I remember the first time I played Crystal. I knew the Red Gyardos was always shiny and had the sparkles. The first time Suicune appeared it did the same thing. My 7 year old mind assumed it was the same and was always sparkly. So I didn't bother to keep that Suicune when I made a new game. Didn't realise what I lost for a while....
After catching her first ever shiny hunt after 12 years, CandyEvie: There it is. ( No excitement whatsoever) After catching my first ever shiny hunt after 1 year, Me: *Fainted* out of happiness
I did this for the Hoenn dex (emerald) already but used RNG abuse for most of the Pokemon. I'll let you know that it's pretty much impossible without RNG abuse...it took me the good part of a year to make it happen.
You’ve inspired me to refind the shiny budew I randomly encountered in my first Pokémon Pearl play through and didn’t quite understand what shinies were
Budew was my first shiny too! I also didn't know what shines were so I ended up releasing it because I didn't like the nickname I gave it XD I might hunt for one in BDSP now that I'm thinking about it...
If theres ever a remake of the gen 2 games on the switch, I might get it just so I could go to Victory Road and shiny hunt Graveler specifically. That was the first (and so far only) shiny I have encountered in the wild, and it was back when I didn't understand shinies and how rare they were.
For me, it was a shiny ponyta in platinum! I have a faint memory of encountering a blue ponyta and didn’t think anything of it, I ought to hunt for it again...
Nice video! My sickest capture was on emerald. I had used up my masterball on Latias (not shiny) and was capturing and resetting kyogre cause I wanted a good nature on it. It was rough cause it had rest and double edge making it really difficult to capture it because of crits and recoil damage. I was about 20 encounters in with only being able to capture him on half my encounters when suddenly a pink kyogre showed up. It was the most nerve wracking time of my life, but after a long battle with crossing my fingers to avoid crits or 7 double edges in a row I managed to capture him, I was so happy, exhausted and relieved u have no idea :)
I REMEMBER SEEING AN ARTICLE ABOUT THE 7 YEAR HUNT. I NEVER READ IT BUT THAT'S GREAT- Glad to accidentally fall back into the hole of this channel like I did like, 4 years ago.
I think that's the hoe advancement I forgot which It's either making a netherite hoe, breaking a netherite hoe or diamond (which was replaced by the netherite one)
I remember when one of my first shinies struggled to death. It was a Latias in Ultra Moon. It hurt. A lot. Never again thanks to Harvest Swap Leppa Berry Alolan Exeggcutor. (Except that one stupid Boldore that I accidentally found that decided to explode immediately)
All I thought of at the end of this Moltres hunt.... CandyEvie: I did my waiting! 12 years of it, in Pokémon! Glad you finally fulfilled that shiny Moltres dream 🥰
This just reminds me of the time I randomly found a shiny Spinda as a kid in Sapphire, then deciding to go through the hell of trying to find it in Omega Ruby
Funnily enough, the first shiny I hunted was also moltres in fire red! I didn't keep tabs on how many it took, but I can safely say I did it between BW2 and X/Y. I didn't have a strategy in mind so looking back I'm just glad I got my hot flamingo!
Fair play, 12 years is a madness, congrats on the moltres, Funny side note, didn't know about shiny's until just before sun and moon released, so that was revolutionary 😂 however, only truly shiny hunted once for a feebas, because shiny milotic. I also probably won't again as I'm sure my luck went out permanently after a first encounter shiny zapdos. (Nowhere near as impressive as it was on let's go pickachu 😂)
I wouldn't be surprise if journalists make articles on this video. They went out of their way to do the same to me when I uploaded that Guzzlord Screaming compilation.
my first shiny was a fever dream it was on SS and I was battling the electrodes int the secret rocket hideout and on my 3rd electrode it was a shiny and it took 5 minutes to process what happened, I caught it and I still have it to this day as i made sure I could transfer it when I needed to just so I could keep it. It was especially cool as it reminded me of the way the pokeballs were in gen 2 on GBC and it felt nostalgic for some reason. I always think back to that exact moment when I find a shiny and was the reason, I always strive to get at least one shiny per generation to pay respect to my first shiny encounter i ran into by accident. Also I named him Dynamo because i was a kid that was obsessed with technology at the time.
