Shiny Chikorita becomes my 116th shiny for my Gen 3 living dex - This is a really interesting way to hunt and one that I cover in more detail here: youtu.be/vHNhpqrTN-4?si=gzrivEX_FYp2Lcm7
Super happy with this one and one of the coolest hunts Emerald has to offer. A decently quick hunt and a really beautiful shiny. Chikorita has a stunning colouration in most games but I think it really pops in Gen 3 with the small sprite. Really happy to have this in the collection.
Thanks for watching as always!

Gen 1 Shiny Zapdos appears after a super quick hunt. Only 665 resets for the first of the trio. Gen 2 Zapdos is super vibrant and changes a lot more than in later Gens.
This was on my childhood copy of Yellow too which is always amazing to use for shiny hunting. This game was what got me into Pokemon, period.
Ill probably hunt the other two Legendary Birds at a later point this year.
Thanks for watching!")

Ho-Oh is a gorgeous shiny in both 2nd Gen and 4th Gen. If Im being brutally honest I prefer it more in 4th Gen but I wanted to complete the duo in the same generation and I may even hunt another in HeartGold some day, who knows! I really like the red in this game though!
I cant believe this shined so quickly. I very rarely get shinies this fast so its a welcome change. My luck has been awful this year minus a few exceptions but we do what we do to find shinies! Sorry if my commentary isnt top-notch in this video. I really struggle to comprehensively put together a good video when something amazing happens like this, my brain just caves in on itself.
Hunting Deino for my White Dream Team so fingers crossed it doesnt take too long. Thanks for watching as always and good luck on your hunts!

![[LIVE] Shiny Snivy after 19,524 SRs in White [DTQ #1]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EqqG0XIBtfM/mqdefault.jpg "[LIVE] Shiny Snivy after 19,524 SRs in White [DTQ #1]
My first shiny in a few months due to a mini-hiatus. I’ve been super busy with work in the past couple of months so hunting grinded to essentially a stand still. I’m back now though I can’t hunt as much as I used to sadly. Shiny Snivy appears and I love it. I really like this line a lot and I can’t wait to have it fully evolved. This is the first of my Gen V DTQ with Archen coming up next.
Few things in the video;
A) I think the nature is bad for it, based on its move set. Stats wise it’s not but moves wise it is.
B) Ignore the time on the DS. This DS is linked to my HG/SS Safari Zone so I can’t change it otherwise I’ll lose the days tallied up. It really was 4am when I got this shiny, the things you do when you can’t sleep and have work at 5am.
C) Sorry if the microphone is poor quality or you can’t hear me in places very well. I couldn’t take my Blue Yeti with me on campus so had to rely on a headset microphone which isn’t what I use usually (and I have a cold). I messed around in editing to make things a little clearer in places. Sorry about that!
Good luck on your hunts, thanks for watching.
