A shiny I never thought I'd get legitimately - Shiny Jirachi from the US Colosseum Bonus Disc!!! This is easily in my top 5 shinies found, easily. I'm so happy to add this to my collection. I love the pink hue on the body, it looks incredible.
There was always a lot of doubt about whether this could be hunted or not. I feel like we've made a lot of progress in recent years as to what is attainable and who knows what else there is to discover. I've had this bonus disc for the best part of a decade now and I have used Jirachi several times in casual playthroughs. It's very broken but very fun. This shiny is #1 for my new Ruby Dream Team Quest.
I'm sure there will be a lot of questions about this method. So feel free to comment on my video or The Domination's videos for assistance.
I initially started this hunt with the standard method of playing through the game and getting the dex. I did around 500 encounters with it but being honest, it was like pulling teeth. I only single hunt my targets so I wanted to try the faster method. I also wanted to avoid an uncatchable as I can't stand the concept of uncatchable shinies. There's a chance of a random shiny starter I guess but I'd much rather avoid the uncatchable.
Massive thank you to The domiNATION & Tenpers UP for their videos. Really appreciate the video and guide. Please consider subscribing to fellow shiny hunters!

![[LIVE] Shiny Torchic after 13,668 SRs in Sapphire (DTQ #1)
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!
Thanks for watching as always!

![[LIVE] Shiny Swablu after 2,469 REs in Ruby (DTQ #3)
Number three already, making amazing progress. I love this shiny so much and its so vibrant in 3rd Gen. I mention in the video but this is also something Ive wanted shiny since I was a kid playing this game for the first time as I used it then. Altaria will make a very valuable member of my team for sure.
Honestly, I really felt like this area was going to make me phase plenty for this target but apparently not. I fully expected to do 2-3 phases. Some good phase luck to start the year off.
Trapinch is up next in the desert!
Thanks for watching as always!

![[LIVE] 3 Shiny Spheal and 4 Shiny Slowbro after a collective 83,823 REs in HG/SSs Safari Zone
It happened finally, after a collective 83,823 encounters I got my pink Spheal. I cannot express how annoying this hunt has been. It’s a nightmare to constantly phase and I certainly won’t be underestimating 255 catch rate Safari Zone Pokemon ever again. The end result is so worth the pain though.
Phase 1 – Slowbro – 6436 REs
Phase 2 – Slowbro – 2815 REs
Phase 3 – Slowbro – 3307 REs
Phase 4 – Slowbro – 7737 REs
Phase 5 – Spheal – 2788
Phase 6 – Spheal – 35,526 REs
Phase 7 – Slowbro – 11,250 REs
Phase 8 – Slowbro – 1806 REs
Phase 9 – Spheal – 12,158 REs
Thank you so much for watching, hope you enjoyed the video and you enjoyed Safari Week 2018.
See you in the next video!

![[LIVE] Shiny Treecko after 10,433 SRs in Ruby (DTQ #1)
The first member of my Ruby Dream Team has appeared after two uncatchable Pooches! Im 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 couldnt 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 its about time I correct that starting with this beautiful Treecko.
I hope youre excited as much as I am to see this team come together.
Thank you for watching as always!

![[LIVE] Shiny Regice after 1,154 SRs in Platinum
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;

![[LIVE] Shiny Squirtle after 1,805 REs in Ultra Moon via Island Scan [Full odds]
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.
