Probably my 2nd to last Gen 8 video. Shiny Bronzor, found back in January, on the 2nd phase. I got a Stunky first phase.
I have a tradition to upload a last video of that particular generation the day or a few days before a new one is about to drop. A few thoughts and feelings towards Gen 8 at the end of the video.
See you in Paldea!

An absolute dream shiny has been obtained. Shiny Mew is just gorgeous. The blue in 3rd Gen is so light it almost becomes transparent.
I attended the Manchester Arena in 2003-4 to pick up a Mystery Mew for my FireRed version with my Dad and brother. This was the first 3rd Gen event I could go to so showing off the event one is really special to me. I always knew I’d get around to hunting this eventually and as I say in the video, I did start this only to be put off by the encounters. In retrospect it’s not really difficult at all. I did this while double hunting next to Steelix too.
Showing it off in Colosseum is I think was the main reason I hunted it now rather than later because I’ve been playing it a bit lately and just needed to see those sparkles in the 3D arena.
If you’re wondering how I got to Faraway Island, I did have to use an Action Replay supplied by a very good friend (seriously, they’re expensive nowadays!). Unfortunately, outside of glitches there’s no way to hunt this thing other than to use an AR. Please be understanding in the comments. It’s 2019, it doesn’t matter how people get event items. Yeah it’s cool to do stuff legitimately sometimes but at the end of the day, the result is the same. A shiny!
Thank you as always for watching. Good luck on the rest of your hunts!

A brand new challenge and not a bad way to start this quest. I decided to do a Water type mono challenge last year and I’ve finally started it with this Shiny Mudkip. I haven’t found a shiny female starter in a long time too so it was nice to get one. She shined just under odds after only one Poochyena.
I did hunt a Mudkip a few years ago but I wanted to fully evolve this one as I kept the original one as a Marshtomp.
I hope you’re excited to see this quest unfold. I’m really looking forward to hunting a lot of these targets like Corphish and Relicanth which are extremely rare in Gen 3 or at least not hunted very much.
If you’ve never done a monotype challenge, I’d really recommend it. It’s a fun way to play through any game.
Thanks for watching as always!

Bit of a long one for this Genie but he decided to shine in a batch of decent luck for me recently. This shiny is quite underrated imo. I know we say that a lot as shiny hunters but its the truth. The deep purple particularly on the Therian Forme is different to the purple on the likes of Mudkip etc. I like it a lot.
This hunt is quite unique in a sense due to how its performed via the dex for maximum optimisation. Its necessary to have a Thundurus or Tornadus in your dex prior to starting and then you register the Formes page using the tick. Pressing select will jump you directly to the page. Its simply a case of watching the cutscene and then pressing the page to view if there is a shiny or not. The only other Pokemon this is beneficial for would be the fossils. If you revive 5 fossils and then check the form page, youll skip needing to check the party individually which is very interesting in my opinion. Im not sure if this is unique to Gen 5 or its something that you can do in later generations.
These arent really considered roamers due to the way its ideal to hunt them and are commonly referred to as a pseudo-roamer. Personally, they feel more like a static encounter hunt more than anything. With only 3 Routes to appear on too depending on the time of day, its a bit strange to add them to my roamer quest so theyre just something I want to do as random hunts as I appreciate their shinies.
A big thank you to Johnstone for his video on how to quickly play through the Dream Radar for the forme I needed as I didnt have an extra copy of White. Check that video out here; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNbXfuTocvU
