  • I would level up my shiny Magikarp to level 100 if I found one, magikarp is my favorite pokemon.

  • @randomenvelope It's cooler than Bidoof, I guess.

  • @DrDimentio magikarp is just so cool, so hilarious, ever came across in a pokemon game a trainer that has like 6 magikarps in a row and you gain so little exp from them? Hes legend to me.

  • @randomenvelope I'd consider him more of a legend if there was decent exp. to gain from them, lol.

  • @DrDimentio hes a genius, a legend, if you gain a lot but he does not, he wouldn't be much of a legend, this guy needs to be in every game, but so far I've only seen him in white and platinum, not seen him in ruby or soulsilver

  • My shiny Charizard is the best

  • So will it count towards a shiny chain after defeating one after another?

  • @Fret22StringSee No, that's only with the Poke Radar.

  • I've gotten a shiny magikarp yesterdaY...it's so awesome because I was abusing fishing in the same pond near my house....I did it 1 week and he pop out of the suddent! im so happy..

  • @nicxtrem21 Awesome, I hope you got the same feeling I did when I caught mine.

  • when u evolve a shiny does it stay shiny?

    eg:if u evolve a shiny pikachu do u get a shiny raichu or a normal raichu?

  • @SpazzyRox yes, evolving a shiny pikachu will get a shiny raichu. pokemon, after evolution, stay shiny. =D

  • @SpazzyRox Well obviously if you even watched the video you'd have seen my shiny Magikarp become shiny Gyarados...

  • I found 6 shinys without hack and didnt use the poke radar either ^.^ swablu, machoke, raticate, fearow, shaymin (Yes i was shocked) D; and zubat ;3 Man, Im lucky lol

  • @elementer777 My friend has the legit shiny dogs... He actually has multiple of them.

  • @zackolot Nice. It's a shame their shiny colours aren't as dramatically different as with Gyarados, though.

  • i found a legit shiny rhyhorn while in victory road :)

    my first shiny. (ive never cheated)

  • @crazitaco Hence the name "Victory Road"

  • @crazitaco yeah i found my first shiny( loudred) in emerald victory road....that place just seems great

  • I approve of the Showtek. Hardstyle is win.

  • @DinosaursSayRarr Awesome, 2nd person in 1.5 years of this video's existence to recognise the song!

  • @DrDimentio Dude I have 2 of their complete albums on my iTouch right now :)

    Unfortunately I missed them at Powersurge 3 in AZ, they better come back though!

    I wish I was lucky enough to find a random encounter shiny... I've soft resetted over 3,000 times for a shinly Drifloon, and so far nothin :/ Taking me 5 days so far.

  • @DinosaursSayRarr Awesome, I am envious of that. I live in Australia, so yeah... although, hardstyle is fairly popular here. Keep going with that Drifloon; one of my shiny-hunting associates recently took over 30,000 SRs for a shiny Darkrai.

  • @DrDimentio Dang that's a lot! But I got it! I would say about close to... 7,000 SR's? That'd be my guess. Took 5 days. Woot. And I'm from Arizona, USA. Big rave scene here, although I don't rave anymore, but Hardstyle is decently well known in the Phoenix/Tempe area.

  • @DinosaursSayRarr Congrats on getting it; lucky you didn't relive his experience. Interesting... electronic music in general is popular here, or so it seems.

  • nice

    

  • What Song is this?!?

  • @FrankiieBoii789 The first one was The Puta Raver Story by Showtek.

  • how do u get lv 1 ralts?

    and the What the f**k

    naga queen is evolving ROLF

  • @KawaiiGaIx Any Pokemon that hatches from an egg in the 4th generation games is at level 1. I'm glad you found that part amusing...

  • whats an adamant sychronizer

  • @assassinsu A synchronizer with an Adamant nature...

  • how do u get that?

  • @assassinsu I just kept breeding Abras in Emerald until I had one of every useful nature. It takes quite a while...

  • Oh you evolved it, Now you can get another one in SS/HG

  • If I'd known HG/SS existed back then, I wouldn't have bothered in Pearl...

