- Here it is folks! I present to you, my proudest ever shiny and favorite Pokémon of all time… The first ever, LIVE shiny Smeargle in gen 2!
I'm back guys! First off I wanted to apologize for the long hiatus. Aside from some personal things that have been going on in my life, I have been dedicating 100% of my time spent hunting on this hunt. And boy did it pay off.
I started this hunt back in late March of this year. And I can't believe it's already almost October! Going into this hunt I did not set my expectations high and was completely aware of my phase odds. Unfortunately, it may have gone a little worse than I expected. On average I should have found Smeargle after only 10 phases. But instead I went to 16!
Throughout the course of this hunt I could feel my sanity draining and my patience as a shiny hunter being tested. However the thought of finding a shiny Smeargle was enough to keep me going through all of it (and of course your guys continuous support!) And I think it's fair to say I won't be doing one of these again anytime in the near future, haha.
My advice to you if you plan to ever do a hunt like this is to keep yourself busy with other hunts. ESPECIALLY if there's only 1 other thing you can phase for in the area, lol. I can't speak on behalf of all shiny hunters, but what I'll say is that a shiny is only worth what you think it's worth. I've seen people go for some crazy rare stuff. But if it's something you don't really care about, I would not recommend doing it. Use that time on something that'll be worth your while.
This is one of my proudest ever shinies, and I'm so happy I get to share it with you all. And thank you guys so much for over 500 subscribers! I thought this would be a perfect hunt to celebrate such a milestone. And I've never been more happier or proud than now to be a shiny hunter. Because of your guys continuous support I get the motivation to comeback and hunt as much as I possibly can. It's moments like this that make all those countless hours spent on random encounters and soft resets worth it.
Best of luck on all your hunts, and I hope you enjoy this very, very special shiny. Love you guys! :)

I was wondering, as a Shiny Hunter, would you say this method is faster than hatching for shines?
You're like the alternate timeline version of that guy that did like 200k encounters for Shiny Natu
Wasn’t there a guy who was shiny hunting Natu in HGSS for somewhere around 10 years or something?
Amazing job dude, seriously. I loved every bit of this video. Your reaction was just sheer elation. Phasing is horrendous especially when the variety isn't there so good job sticking with it. It has to be amazing to have your favourite Pokemon in its original generation. Love the Majora's Mask editing too!
Thanks, Steve! Really glad you enjoyed the video. You’re crazy hunts over the years have definitely pushed me to raise the bar every time I do a new hunt. And so for that, thank YOU! Glad you got the Majora’s Mask reference 😂
What really adds to it is that then you yourself would go on to have a hunt in Silver where you were also hunting a mammalian Pokemon known for its' tail(s), only to get an excessive amount of a particular bird Pokemon before getting your target!
Congrats to both of you on your shinies!
The best part is how you lose happiness with each Natu you find. I can literally hear you gradually slipping away into madness 😂
Pain and agonizing FAILURE
Hilarious 🤣
Grats on the not Natu!!!!! Good job persevering for so many phases and catching the totally normal green tailed Smeargle!
And I loved the Natu outro, too. That was a great touch
Thanks, Matt! I appreciate you checking out the video! :)
The Smeargle was alright, but the real treasure I gained from this hunt was the plethora of Natu puns that will haunt me for the rest of my days 🤡
this thumbnail is amazing lmao
Thanks, Dallas! 😂
i wouldnt own a device to play on anymore if it took me 15 phases to find my hunt.. and i would probably have to repair my window with a ds shaped hole
thanks for assuring me it was a good idea not to hunt shiny Heracross before 1st gym in heartgold
woops, just realized i replied to rk9s comment, was meant as a normal comment
1st Shiny Natu: “SHINY NATU!”
15th Shiny Natu: *sighs* “Why…?” 🤣
it goes from excitement to dissappointment the more natus encountered, I love it 😂
It's always funny hearing the 1st phase pokemon be found. I was super happy finding my 1st pidove but after the 5th I was super angry lol. Congrats on the catch!
Thank you! Yeah, you can hear my gradual decline in sanity for sure lol.
the gradual progression of “yo a Shiny Natu!” to “whyyyyy meeee” is astounding. i commend your perseverance! i can only imagine the anxiety you felt every time a Natu slid across the screen during this haha
The fact you got shiny smeargle in the game that got no shiny natu is insane, huge congrats
Thank you!
Man, this makes me happier to see than almost every movie scene.