This is hilarious, and I have a very short story about that one time I caught a legendary with normal balls. Took only like 40 minutes and a lot of closing the game and opening it back up again, and it was totally not worth it, but I regret nothing.
On the topic of trying to catch a Pokemon that took years to catch, not a shiny, but on my copy of Pokemon LeafGreen I have yet to catch the roaming Entei after 17 years of trying to catch it. Hopefully one day I’ll manage to catch it.
This brings back memories when I caught my first shiny, shiny stufful and then it got lost in pokemon home and went into a mysterious void. It still has scarred me for life till this day. 😥
I remember my first shiny: It was in ORAS. I was training a Surskit and (for some ungodly reason) only had it in my party. I decided to use Sweet Scent for horde EXP and first try got shiny Nincada. But long story short I only had moves that would take forever to kill or kill instantly and these things were barraging me with Sand Attacks. So with a sigh, I used Bubble and watched all of them faint. It's been six years and I've found and caught shinies but I still want a gold Nincada. Unfortunately I don't have Omega Ruby cartridge (or the time) to Sweet Scent for hordes. Maybe one day.
Wow, six thousand encounters?! I just got my first shiny yesterday, a shiny modest kyurem and I got it in one day, so I didn’t know how rare shinys were.
why would you do that to yourself? There's masochism and then there's this. Whatever this is, its not healthy and your self destructive tendencies are gonna tear this family apart.
It probably would have been a good idea to bring along timer balls as well. In Gen 3 they start being better than ultra balls after turn 10 with a maximum catch rate of *4 at turn 30. They also cost less than Ultra Balls too. Congrats on finding and catching the Tendies though!
I watched this video yesterday and it motivated me to shiny hunt a mareep that I've always wanted and i just caught one like 5 minutes ago this is so insane def gonna subscribe thank you lol
I remember my first hunt. I was still relatively new to the franchise, and walking through the Alola region and knew little about the game. Then I ran into a cute little doggo, I immediately knew what to do. I heard about a new way to hunt, called SOS chaining, so continued the game to try and get an Adrenaline Orb. I found the orb, and immediately went back to hunt the blue doggo. It was a really fast hunt, over in about 100 encounters, and thus was my first hunt. A few years later I’m going for hunt after hunt, working towards that incredible end goal of a full shiny living dex.
Wow Internally i wanted a shiny galar pokemon And guess what? Shiny perrserker appeared and i hasn't registered one And i caughted it Is very special for me
My family is like that to an extent. XD My dad named one of our cats Big Mama before we found out it's actually a boy and we just call them Tom. :p It's mainly because we actually have TWO spotted kitties, so yeah, go figure. ^^; Other than that, one of my oldest brothers named one of his giant dogs Big Daddy before changing it to Tyson I think. XD Crazy. :p
Omg that must’ve been so amazing when you finally got shiny moltres on your FireRed. It’s such an amazing and beautiful shiny. I remember getting my own shiny moltres this year on Let’s Go eevee. Even after like 6 years I’m still going for shiny Articuno till this day and I’m gonna fulfill my dream of getting one on Leafgreen someday.
This seems like a pretty good video for this story, my first ever shiny Pokemon was a legendary and I don’t even think I knew what they were at the time. On one of my early play throughs of Ruby (probably somewhere around 2007-2008 so I was like 8 or 9) I went to go catch Groudon to progress the game, so I saved in front of him first per usual prior to the battle, however, I was under equipped on balls at the time so it took me multiple trys to catch him. Well, after a few failed attempts I tried again obviously only to find a golden Groudon in front of me rather than the normal red one I expected. I was pretty stocked to actually be able to catch him that time of course. I moved him to gen 4 eventually so he should still be there just left behind (I pretty much only played the gen 3 and 4 games as a kid, although now Im into gen 8 lol)
Been shiny hunting Moltres in HG for 10 years an I finally got it An it wasn't even the nature I wanted and its IVs are even worse So I was very disappointed but I still got a pink moltres to follow me around after which was the sole purpose of me hunting it Lol currently working on mew two an I'm on my 2nd year hunting that in HG
I found a shiny pidgey in Let's Go Eevee by total accident then forgot it was there and reset my save file. So thats fun. (I got a screenshot though so the memory of my first ever shiny lives on)
@@morganic211 same, kinda, the only game I have ever found shinies in was Let’s Go Pikachu, a ryhorn and a rattatta to be exact. I was stupid enough to give both of them away.
