Dude that’s so deep understanding of the games, I envy you not because of the shiny swampert but because you actually knew what to do the entire time. Great video!
@@RomanHold I remember trading with people back in the day who'd Genned stuff, and I was always slightly disappointed when the cool legendary or whatever would come in a Master Ball.
This was so stressful, but in the most exciting way. The fact that this is possible and was done is so cool, thanks for showing us the whole process! This is one of the only shiny videos that I haven't skipped through at all lmao
Okay, this was the craziest video I’ve ever seen. It was so stressful the entire time, up until I saw it in the PC. Thanks so much for sharing and seriously a huge congratulations
Absolutely unbelievable. I'd be pretty damn hyped too. And here I am, to this day, trying to catch a shiny Onix in Pokémon Fire Red the normal way lmao.
That's pretty epic. I'm so glad that gen 3 is getting some love again and that people are documenting crazy stuff like this, even if I'm 2 years late to the party
@@cellP8 ua-cam.com/video/6aHjbfmEs3A/v-deo.html this one is 'simple' but still needs a bit of a set up the next one uses the same glitch but gets more complex
The NPC sees you losing on purpose, storming out the building, furiously touching your Pokedex, flying away and coming back with a shiny. Yep, that's a pro trainer alright
I remember when I saw a shiny manectric in the battle tower and couldn’t do anything. I was devastated would have been nice to know this glitch existed
That's awesome! I had a friend find a shiny swampert in emerald's battle factory by random chance like 14 years ago. He quick saved, put a gameshark in and managed to steal the swampert! This brings back memories of that! Awesome find! :D
The algorithm just randomly showed me this, and oh my god what a great video, this whole thing was so cool to watch, had me hooked through the entire video even though the title and thumbnail already say you caught it. Something about the deep knowledge and glitchy nature of this makes it a very interesting video. Thanks for the upload and congrats
Holy cow, that's incredible XD I never tried the Battle Tower myself, so I never knew you could glitch the roaming Pokémon like this 😂 That's hilarious and awesome!
Man, I love the fact that you were so passionate about this catch and this game. It takes me back to the time when i was just like you. Ever since gamefreak removed megas and national dex, i feel like i have lost this kind of passion for pokemon. I really do hope the next gen will have something that excites me again.
Damn fine swampert! I had the same problem, as i snatched some BT pokemon. When you design a pokemon team to never lose, losing actually becomes Pretty difficult. Congratulations!
Nice, I once made a lv 5 legit dragonite and tyranitar in Leaf green by using the pomeg glitch to send out an egg then switch trained it with a glitchy egg pokemon named - that only knew thunder punch. You level the egg up to lv 55, it evolves, and when it hatches it becomes lv5. If only it was allowed in little cup!
Stumbled upon this. Congrats man! Not only did you shiny hunt it, but you also was able to pull off the glitch as well. You can hear the excitement in your voice. My heart was racing for you, even though this is a 3 year old video lmao
Awesome video! Never knew you could do this, but judging from one of your comments it seems you put in a lot of time, effort and research to do this. Congrats!
Oh my fucking god dude??? This is ACTUALLY INSANE I'm speechless man, congratulations and holy shit you need to brag about this to everyone lmao. Amazing catch, you're very knowledgeable, can't say anything more than you deserve this.
not me wanting to prepare one of my games for a hunt like this LOL. nice job! really love that there are neat non-conventional ways to shiny hunt like this. congrats!! such a great shiny to get, too!
thats super cool!! I remember seeing a vid on how this glitch worked and i didnt think anyone actually would use this because of how complicated it is but this is super impressive, plus shiny swampert is sooo awesome
So does this confirm that trainers in the battle tower and the battle frontier can randomly generate shinies? I know battle pyramid hunts in Emerald are common now.
