[LIVE] Shiny Roaming Latias after 10,786 soft resets in Sapphire
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- Shiny Roaming Latias in Sapphire has been obtained. I’m so happy with her and I can’t believe the nature either! Latias is probably comfortably in my top 5 favourite shinies, maybe even 2nd behind Suicune to be honest. I actually did 1,000 resets for her back in 2019 and it was the only hunt that had been “scrapped” as I wanted to hunt it with a better-looking ID. The stars truly aligned when I got the same ID as my DTQ in my other Sapphire so how about that. I now own two LeafGreens and two Sapphires with the same ID on them. 14441 & 17771.
This was roamer number 16 for my Roamer Quest. Just Latios left to claim in Ruby until I’m done. I talk a little about what comes next in this video for those of you who have been asking me.
----------
There’s a lot to understand about this hunt so I’ve been as descriptive as possible. I may revisit this section with more details eventually and if any come up but for now here’s how the information
The roamers are generated in Ruby and Sapphire with the TV which tells us that a blue (Ruby) or red (Sapphire) Pokemon has been reported in certain locales. Once you finish hearing about the report, the roamer is then generated as shiny or not shiny.
Before starting the hunt, get a Teleport Pokemon (with Teleport set to Mauville) & a Surf Pokemon. You will also need the roamer to be registered already in the dex before starting this hunt.
Once you generate the roamer, teleport to Mauville. In this newer variant of what’s known as the Mauville Method (see below), we bike directly to Route 118. The amount of routes connecting to 118 gives us a theoretical 9.5% chance of landing it immediately therefore we no longer check the dex in Mauville to save potential time. If the roamer is on 118, encounter it and reset.
If the roamer is on 110, 117 or 110, bike directly to that route, check the dex and encounter it if you hit.
If the roamer is on 133, bike directly to route 117, check the dex and encounter it if you hit.
If the roamer is on 134, bike directly to route 110, check the dex and encounter it if you hit.
If the roamer is on 121, bike to 111 and then back to 118, check dex. This is the only 4 boundary crosses using this method. This takes advantage of the fact that the roamers are land-locked & will not go from 121 to the sea routes to the right. The roamer also has the potential to skip 122 entirely in this process due to potentially bugged code (to be determined).
If the roamer is on 119, 120 or 123, reload using the bike shop and go back to 118 & repeat.
If you’re on route 117, 110 or 111 and the roamer is two boundaries away (119 for example), bike to the nearest route and check the dex. If you’re not successful and it has moved away further, reload the area.
The key emphasis on this method is not to chase the roamer. It’s more beneficial time-wise to reload using the bike shop and reshuffle the roamer’s location than it is to chase the 4 boundaries in the original Mauville Method. Less biking overall just acts as a time saver across X amount of time. In the 1,000 trial runs of 4 boundaries, I only hit 83. That's a mere 8.3% success rate and a whoooooole ton of biking.
I did 4,500 or so of the original method and once Rich and I started experimenting and sharing feedback, it really picked up the pace. I estimate this variant to be ~35% faster which is quite substantial. There is always a degree of RNG of course but hitting those Route 118 resets really adds up. I was roughly hitting 22 an hour originally but with this method, ~30 is common. 35 was the most I’ve had with godly RNG luck. It really isn’t out of the question to imagine someone getting close to 40 with just perfect luck.
It’s probably unlikely (imo) that there will be further optimisations of the Hoenn duo but if there are any updates, I’ll update this section with the information required.
----------
Massive thanks to Rich (Shiny Ghosthunter Richie) for spending a crazy amount of hours testing, experimenting, looking through footage with me. He was the one who suggested route 118 be a staple start point as well.
A further thank you to Hangar (HangarOfRoam) for the original Mauville method which you can find here;

A special mention to Peru for probably the worst shiny luck in history with an absurd 40,000+ hunt for this Roaming Latias. A terrible tale.
Outdated but still deserving of a mention is Metarkrai for his research on RAM placements for the roamers as well as an old guide that may still serve some use someday. (in French, FYI)

2nd to last roamer obtained! Just Latios left to claim.
