The first member of my Ruby Dream Team has appeared after two uncatchable Pooches! I'm honestly shocked that it has taken me this long to both hunt and find my favourite starter from the entire series. I love the blue-ish green look of the shiny & the red tail really show in this generation. I couldn't be happier honestly.
Ruby is one of my favourite games in the series and as I say in the video, I have a shockingly low amount of Hoenn Pokémon in their respective games so it's about time I correct that starting with this beautiful Treecko.
I hope you're excited as much as I am to see this team come together.
Thank you for watching as always!

The second of my Legendary Titan trio appears after an extremely short hunt, which is new for me lately! Really happy with this shiny, its personally my 2nd favourite after Registeel. If youre wondering how I got this event Regigigas, I have the event cartridge which you can see showcased in the Regirock video;

2nd of the Kanto trio shines much quicker than the first (Charmander). I was terrified during this hunt that I wouldnt notice the shiny when it appeared but I noticed it straight away. It looks super different. I love this line a lot and Ill eventually be getting one in FireRed/LeafGreen but I love Island Scanning for these to get them in unique Pokéballs.
Next up is probably Alolan Sandshrew I think but well see. Thanks for watching as always.

Shiny Lapras appears very quickly for me as my 2nd team member for my Dream Team Quest. Always really liked this shiny and I got a great nature for it too. I was initially planning to hunt this in Gen III but I much prefer it in 4th Gen after having watched other videos on it. Love the purple on it and its walking sprite behind me is just incredible.
Next up is Steelix, at Cliff Cave. Hopefully its another fast but if not, its a 100% repel trick so it doesnt matter how long it takes. Really keen to get this quest done this year so I can hunt the roaming Latios/Latias in Kanto.
Thanks for watching as always, Ill see you in the next video!

Shiny Dratini appears just shy of 10,000 seen for my FireRed Dream Team member #4! I had a decent feeling this would be a kind hunt after Eevee took 25,000. Considering this was a 3 in 1 reset hunt, I dont think it was all that bad plus I streamed this hunt exclusively too which always helps pass the time quicker.
This line is a popular shiny hunt for obvious reasons. Its a classic Kanto Pokemon that is a very nice shiny and the ways you hunt it in Gen 3 and 4, in particular, are very easy. Id love to try for one in Platinum one day, who knows.
Next up is Omanyte though Im considering Shelder out of order but I dont know yet. Well see.

![[LIVE] Shiny Manaphy after 1,395 eggs hatched in Diamond (Pokemon Ranger)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/RcCcTnxNfyc/mqdefault.jpg "[LIVE] Shiny Manaphy after 1,395 eggs hatched in Diamond (Pokemon Ranger)
Completely lost for words even still. Shiny Manaphy after a mere 1,395 eggs hatched. It feels surreal to be uploading this video and typing this description out. The shiny of all shinies honestly. Its such a beautiful, elegant colour as well. I really, really did not think it was going to shine so quickly.
Theres a lot to say in this description. I want to start by saying a massive thanks to both Cyal (TheUnderdog2020) & Mark (ShinyHunterSandslash). Weve all talked a lot about this hunt for a number of years and even though Im the final one to get it, I need to acknowledge the motivation that kept us going. Youre legends, lads.
Sub to Mark please; https://www.youtube.com/c/ShinyHunterSandslash
Secondly, this hunt was not fun to prepare. In total, I played through 12 copies of Pokemon Ranger and received 8 eggs. It wasnt until we discovered the Ranger Net trick when I was on my 5th playthrough. Shoutout to Cyal for spotting that. I found some cheap copies of Ranger on Ebay, game stores and charity shops. Ive since sold them for roughly the same prize but I NEVER want to play through Ranger again. Awful game lol.
Thirdly, this method was super interesting and it stemmed from the idea that if you could reduce the idle time a system has so its preparing a save file or preparing to receive eggs, it would be better over time. I truly believe this is the fastest way to hunt this provided youre able to get the resources. It was an enjoyable hunt that required a lot of attention and if youre genuinely interested in trying this hunt for yourself, please try it. Id love to hear your thoughts.
Also you may note that the date is different (I found it on the 9th). Well due to how RNG works in Gen 4 (and 5 I think) when I was playing two systems at once, on the same date, at the same time, I was hitting the same frame a few times when producing a new save file. I would get the same Trainer ID (and secret ID) across two different games. To counter this, Matt/AbsolBlogsPokemon suggested I have each system on different dates to ensure I wasnt getting save files which were clones of each other. It worked, thanks Matt.
Lastly, I have included an unedited version of the encounter to show legitimacy. There is a detailed explanation as to why I feel its necessary in this case to avoid any claims of hacking/falsehood. If you have any questions, please let me know and Ill do my best to provide you with reassurance provided youre polite or civil.
In order to this method, youll need 4 copies of Diamond and Pearl (collective), 8 Ranger eggs, 4 systems. I dont wish to claim this as the best method. Best is arbitrary. You may find it more comfortable to hunt using 1 egg or 4 eggs, who knows. Do what you think is best.

The second phase for Shiny Shellder ends with a Shiny Horsea. I was hoping for one of these as I don’t have one yet & its a really nice shiny! Kingdra is a very nostalgic Pokemon as I grew up playing Gen 2. I mentioned in the video that I’d love to get one in Gen 2 someday and I fully intend to.
I’m already close to odds for Shellder on phase 3 so here’s hoping this hunt will end soon.
Thanks for watching as always!