  • well magikarp can be very usefull if u know how :)

  • cool :]

    My first shiny was a Zubat (for real)

    Now im trying to catch a shiny adamant gyrados. If you have any advice plz tell! :D

  • Thanks, and I'm not so surprised about Zubat. Well, my advice will depend on which game you're using...

  • i have a diamond version of poke

  • Okay - since the encounter rates for Magikarp are the same as Pearl (which the video was of), you should use the Good Rod in the same place I was in the video. Trust me on that.

  • ok, how big was the chain u made for magikarps?

  • Chain!? What? You can't chain things on water...

  • i know, i meant like how many magikarps did u k.o.? b4 the shiny appeared

  • Actually, I ran away from every battle since it saves a LOT of time in the long run, and Magikarps give crap exp. so it's not worth killing them.

  • really? so how many times did you ran away? And if i miss my bite, does it still work?

  • Well, I showed my Fishing Records at the end of the video - over 9000 fish landed before the shiny. Definitely try to avoid missing the bite - it is possible to miss a potential shiny that way (I missed about 10 during my quest for this shiny).

  • the first shiny i got was a pichu... at my local gamestop.... TRUE STORY!

  • Well, that's unfortunate...

  • Comment removed

  • @diyanuh i found a level 86 magikarp in the vacation place (i forgot the name)

  • i gonna try to catch a shiney

  • me 2 the come lvs 1 - 100

  • LOL Magicarp used Splash...where have I seen that before?

    Every time I battle one XD

  • @diyanuh well magikarp learns tackle and flail to...

  • awesome vid dude 5/5

  • Thanks for your support.

  • lol 3:09"how the f**k?

  • You'd trade a legend for a mere shiny? Nice deal. I'll get back to you on that, but right now I'm busy...

  • i saw shiny one or just an old rod when i dint expect it to

  • It's not the size of your rod, it's how you use it.

  • GOOD SONG. SHOWTEEEEK! X3

  • Awesome, you're the first to know something about the song. Congoatulations! I lost the song since my computer crashed... can't find the same version I had >_>.

  • Yeah, here's a SHINY FIST for you! Nah, I'm not that mean. Well, not always... anyway, the proper answer from me is: If you want a shiny Bronzor, Beldum or Rhydon, I guess I could give it away for something.

  • I can't be bothered waiting for my video to load to check, but from memory that is correct.

  • Lol, very observant of you.

  • cool i dint know it evoled into gyadros

  • Really? You must be very, very new to Pokemon...

  • no im not new to pokemon i have shaymin all 3 legendarys dialga palkia and girenina orgin

  • I thought so because it's extremely well known that Magikarp evolves into Gyarados. Almost as well-known as Pikachu.

  • hey i was wondering but i highly dout it but do u kno the name of the person from the wifi records JORDAN on you tube

    i think it was me LOL but idk for sure

  • That was the non Wi-Fi records. The JORDAN guy goes to my school in real life, so it's not someone like you who I don't know...

  • I have shaymin (origin), darkrai, 2 dialgas, palkia, giritina (origin), rotom (multi forms), Kyogre, Phione, Cresselia, the three legendary beings, and specail Arceuse and the jewal of life lvl 100 arceuse... I am working on getting ahold of the P.C.P. and lvl 100 regigigas... plus im trying to catch the three birds... :D

  • That's... great, but what does that have to with this video?

  • it's a reply to somebody elses comment... sorry for the confusion

  • Okay... but for some reason, it doesn't seem to be connected to someone else's comment... this comment thing must be screwed up as usual.

  • My only legit shiny (I had a hacked Typhlosion just for babies that came out shiny for some reason) Was a Noctowl. Was just traipsing along in the snowy area, and found the guy. was kinda awesome getting him

  • Lol @ hacked Tyhphlosion... and nice shiny owl. Can it fight well?

  • well... moderately well. I haven't had much opportunity to raise the poor gal. But she knows silver wind, psychic, wing attack, and steel wing at level 45. so it's pretty good. :3

  • Yeah, I guess it's pretty good... for a NU Pokemon. The only really good Normal/Flying type is Togekiss. Poor old Noctowl is overshadowed by that and many other flying types.

