Pokemon Ruby & Sapphire, but I can only use SHINIES?!

...This may have been a mistake.

Since around halfway through the original franchise nuzlocke series, I always had the thought in the back of my mind saying "You know what would be absolutely unhinged and hilarious? If we did this again with only shiny Pokemon." and the intrusive thoughts won. So here we are, Shiny Only Season 2 baby!

► THE EDITOR: @NickNoir

Rules of the challenge:
1. All encounters must be shiny Pokemon (HM users may not be shiny but are not allowed to be used for attacking in battle)
2. Fainting = Death
3. Can only catch one Pokémon on each Route (Species Clause)
4. Cannot use a species of Pokemon more than once in the franchise (regional variants are considered separate)
5. No items in battle (held items okay)
6. No leveling past the next gym leader/E4 (at the START of the battle)
7. Play on "Set" battle mode

Me too man. Me too

@15:09 There is a fan game called "this gym of mine" that puts you in the position of a gym leader fending off challengers.

I just RNGed my Platinum and the Cute Charm glitch is absurd. Once you get the IDs its just nonstop shinies. Enjoy your smooth sailing through Gen IV!

The RNG manipulations are a lot more interesting than “and then I reset my game 8.000 times on a static encounter to get a shiny”

[alexwhitby]

I totally agree that RNG manipulation is a valid method of shiny hunting. And I realise PokéTubers have schedules they need to try and hit so they can get vids out on time etc., but I always think it's a shame when RNG is used for vids like this instead out it being up to chance, seeing surprised reactions etc.

Watching the vods and seeing the Jirachi hunt was certainly an experience

[Landon_H]

before we even get there yes I think that cute charm glitch is a valid way to shiny hunt

[jasonqualls]

RNG manip is 100% valid. If you were altering shiny odds, yeai would have an issue but rng manipulation is legit

[WTPokemonToons-rkci]

Creative ideas, quality videos. I really like the way you build and use Pokemon properly in this episode.

Blue Eyes is better than Red Eyes? Laughs in Red Eyes Dark Dragoon

There is this fan game called pokeom tgm (this gym of mine) where you can play as a gym leader if you are looking for something like that. And love the videos!

I hope Mawile gets a use sometime in this challenge. It always bugs me how it's version counterpart (Sableye) gets all the love outside gen 6

[Disguised_Cat]

I fucking love RNG manipulation I love seeing technical hunting!

[charchar]

The only people who think rng manips are cheating are people who've never tried it

[danlay]

i heard "mirror match" and saw the nickname for swellow being "bird up" and i was like there's no way this guy doesnt love yugioh

As someone whos been RNG manipping through my copy of ruby (and 2 japanese copies of ruby and sapphire) for the past year after finally getting my full odds, decade long hunt for a shiny poochyena during some random EV training during living dex hunts, youre absolutely valid for this King. When i beat the Sapphire for my Kyogre im resetting it and the ruby to RNG clone them, reset for all 3 starters, and POC on one while trading over the version exclusives from the other.

I think the shiny nuzlocke series should be a side thing you do in the background while doing some other nuzlocke as the main content

[ilovegarradors]

My guess is Lunatone learns Ice Beam because the moon is so cold. Allowing it to have another parallel to Solrock that is linked to heat with fire type moves.

[TheSimsofTrever]

lunatone prob gets ice beam bc the moon is cold and its counter pa
rt is the hot sun
