Twitch streamer MitchOG is currently doing a shiny-simply playthrough of Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, meaning they can only use shiny Pokemon throughout the entire run. The odds of encountering a shiny Pokemon are one in 4096, so getting both a shiny starter and Starly in the first come across is a one-in-almost-17-1000000 chance.

Mitch had been attempting to become a shiny Turtwig for three and a half hours, having reset his game only 107 times before the fateful encounter. First, he despaired as he saw the shiny Starly, upset that a shiny got wasted on a Pokemon he couldn't catch. Just, his jaw dropped and he leapt out of his seat equally his shiny Turtwig burst out of its Pokeball. You tin can sentinel the clip hither.

Shiny hunters are oft disappointed by shiny Poochyenas in Gen iii, and Starlys in Gen 4, so to get that and a shiny starter is almost unbelievable. Streamers can regularly become for weeks of streaming without getting a single shiny, so this is certainly a hype moment for Mitch - really puts the shine in Shining Pearl.
