With Shiny Chansey in FRLG, we cannot be confident in saying the first live capture was the first captured shiny Chansey. However, I would bet my life this is the first shiny Metang ever captured in HGSS, and most likely the last. You are crazy, but in a good way, congrats.
UPDATE - I completed all the shiny Unown! ruclips.net/video/pKKPMpot59g/видео.html Thanks for watching my insane monster of a Safari hunt! It means a lot to me that so many people enjoyed this content that I created. The absolute best possible way to obtain not just my shiny mascot, Lunatone, but also the most incredible looking shiny in the HGSS Safari Zone! I will soon be starting on hunting for all the Unown in Gen 4 and there will be another wicked compilation, hopefully in less than 4 months from now. That will take place between the Solaceon Ruins and the Ruins of Alph. :)
How did I not see this? I went for this hunt years back but I knew someone would eventually accomplish it. This is amazing! You seem like the same type of masochist as me, so you might appreciate some of my hunts, as well. You truly are a mad man! Congrats
@@LuckySparkles I got like 5 or 6 phases in and then decided on the world's first shiny American pokemon box surfing pichu. The setup and hunt and ribbon run took years to accomplish after that, so I never had a chance to go back
@@LuckySparkles oh its already done, my man. First documentary vids I posted! Take a look if you'd like. The Part 2 has audio issues after uploading so will be reuploading that one soon enough, but yeah. What's your next big hunt?
@@cash_ketchum4958 Okay, I'm currently hunting Bulbasaur in one of my Soul Silver games while also hunting Mewtwo in my other Soul Silver game. After I get Bulbasaur on my second copy of Soul Silver, I'm going to be hunting for Mudkip and then I will reset the file and hunt for a shiny roaming Raikou. :)
Honestly what a historic hunt! Loved seeing the journey from start to end alongside you Lucky. You really made it feel like we were there hunting right next to you (but we only had to hunt for 42 minutes instead of 4 months). Huge congratulations on such an amazing hunt Lucky!
My toxic trait is thinking I can do this 😭😭😭 MAJOR congrats on following through on this hunt! I love metang and it's so cool to see someone actually catch this!
Thanks! I appreciate it and hope you'll enjoy my other videos too. I've found loads of awesome shinies in my Gen 4 games! Hope your hunts are going well too! ✨
Happy to see that you enjoyed my video. I also made another epic compilation of obtaining every shiny Unown in Gen 4. If you enjoyed this one, you'll be sure to enjoy that one. Thanks for watching! :)
Thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm currently 20/28 towards getting every unique shiny Unown in Gen 4. There will be another awesome compilation when I finish this. :)
Dude I was just about to start the hunt and I said maybe someone already did it let’s check YT.. first of all omg dude that was crazy, thank you for uploading this crazy video. Sec a huge congrats on that gorgeous shiny. What a catch. The problem now is that I’m scared of this hunt. XD
Thanks for watching and yes, only the bravest of full odds hunters will dare to take on the almighty wall that is the Safari Zone Metang. Best of luck on your own shiny Metang hunt. It'll be a blessing if you get this in under 30 phases. Remember, six bait before the balls. ;)
How does a gen 4 shiny Unown compilation sound? All 28 of them! Hopefully it won't take me anywhere near as many phases as my Safari Zone Metang took. xD
Thanks and it really does. Maybe at Safari Week, more people will discover it. If you're interested, I've also done a few full odds egg hunts, my most recent being Magby just the other week. Hope you enjoy! :) Edit: I forgot to mention that I also hunted every shiny Unown in Gen 4. If you enjoyed the Metang compilation, you're going to love my Unown compilation. :D
Omfg congratulations on this, that was so intense to watch, and as a beginner shiny hunter, I want to try so bad even though I know I'm going to make a ton, a ton of RE
Happy to see that you enjoyed my video! I definitely don't recommend any beginner full odds hunters to go straight to the deep end. Some basic random encounters, game corner or Johto starter resets are nice. Good luck! ✨
@@ludwigrainbow3458 There are two kinds of shiny fails. The kind where it's your own fault for not being prepared or not paying attention, and then Safari Zone, where it's all down to chance. Good luck! 😎
I am shocked you said nothing. Outside of what seemed like a sigh of relief. When I caught a shiny Quagsire after failing five of them in the Great Marsh, I laughed like a maniac. If I were you I would've lost it after this hunt.
Yeah, the bait strat makes it much less likely to flee, while each ball is no less likely to catch, due to Metang's catch rate already being at the lowest possible value. 😎
Yeah, Safari Metang was really painful to hunt. What about full odds eggs? I hatched a shiny Kecleon today in Diamond after 4,350 total collected. Video goes live at 5pm England time. Good luck on your hunts! ✨
Hey my friend, how did you made your Heard Gold Version fast forward? I am also playing with only one Hardware device, i would like to encounter faster..
I'm really sorry to disappoint you, but I didn't actually make my game go faster. I increased the playback speed in video editing. None of my games are modded and whenever you see the gameplay being faster than normal in my videos, it's because I increased the playback speed when I was editing the video together. Thanks for watching and have a nice day! 😎
Glad you enjoyed. At the time of typing this, I'm at 16 out of 28 unique shiny Unown in my Gen 4 games. Another big compilation video is coming! Hoping to finish this by April. Hope you'll enjoy that one too. :)
The mathematics behind the bait strategy is explained in the video. With the six bait method, you'll always average more balls thrown at Metang than without it and the odds of capture for each thrown ball is still 0.416%. Good luck! 😎
That sucks, but it would've most likely fled anyway, so the end result would've likely been the same regardless. Hopefully your own shiny Metang hunt doesn't take anywhere near as many phases as mine did. Best of luck! ✨
Hi, Blupcraft was a hot minute ago! I remember that Minecraft server. As you can see, I go by the name "LuckySparkles" now. If there's anything you'd like to ask me, feel free to ask. :)
Congrats on finishing the hunt but i dont really get it, when people do chansey they just throw balls and hope why do u "have to" throw bait six tmes instead of just throwing balls and hoping like with chansey?? (i just wanna say im not taking anything away from the hunt i know some people do hunts specific ways like my 1% yanma im just curious about the decision before everyone bites my head off)
That's a good question. Bait usually makes it harder to catch Pokémon in the HGSS Safari Zone, but for Metang, the bait can't make the catch rate lower than the minimal catch rate of 3, which is already Metang's base catch rate. It still lowers Metang's flee rate. This increases the expected average number of balls thrown at each Metang, which also includes the ones that flee before being able to throw any balls. The average number of balls per catch attempt, with balls only, is expected to be a little over 4, since it would normally be a 23.83% chance to flee per turn, but when successfully feeding six bait, it progressively goes down to a minimal of 6.25% likelihood to flee per turn. This will make the average number of balls thrown be about 5.7 instead of barely over 4, which might not seem like much of a difference, but it actually brings the overall win rate for Metang up from 1.72% to 2.37%. That's why it's better to throw six bait before balls. In the 60 failed attempts to catch my shiny Metang, I threw 377 balls, which works out to be an average number of 6.28333 balls per attempt, which was actually higher than expected. :)
Adding onto Lucky, there is actually a bait method for Chansey in FRLG, there is a video on my channel for it that can nearly double Chansey's win rate.
Skavhaug literally shaking. Congrats Lucky, what a catch!
Insane compilation - huge congrats on achieving the near impossible!

