Truly one of the best shinies out there. Long term subscribers will know that I have one already in Gen 4 but there is no such thing as too many Shiny Ariados.
I noticed a distinct lack of Gen 5 Swarm videos on Youtube. It's a real shame because there are something special. A lot of very unique and interesting targets. I decided to set up a few games as my side hunts while hunting Cyndaquil in Silver. I had some very good luck over 2-3 days.
This Ariados came 28 minutes after my Shiny Nidorina in SoulSilver which only took 58 encounters!
If you'd like to see more Swarm videos, let me know!
Thanks for watching!

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!

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!

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;