VERY HAPPY FOR YOU! I saw you doing this hunt on twitter, and was happy to see you get it! What I love about your videos is that you don't go absolutely ballistic and over sell your enthusiasm with hunts; that's something that discourages me from watching a lot of other hunters. Love your content, and I hope to see more hunting videos!
You are far too kind! I appreciate you checking out the video. And I’m glad you enjoy the content 😊
the slow descent in to turmoil and then the light at the end of the tunnel... man, ive never seen a video in which somebody was so ecstatic to just have the shiny. treasure it, congrats!!! it really paid off. one smeargle to rule them all (natu)
Couldn’t have said it better myself. Thank you 🙂
I just feel like u get so much more satisfaction from shinies in older games than the newer ones.
OMG, those Natus were trolling hard. Massive congrats on your Smeargle, very well deserved.
YOOOOOOO this is insaneeeeeeeeeee, 15 phases on a 1/8192 game is hard enough, let alone 15 TIMES OF THE SAME FREAKING BIRD!!! MASSIVE CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU MY DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you! It was a long trek, but it’s finally over 😅
What an amazing accomplishment as a shiny hunter! Glad it paid off in the end and very happy to have been there with you along the way. Congrats 🤩✨
Thank you my friend. Your guest appearances definitely made the video 🤩
The shiny heard around the world, absolutely crazy perseverance. Huge respect to you for sticking through the hunt. I think around Natu number 12 is where I heard your mentality switch from excitement to "if I give up now, all this would have been a waste of time" 😂
No seriously, bravo. Such a well deserved shiny.
oh my god. i’m so happy for you! this is such an in-depth and fun video. i need more. keep up the good work!!
Thank you!! I’ll do my best! 😁
I’ve never watched your videos, sir, but I had to pay respects to such an insane hunt. Absolutely incredible.
Thanks for checking it out!
Big congrats dude, it must be such a relief having finally found this thing! Glad you're back and excited to see more hunts from you!
Thanks man! Looking forward to sharing more hunts with you guys 😊
This man is pushing through and persevering! Holy moly what a return with this sick shiny smeargle! Watching this 100% takes me back to the pain and struggle it was to find that shiny 4% tauros. Super happy you were able to pull through Avery!😤💪
Thanks so much, Pale!!! It’s funny you say that. Because YOUR hunt was the very hunt that motivated me to keep on going! There’s something about all the phasing and countless hours spent that make it worth it when you finally find your target. Here’s to more crazy hunts my friend!
Omg you found a 4% shiny Tauros? That’s my favorite Pokémon ever. I’ve set up my Crystal VGC for that hunt but I haven’t found any phases just yet!
Lololol, priceless how you added an extra Natu on the countdown for every one you got 😂
Amazing work been shiny hunting since xy I enjoy breeding for shinys but seriously dude you earned your shiny smergle congratulations
Really excited to see that you're doing some gen 2 hunting! I mostly hunt in gen 2, and as someone who loves rare target hunts it really is a dream! So many cool mons like this one at 5-10% that are absolute dream targets! Excited to check out your other gen 2 stuff and can't wait to see what other gen 2 shines you find!
Any gen 2 hunter is a friend of mine! Thanks! Yeah there’s so many cool hunts in this gen that have never been touched. And I’m really looking forward to doing some of them someday 😊
Good heavens! The thumbnail alone is cool but man! You are a legendary paragon of patience and determination... I would’ve just bred a shiny smeargle...
Thank you for the kind words!
right when you're talking about phasing in the intro i found a wurmple to end my current phase for slakoth lmao. The timing. Congrats on the awesome Smeargle!
What a coincidence, haha. Congrats and good luck on 5% Slakoth!
@@jazzthatshiny thanks!
The dedication on this is amazing dude, loved every minute of it!! Can't wait to see whats next, here's 1k subs!! :D
Thanks so much, Mark! Glad you enjoyed the video. I’m really hoping we can get there 😬
This is FRICKIN AWESOME, you just gained a new subscriber!
Wow, thank you so much! Appreciate the support 😊
Whew. That was a journey! I could feel the anguish towards the 14th, and especially, the 15th natu. But you did it! That's grit!!! Starting from the first Natu to the shiny smeargle, I could only think of all that's happened in the last 6 months. It's kinda nostalgic even though it wasn't too too long ago.
Congrats!!! :)
Thanks, d0nkeh! It’s definitely been quite the journey. So many memories… both good and bad lol. Appreciate you checking it out my friend!