  • Yeah, I know. I kept my Dragonair a Dragonair because once it really gets down to it, it's better to just have two weaknesses, instead of one weakness and an OMGWTFBBQ weakness. Kinda like Gyarados, now I think about it. :3

  • Actually, not letting Dragonair evolve is very, very foolish! Dragonair is truly inferior to its evolution, as evolution is the process of a Pokemon becoming closer to perfection.

  • Well, it's working out well for me. I have dragonair boosted with enough vitamins that it's equal to its evolution. :3

  • Then if you evolve it, all its stats will go up dramatically...

  • This is so unfair. Everyone but me has seen a Shiny at least once. I am of course excluding the Shiny Gyarados In Crystal, Gold, Silver, and their DS Counterparts. Why am I so unlucky?

  • Well, how long have you spent exclusively shiny-hunting? If you've been at it for a few hundred hours just doing that, you are unlucky. If not, you must realize that the chance seems much lower expressed as a decimal...

  • You and me both. I only once saw a random shiny Geodude, and that was after over 400 hours of gameplay.

  • That's a good example of the rarity of a shiny (and I hope that Geodude wasn't capable of using Selfdestruct... that would suck badly. So you took 400 hours, and I took over 800 hours for my first random shiny... a Burmy. A frickin' BURMY >_>.

  • It actually DID know Selfdestruct but luckily I caught it with one Quick Ball.

    ^o^

    God, that SUCKS. 800 HOURS? That's a lot considering it took me 100 hours to beat the Elite Four (I was stalling). Well, at least Burmy is an okay Pokemon. You should have seen, though. I was flipping out when I walked into tall grass and... bam, shiny. I was saying "Holy shit" for about twenty minutes. Unfortunately that Geodude was pathetic in offenses.

  • Bwaha... speaking of Shiny Geodudes... guess what I randomly encountered today? A SHINY GEODUDE! I named it "HOLY SHIT!" because that's what I said. Actually, I basically just laughed and my heart beat very fast as with all previous shinies (happen to you?). It was level 16 so no suicide risk.

    Lol, most of the hours on Pearl were spent failing at the Tower (you know I conquered it in Plat). Um no, Burmy is anything BUT okay. Have you seen its moveset and stats!? My shiny Dude also has s**t IVs.

  • Wow, seriously? Is that FATE?! When I encountered mine my heart was beating pretty fast, too. Mine was level 18. However I have yet to feel the "HOLY SHIT!" feeling as I haven't encountered any other shinies as of... ever.

    The Tower... goood times. When I beat the game I barely spent any time at the Battle Fronteir. I pretty much wandered around aimlessly doing random stuff. Then I deleted my save file, and my reason for doing so comes with a LONG-ASS STORY. And sorry bout the s**t IVs.

  • Maybe... also, unlucky that it was only just at the Selfdestruct level... I might have even used a Master Ball in that case (cloned several in Emerald). Shame you haven't encountered any others... I have 3 completely random, unexpected ones in total now.

    Lol, I won't ask about the long story. And don't worry, my Gastly had shameful IVs too... how typical.

  • I didn't want to use a Master Ball, and even if I did want to, I used it on Mesprit already. I just chucked a Quick Ball and hoped for the best, and luckily it didn't escape. It's a shame I haven't found any yet. I'm redoing my Platinum game, and I'm at Pastoria City, so I'm sure a random shiny won't come for a while. So you have Burmy, Magikarp, and Geodude. That's pretty cool!

    It's not personal or anything, I just made this really big mistake within the game which screwed me over.

  • I see... that's why I cloned about 10 in Emerald. Quick Balls are truly awesome, I always use them. Yup, my random shinies have been lucky. Except Burmy. If I hadn't lost that one, I'd give it to you...

  • I don't remember how to clone items in Emerald. In fact, I never finished R/S/E at all. I could never bring myself to finish it. It's a great game but somehow I found the game too easy to go on. Anyways, if I had a shiny Burmy, I'd evolve it into a Wormadam Trash Cloak or a Mothim depending on its gender. How did you lose Burmy?

