Congratulations on the shiny Mewtwo! I never would've thought of using a ghost type and using Trick to give it Leftovers to prevent Struggle from hurting the shiny. I appreciate you sharing your method.
It's so cool to see these shiny legendaries in Colosseum. Mewtwo's tail almost looks gold, and his eyes glowing during attack animations is awesome. Cool hunt, and congrats on finding it!
I think that preparing for hunt's so much is what makes them special. Every shiny video from you is a delight and i hope that it will be like that in the future. See you in the next Stream.
Man, Mewtwo is and always will be thé endboss Pokémon for me. Such an epic monster! Congratulations on the finishing of this quest and on this amazing capture! I love how prepared and dedicated you are! Getting Pokémon inside special balls is also something I myself really like to do, really awesome to see it with this extremely awesome Mewtwo. One of my favorite video’s/captures of yours yet, congrats man ✨
Hi Sonikks just want to say that I enjoy your videos. You are the only pokemon channel I watch now because I don't rly have time anymore with college. But I make the time to watch your videos soley because I know that you shiny hunt on genuine devices like GBA and DS's, etc. I dont know why but to me the fact that you get these shinys on genuine nindendo hardware makes the shiny so much more meaningful in my opinion.
@@TheHorribleBarista im not exactly an expert in gen 3 rng, but basically the way shininess is determined is based on your "frame" and your trainer id (generated at the start of your playthrough when you hit new game). the frame progresses with time, so him taking a break right then made him land perfectly on a "shiny frame" which made the mewtwo shiny. (pretty sure its more complicated then this, but i dont really know much more than this lol)
This cave looks amazing in leaf green/fire red! Congrats on the amazing shiny and what an amazing fight for that capture, those are both scary but so cool, especially after it's caught!!
Awesome find, congrats Steve! Was amazing to see your reaction, one of the most genuine reactions I've seen in one of your videos in a long time. A great hunt to finish right before Gen 9!
This hunt for mewtwo reminds me of the time I shiny hunted my own mewtwo for 3 months and after a long an crazy journey, I found him in 4'344 encounters on my own leafgreen. boy it was nuts back then. Congrats on your own shiny mewtwo!
Thank you for the respect you gave ol 150! Also that has never happened to me in all my years of hunting - taking an ingame break and hitting the shiny frame! Mad kudos to that! 2nd Edit - when looking for special attack Mewtwo at lv 70 you are looking for around 260 sp attack at catch without calcium. 3rd Edit - shiny Mewtwo’s eyes glow blue when he gets hit with an attack and moves his arms as if saying “Enough”. Best when getting hit with a low effects move like a Pound or Headbutt.
This was so awesome! Glad I was there when this happened 👀 It really just makes me so happy when people properly prepare for a hunt and capture. I appreciate the strategy of tough captures like this and I'm disappointed when people just decide to YOLO lol rofl throw a ball OMEGALUL and hope they end up catching it in an X ball but inevitably throw a master ball turn 2. Okay maybe I care a bit too much about that but still. Fantastic capture, absolutely made my day when you found it 👏
The gold mewtwo form gen 2 and the gamecube games is one of my favorite shinies period, I wish they went with that over the green, congrats on the mewtwo!!! If you ever go for 100 battles on mt battle you gotta use mewtwo for that gold!!!!
Nice catch! I did the exact same strategy with Latias on Southern Island to get it in a dive ball, stressful hoping the plan actually works but so worth it in the end for being that bit extra LOL
Now this is awesome! There’s an art to catching Pokemon besides just chucking a Master Ball like every other shiny video, kudos for that. I appreciate this video also because I too love catching legendaries in premier balls. I’ve never shiny hunted but maybe I should start!
556 premier balls…. Goddamn Sonikks overkill much? 😂 I know Mewtwo is a bitch to catch in general, but sheesh XD better to be safe than sorry! congrats though! Badass shiny! So glad it was way under odds too! That really is interesting though after all the shinies Sonikks has hunted, he has not hunted Gen 3 Mewtwo yet. He did Gen 1 though through the stats trick.
Damn, 3749 is really a low number for such a good shiny, i recently got a shiny tentacool while doing some grinding in my japanese sapphire version, i was really happy 😁 great video my guy
Nice! This was actually one of my only random encounter shinies! Lol I was just having trouble catching it so kept resetting every time it killed itself, after like 3 runs it shined so I just chucked my masterball at it xD
I thought about attempting this but to me shiny mewtwo is incredibly underwhelming. Imagine mewtwo with a white pallete. Lime green on grey is just tacky imo. Nice work as always though Edit: 16:45 THAT looks sick
So I "lost" my leafgreen for a long time. Now I'm trying to "finish it" by catching Mewtwo and I dont have my masterball, and I'm kind of sad about it. Right now just trying to power up my pokemon so they don't die from one psychic attach (my start was venusaur, so he's weak to it). I'm kind of hoping all of these restarts will give me a shiny, but will be so sad if I don't catch him.
