What a week. I had a very ambitious goal of catching at least one of the rares in the Hoenn Safari this Safari Week but I did not expect to see two, nevermind catch them both!
I really wanted to get at least Snubbull, Pineco or Hoothoot this year. They're incredibly rare in Gen 3 and to get one of them out of the way for my living dex is huge. I made substantial progress this week, crossing the 100 barrier out of 386 for my dex.

Sorry it's been so long since my last upload but I have a ton of videos to upload now. I had the mother of all droughts but I have been working on part 1 of my Gen 3 Living Dex video. Hopefully that should be out fairly soon.
Thank you to Matt! @AbsolBlogsPokemon as always for hosting the event.

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.

My 2nd team member pops up a little under odds, Shiny Wurmple! Pretty happy with this one as I did use a Dustox on my original Pearl save file back in the day. A little throwback to Gen 4.
Eterna Forest is genuinely busted in these games. The encounters are fast enough with Sweet Scent/Honey but the 1/4096 plus the 2 Pokemon seen per encounter, it makes for a very easy and comfortable hunt for anyone. Id genuinely recommend this area if youre new to shiny hunting & you want to sample full odds.
Next up is Cranidos which Im already hunting. Good luck to all of you hunting!

An under odds Colosseum hunt at last. Golden Scizor is mine. This model is incredible. I really wish they had made this its main series colours because its a big improvement on the lime green they gave it. This completes the additional Shadow Trio using the e-Reader cards in Togepi, Mareep & Scizor. Ive had these e-Reader cards for quite some time so to finally hunt these and complete them is great.
Ive since transferred it to Emerald and new save files made ready for my next targets in one of my favourite games.

An under odds fossil at last! Shiny Omanyte joins my Dream Team and is the 5th member. My fossil luck up to now hasnt been the best so this was a welcome change of pace. I really like Omastar but as I mentioned in the video, I dont have a lot of opportunities to use it. It was very low levelled in the original Kanto games so I think FireRed/LeafGreen is a good balance as I can get it as early as 3 badges in. It looks super cute in Colosseum too.
Up next to Shellder which Im excited for though I wont be hunting that for a little bit.

The start of my Sapphire Dream Team Quest! I love Torchic, its always been one of those Pokemon that Ive been a bit disappointed to evolve but Im a big fan of Shiny Blaziken. I love shinies that dont tend to have drastic changes and I feel like Blaziken is a bit unloved by the shiny hunting community for that reason. Its an amazing Pokemon, lets be real here. The original Fire/Fighting is king!
I decided to start this hunt as I have a feeling this is going to be quite a phase heavy quest. A lot of tough hunts like Ralts and Shroomish but I am more than determined to get this quest rolling like my Ruby quest!
