![[LIVE] Shiny Roaming Entei after 3,143 SRs in FireRed @Sonikks](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/UienjWGXWPQ/maxresdefault.jpg)
Uploaded August 2019 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago
My third and final FireRed/LeafGreen Roaming Legendary Beast shined rather quickly much like Raikou after “only” 3,134 soft resets. I actually had a feeling it would be a quick one as I went to double odds (16,000+) for Moltres in Platinum for my previous roamer.
To say that I own all three Roaming Shiny Beasts in 3rd Gen is absolutely surreal. I still can’t believe it fully even though I’ve finished editing the video as of writing this. It’s insane. Suicune really tested me going over double odds but I’m so glad I persisted with this project. This is my 7th shiny Roamer in total. I think next up will be Roaming Latias in HeartGold.
Entei in 3rd Gen didn’t really grab me at first but seeing it shiny on my DS screen like that was something I’ll never forget. I really, really like the colouring. It’s nice in 4th Gen but it’s not as nice as this one in my opinion. The added bonus of showing it in Colosseum was also really great too as it looks unique in the 3D models.
The only annoying thing about this video is I had to, unfortunately, use an R4 cart to take the Entei from LeafGreen (not shiny) to determine the location of the shiny in FireRed. My link cable stopped working a while back and I just never got around to replacing it. I back up my saves anyway for safety so there's absolutely no issue in doing this.
Thank you for coming on this journey of completing this elusive trio in this generation with me. Suicune and Raikou are among my most viewed and commented upon videos. I’ll be putting together a guide which demonstrates the mechanics and techniques showcased in these videos so you can understand or even hunt your own Roaming Beast.
Thank you for watching as always. Best of luck on all of your hunts and see you in the next video.

![[LIVE] Shiny Mantine after 8,298 REs in LeafGreen [Repel trick]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/V1fb_-8u92k/mqdefault.jpg "[LIVE] Shiny Mantine after 8,298 REs in LeafGreen [Repel trick]
In my opinion, this is one of the most underrated shinies in the series. Mantine is quite rare in its normal form, nevermind its shiny form. Its a maximum 10% in Gen 2 and 4 and in Gen 5 its still 10-20%. Im so happy to have this in my collection. Managed to avoid the duplicate Tentacruel too!
This is a slow repel trick, I wont lie to you. If you do this be prepared to get frustrated at times. Its so worth it though.
Thank you so much for watching and good luck on all of your hunts!

An incredibly rare shiny in Gen 3 despite being 100% in most places, Shiny Barboach after yet another under odds hunt in this file. This is an extremely underrated shiny in my opinion & Whiscash is really nice. Ive used this line on a playthrough before and theyre quite useful. Yet another rare Gen 3 shiny added to my collection.
The Super Rod mechanics are the main reason why this is quite under hunted but like with most hunts, you do get used to it. Once I found something to watch alongside this hunt, it really wasnt too bad at all. Ive got Carvanha and Corphish hunt next though so ask me again in another month or two whether I feel the same.
Thanks for watching as always!

The quickest hunt of this quest so far after only 2,530 random encounters, Cubchoo becomes the 4th member of my White Dream Team. I really like this shiny and its not something you see too often. Cubchoo is adorable.
I decided to move from Route 7 to Twist Mountain and do this slow repel trick and Im very glad I decided to do just that. I would have gladly taken a Cryogonal but Im glad I didnt have to phase to be honest. This repel trick was kinda slow at about 125 an hour which is down from Gen Vs usual 150-175 an hour average (albeit I was in a cave too).
Im making great progress on this quest and its nearing the end already, crazy. Litwick is up next, backtracking to Celestial Tower.
Thanks for watching as always!
I actually got this on stream too which is my first stream shiny in a long, long time. If youd be interesting in following and watching live, feel free to join.

This prehistoric bird finally decided to shine after around two months of hunting. I kept putting this off because I wanted to clear my list before I started really pushing forward with this quest.
When I was younger I really wanted to be a palaeontologist so Pokémon based on dinosaurs or prehistoric animals have always interested me. While its hindering ability is annoying, Archen/Archeops have near-legendary stats much like the Slaking line.
I was also surprised how few videos there are for this shiny. Very few people seem to hunt it. I really like the contrast of yellow and green on it & it stands out amazingly on a DSi XL.
Next up is Joltik but Im not sure when Ill get around to hunting that so subscribe if youre not already and Ill see you in the next video.

My third Kanto starter via Island Scan was another long one but at least it was 100%. It surprised me so much. Really happy this has been completed as it was taking a while. Fortunately its 100%, the only 100% repel trick in 7th Gen I believe which is unique in a sense.
Im not sure what I want to do with this save now. Probably some Ultra Beasts but not for a while.

I managed to avoid a Zubat for the longest time in 3rd Gen but I finally found one. The inevitable was just inevitable. Its actually quite a nice shiny in my opinion and Ive always been a fan of Crobat since I was a kid. I took the opportunity show it off in Colosseum too as I will make a habit of doing for all of my 3rd Gen found shinies.
A few years ago I bought a 2nd hand copy of Japanese Ruby which had a Golbat found in Shoal Cave on. The previous trainer had quite clearly transferred everything off the file except that Golbat. Poor Golbat, just so unloved. He now sits in my Emerald version in my shiny box and he is just as appreciated as my own shinies.

Super late, but she finally arrived. My secondary target for Safari Week 2019 was Lotad after snagging Carnivine. Initially, I started the hunt on SoulSilver but when Moltres shined, I switched my other system to HeartGold and double hunted for my target. Its such a pretty shiny. Hoenn shinies in 4th Gen have a really nice colour in their shiny forms in my opinion.
I never really had a chance to use Lotad in a playthrough before as I had Ruby when growing up. My brother had Sapphire and found a shiny Lombre randomly during his playthrough. Ive always wanted to own my own of this line since.
Thanks for watching, sorry its super late for this years Safari Week.
Best of luck on your hunts!