  • That's somewhat of a conflicting thing to say... too easy to go on. How I lost Burmy: After checking its summary to see it was indeed shiny (hardly tell the difference... crap shiny >_>), well... okay, so I'd been using every Honey Tree daily for months until I eventually got Munchlax a while later... so that Burmy was one of the encounters. Since Pokemon species is the same from a Tree if you reset, I stupidly assumed it would be shiny again... should've checked first. Oh well, I hate Burmy.

  • Oh, I see. That sucks T_T Pokemon species is the same in a Honey tree but gender, level, shininess and obvously stats/IVs are different. Burmy is crap, I know, buts its evolutions are okay if used correctly.

  • i only got lucky in gold catching a golden craby i was trippin when it started to shine but that was my 1 and only shiny pokemon i legit caught beside the gyarados

  • So, you have crabs... but they're SHINY crabs, so that's a good thing. I bet you wish that shiny wasn't stuck in the old generation, right?

  • speaking of which, i have a shiny magikarp and marill in my crystal :(

  • That must have been awesome back in the day, but I bet you hate it how your luck back then is now irrelevant in this generation, right?

  • yeah i wish i could bring it to the new gens

  • Yeah, but people would just evolve them and then they'd be red as usual. Blue would be cool. I know, it sucks that I can't "legally" recolour art >_>.

  • I am impressed with your work. Congratulations on catching such a rare and exotic Pokémon, finding a Pokémon of a different colour is impressive. I used to work for Team Rocket then I quit, Now I am a Pokémon Adventurer, I have seen hundreds of Shiny Pokémon.

  • Wow, er... thanks. It took ages, but I don't consider it work since it relies on chance. It sure is rare and exotic. Not impressive so much as lucky though. In battle my Gyarados is impressive of course. Awesome, good that you quit being on the dark side...

  • The first and only shiny pokemon I ever encountered was a silver psyduck.

    I caught it on my crystal game on my old gameboy advanced.

    But have long since deleted that save. :(

  • I'm pretty sure shiny Psyduck is blue, but perhaps it was silverish back in Crystal.

    It's a shame you've lost such a rarity.

  • I once ran away from a siny ralts, and killed a shiny onix, and killed a shiny gyarados though i didn't care for the gyarados, ad traded a shiny tentecruel.

  • You've had an unfortunate past with shinies, it seems. I've heard a few similar stories from others.

  • NOOOOOO OMG then i ran away from a shiny duskull!!!! it was red, and i thought my DS was totally nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • That's a tragic mistake, and for which reason I think the games should hint early on that shinies exist, and that they are very rare and well worth catching.

  • did you kill all the other magikarp that wernt shiny to kinda chain them? or did u run away

  • "Chaining" only exists with the Poke Radar - I just ran away each time.

  • omg 3:08...In a Child game...Whahaahah

    Whats a good place for hunting on Shiney Magikarp...And how do u evolve a thing like that..because the only stupid atack magikarp is...SPLASH!!!! OMG!!!!

    - Snaavel

  • all u have to do is switch it out of battle every time ur gunna kill soomething or u can use rare candy

  • i caught my shiny karp level 50

  • mAGIKARP FTW

  • Somebody likes WC3 :D...

    Anyways... LUCKER!!!1111

  • Yup.

  • Nice

  • Very nice - I like.

  • nice, adamant nature

    lol: what the f**k

    naga queen is evolving:p

  • I think it's adamant 'cos the ralts had adamant nature and had synchronize - gives a +50% chance of it having the same nature as that pokemon.

    That's my guess anyway :P :D

  • Um, yes - my description said I used an Adamant synchronizer.

  • Yep, very nice... I like!

    Yep, and if you watch my next videos to be uploaded, you'll see similar jokes on the Pokemon text.

    Yeah, and Naga Queen is a reference to Warcraft III, so ya know.

  • Naga Queen as in Vashj or Azshara?

  • Sweet, someone who plays that awesome game. I think the name's just based on the generic hero class, not any of those specific characters.

  • Agreed, chances are you proberly play WoW then, do you RP?

  • No, I'm unable to. Besides, Pokemon is so time-consuming that if I played that as well, I'd have no life as opposed to not much of a life.

