655 - My Safari Week 2023 Shiny Compilation! 9 LIVE Shiny Pokémon in the Safari Zone (Win or Fail??) 

This was the first safari week where I got a shiny! I was also able to watch some streams! Truly the best safari week so far for me!

That was an uncanny Cal Zone impression! Really had me fooled there! Even though I don't stream, it was fun joining the safari week and try a different hunt for once. Not only did I find my first Rumble shiny this year, but also my first Safari shiny this week! Thanks for hosting these events, they really rekindled my love for shiny hunting I had back in the day :)

It’s got the letter C in it! Like Safari! This killed me for some reason. Pure enjoyable safari week greatness from Matt (Absol) as always.

"I should have done masuda!" Hilarious. Doing an IRL looks so fun, very good vibes.

Congrats on the shinies! I ended up finding nothing but hopefully next time I’ll be luckier 😂

Man, this beats the heat over here. Happy Safari Week!

cant believe those exeggcute would just eggs-it the battle like that. congrats on all the finds, wish you found something during the IRL but it was a pleasure hanging and hunting with you!! (next time pls bring cal zone, im a huge fan)

your cal zone impression is so good that it made me think you were about to reveal that you and cal zone were actually the same person. that would have been an earth-shattering twist that i may have never recovered from, but it seems that this is thankfully not the case.

Love safari week!!!

This was the first safari week I participated in and it was a blast! Can’t wait for next year!

Safari week is truly one of the many weeks of the year where gamers and gamettes alike hunt for different colored pixels on old video games. Congrats on all the shiniest Matt and it’s always great to see Mr. Zone

I love when shiny Pokémon break out of the ball so I get to see them sparkle again… unless it’s safari week 😬

MATT YOU HAD ME FOOLED! you sounded exactly like my man Cal Zone.

This was my first safari week! Unfortunately didn't find a shiny but it was so much fun to be entrenched in the community and catch some of your streams. Poorly-drawn chibi metagross will return

I’ve watched this multiple times already and my favorite moment of all is “oh no may fell” thanks for helping me stay inspired shiny hunting and making great memories just like May falling

Congrats on the shinies 🎉 This was my first ever safari week, I had a lot of hiccups, my switch got rained on and one of my joy-cons is still broken but i still loved it, cant wait for next year! Didnt get any shinies but had fun hunting in BDSP :) 183!

Love the IRL skits!! This safari week was amazing, Congrats on all your finds!

This was a great safari week glad to see some of these on stream. Thanks Matt

That dry humor with the fast break had me laughing so hard😂

Also nice to see you were walked Summer Games Done Quick. Their marathons are always cool background noise to grinding. ^_^

Well done as always, Absol! Congratulations on all of your finds, and I can’t wait to get back in there next year!

Happy Birthday Cal Zone

The nidorina bit reminded me of this hgss strategy guide I had as a kid which had a pokedex section with the official art and the in game sprites but for the battle sprites for ponyta it had graveler instead

I literally couldn’t wait for you to upload ! I been rewatching your old hunts and enjoying some Doritos Locos tacos and some baja blast Mountain Dew in honor of the great AbsolBlogs 🌮🥤✨🐥!!

An amazing safari week this year and a super fun one at that! this was my second and i got my first ever safari shiny during it. love the community and the total experience! heres to a good year ahead of everyone!

such good finds!!! congrats on all the finds, including a BRAND NEW ZONE!!!!!!!!!!111!1!!!

Dude you have no idea how much I would just love to watch daily vlogs

Great haul! Feels like we were in Texas only yesterday... Also, thanks for ruining my perception of Nidoking'e back sprite ❤

LET'S GOOOOOO Had fun during my first Safari Week!

Hello it's the hammer throwing maniac to say it was a good safari week with you

Super looking forward to the IRL meetup video - that looks like it was super fun.

Awesome video, congratulations on all the shinies not just for you but for everyone!

I love these videos, and the silly IRLs never fail to bring a smile to my face. I didn't participate in Safari Week this year, but maybe I'll remember to next year. It'd be my first one!

The "No Defecate Zone" bit was hilarious 😂 A shame about the fails, but some great catches too! Always enjoy watching your Safari Week videos, I definitely want to try and participate in the next one!

hell yeah safari week video!!!

Cal zone is the reason for the tear drops on my guitar

glad i was able to follow the streams for once lol

I was there for the live shinies! It was a lot of fun hunting while watching others stream at the same time, not to mention this was my first Safari Week! Congrats on all the shinies!

Congrats this was second safari week catching 4 shinies seeing shiny kanga was so cool

So many good ones. Congrats!

Great haul! We both found 9 shinies in total this safari week, you love to see it. That IRL footage was what I was most excited for in this time though ngl! Cant wait for the rest, even tho it looked like you guys never gonna meet up again by the looks of it....

First Safari Week I've been a part of! Tons of fun. Rip HGSS Misdreavus

Loved that normal staryu showcase🎉

Good stuff!

This was my first safari week, and even though I didn't get the greatest luck (failing a shiny and then going 4x over odds on the next phase which still hasn't ended yet), it was still really fun! Thanks for hosting this event!

LOVE SAFARI WEEK !!!!!!

