632 - LIVE! Shiny Lock Removal Uncatchable Poochyena in OR/AS (because I'm stupid) 

Wanted to do a fast hunt that would make me feel powerful after the long grinds for the Groudon costume and Lickitung, so I revisited ORAS starters with this silly lock removal idea! This is my personal first lock removal hunt, and it definitely won't be my last! I realize that doing this makes the locked shinies I found not totally legit, but I'm hunting them legit and don't plan on transferring them/using them online, and that's all that matters to me! As per usual, I controlled my multiple systems using 3DS input redirection (see video #628). Also, in addition to all the other big projects I'm working on (Emerald Prof Oak challenge movie/ Scarlet movie), I have decided I will make a proper Omega Ruby movie by the end of this playthrough! NUMBER OF RESETS PER PHASE: Phase 1 - ~1000 Phase 2 - 3860 Phase 3 - 660 Phase 4 - 2425 Phase 5 - 960 For a total of ~8905 resets and 17,810 total Pokemon seen counting both the starters and pooch. Insane that they all appeared on the same system!!

I love our silly little community. Instead of hacking the game to obtain shinies, we are hacking the game to just see a shiny we can’t catch! 😂

That left 3DS really carried this entire hunt ✨✨

The statistical odds of seeing all _five_ shinies on the same cartridge must be insane, cherish that cartridge

Artist for the thumbnail here- I had to remake my RU-vid account to comment and I'm coming in really late, but thank you so much Absol! I'm extremely honored to have been part of one of your hunts. The streams were fantastic and you continue to inspire me to go for my shiny goals. 😊

I think it's funny how some random Corvisquire is shiny locked while nothing else is except the legends and starters

can’t believe that one ds got all of the shinies, that’s crazy! congrats on the pooch!! i’ve never been too big a fan of shiny locking, and it’s cool to see you explore unlocking these shinies!

Shiny lock removals are such fun hunts!

It was so wild how you kept getting the shiny on that same console! It was so weird I wondered "is it perhaps because you keep reverting the save file?" But No! That's not how the rng works so that couldn't be it! The rng in these games takes a lot of things into account, including inputs, random advancements, and date/time, so you just got insanely lucky lmao!

You should hunt a catchable Pooch now. Take all of your starters and the pooch on an adventure.

You're my inspiration for full odds hunting, I got my shiny treecko in ruby after 3625 srs, and now I'm almost at 2400+ for a dewford magikarp lol, congrats on all the finds!! Gl with whatever comes next man really entertaining content

What a treat to be bingeing your vids, getting a random shiny and having to do a phase 2 on a mesuda hunt while watching your vids, THEN seeing you upload as i do it all. You're awesome Absol!

7:08 for shaggy impression

your videos always make my day, i just love watching you be excited and happy about pokemon! please never stop!

Thank you matthew. Took a break from this torchic hunt at 4896 SRs to hunt pikas and now you’ve blessed me with this spiritual pooch phase. This is a sign to resume. Bless me, shiny pooch Praise the pooch! Got my target Pichu in the Forest of Focus in a master ball in 233 encounters! Shiny charm on but the SRs weren’t the best haha

Your videos are always really entertaining, but jeez man, you've really been on fire lately with the unique hunts! Can't wait to see whatever else you've got cooking!

I think that’s a .16% chance for you to find all 5 on the same game, incredible!

I could've definitely used that left-most game after going triple odds for one Treecko. Phenomenal hunt, maybe I should've unlocked Pooch too.

I find it funny that normally people only hunt for the starters but you want the pooch. That's dedication lol, congrats Matt!

You found a great nature for the treeko on the first torchic and a great nature for the torchic on the mudkip lol, cool idea for a hunt! I really wanna do a lock removal on black and white cause zekrom and reshiram had absolutely stunning 2d shinies that got gutted on the switch to 3d

Great video man, have been watching your videos for what seems like years, keep it up

So excited to see more lock removal hunts!! I just finished a primal groudon lock removal for the last member in my OR SBQ and it was super fun Congrats and good luck on your current projects!! slightly curious question but what made oras your least favorite of the games?

