Hello friends welcome back to the channel in today's video we've got 35 easy shiny hunting locations for every new pokemon that can have an isolated encounter in the teal mask dlc. There are 44 evolution lines available in kira kami we've covered two of those already in thebas and melodic and sinischa and poltergeist they are videos already on the channel if you want to check those out they'll be linked in the description below the remaining 42 evolution lines there are actually six of those evolution lines that we're not going to be able to hunt with isolated encounter methods so not included in this video these pokemon include the chameco lines mandibus line the sea dart nuzleaf and shiftery line bellsprout line whole fish so that's crawled ond as well and apom and ambipom in pokemon violet i would suggest going out and getting mass outbreaks for these pokemon because whatever you do i've not been able to find a location where you just have that one pokemon spawn in making it very difficult to actually isolate the shiny hunting for this particular pokemon everything else that we are covering in today's video has very specific isolation methods so you're going to be able to hunt for these pokemon specifically and very easily and to make this video a little bit more digestible i've chaptered everything down below in the timeline so you can skip through to the exact pokemon that you want to hunt and a few prereqs before we get into the actual shiny hunts and the locations for these pokemon you're going to need a bought lot of herbomistica because most of these shiny hunts are going to be based around setting up sparkling level three sandwich for the specific type of pokemon that we're going after although if you don't want to use herbomistica you can set up an encounter power level two for that specific type using other recipe ingredients throughout this video we'll be using a variety of different sandwich recipes to get these sparkling and encounter power level three for these shiny hunts i'll reference a few recipe lists on the screen now for you that you can refer back to throughout this video but if you have your own preferred recipe to get these sandwich powers please comment below what your favorite sandwich recipe is for shiny hunting we've done two videos in kitakami for the tl mask for how to get easy herbomistica there is one that covers how you can get a complete set of herbomistica as a gift by completing a side quest to check that one out for free herbomistica and the other one goes over the five and six star terraried pokemon that are available in kitakami and the exact pokemon that you're going to want to beat to get easy herbomistica in your game again they will be linked in the description below and the final thing to do before you go into this shiny hunt if you haven't already is to make sure you've got the zoom function turned on in your games it's going to make it a lot easier for you to spot the shinies when you're out shiny hunting around the kitakami region to turn this function on go into your home menu then down into system settings down into system and then find that zoom function and just toggle it on now when you're in game if you double tap your home button it will zoom in and you're going to be able to get an even closer view of what's in front of you making those harder to see shinies a little bit easier to identify the first hunt is going to be for jangma or the dragon type pokemon you're going to want to head into the gracious stawn's fly point which is just to the west of the timeless woods and once you're here you're going to want to go on a heading up to this cliff ridge area here where you'll find a cavern once you're on the ridge and you've dropped a save you're going to want to set up your picnic and create a sandwich that's going to give you the encounter power level three and sparkling power level three for dragon type pokemon there are a variety of different recipes that we outlined at the start that are all available down in the description and once you've set this up you want to head in to the cavern area and you're going to want to position yourself on the right side of the cavern facing the opposite wall like we are here the method that we're going to use here is going to be using the let's go function with our pokemon and you'll see the jangma or when you're positioned correctly will be coming out of the wall in front of you and they'll just be a constant flaw of them coming out what we need to do here is use that let's go function to keep knocking the jangma or out and new ones to spawn in so you've got a good flaw you've got 30 minutes on your sparkling power level three sandwich and by continuously doing this you're really going to be in a bit of an afk mode where you can just sit and wait for the shiny to spawn it's not a guarantee that you're going to get in your first language so you may need to restart your game start this whole process again but it is an easy process to do and a very easy shiny to identify as well this shiny has a pink heart on its head with a golden coloured body so very easy shiny to identify and if you just continually do this method of knocking them out new ones spawning in with that sparkling power level three you'll find this shiny in no time at all the next shiny that we're going to hunt is a scarlet exclusive it is going to be for gligar the grand and flying type you're going to want to head to the fallen horn which is in the fel horn gorge and from here you're going to want to make your way to this mark on your map this location is just south of the timeless woods and you want to look for this boulder right here and this is going to be our point to set up it gives us a good view of the area in front of us first thing you're going to want to do is knock out the static spawn for vika vault and once this is done come back to this rock location here and drop a save this method is going to be using the picnic method so set up your picnic after dropping the save and set yourself up a sandwich that gives you sparkling power and encounter power level three for ground type pokemon once you've done this take down your picnic and watch as the gligar spawn in in this area shiny gligar is a very light blue opposed to the pink of its normal color so very easy shiny to spot and you just rinse and repeat this method once no more gligar or spawning in in this area set up your picnic despawn everything and take down your picnic for more to spawn in and then wait for the shiny to appear just rinse and repeat this method you've got 30 minutes with your sparkling power and your encounter power sandwich if this 30 minutes passes and you don't get the shiny just reset your game and repeat this process until you get your shiny gligar next up is lotad for that ludicolor line we're going to want to head to this area of the infernal pass and once you're here you're going to want to head to this pool area right next door which is just west to the infernal path area and once you're at this location you want to make sure that you are about this distance away from the npc character in front of the pool so enough space for you to set up your picnic and a good view of the pool area good distance away you want to drop a save before you do anything then set up a picnic and make a sandwich for encounter power level three and sparkling power level three for grass type pokemon we're going to use the same method that we use for gligar setting up and taking down a picnic to spawn in fresh lotad every time we do this you'll want to use the zoom function with this method so you can see all the lotad that spawn in in this pool lotad easy to spot as well it's got a very dark purple body opposed to the blue of its standard spawn and the leaf on top of its head is a much darker green now repeat this method of setting up your picnic to despawn any non shinies and take it down to spawn new ones in until that shiny does appear the next shiny we're going for is a shiny polywhirl polywag so we can get a shiny polywrath and polytod this will be an isolated encounter for these water type pokemon and you're going to want to make your way to the fallen horn which is in the felhorn gorge area once you're at this location head directly for the cave area in front of you and head inside once you're inside the cave you want to position yourself right here towards this back wall facing the other side like we are right here and this is going to be a spot where you're going to be able to set up a picnic position yourself make sure you can set your picnic up and if you are able to take your picnic down you're in a good spot right here and drop a save again it's going to be a very similar method to how we hunted for the lotad in the gligar the sandwich that we're setting up this time is giving us encounter power level 3 and sparkling power level 3 for water type pokemon with your sandwich powers set up you want to just despawn your picnic and you will see polywags and polywills spawning in from the opposite side of the cave they're not going to spawn in a massive numbers you're going to normally get between five to six spawning at a time and it can be a mixture of both polywag is a very difficult shiny to spot it is maybe one shade lighter of blue but use the zoom or the camera function here to get a good look at the pokemon when they're spawning in and compare them with the other polywag next to them as they spawn in together poly world is going to be a lot easier to spawn in because it is a much lighter shade of blue so a much easier pokemon to spot and repeat this method to just despawn any non shinies that are on the field so you get new ones until that shiny does finally appear the next shiny we're going for is a bug type in grubbin and charge a bug and we can isolate hunt this specific bug type pokemon in the north area of the wistful fields you want to be coming to this specific spot on your map it's easy to get to if you head up to the fly point in the paradise barons once you're at this area you want to make your way towards the back wall as we are here and position yourself next to these loose rocks again using the picnic method we're setting up our picnic we are dropping a save before we do anything and then setting up a sandwich which is giving us the encounter and sparkling pile level three for bug type pokemon again once this is set up take down your picnic you will see an array of grubbin and charge a bug spawn in on the field charge a bug is easy to spot because of its very vibrant red color gonna have no trouble spotting this when it does spawn in and grubbin although very small is still an easy spot because of its red shading over its regular form which has more of an orange and a yellow hint you will need to use the zoom function though it will make this shiny hunt a lot easier but again for this method just take down your picnic set it up again if no shiny spawn in and then just repeat this method until you get that shiny next up we're heading to the timeless woods and we want to be heading to the northeast area of this location once you reach this area you want to be really setting yourself up so you're setting your picnic up on a side with angle to the bank and the picnic table should be going into the bush as you can see here again we're using the picnic despawning method here so as soon as you're in this location and you're looking down the bank like we are drop a save set your picnic up and create a sandwich it's going to give you the encounter power and sparkling power level 3 for poison type pokemon once you've set this up you've got 30 minutes to hunt for the shiny spinner rack and the areados shiny spinner rack easy to spot because of its blue coloration opposed to the green of its normal form and the areados is going to be a vibrant pink color opposed to its normal red form very easy shinies to spot and again like with this method you just take down your picnic let the spawns come in if no shinies appear set your picnic table up once again to get rid of everything on the field and take it down for a new set of