@@Wurmze yeah I found the shiny odds on let’s go ridiculously high. I never found one on my first play through or when I made a literal save file designed for shiny hunting, but I found them on my other play throughs while minding my own business
Videos like this makes me want to try to attempt my first shiny hunt from long ago, Latias in White 2, I might double hunt and hunt it in one of the ultra titles as well.
I think the reason it was watched by so many is that it was out on recommended for all your subs. I cant say for sure tho but it was for me even tho i didnt watch your channel for like 4 months
I love that you mentioned the fact that you used to use pencil and paper and counted with tally marks. At the start of my freshman year of High School I started hunting Squirtle in Leaf Green as my first ever shiny hunt. I’m going into my Senior year this September and am currently at 24,000 SRs. After that nearly 3 year period, I am on my fifth sheet of copy paper, and have written the amount of tallies I’ve done above each set of 5 tallies in intervals of 5 (the very first set of tallies has a 5 above it, followed by the next set having a 10, the next 15, then 20, etc. ) Every time I reach a 1,000 milestone I write the number above the tallies darker. While using a digital counter is more effective, saves space and lots of time, there’s something about physically writing on paper that I love. My 5 sheets of paper are a spectrum, with each sheet getting more yellowed and aged as you look back. By looking at the tallies and how neatly I wrote them, I could tell you where I was when I wrote them. Oh these tallies are nice and neat because I was sitting at the table when I was hunting. And these ones are large, sloppy and spaced out because I did these ones while I was crammed in the car for 14 hours while on a family road trip, and the ones right below those ones are microscopic in comparison because I wanted to compensate for the amount of space I wasted with the big and sloppy tally marks. The events described with the differing tallies didn’t last long, as by my third sheet of paper I’d gotten my technique down and can make very consistent marks. I guess they say it’s the journey and not the destination and as much as I want this Squirtle, the 3 years and potentially more that it will take me to finally get this shiny will absolutely be worth it, and the pieces of dirty old, tally filled copy paper will be worth more to me than the shiny I’ve been chasing all this time. I’ve grown and changed so much since I set out on this journey 3 years ago. I’m a different person than I was then, but the pieces of paper I’ve written on are the final bridge to connect the person I am today with the person I was when I started High School. In my hands I hold the connection between the kid that was afraid of this crazy new world called High School that laid ahead of him and the person today that has goals and aspersions of his future, of the jobs he strives to have, the life he wants to lead and the person he wants to be. So if you or anyone for that matter sees this comment, I highly recommend you shiny hunt on paper, it’s worth more to me than I ever thought it would be, and in a strange way I never want this hunt to end, because it will forever be a part of me. And thank you for making it to the end of this very long comment!
Haha, kinda the opposite for me. Pokémon was the "new sensation" when I was already approaching my teens. I do share a birth year with some other cool gaming franchises, though, Legend of Zelda and Metroid to name a couple.
4 years ago I bought a sealed copy of leaf green for Christmas and opened it (I know dumb). When I beat the game I caught Zapdos and decided to hunt the other two birds. I caught shiny Articuno at encounter 124 and Moltres at 343. I haven’t had much shiny luck since then but that experience really brought me back to Pokémon.
I literally remember every shiny i've ever gotten and they were all old game full odds shinies (through general playthroughs). Though there was the first pokemon i had attempted to shiny hunt and i'd spent months on and off at a time (spanning years since) attempting it (Rayquaza in pokémon ruby). Ruby was my first pokemon game and Rayquaza was my favourite pokemon. I had been playing Ruby for so long that I had to cut out the old battery and replace it with a new one. I also realised at one point I was trying to shiny hunt a static encounter with broken rng due to the dead battery (a few weeks into a session), so yay wasted effort. I was around 10 when i dabbled in shiny hunting Rayquaza but only took it seriously last year (i was 26) and was in a state of confusion when it finally popped up.
the pp thing is why i used 2 snorlax with thick fat and maxed pp yawns, even at level 30 which is when u catch em they can tank moltres's hits so it's just a matter of healing with a lemonade every now and then
Let's give a salute to this gamer for taking 7 years of her life, like she could've done anything else, but she chose to use it for the elite sentret, just perfect.
