[LIVE] Shiny Roaming Entei after only 100 seen in Crystal (+ Stadium 2)

- Lost for words, honestly. Shiny Roaming Entei in Crystal after only 100 seen. Even now during editing and uploading, it doesn’t feel real. I really hope that I never beat my fastest hunt after this. I always see people get shinies under 200 encounters and I’ve always thought it would never happen to me but here we go. I’ve started every hunt since my Sneasel in Platinum after 331 encounters wishing for a new fastest hunt but it never happened, until now.
Shiny Entei has a rather different look in Gen 2 than in later generations. Its colours are harsher and darker which I think suits its appearance quite a bit more than in Gen 3 where, while nice, its lighter tone isn’t quite as grabbing.
I initially started this hunt in the VC copy of Crystal but I recently switched to physical cartridges for current (and future) Gen 2 hunts. I do this because I prefer the feel of a Gameboy/GBA SP in my hand than a 3DS. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with VC but as someone who grew up playing Crystal over and over again, it just doesn’t feel right to me personally. I also do this so I can also show the Pokemon I find off in Stadium 2 as I recently modified my N64 for HDMI output. I actually did 50 encounters in the VC copies of Crystal so this Entei technically appeared after only 50 seen on this cartridge. Insane!
This footage was captured using a Gamecube, a Gamecube Player, a real copy of Pokemon Crystal & the GBI software;

I wanted to leave the Gen 2 roamers as long as possible in my roamer quest as they’re very special hunts to me. My favourite trio in my main childhood game. I figured that doing one of them for my 10th Shiny Roamer will be more than amazing, it’s incredible. I’m still lost for words.
The Roamers in Gen 2 have rather interesting mechanics and it’s a topic that I’ve had long discussions with dataminers & fellow hunters. I want to give full credit to GlitchCity user IceFlame whose article from 2016 highlights the method used for this video. They took the time to document the locations in the RAM and took an, in their words, obsessive interest in this topic. I really advise reading through this even if you’re not interested in hunting the Beasts. It’s always interesting to read specific mechanics in my opinion.
forums.glitchcity.info/index....
I also want to thank users from the Pret Discord server for their help in determining the % chance per tile of a roamer appearing which is a crazy low ~0.98% chance with a Repel applied. This is a big difference from Gen 3 in which you have a ~5.5% chance per tile with a Repel applied. These conversations took place almost 3 years ago so I don’t remember usernames but you’re appreciated nonetheless! It’s also a single byte in the data that prevents Suicune from roaming in Crystal which is funny.
I would like to note an additional method that has been used by other shiny hunters and it was documented by Metarkrai. It may actually be slightly faster on average with two systems to hunt specifically Entei using the Burned Tower method (in Gold/Silver only). Entei sees a rather large increase in % chance to be on Route 37. It might be a worthwhile hunt for someone to try for a single Gen 2 Roamer.

I didn't show Entei off in Colosseum to highlight the difference but here you can see it from a fellow hunter; • [LIVE] Shiny Entei in ... (Headphone warning, lol)
Again, massive thank you to those who did the work for making this video possible!
-----------------------------------------------------
Big edit;
My fault. I should have researched more. There is a complete guide including better optimisations for this method with all three Roamers found shiny using it by HangarOfRoam. You can see this here;
• The Mahogany Method: H...
Thank you to those who brought this to my attention in the comments. The original article is the research and it was put into practice by Hangar and he deserves credit for taking the time to show this being down. I apologise for any offense caused by this being overlooked, it wasn't intentional.

Thanks for watching as always;

My new fastest 1/8192 hunt. Insane, hope I never beat it. Follow me on Twitter to stay updated between uploads; twitter.com/Sonikks1
This is the most genuine reaction to such an insanely speedy shiny. This is crazyyyyyyyy!
I like how the video had more views a few minutes after it was published then encounters to get the thing
Why do you hope you never beat it?
@@BlueKhaotix cool shiny to be the fastest
That’s crazy my fastest one was in ultra sun and white 2 when I got shiny virizion after 4 weeks that back in 2018
The shiny sound affect in this game is amazing
I agree
Yeah it’s really nice but nothing will top gen 6
I love it too. Gen 6 shiny sound is super satisfying too.
I think Gen 2s is where it peaks
This "nonsensical commentary" was kinda wholesome ngl. Congrats on this incredibly quick roamer!
