Shiny Corphish in Pokemon Sapphire after 9,039 fishing encounters(Water Monotype #4) 

These really are so underrated in this gen!!! Didn't realize crawfish were an invasive species over there! Makes sense why this line is the most abundant it's ever been in the Galar region

Looks incredible dude, so good seeing it in 3rd gen!!

I remember as a kid we would go fishing specifically for Crayfish (we called it “Crawdad Hunting”) and we would literally take a stick and a string and tie a hot dog at the end of it and go to the stream nearby to catch crawdads. It was so clear you could watch them crawl out of the rocks and grab the hot dogs 😆

Corphish was, and remains, my dream shiny. As a now-25 year old, I remember at 14 when I re-discovered my copy of Emerald that I had played when I was 7. I realize this sentence is confusing -- but at 14, it was intensely nostalgic to play a game I'd played at 7. When DP came out, I had transferred all of my Pokemon to the new games. So when I loaded my old Emerald file, I discovered the only survivor of this purge to be.. you guessed it, an odd Corphish. I named him Jared. Well, from that point on, my gameplay revolved not around the storyline, but around that Corphish. First I bred Jared, then his children had babies, and so forth.... Over time I created different "clans" of Corphish fighting for territory (the Pokemon PC boxes), simulating massive battles, soul-crushingly releasing ("killing") the unfortunate losers, and imagining a world filled with lore and history for this tribe of Corphishes. I spent afternoons hatching Corphishes, just for them to meet regrettable demises as the ambushed victims of PC Box 13. Jared's descendants spread to GEN III, IV, V, VI, and PokeBank... yet among all his thousands of progeny, not one of them was ever a shiny. My games are long lost now too, so none of his descendants ever will be. 😢

Corphish was something that didn't hit me as a kid. I liked to see it in the anime but in game I just didn't have the necessity to have it. But after watching this video, I got interest in trying it out in the future specially on how stunning it looks in gen 3 :) Also congrats on your finished hunts so far this year! It's an impressive list and hope you can add more until the last minute. Good luck for Relicanth/Clampearl hope its a quick one ;)

Underrated is an understatement when speaking about this shiny! Corphish looks incredible

I love these shiny challenges congrats on everything so far!

So glad I managed to catch this live. Congrats on the shiny!

The team is shaping up really nicely Steve! Love the shiny sprites for both Corphish and Crawdaunt in gen 3, congrats!

Steve out here performing what I had set to do with all these fishing hunts! 💥 Grats man corphish is a sick shiny!

This has been a really fun series of hunts to watch both on stream and here on RU-vid :)

Love this shiny. One of my goals too, such an underrated Pokemon in general. Awesome vid!

Corphish was actually my first ever shiny in Ruby and at the time, I hardly knew what shinies were. I was just hunting for a strong Corphish by Mauville City and happened upon it after hunting for a couple hours. Sadly I ended up losing my precious Crawdaunt in Platinum after the cartridge was stolen. Seeing your video is such a nice little reminder of the time I caught it which I remember very vividly. :)

Dang such an awesome shiny! Huge congrats again dude!

The Zigzagoon nicknamed "MeatyClaws" really got me. 😂 These shinies looks so great in 3rd gen., especially Crawdaunt's. Also, I love the fishing hunts! They are pretty time consuming, but it's really cool seeing you get shinies that not too many others may try for; really gives them some attention that they deserve. Congrats on these!

love the bubblegum pink corphish has, especially in this gen. definitely a future target of mine as well! congrats!

Looks incredibly awesome my dude , so good seeing it in 3rd gen

Congratz on the Corphish, makes me wanna go back and Gen 3 hunt ngl (love the zigzagoon nickname lmao)

Amazing find! This Mon has such a. Cool color. Just got off a sail boat and watched this!

Congrats on Shiny Corphish! I think the fishing hunts are nice, but they are very slow for sure. Also Crawdaunt very strong in comp with dragon dance and adaptability, swords dance aqua jet, even endeavor aqua jet with a focus sash is fun.