@@eddiesussex a working internal battery is not required to find random shinies, without going into technical specifics, all a dry battery does is prevent you from soft-reset shiny hunting. Additionally, the glitch that I used in this video is able to be done to catch any battle tower Pokémon, regardless of whether it is shiny or not
Congrats, I wouldn’t dare to do this but always wanted to get all the ribbons on my Tropius which used to be my contest winning Pokémon on my Sapphire and migrating it up if it’s possible.
nice job! fun glitch to do. The end of last year I did it to get the salac and leichi berries off the battle tower pokemon. since those berries are difficult to obtain otherwise. good times
Looks like this vid is popping off after a year of being up lol. Congrats dude! I was not aware of this glitch. Looks fun but I wonder how far you'd be able to transfer it up in generations because of legal checks. I don't plan on doing a shiny hunt for a mon that I can't get into pokemon "prison." Especially when bank is likely to end in a few years
Wow, seeing this after your tutorial vid. It actually has me pretty excited to try sometime. I'm assuming you can also rng manipulate the shiny frame as well? I've hunted full odds before, and many other methods, but I prefer exploiting if it's an option. Just saves time and less stressful lol.
Thanks for opening my eyes to this method! After a few months of and a little over 2000 battles, I got a shiny, perfect IV'ed Flygon! I copied your method to a T (except changing Poliwrath to Surf to avoid Counter). And I will say that the bulbapedia spreadsheet is wrong about the natures. The Flygon I caught should have had a Serious nature according to Bulbapedia, but in fact has the Hasty nature (a perfect ability for a mixed attacker)!
lol! using mean look AFTER already BP'ing it. i seriously can't even tease, i've done shit like that soo many times. You KNOW you don't have to use it again but your instinct is like "yeah but just to be safe..."
Swampert is my favourite pokemon so seeing this vid got me hyped too. Also, its shiny looks in gen 3 waaaay better than in other games. The pink color is much darker (and matches the masterball more) which i prefer more.
Man. I remembered my first shiny back in the day same gameboy (sp) emerald version. It's a trapinch . I didn't knew it was shiny but the color is different so i catch it. After finishing the pokemon league, it suppose to continue after "the end" credit. But when it reloads it says the file has corrupted. Maybe the battery ran out. Then i told my friend that i caught a weird looking pokemon. And he freakout and told me it's a shiny pokemon and incredibly rare. So i start from the scratch maybe i can see one again which is not the case because everytime i finish the elite 4, the file always corrupting. That's also the reason why i memorized every single thing in emerald. i keep playing it over and over again lol. P.s. i didn't know that the cartridge need batteries to maintain the savefiles lol. As a kid I don't give a damn. I just play over again if it corrupts
Sucks that happened to your save but it was unrelated to the battery. Batteries can run dry in gen 3 games and the save will always be fine, hate to break this to you but you may have had a fake Emerald cartridge, as they have a tendency to delete saves on their own and never have internal batteries... sorry to hear about the Trapinch though, if it makes you feel any better I failed a shiny trapinch in ORAS on my birthday because I didn't know it had take down haha
@@primalswampert1050 you are indeed correct. I had a repro emerald version and after i beat the elite 4 i tried to soft reset for a shiny rayquaza and it got corrupted and deleted.
Update: after a long wait the full guide for the team rocket method is now released! ua-cam.com/video/aZHRwFQn4D4/v-deo.html
Something about seeing Gen 3 on a Game Boy Advance SP is incredibly nostalgic. Love Poliwrath's back sprite too, nice video.
Imagine this guy trying to prove this is a legit swampert without video proof he’s just like hey guys look at my shiny swampert in a masterball😂
Perfect IVs too, it sounds so fake but, here we are
Depends on how you define legit
@@Felipera_ no device is pretty legit. He’s just using the data thats already written in the game.
@@NoBrakes219 it still isn't legit, it is abusing a glitch. Still pretty cool though

Great video!
Thanks! Figuring out how to do this from an archived forum post from 7 years ago and my own process of trial and error was definitely challenging haha
Amazing username with this vid's context. :D
The irony of masterballing a “legit” hunted shiny is that it looks genned and sus af lol
Though when I pokegened I never used masterballs cos I think they ugly af
True, but it’s not likely he’s gonna be trading it anyway.
@@RomanHold I remember trading with people back in the day who'd Genned stuff, and I was always slightly disappointed when the cool legendary or whatever would come in a Master Ball.

I found a shiny wheezing in Crystal. Shinies if I believe are only on a single frame from a save state out of like 100 a second I think? I dunno…
this felt like watching old pokemon vids back in the late 2000s. great video love the energy
This is actually a very good video due to the sheer reaction, genuinely happy for you.
