Top 10 Worst Ways to Fail a Shiny Pokemon

My project of the last 3 weeks is finally finished! So, here it is! What I believe are the Top 10 WORST ways to fail a shiny Pokemon!

I'm taking suggestions for Top 10s and trivia videos too, so if you want to see something in particular, then let me know in the comments! If I end up making a video based on your comment then I'll feature it in the video! :D

I also implemented a lot of experimental editing techniques in this video (hence why it was in the making for so long) so please let me know what you think of it!

MASSIVE thank you to (in order of appearance) Elliot and Dallas for letting me use footage from their videos for this!

Extra dingus points if you can spot the part where a shiny Pokemon magically returns to its regular colours for a couple of seconds, which was *definitely* intentional! Have a great day! :D

CandyEvie: "Explosion is must commonly associated with geodude and graveller"
Electrode: "Am I a joke to you?"

I found a shiny Absol once in XY. I was on my very last ball, so I went “I’ll give it ooone hit to give myself better odds to catch it”.
…critical hit, and my Pokémon went “It did a critical hit because it loves you!”.
I was crushed.

Getting a shiny and forgetting to save. Then your DS dies

[ProBotGamming]

Accidentally clicking run instead of bag.
That happened today

[larsvinterqvist]

The most humiliating one would be the Shiny actually blacking YOU out lmao

“If you haven’t had a game freeze on you, you’re lucky.”
Laughs in ds that can freeze if i PUT IT DOWN

When she soft reseted the treecko killed me

[RRedux_]

the way i lost a shiny:
1.said shiny defeating me
2.shiny running away
3.not having ANY pokeballs

I have another one. It's called "accidentally hitting the run button".

I found a shiny Audino in Black, and was like "Why is this purple? I'll get it with a quick ball."
Then I hit run instead of bag.
Then I googled purple Audino and had my day ruined.


And then a few years later, in Omega Ruby, random encounter shiny Audino. I choose to believe they are the same one

[die_potato]

I can ABSOLUTELY relate to #1. That exact scenario hasn't happened to me, but similar things have, where you just get in the groove of resetting, and then you see what you're looking for for less than a second before BAM

It's gone forever

4:14 don’t you just love it when your shiny paints it’s self and shakes it off revealing that it is not a shiny but then putting the paint back on

[elin]

Find a shiny, but the coloration change is so minimal you can't tell it's shiny and you were listening to a podcast or something so you couldn't hear the sparkle.

[Morgil]

I once had a shiny skuntank in Diamond use the move Memento. To this day I cannot see stunky or skuntank without flying into a rage.

[haizien]

I found my *first shiny ever* in Pokemon Pearl, a shiny Graveler.

Graveler used self destruct.

[brksae]

As a kid I came across a Shiny Ghastly in Pokemon HG in the bellsprout tower.. at that point you dont have pokeballs yet..
So I went to a pokemart and bought pokeballs and kept running in the same spot believing it'd show up again..

[eskimojoe]

What about forgetting to save after catching a shiny!!

[RaisinPellet]

The first shiny I ever saw was a shiny Electrode in the power plant in Leaf Green. I was confused by it being blue on the bottom instead of red so I assumed my game had glitched. I restarted my GameBoy and was happy to click on the PokeBall on the ground to find a normal Electrode with red on the bottom, thinking that I fixed the glitch.
I later looked up what might've caused that and learned all about shiny Pokemon, and I kicked myself for letting that one go without even knowing how rare it was.

[keego]

I found a Shiny in a hoard and right before I even did my first move...



My 3DS Died...
