Shiny Roaming Suicune after only 1,119 seen. Absolutely crazy. My luck has done a complete 180 since last month when I went almost 50k without seeing a shiny. Manaphy, Articuno & now Suicune in quick succession. I really hope I can carry on with some good luck to finish 2020 off because my luck has been junk this year overall.
This sprite is gorgeous. It genuinely looks like an Ice-type when shiny in this generation. The sprite difference from Crystal is subtle but I really like how it looks in Gold/Silver. Very beautiful shiny. This is Roamer number 14 for my Roamer Quest, with only three left to obtain at this point.

There is a lot to say about this hunt. I was as brief as possible without missing out on key details in my intro but if you want to more about this hunt or Gen 2 Roamers in particular, please see the following links.

I found the write-up a lot easier to follow but that's just personal preference. I prefer things in black and white text.
Massive credit goes to Hangar and Rich for their work on this. I've been in the shiny hunting community for almost 8 years now and I've never seen so much time & effort into one specific hunt. As I said in the video, it's not research, it's scripture. In particular a special thanks to Rich for explaining all of this to me like I'm 5, I needed it.

I think I'm going to jump right into Raikou and try and finish the Gen 2 Roamers off before finishing up with the Lati twins in Ruby and Sapphire. I still need to finish the Elite 4 video for my Ruby Dream Team Quest too.
If you have any questions, I'd advise commenting on Hangar's video but I can try to explain as much as possible.

![[LIVE] Shiny Roaming Articuno after 2,014 SRs in Platinum - Trio completed](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nqfel6GtAIw/mqdefault.jpg "[LIVE] Shiny Roaming Articuno after 2,014 SRs in Platinum - Trio completed
Shiny Roaming Articuno after a decently quick 2,014 SRs in Platinum to complete the trio. I started my Roamer Quest with Zapdos so I had initially planned to hunt Articuno as the last but I just felt compelled to hunt it recently. Seeing the trio left unfinished for so long just spurred me on to finish them. Its a beautiful shiny, bright ice white with an amazing sprite in Platinum. I really love Platinum so to complete this trio is really amazing. I was memorised when they were roamers in my initial playthrough and I knew that someday Id want to hunt them.
The Legendary Birds are some of my favourite Pokemon and Articuno to me is the prime example of a shiny not needing a drastic change to be a beautiful shiny. Id love to hunt this in both Gen 2 & 3 one day too so I can admire the sprite differences.
Roamer #12 obtained which is incredible. I still cant believe I only have 5 left as of making this video. Im not sure whats next as I need to repair a HDMI adapter for my Gamecube so Gen 2 perhaps if I get it back in time. Who knows.
Thank you for watching as always!

My good luck came to an abrupt and long-winded end but I finally got my shiny Lileep after 34,722 SRs for my Ruby Dream Team Quest. The green is super vibrant and this is for sure one of my favourite Pokemon ever so Im so happy he finally shined. It looks great in Pokemon Colosseum/XD Gale of Darkness too!
I really dont have the best Fossil luck, at all. My average for three Fossil hunts is 31,000 resets which is just... wow. I really need to stop saying I dont like summary screen hunts because it always curses me.
I really hope you enjoy the video. Best of luck on all of your hunts!

![[LIVE] Shiny Wingull after 6,720 surfing encounters in Sapphire (Water Monotype #2)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/oI_uKnfPams/mqdefault.jpg "[LIVE] Shiny Wingull after 6,720 surfing encounters in Sapphire (Water Monotype #2)
The second member of my Water monotype challenge of Sapphire shines after 6,720 REs! Shiny Peecko joins Mudkip in being underodds. Every hunt on this file has so far been underodds so long may that continue please.
I found a shiny Wingull in Platinum a number of years ago so its nice to have one in its original generation. I was quite surprised how much the colour of the body stood out to me more than the green. I went into this hunt fully focused on the green wings though that wasnt what caught my eye.
A really cute shiny and a classic Hoenn Pokemon added to my collection.
Onwards to the next target!

Shiny Shadow Mareep after 23,288 SRs! I cant buy an under odds Colosseum hunt or even one close to odds at the moment. I genuinely thought I was doing this hunt wrong at one point.
Mareep is such a classic shiny isnt it? The pink is super vibrant in Colosseum and I think this was a really unique and interesting way to hunt it. Here is hoping I get an underodds Colosseum hunt soon enough!
The IVs are all 0, the nature is set to Mild.

An exceptionally amazing hunt, I highly recommend this one. If Im being honest, this hunt alone sparked this quest idea entirely. Ive had this hunt on my to do list for a long, long time. The first time you visit the mountain, Bianca will team up with you to give you double encounters. You can also do this with Cheren in Pinwheel Forest for some amazing targets in the post-game.
Excadrill is one of my all-time favourite Pokemon. I love the shiny too. Delighted to add this to the quest. Its a fun one because youre able to only use Exploring Power 3 and not Lucky Power 2 as Excadrill is 100%. You dont reset as often to keep your Pass Orbs.
I highly recommend you try this if you fancy going for a Pass Power Pokemon. The only annoying thing is the Shards but it cant be helped.

![[LIVE] Shiny Camerupt after 5,025 REs in Pearl](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/poQHGE7S-ZU/mqdefault.jpg "[LIVE] Shiny Camerupt after 5,025 REs in Pearl
Stark Mountain comes through for me on Phase 2. What a beauty. I love this shiny and it was one of several things here I really wanted. Can’t remember the last time I saw a Camerupt in Gen IV in the wild actually, full odds at least. I would have been content with Rhydon, Weezing, Magby, any of the 1% stuff or this and I got this!
I love the back and sunken look of this shiny a lot. I used one on my team in Hoenn once so it’s a nostalgic Pokemon to me. I think these late game Sinnoh routes are super underrated and under hunted. I have a plethora of targets I’d like to snag here so I’ll be returning to these late game routes sooner rather than later.
Thanks for watching as always. See you soon with another shiny!
