Finishing my first ever shiny hunt (12 years) 

next epic hunt: zigzagoon

*CANDYEVIE WAS NOT TO BE DENIED* - Dumbledore said calmly

"We caught the Tendies because of Big Daddy" Thank you for blessing my ears Lucy.

Next video : "The pokemon I shiny hunted for 28 years"

"I finally caught the shiny moltres! *looks to sunset* Now what?" _Guts theme_

Can't wait to see the news articles on this one

"We got the tendeez because of big daddy." - CandyEvie

When she finds the shiny moltres and there is still half of the video left. *Nervously starts sweating

“CandyEvie was not to be denied” is such a powerful phrase good lord

I actually saw an article on the Google homepage and I was like “wait what the hell?”

Did you do it? Yes. What did it cost? 12 funkin' years of my life.

Alternate Title: CandyEvie and Big Daddy search for a flaming raw chicken for 12 years

I remember the first time I played Crystal. I knew the Red Gyardos was always shiny and had the sparkles. The first time Suicune appeared it did the same thing. My 7 year old mind assumed it was the same and was always sparkly. So I didn't bother to keep that Suicune when I made a new game. Didn't realise what I lost for a while....

As a person who's never found a shiny, that's impressive.

BREAKING NEWS RU-vidR CANDYEVIE FINALLY CATCHES SHINY THAT HAS BEEN HUNTED FOR 12 YEARS (NOT CLICKBAIT)

_Breaking news: _*_Famous Pokétuber finds raw chicken tendies with big daddy!!!_*

As a shiny hunter who only hunted once and got it in 5 minutes, that's some awesome dedication there.

Huge respect to her not screaming at the top of her lungs when she found the shiny unlike every other streamer

Achievement Unlocked: Serious Dedication

After catching her first ever shiny hunt after 12 years, CandyEvie: There it is. ( No excitement whatsoever) After catching my first ever shiny hunt after 1 year, Me: *Fainted* out of happiness

Nice video! My sickest capture was on emerald. I had used up my masterball on Latias (not shiny) and was capturing and resetting kyogre cause I wanted a good nature on it. It was rough cause it had rest and double edge making it really difficult to capture it because of crits and recoil damage. I was about 20 encounters in with only being able to capture him on half my encounters when suddenly a pink kyogre showed up. It was the most nerve wracking time of my life, but after a long battle with crossing my fingers to avoid crits or 7 double edges in a row I managed to capture him, I was so happy, exhausted and relieved u have no idea :)

Can't wait until next week where she announces she's gonna complete the dex using Shiny Pokemon

I REMEMBER SEEING AN ARTICLE ABOUT THE 7 YEAR HUNT. I NEVER READ IT BUT THAT'S GREAT- Glad to accidentally fall back into the hole of this channel like I did like, 4 years ago.

I used to LOVE ur content 4-5 years ago and returning back to you and seeing you thrive makes me happy. I’m starting to love ur content again to!!

"thank you, big daddy" that's getting clipped

Big Daddy, you will be remembered as being the one who helped catch a shiny legendary

I have found like 5 random full odds shinies but have never had the patience to shiny hunt so impressed by your patience

I remember when one of my first shinies struggled to death. It was a Latias in Ultra Moon. It hurt. A lot. Never again thanks to Harvest Swap Leppa Berry Alolan Exeggcutor. (Except that one stupid Boldore that I accidentally found that decided to explode immediately)

"Big Daddy came through for us." God, I have never been so uncomfortable watching a CandyEvie video.

You’ve inspired me to refind the shiny budew I randomly encountered in my first Pokémon Pearl play through and didn’t quite understand what shinies were

I'll be honest. Seeing someone not scream at the top of their lungs when they find a shiny is soooo refreshing.

This just reminds me of the time I randomly found a shiny Spinda as a kid in Sapphire, then deciding to go through the hell of trying to find it in Omega Ruby

7 years of commitment for a shiny sentret. 12 years for a giant fire bird!!

Tendies will go in history as Candyevie’s drive

All I thought of at the end of this Moltres hunt.... CandyEvie: I did my waiting! 12 years of it, in Pokémon! Glad you finally fulfilled that shiny Moltres dream 🥰

This was wholesome! I loved it great job and good luck on future hunts!

Your shiny hunting spirit has unfinished business before it can peacefully rest

12 years ??? After getting my first shiny after 6 eggs I give up after around 100 encounters/eggs . You’re dedicated and I respect that

This will go down in history as a legendary video. 12 years is crazy

Funnily enough, the first shiny I hunted was also moltres in fire red! I didn't keep tabs on how many it took, but I can safely say I did it between BW2 and X/Y. I didn't have a strategy in mind so looking back I'm just glad I got my hot flamingo!

now that is a certified shiny moment

I wouldn't be surprise if journalists make articles on this video. They went out of their way to do the same to me when I uploaded that Guzzlord Screaming compilation.

