    As someone who enjoys statistics and having things broken down, I really enjoyed this video and can say I finally fully understand the shiny rates
  • @CraynosGaming
    I value and appreciate you taking the time to explain the shiny rate ratios. In fact, I will be spending less money moving forward. Thank you for taking the time to explain and provide details on your recent videos. I am enjoying them.
  • @zbelfour
    Love the throwback footage at the beginning. Takes me back
  • @stephen90944
    Thank you for this info vid Nick! Great stuff, and it's really good to see you enjoying the content again. It shows!
  • @Josh_the_Lion
    Thanks for making this video, I feel like it's an important PSA to teach/remind people of how these hidden game mechanics work. The probability/statistics behind shiny encounter rates can be pretty misleading for setting people's gameplay expectations, and it's important to remember that there's never a 100% guarantee that you'll find a shiny (outside of the occasional special research reward, like the shiny Mew, Ditto, and Gyarados encounters)
  • @jrmorinelli6010
    Super helpful, also love watching your vids to stay on top of these events. Great information always
  • @paulskoog1186
    Thank you, Nick, for making this video. For a new video not having a lot of new video content you seemed upbeat and had a lot of great knowledge of the rates. I like the adventure videos a bit more but with all the great info in this video it is going on the stack of videos to rewatch, which I have been doing a lot of lately.
  • @parth17bhatia
    Thanks for the awesome video. It has been so long since you did this kind of OG Trainer Tips video i.e. explaining things from basic and I enjoyed watching it so much. I've been following you since 2019 and always love these kinds of informative videos. Thanks for the awesome video Nick!
  • @patswz
    I just really wanna share that when Nick talked about the blue dog, it hit me in my soul because I’m at 130 raids - most of which were remote - trying for a shiny Rockruff and I still don’t have a shiny. So yeah, at your own caution, folks, you don’t always get rewarded. It was the exact same with Axew, about 90 raids and 40 wild encounters, as a ticket holder, and no shiny. I reap what I sow.
  • @johnathanw2565
    Nick, We REALLY have been enjoying this type of content again... as much as we love your Vlogs, there is a HUGE place for you to keep grinding out these types of vids too! Really appreciate everything, looking forward to the future.. Stay safe friend!
  • @morsam28
    Love this video Nick. Its very thoughtful and helpful of you to make this video for the community.
  • Thank you Nick, even though I knew it already, I really needed this video now 😊 after how unlucky I am with shinies during adventure week (understood 0) I needed to hear that it's alright 😅😊
  • @thorild69
    Thank you for all your information over the last few years! Just when I think I have bad luck, I find out it balances out. My first Rockruff is a decent shiny and I had no idea.
  • @meh555
    Thank you so much for making this Nick! You made it so very simple to understand.
  • @marie-sophie4
    Thank you for this very good explanation it was very informative I had no idea of the differences between shiny rates ! Makes so much more sense now !
  • I have noticed your confidence has grown a lot in your recent videos! Your skills at explaining things has improved a lot! Great job 👏 Inspiration for all introvert's!
  • @mazdogg48
    I appreciate your work on making these videos. Very helpful info.
  • @DaveSzumlanski
    This is such an important video. Thank you so much for creating this!
  • @CylonNumber2
    I think a way Niantic could seriously improve the game is to gradually increase the shiny rate of a pokemon the more you catch that pokemon, and it resets when you finally catch it.
