so the first thing i did was i stopped
moving i stopped caring about apom turned off auto saves drop down the hard save and i went
and i caught this pokemon now you might ask what do pokemon in the water look like
when they're shiny well here i am just chilling riding around on basket legion having a good time
trying to catch myself a man tike or whatever else is in the water and
luckily for me this is a pokemon who who wasn't really gonna run away or do much of anything if
you're at all nervous while you're flying in the air that you're not going to be seeing
these notifications because the pokemon are so far away and they're in the grass and everything else
the good news is the pokemon appear slightly visible before the environment textures do
meaning that the pokemon are gonna spawn on the map and then as you go a little bit more
forward the grass is gonna spawn which i don't know if that's done to save processing power or
specifically why it's done but it makes seeing these pokemon that appear shiny so much easier
like this riding around in braviary nature's pantry first area just cruising around right
and on the right side of the screen
boom
that's what happens when there's a shiny pokemon in a tree which obviously you can't run away
from this you just have this one encounter to catch this so this is one of those times that
you can't just save in front of it you just gotta throw out your balls and hope good news
is it's not gonna run away when it comes out of a tree at least i don't think but we just got burme
my now seventh shiny pokemon well guys there you go that's how you're gonna be notified for shiny
pokemon and that's how you're going to not fail shiny pokemon in pokemon legends rcs did you find