She has a serious obsession to shiny hunt for that amount of time.And we respect it

glad to see your yt/twitch has been going well. def my fav pokemon content creator :)

Here this is a smiley face *:D* hope you enjoyed

luck is such a strange phenomena you could feel like the most unlucky person then someone tells you their story and you feel golden

This brings back memories when I caught my first shiny, shiny stufful and then it got lost in pokemon home and went into a mysterious void. It still has scarred me for life till this day. 😥

Just found your channel. Great content! Keep up the good work, these videos are really entertaining!

I love how you called you lapras "big daddy" it would be absolutly hilarious if it was a female lapras

I decided to start the most masochistic hunt I could think of. SOS Shiny Salamence on Rt. 3 in Pokemon Sun. 1% SOS Call on a 1% encounter.

Wow, six thousand encounters?! I just got my first shiny yesterday, a shiny modest kyurem and I got it in one day, so I didn’t know how rare shinys were.

Love the video, always feels great when you achieve something after so long

In my entire life I've only ever found two shinies. one in an emulator, and one in a game that doesn't even work anymore. So that's fun.

Sometimes I fill my bathtub with marinara sauce and pretend to be a mozzarella stick

CandyEvie sure has a relaxing voice. Love her vids

Omg that must’ve been so amazing when you finally got shiny moltres on your FireRed. It’s such an amazing and beautiful shiny. I remember getting my own shiny moltres this year on Let’s Go eevee. Even after like 6 years I’m still going for shiny Articuno till this day and I’m gonna fulfill my dream of getting one on Leafgreen someday.

2:06 You actually shiny hunted a roaming Pokémon, I have nothing but respect for you.

On the topic of trying to catch a Pokemon that took years to catch, not a shiny, but on my copy of Pokemon LeafGreen I have yet to catch the roaming Entei after 17 years of trying to catch it. Hopefully one day I’ll manage to catch it.

This is hilarious, and I have a very short story about that one time I caught a legendary with normal balls. Took only like 40 minutes and a lot of closing the game and opening it back up again, and it was totally not worth it, but I regret nothing.

I've been watching ya a couple years now, you deserve the cred girl, you are my favorite pokemon youtube channel :D

I remember my first shiny: It was in ORAS. I was training a Surskit and (for some ungodly reason) only had it in my party. I decided to use Sweet Scent for horde EXP and first try got shiny Nincada. But long story short I only had moves that would take forever to kill or kill instantly and these things were barraging me with Sand Attacks. So with a sigh, I used Bubble and watched all of them faint. It's been six years and I've found and caught shinies but I still want a gold Nincada. Unfortunately I don't have Omega Ruby cartridge (or the time) to Sweet Scent for hordes. Maybe one day.

Just wait for the headlines: "Pokemon fanatic spends 12 years looking for roasted chicken!"

I watched this video yesterday and it motivated me to shiny hunt a mareep that I've always wanted and i just caught one like 5 minutes ago this is so insane def gonna subscribe thank you lol

Only shiny I’ve ever caught was a buneary in black 2 last february 😫 this is amazing. Congrats!

12 years of Kentucky Fried Chicken. Understandable, one of the best shiny.

I remember my first hunt. I was still relatively new to the franchise, and walking through the Alola region and knew little about the game. Then I ran into a cute little doggo, I immediately knew what to do. I heard about a new way to hunt, called SOS chaining, so continued the game to try and get an Adrenaline Orb. I found the orb, and immediately went back to hunt the blue doggo. It was a really fast hunt, over in about 100 encounters, and thus was my first hunt. A few years later I’m going for hunt after hunt, working towards that incredible end goal of a full shiny living dex.

Mirage Island! Oh, I would've loved to find that place- Wynaut used to be my favorite Pokémon back then (and even now it's still pretty high on the list). I wish you luck finding it!

It probably would have been a good idea to bring along timer balls as well. In Gen 3 they start being better than ultra balls after turn 10 with a maximum catch rate of *4 at turn 30. They also cost less than Ultra Balls too. Congrats on finding and catching the Tendies though!

The dedication is unreal. I applaud you Lucy.

12 years to catch a raw chicken on fire... That's commitment right there :)

Well done Candy! I love your videos.

now all we need is: Poketuber Reacts to "I hunted this shiny pokemon for 7 years" and we're set

Videos like this makes me want to try to attempt my first shiny hunt from long ago, Latias in White 2, I might double hunt and hunt it in one of the ultra titles as well.