I figured id lay out the worst shiny experience for me. So late one night was in my car just having a general look around in the crimson mirelands on pokemon legends arceus. I hear the shiny sound i look its a shiny alpha Ursaring in all its green majesty. I catch it sneaking up with the first gigaton ball. Bam! Caught it with so much excitment to name it. Perfect timing too cause i recently lost my siberian husky Taz in real life and always called him a bear. As you would think was happy named the big boy Taz....Welp before i could even think of saving i get an error code. Had to restart and look in the same spot but never showed up again 😅😔
How do you trade over so many Premier Balls, i’m wanting to try this myself here soon. I didn’t know if you had an easy way to do so many trades. Mewtwo shiny is awesome!
Brother…. You’re joking right? Go try and buy 10 pokeballs(yes 10 it has to be exactly 10) and come back here and tell me how he go so many premier balls….
In red i just threw ultra balls at him with full health 25 times and caught him(not shiny obviously). Good memories. Use to do it every run i did. I bet they removed that.
One question, I'm trying to get a Shiny starter from pokemon Omega Ruby, I have a 3Ds and does it affect anything when I turn off my console? I mean, I do the soft reset, but I want to turn off my 3D when I want to sleep, but I'm afraid I'll mess it all up.
In my first and only endgame firered save I tried to catch mewtwo with ultraballs because I used my masterball on zapdos and it took me ~630 ultraballs to catch mewtwo
I did this on let’s go pikachu took me 22 in game hours and around 1200 resets until I got mine. I’m doing my 2nd play through on fire red and I wanna give it another shot haha!!!
@@SonikksI actually got a brave shiny bulbasaur like this with pokerus and that in itself is super super rare and it became hands down the best bulbasaur I've ever trained
Congratulations on the shiny Mewtwo! I never would've thought of using a ghost type and using Trick to give it Leftovers to prevent Struggle from hurting the shiny. I appreciate you sharing your method.
it was the dark type of sableye not ghost, to protect it from psychic moves, mostly. nothing is immune to struggle
@@myuug But it has to be Ghost as well since Mewtwo has Swift.
Congrats! I admire your dedication to catching this in a Premier ball!
It's so cool to see these shiny legendaries in Colosseum. Mewtwo's tail almost looks gold, and his eyes glowing during attack animations is awesome. Cool hunt, and congrats on finding it!
got one of my dream shinies last week thursday, a snorlax, in crystal around 1300 resets it was so chill and your videos inspired me to hunt him :)
I think that preparing for hunt's so much is what makes them special. Every shiny video from you is a delight and i hope that it will be like that in the future. See you in the next Stream.
Also 1/8192 odds with no methods and no saving the game upon encounter makes these so much more emotionally rewarding
Man, Mewtwo is and always will be thé endboss Pokémon for me. Such an epic monster!
Congratulations on the finishing of this quest and on this amazing capture!
I love how prepared and dedicated you are!
Getting Pokémon inside special balls is also something I myself really like to do, really awesome to see it with this extremely awesome Mewtwo.
One of my favorite video’s/captures of yours yet, congrats man ✨
One of the best green shinies ever! Congratulations!✨

Funny how, knowing the way the RNG works, that little break you took was instrumental in making the shiny land exactly when it did.
How do figure? I’m not trying to be rude but very interested how the RNG may work.

@@uhsquidThat is how the shiny RNG works on RSE but not FRLG. Shiny frames are notoriously very hard to deal with in those gen 3 games
Aye, I appreciate you guys explaining it to me.
Shiny is uglier. Y
This cave looks amazing in leaf green/fire red! Congrats on the amazing shiny and what an amazing fight for that capture, those are both scary but so cool, especially after it's caught!!
That little space you took made you get that shiny that’s crazy even if you were off by one frame you would have not got it
I have a shiny MewTwo in my Heart Gold. It's one of my favorite shinies.
Congratulations on it.
Wow did u shiny hunt it
@@JunaidWolf3 yes of course. But I don't have a capture card. So, I don't upload my shiny hunts. I just do it for me.
Awesome find, congrats Steve! Was amazing to see your reaction, one of the most genuine reactions I've seen in one of your videos in a long time. A great hunt to finish right before Gen 9!