spawns to come in until that shiny does appear for the next one we're staying in the timeless woods and you want to try and make sure that it is daytime when you do this hunt you can do it at night but you are going to get conflicting spawns with this next one it is for phantom so we can get that and a shiny trevenant in the timeless woods you want to be heading to this area which is towards the northern area of the timeless woods and making your way to this position on the map now when you're here you want to be positioning yourself on the bank here and again using the picnic method to do this hunt you're going to want to drop a save before we do anything and then set up a sandwich it's going to give you the sparkling and in cannon power level three for ghost type pokemon yes phantom will spawn through the day even though it is a ghost in the timeless woods making this shiny hunt an easy one to isolate you are going to get the odd mimic you popping up but the majority of pokemon in this area through the day that will be spawning on the phantom and you are going to need to use your zoom function and this method what you can do is set your picnic up and to give you an even better leverage position is once your picnics down and the phantom start spawning in get on your ride pokemon is going to elevate you that little bit higher and then start using your zoom function to spot the shiny phantom shiny phantom going to be easy to spot it has got a gray face and red leaves opposed to its brown face and green leaves on its normal form and just repeat this method as we've done with the other shiny hunts taking down your picnic to generate new spawns on the field no shinies appear set up your picnic to spawn everything and repeat this method you've got 30 minutes for this shiny hunt if you don't get the shiny in this amount of time reset your game set up the sandwich again and repeat this method until shiny phantom appears in your game the next location we're going to head to is at the key to call me hall and here we're going to be able to hunt for three separate pokemon in one location once you reach key to call me hall or the revelers road entrance you're going to want to head this direction and jump off the cliff and head to this ledge here and here you'll find a cavern area now you want to head inside this cavern area and there will be a static spawn for a sand slash the first thing that you're going to want to do is defeat this and get rid of it so it doesn't conflict with your shiny hunt in this cave area and once the sand slash is being taken care of you want to position yourself right here and drop a save before you say you're picking it up make sure you open your map and check what time of day it is if it's daytime then we can proceed with this hunt the first pokemon we're going to go after in this location is sand slash it's through the daytime this is a perfect time to do this hunt you want to set up your picnic and create a sandwich it's going to give you an encounter power and sparkling power level three for ground type pokemon now you're going to use the picnic method taking down your picnic and letting the sand slash spawn in the opposing wall that you're facing like we are here you're going to get a large number of sand slash coming in and it is an easy shiny to spot and it is going to be a green color opposed to its normal yellow coloration again just repeat this method setting up your picnic to despawn everything taking it down to let new spawns come in until the shiny does appear in this same location you can hunt for geodude as well so this is the same location next to the key to commie hall next to revelers rod in the cave where we can go for geodude again set up your picnic and this time we're going to create a sandwich this is going to be encounter power level three and sparkling power level three for rock type pokemon exactly the same method that we did for the sand slash once this sandwich power is set up you want to take down your picnic and let the geodude spawn in geodude again an easy shiny to spot because it is going to be a golden color opposed to its normal gray rock color now the third pokemon that you can get in this location is going to be centering and for it but you are only going to be able to catch this pokemon through the night so you want to come to this location here when it is dusk in your game you'll be able to see dusk when you open your map and you look at the weather at the top and it is this icon this is perfect time to set up your sandwich giving you the encounter power and sparkling power level three for normal type pokemon and you'll be able to have that full 30 minutes through the evening meaning that you're getting the maximum time out of this spawn location again using the same method that we use with the sand slash and the geodude going to be wanting to use the picnic method to take your picnic down let the spawns come in the opposite side of the cave to where we're standing and then set your picnic up if no spawns come in centering again an easy shiny to spot it is going to be a lighter color of yellow opposed to its more darker brown of its non shiny variant next location is going to be a one where we can hunt for two separate pokemon it is located here on the map and the quickest way to get to it going to be from the auger hosting fly point once you're here you're going to want to just head directly up the only mountain towards this point on the map and the first pokemon that we're going to hunt in this location is going to be club fairy and you want to head into the cavern area here and make your way to this middle spot drop a save and i want to set your picnic up again and create a sandwich that's going to give you level three encounter power and sparkling power for fairy type pokemon now the method is slightly different for this one once you've set this sandwich part up you're going to want to exit the cave and once you start to exit the cave you'll see a lot of pokemon starting to spawn in namely the club fairy and clefers now you want to stand at the entrance of the cave and then re-enter the cave and you'll notice a lot more spawns in this area you'll want to pan around the room and you'll be able to check for the clef and the club fairy to see if any are shiny easy to spot because their ears are going to be green if none of them are shiny just walk into the center of the room again and reset up your picnic de-spawning everything in the cavern and once your picnic's been set up just take it straight back down and run back out of the cave again and allow more spawns to generate you'll be able to look in and see the spawns regenerating wait maybe a second or two and then re-enter the cave and check everything once again repeating this method and in this same location on the only mountain just north of the kirikami hole you're going to be able to hunt as well for hutut so you want to come into the cave once again and then come to the middle drop a save then set your picnic up and you're going to be setting up the encounter part and sparkling power level three or flying type pokemon if you do this at night you'll have more spawns but not necessarily required because hutut will appear in the daytime in this cave area as well so you want to just repeat the same method that we did for the clefairy where you enter the cave set your picnic up if no shinies are in the cave right there de-spawn everything with your picnic then take your picnic down and exit the cave just to the entrance see all the hutut spawning in through the tunnel entrance and then re-enter the cave to check all of the pokemon spawned in none of them are shiny do the same as before set your picnic up to de-spawn everything take it down and leave the cavern to get a whole new host of spawns in this area and then repeat this method until the shiny spawns in again as always if you don't get the shiny in the allotted 30 minutes that you get with your sandwich power then you can just restart your game set up the same sandwich and repeat the same process that we've done already and hopefully you get the shiny very easily for both of these pokemon in this area the next location that we are going to head to involves us getting up to five pokemon from this one location there are two different spots in this location but there are five pokemon in total that we're going to be able to access and shiny hunt in the crystal pool area now once you've reached this location the first thing that you're going to want to do is head over this bridge and come around to this side of the crystal pool until you reach a cavern area just to the west of this location now outside the cave the first thing that we're going to want to do is just open your map just to see that it is nighttime in your game if it is nighttime then drop a save here and then set up a picnic this method is going to be slightly different we're not going to be setting up but taking down a picnic to respawn pokemon we are going to be setting up an encounter power and sparkling power level three for ghost type pokemon and once you've set this up and you've saved you want to get on your ride pokemon and into the cavern i want to fall down the first tunnel into this first area and then you're going to want to make your way into the next tunnel system which will take you down another floor to a pool where you'll fall in if you're familiar with the febass and melodic hunt you'll this is where it will fall into and then straight ahead of where you've fallen into will be a tunnel system that will lead down to the bottom of this area where we are now and there'll be rubble either side of you and you want to position yourself right here so you're looking up at the top of the tunnel now for this method we are going to be using the let's go function so you want to just send out whatever pokemon you've got and then let it battle all of the pokemon knocking them out making more new pokemon spawn in in this area here you're primarily because of the nighttime and the sandwich power that we've got set up you're going to get litwick and duskull spawning in in this area predominantly litwick going to be a little bit more difficult to spot they're a bit whiter coloration on their body and the flame is more blue and duskull are going to be a more red color rather than their gray black color that they are in their normal forms zoom function in this area is well to get a better look at the litwick that are spawning in every time your pokemon knocks another one out and it is a very easy method this shiny hunt because you are very afk here the only thing that you're gonna have to do is just keeping an eye out for the shiny and then resend your pokemon out in the let's go function every time it stops battling it will get to a certain number of pokemon it defeats and it will just stop and return to you so that stage restart the let's go function to start knocking out more pokemon that are spawning in in the 30 minutes that you've got just make sure that it is nighttime if it does turn today then you will notice because these ghost type pokemon will stop spawning in and you'll get other spawns like saland it gable and done sparse so if this does happen just reset your game and wait till it turns nighttime again set up that same sandwich path being cannon power level three and sparkling power level three for ghost type pokemon and come back and repeat the process until you get the shiny for both of these ghost type pokemon the next hunt in the crystal pool area is going to be the same spot for three different pokemon the first one we're going to look at is for yanma now you need to make sure that it is daytime when you do hunt for yanma you want to come to this location right here as you're exiting the crystal pool area in around this exact spot here which is just near the entrance and you've got a good view of everything in front of you again we're going to use the picnic method so once you're in this spot drop a save and then set up a sandwich it's going to give you sparkling power and encounter power level three for bug type pokemon