I am going to take this as a good omen, Because me and my brother were playing through Ultra sun and moon at basically the same rate, and we got to where you get blacephalon/stakataka, and we decided to shiny hunt them. long story short, I got Blacephalon, and my brother still hasn't gotten Stakataka, however, in the meantime I shiny hunted Xerneas on Ultra Sun and got it. So with this strange coincidence of mirrored shinies, I feel quite good about my brother's odds of snagging Shiny Stakataka.
Your videos are so fun to watch! I love how genuine you are and how you make it seems like you're really on a pokemon adventure. It's easy to see how much you love these games and your enthusiasm is so refreshing. Keep doing what you're doing!
Thank you!! Since I set out on this hunt with the intention of getting both of them and not really stopping until I had both, I figured I'd just make it all one video to motivate me to keep hunting after finding the first one
Incredible that you got all these so fast! Makes me excited to some day soon get off my butt and hunt in these games lol. ive a feeling the snow condor is your next target :3
Thank you!! These games have been treating me very well so far. -knocks on wood- There are some great hunts in these games; should be fun when you start to hunt in them! The snow condor (refreshing to not hear it be called "bacon bird") is on my list of future hunts :D
Congrats, Matt! I always love the irl intros you put together for your videos. They're so unique within the community. Congrats again on the lovely shinies!
I enjoy it, too! It's kind of relaxing to watch someone else hunt while hunting. I just figured I'd include that timestamp just in case since it was a little bit longer amount of soft resets than I usually include in my videos. Also, best of luck with that. Hope you find it soon! It's an incredible shiny
Nice job bud! That’s awesome how quick you got your shinies! Definitely luckier than my New Year Suicune hunt (WITH the charm) that took exactly 485 SRs!
Congrats man!! The luck here is insane, I have Charm and still you got both Blacephalon and Xerneas in less resets than I, haha! Good luck with finishing up Virizion, I guess that one sorta makes up for it, haha.
I don't keep a track of my number of resets as I hunt whilst watching TV and I just find it easier but currently hunting Stakataka at full odds, taking me so long!
That is really cool you choose to hunt them both in one video, with Xerneas as well! I think this is what is going to make me go and hunt Xerneas right now so now I'm excited from watching this video! Also I was going to name my Tsareena if I get one while hunting Passimian at some point Camilla from the hair from FE. That is insane xD
Dude with that Lonely natured Stakataka, if you fully invest in Attack it will be higher than its Defense, so you can Beast Boost Attack! Spam Gyro Ball dude xD Super cool especially because I didn't see a Synchronizer for it! Awesome video, I quite liked the intro :D
How did you get your xerneas so quick? Mine finally showed up after 15000 sr and I caught it in a beast ball. Anyway, congrats on the super quick shinys!
OMG congrats man! :D that is so aweseome! I have also found a shiny Pheromosa (my fav ultra beat in shiny) and a shiny Nihilego. I Hope you star amazing, and have a great Christmas!
DUUUUUDE I literally just got shiny Blacephalon while watching this!!! 150 encounters with the Shiny Charm (1200 if I count the SR encounters before I got the Charm)...and Timid Sync worked! I'm so syked! 😁😁😁
Got Nihilego and Pheromosa in my shiny gauntlet, guzzlord in my US trial quest, and I just gotta get Buzzwole, Xurkitree, Kartana, and Poipole. Maybe someday!!
how do you softreset with the 3ds like this? i usually do R+L+start+select. is there another way? i always have to take it into my hand an dput down the second 3ds which makes it kind of annoying
Beautiful xerneas. I just got mine a month ago. When i first played ultra sun like what? 3 years ago? I shiny hunted both blacephalons full odds. I recently came back for the rest of the charm. I’m going for the wormhole beasts and poipole now.
PLEASE HELP ME! I have no idea why people soft reset for blacephalon. You can just encounter it again. When I was looking for a riolu in that area I just ran from all the blacephalon and they still kept spawning. I also found a shiny 1 and failed it cause I didn’t have beast balls
Watching this video, just set up my 3 systems for my sr for shiny starter Oshawott in b+w and I get it on the first reset after... Haha this is insane. 5601 resets total. Must be the Absol luck!
lol I think I kept doing it to look in my rear-view mirror to look for other cars because I stopped on the shoulder of a highway near a place that kind of looked like Poni Grove to film it
Nintendo made a "I'm tired and don't feel like having the multi-colored antlers" form just so people would think for a second that they got a shiny after catching it XD
How did you have 5 rainbow beans before you fed him and 5 rainbow beans still after you fed him? Is that an ultra beast thing I haven’t made it that far in the game
I got stakataka but not Blacephalon. haven't tried Blacephalon yet but will at some point. got the stakataka after finding a random shiny buneary (stakataka took like 3k+ and buneary took like 2k)
That's a really cool hunt! I might go for it sometime in the future! Taking a slight break from hunting for a little bit to work on a level 100 gauntlet first
Due to this video I remembered the type null encounter right before this, and wondered if it could be shiny hunted. Welp, 8,000 encounters and almost a full year later I can tell you that type null is shiny huntable and advise against it. Also 2,000 encounters into blaceph and still going.
I got a shiny Xerneas and accidentally soft reset over them (what happens way to much to me I really need to be more careful) but I ended up getting one with a Modest nature what’s pretty good, never gonna use it competitive but if I wanted too I could also I caught them in a DiveBall so they’re PokéBall matches them.
I got my shiny stakataka after between 5-7 random encounters. I wasn't even looking for the shiny at the time as I wanted to get the shiny charm first, I had my calm synchronise natu with me as well so when it suddenly appeared I just stared in disbelief for a bit. First two times I encountered it I just defeated it so I could progress further into the island, the third time I gave up because it's typing made false swipe difficult and I wanted to come up with a better plan and once or twice after when I was going through the area. The next time I forgot my calm synchronise natu so I had to run and go back to my pc for it and then the next time it was shiny! Had calm nature too which was super dope edit: my mistake, it was impish. The calm one was my shiny lugia (that took a day and a half)
I’m really fricking glad that GF did something awesome for a change to NOT shiny lock Xerneas and Yvetal sorry for butchering the name since ppl have to fricking cheat in XY to shiny hunt them .. I can’t wait to do this hunt
I really loved the intro & how you hunted them both at the same time!! Congrats Matt
thanks dude! Thought it would be a very silly idea to do the whole music skit, so I immediately went out and filmed it
🥳
AbsolBlogsPokemon when have you hesitated to be silly
@@AbsolBlogsPokemon hi!
Loved the "What the heck" for the Xerneas!
LOL thank you! Surprised I reacted beyond my usual "Oh my gosh!"

