    Fun fact for anyone interested: While 1/8192 maybe the probability, it's not saying that after 8192 rolls one is guaranteed to be shiny. To find the probability that none of them are, you would do 8191/8192 (The chance of any individual roll NOT being a shiny) and raise it to the power of however many rolls you want to calculate the probability of. In our case, it's 8192. This would give you 0.3678569865. Or, after 8192 attempts, there's a 36.786% chance that NONE of the pokemon you encountered will be shiny. As the amount of rolls you do approach infinity, your chance will approach 100%. It's true for every random chance, no matter what it is. Even it's possible to have a coin flip land heads 100 times in a row, despite having a 1 in 2 chance of getting it, but as you flip it more and more times, the chance it will eventually land heads increases.

    When I played pokemon crystal when it came out I remember walking through one of the first caves and finding a shiny Geodude on the first encounter. When Ruby/sapphire came out I used rock smash on those boulders blocking you from the sand area and got a shine geodude again. I thought it was guaranteed people would find those when I was younger.

    A friend and I built a script to soft reset a gen 3 emulator and ended up with a ton of cool data. A lot of pokemon were actually close to the 8000, but sometimes we got lucky. 2 of our regi's were in the 200 to 400 range, while rayquaza was closer to 50 thousand.

    Though I'm not a streamer, my luckiest shiny happened during a shiny badge quest race between me and two friends in alpha sapphire. I had just beaten Wattson, and decided to do a gulpin hunt through dexnav. I had done the same thing with lotad at the beginning of the journey, which took a few days, putting me well behind. I expected this to be another really long hunt, but after i knocked out two gulpin, the third shined. I know I'll never be that lucky again, but the three encounter gulpin will forever live in infamy in my friend group!

    i remember seeing this clip in a shiney reaction compilation of a guy finishing a hunt in one of the 3ds games, catching his shiney, going to see another pokemon and getting it on the first encounter thus getting two shineys in a row. i can't see to find it anymore but that clip was so crazy to look at omg update: found it. it was in usum's wormholes which have MUCH better odds but still pretty crazy doubleshiney encounter imo ua-cam.com/video/3o7mvakEEsg/v-deo.htmlsi=rBl8E8izaR3kVo30

    By the way, you reach 50/50 odds at 5678 attempts. (Easy to remember number!) So if you take more than 5678 attempts for a single shiny, you are officially unlucky (though possibly only slightly).

  • @James-vc1kc
    @James-vc1kc День тому

    i've seen this aspect of unluckiness captured a lot in runescape actually. somebody went over 10 times the drop rate for an item from an npc, which to my understanding, would be like that man going more than 81,920 encounters without a shiny registeel. somebody else also went so dry on an item, that the developers checked the code to see if it was bugged, and it was!

  • @franekelas6798
    @franekelas6798 День тому

    My luckiest hunt was Ralts (1/512 chance) that I got on my 3rd try. It was my second shiny ever. My first one was Charmander (same odds) that I got after 27 tries. At that point I thought shiny hunting was eeeeeasy. So the game threw me a shiny Drampa (same odds) after 1092 tries. Just to show that I should have been more humble lol

    One time, I was grinding my team in HeartGold. The animations kept taking up too much time so I turned them off and kept going. The literal next encounter was a Shiny Rattata. In 2023, I was hunting Shiny Dusclops via the PokeRadar, I reached the Shaymin route, used the Radar and I picked the flashy-flashy grass that's more likely to have rare Pokémon. It was a Shiny Floatzel. I struggled to sleep thanks to the excitement.

    I don't shiny hunt, but I like to EV train in the wild. Something about it is just really chill and calming, and I run into a decent amount of shinies while playing (maybe 1 per playthrough or every other playthrough). Was EV training defense in Oreburgh mine in Platnium and after I finished, I ran into a shiny Geodude while leaving the cave. Immediately upon entering route 207, I ran into a shiny Ponyta. Probably the unlikeliest thing to have happened to me in Pokemon, or anywhere really. I've always wanted to know the odds of this but I felt like asking online would come off as more of a lying brag than a real question, but this is the perfect comment section to ask this: what the hell are the odds of that?

    I was just doing a casual playthrough off Pokemon XY and I got 2 crits in a row on tackle. crit is a 6.25% chance of happening, it happened twice so it's 6.25%•6.25% or 0.0625•0.0625=0.00390625 to percentage it's 0.390625% or 0.4% (1/250) now this isn't even the start at the forest I encounter a shiny and I don't have any Pokeballs as I used all of it on a ralts so I just tried to kill it, I missed tackle thrice! (tackle has a 1/20 chance of missing) and here's how the math works 1^3/20^3 1•1•1=1, 20•20•20=8,000 that was a fucking 1/8,000 chance of happening and in XY it's a 1/4096 chance of encountering so on top of the 1/8000 of missing 3 tackles consecutively there's a shiny that's a 1/4096 chance. I hate my life! why didn't this luck happen when I was trying to make a living dex of shiny Mons in frlg?!

Considering I caught it at lvl 27, I prob caught early-mid game so prob 40ish pokemon encounters in. I aslo SOS'd for a shiny Sandyghast in Pokemon Sun.

    My luckiest moment is definitely that time I was searching for that 1% bagon in route 1 of Sun and Moon, and, before I even found it, I got 2 shiny Pokemon in under 100 encounters! A shiny comfey and a shiny alola rattata! Absolutely insane! Like... I wasn't even shiny hunting, I just wanted to get that 1% bagon. And I got two shiny Pokemon before that little dragon even appeared! Lmao It was in my casual playthrough of the game so I dont have the video evidence, but I still have the 2 shinies in my copy. But anyway, probably the craziest moment in any of my pokemon playthroughs, I peaked there and its never going to come back

    I love how at the end he said that hobbiests are more likely to give up than not get a shiny at 20,000. In my case, while I respect it, active shiny hunting doesn't appeal to me long enough to go 1,000 attempts without automating it.

    Although it's not on video, and probably not the absolute luckiest since it happened in Pokemon Shield rather than an older game, I once got a shiny psyduck on my second encounter. I was couldn't decide whether to be happy or annoyed since it was meant to be a break/change of scenery from my main hunt of my favourite pokemon that just had reached 5000 encounters.