@@jazzthatshiny Haha. Always :)
Bahahaha I love how In the beginning you’re like “oh my god shiny Natu!!” And after the 15th one you’re like “this stupid freaking bird” xD and man your reaction to the Smeargle is so wholesome. Huge congratulations fam after all that work you deserve it!
The dedication is real man.
Major congrats on this.
You certainly deserved it! 👏
Thank you 😊
Coming back to this video because I'm in a major drought for a Carnivine and I need motivation to keep going
Don’t give up!!! Good luck!
I'm starting a 10% teddiursa soon, can't wait for the pain. Awesome shiny glad you persevered
Good luck! Teddiursa is so adorable 🥰
Dude congrats!!
It really hits different to get your favorite pokemon as a shiny after a long hunt.
Hopefully the next one won't be as long.
Thank you! I’m hoping for the best 🤞
awesome video dude took probaly vervy long to edit but had some good fun watching this thanks for uploading :)
Huge congrats man! Nothing like finding the target after so many phases❤️, well deserved man! Amazing video and super motivational for a fellow hunter🙏🏻
Thanks, Raven! Best of luck to you on all your hunts ✨
Grats on the shiny Smeargle (and the Natus too I guess) and the long hunt coming to an end. :) Found your channel through Sonikks’ streams.
Appreciate you checking out the video 😊 Thanks for stopping by!
I don't know how RUclips knew I needed your video right now and I'm not sure you will see this but.. I enjoyed every minute of it, I was incredibly happy when you find your Smeargle. And honestly, I was just thinking about giving up on my Cyndaquil hunt. I'm at +73k SRs.
Seeing your reaction, I know that I have to stick to my hunt. Thank you so much !
Oh my. That’s a brutal number. I hope you find it soon!
And I’m glad you enjoyed the video. It’s the worst/longest hunts that are always the most rewarding! :)
@@jazzthatshiny oh, thank you so much for taking time to reply!
Fingers crossed 🤞🏻
dude that shiny is amazing and your reaction was awesome, nice work!!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Love old gen hunts!!! Heading in a few years late but excited to watch!
Edit: just reached smeargle and wow....what a journey, congrats on being freed from the hellscape!
Enjoy!
@@jazzthatshiny just finished the vid and wow your dedication is so admirable! Congrats on the shiny Smeargle - sweet freedom!
Congrats on shiny Smeargle the artist and shiny Natu just subbed best of luck on your hunts!
Thank you so much! Appreciate the support 🙂
Very impressive that you were able to stick to the hunt 👏
I love how happy you are when you finally get it haha.. congrats dude!
Thank you!
This video is a treasure lol. The pain in your voice with each consecutive natu is hilarious haha. I never heard anyone so unhappy with a shiny. But I completely understand why haha. Congratulations on the smeargle! Your reactions are priceless!
Thanks for checking it out!
Oh my stars and garters, your patience have been paid off after 15 Shiny Natu and KABOOM, the Shiny Smeargle finally came! Congrats, mate!😁
F on that seventh Natu. I only failed one full odds shiny outside the safari zone and it hurt a lot. Congrats on that smeargle, though! crazy how many phases you went to
i am beyond astounded. you have the patience of a GOD.
Thanks for checking out the video!
It's a good thing you had someone who could use Mean Look to prevent Natu from escaping with Teleport.
I love these older gen hunts. I feel like you never see multi-system hunts anymore since the new games make it so “easy” to get shinies
This was awesome to watch! I loved the editing especially for the outro. Great job on the Smeargle!
Thank you so much! Really glad you enjoyed it :)
This is crazy, your patience is as legendary as a Mewtwo my friend, congrats!
Thank you so much! Appreciate the kind words.
Congrats on the shiny Smeargle!
+ Really enjoyed the editing.
Thanks for checking out the video!
Wow, what a hunt. Big congrats!
Thanks!
Thumbnail is 10/10. Grats on finally obtaining your Smeargle, some balls to continue grinding it out for 15 phases.
Thanks, Jason! Appreciate the kind words sir. Good luck on the hunts ✨
Wow, that's dedication! Congrats 👏
Wow that’s really unlucky you didn’t get any Natu in your phases, would’ve been cool to see one or two
Huge congrats man! Glad to finally see you get your target after all this time!
Thank you! It’s relieving to say the least 😅
the Majora's Mask bit is so good lmao, good stuff
congrats! Just found your channel through the algorithm of shiny poketubers so congrats on that too!
