My final team member, shiny Cramorant! I initially started this hunt on Route 9 where it's a 40% target with Pincurchin, Octillery & Kingler. I had absolutely no idea you could find it in the same area as Cufant though with Storm Drain to make it 50% in rainy weather. I did 1,800 there and the rest here.
I can't express how much I adore this Pokémon. I know I say this a lot but it might be my favourite of this Gen. It's so difficult to decide on what actually comes out on top so I guess I should reserve judgement until I beat the game.
Sorry for the few cuts in the video btw. I keep getting interrupted because my brother wants to see which shiny I've found.
Thanks for watching as always!

I fished up two shiny Magikarp during my Feebas hunt in Ruby and decided to simply put them in the same video. Theyre not the most amazing or interesting shinies in the world obviously but I dont have a live one in 3rd Generation so why not upload them. Plus, the Colosseum showcase!
I found a random Magikarp while looking for my Feebas tile when I was a kid so this hunt and find was quite nostalgic for me honestly. I love how they look in Colosseum too!

Really happy with this one. I had a feeling this would be a decently fast hunt as the previous hunt on this roamer as Roamer Moltres over double odds. This is something Ive been planning to do since the start of the year. I did Seviper in January and has been waiting for a free system to try for Zangoose.
I like the contrast to the normal sprite a lot. The red claws and the blue stripes are so vibrant. I found one when phasing for Inkay a long time back and had been keen on finding an 8192 one as a full odds reclaim.
These dual-slot insertion hunts are always great.

![[LIVE] Shiny Roaming Raikou after 3,805 seen in HeartGold](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Hi2rzQAnrY8/mqdefault.jpg "[LIVE] Shiny Roaming Raikou after 3,805 seen in HeartGold
Shiny Raikou without any duplicate Entei. I thought for sure Id get at least one duplicate with my general phase luck but apparently not. Im so, so happy with this. Its one of my all time favourite Pokémon. I love the Saber Tooth tiger design. Its for sure my favourite Legendary Beast.
I was only checking the Raikou when possible so I dont know how many soft resets this took, just the amount of roamers seen.
This is my fourth shiny Roamer now on my Roamer quest. If youd like to follow my journey to get every shiny roamer check out my Google doc spreadsheet here;
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sdLTuljrKCKBkT_C9vmSthkp5KKl3G3BiYFtJELtGK4/edit#gid=0
Ill probably be doing either a Gen 2 Roamer or another Bird roamer in Platinum before going for Cresselia next year. I havent quite decided yet so well see.

![[LIVE] Shiny Cranidos after 12,063 fossils restored + Evolution](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ht-5zSfxwMg/mqdefault.jpg "[LIVE] Shiny Cranidos after 12,063 fossils restored + Evolution
He took a while but my Shiny Cranidos finally appeared after 12,063 fossils restored. People were very kind to me during this hunt and gave me plenty of fossils to restore per restore. I was using 30 fossils per reset which absolutely made this hunt easier. It was almost impossible to hunt this with anything else though due to the constant back and forth in the building. A little annoying but very much worth it.
Next up is Bronzor which Im already hunting. Hopefully that doesnt go over odds.

Shiny Wimpod finally appeared after going four times over odds. I was actually watching a few videos where people went 16k+ for it and I thought mine would never go that high. I also said to someone I need a quick hunt to hunt next to roamers. Never say that, lol.
Im really happy this shined. Its such a vibrant shiny and I love the evolution a lot. The abilities are a bit hindering but its a very powerful Bug type which is one of my favourite types.
On to Alolan Sandshrew to complete my team before taking on the League. Thanks for watching!

2 Shiny Zigzagoon after a quick number of encounters! I found one during the first phase of my Shroomish hunt and then another recently while hunting Taillow. I know Zigzagoon isnt the most exciting shiny in the wild but it was something I didnt have a live video of on my channel. I decided to combine these two just for archiving my shinies here.
I actually really like the Zigzagoon line. Its a nice shiny, it has Pickup & they can be shiny HM users which is always useful.

![[LIVE] Shiny Shadow Croconaw after 16,620 Soft Resets in Pokemon Colosseum!](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/JiZwLBphI3k/mqdefault.jpg "[LIVE] Shiny Shadow Croconaw after 16,620 Soft Resets in Pokemon Colosseum!
My first Shadow Shiny took a while but I’m so glad I opted for this hunt. I can honestly say that of all the shinies I currently own, this is comfortably one of the proudest achievements. Pokemon Colosseum is such an underrated game that seems to finally be getting some attention not just from shiny hunters, but in general.
This hunt was tedious. There was a lot of RNG involved. Critical hitting the Croc, Grimer poisoning my Pokemon that have Synchronize, not catching it first ball. The most Balls it took if I remember right was 8 which was a super long reset but that really wasn’t anything close to normal 1-3 was usually the range.
Croconaw doesn’t have the best shiny sadly but wow the evolution does. I’m so, so happy with this hunt and the fact I get to bring you yet another live Shiny Shadow Pokemon. Let me know if you’d like to see more of these in the future.
Thanks for watching as always!