My first shing hunt was Ralts in Omega Ruby. It took several days, about 8 hours in-game, and 270 dexnav encounters before getting a true beautiful blue Ralts, and she became a powerful blue Gardevoir who could mega evolve.
next epic hunt: zigzagoon

pain
I don't fully understand your pain because this never happened to me but I feel your pain
Wait what?
Been there on leafgreen with a green bulbasaur
He thought that Suicune was a guaranteed shiny like the Gyarados
As a person who's never found a shiny, that's impressive.
What if the real shiny was the friends you made along the way?
I'm lucky because I found 3 shines I'm sorry for you
I've only caught 1

On one of my early play throughs of Ruby (probably somewhere around 2007-2008 so I was like 8 or 9) I went to go catch Groudon to progress the game, so I saved in front of him first per usual prior to the battle, however, I was under equipped on balls at the time so it took me multiple trys to catch him. Well, after a few failed attempts I tried again obviously only to find a golden Groudon in front of me rather than the normal red one I expected. I was pretty stocked to actually be able to catch him that time of course. I moved him to gen 4 eventually so he should still be there just left behind (I pretty much only played the gen 3 and 4 games as a kid, although now Im into gen 8 lol)
You should transfer him up to gen 8.

Understandable, one of the best shiny.
Been shiny hunting Moltres in HG for 10 years an I finally got it An it wasn't even the nature I wanted and its IVs are even worse So I was very disappointed but I still got a pink moltres to follow me around after which was the sole purpose of me hunting it Lol currently working on mew two an I'm on my 2nd year hunting that in HG
In my entire life I've only ever found two shinies.
one in an emulator, and one in a game that doesn't even work anymore.
So that's fun.
I found a shiny pidgey in Let's Go Eevee by total accident then forgot it was there and reset my save file. So thats fun. (I got a screenshot though so the memory of my first ever shiny lives on)
@@morganic211 same, kinda, the only game I have ever found shinies in was Let’s Go Pikachu, a ryhorn and a rattatta to be exact. I was stupid enough to give both of them away.
If you have the save file you can get the pokemon on an official cartridge
The only shinies I’ve got are from let’s go and swsh and the odds are so high (low? Good) that those don’t really count
@@Wurmze yeah I found the shiny odds on let’s go ridiculously high. I never found one on my first play through or when I made a literal save file designed for shiny hunting, but I found them on my other play throughs while minding my own business
Just found your channel. Great content! Keep up the good work, these videos are really entertaining!
Videos like this makes me want to try to attempt my first shiny hunt from long ago, Latias in White 2, I might double hunt and hunt it in one of the ultra titles as well.
I think the reason it was watched by so many is that it was out on recommended for all your subs. I cant say for sure tho but it was for me even tho i didnt watch your channel for like 4 months
12 years to catch a raw chicken on fire... That's commitment right there :)
I love that you mentioned the fact that you used to use pencil and paper and counted with tally marks. At the start of my freshman year of High School I started hunting Squirtle in Leaf Green as my first ever shiny hunt. I’m going into my Senior year this September and am currently at 24,000 SRs. After that nearly 3 year period, I am on my fifth sheet of copy paper, and have written the amount of tallies I’ve done above each set of 5 tallies in intervals of 5 (the very first set of tallies has a 5 above it, followed by the next set having a 10, the next 15, then 20, etc. ) Every time I reach a 1,000 milestone I write the number above the tallies darker.
While using a digital counter is more effective, saves space and lots of time, there’s something about physically writing on paper that I love. My 5 sheets of paper are a spectrum, with each sheet getting more yellowed and aged as you look back. By looking at the tallies and how neatly I wrote them, I could tell you where I was when I wrote them. Oh these tallies are nice and neat because I was sitting at the table when I was hunting. And these ones are large, sloppy and spaced out because I did these ones while I was crammed in the car for 14 hours while on a family road trip, and the ones right below those ones are microscopic in comparison because I wanted to compensate for the amount of space I wasted with the big and sloppy tally marks.