once you've done this take down your picnic and you will see a flurry of yanma spawning in in the area in front of you and yanma again a very easy shiny to spot because of its blue coloration opposed to its regular green coloration for its non shiny variation now you want to be very vigilant with the shiny hunt because yanma can despawn very quickly once it appears on the field so as soon as it does spawn in make sure you are paying attention drop a save straight away and then proceed to encounter it and capture it and if the daytime turns to dusk tonight then the yanma will no longer spawn so you've got to time this one a little bit like you do your ghost types just make sure that you're starting this at the beginning of a new day in your game you'll get that full 30 minutes for the time of your sandwich par in this same location you can also hunt for slug matter it doesn't matter if it is day or night time for this hunt but you can set up a sandwich encounter and sparkling power level 3 for fire type pokemon again in the same location using the same method drop a save before you start set up respected sandwich for fire type pokemon and take down your picnic to spawn in the slug my slug my gonna be an easy shiny to spot because it is a gray silvery color opposed to its vibrant red of its normal form and repeat this process take your picnic down let the slug my spawn in if the shiny doesn't appear set your picnic up despawn everything and repeat this process for the next 30 minutes hopefully you'll get the shiny very quickly if not reset your game come back in and repeat the process until you're able to get the shiny slug my in the same location in the crystal pool area you are going to be able to hunt also for coughing which is the poison type pokemon so you're going to want to use exactly the same method that we did for yanma and the slug my it doesn't matter what time of day it is for the coughing either you're going to want to set up a sandwich is going to give you the encounter part and sparkling power level 3 for poison type pokemon and then take your picnic down allow the coffins to spawn in it's a very easy shiny to spot it is going to be blue coloration rather than the purple and its smoke that it pumps out is going to be purple so even more of an identifier for allowing you to spot the shiny when it does spawn in be very careful when you go up against this shiny when you do eventually get it because this pokemon can explode so make sure you do save before encountering the coffin and if you've got something that can put it to sleep that will definitely help you catching the shiny without any issue the next shiny we'll be hunting for is vault picks you want to make your way to the bottom of kitty call me hall which is on the revelers road we're going to want to make our way west towards this location here and to the top of this ridge looking down the bank so this is where we're going to want to hunt for the vault picks again it doesn't matter what time of day or night it is you'll be able to find vault picks here throughout any time of the day so once you're in this spot right here again we'll be using the picnic method so drop a save this is an ideal one to do if you've got time left over from a slug my hunt earlier in the video but if you haven't you've dropped a save you want to set up a picnic and have encounter and sparkling power level three for fire type pokemon and once this is set up you want to just take down your picnic and span across the entire hillside you're going to have a good view looking down and the vault picks is going to be very easy to spot more yellow color than its darker orange so it really does stick out compared to its non shiny form again a very easy one to spot and you're not really going to have to rely on the zoom function at all here you can just if the shiny does not spawn in set your picnic up once again as we are positioned here despawn everything and take it down for new spawns to come in and rinse and repeat this process until you get the shiny vault picks in your game the next location is going to be around the key to call me hall once again but we are going to be coming to this exact spot on a map which is just to the east of the auger house thing game so you want to head to the key to call me hall the main entrance which is just on the foot of revelers rod and you're going to want to make your way to this area right here which is just above this area here and just on this ledge is where we're going to be want to be basing ourselves for this method because this method is going to be using the key to call me hall as a way to despawn everything on the field and then we're going to be entering back into the felhorn gorge as you can see here the first thing we're going to want to do when we're on top of this ridge is just set up a picnic so come down onto this main flat area here drop a save and then set up a picnic which is going to give you encounter power level three and sparkling power level three for water type pokemon once you've done that come back up onto the ridge here and you're going to head right to the back of this ledge and you're going to get the message coming up key to call me hall turn background and walk back down onto the ledge and you're going to see felhorn gorge appear and pokemon will start spawning on the ridge below you now if it's during the night you're going to have more spawns for kramarant here and this is a great spot for getting shiny kramarant which is an easy pokemon to spot because normally kramarant is blue the shiny version is a bright orange so a very easy pokemon to spot they're going to spawn in clusters as well so you're going to get a lot of spawns at one time now the other pokemon that you can hunt very well in this location using this exact same method is going to be ducklet ducklet are going to spawn in the daytime predominantly you are going to get kramarant spawning with them but not as many in the daytime so if it's through the day ducklet is the pokemon that you're going to want to hunt in this area ducklet easy to spot normally a blue color but a very different pink color in its shiny form and you want to just repeat this method that we're doing you want to walk out onto the ledge let everything spawn in on the the ridge below you and once nothing else is spawning in you want to turn around and walk back to the top of this ridge until you get that message saying keep it calm me whole everything should spawn out of frame and then walk back down the cliff you'll get the felhorn gorge message pop up and all the spawns will start appearing once again below you and if you're hunting the kramarant at night keep an eye out for that orange one and if it is for the ducklet during the day keep an eye out for the pink one just repeat this process over and over again until you get the shiny spawning in in your game so the next pokemon that we're going to be hunting is going to be on the key to call me road so you want to be heading to this exact location right here at the bottom of the map you want to head to the fly point of the bus stop this will make it quicker for getting to this location and once you're at this location you want to just come up onto this bank with a single tree in front of it kind of position yourself like this from here you're going to be able to set up a picnic and you've got a good view of everything around you that will be spawning in we'll be again using the picnic method for this one and the first thing as always that we're going to be wanting to do is drop a save this first hunt is going to be for puciena which is the dark type pokemon so we're dropping a save and then setting up a sandwich which is going to give us the encounter and sparkling power level three for dark type pokemon it can be denied for this one it doesn't really matter maybe easier to spot the shiny at the night time but you're not going to have too much of an issue spotting it through the day either once this sandwich part is set up you want to just take your picnic down allow the spawns to come in in this area and use your zoom function which might make it easier to kind of span around the whole area behind you and in front of you looking for this shiny puciena which is a yellow color opposed to its normal gray coat this same location for the puciena can be used for swaddle as well which is the grass and bug type pokemon it is going to be a very hard pokemon to spot because of the size of this pokemon you're going to have to use your zoom function in this method so once again drop a save before you start anything from the bank area where we're positioned here and set up a sandwich or in counterpart and sparkling power level three for grass type pokemon it's important that you use the grass type here because you are going to get an array of other bug types that can appear in this area so you want to just set up the grass type for the swaddle if it is the pokemon that you're hunting and again like the other picnic methods once these sandwich powers are set up just take down your picnic and allow the pokemon to spawn in in the area in front of you and what you want to be looking out for is the main body of swaddle will be green opposed to the yellow body of the non-shiny variant the leaf surrounding it as well will be a much darker color so that to indicate as making it a bit easier to spot but you will need to use your zoom function and this will come in key throughout the shiny hunt repeat the process of setting up your picnic to spawn anything when you haven't got a shiny on the field take it down for more spawns to come in till you do get that shiny swaddle and make sure you do save before encountering this pokemon but the shiny is again another pretty easy shiny hunt using the methods that we've outlined in this video now not in the exact same location but a bit further down key to call me road more closer to the bus stop and we want to be just about located here next to the bus stop you'll be around here on your map this is going to be the location that we're going to be hunting for q to fly which is the fairy and bug type pokemon so when you're at this location here the good indicator to be in the right spot is there'll be two boulders in front of the bus stop you want to be in front of the smaller one that we're looking at right now and we want to be looking down the road here and this is going to be the spot where the cutie flies are going to be spawning in against the wall in front of us and it's going to make spotting the shiny a lot easier in this method so on the road here we're going to drop a save before we do anything then we're going to set up our picnic and get ourselves a sandwich it's going to give us the sparkling part and in kind of power level three for fairy type pokemon then again with all the other picnic methods take down your picnic and look towards the wall like we are here and you'll see a lot of cutie flies will be spawning in front of you and going to be easy to spot normal cutie fire is a very yellow color and the shiny is going to have a pink tinge to its body and that is going to be the big kind of tell for being able to spot the shiny it is very very small so it's advisable to use your camera function first then your zoom function after that it will give you a good view of everything spawning in in this area just make sure you pan up and down the road to make sure that you're not missing any cutie flies that are coming and spawning in then if no shinies are there just set your picnic up where you are and take it down again for more to spawn in and do this over until you get that shiny cutie fly spawning in in this location so you can have that shiny cutie fly and shiny robombie in your copy of scarlet and violet the next shiny is going to be for the fighting type shiny mine foe we're going to head to the crystal pool area and mark this location on our map it's going to be if you're familiar with where you defeat pheasant deputy it's going to be to the east of the orney mountain where we're going to be heading and into the chilling waterhead