Chazingdra Chats 12: AbsolBlogsPokemon - Pokémon Content Creator, Streamer & Shiny Hunter

#ChazingdraChats #6Pokémon1LifeStory #ShinyHunting #SafariWeek #Pokemon
"It's the journey, not the destination." This is an emerging mantra of Matt Brandl aka AbsolBlogsPokemon from this episode of the show, someone whose Pokémon RUclips channel suddenly blew up on New Year's Day 2019, who is one of the most prolific & dedicated Shiny hunters out there and who showcases the jaw-dropping amount there is to explore in the Pokémon video games. A scroll through his aforementioned channel is a journey in itself: with videos spanning the past 14 years his audience has watched him grow up - and he has countless fascinating experiences to share. Discover some of them here, as Matt shares his life story and, of course, his hand-picked 6 Dream Team Pokémon that have been there for him along the way. It's impossible not to be uplifted by Matt's infectious enthusiasm - come hang out with us and let him brighten your day!
Make sure to check out Matt's brilliant RUclips channel @AbsolBlogsPokemon and streams @Absoltastic, and keep up with his latest news on X @TheAbsol!
