Shiny Feebas in its original generation, the best kind of Feebas. I can't tell you how surreal it feels to have this shiny in my collection. Pretty crazy how well this DTQ progressed, to be honest, I can't believe it's over. It's a proud yet sad moment as always when you complete a quest. I ended it with a challenging hunt that I'm proud of.
Feebas is regarded as one of the most difficult hunts in the series, never mind in Ruby/Sapphire but I'm here to pour water on that fire. It's nowhere near as bad as what people suggest. I think a lot of misinformation leads to the theory it's as bad as what some people think so hopefully this video is a little down to earth reminder if you decide to hunt it yourself. I really hope others do as it's quite a nice relaxing hunt. This was specifically quite nice to stream too over on Twitch.
There's a common misconception that certain natured Feebas cannot evolve in 3rd and 4th Gen. This is completely false as you will see here; youtube.com/watch?v=ojl7Bjcm4zw This video shows an Impish natured Feebas, one of those claimed to be unable to evolve, actually evolve. It's all about the Berries.
Certain natured Feebas are more difficult to evolve if they dislike Dry Pokeblocks but simply using a Pamtre Berry for your PokeBlocks will make ANY Feebas evolve. Let's stamp out this decade old myth once and for all.
Let me know if you have any questions regarding the Feebas mechanics.
Thanks for watching as always!

![[LIVE] Shiny Graveler after 1,675 REs in Pearl](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/AhnmajY0IX0/mqdefault.jpg "[LIVE] Shiny Graveler after 1,675 REs in Pearl
Fun fact, a Graveler was my 4th full odds shiny that I actually hunted way back in the days of not live recording. Not the most inspired of shinies nor videos you’ll ever watch but hey, it’s still a shiny. Glad I got one live at least.
This was a side hunt which appeared rather quickly in Pearl. I love these late game Sinnoh areas a lot, they’re very underhunted. I’d love to get that Magby some day so I’m going to do a few phases here and see what shinies. Besides the Graveler, I don’t have any of these targets live currently neither. This was a hunt I was doing on my spare system next to the Platinum Bird Roamers. Hopefully they’re next!
Thanks for watching as always. Good luck on your hunts!

![[LIVE] Shiny Jynx after 4,203 REs in Platinum (Repel trick) + 4 Shiny Sneasels](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/BA1ehL6qlo4/mqdefault.jpg "[LIVE] Shiny Jynx after 4,203 REs in Platinum (Repel trick) + 4 Shiny Sneasels
Shiny Jynx finally appears after 4203 random encounters on the 6th phase. I can safely say I have never been more relieved that a hunt is over than this. Dont get me wrong, it was worth it but man it tested me at times. I had two super long phases and I was only single hunting this. At most I could do probably 600 a day if I really pushed myself but that was rare.
I made it my goal to try and finish this before New Year and Ive only gone and done it. To date, this is one of the most valuable shinies for me just for the sheer willpower needed to finish this hunt.
If youre interested in this hunt, as it is the best way to hunt Jynx in the wild in terms of encounter rate, its 43% with a level 51 repel trick in Platinums Snowpoint Temple (Not available in Diamond or Pearl). Its very slow so dont make it your primary hunt is my advice.
Thank you as always for the support and patience on this hunt. Hopefully Ill be back very soon with another hunt for you all.
Cya!

![[LIVE] Shiny Gen 1 Zapdos in Yellow after only 665 soft resets (+ Stadium 2 showcase)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/BKtG50mq43g/mqdefault.jpg "[LIVE] Shiny Gen 1 Zapdos in Yellow after only 665 soft resets (+ Stadium 2 showcase)
Gen 1 Shiny Zapdos appears after a super quick hunt. Only 665 resets for the first of the trio. Gen 2 Zapdos is super vibrant and changes a lot more than in later Gens.
This was on my childhood copy of Yellow too which is always amazing to use for shiny hunting. This game was what got me into Pokemon, period.
Ill probably hunt the other two Legendary Birds at a later point this year.
Thanks for watching!")
![[LIVE] Shiny Ho-Oh after only 778 SRs in Gold VC](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/D-fx__L94xE/mqdefault.jpg "[LIVE] Shiny Ho-Oh after only 778 SRs in Gold VC
Ho-Oh is a gorgeous shiny in both 2nd Gen and 4th Gen. If Im being brutally honest I prefer it more in 4th Gen but I wanted to complete the duo in the same generation and I may even hunt another in HeartGold some day, who knows! I really like the red in this game though!
I cant believe this shined so quickly. I very rarely get shinies this fast so its a welcome change. My luck has been awful this year minus a few exceptions but we do what we do to find shinies! Sorry if my commentary isnt top-notch in this video. I really struggle to comprehensively put together a good video when something amazing happens like this, my brain just caves in on itself.
Hunting Deino for my White Dream Team so fingers crossed it doesnt take too long. Thanks for watching as always and good luck on your hunts!
