Thank GOD you did it by catching. I would have DIED if you had to faint over 100 shinies.

The most peaceful _and_ powerful Milotic in all existing galaxies. Lvl 100 without fighting even once.

Who else thought he was going to knock out all the Shinies

Shiny milotic playing electric guitar is my favorite thing in this video.

He’s caught more shinies than I’d ever see in my lifetime

So now you have over 100 shinies, and a level 100 shiny? Time well spent.

This channel is way to underrated, he edited a 40 minute video and made it feel like a documentary through his journey. The fact that he only has 60k subs is astonishing to me.

=at the job interview= Interviewer: so what are your special skills Him: I can level up a Pokémon to lvl 100 using only shiny encounters in Pokémon ultra sun

video should might as well be titled "cutting 30 acres of land with only one scissor, one grass blade at a time."

I thought you were gonna kill them but then I realised you can catch them and earn still earn exp.

"Very few Pokemon ever reach this level" Gen 8: *LAUGHS*

Job interview: what are your skills? ABP: I am currently leveling a Pokémon to level 100 with exclusivity shiny Pokémon. Job interview: PLEASE NAME YOUR SALARY.

Welcome to the Salty Spitoon, how tough are ya? I raised a shiny pokemon only off of wild shiny pokemon P-please come in

Came because intrigued , stayed for milotic guitar at 7:40

Highlights: 7:40 epic level up 16:26 "So much to do, So much to see..." 22:38 Squirrel! 24:53 "Caution Alligators" 27:15 A shiny Aipom approaches... 37:40 ??? appeared! 35:02 Final shiny

I feel like I now only have 5 words in my vocabulary SO MUCH TO DO SO MUCH TO SEE

Quite an example of dedication

interviewer: so what kind of skills do you have? you: well im leveling up a shiny pokemon to level 100. interviewer: ok so? you: while only using shiny pokemon to get exp. interviewer: you're hired!

This is the craziest dang challenge I've ever seen. I come back to watch it every now and then just to remind myself of Matt's incredible commitment to these challenges

“Devaluing 20 shiny Pokémon lines by catching a billion of them”

Imagine catching 100 shiny Pokemon and having to convince someone you got them legitimately

"Level 100, very few pokemon ever reach this pinnacle." Laughs in player

This hunt both shows your incredible willpower and how easy it can be to find shinies. I salute you 10000 times nonetheless

Me when i get a shiny: *Uh yes mon, this gona be on my team forever* Absol: *ok..some more xp*

Funny thing, this Milotic reached level 100 without ever hitting his opponent

25:23 “5/3/18” oh that’s nice. 25:28 “5/3/2018” woah man he traveled 2000 years into the future, that’s crazy!

the editing on these videos whenever the pokemon plays an instrument is my favorite thing on youtube lol

When I am home and have nothing better to do I rewatch my favourite RU-vid videos this is EASILY on my top 3... Also best moment 13:48 and the music makes it better :D

I did NOT see this in my sub box!!!! Loved it as always but this one in particular was sick man, thanks for using shinies!

I clicked because of the implication of KOing shiny pokemon for the sake of EXP. I've been playing Pearl for the last few weeks and I forgot that the newer games give you EXP for catching pokemon too. I am bot highly disappointed but also very relieved.

This is my favorite gauntlet, not because it's bizarre nature but that we get to see Matt find a new Job and find a new place. It's nice to know that he can have some extra money to spend so he can afford some new equipment so he can give us more quality entertainment

Kind of an old video, thx RU-vid Recommendations. But wow, there's a guy training a pokemon from 1-100 only off shinys. And then there I am, having spent thousands of hours in pokemon games and never have I ever seen a single shiny one. I srsly thought they're a myth before pokemon go came out and finally i caught my first shiny there.

Lmao the subtitles. 0:42 “I’ve been hunting cHiNeSe for a few years now” Hmmmmmm

I thought I read the title wrong or there was some catch But no... you sir... *are a madman*

This was like my binge vid for a few days after work and I got about half way through and forgot about it. Came back a few weeks later and found out you got a job and a house mid gauntlet

I must say, you’ve inspired me. Shiny hunting is normally something I don’t feel I have the time or patience for- mostly the patience, since with most cases it takes a lot of self-resetting, egg-hatching and just plain good luck to be able to catch shinies. However, this has at least inspired me to start hunting in the ultra wormholes again; I got lucky with a random shiny Audino being the first shiny I’d ever encountered, and for a minute I tried finding more shinies but had no luck. This video got me to start hunting again this evening and I’ve gotten extremely lucky so far. I’ve already caught a shiny Yanmega, Swanna, and an Altaria (going for the red wormhole shinies right now since I love those the most, especially Sigilyph, though I haven’t encountered that one yet and I’ll update this comment when I do). Doing a gauntlet like this takes incredible devotion and perhaps I could try something like this one day, but for now I’m focusing on collecting em’ all. Thank you so much for being so motivational! I hope your channel continues to grow and you continue to make awesome videos such as these! TL;DR:Cool video, helped me start hunting shinies again! I’ve actually found a few so far, so thanks so much!