cavern system and once you're at this ledge here you want to come inside the cavern area and this is going to be the chilling waterhead area and you're going to want to make your way to this part of the cavern just at the very top here and you're going to want to position yourself so you can set up a picnic in this area and have a good view of the floor in the area below this is where the mine foe are going to spawn in once you in this position drop a save and then set your picnic up and you're going to be setting up a sandwich that's going to give you level three sparkling power and encounter power for fighting type pokemon once you have this sandwich set up despawn your picnic in if you're in the right spot you are going to see the mine foe spawning in on the area below where you're standing and they're going to spawn in very vast numbers now mine foe going to be an easy shiny to spot normal coloration is going to be yellow and red and the shiny is going to be more of a white color body with purple color arms and like all of the other picnic methods once everything is spawned onto the field almost spawning in set your picnic up once again despawn everything on the field take it straight back down and allow a new batch to spawn onto the field now you can use the zoom function if you want but not really necessary for this method going to be an easy shiny to spot once the shiny spawns in you're going to just save your game before encountering it in case anything goes wrong and then encounter and catch yourself your shiny mine foe now another pokemon in the crystal pool area that you're going to be able to catch is going to be carving now once you fly into the crystal pool area you want to make your way over the bridge again towards this back area of this location until you find the cave system here now with your ride pokemon you're going to be careful as you drop down so as soon as you drop down you're going to start to glide you're going to head down all of these ridges until you see a cave system you're not going to drop right down to the floor and you're going to drop down into this area here so you'll see from the outside this is the first cavern that you're going to come to as you drop down you want to glide as you come into this area there'll be a secret cavern in the side of the tunnel as it drops down now you want to make your way into the cavern area here and towards the middle of this cave this is going to be the only place that you're going to be able to set up a picnic once you're in this location set your picnic up make sure you're in a spot where you can set the picnic up and then you're going to take it down and drop a save before we start this process there's always dropping a save means if we don't get the shiny in the 30 minutes that were allocated from the sparkling and encounter power level three for fairy type pokemon then we can restart our game set the same sandwich up and we're not wasting any herbal mysticals so with that save dropped picnic set up set your sandwich up that's going to give you the sparkling power and encounter power level three for fairy type pokemon once you've done that take your picnic down and then exit the cavern area like we're doing here and just to the edge and then turn around and make your way back into the main area once again once you come back into the cavern area you'll notice a lot of cobblink or spawning around the sides of the cavern and all you're going to want to do is look out for the shiny here again a very easy shiny to spot in this location because it's going to have a bright blue scarf around its head and the rest of its body are going to be a more black color with blue gems on it rather than the gray and gray gems around the regular non shiny form so if there's no shinies appearing here make your way into the middle of the room again set your picnic up despawn everything and then take it down and leave the cave system once again doing the same process as we did before to the edge then turn around and re-enter the cave and check the newly spawned carvings to see if the shiny spawned in if it hasn't just repeat this process over again that we've just done until you get the shiny carving spawning in in this area next shiny we're going after is another fighting type and it is this time for a shiny concolder so we'll be going after shiny timber which is available on the ony mountain you want to fly into the infernal pass turn around and make your way towards the ony mountain and make your way up to ony's more area now once you reach the top of the bank here you're going to this is going to be the area where we're hunting for shiny timber you want to drop a save as always because we are going to use the picnic method and once you've dropped that save set up your picnic on this incline here and set up a sandwich that is going to give you the sparkling and encounter power level three for fighting type pokemon once that's set up you're going to want to take down your picnic and you're going to have a very good view of the area in front of you where specifically timber is going to spawn in in good numbers now shiny timber is very easy to spot it is going to be more of a yellowy gold color so again an easy one to spot and you can just use your camera function here to span across the area in front of you no shinies have spawned in just set your picnic up once again and then despawn everything on the field take your picnic down and allow more timbers to come in and repeat this process until you get your shiny timber spawning in in this area and you should be able to do it within 30 minutes if not you have saved before doing this like all of the other hunts in this video just reset your game come back into it and repeat the steps that we've already done until you do get your shiny timber for that shiny concolder in your copy of scarlet and violet next we will be going for a shiny illumize and volbeat and the area that we're going to want to come to hunt these specifically is in the mosfell confluence so you want to be heading to this fly spot here then from the fly spot you want to be heading over to this embankment on this side of the river and it'll be a pebbled area and you're going to want to position yourself right about here and this is the perfect spot for you to set up another picnic so before we do anything just save your game and then set up a picnic and make sure that you're setting a sandwich that gives you sparkling and encounter power for bug type pokemon once you've done this take down your picnic and then you're going to be spanning around the entire area around you in front of you to the sides of you and behind you as well where you'll be looking out for the shiny illumize and volbeat that are going to spawn in this vicinity and they're going to be the only things that are going to spawn in apart from the maybe odd spinner rack but that's going to be a very small number of those that are going to spawn in the majority of pokemon in this area for this hunt are going to be illumize and volbeat illumize going to be an easy one to spot because opposed to its purple cheeks and purple rings around its body it's going to be orange and volbeat is going to be even easier because instead of its red hood it's going to have a very vibrant blue hood and again if no shiny spawn in on the first time around when you take your picnic down just set your picnic backup despawn everything on the field take it down again and allow more illumize and volbeats to spawn in making sure that you do check them use the zoom function it is very helpful with this method and then repeat this until you do get the shiny of either one or both of these pokemon that you're hunting in the games next new pokemon we will be going after in today's video is going to be for shiny nose pass and we're going to be heading to the paradise barons area but instead of heading to the paradise barons fly point i'm going to actually head to the gracious stones fly point because it is closer to where we'll be going from the gracious stones in the kitakami wilds you want to be heading west towards the paradise barons to this area right here and it is towards the eastern area of the paradise barons to the top of this area and this exact location here where we'll be hunting for nose pass and you'll be looking down the bank and this is the exact spot that we'll be looking and hunting for this pokemon i'm going to want to use the picnic method once again so involves dropping a save before we do anything then setting up a picnic and creating a sandwich is going to give us the encounter power and sparkling power level three for rock type pokemon once you've set this up take your picnic down and you're going to have a very easy time just spanning the area looking down the bank for all the nose pass that spawn in very easy shiny to spot pose to its blue purpley color that it is normally it's going to be a golden color again a very easy shiny to spot in this location and if no shiny spawns in set your picnic up despawn everything take your picnic down and check the new spawns if the shiny does appear save your game encounter it and capture yourself a shiny nose pass the next new shiny that we'll be going for in today's video is going to be for shiny swim up so we can get a shiny mama swine in scholar and violet and you're going to head to the infernal pass fly location make your way up through the only small and you're going to come to this location here up on the ridge in front of this cavern which is located here on your map now in front of this cave system you're going to want to drop a save and then set a picnic up giving yourself the sparkling and encounter power level three for ground type pokemon once you've done that come into the cave system and position yourself in this location here and you're going to see a bunch of swim up spawning in on the opposite side of the cave now for this method we're going to have to use the let's go function so when you're positioned in this spot and enough swinebs have spawned in you're going to send your pokemon out to start knocking out the swinebs every swim up that does get knocked out if you're in the correct position will allow more to spawn in meaning you're going to eventually get the shiny to spawn in in this area and it's a bit afk this mode where you're just going to pay attention to everything spawning in making sure that if the shiny swim up does spawn in you do notice it it's going to be an easy shiny to spot because of its green coloration opposed to its normal brown coloration and if your let's go pokemon stops attacking and defeating the swim up then just reinitiate the let's go function call your pokemon back send it out again to start the process over and allow it to just keep knocking the swinebs out for 30 minutes as you go into it until that shiny swim up does appear the next pokemon we're going to be shiny hunting is going to be for the ghost form or a choreo and we're going to be going to be heading to the wisteria pond where we encountered monk adori in our playthrough now from this location you're going to get very strong spawns of or a choreo through the day even though it's a ghost type and during the night so through the day is going to be a bit easier because you're not going to get any other ghost type spawning in this area but you want to make your way to the top of the pond to this ridge area here so you've got a good view of everything below you and once you're in the spot drop a save once again we're using the picnic method for this one uh drop a save set up your picnic and create a sandwich it's going to give you the sparkling and encounter power level three for ghost type pokemon once you've set this up take your picnic down and the or a choreo will start spawning in in clusters so it's easy to spot the shiny the shiny is going to be a very light blue color opposed to its regular purple color so it will really stand out when it does spawn onto the field again no shiny spawns in then just set your picnic up despawn everything on the field pan around to make sure you've checked