This actually looked a lot better in person than I was anticipating. This shiny is known for having a big glow up in Gen 4 but honestly, it looked better than I thought it would. This was the 2nd to last 5% I needed that can't be repel tricked. Along with Pineco, I thought I would stay in Safari until I catch at least one. The coming weeks however gave me a BIG surprise...

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!

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!

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!

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.