Glad to hear! Welcome 😊
@@jazzthatshiny thx man. Dropped a sub. Keep the old gen hunts coming! They’re so cool
Huge Congratz man! Ggs!!
Thanks!
i really commend you for pursuing this hunt! So glad you got it, rip natu hunter though :/
Thanks! Legend has it the Natu Hunter is still phasing for Natu’s till this very day 🧐
@@jazzthatshiny i hope one day he finds his way to happiness
Ahhhh the dedication my dude, congrats. I know it's a bit late lol but still, this is an insane hunt, and I probably would have given up, props to you
Congrats Avery! Well deserved, darumaka is my favorite mon, I currently have 7 shiny ones... Definitely hunting more though! Your next hunt will be quick (hopefully)
As soon as I saw this, all I could think about was the guy who spent 2 years looking for a Shiny Natu in the Safari Zone and got like, 11 Shiny Oddish before the Natu lol the irony. Anyway, congrats on the Smeargle!
Some days I just think about that hunt and wonder “why” lol. Thanks!
9th after only 132 re’s on the same file as the 8th! Only in full odds hunting, well done sir!
Respect the grind on this one....you can just feel the excitement from phase 1 to the pain of phase 15 lol
This must've felt so good... I was so happy after I caught my shiny Relicanth aftee more than 1000 battles in Sword/Shield.... This is so much more special.... :-)
Yes i flippin love natu so this is already A+ video.
Congrats man! The patience you have is ridiculous. I'm hunting for Chikorita in Crystal and it's only been a few days but I'm already over it lol heck I want to give up on 1/500 odd hunts. No idea how you do it, but keep it up!
Thanks!
6:35 “I’m sure after this one my excitement will probably wear down” is this foreshadowing?
I also did a Smeargle hunt! I got 10 Natus in the process so I ended up catching one in the safari zone after 2 phases there!! Its so rewarding getting one.
Oh my goodness. This dedication deserves a sub.
Appreciate it 🙂
Wow you’re crazy. I’m still searching for suicune! Gotta get it eventually
Oh man, congratulations!
I just got a random shiny 5% rapidash in my first nuzlocke for firered and found your channel. This is hilarious lol
I used to have a shiny Smeargle in gen 7 with an ohko moveset. Perhaps it's time for me to res an old favorite in BDSP should he get drafted. My goodness, so many shiny Natus, how are you all doing?! Congrats on the shinies man. Keep on keeping it real and legit don't stop bringing back those epic nostalgia vibes. Btw fun fact: did you know that Natu and Smeargle are both former shadow mons in their own right?
Beautiful shiny.
Congrats :))
I'm so happy that you got this :D
17:10 best reaction ever to a shiny 😂😂😂💀
About time, congrats!
Thanks, Cabbage!
Im so tempted to hunt this in heartgold
That's crazy, congrats on this hunt!
I started my journey for a 10% Shiny Smeargle about 2 years ago in HeartGold... Ended up getting a Shiny Natu in 44 REs and haven't gotten back to the hunt since... 😆 I named it "209,779" in tribute to mi678tv's hunt of that many REs for a Shiny Natu!
This was wild, earned my sub!! Would love to do this hunt, i considered last month and decided against it once i remembered the odds lol
It’s definitely quite the trek, but the payoff is so rewarding! Thank you!
So much dedication!!! Well deserved!!! Good job!!!
Thank you!!
You can hear the tears flowing when you finally find it lol
That many sparkly borbs just feels un-Natu-ral.
Very nice shiny how do you stay so motivated after 15 phases and what pieces of advice would you have to stay motivated?
Use other side hunts to distract yourself. If you phase, move on to another hunt and then come back to it. Changing up your variety will help to keep it fresh and interesting.
The reactions in this decrease like Squidward getting tired of the Squidward town
Ik ur feeling bro, my shiny Carvanha scared me as I was looking for it XD
Congratulations man, hope this gets more views for the amount of dedication this requires. Give that smeargle some great moves ;)
Thank you 🙏 I’m going to try and give it a good move set for catching other Pokémon 😊
Holy shit. This is amazing. WELL DONE 🌠
Why did they swap smeargle’s normal and shiny?
Now you have a small army of Natu.
Just subbed to encourage you! Good videos mate :)
Thank you, appreciate the sub 🙂
Congrats!!!
Bird is the Word
Leonhart?
He catches them all right?
*he catches them all... right?*