Absol: "not Koraidon, not Miraidon, Rhydon" The entire internet: "I'm about to end this man's whole career"

Congrats on all the finds! So crazy that you both started and finished the rhyhorn line in one safari week! Next time at the IRL you’re gonna DOUBLE the amount of shinies you found this IRL! Also the guy at 12:02 has some pretty sweet moves!!!

Great job Absol I unfortunately didn’t get to do a whole lot of hunting this safari due to studying but I still had fun and keep up the amazing work

Thank you for the shiny Chimchar because of this video I got him after 968 encounters ❤

Mr. Zone's Matt impression at the end was spot on! I think he would make a good actor.

Bro I definitely thought that was Nidoking's eye until you said something xD

Congrats on all the finds Matt :D

This Safari Week was a blast! I participated for the first time this year and got a shiny Slowbro in HGSS :D a shiny has never made me feel like that, and that has turned a pokemon that normally don’t think about into one of my favorites

congrats man!

i love your videos ! you literally leave pokemon hahaha, trying to do this too! maybe in some years, congrats for the shinies!

Grats on the shiny Nidonyta!

Haven’t watched in awhile as ive been on a pokemon hiatus but 2 things: 1. Great video! Very entertaining. Love your gen 3 hunts especially and the excitement not knowing whether you’ll end up catching the pokemon in the safari zone! 2. You look like you’re getting in great shape!! Keep it up man!

You do a really convincing Cal Zone impression. Woah, he does a good Matt impression too! What are the odds that you could both sound like each other?!

your videos are amazing and I need (and want) MORE

Congrats on all the shinies! Glad I was able to watch some of the streams ^_^ Also I don't think I will ever be able to unsee this: 17:07

Odd witg facial hair is amazing

This was my 3rd Safari Week, and I finally caught my target! First ever 1/8192 shiny I've ever caught too, it was a great week!

the group shiny celebration was so wholesome

I really want to see a video where you walk us through your entire collection.

I watch a lot of Pokémon stuff on RU-vid. I think you're my favorite creator. ❤

Congratulations on all of your finds, I didn't participate, but enjoyed watching other people getting shinies=3

It’s about to go nuts! It’s about to go nuts.

I know this comment is irrelevant to the video but I recently started my playthrough of Pokemon Black and got my Shiny Snivy after about 500 SR and then I hunted for a shiny Tympole and got it in 880 Random Encounters and I was on call with a friend of mine. It was so awesome, so yeah!

13:22 the way his face went black here was pretty cool. Reminds me of an effect from a comic book or something.

That Oddish do be lookin like Jontron tho :0-

Didn't do Safari Week this year but instead got a Shiny Tyrogue in HeartGold! ✨

That sike out at the start was insane,i was convinced that that was Cal Zone

I was looking forward to this safari week but sadly I missed it getting caught up with school and band 😢 but congrats on all the shiny’s

I found caught a shiny Zubat! Very first Safari week i succeeded on a catch! Not my target but I’m still proud!

I came for the shinies, but stayed for the Cal Zone lore.

the little mini gamecube screen

I would love to see you do a ribbon master challenge! It seems right up your alley!

1 minute after upload, great to be early

This was my multiverse of madness

i believe this video brought me good luck. i picked up shining pearl yesterday to start tonight, somehow was lucky enough to get a shiny turtwig immediately without even trying, and didnt notice for nearly 20 minutes bc i was too busy watching this video lol ive been playing the games for two decades and this is my second ever shiny! thanks absol

Shiny Nidoking always looks so good.

“It’s got the letter C in it… like safari” 😂

I love safari week… Is something I would say if I was a full odds guy But I am not

Oddish with a goatee is peak comedy

this was my second safari week, and my first to find anything. i found a parasect and two exeggcute on the same leafgreen file, and they all fled :( hoping for better luck next year, and congrats on everyone's shinies this year!

This was my first safari week! Got a few shinies and a good time : )

My first safari week where I participated, and got my first shiny, an Oddish! Had to call her Pal Zone, of course, she took all my motivation but she was worth it

Dude!! You are amazing to have found so many!! I found only two and they both ran. A shiny Magicarp and a shiny Seaking. 🤦‍♀️ Here's to a hopeful better hunt next year! I will make shiny Lapras mine!

4:49 Das me!!!

This was my first Safari Week and I only hunted in FireRed (had plans for both HeartGold and SoulSilver but still) I got 2 shinies, and kept them both. Two Shiny Paras, one of both genders a Paras can be, and on the same day. I like to imagine they're twins

I was super busy during this week but hopefully next year I will be able to do safari week

looks fun

It was nice seeing sonikks in this video

Aw man, I missed Safari Week?! I wanted to take part his year!

I lost it at 0:21 😂

To the return of Calzone. RIP taken too soon from us… Fire vid 🔥 shiny compilation!

Great video :) this year I found a shiny wooper and slowpoke. I caught the wooper but slowpoke fled after one ball. Still going for a 3th phase. 7k deep

Congrats on all the finds! I found 2 larvitar that both fled😢

Lets go safari gaming! Managed to get my first two safari shinies this year, totally understand why people like safari hunting now lol