lvl 100 by only Battling zubats

go to level 100 but for every time you level up you have to play through Super Mario Bros. 2 *GAME OF THE YEAR*

As a fellow louisianian, I can vouch that snow appears once every 10 years

This is legitimately one of my favorite videos of all time. I've watched it over a dozen times and it remains my favorite background videos ever. Just the great music and the bits of your life progressing throughout the challenge is great!

My mans got a new place to live AND a new job in this video.

I was about to make a “interdimensional travel is easier than fishing” joke, but you beat me to the punch.

22:39 cant believe you found the mythical trash squirrel, they’re super rare! congrats!

Wait a minute, in literally every other alternate universe (not including UB universes and legendaries), it's only at worst a 1/100 chance of finding any shinies. That doesn't sound fair.

16:45 never thought if see the day when a shiny grumpig sung "So much to do! So much to see!" From a smash mouth meme song. I can die happy.

Godlike editing. I don’t think I’ve had as much fun watching shiny hunting as I have today. Also you appreciate competitive smash. I love you.

I've never seen one of your videos before, but I gotta say, I don't know why I feel so happy watching this all.

I saw the title and was about to freak out. Then I remembered from gen 6 onward, you get experience by capturing Pokémon too.

Me: can only catch a shiny red gyrados This guy: gets a shiny to 100 off of only shiny pokemon

That first level up sequence was one of the funniest things I have experienced in a while

Thank you so much for making these videos! I found these during the Corona quarantine and binged a lot of your videos, because they're just so much fun to watch, and you obviously enjoy making them! Thank you for reviving my love for Pokémon! Good luck on your future videos as well!

Ah yes, my favorite Pokémon, “Trash Squirrel”

Really nice touch with the Deerling and Sawsbuck cries at 11:15. This is my first video of yours I have seen and I love your editing and video styles. Subscribed!

Man your channel is so underrated, your videos are well made, you put a lot of time into them, there's good jokes and it's just entertaining in general. Always love to see a new 1-100 gauntlet!

This is the third time I've watched this video and it never disappoints. Easily one of my favourite videos on the platform

What I appreciate most is your dedication I love that you don’t see much of that now n days. You have a passion and you chase it and that’s great

"pokemon pikachu and eevee confirmed! not really" pokemon company: we are excited to introduce pokemon let's go Pikachu and let's go eevee!

In 50 years. Absol: Finally completed the level up a shiny living dex, that I caught and not bred all the shinies, using only shiny ultra beast for exp, with no extra boosts gauntlet

I love the various cuts to real world video, I love your personality and this is the first vid of yours I’ve seen🦀

Found your channel last week, pure gold. I like how you bring nature and music into a montage.

Hi Matt! I just want you to know your videos mean a lot to me, especially these training gauntlet ones. I love the formatting of your videos and how you take walks and record so many of life's really simple, yet beautiful moments. Your edits with Pokemon in the environments, and your jokes and comments about how they'd fit in the real world really warm my heart. This was the one that caught my attention to watch and I've been looking at all of them slowly (watched all the gauntlets though) and they all make me happy. I shiny grind sometimes now when I feel up to it too! I think it's clear that you really appreciate these little things that make life worth living, and seeing these videos makes it a lot easier for me to love life a bit more as well (I struggle a lot with depression). I've started going on walks in my neighborhood because of them. Your love for Pokemon is incredibly heartwarming. I really admire that you're able to play Pokemon while recording at events and while walking around without seeming anxious or self conscious, because I know I would be. Little by little you've really inspired me to just be happy with doing things that make me happy, no matter what anyone thinks, and to do as much as I can to appreciate life's simple pleasures instead of wasting away all depressed all the time. Thank you so much for making these videos. Your effort and your enthusiasm (obviously) don't go unnoticed, and you seem like a truly wonderful person and I'm glad I'm able to watch your videos. They mean a lot to me and I rewatch them pretty often.

This was a wild ride, great job completing this gauntlet!! The editing was top notch too

I always come back to this video when my shiny hunts take a long time, awesome job Matt!

