Shiny hunters are Arceus’ strongest troopers within the Pokémon neighborhood, however I believe we might have discovered the strongest amongst them. One fan did a considerably unorthodox Shiny hunt not in one of many Pokémon RPGs, however in a 20-year-old battle simulator spin-off on the Wii. Gathering these alternate-colored monsters in it’s way more difficult than doing so in your common Pokémon sport.
Consumer Noa_Kyogre on X (thanks, Gamesradar) took 5 years to seek out Shiny costumes in Pokémon Battle Revolution. The Wii sport doesn’t have wild Pokémon encounters, however its numerous trainers can gown up as monsters if the participant chooses to put on themed outfits primarily based on creatures like Groudon, Kyogre, Roserade, and Lucario. Nevertheless, it’s attainable to seek out these outfits of their respective Pokémon’s Shiny colours, akin to a yellow-and-green Lucario somewhat than its traditional blue-and-black coloration scheme. It can simply take you hundreds of hours of playtime to do it.
You possibly can purchase these outfits by beating a coach sporting them within the sport’s single-player mode, however every of those trainers exhibits up throughout what is actually a protracted boss rush of high-level battles, and their outfits have as little an opportunity of fixing as a uncommon Pokémon has of displaying up in a base sport. That’s a roughly 1 in 8192 spawn likelihood.

So, if you wish to Shiny hunt these outfits, you’ll need to reload and battle by these battles again and again simply to get one among them. That wasn’t sufficient for Noa_Kyogre, who has collected the total set of six, not as soon as however twice, and asserts they’re the primary individual to take action. The double dipping got here from discovering the total set in each the Japanese and worldwide variations of the sport.
It’s undoubtedly well worth the bragging rights, however is it well worth the seemingly madness you’ll topic your self to to be able to get it? In all probability not, and Noa_Kyogre says they’ll never do it again. I’m shocked they didn’t come to that conclusion the primary time by.
Pokémon Battle Revolution was fairly maligned again within the day for being extra of a battle simulator than a full-blown sport, nevertheless it does nonetheless have among the finest animations of the sequence’ 3D video games. It actually captured every monster’s character in a manner that doesn’t come throughout in video games like Scarlet and Violet, nevertheless it additionally had the good thing about a a lot smaller Pokémon choice than most fashionable video games. Pokémon Champions, the Change and cell battle simulator coming later this yr, is actually its religious successor, and can act because the battle platform for aggressive Pokémon shifting ahead.
