 Hello friends, welcome to today's video where we're going to cover all the details you need to know about shiny hunting in Pokemon Legends Arceus. So by now, hopefully all of you have your own copies of Legends Arceus and you've started your playthroughs and if you have I hope you're enjoying them. For those that you are still waiting on your pre-orders arriving, I pray that they arrive soon. Getting into today's video, we're going to cover all the details you need to know about shiny hunting and some methods to do this and easily get shinies in this new Pokemon game. So to start us off, we're going to hop over to Twitter because Anubis who is what a very famous data miner of the games put out a tweet yesterday in regards to the shiny rates in Pokemon Legends Arceus. So big shout out to them, their handle is linked below. I'd definitely give them a follow if you're interested in this sort of thing because they're always putting out very good reliable information. Now you can see the full shiny odds for catching a shiny Pokemon in Pokemon Legends Arceus is one in 4096. That's kind of the standard full shiny odds that we've got and had in other kind of generations of the Pokemon games. But the interesting things are the new facilities we've got in Legends Arceus and how they tie into increasing those shiny odds as we go through. So the first thing that we can see here in this table below is that the Pokedex Research level 10 increases your shiny chances. It gives you an extra roll. So the full odds you get one roll with a Pokemon that has that complete 10 research level in your Pokedex, you'll get two rolls. So technically the chances of catching that specific shiny or that specific shiny spawning in the wild is one in 2048, which is pretty good. So what do we mean by research tabs? I'm sure you're all aware of it, but if we hop into game here, we're going to have a look at our Pokedex. And you can kind of see each Pokemon has a research level. Now I have finished the Pokedex completely. So all the Pokemon that I have have that complete level 10. This means that I have for every single Pokemon that is available to catch in the wild, I will have that increased shiny chance. So that's all of that is referring to. Then if we look at the next kind of increased chance you're going to have the Pokedex research is perfect. So if that level is perfect, so the next stage after 10 is perfect. That means everything that a Pokemon has its criteria, all of those everything in this box is ticked. Now I unfortunately don't have anything that is complete, but some things are very close to being complete. Shinks there, Luxio is very close, but nothing is complete. Now when a Pokemon is complete, you will actually get a star next to the Pokeball. Arceus is the only thing that I have reference to that is complete. It's only got one task, but you need to complete all the tasks to get that perfect research level. And you see it does say perfect on there. And then that is what this kind of next level is referring to. If you've got a perfect research level, you're going to get four rolls on a shiny spawning. And that will give you a one in 1024 chance of a shiny spawning. If you've got the Pokedex research level at 10 and you've got the shiny charm, you get five re-roll. So that's even better than the perfect registration and that is one in 819. So that's really good. And that's what I would be running off in game at the minute because I've got the shiny charm. I've got everything on level 10. So that would be my odds of a shiny popping up in the wild. Now, if you combine those with a perfect kind of registration on the Pokedex, you're going to have one in 585, which is pretty good. And then we get down to the juice of it. This is where things get very interesting. You're going to get mass outbreaks, which is a new facility in Pokemon Legends, Arceus, which are very much similar to swarms in Brilliant Diamond and Chernobyl. If you're aware of those, if not, then it's just a selection of Pokemon, a specific Pokemon appearing in one specific area in the Hesui region. You're going to be able to kind of go there and it will just be those Pokemon that will be there for a mass outbreak for a limited amount of time. We'll get into the details of that later on in this guide. But for mass outbreak Pokemon, they're shiny odds. So you're going to get 26 rerolls on the shiny kind of chances. So you're going to have a one in 158 chance of a shiny appearing. And this is a facility that is accessible like an hour, an hour and a half into the game. So very early on into your playthrough, you're going to have access to this method of shiny hunting. Then these increase, obviously, if you've got the Pokedex entry at level 10 with the mass outbreak, you're going to get an extra reroll. That's one in 152 chance. And then with the perfect Pokedex entry with the mass outbreak, you're going to get 29 rerolls. So one in 141. If you've got the shiny charm and the level 10 dex entry with the mass outbreak, you're going to have a one in 137 chance. And then the best overall shiny odds that you're going to get in a mass outbreak is going to be with the perfect Pokedex entry, the shiny charm and the mass outbreak. It's going to give you a one in 128 chance of catching a Pokemon. So that's all in all the shiny chances. There's not much in it between just doing a mass outbreak if you're starting your game and then having the increase of a perfect dex entry and the shiny charm to kind of like stack on top of that. So there isn't too much difference there, although they do make the odds a little bit different, I guess. So getting into game. We've went through everything that we kind of need to know about the shiny odds and how to understand those in the game. What we need to now know is mass outbreaks in the game and how to access them. So there's a few prerequisites we need to do before we go into the shiny hunting method. One of the things I would advise all of you to do is come to your settings. Make sure that you have your auto saves disabled. Don't have your auto saves on this can mess the whole thing up. First things first. Next thing is an optional thing or having the background music off. Obviously it is an option. So they're the two things in the settings that you need to have. The other things that you're going to want to have before you go out set out are going to be Pokeballs. Definitely have a bunch of those. Have things that you can feed Pokemon with berries, cakes, other things like that. And you can also grab yourself some like stealth spray as well. One of the vendors or the shop in Jubilife Village. That will help especially if you're coming up against like baby Pokemon or Pokemon that get spooked