Love the gen 3 content man.. never gets old.

Letsego Champ, Love the fishing hunts! I am excited for the clamperl, i am hunting it as well 👀

Very nice! Congrats man!

Best shiny hunter on youtube, nice find man!

i specially enjoy gen 3 hunts from you!

I think FEs when the encounters are guaranteed are lowkey really chill

Crawdaunt is an extremely good attacker competitively. But it's only issue that is that it's a slow glass canon basically. Though honestly, it's very good when used under the right circumstances. As a fellow Crawdaunt enjoyer, this was a cool hunt to see

I'm glad you hunt in gen 3 because gen 3 is my favorite. Congrats on corphish

Awesome! And I totally agree with crawdaunt and corphish being criminally underrated. I personally love having crawdaunt on my team, they are very strong and bulky

Congrats on that underrated shiny! I finally ordered a custom ds Lite so I'll be able to play all the GBA games. I plan on hunting in the 3d gens when I get the chance; I'm super excited for it! :D

Great shiny men and a great video

Congrats, wonderful shiny

Crawdaunt and corphish are both one of my favorite ever pokemon, love the shiny!

Congrats man!

what do you use for the encounter rates? also congrats on the great shiny!

I love the OH YES! idk why but it sounded really funny to me lol.

Man Corphish is cute! I’d probably called it Peach and don’t evolve it ^^ Also, Crawdaunt kinda has an ahegau face in Collosseum 😂

Carwdaunt did get pretty decent in gen 6 for the reasons you stated though it was pretty bad in gens 3-5, that said it's a super cool looking pokemon for sure

You deserve every one of these man

Congrats on the shiny. Funny enough ik the context for the gatekeeping shiny convo XD

Wow! I never realized how good that shiny is until now! 100% encounter rate definitely is a plus! I always psych myself out of doing fishing encounters because it requires a little more attention than normal encountering, but maybe its not as bad as I think?

It’s such a underrated shiny it’s really incredible!

Four down, two more to go

Congratulations

Dope, fishing ones are nice

Beautiful big meaty claws! ✨

I LOVE CORPHISH!! THE LITTLE GUY WOOOO

Is there a repel trick for it in gen 5? I’d like to hunt it

Crawdaunt's gen3 sprite is amazing. And Corphish is really good too. Also yes, they are invasive in the UK. No idea why people released them here.

meatyclaws the Zigzagoon is a huge trooper here

0:21 what website do you use to show the encounter rates?

I just caught up on watching this DTQ a few days ago. What are the odds

I hate when evolutions don't follow through on the shiny colors of the pre-evo, especially when they're the perfect color for that line. Crawdaunt is definitely one of them, it'd look sooo good with shiny Corphish's hot pink instead of the orange. Still ain't a bad shiny but shiny Corphish is just so darn pretty :(

Steve, my brother, why you lying to urself lol it looks exactly the same as it’s normal sprite in coliseum for both stages. Either way congrats man!

Shiny Crawdaunt looks so good in Gen 3.

One day during those Colosseum showcases that Noctowl is gonna be Shiny

I love the name of the zigzagoon

🦈: BIG MEATY CLAWS!

nice

Let’s go!!!!

Shame that Corphish/Crawdaunt are not very good in Gen 3, what with being physical attackers when both Water and Dark type moves are both special in this gen.. The physical/special split really helped them. Nice shinies though!

i’d like the 44 minute uncut version pls

Cool!

does this water monotype challenge mean water type shinies that have 2 typings?

Relacanth is gonna take forever

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Wishcash is so nice shiny

You called Zigzagoon MeatyClaws but you didn't call Corphish Mr Krabs!? I still give the Ziggy 8/8 for effort m8

Why not hunt kyogre in this quest?

Corpishand and crawdawnt are such forgettable mons when gen 3 was out, i literally just knew their existence because of the anime

Oh Shit I'm early

Sonikks can you become my dad please🥺?

L reaction

Congratulations
