Hello all! This is an older video from back in July of last year. I meant to upload it back then, but I procrastinated and eventually forgot about it altogether. I recently remembered that I still had the clip and figured I'd upload it! I somehow managed to find another Shiny Dustox in Shining Pearl, this time, while going for Budew!

In the video, you'll notice that I'm nearly certain Harvest didn't make this rarer. I was totally wrong! I think I was in denial due to finding yet another Dustox, and that it was my first shiny in a few months and I was rusty on all shiny hunting knowledge (this was during a time when I was working over 53 hours/week with 2 jobs, so, my brain was cooked).

So, yes, Harvest does in fact decrease the appearance rate of all non-Grass Pokemon. So, this was 1%, rather than the standard 2% encounter rate it normally has! I can't believe that my 2 rarest shinies are now both Dustox. This was an amazing find.

I do have plans to eventually return to this file and get some of the targets I had initially wanted. That will likely happen at some point in 2023! Thank you all for watching and good luck on your hunts.
