LIVE! Shiny Ursaring After 6,297 REs via Emerald GBA Insertion [Platinum] [SIQ #1]Brance2017-06-19 | This hunt requires a Nintendo DS system with dual slots for both Platinum and Emerald. This hunt used a level 35 repel trick. Time of day does not matter.

Shoutouts to ShinyCollector98 for guessing the nature.Shiny Latios via Eon Ticket After ~500-1000 SRs [Sapphire]Brance2017-12-27 | Thank you everyone for 1000 subs! This perfect shiny was supposed to be my 1000 special but since it wasn't LIVE I don't think that would be fair to you. I'm still very happy I found Latios as I haven't been hunting much and it is my #1 dream shiny for 3rd gen.
Huge shoututs to ShinyCollector98 for sharing his EON ticket so I could hunt for it!LIVE! ~8% Shiny Pineco After 4,723 REs via Emerald GBA Insertion [Platinum]Brance2017-10-08 | The trick for Pinsir which resulted in shiny pineco involves quite a few variables. The 40% swarm for Pinsir, Level 48 Repel Trick to remove 5% pidgey, Emerald GBA Slot Insertion for Pineco, and setting the game time to Night for Ariados to appear. Morning gives Ledyba and Day gives pidgey. I decided to do slot insertion because it overwrites the 4% beautifly and 4% dustox encounter slots. Since I already have both it increases the chance of finding something new if I were not to get my target. Emerald, Sapphire, and Ruby are all viable insertions making this a very diverse route. For my next phase I will be using Ruby as I already have a gen 4 Ludicolo from HGSS.
Shoutouts to Sonikkts for the slot insertion idea who just a day earlier gave me the idea. Please subscribe to him so he can afford to feed his cute gerbils at: youtube.com/channel/UCr2amlwXxOx14mtt9FORipw

Shiny Krabby After 674 FEs (+Evolution) (Virtual Console) [Silver]Brance2017-10-07 | Pretty cool that you can fish in Misty's Gym! While Krabby was not my target, it was a pretty expected find given it is 60% and Kingler is 10% with the super rod. Note that Staryu only appears at night so if you are looking for one you will have to reset your clock. The super rod is located south of Lavender town in Kanto.

Shiny Poliwag After 4,849 REs (+Evolutions) (Virtual Console) [Silver] [ DTQ #3]Brance2017-10-06 | This hunt used sweet scent which Oddish learns on level 7 and can found on levels 5-6 in Ilex forest early on in Gold, Silver, and Crystal. By fainting the Oddish at the front of the party, sweet scent encounters are much quicker than surfing encounters. At the end of the video is the shiny evolution into Poliwhirl and Poliwrath.
2nd Gen | Shiny Pokemon | Gold | Silver | Crystal | VC | Virtual Console | Poliwag EvolutionLIVE! Shiny Nidoran F After 2,518 REs (+Evolutions) (Virtual Console) [Silver] [DTQ #2]Brance2017-09-29 | This hunt used a level 12 Repel Trick which gets rid of the unwanted teleport Abra and Ditto and increases Nidoran Female to 35%. Yanma is easily the fastest available Pokemon on the route and can be caught at level 12 for the Repel trick. At the end of the video is the evolution for Nidorina and Nidoqueen
There are only 2 moon stones available before Mount Moon in Kanto but you have to go out of your way to find them if you don't want to wait that long to evolve your Nidorina or Nidorino into Nidoqueen or Nidoking. The simplest one requires surf and is located just inside the entrance of Tohjo falls. The more difficult method involves giving your mother money to save. If you give her $18,300 and then win 5 battles she will send a moon stone to your pc box. For more details check the bulbapedia link: bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Mom_(Johto)

Shiny Chikorita After 100 SRs!!! (Virtual Console) [Silver] [DTQ #1]Brance2017-09-24 | Unfortunately the volume was turned down by accident. This is my fastest 8192 hunt to date! While everyone else was hunting for their Silver and Gold virtual console Johto starters I was SRing for a mirror ID as a result of being bullied into it. It turns out it was worth it because the lucky Chikorita shined so fast!

I was going to start my swarm hunt for Pinsir but I kept getting beldum swarms and being one of my top 5 favorite shiny lines I caved. When I saw the first Rhydon its animation reminded me of a dab. So I made a silly dab emjoi earlier in the day by editing the platinum sprite. Little did I know that the dab emoji would bring the Rhydab luck!LIVE! Shiny Surskit After 5,714 REs [Platinum] [DTQ #5]Brance2017-09-20 | Target 5 of the Platinum DTQ claimed after only 14 encounters into my hunting session for the day!

