For players that are looking to extend their time with the recently-releasedPokemon SwordandShield, there are few activities better than hunting forShiny Pokemon. Indeed, Shinies are exceedingly rare, and interested fans can spend countless hours tracking down Shiny variants of their favorite pocket monsters. This is exactly what one well-knownPokemon SwordandShieldTwitch streamer has been doing for days now, and some uncanny luck recently turned their Shiny hunt into something truly extraordinary.
Thepopular Twitch streamerin question is TheNo1Alex, and he has been castingPokemon SwordandShieldto his audience for 12 hours every day since November 14. In no small part, these streams have been focused around catching Shinies inSwordandShield, and TheNo1Alex put particular emphasis on obtaining a Shiny Impidimp, which he finally did after 80 hours and 4,051 attempts. While needing to farm so extensively for his Impidimp does not point to the streamer having any luck at all, it is what came immediately after that does.

For the uninitiated, standard Shiny Pokemon are found at a rate of one in every 4,096 encounters, and there is an even rarer variant, dubbedsquare Shinies, to be found inSwordandShieldas well. This means that the appearance of TheNo1Alex’s first Shiny Impidimp is almost perfectly aligned with their typical spawn rate, but catching another one immediately thereafter is far from the norm, and it is not something that many fans will experience during their time with these new Switch exclusives.