I've been streaming a lot more recently so if you want to check out some streams, feel free to follow here; www.twitch.tv/sonikks1
Which one do you prefer, Latias, or Latios?
Is the speed run you were watching for the same hunt that you said started with b on Twitter?
Hey Sonikks, can I shiny hunt with you some day? :)
Just got my shiny lugia 6000+ encounters.
Why did you catch latias again? Didn't you already have one?
4:47 "And don't worry, the bike shop owner won't mind if you keep using his door, it's okay" made me smile lol, definitely made my day
I can't wait for the day that he gets a shiny during his beginning demonstration of the video.
I can't wait for the day that it's a day.
Almost happened once I think. Pretty sure it was an Entei in GSC
His Groudon video included a random shiny, but yeah, I’m sure he’s waiting for that day too!
😂
@@tristan_sparks Can you send a link? Desperately wanna see that
The patience level to do all of these is unheard of. Congrats man
The Mauville/Route 118 methods are so cool! It's awesome to see how these daunting beasts of roamer hunts have been tamed by the likes of you, Hangar, Rich, and many others over these past couple years. I very much look forward to the Latios!
Absol/Matt I agree!
holy shit. the wingull really did keep him from going over 20K.
To do that setup 10 786 times is beyond insane
All my congrats to the king of shiny hunting 👍
I can't believe there's only one roamer left for you, it's really bittersweet tbh. But the most satisfying part of the journey is the ending, so i look forward to seeing you finish this out! Good luck with latios :)
I’m glad you’re still active. I myself have been taking a break from shiny hunting and frequenting the community but it’s been refreshing to come back and see favorite youtubers like you still hunting 😊
I admire the patience you have to soft reset for roaming Pokemon. Watching your videos is getting me to consider hunting for one as well lol.
Congrats! I recently got a shiny Latias myself after over 4 years of hunting on and off
Steve, the 3rd gen king! Huge congrats on an absolute dream shiny!
Congratulations on getting shiny Latias! ✨
This was really a great hunt, and your patience is truly infinite! I want to wish you the best of luck for shiny Latios!
I'm not a shiny hunter or anything but I am a Hoenn fanboy. There's something about your videos that really takes me back. The music volume is loud enough to hear and it's great quality. Thanks for taking me back to the simpler days and getting this S-tier shiny. Latias and Latios are my favorite Pokemon to boot. :) Congrats!
By far the best shiny hunter I have ever seen. Your patience and devotion is insane. Because of your videos Ive started doing older gen hunts too. The tutorial at the start is super useful too.
Congrats Steve! Always a gift to see a gen 3 roamer in my sub feed!
I gotta give you props for this, it seems so tedious to even get a single encounter, I cant imagine going up to 10k on this. Big congrats!
Amazing perseverance from you, amazing shiny for Latias! Your achievements are unmatched Steve - a huge congratulations 🎉
you never seize to amaze me EDIT: *CEASE* Omg
Legend
carpe diem, cease the day
Finally Latias! Hope Latios Comes Soon Sonikks!
Ba ba , ba ba ba
🌋 🌋, 🌋 🌋 🌋
This may become a dream hunt for me that’s more feasible
Massive congrats Steve!, looking forward to seeing Latios even more now - best of luck!
Great shiny as usual Steve congrats again.
Such patience to do the roaming eons!
I hunted latias with the eon ticket and found a shiny on the very first attempt from the moment of counting.
I really liked the soundtrack on that island so I waited for a full loop before I started the encounter. Best decision ever!
Congrats Steve! This hunt must've taken super long to complete, very glad your almost done with the roamer quest. Extremely impressive!
I'm late but massive congrats! My favourite shiny and this has been so helpful in making a shiny roaming Latias to finish off my Sapphire BQ whenever I get back to it(badge 7) as something achievable! You've inspired me to hunt roamers :)
Congrats! I just failed mine in soul silver so the jealousy I’m feeling is indescribable 😭😭
Masterball :(
It's going to be so bittersweet when you finish your roamer quest. I've been keeping up with it the whole time, and I'm super excited for you to complete it!