everything that's spawned in set your picnic up again to despawn everything take it down and allow a new batch of or a choreos to spawn in in this area and you can use the zoom function in this hunt as well to help out to spot these or a choreos a little bit better when they do spawn in because some of them do spawn quite a distance away so just being able to kind of get a closer look at the ones spawning in will identify the shiny when it does hit the field now in this same spot that we hunted for the grubbin and the charger bug we're going to also be able to hunt for shiny munchlax it is located in the northern area of the wistful fields and again you're going to want to position yourself in the back corner of this area like we are here next to the boulders that we can see towards this back wall and facing towards this direction here so once you're here again to set this up we're using the picnic method drop a save then after that set your picnic up and use the sandwich recipe that's going to give you the sparkling and encounter power level three for normal type pokemon now if you're positioned correctly like we are in this video when you take your picnic down you're going to get munchlax spawning in in the area in front of you that's got no grass on it making it easy to spot the munchlax but you're also going to get them spawning to the right as well in the grasslands but the one thing about munchlax is it is a very very dark blue color compared to its normal coloration so quite easy to identify when the shiny comes in for the ones in front of you where it's not a grassy area you're going to be able to not use the zoom function the shiny will be easy to spot but for the ones in the grass you can use that zoom function just to get a closer look at the ones spawning in the grass to make sure that that dark blue color is not the shiny because at night it can be a bit difficult to see if you're a bit further away like we are so using that zoom function will make it a bit easier to identify the shiny if it does spawn onto the field if no shiny spawns in just set up your picnic again despawn everything take it down and get another round of spawns and repeat this process until you do get your shiny munchlax another hunt in the timeless woods that we are going to be doing is white striped basculin this water pond area in the timeless woods is where we're going to be wanting to come and to the southern bank here that we're marking on the map is the exact location where we'll be hunting for the basculin and once you're at this southern bank you're going to want to make your way around to this area where we're standing right now and face the pond so you're almost opposite the bush across from the screen as you can see now and in this position you're going to drop a save as always because we will be using the picnic method in this hunt and once you've dropped your save set up your picnic and create a sparkling and encounter power level 3 sandwich for water type pokemon now this isn't going to be an easy hunt by any means you are going to get up a quagsire lotad lombray and dreadnought as well spawning in this one location but unfortunately for white striped basculin it is the one pokemon that you can't get a mass outbreak of currently in the game so this is going to be the only method to shiny hunt this pokemon right here why we're including it and why we've excluded the other mass outbreaks because they are available white striped basculin is not available as a mass outbreak so literally this is the only method for hunting this pokemon right now so once you've set up your sparkling encounter power for water type pokemon what you're going to do take down your picnic and then look to the water you're going to really need to utilize your camera and your zoom functions in this hunt because the basculin is very difficult to spot in this pond in particularly because of the shading of the pond as well it can be quite deceiving when the shiny spawns in but the shiny basculin that you're going to be looking for is a much brighter green than the duller green of the regular form the non shiny forms and also you'll not get great numbers spawning in at a time you might get four to five spawning in at a time but you once they do spawn in once you've taken your picnic down check them jump into the water if you need to check them to make sure they're not shiny it's worth checking with this pokemon because it is such a hard hunt and if none of them are shiny come back to the bank where you were standing originally set your picnic up despawn everything in the pond and then take it down again and repeat this process until you do get the shiny white stripe basculin in the pond as you can see here this is the one and even though I could notice a difference in it it was still very difficult to tell and it wasn't until I did get into the water go directly up to it that I could tell it was a shiny so this is why I say it's worth checking if you're a little bit unsure it's worth just jumping into the water just to encounter it to make sure that it is a shiny or it's not a shiny so you don't miss this pokemon because it is such a difficult probably one of the hardest shinies to go for in the teal mass the next new shiny pokemon that we will be hunting in this video is going to be ekken so to get a shiny ekken so we can have a shiny arbok in the game we are going to be heading to the ketokami hall area the entrance which takes us on to the revelas road and we're going to be heading to this location on our map which takes us down into the field land towards the mosfell conference area and it will be in the mosfell conference area located here where we will be entering a cave system where we can do a hunt an easy hunt for ekken almost afk so once you're at this location here outside the cave you are not going to be able to set a picnic up inside the cave you're going to want to drop a save here and then set your picnic up and create a sandwich is going to give you sparkling and in counterpart level three for poison type pokemon once you've done that enter the cave and you're going to already see a lot of ekken spawning in this area and you're going to want to position yourself this side of the cave next to the wall and again a little bit like the swinner method we're going to use the let's go function on our pokemon you'll see the ekkens there will be a rock on the other side where the ekkens will be coming out of the rock and just next to the rock will be another spawn point for the ekkens if you position yourself correctly here like we are right next to this edge and all you're going to want to do is send your pokemon out to get these ekkens and defeat them so it spawns more in if you're in the right location and doing this will mean that you're going to be able to see a lot of ekkens spawning in continuously throughout the 30 minutes that you have your sandwich power set up for so you want to just continue this method until the shiny spawns in if you get through the 30 minutes and you haven't got your shiny ekkens reset your game stop the process all over again until you do get the shiny ekkens very easy shiny to spot normal ekkens is purple and the shiny is a nice green color so easy easy shiny to spot no need to use a zoom function on this one when the shiny does spawn in in this area make sure you drop a save before you go into the encounter and then you're going to be able to grab yourself a shiny ekkens very easily in the games shiny that we're going to be going for is an exclusive to pokemon violet and it is going to be for more pico and it's going to be located on ony's more we're going to fly to the infernal pass fly point and make our way to the top of this boulder area here you've got a good view like we have of the area below once you're on this boulder you're going to want to drop a save and then again we're going to be using the picnic method so set your picnic up on this area and you're going to be wanting to create a sandwich that gives you encounter power and sparkling power level three for dark type pokemon once you've set that up take your picnic down and you'll see the more pico spawning in in the area below you you can use your zoom function for this method because the more pico's are quite small and you're quite far away from them so just using that zoom function will be able to identify them a lot easier and more pico normally has a yellow body the shiny variant has a white body so going to be very easy to spot in particular if you're looking at the feet of the more pico then the feet will always be white as well so a very easy sign to look for if you are trying to spot the shiny when these spawns are coming back in after taking your picnic down no shiny spawning set your picnic up despawn everything repeat this process until you do get that shiny more pico in this area and again this is an exclusive to pokemon violet so your scarlet players won't be able to do this one in your games and the next shiny hunt is going to be for shiny johtonian whooper we're going to make our way from the mesuitown towards kitakami road and we're going to be heading towards the revelers road area but before we get to the bridge we're going to be taking a right just down this path here towards the river and just over this edge so we just take an exit from mesuitown on to the kitakami road and here beside the river is where we're going to locate ourselves for this next hunt for the johtonian whooper going to drop a save and then we're going to set our picnic up and create a sandwich is going to give us the encounter power and sparkling power level three for ground type pokemon once we've set that up what we're going to do is use the town as a despawning method in this location so from this spot once you've taken your picnic down take a look at all the spawns in this area johtonian whooper going to be an easy one to spot because it's normally in its non shiny form it is going to be blue and its shiny form it is going to be pink if none of the pokemon spawned in at this time are pink then you're going to turn around from this spot where we are located and just make your way towards this wall here and it'll go from kitakami road into mesuitown and when you get to the mesuitown it will despawn everything on the field and you're going to turn right back around and come back to the place that we were originally standing to let more spawns come in and again just checking them to see if any of these spawns are the shiny one keeping an eye out for that pink whooper and if none are again just repeating this process turning back to the wall letting that mesuitown animation come up everything despawn on the field and repeating this process over and over again until you do get that shiny whooper coming onto the field the areas that you're going to watch out for are in the river here and just beside the tree area to the right of you and if you just check these areas you can use the zoom function to get a better look at the whooper spawning in especially next to the tree it will make things a little bit easier and you can use your ride pokemon to just get a little bit more height to your view as well to make it easier to spot the whoopers especially next to the tree rather than in the river area but once you do this enough time you will eventually get the shiny spawning in and it will be that pink one save before you encounter it and then you'll be able to grab yourself a shiny johtonian whooper in your copy of pokemon scarlet and violet and with that that is all 36 shinies that we'll be covering in today's video that are brand new to the teal mask hopefully you found these easy shiny hunt locations very very helpful to get your own shinies in your games if you have please drop a like on the video and do leave a comment down below let me know what your favorite new shiny is that's available in the teal mask i'd probably say mine is ariados i just love that shiny i think it's one of the best ones that we've got so far although not the best competitively still a very good shiny but if you do want