I dunno why this video got recommended to me but omg that was amazing. Congrats on completing your 12 year shiny hunt

This was in my recommended.. congrats for finally ending the hunt!

Man, I remember I watched you when I was like, 11, 12? It's so awesome to see you making content, like when I was younger. :)

Update on the shiny Spinda army, they have multiplied to rediculous levels. Update update: *h e l p*

This seems like a pretty good video for this story, my first ever shiny Pokemon was a legendary and I don’t even think I knew what they were at the time. On one of my early play throughs of Ruby (probably somewhere around 2007-2008 so I was like 8 or 9) I went to go catch Groudon to progress the game, so I saved in front of him first per usual prior to the battle, however, I was under equipped on balls at the time so it took me multiple trys to catch him. Well, after a few failed attempts I tried again obviously only to find a golden Groudon in front of me rather than the normal red one I expected. I was pretty stocked to actually be able to catch him that time of course. I moved him to gen 4 eventually so he should still be there just left behind (I pretty much only played the gen 3 and 4 games as a kid, although now Im into gen 8 lol)

I can’t stop laughing at big daddy came through for us. Congratulations on shiny moltres!

love your vids! awesome work

“It struggled to death” Dang that cruel

Been shiny hunting Moltres in HG for 10 years an I finally got it An it wasn't even the nature I wanted and its IVs are even worse So I was very disappointed but I still got a pink moltres to follow me around after which was the sole purpose of me hunting it Lol currently working on mew two an I'm on my 2nd year hunting that in HG

Fair play, 12 years is a madness, congrats on the moltres, Funny side note, didn't know about shiny's until just before sun and moon released, so that was revolutionary 😂 however, only truly shiny hunted once for a feebas, because shiny milotic. I also probably won't again as I'm sure my luck went out permanently after a first encounter shiny zapdos. (Nowhere near as impressive as it was on let's go pickachu 😂)

Your previous video randomly showed up on my recommended feed, and I’m super happy it did, I’ve fallen out of touch with Pokémon, last game I played was let’s go, and then before that was fire red 😂😂 but your videos are inspiring me to check them all out

Here before this video appears on news sites

Wow Internally i wanted a shiny galar pokemon And guess what? Shiny perrserker appeared and i hasn't registered one And i caughted it Is very special for me

That’s hugely impressive. I shiny hunt via Pokémon GO and Sword and Shield mostly nowadays, and it took me 4 days and over 2031 eggs via the Masada method without a shiny charm just for a shiny Sinistea. I respect your long hunts and I’m glad they ended well

my first shiny was a fever dream it was on SS and I was battling the electrodes int the secret rocket hideout and on my 3rd electrode it was a shiny and it took 5 minutes to process what happened, I caught it and I still have it to this day as i made sure I could transfer it when I needed to just so I could keep it. It was especially cool as it reminded me of the way the pokeballs were in gen 2 on GBC and it felt nostalgic for some reason. I always think back to that exact moment when I find a shiny and was the reason, I always strive to get at least one shiny per generation to pay respect to my first shiny encounter i ran into by accident. Also I named him Dynamo because i was a kid that was obsessed with technology at the time.

When a video release and you realize you are watching the story about a Shiny Hunt that is slightly older than you :0

now that you've been in news articles you can get verified on twitter! congrats and good video!

Reminds me of my Soul Silver hunt for shiny Ho-oh. Didn't have a master ball, it was level 70, and I couldn't lower it's health to 1 since I didn't have false swipe. Found it, it struggled. Second one I found right away and it struggled to death. Third one finally stayed in the ball.

Someone deserves the most dedicated award.

The articles have me dying XD

Took me 5 years to get shiny Dratini so, #relatable.

Congrats! 2:07 - There's a shiny I gave up on: Latias. I was doing it in Dynamax adventures, but got tired of its Surf and Reflect Type shenanigans. (I do have Ultra Moon, in case I want to try again. It will be full odds, though)

Shiny Moltres looks like a chicken that survived the deep frier and is coming flying at you with vengeance in mind.

11yo me getting a shiny legendary in 4 hours: *i am 4 parallel universes ahead of you*

Me who got a shiny moltres on 2 encounters: “I’m sorry, is this a joke that I’m to lucky to understand?”

these videos really inspire me to revive/start hunts. maybe ill pick up the shiny oshawott hunt from white 2 that's kept me company for 6 years. or maybe hunt the full odds random graveller that exploded on me in soul silver. ive got so much time to waste.

The articles make your video sound like some fantasy novel! “Candy Evie was not to be denied!”💀💀
