Hi there! The name’s Avery, and I do full-odds shiny hunting! If you like sparkles and discolored Pokemon then fret no more, you've found the right channel for your shiny hunting needs :)
Lugia's shiny color suits it typing way better, at least to me. And lastly yeah, good move using the masterball. Lugia is everything Heracross should fear. One 4x Aeroblast would've dropped you there
The first shiny i ever seen when i got my first pokemon game (gold in 2001) was a shiny bellsprout. I thought it looked different, but i didnt see the shiny animation. I tried to run but i couldnt. I killed it. Later getting to the lake of rage, i seen the red gyarados. After seeing it was different and catching it. It dawned on me that i killed a shiny... 😢 Later i got silver and didnt want to kill any more shinies since i never seen another one in my gold version. On route 29 omw to mr pokemon, i run into not only a shiny ratatta, but a hoot hoot also. 😭 and for the rest om my games lives. I only found a butterfree headbutting at lake of rage, and a geodude. Now 20 years later i know the mechanics, and im ready to start my hunting..... what am i getting into...
I hatched a shiny smeagle on my first egg i wasnt even hunting it only breeding a low level one bc i thought i needed it to get out sped by wild smeagle to sketch a move. Granted it was hatched from a shiny ditto
I didnt think there were going to be that many natu. I was like maybe 5 and it took many encounters for the smeargle? Then halfway through the video I read the text and was like 8 SHINY NATU LEFT???
I recently found my crystal version and decided to do a shiny only run. I found my shiny Cyndaquil under 300 SR! Hopefully shiny Wooper decides to show up in a decent amount of time 😅
No idea if anyone still sees this but Lugia was my first shiny full odds legendary I hunted for and I got it on my 222th try incredibly. I am, 3 and a half years later, going for my second full odds legendary hunt right now, Ho-Oh, and I am doing it with 2 DSs this time. I am at about 13k soft resets now
The shiny looks SOOOOOO good in gen 2 goddamn. I think im mostly happy with all current shinies that were changed from gen 2 but some are just way better in gen two. this is one of them.
How did this video come out six months ago! I swear i just watched it when I came out. I’m at 9 months of egg hunting in Leafgreen from last egg hunt and over 18k. 😂😢😂
Love old gen hunts!!! Heading in a few years late but excited to watch! Edit: just reached smeargle and wow....what a journey, congrats on being freed from the hellscape!
Shiny Smeargle was the first shiny I ever encountered. Unfortunately as a kid I didn’t know about shinies so I one shot it thinking it was glitched or smthn
We. Love. Under. Odds. Hunts. I finished my Black DTQ with Tornadus a few nights ago, only 1.1k so happy. Especially after terrible phase luck, 56k for a Minccino (not my target), 27k for a Herdier (not my target) and 11k for Ferroseed (not my target). Plus many more
Nice to see, that is way under par in Emerald. I am hunting Hoothoot in Sword Shield in the Wild Area now. I am over 9000 encounters right now. Yet, I ran into an shiny Oddish the other day, crazy!
Congrats dude! But wasnt the Smeargle in Crystal just a little bit more rare? I know that one was on the 25th phase or something... It was a joy to watch you hunt for every Pokemon. Just like you did in Crystal. Which game is next? What about X/Y or are you going to Gen 4 now?
Thanks! Technically Smeargle was a 10% encounter. Meaning Tropius was slightly rarer. I’m not exactly sure what’s next but I’m planning out some hunts right now!
Wow, congrats! Ive hunted this myself and it's probably my favorite shiny that I own. Getting it first phase is crazy! Did your Surskit have a way of preventing whirlwind? It would only matter for the level 27 Tropius here if I remember correctly so you were fine here, but if it was one level higher it could have been tragic. I used Roselia on this hunt (Sweet scent + ingrain)