Excited to see the crazy things these 5 games will be doing together in the future

the fact that you got all 5 shinies on that one system is hilarious! XD I am legit dying over it lmao

I'm not gonna lie, i only clicked on this video bc the thumbnail is the cutest drawing I've ever seen in my entire life!

that 3DS's back must be DYING from carrying this entire video, hunt, and 5 shinies

AbsolBlogs “ORAS is my least favorite game but I own 5 copies” Pokemon But in all seriousness, I’m super excited for all of these unlock hunt videos-it’s a very cool idea. I think since a lot people are scared of Homebrew/GameShark/etc. cheats (either cheats not working or crashing the game) or just don’t see the appeal of a “semi-legit pokemon” that you can’t transfer up-it’s hard to find many people who have attempted hunts like this. It’s always been incredibly cool and quite rare to see ANYONE even attempt one. (LJ’s shiny Victini comes to mind.) Congrats on the uncatchable shiny Pooch! (And the 4 other shiny starters 😅)

Love the video ❤ I’m planning on doing a shiny lock removal hunt myself one day. Good luck on your other hunts ✨

Cool to see other people doing unlock hunts! I recently finished hunting legendaries in XY so rn I'm working on ORAS. Also quick bit of advice for Primal Groudon/Kyogre, you can do runaways for them, and I'm pretty sure they're faster than doing soft resets.

That left-most DS deserves a crown

Great job Absol and keep up the amazing work

The odds of one single cartridge getting you ALL the shinies LOL Behold, the true MVP! Congrats, btw!

Hey Matt! Long time fan of the channel. How do you make all of your 3DS's move at the same time? Just looking for some help for personal hunts. Thank you!

I think this 3DS in the left loves so much Hoen hahahaha. Nice video, i'm exciting to see the next chapter of this savefile.

Im just convinced that one 3ds is blessed

Hey quick question. How are you able to soft reset multiple 3DS at the same time?

The shiny locks suck, yeah. But it makes the hunts a bit better in the older games for me. Since the odds are so rough I just can't bring myself to hunt anything other than modern locks!

I love the shiny lock removal methods in these games. Primal Kyogre is my final DTQ member, and I plan to hunt that thing no matter what

So how do you set multiple DSs to work of the same input? Is it a third party controller like 8bitdo or something?

The Poochy.... The Poochy is REAL! Also crazy that all shinies were on the samd DS! Congrats

Such a cool hunt! I gotta know, how did you connect a controller and connect it to every 3DS? I’d love to set something like this up, seems like I’d save a lot of time

Shiny lock removal hunts are very interesting and intriguing

This is such an insane hunt lol ig when there’s nothing left to hunt you go for impossible shinies. Also I’m a massive ORAS fan so I’m glad you’re revisiting it

was just rewatching some of your old videos when this popped up hell yea

you know what you gotta do now. shiny hunt a catchable poochyena, transfer 1 of each starter to the shiny pooch file, and beat the game with that team

i'm playing X and Y again because they are my least favorite. Still not my favorite at all but I have gained a bit of appreciation for them! Just find it funny how we can get a new appreciation for games we weren't big on! Also wow, that left 3ds really carried this whole run!

Matt you’re a madman lol. Can’t want for your scarlet and violet content my dude!

That artwork is so cute!!!

So many phases lmao, I had a question! What camera do you use to record these? Rn I'm using my phone but the glare is insane, so I'd like to use a nicer camera!

It's funny how these things tend to work. SO MANY hunters over the years have found countless uncatchable shiny Poochs (in RSE) while struggling to get their specific starter to shine. Yet, here you are Matt getting not only 3, but 4 shiny starters before the Pooch decided to shine, and all on the same game to boot! Absolutely crazy!

How do you control all consoles with one controller? Looks so satisfying :0

that was the one piece 3DS that found them all? dude the power of anime console is real!

Totally crazy, exactly what I want to see! 😂

And one of my more recent playthroughs in pokémon Ruby I found a shiny poochiana in the route where you fight May for the first time so still untouchable just not the same one

Do I say congrats or I am sorry! Haha awesome video as always!

I love these type of videos!

Happy to see the second shiny torchic appear while you're watching yowamushi pedal

1) ace ventura ftw 2) oras is my favorite games, there so much to do and its so easy to get and breed pokemon and the community at the time was awesome and the connectivity is amazing and the world build is gorgeous. I love my original day release save file to bits

I loved ORAS because the dexnav feature meant I didn't need to look up encounters online and a few other things like more megas, what reasons do you dislike it? Lack of battle frontier and customization?