SONIKKS AFTER YOU GOT YOUR MEWTWO IN FIRERED I GOT MINE IN 1K SR THANK YOU FOR THE LUCK AND CONGRATS
I still stand by my sub summoning this shiny. (Joking of course) Gratz on the shiny and glad to have been there when it appeared live!
This hunt for mewtwo reminds me of the time I shiny hunted my own mewtwo for 3 months and after a long an crazy journey, I found him in 4'344 encounters on my own leafgreen. boy it was nuts back then. Congrats on your own shiny mewtwo!

I've been looking forward to seeing you catching Mewtwo in Gen 3. Awesome vid as always Sonikks, keep it up!
Lovely video as always! Pretty quick one too, congrats!
loved how the chat was freaking out not knowing how the master operates lol....nice shiny man
This was so awesome! Glad I was there when this happened 👀
It really just makes me so happy when people properly prepare for a hunt and capture. I appreciate the strategy of tough captures like this and I'm disappointed when people just decide to YOLO lol rofl throw a ball OMEGALUL and hope they end up catching it in an X ball but inevitably throw a master ball turn 2.

Banger hunt Steve! I like how in Colosseum the shiny colors of mewtwo are the same as the gen 2 shiny mewtwo sprite cool stuff!
getting 500+ premier balls is such a goofy concept it made me laugh lol. great catch!
Yes can I get uhh... 10 poke balls
And uh 10 poke balls
And a uh 10 more uh
It being in a premier ball just makes it feel even more authentic. The science pokemon in an off-pokeball
You are the best shiny hunter up there, you got a lot of very rare shinys, keep going
Been waiting for this, congrats again man!
Today Ash Ketchum became the world champion!
The gold mewtwo form gen 2 and the gamecube games is one of my favorite shinies period, I wish they went with that over the green, congrats on the mewtwo!!! If you ever go for 100 battles on mt battle you gotta use mewtwo for that gold!!!!
Classic hunt, congrats! Glad you went above and beyond on the preparation. I hope to take similar precautions when I hunt FRLG Mewtwo in the future!
Nice catch! I did the exact same strategy with Latias on Southern Island to get it in a dive ball, stressful hoping the plan actually works but so worth it in the end for being that bit extra LOL
Now this is awesome! There’s an art to catching Pokemon besides just chucking a Master Ball like every other shiny video, kudos for that. I appreciate this video also because I too love catching legendaries in premier balls. I’ve never shiny hunted but maybe I should start!
this is amazing! an amazing setup for an equally as amazing pokemon!
I love that this video has the exact opposite energy of RK9s' legendary hunts hahaha
Wow! Using trick with leftovers was a clever strategy! Nicely done!
556 premier balls…. Goddamn Sonikks overkill much? 😂 I know Mewtwo is a bitch to catch in general, but sheesh XD better to be safe than sorry! congrats though! Badass shiny! So glad it was way under odds too!
That really is interesting though after all the shinies Sonikks has hunted, he has not hunted Gen 3 Mewtwo yet. He did Gen 1 though through the stats trick.
Congrats man! Must feel great to have so much preparation pay off!
Seeing shiny exhibition on colosseum is a huge dopamine source.
Nice. Congratulations on the Shiny.
Shiny Mewtwo in FR was among my first 10 shinies. Happened to be modest with 30 IV sp. Att. 29 speed and hp. A one of a kind beast I'll tell you that
Damn, 3749 is really a low number for such a good shiny, i recently got a shiny tentacool while doing some grinding in my japanese sapphire version, i was really happy 😁 great video my guy
Awsome Steve! Major congrats!!
God tier shiny. Congrats 🎈
Congrats! Shiny Mewtwo is very great and i wish to get one on my own at some point!
love ur content 😊😊 always love the reactions to shinies
Getting 500 premier balls, that was certainly a chunk of the prep time haha
Congratulations! shiny Mewtwo is one of my favorites!
Shiny mewtwo has gotta be one of my favorite shinies of all time! Huge catch B^)
I got a shiny Brave Mewtwo in LG last night. Funny that that’s your nature guess! Congrats on your sick shiny!
Calm Nature, at least it is better than Careful but it’s Speed IV is 30-31 and it’s Special Attack is pretty high too. Nice find
Really enjoy legit shiny hunters your videos are real good and I relate cause I'm real extra myself so yup lol new suscriber right here
I admire ur absolute dedication by catching this in a premier ball buddy
Nice! This was actually one of my only random encounter shinies! Lol I was just having trouble catching it so kept resetting every time it killed itself, after like 3 runs it shined so I just chucked my masterball at it xD
why didnt you just use the masterball initially ?
@@gahnity because I don’t think a non shiny mewtwo is worth a master ball
Congrats on the Mewtwo! Cool shiny!
