During the April 1st, the twittosphere got a little on fire in terms of jokes. From the classic “I’m leaving Trash” to a little more advanced pranks, we were treated to a good dose of anything. In the middle of this mass of more or less dubious humor, the Youtuber and Streamer Pokemon Master Armand gave us an interesting thread: the top 5 longest shiny Pokémon to find. You have it ? No ? Ok, let’s go into detail.
Top 5 longest shiny to find
It all starts with a classic Twitter thread that makes your mouth water when you’re hungry for stats:
However, we become disillusioned very quickly when we tell ourselves that it is a simple joke and that the word “long” has been chosen here literally, to designate the Pokemon, not the research time. Well seen, that! However, the ranking remains interesting, so here is the ranking of the longest Pokémon in the game, from the 1G at Pokemon Legends: Arceus :
- Ethernatos (20 meters long)
- Bamboiselle (15 to 19 meters high)
- Wailord (14.5 meters long)
- Alola’s Noadkoko (10.9 meters high)
- Steelix (8.8 meters long)
The videographer adds that his Top 1 also applies if we talk about the search time for his chromatic version: Ethernatos being shiny lockyou may need a lot of patience to get it (yes, technically infinity is a lot).
If we wanted to make the real list of Pokémon whose shasse (or shiny hunt) is the longest, we would have to take into account the frequency at which one crosses the basic species, its leak ratethe ground (hail or sandstorm for example) and many other parameters. Any idea for next time? May be !
What is the rarest shiny?
The answer to this question is complicated because it requires defining two criteria basic: from which version of the game we talk and qwhat is meant by “rare”. Let’s say we define the term by a subtle mix of “infrequent” and “accessible in hard-to-reach areas”, here is what the rarest shiny (non-legendary or unique) would be in the latest versions of Pokemon released:
- Pokemon GO: Unown
- Pokémon Sparkling Diamond and Sparkling Pearl: Blizzaroi
- Pokemon Legends: Arceus: Cheribou
Can you take up the challenge of capturing these three in their respective versions?