day and i will see you all in another video very soon so until then take care of yourselves and bye


My name is Tithuan Bernicott. I am the founder of Coral Gardeners. I'm based in French Polynesia, South Pacific Ocean on the sister island of Tahiti. I'm here today for my first World Ocean Week in New York with my ocean sister Sylvia and a lot of amazing ocean friends to talk about the coral reef. And can we maybe just acknowledge that you spoke with the UN earlier today? It was a great experience. I'm Amber Sparks. I'm co-founder of Blue Latitudes. We are a marine environmental consulting firm that works repurposing offshore oil and gas platforms into artificial reefs. And my other half is right here. And I'm Emily Hazelwood. I'm the other half of Blue Latitudes and we're really excited to be here to speak with you. I mean, there's so many directions to go here, but I guess the first thing is just to go deeper into the organizations that you each founded. So Coral Gardeners is slightly obvious from the name, but what exactly do you guys do? So we are the gardeners of the ocean. I started the organization about six years ago. Our mission is to help revolutionize ocean conservation and create that global movement to help save coral reef ecosystems. We focus on different areas of action, such as gardening corals like planting corals, we call it ecosystem restoration. We do also a lot of awareness telling the story of the reef. And this goes like with the local community empowerment, we bring a lot of people, fishermen island kids in the water to plant their corals and reconnect with their heritage. But also we have that new part of the work we do which is the innovation technology and science with the Coral Gardeners Labs where we are finding some new technologies, new solutions to better understand how the ecosystem works so we can better protect them. So we'll go deeper into what exactly that all means in a minute, but what does Blue Latitudes do? So we started Blue Latitudes because we recognized a problem. In all of the oceans, there are offshore oil and gas platforms, hundreds of them. And at some point each of these are going to be removed. Now that seems like it would be a simple solution, but at the same time below most of these offshore oil and gas platforms are some of the most productive ecosystems on the planet. And so we started Blue Latitudes to address this problem. How can we preserve these marine ecosystems on these offshore oil and gas platforms in a way that would be sustainable in a way that wouldn't impact the environment negatively. And so that's where we come in as consultants to evaluate and conduct assessments on these offshore oil and gas platforms to better understand their ecological value and their worth. When you say that these ecosystems are found below oil rigs, you mean directly on the legs of the oil rig, right? Exactly. Below every single oil and gas platform, it's like the first time you go diving on an oil platform you almost need to do a double take. You want to look above the surface at the platform and then look below the surface again because you would not believe that every single beam and cross beam is covered in marine life. Yeah, it's hard to really wrap your head around because when you see it from above you think like a blight upon the sea or heavy industry and what must that be doing to the sea. But so you're saying when you go below the surface that it's teeming with life. Exactly. Is that kind of crazy? It's incredibly unexpected and I think that is what gives us a lot of power and a place with Blue Latitudes. We were speaking earlier and I was saying we're not saved the whales, we're saved the whales just kind of an interesting space to be in. Which is really harder for people to get behind. Exactly. It doesn't necessarily go down as well. But those ecosystems are valuable and there's been a lot of studies done in California most recently that's found that there's some of the most productive ecosystems on the planet. So removing these platforms would be a significant loss. And so how did you guys each come to start your organizations, especially so young? Did you guys personally see changes in the ocean or what inspired you to try to tackle these challenging issues in the ocean? I was first exposed to the rig series program actually when I graduated from college. I had an opportunity to go work on the BP oil spill as a field tech. And that was the first time I'd ever seen an offshore oil and gas platform. And that was the first time I'd ever been confronted by the devastation that can be wrought by one of these massive structures. But what was interesting during that time is that we worked with a lot of fishermen and they would be driving our sampling boats around the gulf. And we'd be out there with them and they'd say, I can't wait to go fishing on these platforms this weekend. And at the time that seemed bizarre. I had no idea that these platforms could also support fish populations that people wanted to eat. And so that was the first time I learned that in the gulf they were turning these oil platforms into reefs. And when I moved to California to go to graduate school and I met Amber, she shared with me, California also has oil platforms except they weren't turning them into reefs. And that's when we realized there was a problem. It's really my dream job. I feel so lucky to be able to do this and to work with such a fascinating ecosystem. They are the coral reef. They are so complex. They are so full of life and things we don't know. They are the future for medicine.  We don't know enough about them. So the day I discovered what they were because growing up in Tahiti, we think it's just like the plants. They are really our garden. We don't get to understand that they are living organisms and they are maybe the thing giving us everything we need in our life. In Tahiti, for my friends, my family and I, they give us the best moments when we serve the coral reef waves. The swell arrived to the reef. The reef scarred the way we surf. And that's the biggest smiles on our faces. And they also protect our shores from big erosion. So naturally when I was 16 years old and I observed my first coral bleaching event and I discovered that this would have tremendous impact on the life in our ocean and then our life. I wanted to do something. But at that time there was not a lot of options for young people not willing to do eight years of studies to start acting for them. So we needed to get creative. Yeah. I mean, keep going. Maxim, no, I haven't. After I just played in my garden, after school, sometimes during school, and I was out there in the water just trying to understand how the reef ecosystem works, how the different species of corals they work, trial and narrow, I think you say in English and just getting to understand how we can collaborate with nature to create new habitats for the fish, same as the artificial reef and then bam, does it itself. And so I really liked the process of being in the garden and working with the fish and the corals. So I told my buddies, guys maybe we should invest more time in it. Maybe we should work hard and create a new job because they are gardeners on land. And now the ocean and the coral reef, they need some support. They need some help. So maybe tomorrow if you believe in my crazy vision you are going to be a gardener planting corals next to your favorite surf break and maybe soon around the world and we'll be the guardians of the reef. And at the beginning they were like, but how can we do that? We were just a bunch of school drop out, surfers, fishermen and then we met the right people and we work. I never worked that much since the day I left school. And I have no regrets that was the best decision of my life and today to have the opportunity to work with scientists, engineers, experts, it's a dream. For us as island kids we don't get to have those opportunities. And now to be talking on the big stage about the ocean, it means a lot. You mentioned sort of collaborating with nature, giving nature the opportunity to grow back given a little bit of help. Can you guys each talk about how you collaborate with local communities with this work? Like how do you work with the people involved, the local communities, the fishermen, whoever actually uses the sea there, who lives there? Well, when we're looking at repurposing an oil platform into a permanent artificial reef, you have to think about the fishermen and the divers that are going out there and utilizing that resource. And so we'll engage with those communities to understand what they value and what they're interested in seeing stay versus be completely removed from the ocean. So that's kind of our connection. And what we found is that a lot of fishermen are really excited about these structures. Like Emily mentioned, they'll go out on their weekends and that's where they're fishing. And that's where they're having fun with their families. Or divers who are looking for a thrill, a dive that's truly unlike anything else. Imagine the scaffolding of the Empire State Building. That's what it's like being on one of these platforms, except it's just all the beams and cross-beams and they're all covered in life. In California, we see scallops and enemies, schools of Jack Mackerel, even our state saltwater fish, the Garibaldi that Nesimic gets permanent home there. It's truly a incredible and beautiful environment. And so that draws in the community and connects us with them in the work we do. Yeah, I mean, this is the center of our work. The people who spend a lot of time in the water, they know so much. You have fishermen, they spend almost every day, 50 years fishing in the water, so they saw a lot of things. And also they understand that more corals, healthier reef, more fish. And so it's simple and I think it's the key. To have those people who rely on the reef to involve them at the beginning and in French Polynesia, this is a really particularity for coral gardeners because it's maybe one of the only project which was started by the island kids. I like to say the same one who were running naked in the neighborhood and surfing, fishing, they are the one who started the movement. So we have a dialogue with the fishermen which is different. They consider us as their voice and they want to do something. They are also sometimes a little bit lost what to do. So I think as we grow and try to have more reef around the world, it's so important that we keep this DNA and stay true to who we are and we go and help give opportunity, be a force of that new blue economy, avoid that parachute science and really bring the ocean people at the heart of the actions. Can you guys each talk about any of your favorite sort of success stories from the work that you do? One of the things that I really love about hosting Planet Visionaries is that everyone I talk to is involved in things that work, basically involved in solutions, contributing positively to the world. It's always uplifting to hear good ideas that actually work and can be implemented. What are the things that stick with you from the work that you guys have done so far? I think for a lot of the work that we do, when you see it off the cuff, people are usually anti-oil and gas and anti-rigster reefs. I think that can be really short-sighted because you're only looking at one side of the problem. People want to see these oil platforms removed. What is very gratifying for Amber and myself is when we do a lecture and we take people diving with us and they see the marine life and they see the science behind why these reefs are growing on oil platforms to change a mind. So anytime we give a lecture and you come away with someone saying, I had no idea there was reefs on oil platforms, or I had no idea that maybe we should come up with a different solution than totally removing them. To me, that's a success story and to me that feels good to change someone's mind and change someone's perspective about how to think about creative ocean management. Changing the perspective as to what constitutes