?
hope he got it now ToT
Blacephalon looks like something you'd find in Gen 5, yet I love it. I love my weird rainbow clown son.
Your videos are so fun to watch! I love how genuine you are and how you make it seems like you're really on a pokemon adventure. It's easy to see how much you love these games and your enthusiasm is so refreshing. Keep doing what you're doing!
I found a shiny while watching. I really think your content gives me good luck! Love your videos.
Three shinies in one video!? You just deserve more views for this.
Thank you!! Since I set out on this hunt with the intention of getting both of them and not really stopping until I had both, I figured I'd just make it all one video to motivate me to keep hunting after finding the first one
Seeing that shiny Xerneas inspires me to keep filling my pokedex for the shiny charm
Incredible that you got all these so fast! Makes me excited to some day soon get off my butt and hunt in these games lol. ive a feeling the snow condor is your next target :3
Thank you!! These games have been treating me very well so far. -knocks on wood-
There are some great hunts in these games; should be fun when you start to hunt in them!
The snow condor (refreshing to not hear it be called "bacon bird") is on my list of future hunts :D
True men catch their shiny legendaries in Beast Balls.
Sobol14 I plan on trying to do that in the future!
Good luck then.From my experience, have at least 200 beast balls ready and use the Leppa+Harvest strategy.
Congrats, Matt! I always love the irl intros you put together for your videos. They're so unique within the community. Congrats again on the lovely shinies!
And here I am, just running through grass for a shiny at trainer school. Awesome luck, man, keep it up!
Thank you!!! Hope a well-educated shiny shows up soon!
AbsolBlogsPokemon Haha same here, I thought the starter reset would be rough but this is just insane. I'm well over odds
Another ultra amazing video!!! 3 shinies for the price of one video admission! What a deal! I feel like I am at the Thrifty Mega Mart! Congrats!
>Skip to 7:59
No thanks, it's rather satisfying to see the regular process of SRs. Then again, I've also started a shiny hunt for shiny Stakataka.
I enjoy it, too! It's kind of relaxing to watch someone else hunt while hunting. I just figured I'd include that timestamp just in case since it was a little bit longer amount of soft resets than I usually include in my videos. Also, best of luck with that. Hope you find it soon!

