[LIVE] Shiny Safari Zone Chansey CAUGHT after 896 random encounters! (328,930 total) 

Shiny Chansey caught from FireRed LeafGreen Safari Zone. Here's a video I was beginning to think I would never make and upload for you guys to watch. This is by far my proudest and rarest shiny currently in my collection.
I had seen 4 Chansey in total before catching which is a little under the expected amount using the Bait trick though when you consider that I threw a ball at the first one, 3 in total is very generous in terms of RNG. The heartbreak of seeing two of them flee during Safari Week first turn, first bait was horrendous and it did knock my confidence a bit. After a small break, I knew I had to catch her and I wasn't going to stop phasing until I did. Literally two hours after finishing my Roamer Quest on stream, I found her again and well, the video will do the rest of the talking. RNG is cruel but it can be so kind as well. I keep saying this but I don't think I'll ever top that night as a shiny hunter.
Also really random but I was listening to Billie Eilish when I found her. Shout out to you Billie.

If you're curious at all about the bait method, please see this document by ProfessorRex who took his time to understand the Safari mechanics and collect his research;

Without this research, there is every opportunity that I would never have added this amazing shiny to my Gen 3 collection. Please support his Twitch here; / brofessorslab