@@DigimonVids I can't tell if that's irony, but if it isn't, I highly disagree. Scripted reactions are the worst of the worst, you'd normally see something like that over on aDrives channel. We're here for the honest reactions rather than boring scripts
Having a roamer as your fastest hunt ever is amazing and totally deserved after the Suicune hunt!! Best of luck on getting Raikou, you'll soon have all the roamers!! :D
ShinyHunter Sandslash fr
Love the fact that you said, "I need a drink... Non-alcoholic". Lol
Your reaction is adorable. I'll freak out too if it happened to me. Congrats on the amazing find! :)
Sonikks thank you! I got my shiny Celebi yesterday. After 30k+ encounters. I was hunting this since the release on the vc. It's almost 3 years ago.
Sometimes I lost my motivation. But you gave it back to me. Ever and ever back to me.
My Celebi is named after my first dog which died 2014.
Finally the hunt is over. Couldn't thank you enough for the motivation you gave to me.
Also - Congratulations on the next roaming! That's sick dude! ❤️
Amazing, glad I could keep you motivated. Congrats!!
@@Sonikks Thank you! Even your answer means a lot to me!
I wish you all the best for your next hunts!
You're like a real life Shiny Charm. I bet you would find a two colour lobster if you go to the beach lol.
Wish we can SR irl
Lisa Lisa's Lisa Lisa lol
@@yupa5221its possible, all you need is a gun
Man I am just constantly smiling while watching this, can really hear how much it means, absolutely over the moon for you! Hope this stays your shortest hunt for years to come, huge congrats :)
I’m speechless on how quick you’ve gotten this shiny, it is really funny knowing that your quickest shiny hunt is a roamer good job on getting this shiny and keep up the roamer quest!
Don’t cringe man, you’re hype!! Don’t feel bad about it, that’s an insane thing to happen and you reacted appropriately!!
I think that was the best reaction we've ever seen from Sonikks so great reaction and you finally deserve a fast and beautiful shiny! Keep it up man!
Love Shiny Entei in gen2. S tier shiny, huge congrats Steve!! I love the Show offs in stadium as well. Great video!
Thank you Cabbage, I still can't believe it lol
Your genuine elation brought a smile to my face. I'm glad you got a super fast hunt!
After seeing this Entei on twitter the other day, I’m still have no words on how insanely lucky this is. Congrats again Steve!
Just subbed to your channel, interesting hunts!
Pale has awesome content so thank you for taking the time to check him out :)
Thank you Pale!
Ive been watching you for years and you were both the one who introduced me to shinies and inspired me to shiny hunt. keep up with the amazing content and good luck with all future hunts!
I appreciate that!
New subscriber. Love that you go back to the older games and do these hunts, it fillls the nostalgia hole in me. Keep up the good work / videos, congrats on the entei as well.
Nice! There is something really special about gen 2 shinies to me, honestly.
early gen shinies are real shinies
It sounded like you were about to cry tears of joy! Congrats man, wish I had your luck
You had me cracking up at, "I feel like I'm going to faint!" xD Hahaha too funny! That's such an epic moment, I definitely can relate to the feeling! Congratulations on this shiny roamer, certainly a huge accomplishment!
This is awesome! Congrats! Also, thank you for the very informative description. Very interesting!
Man this hunt looks like such a pain to even check 1. And you got it in 100! Super Congrats man!
Jesus dude this brings me back! Incredible shiny video again bro, keep them coming!
What an astounding shiny this is. Congrats, Steve! This is such a feat!
This is absolutely insane! Congrats on the amazing shiny!
I love that you're shiny hunting in the older games, like gen 1-3. Especially gen 2, since it's my favourite gen and game. What a shiny, keep it up! :)
This is by far one of your best and one of my favorite videos that you've done. You can tell it in your reaction how much this meant to you. May this be your fastest hunt for many years and a huge congrats on this epic find! 💯
Wow, thank you!
Wow, this is just incredible Steve. Congratulations. The legendary dogs are amazing Shinies :]
One of my fave vids, the non sensical commentary reminds me of the excitement of my first shiny, congrats again :)
Legitimately insane, congrats on such a nice shiny so fast!
Dude don't apologize for your reaction to a Shiny Roaming Entei in Gen 2.
Your reaction was legit and it seemed like you finally got what you were looking for (a short shiny hunt). I loved seeing your genuine reaction because that's how I felt shiny hunting for the Shiny Fossils in Gen 8 and getting my favorite fossil pokemon which was Dracovish.
Keep up the good work man, your videos are inspiring!!
what an incredible stroke of luck!! major congrats steve. also, i love the art you used for your layout! top-notch content as per usual
Wow big congrats! Hunting in gen 2 is my favorite type of hunting, love seeing other people hunt there too. Something about gen 2 that makes hunting shinies all that more worth it when you finally find it.
Damn steve congrats brother! Always happy to see the new hunts but this one is mad bro!!!
Congrats man! Insane isn’t even the word for this! Great video
absolutely nuts, dude! huge congrats! :)
Unbelievable stuff Steve! Huge props for this shiny!
This is awsome congrats on the super rare shiny you earned this hunt and this is a supper awsome hunt to be your fastest hunt your hunts are always awesome to watch keep hunting man
thats awesome man its always amazing seing shinies so early on in a hunt.
congrats on such a quick hunt! so cool to see people hunting in gen 2!
LOVE your videos, man!
My fastest shiny hunt ended up being on my Crystal VC with Suicune at the Bell Tower shining after only 48 encounters! I was blown away at how fast I got it.
Got to love the seizure-inducing shiny animation of second gen.
So happy for you - 100 seen! What a nice round number too :)
This reaction
I’m currently beginning of game starter hunting snivy and fennekin it’s great that you found a shiny I wish you luck on future hunts
I got a shiny starter tepig in around 400 tries and froakie in exactly 762 tries, good luck in your hunt.
Good luck! I’m going for tepig myself and I’m just over 300 resets
Good luck with both! Although I heard that in gen 6 X and y, it takes forever between soft resets.
I gave up on starter hunting snivy after about 3 weeks of resetting all day, every day. I guess that was the right move though, because I caught a full odds shiny munna in the Dreamyard a couple hours into my playthrough.
@@matthiasdinkelbach1661 lol if you would've kept going you would've had snivy instead
Congrats steve. I love a fast hunt. Always exiting
Brrooo so inspirational your on the grind and I’m SUPER impressed
thank you for the guide!! i have so many hunts planned for this game already, but i cant wait!! gonna be my first roaming hunt ever.
Congrats on that super quick hunt, happy for you
i would've thought that this would take forever unbelievable you got it that fast GZ!!
What a reaction! Congrats on the awesome shiny Sonikks :) I love your content
HOLY SHIT. Congrats Sonikks!!! That's actually insane
Really cool hunt! I recently started shiny hunting in gen 3 because of you, and all of your videos are a huge inspiration. Don't know if I'll go for any shiny roamers, but I'm having fun both watching and playing nevertheless!
you deserve more publicity bruh you make amazing content.
Insane luck!! Also a pretty unique hunt. Congrats!
INSPIRING as always Steve congrats buddy 👏
Your dedication in the hunt inspires me.
WOW that's the biggest reaction I've heard from you!
Holy crap, what an amazing capture this is!
Congratulations man, this is so awesome and sincere, I love it :)
Really wholesome those oh my gods, it might be cringe for you, but I liked it very much.
Instant nostalgia when I found my first hunted shiny ever, also a Cyndaquil on Crystal, it took 11 months.
Still haven't found a affordable way to back-up my saves, but I cloned it and put him in Stadium 2
This is absolutely insane!!! Congratulations on this incredible shiny! It looks amazing in gen 2
crazy cool hunt with crazy good luck, huge congrats dude
Yoooo I LOVE this, major congrats!! This is giving me vibes of when I found my shiny Cyndaquil in HG after around 200 soft resets [it was more than that but not to 300, I don't remember the exact number]. But still, this definitely tops my experience by a long shot! Can't wait to finally stop procrastinating and get through VC Crystal already to hunt Celebi lol.
Congrats on the quick shiny! Reminds me of when I lucked out with a shiny Chimchar at around 50 SRs in dp and freaked out. Hope you have more quick shiny hunts in the future.
I feel like a lot of people have had some insane roamer luck lately, congrats Steve! This is such a cool hunt to be your fastest!
Thank you LJ. Congrats on your Cresselia too. Not on Twitter much these days but I heard you got it!
Sonikks thanks Steve. Yours and Hangar’s roamers really made me want to try one, glad I did!