0:25 this mans creativity I swear 💯
Nice job bud! That’s awesome how quick you got your shinies! Definitely luckier than my New Year Suicune hunt (WITH the charm) that took exactly 485 SRs!
6 years late but that’s lucky with the charm, the odds are 1/1365
Congrats on all three of your shinies! :D
thank you!
I was busy with school but now I'm back and I'm glad I can hunt again! Congrats!
Awesome!! Good luck! and thanks
Yeah no prob
Congrats man!! The luck here is insane, I have Charm and still you got both Blacephalon and Xerneas in less resets than I, haha! Good luck with finishing up Virizion, I guess that one sorta makes up for it, haha.
Thank you!! I can't believe they appeared so quickly myself! Goes to show how random hunting really is at the end of the day
I like the intro so much! I also hunted stakataka and got him after 2000 soft resets:D
Thank you!!! And congrats on your brick jenga thing!
I don't keep a track of my number of resets as I hunt whilst watching TV and I just find it easier but currently hunting Stakataka at full odds, taking me so long!
Wow Absol, that is some sweet luck! Congrats on the awesome shinies. I am currently hunting for Blacephalon. x')
That is really cool you choose to hunt them both in one video, with Xerneas as well! I think this is what is going to make me go and hunt Xerneas right now so now I'm excited from watching this video!

I was watching this whilst shiny hunting and as you ran I to shiny xerneas I ran into a shiny rockruff!
Seeing this video today and realizing these games are 6 years old makes me feel very old 😂
Dude with that Lonely natured Stakataka, if you fully invest in Attack it will be higher than its Defense, so you can Beast Boost Attack! Spam Gyro Ball dude xD Super cool especially because I didn't see a Synchronizer for it! Awesome video, I quite liked the intro :D
You need more subs
blacephalon fainting animation is amazing and my favorite animation of any pokemon
How did you get your xerneas so quick? Mine finally showed up after 15000 sr and I caught it in a beast ball. Anyway, congrats on the super quick shinys!
Just really good luck I guess! Thank you and grats on the beast ball Xerneas!
Congrats on those 3 amazing shinies!! :D
Thanks Tibo!
Omg shiny blacephalon *thud* XD I love ur shiny reactions
First thing I think of when I see the intro
GRASS! BRICKS!
OMG congrats man! :D that is so aweseome! I have also found a shiny Pheromosa (my fav ultra beat in shiny) and a shiny Nihilego. I Hope you star amazing, and have a great Christmas!
Love an old absol vid popping up on my recommended
Looking back on the ultra beasts , they're some seriously underrated shinies...
How wild would it have been if the second Blacephalon was shiny as well.
Congrats man!!! I love that shiny
Thank you!! me too!
Congrats man. I got my shiny Stakataka recently. It was sassy nature. :-)
I'm SRing the first stakataka now. But because I'm insane, I'm going to go for BOTH of them shiny, like I did with blacephalon
DUUUUUDE I literally just got shiny Blacephalon while watching this!!! 150 encounters with the Shiny Charm (1200 if I count the SR encounters before I got the Charm)...and Timid Sync worked! I'm so syked! 😁😁😁
Classic Bruce getting the Nature right
Cam I haven’t gotten any nature guesses in like in a while .. so its nice for a change to get one
How does he soft reset without ising the shoulder buttons (L and R). Has he taped them down?
Motivated after watching this video. Are you coming back for the other ultra beasts too?
Got Nihilego and Pheromosa in my shiny gauntlet, guzzlord in my US trial quest, and I just gotta get Buzzwole, Xurkitree, Kartana, and Poipole. Maybe someday!!
@@AbsolBlogsPokemon don't forget about the big boss Necrozma (debatable) and Celesteela. Most of those you still need are god tier shinies.
@@annevanmeeuwen7995 oh yeah I got Celesteela a long while back!!
The ultra beasts look so cool, totally out of place. Managed to get 6 shiny up until now, even the poipole
how do you softreset with the 3ds like this? i usually do R+L+start+select. is there another way? i always have to take it into my hand an dput down the second 3ds which makes it kind of annoying
I put a rubber band around L and R on my 3ds so I only have to press start. Just make sure you remove the rubber band when you encounter the shiny!!!
Beautiful xerneas. I just got mine a month ago. When i first played ultra sun like what? 3 years ago? I shiny hunted both blacephalons full odds. I recently came back for the rest of the charm. I’m going for the wormhole beasts and poipole now.
Stakataka gets shut twice rip Stakataka
maybe that's why it took the longest out of the 3 to shine
PLEASE HELP ME! I have no idea why people soft reset for blacephalon. You can just encounter it again. When I was looking for a riolu in that area I just ran from all the blacephalon and they still kept spawning. I also found a shiny 1 and failed it cause I didn’t have beast balls