The events described with the differing tallies didn’t last long, as by my third sheet of paper I’d gotten my technique down and can make very consistent marks. I guess they say it’s the journey and not the destination and as much as I want this Squirtle, the 3 years and potentially more that it will take me to finally get this shiny will absolutely be worth it, and the pieces of dirty old, tally filled copy paper will be worth more to me than the shiny I’ve been chasing all this time. I’ve grown and changed so much since I set out on this journey 3 years ago. I’m a different person than I was then, but the pieces of paper I’ve written on are the final bridge to connect the person I am today with the person I was when I started High School. In my hands I hold the connection between the kid that was afraid of this crazy new world called High School that laid ahead of him and the person today that has goals and aspersions of his future, of the jobs he strives to have, the life he wants to lead and the person he wants to be.
So if you or anyone for that matter sees this comment, I highly recommend you shiny hunt on paper, it’s worth more to me than I ever thought it would be, and in a strange way I never want this hunt to end, because it will forever be a part of me. And thank you for making it to the end of this very long comment!
I dunno why this video got recommended to me but omg that was amazing. Congrats on completing your 12 year shiny hunt
Shiny Moltres looks like a chicken that survived the deep frier and is coming flying at you with vengeance in mind.
Update on the shiny Spinda army, they have multiplied to rediculous levels.
Update update: *h e l p*

GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL!!!
Only shiny I’ve ever caught was a buneary in black 2 last february 😫 this is amazing. Congrats!
now all we need is: Poketuber Reacts to "I hunted this shiny pokemon for 7 years" and we're set
Someone deserves the most dedicated award.
“It struggled to death”
Dang that cruel
The articles make your video sound like some fantasy novel! “Candy Evie was not to be denied!”💀💀
The articles have me dying XD
You could have used Vigoroth for your shiny hunting. It can learn both Yawn and False swipe so no need for switching to other other Pokémon.
Me who got a shiny moltres on 2 encounters: “I’m sorry, is this a joke that I’m to lucky to understand?”
That red cartridge reminded me of the Shiny Zigzagoon you ran away in Ruby, which was your first shiny
When a video release and you realize you are watching the story about a Shiny Hunt that is slightly older than you
:0
lol same here
Haha, kinda the opposite for me. Pokémon was the "new sensation" when I was already approaching my teens.
I do share a birth year with some other cool gaming franchises, though, Legend of Zelda and Metroid to name a couple.
@@gargervon8697 cool
4 years ago I bought a sealed copy of leaf green for Christmas and opened it (I know dumb). When I beat the game I caught Zapdos and decided to hunt the other two birds. I caught shiny Articuno at encounter 124 and Moltres at 343. I haven’t had much shiny luck since then but that experience really brought me back to Pokémon.
Windy day animation ft yourself please
I literally remember every shiny i've ever gotten and they were all old game full odds shinies (through general playthroughs).
Though there was the first pokemon i had attempted to shiny hunt and i'd spent months on and off at a time (spanning years since) attempting it (Rayquaza in pokémon ruby). Ruby was my first pokemon game and Rayquaza was my favourite pokemon.
I had been playing Ruby for so long that I had to cut out the old battery and replace it with a new one. I also realised at one point I was trying to shiny hunt a static encounter with broken rng due to the dead battery (a few weeks into a session), so yay wasted effort.
I was around 10 when i dabbled in shiny hunting Rayquaza but only took it seriously last year (i was 26) and was in a state of confusion when it finally popped up.
11yo me getting a shiny legendary in 4 hours: *i am 4 parallel universes ahead of you*
the pp thing is why i used 2 snorlax with thick fat and maxed pp yawns, even at level 30 which is when u catch em they can tank moltres's hits so it's just a matter of healing with a lemonade every now and then
IM SO EARLY PRETEND I SAID SOMETHING WITTY

Man, I remember I watched you when I was like, 11, 12? It's so awesome to see you making content, like when I was younger. :)
I'm still at a loss as to why you decided to give BREAST jiggle physics to your character's HAIR.
I think that's just called "hair moving"
I can’t stop laughing at big daddy came through for us. Congratulations on shiny moltres!
“We caught the Tendies because of Big Daddy”
Tied for the best quote ever uttered on this channel alongside “sweet dingus”.
Let's give a salute to this gamer for taking 7 years of her life, like she could've done anything else, but she chose to use it for the elite sentret, just perfect.

My first shing hunt was Ralts in Omega Ruby. It took several days, about 8 hours in-game, and 270 dexnav encounters before getting a true beautiful blue Ralts, and she became a powerful blue Gardevoir who could mega evolve.