Shiny Latias After 7,380 RAs via EON Ticket (+Mega) [Omega Ruby] [MTQ #7]Brance2017-09-15 | I've always been a fan of the Latios / Latias duo. Seeing as how my friend gave me an EON Ticket for Omega Ruby and Latias has a Mega form I couldn't think of a single reason why I shouldn't do this hunt as a special additional target for my Mega Team Quest. Really glad that I did because it looks simply amazing!How to Level Up Pass Powers and Connect via the Entralink [Pokemon Black 2 & White 2]Brance2017-09-11 | Normally I would never consider uploading non-shiny content to my channel but after struggling to figure out how to connect my Black 2 and White 2 through the Entralink I really felt that the Pokemon community could use an easy to follow guide. This video explains how I prepared my Pass Powers for the Exadrill hunt I am currently doing which I will link in the description once it shines.LIVE!

Shiny Swinub After 3,816 REs via Repel Trick [Platinum] [DTQ #4]Brance2017-09-06 | Although I would have been happy to clear the route before my target shined I couldn't be happier with the way it turned out. 2 insanely short phases for two amazing shinies with solid natures.
Shoutouts to ShinyTwins178 Brooke who was the first one to finish her quest. To see other participants check out the sheet below.
Similar to Amaura I recorded both the top and bottom screen simultaneously and tried to make natural video splits between them. Unfortunately it resulted in some poor audio jumps and I decided to replace the preshiny audio with the Mossdeep soundtrack.Uncatchable Shiny Piloswine in the Battle Pyramid After 3,360 REs [Emerald]Brance2017-09-02 | On my final gold symbol I ran into a shiny piloswine on the 4th floor of the 7th set of the Battle Pyramid in Emerald. Of course it would happen.LIVE! Shiny Bagon After 1,879 REs (+Evolutions) [Omega Ruby] [MTQ #5]Brance2017-09-01 | Insane luck to get Bagon in meteor falls first phase and so quickly! I included the evolutions and the MEGA form at the end of the video. Sorry for the long capture. I could have been more prepared.LIVE! Shiny Meditite After 13,896 REs (+Evolution) [Omega Ruby] [MTQ #4]Brance2017-08-29 | Sadly I must admit that after 7,843 REs Meditite became my first shiny fail as I accidentally hit run before I seeing it while watching Werster's Emerald Frontier Run. However, I reclaimed it with the very same gender the next phase so its like it never even happened!LIVE! Shiny Treecko After 10,425 SRs/20,850 Seen [Sapphire] [DTQ #1]Brance2017-08-27 | This guy completes my Hoenn trio in 3st gen! It also ends my Sapphire's drought of 51,563 SRs since Kyogre.
P. S. Green tea = grass[1st OF THE DAY!] ~LIVE! Shiny Tepig After 21,600 SRs [White 2] [FTQ #1]Brance2017-08-22 | Unfortunately I suffered the consequences of recording with multiple instances of OBS but I think I can avoid it in the future. I still think it turned out pretty well considering.
Shoutouts to Sonikkts who this Friend Team Quest is for. So glad I finally completed the Trio after 39,989 SRs and can move on to other hunts.

Shoutouts to ShinyTwins178 (Brooke) who always leaves the room when I find a shiny.[ISHC #17] LIVE REACTION! Shiny Silcoon (+Evolution) [Emerald]Brance2017-08-15 | I wasn't planning on uploading this because I did a bad job making a good video. However, since its my only beautifly line shiny and it was in emerald I decided it was worth adding to my channel which I treat as like a journal of my journey.

Shiny Shuppet After ONLY 282 REs [Omega Ruby]Brance2017-08-15 | For my 4th MTQ target I decided to go for Meditite. Partly because it has an amazing shiny and partly because I would have the chance to snag a shuppet in the same area which also has a great mega form. I gladly got this guy instead of my target for phase 1![ISHC #15] LIVE! Shiny Sliggoo After 2,842 REs [X] [DTQ #6]Brance2017-08-08 | Final member of my X DTQ! I found all 6 plus a few more in only about a month. Insane luck! Like with Trevenant, I picked up a Durant with Swarm from the shaking bushes on the route for faster encounters with the level 47 repel trick.[ISHC #14] LIVE! Shiny Trevenant After ONLY 221 REs [X] [DTQ #5]Brance2017-08-06 | This hunt used a level 50 Repel trick to increase Trevenant to its highest rate of 28%. I led with the swarm ability on a Durant which you can find at level 46 in rustling bushes on route 18. Very easy to level up 4 levels and has access to thunder wave![ISHC #13] LIVE! Shiny Amaura After 5,545 Fossils Revived [X] [DTQ# 4]Brance2017-08-04 | Shoutouts to SHSkavhaug for his generous donation of 3 more fossils so that I could SR for 5 at a time.
Shoutouts to Will for guessing the nature.[ISHC #12] LIVE! Shiny Regirock After 1,420 SRs (No Master Ball Strategy) [Ruby]Brance2017-08-02 | I didn't have a Master Ball on Ruby to catch this Legendary Pokemon. However, I analyzed the optimal capture strategy and decided that the probability of success was worth the risk. My plan involved having to use Timer Balls after turn 21 while spamming sleep. While I got lucky for both Regice and Registeel the strategy proved effective against Regirock extending the battle up to 60 turns before it was captured.
Shiny Pokemon | Shiny Legendary | Shiny Legendary Pokemon | Shiny Legendary Pokemon Reaction[ISHC #11] LIVE!