I like how you keep doing that head turn thing idk why
lol I think I kept doing it to look in my rear-view mirror to look for other cars because I stopped on the shoulder of a highway near a place that kind of looked like Poni Grove to film it
I got a Xerneas and it's antlers were blue and for a second I thought I had gotten a shiny
Nintendo made a "I'm tired and don't feel like having the multi-colored antlers" form just so people would think for a second that they got a shiny after catching it XD
Congrats!
How did you have 5 rainbow beans before you fed him and 5 rainbow beans still after you fed him? Is that an ultra beast thing I haven’t made it that far in the game
ImpossibRu the first thing he fed was not a rainbow bean it was a rare yellow one
Amazing Matt !!! That shiny Xerneas tho .. 3 incredible fricking shinies .. oh and thanks again for putting my nature guess and etc
Congrats on guessing right!
So the only way to get a shiny ultra beast or any legendaries pokemon also in different versions is just by doing SR?
yep
I thought stakataka was shiny locked as well as some others..?
I'm watching for good luck, having a hard time with my current Helioptile hunt
and the pokémon with synchronize, why not use?
you caught your stakataka on my birthday lol
Congrats! Awesome shinies :)
thank you very much!
3:48 I would’ve died if it was shiny lmao
I caught a shiny blacephalon. I was so happy that I saved right away. Just to find out it had a sassy nature 😭
Watching while soft resetting for shiny Yveltal in Ultra Moon, hoping it brings me luck 😅
Good luck!!!! Hope you bring home the bacon bird soon.
I got stakataka but not Blacephalon. haven't tried Blacephalon yet but will at some point. got the stakataka after finding a random shiny buneary (stakataka took like 3k+ and buneary took like 2k)
I'm currently hunting Celesteela, aka, my favourite UB next to Poipole.
Go for shiny surfing pikachu!
That's a really cool hunt! I might go for it sometime in the future! Taking a slight break from hunting for a little bit to work on a level 100 gauntlet first
AbsolBlogsPokemon alright!👍
Xerneas was like my shiny null when I got it just under 30 SRS
Due to this video I remembered the type null encounter right before this, and wondered if it could be shiny hunted. Welp, 8,000 encounters and almost a full year later I can tell you that type null is shiny huntable and advise against it. Also 2,000 encounters into blaceph and still going.

Hey! I'm shiny hunting shinx currently via Masuda method. Wish me luck!
Newbie question: Why the soft resets? Pls dont hate me ppl
To reset till it’s shiny because it’s the only way for certain Pokémon
It makes me uncomfortable how fast you soft reset over that virizion... Have you ever soft reset over a shiny?
Hey there AbsolBlogs :D I'm actually hunting a Blacephalon myself
Howdy! Best of luck! Be careful when you try and catch it!
This makes me sad because i recently gave up on shiny rayquaza :(
It took me 16 encounters to find shiny Xerneas
Damp dan got done so dirty 🤣
1:43 RIP stakataka
What is your most proud shiny hunt?
shadow bayleef in colosseum probably
@@AbsolBlogsPokemon Love the shiny hunting vids and streams, keep it up
You can shiny hunt them after 2 like after rainbow rocket.
Oh my gosh you have a noivern named NPR. 🤣

I SHIT YOU NOT I JUST CAME ACROSS THIS VIDEO TODAY AND OUR SHINY TSAREENAS ARE BOTH NAMED CAMILLA WHAT THE FUCK
I netted Heatran,Blacephalon and Rayquazza.
Adsol will you shiny hunt Celebi in the Crystal Virtual Consle?
Definitely!
I also got my shiny Xerneas under 100 soft resets
I am shocked because I will give up on a shiny in a miniute or a second!
I feel like the stakataka shiny should swap for the normal color
I named mine "Poppywise" after the Urban legend of "Pennywise", what Blacephalon is Based off Of.
Nice
That introXD
And I’m still hunting my blacephalon and this just makes me salty but congrats

I failed stakataka ugh
Yay I am the 5000 sub FeelsGoodMan Edit 4600 I'm a idiot
Anyone here in 2021?