Your videos have so much rewatch-ability! Love you Absol, thanks for the great content. 💜 Hadn’t seen your channel in awhile so it’s been nice to come back and rewatch some of my favorite videos and all of your new bangers :,)

Someone get this man a capture card! He deserves it for this amazing video!

when you realize the it'll take over 3,000 years going at the speed of light to reach a 35% shiny wormhole

I came back to watch some of your gauntlets and videos while hunting and I lost it at 'caution alligators'. I'm probably gonna quote that a lot lmao. Thank you

Your videos are like cinematic experiences man! Love the care and passion you put into this stuff :)

I didn't think I'd spend 37min watching this video but 37min later here I am

I love how you played deerling and sawsbuck's cries when the two deer passed by XD

this is a really great video. im sure it took alot of dedication to finish. props to you! im subbed now!

i love your videoediting man, keep up the good work! :) The guitare playing pokemon at the first endless lvlup killed me! :D

When I saw the title, I freaked and thought you were going to kill off full odd shinies. It almost killed me inside.

25:55 Should've used the formula off Bulbapedia! That Stunfisk would have been 3,818 EXP

When I’m in ultra warm holes I don’t have to watch I can just Listen to you that’s one of the reasons I like you keep up the good work

I like how you sprinkle in small bits of life as you go on with these gauntlets.It makes you feel more human :) Also, the point where you cut off your friend (?) about caution alligators was great xD

I love Pokemon. Especially shiny hunting in Pokemon. It's so raw, so new, (yet old)so..... Endless. You could be playing for literally every second since you were born to your death, and you wouldn't get every pattern of Spinda. You wouldn't get every shiny Pokemon ever. But you can hope, and that is magical to me.

Saw this randomly in my recommended and I’m glad I did. Best Pokémon video I’ve seen all year.

i love your presentation, and appreciate your dedication to using official hardware. subbed for sure

man barely started watching you but i love your videos and how much effort you put into the! keep up the good work

Great video Matt, really enjoyed this. All while getting a new job and place, exactly what I'm doing right now. Congrats on completing the gauntlet & belated congrats on the job!

Turned this on the background while cleaning, and I think your work ethic is contagious, because both my kitchen and my bathroom are now fucking spotless, dude.

I really like your music choices and editing style, good stuff

This is a very rare achievement that I will probably never accomplish, but very good job! I like the classy music and the progress in life itself too, haha. Wish I did that :P

Shiny pokemon caught just for EXP, rotting away in their box: I lead others to a treasure I cannot possess.

This is one of the only Chanels that I can watch over and over without getting sick of the content

I'm just loving the use of music in this video! It works far more here than it does it most other 'let's play'/challenge type videos and I do think it's because you don't use a capture card DS for most of the video. Which when I first stumbled across you're videos really surprised me as nearly everyone I watch now uses some kind of capture device for DS's and Switch. I like the fact that you don't though, gives your videos a really unique twist. Loving the content :)

I thought he was going to faint all of the shinies! XD

7:40 That entire sequence was fantastic.

as an individual who's stuck with splatoon since day 1, i had my first ever genuine pog face when i heard tentacular circus

Bro I laughed so hard at your montage during the first level up process! 😂👏🏼 LOVE YOUR CONTENT.

I thought this quest was hard. And then this man decides to hatch a shiny and at the end shiny hunt a nihilego. Respect to you man!

Damn this video is so excellently made, even for you this is so amazing, your videos do really have some sort of magic to them, something I really have a hard time describing, something that, in spite of how good your videos have always been, has really impressed me with how much you've managed to improve with portraying in recent videos. Really stoked for what you have to offer in the future as far as videos are concerned, it's really amazing how much you manage to focus on the experience just as much as the actual subject of the video, which I suppose is what makes it so great, it's just as much about the journey as the destination, and while I think others can manage to effectively portray that, somehow the way you do it has such an elegance to it, you can really tell how much of a journey this is, you really do a good job making me feel like I'm with you every step of the way, and knowing how much effort goes into it, it's honestly a miracle someone like you can exist, someone who is so purely driven by their passion to create amazing videos, and manages to effectively take advantage of that passion to put out such good stuff. I should probably stop rambling, idk, just hard to express how much I love your stuff, honestly, just wanna thank you for being such an inspiring person Trash squirrel might not have given any exp in game, but it was representative of the true experience, which was the friends made along the way.

Your patience is astounding... Well done dude!

This is probably my favorite gauntlet video so far

Next, level up a shiny starter to 100 by only fainting shinies in Platinum.

Oh man I can't believe you've actually done this. This is why you're the best

First impression: Pathetic waste of time 40 minutes later: Turns out shinies are worthless going forward in the series. PS I heard that Dunkey video

This might be the best editing I’ve ever seen on RU-vid. Job very well done sir