However, I analyzed the optimal capture strategy and decided that the probability of success was worth the risk. I ended up just getting lucky instead as my plan involved having to use Timer Balls after turn 21 while spamming sleep.
Shiny Pokemon | Shiny Legendary | Shiny Legendary Pokemon | Shiny Legendary Pokemon Reaction[ISHC #10] LIVE! Shiny Tyrunt After 6,460 Fossils Revived [X] [DTQ #3]Brance2017-07-29 | I started this hunt back in 2014 around the time X/Y came out. For whatever reason I decided to take a break. Recently I've been trying to complete some unfinished hunts. After only 755 seen on the file my hunt for Tyrunt is over![ISHC #9] LIVE! Shiny Flabebe After 6,967 REs [X] [DTQ #2]Brance2017-07-27 | I was doing a level 9 repel trick to remove hordes plus a Modest synchronizer since a lot of the targets in the area would make good Modest shinies.[ISHC #8] LIVE! 3 Shiny Lotads in the Safari Zone After 30,053 REs [Heart Gold]Brance2017-07-25 | Lotad 1: 10,878 REs | Lotad 2: 439 REs | Lotad 3: 18,736 REs

Shoutouts to Mr. Ingno for failing his Regice for the Gimmick points and becoming the inspiration behind the nickname.
Shiny Pokemon | Shiny Legendary | Shiny Legendary Pokemon | Shiny Legendary Pokemon Reaction[ISHC #6] LIVE! Shiny Honedge After 1,818 REs via Magnet Pull [X] [DTQ #1]Brance2017-07-21 | This hunt used a level 11 repel trick + magnet pull on Kalos Route 6 in X.
This entire hunt for Honedge was probably the luckiest phase hunt I have ever had. Even though I went over phase odds for my target I found some really great rarer X shinies along the way with no duplicates.[ISHC #5] LIVE! 2 in 1 DAY! 5.6% Shiny Sentret After ONLY 75 REs [X]Brance2017-07-19 | This hunt used a level 11 repel trick + magnet pull on Kalos Route 6 in X.
This is my new shortest hunt to date by far. Its incredible that barely an hour of hunting later I hit another shiny frame on the same game.[ISHC #3/4] LIVE! Two 11% Shiny Espurrs After 3,068 & 2,089 REs (+Evolutions) [X]Brance2017-07-17 | This hunt used a level 11 repel trick + magnet pull on Kalos Route 6 in X.
I admit that I generally try not to spoil evolutions and shiny forms for myself if I can help it. Espurr itself is quite possibly the scariest looking Pokemon so I was upset to have gotten not just one but two. However, after my second Espurr I decided to take a peak at the shiny forms for Meowstic and completely changed my mind. I can't believe how lucky and amazing it was to have found one of each gender![ISHC #2] LIVE! 8% Shiny Tangela CAUGHT in the Great Marsh After 13,375 REs (+Evolution) [Platinum]Brance2017-07-14 | If you are going to catch something in the Safari Zone its better to catch the harder targets and fail the easy ones as the reclaim is much less difficult. Great Marsh Tangela is worth failing 2 Lotads.
Shoutouts to ShinyTwins178 (Brooke and Willow) and Aaron Oathout who were in the call.[ISHC #1] LIVE! 3 in 1 DAY! Shiny Squirtle After 3,684 SRs (+Evolutions) [X]Brance2017-07-11 | ISHC #1. +3 points for BabyBrance x BrookieBear. NOTE: The video starts with a bit of an excessive black screen but its there.
The other 2 shinies from the 3 in 1 day are mentioned at the end of the video but will be getting uploaded at a later date once I can reclaim them.