habitat. Exactly. Like where can nature live? Exactly. We can point to specific success stories in the Gulf of Mexico. They've reefed over 500 platforms and one structure that we dove on off 200 miles offshore right outside the Flower Garden Banks. They actually expanded the sanctuary boundaries to include this platform because it had so much life and was such an integral part of that unique national monument. What also really inspires us is seeing this idea to really take root and grow in other areas around the world, places like Malaysia and Thailand are just reefing their first structures and working after years of working hand in hand with the community, which we were just talking about as essential. And so it's really exciting and gratifying to see it take that root and hopefully grow into something that can be really sustainable and successful. Were you just saying that they expanded the dimensions of the protected area to include the... An oil platform. Yeah, an oil platform. It's very counterintuitive. It is. I know. That's why I was like, that's a success right there. Yeah, that's interesting. On my side, I think one success story that I am proud is to see some of my team members. It's like my big brother, Maurite. We grew up together and two years degree, but he didn't find a job. He was coming from a family of fishermen. We grew up in the same neighborhood. He was always fixing the speaker, you know, with his hand, like the sound system, or the bicycle, everything was so good with his hand. And today he's working with amazing engineers who are coming from the MIT, SpaceX to see him collaborating with those big scientists and engineers, my buddy from the neighborhood. The thing I like this year. Can you explain the partnership and the support that Coral Gardeners has gotten from Rolex? For sure. We joined the Perpetual Planet Initiative. It's our biggest support so far. For us, what I love about this is that they want to see you succeed. Like it's campaigning us. It's advising us. And it's also giving more exposure to the work we do, you know, especially when you're lost in the middle of the South Pacific ocean. So no, I think it's so important to choose the right lie for this mission. And yeah, happy to have them as the partners. Yeah. Actually, that raises an interesting question for both of you guys. How that global reach affects your work? Like how much of what you do is about sort of public outreach and helping people to understand the work that you do. And I mean, can you kind of talk about that, like the between actually doing the work and then explaining the work to others that people understand the value of the work and that others actually care about protecting the ocean. Yeah, we actually had to start a whole other company just to address that one question. So we have our for-profit company that works in a consulting effort, works with offshore oil and gas companies to assess their oil platforms as reefs. And then in 2018, we formed the Blue Latitudes Foundation that works specifically on outreach, education, research, understanding the value of these structures and going out and communicating that value and talking to groups about what ocean conservation could look like from a non-traditional lens. You know, I think it's simple. Today, we don't have enough people who know about what's going on with the ocean and coral reef. And that's maybe the biggest problem is that if we had way more people who were connected or were aware about what our oceans are facing, maybe it would be another story for this World Ocean Week 2023. But the problem is that not enough people are aware and they feel connected to the ocean half of the oxygen we breathe. So I think it's as much important or maybe more to communicate about the work that you do than doing it on the field. I think it's a great opportunity to inspire more people to start a project, to join projects, to support initiatives around the world. So at Coral Gardeners, we took this really seriously first because at the beginning we had no credibility but just a bunch of surfers, fishermen and there was no way we could get some governmental funding or grants. So we needed to show the world what we were doing and hoping people would support us. And so then we started using the power of photography, videography storytelling and we started seeing that today with our modern day tools like the Internet we can reach the world and people they can see what we are doing on a daily basis from all around the planet. So we had some really successful campaign. Well, I was directing a creative campaign in 2019 with a friend of mine called Alexi Ren and I was thinking about this little video to explain what is going on with the core if and the video blew up we posted and it's 78 million views on one post. It's in the top five of the most viewed video ever of the Instagram platform and in just 10 days we gained half a million people following our work and that's where I understood that even from our tiny headquarter we can reach the world and we need to.  That's so cool. It's interesting on the one hand it sounds like really big numbers but then actually if you consider the proportion of humanity that lives on the coast and it actually is directly affected by the ocean. I mean we're currently a couple miles from the ocean. Most humans are directly affected by the sea and so when you think of those terms you're like actually those numbers aren't that crazy. It makes sense that people should be caring about the fate of the ocean. Anything to add on that is kind of like how you try to connect with the next generation how you inspire people to care about the ocean. Visuals are such a powerful tool and Sylvia has a great quote with knowing comes caring and with caring there can be hope for the future of our oceans and how do you know anything unless you can see it. Seeing is believing. It's really difficult to go into a room and say I want to save an oil platform because nobody would believe you. If you want to take someone diving you have to show them through videos and photos how amazing and productive these reefs are. It doesn't mean that they're any less important. It means they're incredibly important and I think for us it's a story of hope in a weird way because we're all responsible for these oil platforms and it's nice silver lining that because they've been left alone, because you can't really do commercial fishing on them because they're in blue ocean settings away from those lines away from erosion and runoff. They can turn into productive reefs. They've been left alone and I think that can resonate with people. I think people like to learn that the ocean is powerful and resilient if given a chance. While we're talking about sort of inspiring and inspiring hope I mean I totally agree with you that having positive stories and I saw you were agreeing as well to draw on like knowing that there's that the ocean can heal itself if given the time and space and opportunity. It is incredibly hopeful. So what are your hopes for your respective organizations? Like what do you hope that Blue Latitudes and Coral Gardeners will achieve moving into the future? My greatest hope with Blue Latitudes and the work that we're doing with the Rigstories program is to expand beyond just oil platforms. The reality is we're going to continue to use our oceans for energy production for food production for transportation and even though oil and gas may be on its way out but offshore wind is quickly becoming it's actually the fastest growing offshore energy industry in the world. So that's what's going to replace these oil platforms offshore wind turbines. So if we can get people to think differently about these wind turbines think about them as possible reef spots. To me that's going to be an incredible area of success and that's where we're really hoping to move into is expanding into other sectors of offshore energy and the wind sector in particular. Does it even have to be offshore energy? It's really just any human interface with the ocean. Any kind of man-made structures can also be potential havens for nature. Is that kind of the broader idea? Yeah, our mission is we want to seek out areas of our oceans where industry and the environment have intersected but rather than have a negative impact they've had a positive one. And we want to understand why. Why is that and how can we replicate that across other areas of our oceans to make from those more sustainable use cases of our oceans to acknowledge that we will continue using our oceans but there's a way to do so that's sustainable and more of a win-win result. While very carefully not trying to promote industry in the oceans. Exactly. I would assume. Exactly. I mean that's kind of the tension right? Exactly. You're trying to promote win-win scenarios but not trying to promote more oil construction or development in the sea. No, it's a good point. It's something we do want to think about. You're never going to catch Amber or I promoting saying let's keep drilling or anything like that but it's more about taking a reality check about how we use our resources and how we can do so sustainably. Just like that. Yeah. To come back on that point of inspiring more people to learn about the ocean I think we need to make that conservation something irresistible. I think you say in English something that people they want to be a part of so when you think about it like I think after football the museums are the second place where most of the people they gather and I think we should use really the power of collaboration art. We need to create emotion in people with the ocean. When you have a grandfather going with his grandson or granddaughter to a museum to see a beautiful exhibition about the coral reef of the ocean there will be a moment. There will be that emotion and that's what we need to try to create those experiences where people even if they are not diving with them they are going to connect. The ambition we have with coral gardeners is Georgia. We have a lot of work ahead of us. It's in terms of reaching more people. I would love that every everyone on this planet knows what the coral is how important the oceans are and I would also really love to use that coral gardening. It's so tangible the action and I think that's how we're going to get people. They plant their own coral and they feel attached to their coral so now it's about yeah taking action creating a hotspot marine protected areas restring the damage reef and trying to reduce our global warming because if this continue like this to rise biodiversity life us we're gone. So we need now plants action and to work hard. So on that note what is the perpetual planet initiative mean to you guys in a time of climate change in a time of rapidly changing environmental impacts what is the perpetual planet. What first comes to mind for me is what are we leaving behind for our children and our children's what kind of legacy are we leaving for them for conservation and ways of working with the environment to preserve, protect or even utilize it in a sustainable way and so being a part of that is trying to offer those solutions and connect with them through the community get people involved and engaged. I love talking about getting working with punies from a when they're young or just enjoying the ocean as a place of fun and a place where they go with their friends how can you take advantage of those moments to really inspire future generations to preserve and protect the oceans. No I have to agree with Amber I have a daughter now and I think about the amazing places that I've had the opportunity to see and dive and experience and we're just chatting about I'd been to Rangiroa and Fakhrabad and how special those places are and I think to myself I hope those are around when she can visit and that's powerful when you think about they might not be that's like something that's become part of the dialogue these days and I think when I think of perpetual planet I think of maintaining those resources so that they can be around for her generation for