pretty easily and then can run away and you can lose the shiny. You don't want that to happen. So the things you want to do to shiny hunt mass outbreak Pokemon are heading to Jubilife Village. Speaking to the NPC character at the main entrance. And you'll give you one of two responses either asking you which location you'd like to visit or that he spotted mass outbreaks around the region. Now you'll enter the map and if the mass outbreaks are active you'll see little icon Pokemon of a certain areas within the map. And also if you do engage with this NPC character and he doesn't have the mass outbreak message or if there are Pokemon that are mass outbreak that you don't want to hunt and you want to change those up. What you can do is visit any location on the map. Just talk to the professor as soon as you get there in the campsite and head back to Jubilife Village. Doing this will reset most of the outbreaks on the map and generate new ones if you didn't have them there before. At this stage you want to just pick whichever Pokemon you want to shiny hunt and head to that location. Once here you want to open up your map before you do anything else and then put a pin in the location of where the mass outbreak is on the map and then proceed to save your game. Do not leave the campsite at this stage just save your game. Soon as you've saved your game you're free to leave and head over to where the mass outbreak is located. Once you've located the mass outbreak when you approach the mass outbreak it will consist of four Pokemon of the species that you'll be hunting. You'll get a little sign pop up over the screen to tell you as soon as you get close enough to the mass outbreak you've discovered the mass outbreak that has been spotted and then proceed to either catch the Pokemon in the mass outbreak or engage in battle and defeat them. Every time you catch or defeat a Pokemon in the mass outbreak a new one will spawn to take its place as long as the mass outbreak is continuing. And if you continue to repeat this process of catching or defeating these Pokemon and continuing the respawns at some point you'll hopefully get lucky and eventually get a shiny Pokemon respawning in one of these defeated or caught slots. Now as soon as the Pokemon stop respawning that is when you know that the mass outbreak has finished. At this stage you can do one of two things. You can clear out the rest of the mass outbreak, Pokemon catch them all and you'll get a message on the screen saying that the mass outbreak has finished or you can just quit at this point and reset your game. Once you've reset your game and you're at the campsite area what you want to do is head directly back to Duba Life Village. Speak to the professor and he'll take you back. Now once at this location this is where you want to go back into the NPC character and check the map for mass outbreaks again. Hopefully at this point if your chain is continuing then you'll have another respawn of the Pokemon that you were just hunting in the same area. If this is the case you want to go back into this location and then repeat the process that we did in that first step open the map, check where the outbreak is and then come and save your game. After this proceed to head to where the outbreak is and rinse and repeat the process, catch the Pokemon until the mass outbreak finishes. Hopefully in that time you're going to get something that spawns which is a shiny. If not then just repeat the whole process again come out of your game, come back in and then head back to Duba Life Village come back into the map and hope that the chain continues again for this mass outbreak in that location. Now these are the simple steps to doing this process hopefully along the way you will get a shiny. The odds are pretty good and you should get a shiny at some point but if you're not fortunate enough to get a shiny through these processes just keep repeating this and if at any point you do leave the campsite and then go back into the map and then the spawn location isn't active you can then reset the game once again and trying to get that same mass outbreak Pokemon active in the location again will be possible, just keep resetting and trying again. I think what we'll do is we'll go into a different area we'll get rid of the Electabuzz and we'll see if we can get something else into this area we'll come back out. The Electabuzz is still there then it is a chain continuing if it has changed though we'll try and see what has spawned and give something else a go so there we go oh we got a Pip-Lup, okay this is beautiful so we got a Pip-Lup spawn in the Cobalt Coastline which is great, one of the starter Pokemon and definitely something I would love to get a shiny off so as soon as we are here, as we've done before what we want to do is identify where the Pip-Lup is kind of spawning put a pin down and then we want to just continue to save the game here because we will try and chain this if we are not lucky enough to get it the first time and we want to just make our way across to where the spawn location is so if we kind of creep as close to these Pip-Lups as we can what we want to do is just try and snipe them off with Ultra Balls so see if we can catch as many of them as possible okay yeah that is going to be the end of it, no more spawning so no shiny Pip-Lup this time again what we'll do is just reset and see if the chain continues for Pip-Lups so we'll go back into Jubalite Village and we'll check and the Pip-Lup is still active so the chain is continuing which is really good so we can come back into the Cobalt Coastline and as soon as we get here we've already got the marker down for where the Pip-Lup is so we can just proceed to save our game and hope this time is the lucky chain so we'll make our way across to where the mass outbreak is kind of land and then hopefully not get spotted and that is ideal so no shiny appearing to start with we'll just try and feed them again because that seemed to work really well last time and just attract them over to where we are okay that is the end of the mass outbreak so what we're going to do is just reset the game again come back in and see if this chain continues once again so back in game we just want to exit this area we have safety here remember so this is that was the second chain and then we'll be coming in for the third one so I'll see if we've got third time lucky once we get back to Jubilife Village we want to just check with the NPC character and hope that the Pip-Lup is still there it is still there so we're going for this third chain this time with the Pip-Lup hopefully this is the one and we can get this Pip-Lup to make our way into the grass and hopefully get ourselves lucky with a shiny Pip-Lup