Thank you!
Big congrats man! Shiny roamers are so impressive to see. Good luck on the last one!
I dont know what to say anymore! One of my favorite shinies! Here i am struggling with shiny galarian zigzagoon and you do this. I wish i had the patience to do this hunt, maybe one day in the future. Major congrats my man!!
Woah, incredible shiny and big props to you for hunting down all these roamers, so happy to see a high quality live shiny encounter for these gen 3 roamers, big big congrats Steve
My favorite part of this was getting to listen to the Dive theme while waiting for a shiny Legendary.
I'm kinda addicted to your content sonniks, you and your amazing shiny hunts, especially doing roamers you madlad... I can't believe how dedicated you are to getting roamer shinies, easily the hardest ones to get! I watched literally ever DTQ series, the colosseum shinies, and basically all your yt playlists, idk if its normal to be this addicted to shiny hunting
And the bike shop owner doesn’t mind you using his door it’s okay 😂
You have the biggest patience ive ever known of, you have hunted so many roamers wow
These gen III sprites are just stunning
Insane! That’s a dream shiny oh my. So happy for you man!🧼 Only one left!
Congrats! She’s absolutely gorgeous.
major congrats on one of the best shines there is! so crazy that there's only one left until the quest is complete, hats off to you man!!
A shiny Latias with a Modest nature. Your infinite patience was certainly rewarded.
Only one more! Congrats! She certainly is beautiful! What a great achievement to get it after all that prep
DUDE!! MODEST nature too!!! You definetly deserve that win!!!
you’ve inspired me to collect all Pokémon games and shiny hunt every possible pokémon you get gifted/legendary/event and do SBQ on all of them. I just need the GBA games and 5th gen. Keep up the hard work! you’re a legend among shiny hunters
I'm not ready for the roamer quest to end! It'll feel like the end of an era :') congrats tho ✨
Thank u for clarifying that Rydel doesn't mind me using his shop for my own gain. I was a little worried about how he'd feel and would like to keep on good terms with him so that I can keep getting free bikes. Congrats on this, dude! These roamers never cease to blow me away when they're hunted.
Major congrats, what an awesome shiny with a great nature and ID. I am looking forward to hunt RS roamers one day, they are really fun hunts.
Modest nature too?! Holy shit I can't, that's one of the best ones for a Latias, GG!
I love the Eon Twins, I've hunted them each twice. Beautiful shinies. Gratz!
This shiny is beautiful, congrats!! I can't wait to be able to do hunts like this in the future, although I can't say my patience level will be as high as yours... QwQ
"We've recieved reports of a red FLYING Pokémon"
Sonikks: ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?!
I find it in emerald one week ago but it wasnt roaming, i went to the island, she is so beautiful😍😍
Wait how? Emerald events don't exist anymore
@@benneron8403 i did that too, you need to do the pomeg berry glitch in a particular way and boom. You will find the NPC that gives you the Eon ticket in a pokemon center
@@benneron8403 Pomeg glitch or using a gameshark to load the event
Hi I’m very new to shiny hunting and am just working on my first hunt. Your videos are very cool and informational. Just wanted to say thank you!
Glad you find them helpful!
Grats big man. Really enjoyed the explanation to the method you used.
You got all the Patience in the World,massive Congrats
You have been hunting this one for a good while. Congrats! :)
What an absolutely insane hunt, but just look at the reward for all the effort. The Eon duo roamers are hunts I'd love to do someday, I just need to psych myself up to it.
a shiny and a modest nature at that what a lucky guy.
⭐Congrats!! I can't wait to start my roaming shinies after I get my current ones done.
You’re so close to the end of the roamer quest! Keep on grinding Sonikks
It's a different feeling when you see it come up as a shiny every time
Crazy dedication you earned it/ Dispite the Editing
congratz on getting it so quick, and good luck on your quest!
well, i guess not that quick
Nice catch Sonikks, Latias is one of my favourite shinies.
Congrats dude ! I love gen 3 shinies hunts. I did another method for my shiny latios but yours seems slightly faster. Looking forward for your next video !
