Shiny Aipom in Emerald's Safari Zone after 11,048 random encounters + Shiny Fail

Two Shiny Aipom from this year's Safari Week. Caught one and failed one. I can't believe I caught the first one I saw. Aipom has a 45 catch rate and a 15% chance to flee so I'm incredibly blessed to have caught the first one I saw. Some people I've known have struggled big time with this target for a while.
It came on my new German copy of Emerald which is helping me learn the language. Very pleased with this find though I'm sure as the years go by and I target the more difficult to find stuff like Pineco and Hoothoot that I'll see plenty of these. It's a great shiny though so I won't get tired anytime soon.
Thanks for watching as always!

Nice shiny

[@Johnnyversetti6969]

I’m really thinking about it.. and honestly I think you may be the greatest shiny hunter..

[@yuiop4627]

I love your videos, I think a unique hunt you could do is ones at mirage island in emerald, it would just be a cool location on the summary

[@hatfroggo5503]

hello! recently discovered your channel and have been loving the vids, really has gotten me interested again in these older games and full odds hunts! i am curious, how do you go about recording your game, is it a capture card system in an old DS? again, loving the content man!

[@tapuchris-cb9jy]

Congratulations!

[@wheatleythebrick2276]

shiny aipoms pretty cute, never paid it any mind before

[@verdantstar2790]

Probably my favorite reaction haha

[@kennynakawaki]

This German cartridge was very lucky 😂

That shiny is a German-American, let's go

I have a really cool shiny hunting idea for you
Violet City PokeCenter Primos Slugma Mareep and Wooper Egg and Togepi😅❤

[@cecillewolters1995]

Dunno why, but sometimes I love how Aipom looks and sometimes I hate it.
I do like Ash’s one and the Aipom from the 3rd movie

[@TerryWilliams-ys7px]

Wait...he has one? I thought the shiny noctowl was the only shiny he had😅

[@cecillewolters1995]

@@TerryWilliams-ys7px His Aipom was a regular one, the one from the movie was also a normal one

[@bobbysanders8715]

I swear, why does hoothoot always look like he’s a shiny

[@Lion09887]

Are we ignoring the fact that his trainer id is literally 500

[@ETa-tg8vc]

Why did that happen

[@ThomasSeeds]

Pretty sure he’s mentioned it before.

[@ThomasSeeds]

@@ETa-tg8vc what?

[@ETa-tg8vc]

@@ThomasSeeds why is his trainer ID 500

[@Sonikks]

Because I reset for it. All my games have cool IDs.

[@ShinyHunterFr0sTy]

it might of been an rng clone same level/gender same game pretty common on emreald aswell

[@elvenatheart982]

Got a guide for shiny hunting?
I assume there are strats for it, other than take a ton 9f balls and do random ecounters till you drop.
Im i terested in gen 2(crystal) and 3(Fire Red)

[@user-do2es1yy2w]

Wow

[@TheJamal723]

Yo Sonikks! Mind me asking how far you're into your Gen III Living Dex?

[@peachbubble8652]

He is about 25% of the way there! He said he might make a compilation of the 25% he has found

[@brandonrichard8356]

I’ve been shiny hunting in ruby for almost 4 days now. Still no shiny :/. I’m trying for slakoth.

[@Max-qw8eq]

Can I shiny hunt in ruby via soft reset even after internal battery has run dry?

[@bowsette_aka_arutendoyt2018]

Come back😂😂😂
1 and a half mounths is to long😢

[@tsuCozy]

Do you stream anymore?

[@carltonleboss]

Modest wouldn't be so bad if you transferred it up, lol

Transferring shinies is a sin

7.8/10 Rating for this video. Too much water. Why didn't you just Masuda it though, bro? You could have gotten it in Pokemon Go and PLA so much easier! Really preferred the days when all of your content was you catching Pidgey's cause this Aipom stuff is clout chasing. Just messing with ya, good work again on a huge success with this year's Safari Zone. Cheers to many more great hunts in the future!
