Unfortunately, there are some mistakes in this video, as pointed out by commentors. I hope that doesn't hinder your enjoyment of it!

Quick correction on the "all static legendaries after Gen 5 are locked" thing: ORAS is also somewhat of an exception to this! The box legendaries (Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza) and Deoxys are locked, but the Regis, Latis (both the story gift one and the eon ticket one) and anything that comes out of a Hoopa ring are huntable.

What if, when buying a Sitting Cutie online, there was a 1/8, 192 chance of your purchase being shiny on arrival?

A game with all shiny hunting methods from Poké Radar to Friend Safari to SOS Hunting would actually be so busted and I want it.

[HIGHLY REGRET THIS VIDEO] goes hard ngl

13:28 My Mom and I had got some of those Mega Star disk at a convention this summer in the US. I got a red Garadose disk along with a lot of non-shiny. They were really cool to look at.

There are a few things you forgot to mention:
If you have a 100% PLA file on the same Switch as BDSP, you can shiny hunt Arceus in BDSP and it is the first time since Platinum you can shiny hunt a mythical Pokémon.
Pokemon Go is most likely at some point going to release the unreleased shiny Pokémon making those Pokemon Go exclusive. Shiny Mew and Genesect outside Japan you could only get legit in Pokémon Go.
Next April, 3 shiny huntable Pokemon will be trade only with Bank shutting down. They are Manaphy, Type Null, and Poipole.

Slight correction on the 2.0 SV outbreaks. Yes the rare forms of certain pokemon can spawn but ONLY if there is an associated wild spawn with it. Meaning authentic sinistea can be an outbreak because it can normally spawn in the wild while a 3 segment dudunsparce outbreak will never happen since only the 2 segment form can appear in the wild.

Some fun triva. Pokemon XD was actually the first game to use a shiny lock, as the shadow Pokemon can not be shiny in that game. It was supposed to be implemented as early as Pokemon Colosseum. But there was an oversight in the programming, allowing for it to turn into a shiny Pokemon once you snag it. They fixed that in the sequel game.

My first Shiny was a Taillow in Ruby. But as I didn't have a backlit screen I didn't realise till I was checking its stats.

[Broham]

My favourite part is that the shiny Noctowl isn't even using it's actual shiny colour

[cossakrose]

The fact that you mentioned IVs used to be called DVs just put this video into the top percentage (of Rattatas). Most videos on this topic tend to just skip that fun fact.

[PinkWytchBytch]

It took me 3 years to find my first shiny. Worth it, but I want a better method than just leaving it up to chance, I nearly hunted the nickits to extinction trying to find the shiny

[chilliboi]

Great video, love the editing style and format.

[Zeknator]

The shiny ditto method is one in 64. That sounds really good, but it is like any other. It takes forever. I used it to get Charizard. (You can use a glitch in RBY to get a guaranteed shiny ditto if you trade over a shiny from GSC)

[masmurdermonkey]

9:25 You can also find shiny Pokémon on any team. Or on the starter rental passes. You can even obtain them if you look for them in the gateway colosseum. Though, if they don’t send the shiny out, you can’t keep it.
Then you actually have to beat the colosseum.
I figured it’s worth mentioning as I don’t see many people mention it and there are some pretty cool finds on YouTube. And I got a Snorlax myself from trying it.

[brycehogland]

Correction: you CAN see shiny pokemon in the regular gameboy. Even though you might not be able to tell the color, the "shiny animation" signals to the player that theyve come across a shiny. (Thats why the animation is there)

[dmphax]

Probably already mentioned, but I have a shiny Celebi plush from Pokémon Center, there are a few shiny plush available

32:52 "not that broken"
R Greninja, a staple in many standard decks: "am I a joke to you?!"

It seems like a common theme to point out mistakes in the comments, so I'll add my own: I'm currently double-hunting in Sun and Ultra-Sun for a shiny Litten, and I have to inform you that USUM's starter hunt is faster than SM's. Game Freak trimmed a lot of fat off the intro in USUM, and the time that it takes to actually encounter your Pokémon has been improved greatly. It still isn't perfect, there's an awful lot of bullshit still, but it's so much faster getting encounters on USUM.