Your a living legend, at that many encounters I would have had a DS shaped hole in my wall, congrats
Absolutely nutty hunt my guy major congrats on getting both your mascot and the shiny metang you really earned your sparkles xqcL

The absolute unbreaking dedication.
absolutely unreal! the dedication is beautiful! you're absolutely right about making a shiny hunt special about your mascot!! congrats!!!
Thanks and yes, I felt that it had to be done. As you can see, this hunt was extremely difficult to complete! Glad you enjoyed it! 😎

Incredible lucky! Absolutely incredible! It takes something special to complete a hunt like this!
Funny to think that if Lunatone wasn't here, I might not have gone for it. xD
Absolutely wild once more, keep kicking ass!
This is actually insane! Congrats on finishing what might be the craziest safari zone hunt ever!
Those shaking hands means more then 10000 words. Gz on this insane hunt Lucky.
My toxic trait is thinking I can do this 😭😭😭 MAJOR congrats on following through on this hunt! I love metang and it's so cool to see someone actually catch this!
Absolutely insane and tons of dedication! You deserve it man, congrats!
Still insane man congrats again 🥳
Absolutely incredible! Finally got around to watching and was not disappointed! Congratulations Lucky, your dedication is admirable
Congrats, that's got to some of the craziest dedication for shiny hunting I've ever seen!

If I were you I would've lost it after this hunt.
I was screaming internally. ;)
Also congrats on your shiny Quagsire! :)
Good thing you have unlimited bait from... somewhere. Grats on finishing this insane hunt, Lucky!
If the bait can be infinite, why can't the balls be? I wouldn't have ran out then! xD
u really are built different lol. congrats lucky! 🥳
incredible congrats lucky!
"Please don't do this hunt, ever"
Sounds like a challenge, *guess I'll give it a try when I get HGSS*
I strongly respect your dedication. Best of luck! 😎
@@LuckySparkles Ty :]
Look at this dude living in Safari Zone
Never again will I be doing a hunt anywhere near as crazy as this one! xD
Wtf!?!?! I’ve never seen a mon in the safari zone stay that long while u throw 20 balls at it lol
Yeah, the bait strat makes it much less likely to flee, while each ball is no less likely to catch, due to Metang's catch rate already being at the lowest possible value. 😎
It is a real shame that it didn't catch on phase 69, but God damn, congrats Lucky!
Ugh no need for lewd stuff
@@ChicagoMel23 Relax
GG my friend, you deserve this!
And I thought I was cool getting the gen 2 roamers shiny…. One word: PAIN

Will this stay on this particular game or will you move it across generations? And MAJOR CONGRATS!!!!!!
