If you'd like to participate in Safari Week in the future, it's usually held in early June and it's hosted by Matt/AbsolBlogsPokemon so I recommend you either sub to his channel or follow him on Twitter (Twitter probably better imo) here; twitter.com/TheAbsol Thank you all for watching and have a grand ol' day.

Phahaha i sense a tone Edit: phaaaahahahah he got four... FOUR hahahah oh oh i hope you get one soon rk9 wish you the best of luck this must be hard to watch for you i think
Watching this was a fantastic way to spend 40 minutes and 13 seconds!! Great haul, Steve. That latter half of the week was BRUTAL, though! -Your Gamecube setup looks soooo good. Some of the crispest 3rd gen capture I've seen! -I can't believe those Paras keep fleeing from you. I'm glad you finally caught one, but it seems to be at the expense of a trip to Paris!! -That Venomoth is an absolute beaut, definitely the highlight for sure!! Seems you weren't exempt from this Safari Week's curse of the 3-shake fake, either. -Going to massive numbers for a fail always sucks!!! 2/3 of my 20k+ safari phases have been failures as well. -Major congrats on the normal Exeggcute at 27:30
Thanks Matt and thanks for hosting as always! Hoping to reclaim that Venomoth soon! Haven't watched your video yet as I'm playing The Last of Us but I hope you had a grand week!
That Venomoth was a real beauty. My heart stopped on that third shake, but it hurt more with the Nidorina and then the Exeggcute, I could tell there was real anguish in your voice! Especially with Exeggcute where you said "I *really* want to catch this!" and it instantly fled.
I really have been wanted this channel to hit 40k for while it’s been stuck so close under it and it will be so satisfying it’s getting to the point where I feel as I should make alt accounts
Man i really like your positivity! I love how you are so glad about all the good things it's healthy and good! Anyways i hope to watch you on twitch sometime because you seem like an amazing person! Keep up the good work :)
Great job, Sonikks! I still feel bad for TheSupremeRk9's because he's been trying to get a ryhorn for years now and you got 5 or 6. You inspired me to play through pokemon frlg for the first time!
Don't know if you'll see this comment but I just subbed and I love your vids! Just started a shiny charmander in gen 3 and just hit 1k SR's, hope to get it under full odds! Keep up the content man!
Congratulations man, 12 shinies and 6 caught is actually amazing! :o I really wanted to participate this safari week, but my boardgame is almost finished and I totally forgot due to my enthusiasm ^^' I like imaging that the shiny Nidoran female is anti social now xD Since it almost sounded that you called her that hahaha Anyways, nice video, I'm glad it went so well for you :)
Nice haul this year! Shame the Venomoth didn't want to stick around but congrats on the Paras reclaim and Adamant Rhyhorn in particular. Currently 1500 RE's deep into a Firered hunt in the Lost Cave myself. I'll be content with anything but I really want Haunter or Murkrow. (Was hunting Dewgong a while back but since it was a repel trick hunt + hunting on a single copy it was taking super long to get encounters, hopefully a more relaxed hunt will give some better results) Good luck on your future hunts!
I love all your videos and I can watch you all day! But the thing about these Safari hunts is that it’s so hard to watch when you don’t catch :( but it’s impressive when you do
Seeing Sonikks here reminds me of how I wanted to capture Pokemon in the Safari Zone...After a bit i encountered a Shiny Chansey. I didn't know what a shiny was and thought the green looking Chansey was a color glitch...so i let it go. Not to far off a Shiny Ryhorn appears thus making me think the glitch persisted in the cartridge. Years later I realized my grave error...oh well, nice shinies my man!
Even though it's painful, I do love shiny encounters in the Safai Zone. It's that extra bit of risk that makes it really exciting. This was probably 10 years ago now, but I was roaming the Safari Zone in one of my Fire Red files and within a couple hours of eachother I encountered a shiny Nidorina and a shiny Exeggcute. Neither of them wanted to stick around and let me catch them, but it makes for a good story!
Congrats on the shinies man. the only 1/8192 shiny I have is a random Woobat i found in the Relic Passage on my White 2. Next year I will finally be doing a safari week.
It’s always so cool to see a failed shiny end up on another game like that Paras ran from you but you basically “re-encountered” it in the Japanese safari Zone.
Congrats on all the shinnies but also, very nice editing skills. Having to edit all this footage looks like a nightmare. Very superb work, very clean and presented well. Well done. (I'm curious what editing program you use, btw)
Thank you, really appreciate that. I use Adobe Premiere. I used to use Sony Vegas until around 2 years ago and there has been a noticeable increase in quality in my videos from then I think. Premiere is just a better program and exports videos faster for sure.
Congrats on all the shinies! I was gonna participate this year but I had to wrap up some college courses online. Heck I can always do my own safari week whenever if I want to lol.
I’ve been hoping to find a shiny since i was a kid. I’ve only once caught a shiny magikarp.. but since everybody has a red gyarados it didn’t count for me. