This video is the most comprehensive guide
to efficiently hunting and catching your very
own shiny luma temtem. In this video, I take
you step-by-step on how to prepare for your
luma hunt and essentially guarantee catching
any luma you encounter using what I call "the
bait and wait method". This guide helps prevent
you from running out of cards or whiting out
and failing to catch your luma temtem. Whether
you're a complete beginner or you already
know your way around the Airborne Archipelago,
you're sure to learn something that will help
you on your quest for your very own luma temtem.
Put them first in your party and be the envy
of all! Put them first in your party and people
will stop and stare in envy. I'm Millarz,
and I've personally caught over two dozen
lumas without having any faint on me or running
out of cards, so I know these techniques work.
Before we get into the video, comment what
lumas you're hoping to have or already have.
I personally really want a luma kinu. They're
so pretty! If you end up liking the video,
consider giving it a thumbs up. This guide
got so long that I ended up having to split
it into multiple videos, so if you want to
learn more about how to catch lumas and watch

it!
[Luma information] First off, what is a luma?
If you come from pokemon, you probably know
them as shinies. Lumas are extremely rare
alternatively colored temtem with an added
glow that trails behind it when the luma walks.
When sent into battle, they emit a brilliant
white flash paired with a shimmering sound
effect. Lumas always have a luma star next
to their name in battle as well, so don't
worry about not being able to tell if that
new temtem you encountered is luma or not. Lumas
caught in the wild are guaranteed to have
three perfect SVs, or stat values, with a
minimum of 20 SVs in remaining stats. This
does not include the spd stat, which still
remains in the 1 to 50 range. It is important
to note that it is far easier to just buy
or breed an all perfect temtem that is not
a luma, so don't go hunting lumas just for
their stats. If you don't know what SVs are,
just know that the higher the SVs, the better
the temtem is in battle. There is a one in
eight-thousand chance for each temtem encountered
in the wild to be a luma, with a few exceptions
like the saipark and breeding which I'll get
into in a future video. Now that you know
what they are, lets get into how to find one!

    Step One: Gathering essential items
and temtem. You'll need several items and
temtem before you go out hunting to maximize
your luma chances and ensure no mishaps occur
when you do find one. The items are the four
leaf clover, decoy, lure, and some type of
temcards. A lot of them. Grease is also optional.
The suggested temtem to use are a benefactor
kinu, a tanky temtem, a cage user, and another
temtem to hold the decoy. I explain the items,
where to find them, and what temtem to use,
and why in more detail in this video linked
in the i-card above and in the description
below. There are a lot of nuances and exceptions
to choosing the right temtem team, so feel
free to pause this video and watch the other
video before coming back to this one. Just
try not to close this video while you're watching
the other one! Youtube doesn't seem to like
that. Thanks!
    Step Two: Setting up your team. Now
that you have all the items and temtem you
need for luma hunting, lets put them together!
Give the kinu the four leaf clover. Give the
tank temtem the lure to hold. Give the decoy
to almost any other temtem. You can give the
cage user grease if you're not confident that
your cage user or kinu can tank hits from
an untamed luma if you're hunting temtem that
are immune to sleep. Fill up the rest of your
party with other tanky temtem if you don't
think your tank will last forever. The first
and second temtem in your party should be
the benefactor kinu and the temtem holding
the decoy. The order of the first two temtem
doesn't matter, so long as they're both sent
out each encounter. Feel free to give your
decoy to a luma you already have and put it
in the first slot to show it off.
    Step Three: Pick a place and start running
back and forth in the grass. There's a little
more to it than just finding grass and running
in it. Some areas have higher encounter rates
and luma rates than others. For more information
on picking your hunting spot, click on the
video in the i-card or description below.
    Step Four: Run. Once you encounter
untamed temtem, run away immediately if the
temtem is not a luma. Catching or fainting
temtem while you are luma hunting severely
reduces your encounter rate. A lower encounter
rate means you have less chances to find lumas.
If your main goal is to find a luma, just
run from encounters. To run quickly, press
the 8 key on your computer twice. It's way
faster than clicking or using the arrow keys
to run. Keep encountering and running away
from untamed temtem until you encounter a
luma. I highly recommend watching a tv show
or youtube video while hunting because constantly
running away from temtem can get monotonous. You'll
have to repeat this step anywhere from one
to infinite times. That's just how luck works!
Here's a bit of a gauge though. At normal
luma odds of 1 in 8000, your chance of having encountered a
luma is 50% after about 5500 individual temtem
encountered. This means that if you encounter
5500 temtem, you have a 50% chance that at
least one of those 5500 temtem was a luma.
Do keep in mind that about half of your encounters
will include two individual temtem encountered
since either one or two temtem can show up.
I'll have another video in the future that
helps conceptualize just how long it takes
to luma hunt. I'll link that video here when
it's done.
    Step Five: Encounter a luma. Once you
find a luma, don't freak out! Ok, maybe freak
out a little. Or a lot. But don't run while
you're freaking out! You'd be surprised how
many people accidentally run away from lumas.
It may be tempting to hit the luma to lower
it's hp so it's easier to catch. Don't do
that. In fact, never ever ever ever hit the
untamed luma with a technique that can inflict
any kind of damage, damaging condition, or
exhausted condition. This might cause the
luma to accidentally overexert itself and
tragically faint from the damage. Untamed
and NPC temtem are coded to never faint themselves
from overexertion so long as nothing else
damages them that turn. Our strategy to get
the luma's health low is to let it keep overexerting
itself over and over again until it's a basically
1 hp. Then we inflict status conditions on
the luma and catch it! I call this luma hunting
tactic "the bait and wait method." You bait
the luma with a lure and wait for it to lower
its own hp. This gives us the highest possible
chance of catching the luma using the fewest
amount of cards without risking fainting the
luma. This works with every type of temtem
with a few exceptions I'll cover in a future
video. Follow these next steps exactly.
    Step Six: The first turn. On turn one,
swap out your decoy temtem to your tank temtem.
If there is another wild temtem next to the
luma, use your kinu to hit the non-luma. Do
not ever target the non-luma with two temtem,
since you may faint the non-luma with one
temtem and then accidentally faint the luma
with the other. 
    Step Seven: Wait. If there is still
a non-luma next to the luma, hit the non-luma
with ONE of your temtem. Make sure you don't
use a move that damages the whole team. Make
your other temtem wait. If there is only the
luma temtem in the encounter, make both of
your temtem wait. If your tank temtem's health
is low, you may use healing moves or items on
your tank temtem. Repeat this step until the
luma has overexerted itself down to approximately
1 hp.
    Step Eight: Swap in the cage user. The
turn after the luma has overexerted itself,
swap out your tank temtem for your cage user.
Doing this after the luma has overexerted
itself ensures the cage user won't get hit
by a move the turn it is swapped in. 
    Step Nine: Give the luma status conditions: Make
your cage user use cage and your kinu use
hypnosis. If your kinu is fast, it can put
the wild luma to sleep before it has a chance
to attack your temtem. 
    Step Ten: Throw cards: Keep throwing
cards at the luma until it is caught or until
the status conditions wear off. You can heal
your cage user or kinu during this time if
they took a lot of damage before the luma
was put to sleep. If the status conditions
wear off, repeat steps eight through ten.
    Step Eleven: Congratulations! You've
caught a luma you can show off to your friends!
That's all there is to it! I suggest practicing
this technique on non-lumas before hunting
just to make sure you've got it down pat when
the real deal appears. If this guide helped
you catch your very own luma, consider give
