A few methods not mentioned in this video:
Sweet Scent - Using a Pokémon with Sweet Scent, you can force Horde Encounters to happen, which given that there are 5 Pokémon instead of 1 means you have a higher chance of encountering a Shiny Pokémon. It tends to be a bit difficult to actually catch Pokémon in Horde Encounters though, so battle wisely!
Friend Safari - It seems to be easier to find Shiny Pokémon in the Friend Safari, though there isn't anything supporting this but hearsay. Still, I definitely have seen a lot of Shiny Pokémon that have been caught in the Friend Safari, and I myself have caught a Shiny Electrode there.
Tipping? - Just a rumor, but people seem to think if you tip a lot of people in the game you have a higher chance of encountering Shinies.
Soft Resetting - If there is a Pokémon in the game that you can encounter on demand, like legendary or other event Pokémon on the over world, you can save before the encounter and reset until you run into a Shiny version of that Pokémon. This does not increase your chances, but it will force the game to generate a new Pokémon, meaning you have as many tries as you want to reset for a Shiny. Some legendaries, like Zekrom and Reshiram in BW, cannot be shiny though.
These methods were omitted for a couple of reasons, but mostly just because I ran out of time and needed to get the video up! So enjoy and have fun shiny hunting!

Does anybody have that moment when you run into a shiny and realize you don't have pokeballs.

I can remember randomly finding a shiny Goomy. I wasn't even trying to look for a shiny. It just appeared. Hue. It is now a shiny Goodra.

interesting (and sadly true) story of my first ACCIDENTAL shiny encounter when i was 10. i was playing pokemon platinum and was in a cave. i found a graveller that was "a different color" i told myself. so i just KILLED IT AND MOVED ON. oh god did i get roasted the next day at school.

I almost gave my shiny over wonder trade by accident because I didn't realise it was shiny until afterwards. LUCKILY for whatever reason there was an error and communications stopped. I was like THANK JEEBUS! haha
-
Way back when, I was up on +300 hours on my Pokémon Gold without ever seeing a shiny - then I let my brother play for 30 minutes. He encountered a shiny Zubat....

This guide helped me realize one thing: I never want to try hunting for shinies. Lol.

My first shiny was a Dwebble. I was at my friend Victoria's house, and we were playing pokemon in her bedroom. I was trying to get a sail fossil (which i still don't have) and I was finding a lot of Dwebble, so I made a joke and said "I bet the next dwebble I find will be shiny!" Sarcastically, but I ended up finding a shiny. His name is now Star, and I will never forget his story.
-
I found my first shiny 20 minutes ago legit during a low level grinding session. Its a doduo...
-
Someone traded me a shiny Mew. I was surprised that the person actually did that.
-
Some person asked me to trade randomly while I was playing Pokemon Y. He started showing off his level 100 Shiny Manectric. I then jokingly offered a Bidoof egg. . . . He accepted the trade. Happiest moment of my life.

Following the announcement of the new legends game I figured it was time to give gen 5 and 6 games a shot. Came across your video and found this to be rather interesting. Looking forward to trying these shiny hinting methods in the upcoming weeks.

Aaaa it's been so long since I was watching this channel, and your voice fills me with such nostalgia!

nice job on your videos :)

The level of frustration and rage the Pokeradar brings is almost undescribable... when the chain you've worked so hard and invested so much time breaks for no apparent reason, it feels like the inside of your head has become empty, and your bosom set ablaze. But when you finally achieve that 40th chain, sees a shining bush and successfully capture your desired shiny... the joy and euphoria it brings is so great that one does not simply forget. As for me that was a shiny female Ralts in route 209 at nightime; splendid IV, perfect EV adjustment... she evolved to Gardevoire and she served as my most trusted adjutant for years. ...And when I first saw her mega evolve during the battle against Diantha, stood and howled high in that chapel... that was one of my happiest moments in my life. I know I'm being a bit creepy sry

Ok I found your channel a week ago and subbed, love your recent 10 or so videos, and like now I see this one and it was already liked, so I had seen it years ago as a one-time video and now I found your channel again. Love this.