this time around we're all pretty close to us now so we should be able to start just picking these ones off with an Ultra Ball and we get this shiny no shiny just yet we'll try and pick that one off if we can and then I guess we're going to have to lure some in with some of our bean cakes and stuff I think that's it I don't think there's only three now I don't think they're spawning in anymore there's a little bit of a shame so what that means we're going to have to reset yeah there's only three now they're still spawning no that's it yeah that's it it's over no shinies in this one so again we'll do the same we'll just reset and we'll start over again here's a backing game once again and we are going to be just returning to Jubilife Village as we have done and then we've got to hope that this chain continues for a fourth time running if it does that would be amazing and our chances of getting the shiny are getting better and better if it does continue and it doesn't continue there but what we can do is it doesn't continue that doesn't mean it's the end of it this is a good example we just reset the game again and we'll leave that area and then we'll come back into Jubilife Village and see if the chain continues because there is a chance sometimes it will not be there sometimes it will be there so you just have to be patient in this process okay so we're trying once again we're going to go back to Jubilife Village and this time what we want to do is try again hopefully it is the Piplop and not the Shellos this time it is the Piplop again so Piplop fourth time running let's go back and hopefully see if we can get this one this is the fourth chain in a row where we'll be trying to get the Piplop so first things first what we want to do is just save our game and then head over we've done the past few times to where the mass outbreak is so we're back at the outbreak again for the fourth time so as you see it has activated we can kind of creep into the grass and hopefully we're going to be able to snipe this one straight away there we go another one does spawn but still no shiny still respawning so that's a good sign just keep spawning that's what we want come on get this shiny we need the shiny what is it? yeah that's it okay for the fourth time no shiny so again do the same process reset and come back into game and see if this chain will continue once again okay we're going to go for the fifth time lucky now let's see if it does continue back in juba life moment of truth it is continuing that is great we've got different mass outbreaks on the map but the Piplop is still there so the fifth time we're going for this one again as soon as we get in know the drill got to save first thing we do and then head straight over to the outbreak and there we go you can hear the shiny is there so we finally got it we finally got it this shiny sound has done it so we need to be very careful about this and make sure that we get this shiny but we've finally been able to do it so we need to get it we don't want to mess this up in any way shape or form I can't believe it we don't want to scare this shiny off though so where is the shiny I think it's the furthest one away that's not the shiny there we need to draw it in it's so far away please don't run off please don't run off right let's try and get them all here let's just drop as many cakes as we can so far away it's coming it's on its way there he is there's the shiny that's the one we want oh no I've used the wrong item on it and chased it off oh we hit it why did we do that oh my god I'm doing everything that I can to not get this shiny don't say the shiny is gone okay it's alright it's alright it's alright it's alright because we can reset the game we know the shiny is here it's spawning on this so we totally messed that up the shiny ran off got very excited but as we saved we know that the shiny will be there when we go back to it which is the good thing we just had a little bit of a panic I couldn't believe that the shiny spawned in as soon as we got there so very excited and what we need to do now is just come back into the game good job we saved where we did we don't need to do any more resets or anything we just need to head straight back to the area again okay so we're making our way around the corner we should hear the shiny sound as we come around this bend this is where we heard it before there we go we can hear it we can hear it and this time we want to be a bit more careful to make sure we get the shiny and it doesn't run away but it's alright we've got it saved so no matter what happens we're going to be alright we just need to draw it in I'm going to let the shiny through why is the shiny the farthest thing away we've got more food bean cake we like bean cakes alright let's get our ultra ball at the ready because I feel like it's close enough now where we could potentially draw a ball at it we just need the other one to get out of the way there we go we got we aimed we fired please catch it please catch it yes we got it we got the shiny okay there we go right well that is a mission complete now so we don't really mind about the other ones that are there head back to the camp and we can take a look at our shiny piplop that we managed to successfully change so that is how you chain shinies in this game with the mass outbreak function we'll just get rid of these for a second and then we will get our shiny little piplop there we go so friends that is how we do it and then we can just kind of save from this point and then head back to juba life you can see that you get the shiny little icon there on the pokemon and that is a nice way for us to be able to do it and that was five chains in a row that we managed to successfully kind of keep going which is ideal that's exactly what you want you're not going to get that lucky every time but that's the method to doing it so hopefully you found it useful friends and hopefully you have a lot of success in doing it yourselves thank you so much for tuning in to this guide useful and I hope you have a lot of success doing your shiny hunts and definitely let me know down in the comment section below if you've got any questions or if you've had any success shiny hunting already in pokemon legends arceus obviously you can access this very early on in your playthrough so you can start shiny hunting very early on obviously you need to get further into your playthrough to access the different areas of the hisu region but that will not take you long and you'll be able to have access to all these pokemon in no time so friends thank you so much for tuning in have a great rest of your day and I'll catch you all for another video on the channel very soon so until then take care and bye bye
