The Battle Frontier is a colossal undertaking for anyone but I want to go one further and take it on with a team of full odds shinies. Shiny Beldum is the first member of my team after a whopping 30,180 soft resets. I used the Battle Video method for this hunt which is explained in the intro but it allowed me to continuously progress through new frames until I hit a shiny frame. I didn't think it would take that long!
The obvious point to note is yes, obviously this is an easier hunt in Ruby and Sapphire with a working battery but I personally like to hunt things on the save file they're going to be used on. It's just a preference. Steven Stone's Beldum passed to me (Steve) in my childhood copy of Emerald. Pretty cool if I say so myself.
If you need more help with the method used (and yes, it's full odds), please don't hesitate to ask me. Massive thank you to Oakley aka MrLetsPlayIt who is absolute legend in terms of Gen 3 hunting specifically. Please check his videos out and tell him I sent you!

This is doing to be a very difficult challenge but one that I'm determined to pull off. I should have this quest ongoing fairly soon but I just need to finish some other things before I continue.
Thank you for watching as always!

![[LIVE] Shiny Aron after 5,353 REs in Ruby (DTQ #2)
The second member of my Dream Team Quest appears on the 2nd phase, how fitting. I really like this shiny and had originally planned to hunt this in HeartGolds Safari Zone for Safari Week 2019. Im glad I held off doing so because playing through Hoenn with this guy has made me appreciate this Pokemon so much more. Very glad to have avoided another phase and another Zubat which was the 1st shiny to appear here. Im usually cursed with 40% targets so its a welcome change!
Very much enjoying this playful and happy to have added this guy to my team. Thanks for watching as always!

![[LIVE] Shiny Sizzlipede after 1,813 encounters in Pokemon Sword (Full odds)
My favourite Galarian Pokémon has been found! Shiny Sizzlipede, much like Galarian Farftech’d doesn’t have the best shiny but the evolution is… wow. I love the design, how imposing it looks and the shiny is subtly great too. I really can’t wait to carry on my adventure through Galar with this shiny.
For those of you who don’t know, the abilities Flash Fire, Storm Drain and Harvest increase the chance of finding a Fire, Water and Grass type respectively in random encounters. Identical to Static and Magnet Pull from previous generations. I love this feature and honestly believe this is a long, long overdue inclusion. It has taken us five generations to get new overworld impacting abilities like that.
Sorry for the intro needing to be remade with a new video. No matter how many times I tried to import it to Premiere Pro, it would say “file incomplete”. I wanted to keep the format of my videos correct so remade the intro, but the audio is original from before the hunt started. Sorry about that!

![[LIVE] Shiny Popplio after 2,468 SRs in Ultra Sun [full odds + trio complete!]
My third and final Alolan starter shines a lot sooner than I was expecting. All three have come under odds, wow. I have a few hunts left I want to do in Gen 7 so I really wanted to get this one as soon as possible. This was left over from my Litten hunt over a year ago as of uploading this today now so it took around 1200 more after having stopped Popplio back then. I honestly thought this was going to take a while to appear but my luck has been pretty decent lately I guess.
I still can’t believe it, shocked. It looks so good. It’s again one of those Pokemon you think you’re going to potentially miss when hunting it but it’s very, very different. It looks so good! I love all of the starters in this Gen and Popplio might actually be my favourite.
I’ve had some really good luck lately but it’s back to roamers for me. Still going it at HeartGold for Raikou. See you guys in the next video !

![[LIVE] Shiny Tyrogue after 4,742 SRs in HeartGold (DTQ #5)
Hitmontop is my favourite Fighting type & Tyrogue is not often hunted in these games so it made sense to add this hunt to my Dream Team file. Im not the biggest fan of summary screen hunts as I like to see the sparkles in the encounters but thats not always possible in the generations I want to get my targets in. All that said, Im very happy this shined just over half odds. This is a really nice shiny which as I said, you dont see too often.
I liked Hitmontop as a kid but I could never get it because I didnt know how to evolve it, lol. I eventually was gifted a Players Guide which helped me get my Hitmontop and it has been one of my favourites since. Glad to have found another member of my HeartGold DTQ. Getting close to finishing it off with Ponyta and then moving onto the stuff I want to hunt in Kanto!
Thanks for watching as always. Good luck on your hunts!

![[LIVE] Shiny Miltank after 27,462 REs in HeartGold [Repel Trick] (DTQ #4)
The 4th member of my HeartGold Dream Team Quest shines after a whopping 27,462 encounters! I always loved Miltank & delighted to add its beautiful shiny to my ever-growing roster. She may have taken a while but I don’t mind as I didn’t need to phase. I thought for sure, considering my general phase luck, that I would get a Noctowl or Farfetch’d or two.
I love the blue, such a stark contrasting difference. Miltank is obviously very infamous for its role in the Johto games with Whitney so it feels good to have a special one of my own with a pretty decent nature to boot.
This was a level 35 repel trick as explained in the intro with Miltank coming at 49% of the time morning, day or night.
Next up is Tyrogue via soft reset in Mt.Mortar which Ill probably get around to next month after Safari Week has finished & I clear some other hunts.
Thanks as always for watching, good luck on all of your hunts!