generations beyond her so that she can experience those incredible places in a way that's healthy and see how healthy and beautiful the reefs and our oceans can truly be. I think perpetual planet it's the ultimate goal because it means that our planet will continue to live that life is going to still be found on this planet so the temperature can be regulated the oxygen that we all breathe so I think I really like those two words for me they are the ultimate goal right now we're trying to reinvent the relationship that humanity as humans we have with the ocean how we connect so I agree with you Amber that we need more kids to experience the joy the happiness when you are playing with fish waves free diving or just nature in general because when you like your playground you want to keep it alive and so yeah I think perpetual planet is a good solution. And what advice would you guys each give to the average person as to how they could help keep the planet perpetual I always want to encourage anybody that were speaking to different school groups things like that to have them look at their own unique special talents whether that be they're really great at writing or at photography or maybe they love organizing groups of people to do some sort of beach cleanup or something like that whatever their unique gifts are to really use those towards a conservation goal because when you tap into that and everybody is using their own unique gift then we can kind of come together and from every angle find ways to connect with our oceans and ultimately preserve them. I'll just throw myself out there as a very unusual example of exactly what you're describing because my only the only thing I'm good at is climbing big walls which is an unusual path to go down and yet here I am hosting a podcast about ocean conservation about environmental work more broadly and I actually started a foundation that supports solar projects abroad and basically works in the same kind of environmental space and it is a good example that no matter what the weird thing that you personally are called to do it can potentially be used for something positive in the world. You know it's like you never quite know where the path is going to take you but it's like if you're really passionate about something and you follow whatever your gift is like you never really know how it can wind up being useful. But back to what do you guys think about how the average person can help keep the planet perpetual? I think one of the most powerful gifts that anyone can have is to stay curious.  You want to ask why about everything and you want to learn about everything and then you get to be an adult and you stop thinking about the world. You start thinking about your own silo and you start thinking about your own path and I think if you can maintain and stay curious about the world to ask questions about the world to want to explore the world that means that you will care about the world and you will want to maintain that planet the way it is. So I think if people could stay more curious and ask questions about the world about why things are the way they are that can be an incredible conservation tool. I think today it's clear that we are all connected to the ocean with wherever we are on the planet whether we are on your biggest wall or at the bottom of the sea we all connected to the ocean and I think we need more people. Like you say to connect with it to learn about it to spread the world. This is something easy to do to tell those stories about the ocean and to educate more people and then it's about also reducing our own carbon footprint. It's not easy to do. It's the way we eat when we move. I stopped eating the red meat three years and a half ago because I understood it was the first reason the temperature of the water was rising and I still have so much progress to do but it's little daily changes and also supporting innovation. When there is something new happening like electrical cars, things we need to support those innovations because we are not going to be able to change everyone. So we need to find new ways to live. We need to find new ways to power our daily life using renewable energies. New way to move to eat so we need to support those people that they are coming with innovation and to motivate them. But I'm confident because the new generation a lot of them have crazy ideas and they want to do something revolutionary and that's the only way we're going to stabilize the global warming climate change and that will maybe still have life on our planet and maybe us. I think with that we're going to open up for audience Q&A. I think there is a microphone floating around or there will be if anyone has any questions here's one in the front. Hi, thank you all for your words and your work. I was just curious about what the next level might look like for each of you and each of your organizations and what you think you need to get there. More coral, obviously. So much coral. I agree, I like this. One million the goal for 2025. It's a lot of work but it's feasible. You want to answer first? We are actually working on a really exciting modeling tool that is going to help us make predictions about which platforms or offshore wind farms could be good candidates for artificial reefs because it's very time consuming to survey one reef or one oil platform especially when you consider there are thousands so this is something that we're really excited about that we've been gathering the information and the data for and this is something that we're very excited about that we think is going to take things to the next level to start bringing this to be a more international program. Currently is the program just off the coast of the US? Currently we see offshore oil and gas platforms being converted into reefs in the Gulf of Mexico, in Malaysia, and in Thailand but hopefully that will be changing soon especially with this tool. We're calling it fishlet. Wait but so back to the rest of that question for Tituan. What's the next level for your organization? You said a million corals but what does that mean a million corals? More corals. Well it means a million but does that mean planting a million individual corals? Coral frustration right now the issue is that it has not scale. You know you have a lot of groups around the world. Most of the groups are struggling with funding not to have one employee so it's just a couple hundred corals being planned so everything needs to be done and so the goal is to have long-term projects so you have enough long-term monitoring and data set. That's what is missing for the field of restoration at the moment. It's also new methodology really focusing on climate change, more resilient corals to put together to the next level. We need to focus on reducing the cost and the time to produce coral fragments. And to scale this around the world we are opening in the next couple of weeks in Fiji and Thailand. We're going to have amazing locals there planting the corals. We love this to become a new movement, a new job of that blue economy where you have champions, guardians of the reef, gardeners around the planet planting and reaching that first million of corals. You know we have people on land, they plant a billion tree. Why can't we plant a million coral? And right now it's such a small scale and also having just more people knowing about the reef and then it's the technology and innovation. You have a question in front, Sylvia? I have a question for each of these topics. For you, Tashwan, coral reef is more than coral as you well know. What are you doing to think about restoring other aspects that are also depleted like the parrotfish, the groupers, the crustaceans? That's one. Hold that thought. And for this rockin' team here, many of the rigs are much deeper than divers can go. Are you using equipment to explore down below where you can take yourselves? Each of these rigs does provide like a vertical transect from the surface down to as deep as they might be standing. Sometimes in 100 feet sometimes deeper, but they're like built in laboratories. Scientists would wish to have a vertical transect to see what impact light has and a lot of things, but here they are ready made. And to what extent are you finding the opportunities to go deep and do you see that as a future endeavor to look at these deep water systems that are right there connected to where you focus your time? And again, coral reef is not just coral, it's a metropolis. It's our underwater cities. I think Ocean Sista, it's a good question. We already talked about it and coral reef is the most biodiverse ecosystem on the planet. Like the coral triangle close to Rajah and Pat, I've never been, I'd love to visit one day. It's the biggest hotspot of biodiversity on our blue planet. So it's not just the corals, they are the base, the habitat for the smaller fish, but it's the sea urchin, the stars, the clams, the moray eel, the sharks at the top. And so what I can tell you is that I will never get bored because after planting the coral right now I really want my team and I to focus on really doing it well with the corals, the building species, the base of the food chain, and ecosystem. And then I'm already thinking about growing farming clams. They are sharing the same zoos until I or maybe sea urchin or why not fish. So that's why I'm saying I will never get bored because there is so much to learn about the coral reef. It's so complex and I'm sure we have so many more species to discover and learn how to work with them. So it's planned. Step by step, one day I will take you to farm and plant clams. Can I come? Yeah, please. Let's go, adopt a clam. For our work, I wish I could say that I put on a wetsuit every day and got to go diving on these structures, but that's not the reality. Most of the time we're using remotely operated vehicles to look at these platforms from sea floor all the way to sea surface and the deep sea is perhaps my favorite environment. You're in an area that's dark, no light, high pressures, cold water and there is incredible life that can be found at these steps. It's so different from what you're going to find on these tropical coral reefs. And in some cases people don't understand it. They don't want to study it because it's number one not as accessible but also not as colorful or vibrant. But our deep seas hold some of the most important secrets for medicine and they're also some of the most biodiverse areas, more biodiverse than what we find in our shallow water reefs. And so understanding them is just the first step. Unfortunately because they're difficult to access, there's not that much research or understanding around them. So we're very grateful that in the work that we do we get to go down and look at these ecosystems and begin to study them, begin to understand them. And recently in the Gulf of Mexico we were looking at a structure in about 7,000 feet water depth that was covered in this coral called Lophelia and it's a rare coral that's protected in many areas and here it was on a subsea template. A little piece of equipment that's associated with oil and gas that normally would just be ripped out but it's covered in this protected coral and we were able to do an environmental survey, quantify that and really present it to the regulators to get it to be left in place once the decommissioning had been complete and preserve those corals in that one little bit of the deep sea which that's the last part of my spiel here is that the deep sea is the majority of our oceans and we really don't know much about it yet. So I hope that I have more opportunities to explore it. Well that's the perfect conclusion for us here though we'll all be hanging out after so feel free to chat with us all. But I just want to say a big thank you for everybody for coming. It's a real pleasure getting to chat with you guys and if anybody's interested in any of these other Planet Visionary podcasts you can find any of them including Season 1 Episode 1 with Sylvie Earl anywhere you get your podcasts and enjoy. Thank you guys for coming.