Was the left DS the same OT code the entire time??? or reset each time?

How incredible that all the shines were on the same game lol

im so curious what the reset count for just that file is. because assuming the counts disclosed 😅included all 5 files you got 5 reset shinies severely under odds

I'm sure you get this question a lot, but how are you controlling all 5 3DSes at once? Is there some wiring going on we're not seeing? EDIT: video number 628 apparently covers this. Thanks for the info!

Great shinies! I'm intrigued to know why ORAS is your least favourite? (It's also one of my least favourites but just curious of the reasoning 😄)

Poochy just had the best odds in all the games

im very interested in this homebrewing of a ds to unlock previously locked mons. victini is my favorite mythical and ive always wanted to hunt it in gen 5, any way i can get an explanation as to how this works?? Do the video links in the description work for gen 5?

@AbsolBlogsPokemon Do you ever thinking of shiny hunting the starters if they were not shiny locked in Scarlett and violet?

Thank you for inspiring me to do my first full odds hunt im going for drowzie in gold

I think I'm more impressed taht you found all those shinies on the same cartridge lmao

I started finding it hilarious too that same game found all the shinys for the whole hunt

I just started a let’s got pikachu run today where I wanted to use an army of pikachus and I found a shiny pikachu after 14 encounters and then an hour later found a full odds shiny clefairy

How do you churn out actual quality content so frequently?

Maybe that file that got all the shinies had a very low secrete ID number?? Does that work in that game??

Can’t wait to watch your scarlet and violet play though movie ❤

That game’s back must really be killing it after it carried the entire hunt

You need no other DS. Only the bottom left DS is needed. Any others are cursed.

I will never forgive gamefreak for locking Reshiram and Zekrom's shiny in gen 5. There is something way more special about shiny sprites than the 3D models imho.

Does anyone know a good tutorial on how to get homebrew. I am doing an ORAS Mudkip hunt on 6 different devices and want to save my fingers. Seeing this makes me want it even more as I would do a lot more full odd hunts using the input redirections. Any help is appreciated

My man absol be watching ace Ventura bro I love that also love ur content!!!

Poochyena was the first shiny I ever got, i found him during or right after the sneak tutorial

That is so unnecessary so EXTRA...So... So You're Awesome

Shout out to that one DS that gave him literally every single shiny

Wow this 3ds and the cartridge are really blessed with shinies 😂

thats actually so wild that it was all on one ds

Unrelated to the main topic of the video but I feel the need to say that Ace Ventura is amazing and I recognized that you were watching it before you said it

Sad to hear to the sv starters are shiny locked too ): let's hope they stop locking shines

Is the poochyena with thunder fang shiny locked?

A shiny for each run thats dope

When you replay ORAS you should use all the shiny starters in your team.

couple years ago I have my shiny Sceptile who have I shiny hunt for I haven't run into the shiny Poochyena the reason why well there's more either I would more likely unlucky or the shiny was just shiny locked because game freak was idiots back then

5:35 Shiny WHAT? Matt get ur head in the game :D

"YEEEEES"! You were watching "When Nature Calls". To this day, still the funniest movie of all-time. EDIT: I posted my comment befor eyou guys called it out....lol.

sure the shiny odds are correct on that left 3ds?

I resonate with that 1st sentence so incredibly hard. I spent 5 months on a hunt for a Shiny Deyoxys on a spare Alpha Sapphire file which amounted to roughly 700k resets only to find out that it's locked, not as mental as rk9s' 1 million plus resets for Zygarde in XY but it's still immensely stupid. It's one of the most irritating things, it's just so stupid that Dialga and Palkia in BDSP are the first time in over a decade that the box art legends are huntable, they REALLY stuck to that "faithful" thing huh.

that left DS is NUTS, MVDs for sure!

Hey, um, could I borrow that bottom-left console? Thanks.

Amazing hunt since there’s no real loss when getting a shiny

How do you control all the systems at once?

Did we just get TWO absol vids in a week?

Yo?? That left 3DS is on FIRE. watch as it gets the other shinies too
