Let's Abuse RNG to Catch a Shiny Pokemon | Tech Rules Bits

[TechRules]

Hey everyone! It's been a little while since the last video! Just a little while though, promise. You don't need to check. Please do not check.

As always, please let me know of any mistakes I made in any of my explanations. Any good correction I see will receive a heart. This video was recorded in real time, so there may even be more mistakes than usual. In fact, I already found one while watching back the video: I said "Pokemon ID" numerous times in this video, when I really meant Pokemon personality values. In the context of the video, it doesn't really change any of the explanations, but it's an important distinction to make.

Also, the deadline for the giveaway is July 10th. Be sure to enter before then if you want that shiny Pokemon! The link for it is in the description!

I don't care, I'm gonna waste an entire afternoon trying to catch a shiny Pokemon using only the information gained from this video anyway

7:03 - Eggs are no longer special as of Generation VIII. Infamously, someone got a shiny Applin through the Masuda Method on their Switch. They had autosave disabled, so they were able to reset to have an unhatched Shiny Applin in an egg, then they traded it to their fiance just before their wedding. Despite what should have happened, the Applin stayed shiny on her save file, which either led or confirmed that egg trading no longer alters if a Pokémon will be shiny or not.

when you accidentally catch a shiny golbat instead of a shiny alolan dugtrio

honestly 11 y/o me would have no issue doing something this convoluted just to get a shiny

[dominicsacoolguy]

As a shiny hunter, I’d say this is totally fine, as doing this whole process seems way more mind melting than just hunting one

Reminds me of the time I tried to RNG a shiny Nincada on Emerald and instead landed on a shiny Abra a few frames ahead of my target.

I can't help but find it amazing how the Pokemon community took a confusing algorithm and broke it down into easy to grasp concept like "shiny values". The working out is beautiful too, especially the part about discarding lower bits, which is the part that determines if the resulting value is lower than 16 if all else matches.

“TELL ME MY SHINY CHANCE!”
“I can—can’t”
“YES YOU CAN, DONT PLAY GAMES WITH ME BOY!”
“Nin-Nintendo will kill mu-me if I tell yo-you”

me, with a light shining at my incineroar, shouting at my incineroar: "what is my trainer shiny value"

Tech Rules: *makes 2 videos in the same year*
Everybody: That doesn't make sense

[PokeshadowYT]

"Show me the shiny!"
Shiny Golbat "Ok :)"

[jazzync]

“A quick video on it, I hope”

That Golbat is full odds. That's astoundingly fortunate. Also, that's hilarious.

23:55 That was freaking hilarious. 'Excuse me?!'

25:35 And it breaking out made this 50 times better. RNG is not a woman to just let you go for free. This time she charged one masterball.

"I know it's not been long since the last one"

A well aged script, I see

[mads_in_zero]

_That_ was a volume warning? Oh please, I've watched Chuggaaconroy.

[SquigglyTheAsianPotato]

Tech: yeah go on, break out of that!
Dugtrio: *breaks out*
Tech: *surprised pikachu face*

0:18 Oh thank god. I was worried for a second that I had clicked on a guide.

Skillshare felt a lot like YouTube to me that you pay for. The programming tutorials felt really unpolished and I was a little disappointed