Man prepares more for shiny hunts than I prepare for university exams
Edit: that shiny Dragonite shade tho😭 Green shinies best shinies
Thoughts on overworld shinies in Scarlet and Violet with no sparkle sound like in Legends Arceus?
watching someone doing the same thing thousands of times, definitely this is the kind of video I want to see
sarcasm or?
@@Sonikks no, it's not.
Seeing this live was really fun! And you still have plenty of premier balls if you want another legendary in one at any point.
I thought about attempting this but to me shiny mewtwo is incredibly underwhelming. Imagine mewtwo with a white pallete. Lime green on grey is just tacky imo. Nice work as always though
Edit: 16:45 THAT looks sick
Such an interesting strat! I feel inspired to hunt mewtwo with this method now 😄
Congrats!! I want to hunt mewtwo in HG once I get the weather trio. So cool to see a shiny mewtwo in FR.
I'm adding this to my hunt list after seeing it in Collosium, love the premier ball!
Favorite Pokémon Sensei! You are Sensei Shiny Hunter.
Congrats!! 1 Question on what do you Play Pokémon Fire Red on the Game Boy or on The PC (ROM)
My guy my G you bloody DID it!!
Wait. If you use trick on a wild pokemon and then knock it out, do you lose the item?
Shiny hunting mewtwo in lets go eevee! Congratulations on the shiny ❤️
Imagine going through all them soft resets just to 1 shot mewtwo
Love how you sat there infront of Mewtwo for a good bit.
Shiny Mewtwo: CHALLENGE ME!!!!!
Congrats.
So I "lost" my leafgreen for a long time. Now I'm trying to "finish it" by catching Mewtwo and I dont have my masterball, and I'm kind of sad about it. Right now just trying to power up my pokemon so they don't die from one psychic attach (my start was venusaur, so he's weak to it). I'm kind of hoping all of these restarts will give me a shiny, but will be so sad if I don't catch him.
Congrats!!
Congrats!
71!
The premiere ball is the best way to commemorate some sort of event.
Out of all the possible color combinations for shiny mew2 , they give it snot 3rd world country water green

¡EPIC BRO!
My brother's first encounter with mewtwo in this game was shiny. Unbelievably lucky
In red i just threw ultra balls at him
with full health 25 times and caught him(not shiny obviously). Good memories. Use to do it every run i did. I bet they removed that.
This is an awesome shiny! I have my Mewtwo in a Nest ball
One question, I'm trying to get a Shiny starter from pokemon Omega Ruby, I have a 3Ds and does it affect anything when I turn off my console? I mean, I do the soft reset, but I want to turn off my 3D when I want to sleep, but I'm afraid I'll mess it all up.
Congrats dude current SRing for a shiny charmander in fire red 😬😬
In my first and only endgame firered save I tried to catch mewtwo with ultraballs because I used my masterball on zapdos and it took me ~630 ultraballs to catch mewtwo
"Shiny Mewtwo..... YASSSS" 🤣
timid abra with synchronize would force him 50% of time to be timid
That doesn't work in FR/LG. Emerald and up. Not R/S/FR/LG.
Wouldn’t the skill swap give smeargle pressure and mess up the count it seems like that wasnt mentioned. Anyways congrats on the great shiny Steve.
I did this on let’s go pikachu took me 22 in game hours and around 1200 resets until I got mine. I’m doing my 2nd play through on fire red and I wanna give it another shot haha!!!
Now go do all the shiny roamers again but catch them in premiere balls! 🎉
Imagine if you didn't have to pause for a while there lol. Who knows when you would've encountered it
AS Caçadas de antigamente eram mitológicas.
You should rescue that Flaafy one of these days
Bro, I imagine restarting 3000 times.
Don’t think I’ve ever seen a lvl 100 Raticate before 😅
Would still use a master ball, purple and green contrast still aesthetic as well. Plus the big M for (mewtwo) 😂
I just got my Shiny Quiet Mewtwo in Firered in 83-100 SRs
Congrats!
@@Sonikks thank you and congratulations to you too on your shiny I was going to transfer mine to Pokemon Violet since Mewtwo is compatible now
This shiny took me around 4 years and likely over 30,000 resets
Do you just have to keep on turning your game on and off and restart from your last save until you get a shiny version of it?
You soft reset. A, B, Start & Select. Keep going until you find it. The odds are 1/8,192 of a shiny. Full odds = most rewarding.
@@SonikksI actually got a brave shiny bulbasaur like this with pokerus and that in itself is super super rare and it became hands down the best bulbasaur I've ever trained
Is shiny hunting this as easy as restring or is there like a method to it?😊
Awesome!
What is the name of the game shown at last?