  • Ahh well, i just hit 80 anyway :P

  • Nice. Now see if you can 100% complete Pokemon (ie. get a Black trainer card) within this year - the ultimate time-consuming challenge.

  • Or, i can do it by 2011 with Heart Gold and Soul Silver? haha :D

  • Oh man, don't get me started on that... once I finish Platinum I'll have more to trouble me. It even has its own Battle Frontier... probably not as big as the Sinnoh one. I hope.

  • My Friend traded me a Shiny Suicune ^-^ I really dont know if he hacked though.

  • If your friend is a trustworthy person, maybe not... otherwise I'd say yes. Until HG/SS, they'll be extremely hard to come by. Also, unrelated comments to shiny Magikarps should go on my channel or something! Grr.

  • I have a red wooper

  • Cool :P.

  • I have such bad luck encountering shinies. I might try going to the old chateau for the heck of it though. ; )

  • How bad exactly? I hope you get luckier one day. Okay, good luck with the Old Chateau... I found my shiny Gastly there in only a few encounters, lol. (seen that video, right?)

  • Same for me. Training a modest Kirlia with the Trace Ability (grrr...) in the Old Chateau, ran into a shiny Gastly, caught it, and found out it had a Modest nature. I'm like omfg holy crap! I really lucked out.

  • Lots of luck lives in that place, perhaps. Shame about the Trace ability, but so lucky with that nature. I'd say Modest and Rash (mine) are both about the same goodness for Gengar, since Timid is ideal. Lol, I was more like "........." and just laughed.

  • I'll agree. There IS lots of luck in that place. I have a shiny Rotom to prove it. :)

  • Yup, perhaps the strange ominous feel of abandoned, haunted houses is just a concentration of luck particles in the air...

  • ok thats a shim srry

  • Hahahah! what the f**k? Naga Queen is evolving!

  • Yup yup.

  • nice so im gonna try to get a shiny rotom

  • im also thinking of a shiny rotom or giratina and also i would like to catch a shiny giratina in platium wen i get it

  • Sounds like a good choice. I'm at 10250 SRs for my second shiny Giratina (first one is on video here).

  • well my brother traded me a shiny charizard,raquaza,milotic,and gallade i was just hoping the easiest to catch wat u recomend

  • Well, there are plenty of Magikarp in the sea... the easiest to catch would be something like Gastly in the Old Chateau (see my video of that shiny). Depends what you mean by easiest.

  • i want to start my 1st shiny hunt but i dont no who to get plz help

  • Well, I don't know what Pokemans you like... so I can't choose for you.

  • i caught mine in victory road lv 7 w/ the old rod...

    1st try 2

  • Buy a lottery ticket while you're at it...

  • lmao 2 young, 2 more yrs

  • Aw, that sucks... but perhaps your luck was used up on getting the shiny anyway.

  • i waqs just thinking about a shiny magikarp at the moment and how random it would be if it was golden....

    pow it happend

    i also have the shiny golden magikarp pokemon card as welll =)

  • Mine appeared when I had just put down my DS to check my computer... then I looked at the screen from a distance and got a pleasant surprise. Similar to my random shiny Burmy.

  • haha nice

  • lol gongratz on ur red gyarados sum good ivs as well

  • Thanks... and yep, the IVs were very awesome. After a Dragon Dance it's JUST enough to outspeed max-speed Jolly Weavile :O.

  • haha sweet

  • only today i caught a legit shiny magikarp in platinum^^

  • Congoats. Hopefully not a level 100 one... that would suck so much.

  • haha i know and lumineon is even worse than finneon

  • Yeah, they're pretty lame. So are their shiny colours...

  • i found a shiny finneon fishing

  • Congoats.... I mean, congrats on that shiny. Shame it's not as cool as a red Gyarados, though.

  • i try this when i`am ev traing my wevlie

  • Good idea, as that achieves 2 purposes at once :P.

  • man alls I have is shiny pigyout from FR I tranceferd it to DP but I wana good shiny Any one wana tade for shiny pigyout

  • I've never heard of Pigyout... is that a 5th gen Pokemon? You're right that it's not a good shiny, sadly. My video comment space isn't a trade thread, sorry.
