Using Encounter Power Rock (level 1), you can find Klawf here very common with Nacli boosted too. This is probably one of my favourite shinies in this generation. It was a little dull to hunt this so glad it didn't take too long. Unfortunately Encounter Power Rock Level 2 isn't available until much later in the game (via badge progression).

The quickest hunt of this quest so far after only 2,530 random encounters, Cubchoo becomes the 4th member of my White Dream Team. I really like this shiny and its not something you see too often. Cubchoo is adorable.
I decided to move from Route 7 to Twist Mountain and do this slow repel trick and Im very glad I decided to do just that. I would have gladly taken a Cryogonal but Im glad I didnt have to phase to be honest. This repel trick was kinda slow at about 125 an hour which is down from Gen Vs usual 150-175 an hour average (albeit I was in a cave too).
Im making great progress on this quest and its nearing the end already, crazy. Litwick is up next, backtracking to Celestial Tower.
Thanks for watching as always!
I actually got this on stream too which is my first stream shiny in a long, long time. If youd be interesting in following and watching live, feel free to join.

This prehistoric bird finally decided to shine after around two months of hunting. I kept putting this off because I wanted to clear my list before I started really pushing forward with this quest.
When I was younger I really wanted to be a palaeontologist so Pokémon based on dinosaurs or prehistoric animals have always interested me. While its hindering ability is annoying, Archen/Archeops have near-legendary stats much like the Slaking line.
I was also surprised how few videos there are for this shiny. Very few people seem to hunt it. I really like the contrast of yellow and green on it & it stands out amazingly on a DSi XL.
Next up is Joltik but Im not sure when Ill get around to hunting that so subscribe if youre not already and Ill see you in the next video.

My third Kanto starter via Island Scan was another long one but at least it was 100%. It surprised me so much. Really happy this has been completed as it was taking a while. Fortunately its 100%, the only 100% repel trick in 7th Gen I believe which is unique in a sense.
Im not sure what I want to do with this save now. Probably some Ultra Beasts but not for a while.

I managed to avoid a Zubat for the longest time in 3rd Gen but I finally found one. The inevitable was just inevitable. Its actually quite a nice shiny in my opinion and Ive always been a fan of Crobat since I was a kid. I took the opportunity show it off in Colosseum too as I will make a habit of doing for all of my 3rd Gen found shinies.
A few years ago I bought a 2nd hand copy of Japanese Ruby which had a Golbat found in Shoal Cave on. The previous trainer had quite clearly transferred everything off the file except that Golbat. Poor Golbat, just so unloved. He now sits in my Emerald version in my shiny box and he is just as appreciated as my own shinies.

Super late, but she finally arrived. My secondary target for Safari Week 2019 was Lotad after snagging Carnivine. Initially, I started the hunt on SoulSilver but when Moltres shined, I switched my other system to HeartGold and double hunted for my target. Its such a pretty shiny. Hoenn shinies in 4th Gen have a really nice colour in their shiny forms in my opinion.
I never really had a chance to use Lotad in a playthrough before as I had Ruby when growing up. My brother had Sapphire and found a shiny Lombre randomly during his playthrough. Ive always wanted to own my own of this line since.
Thanks for watching, sorry its super late for this years Safari Week.
Best of luck on your hunts!

![[LIVE] Shiny Roaming Raikou after only 730 seen in Crystal (+ Stadium 2)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XIgadLeTBnU/mqdefault.jpg "[LIVE] Shiny Roaming Raikou after only 730 seen in Crystal (+ Stadium 2)
Shiny Roaming Raikou to complete the Gen 2 Roamers very quickly. Incredibly, I managed to find Entei in 100, Suicune in 1,119 and now Raikou after only 730. Absurd luck with an average of 650 between the trio. Raikou is my all-time favourite Pokemon. I love how beastly and aggressive it looks in Crystal as opposed to the rather derpy looking Gold/Silver sprite. The Stadium 2 blue whiskers too. So good.
Just the two Roamers left to find, Latios and Latias in Ruby and Sapphire!
These were all found on my childhood Crystal cartridge using a Gamecube and Gameboy Interface software.
There is a lot to say about this hunt. I was as brief as possible without missing out on key details in my intro but if you want to more about this hunt or Gen 2 Roamers in particular, please see the following links.

I found the write-up a lot easier to follow but thats just personal preference. I prefer things in black and white text.
Massive credit goes to Hangar and Rich for their work on this. Ive been in the shiny hunting community for almost 8 years now and Ive never seen so much time & effort into one specific hunt. As I said in the video, its not research, its scripture. In particular a special thanks to Rich for explaining all of this to me like Im 5, I needed it.

If you have any questions, Id advise commenting on Hangars video but I can try to explain as much as possible.

Latias is in my top 5 favourite Pokémon of all time and its certainly up there with its shiny too. I cant express how delighted I am to have this beautiful, shiny roamer Latias. I love the yellow colour. I had a feeling this would take around 5k and once again, Im near enough correct.
Very few people have hunted these roamers, in any game. Im undertaking a Roamer Quest by where I will be finding all of the available roamers in their shiny forms. I feared these two but the resets arent honestly that bad. Im still hunting Latios in SoulSilver too.
Hopefully another underodds roamer next time too!

![[LIVE] Shiny Roaming Cresselia after 19,542 SRs in Pearl](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ZUORv2IL3l4/mqdefault.jpg "[LIVE] Shiny Roaming Cresselia after 19,542 SRs in Pearl
An absolutely amazing shiny without any doubt. Shiny Cresselia sits comfortably in my top 5 shinies of all time. I cant believe how nice it is. The blue and purple combination in particular look incredible.
This is my 9th Shiny Roamer for my Roamer Quest. Double digits soon!
Here is a bit of information on how to hunt Roamers in Sinnoh and the information in the source code;
There is a 50% chance to find a Roamer if its on the route. A significant jump from Gen 3 (~5.5%); https://imgur.com/vPVyZHC
There is a 30% chance of the Roamer hopping to another route if you dont encounter it first. Say you find a Shinx instead; https://imgur.com/aY3BWEV
There is a 1/16 chance of time you reset the route while chasing it down that its location will randomise; https://imgur.com/f8soxlm
The games actively try to stop you from boxing the roamers in (around PalPark for example). Sneaky! https://imgur.com/5Caxv8a