When you said you cringed at your commentary I literally paused the video just to say, "But you deserve to be happy!" Being excited because you achieved something, especially something you unexpected, is never cringe; you deserved this!!
Thank you so much omg
@@Sonikks You're welcome! :) You're my favorite shiny hunter! You deserve all the luck! If only I was as lucky heh
Edit: I'll put the edit for the first comment here: something -you- unexpected
I just got Crystal on my 3DS last night and on the 297 reset I got my shiny starter Totodile!!! Luckiest hunt ever! I was freaking out! My first gen 2 shiny!! Watching your vids made me want to try a gen 2 full odds hunt and I am so stoked I did!!!
I like this outro screen the most. Congrats on the roaming entei!
Such incredible luck!! Congrats man so stoked for you. Gotta say you're my favorite shiny hunter love watching your vids. The only shiny legendary I've ever found was on my Silver VC, I accidentally knocked out Lugia with a crit while trying to capture it so I SR and when I encountered it again she was shiny I couldn't believe it a part of me still doesn't lol
Major congrats dude! 100 seen that’s nuts!!! 👍
Congrats on this fast super fast hunt Steve!
Congrats dude! Doing my own shiny dream team for ss right now. Currently sr for a starter, don't mind what. These videos are so motivating!
Can't beat Crystal's sprite artwork and animations... It was like a whole new game for me at age 5. Congrats on the extremely quick one! Jeezzz
Very lucky and to have this as your quickest hunt must feel very good
no words can explain how this man feels, I'm happy for you
Got one of your videos recommended. I love your content! Greetings from Germany :)
GG! Wanted to hunt Raikou in this Gen but was worried i'll definitely do it now, thanks!
Interesting, when I was a kid playing silver version I was told (playground rumors and the like) that when trying to encounter the roaming beasts that you couldn't ride your bike or run or listen to the radio or it would scare them away 😂
I loved this! Hearing the sheer excitement, disbelief, and the utter shock is always awesome! Top notch shiny and super happy it was your fastest hunt yet. Definitely one for the books man! Congrats brotha❤️🎉
You’re so lucky it’s incredible I wish you to have more and more quick hunts
Congrats! Entei is my favorite Pokémon and I love this shiny. Gonna try this hunt!
I've been watching you for years and that is the first time your commentary has been just complete garbage after a shiny (in the best way!) it sounds like your mind had caved in ahahah. Congrats bro, proud of you
Thought this was a hate comment at first, lol
Congrats, dude! I find it funny that we both got a REALLY QUICK shiny not too far apart. At the end of June, I got a Shiny Mewtwo in SoulSilver after only 76! Also, love the reaction! Good luck on the hunts!
Congrats on the lightning quick hunt!!
Congrats on the wicked fast hunt!
Congrats on your quickest shiny hunt and insane that it’s a gen 2 roamer!
Still crazy you have gotten it so quickly, huge congrats Steve such an amazing shiny and hugely deserved!
Thank you MassagingSisters!
OP!!, Felicidades por tu Shiny Entei man.
damn nice hunt dude happy for you!
Honestly man I just want to say that you’re my new favorite shiny hunter. Your HGSS hunt inspired me to hunt on my own, and I was able to get a shiny totodile from it after 1 cyndaquil seen. Also I don’t even know if you are human man, you have to be the god of patience lol
Danke! Thank you!
i love these shiny's in gen 2! crazy hunt! congrats man.
Beautiful! Major congrats!!
Saw 100 in the title and never clicked faster!! well done :D
huge congrats!! you deserved a short roamer hunt!
I am hype. Shiney Entei and Entei in general are my all time favorited. Even Raikou looks amazing!
That's really quick! Especially for a roamer that takes quite a bit more active work than just standing in front of a sprite and resetting.
My quickest 1/8192 hunt was for Shiny Celebi in Crystal VC. I was expecting months, but it was after 64 resets. I don't think I'll ever be that lucky again.
Congrats on this very early, but extremely cool shiny !
GGs my god that is some incredible luck congrats
congrats man! You deserve it!
Huge congratz dude
That a such an epic hunt 😃 Congratulations
Well done on finding Entei so fast. I recently managed to catch a Shiny Teddiursa in Dark Cave and I was only looking for a regular one
That's insane wow, congrats!
Crazy hunt !!! Congrats man
