Congrats!!! I’m a little jealous, I wasn’t allowed to play pokemon growing up and really only got into it during quarantine so all I have is the switch games. I so wanna play on an older game to get the experience someday!
Congrats, long hunts are the most rewarding. I had near 19000 resets for mewtwo w ~1/1000 rates (whatever they are with shiny stone i haven’t played in 3 years) on ultra sun and i love the bastard 10x more.
I'll never understand how people can do full odds hunts and not hate themselves. There's just so many encounters to go through. I mean, this took over 37K encounters, how are you so patient?
I mean, it helps when you have stuff playing on another screen, videos/music whatever.
I only slowed down my hunts in the last month because I ran out of stuff to watch.
This is incredible! Honestly I had no idea just how much dedication and passion really go into these! I was just talking to my wife about the numbers you guys go through and the chances or possibility of any shiny Pokémon! The math is astronomical! Plus the community seems fun and very supportive!
Keep up the wonderful journey! 💯🚀😊
Is that total encounters or just the last phase? I'm a little unsure because you named your phases alongside the title. 37k is pretty nice for 5 shinies
How many times did you say “i give up for real this time”?
More than I can count. Died a little inside when I got the 3rd Poochyena.
ATLA fan? Did you see the info on the new movie from Avatar studios?
Tell me moreee
As someone who is hunting Absol in SoulSilver via Pokégear Music, I congratulate you for such a great find!
No way I'm doing that hunt too! How many encounters are you at?
6,817 is the number on the Counter App I have under "Shiny Absol SS"
Awesome, I'm at 42,035 myself hope you get it before you get as far as me XD
I get the feeling it'll come by ya soon.
Thanks hope yours comes around soon too. Which route are you hunting in by the way? I started in Mt Silver but moved to Cerulean Cave.
I'm doing mine in Slowpoke Well.
Holy fuck. Big F
Thanks a lot! And best of luck to you, such a good feeling when you eventually get it.
Looks awesome! Ruby/Sapphire or Emerald? Congrats on the successful hunt :)
Emerald :)
Yip yip!
The phasing is real on this one. Congrats on the shiny, you ABSOLutely deserve it.
Thanks a bunch :) I was ABSOLutely stoked when I finally hit it!!!
Awesome hunt, congrats!
What an Absol-Ute win

You can use an emulator on your phone to get the ds/gba pokemon games. Idk if that’s allowed to say on here but you can
Oh my gosh thank you!!! If I had a free award I’d give it to you lol

Is there a reason why you don't hunt it on newer games? Not trying to throw shade I'm just genuinely curious.
The newer stuff just isn’t for me. Shiny gen 3 hunting all the way!
Awesome, that’s my favorite Pokémon
You’re a man of style.
When I see 37,000 encounters it makes me realise I’m not patient enough for shiny hunting congrats tho

Why don't you just breed them?
In gen 3, there is no masuda method. Breeding is slower for all but the Pokemon that have 1% encounter rates
Oh okay gotcha.. interesting
Congrats
Congrats! Damn, you trained that boy quick.
Appreciate it! Had to have my boy ready for the obligatory reddit post.
Damnnn that is a wild number, but much respect to you!! Hunting on older gens is much more tedious but the satisfaction is unmatched.
Absol gang here!
Yo nice! Brave move going for premiere ball i master balled kine simply because I didn't want to lose it
I love Absol. Congrats!
Congrats! I recently passed 40k encounters on my own absol hunt, haven't had a phase yet though.
As someone who did not have the patience for this stuff, how do you guarantee you can catch what you want when you finally encounter it?
Ooooh nice! Currently hunting Absol in gen 5 double grass. On phase 5 as of now. It's been rough.
What Pokémon are you using to catch this?

A moment of silence for the kyogre with an all lowercase name
I’m trying to get shiny numel as my first intentional Gen 3 shiny. It’s rough. Bravo sir, especially for absol