I'm sure I said congrats on stream but congrats again! The explanation made me wanna do it. I'll see you on stream!
Congrats on the Latias man! So close to being done with roamers, crazy to think
How cool would it be if in a future reboot of Hoenn, we can know if it's shiny by the TV saying "there's a YELLOW flying pokemon" (green if Latios) instead of it saying Red/Blue. It also makes sense continuity wise and would be a pretty cool unique hunt. It could also come with a short cutscene where you actually see the yellow Latias on screen!
You must have a patience level of a god cause ugh man i don’t think i would last 10k on something that long for 1 encounter
Congrats on getting ID 17771 again. In Omega Ruby I happened to get the id 00115 on my only savefile. It doesn't seem like an important number, but if you played the "COD Zombies" series like me then that's a cool trainer ID.
Love ur videos Steve! Congratz on the shiny!
Congrats on getting shiny Latias!!! She's such an amazing shiny, my 4th favourite shiny for me. I wish you luck on getting Latios.
Alao, while watch your video I found a random full odds shiny Elgyem while playing pokemon White for EV training :D
what an awesome hunt nice!!!!!! gz on 50k as well :)
Good shit man! I’m hunting for a snorlax and a second charmander in firered and leaf green, and eventually I’ll be hunting for the roamers as well after a DTQ. After that I’ll start on saphire and emerald! Love this hint and shiny, congrats man!!
The patience for roamers, I’ll never be able to do it
Best Legendary.
I second this
She is cute that's why everyone loves her, including me..
Wow , modest too! Congratulations!
No need for the timestamp, most of us just want anything from you man!
10,000 times every time waiting for the right route , fuckin insane
Congrats
Love shiny Latias! I failed it once in Ultra Sun and redeemed myself several thousand encounters later XD On the plus side I managed to get a shiny Yamper in SHIELD. Now I'm on the hunt for Rolycoly :D Good luck on your next hunt!
looks so good!! congrats sonikks :)
you deserve more recognition 🙌
I just found a shiny seviper in Sapphire while watching this video ...really wonderful shiny congrats 💛💛
Congrats!!! What a crazy hunt
Insane man. Major congrats!
Notification gang, major congrats!!! Such a great shiny
Nice! I love latias shiny on this gen. Congrats man!
Gg for that new shiny! I'm actually hunting for entei or raikou in Soulsilver since November for a total of 600 hours without any shyne on my screen that's starting to be really long, hope i'll get one soon!
All the best! Hope u get it today
@@Apathetic_ Ty man that's really kind
@@martincaro7798 np let me know if u get it by uploading on ur channel or if u have discord show me a vid or picture all the best bro! Dont give up
@@Apathetic_ Hi! Quick news about my hunt which is finally over after 750 hours and 5 months, i got my shiny entei and I'm really happy about that! Hope you're doing well, take care of yourself!
@@martincaro7798 yo u actually remember me WOW!! CONGRATS Thats a very LONG time!!
woah that’s a shiny latios!! That’s like a 1/4960 chance in gen 4! Can’t believe you got such a shiny mythical Pokémon! Congratulations!!
This is gen 3, and it's a 1/8196, even rarer :)
Can you just imagine the absolute brain-crushing monotony of how much work this must have taken to do?
I recently hunted Shiny Deoxys in Firered and I was losing my mind at 2000 SRs when it finally showed up.
Sonikks must have infinite patience to do this whole process ten thousand times, live stream it and keep a consistent upload schedule.
I’m watching this as I hunt my own shiny Latias. Hope it brings good luck.
Congrats on getting it!! 🥳
Congrats man! Amazing shiny!
Learned about the IV glitch earlier this year. Still, Modest is super cool. Latias helped me bear the Tower in my ribbon quest.
Imagine doing this method 10,700 times.. 👀 congrats man!!
(By the way, Gen 3 is definitely the best)
knew this would be in my feed soon :)
Unreal patience good job
Can’t wait for the Latios hunt!
Excellent as always!!!
Only one remains... congrats steve!
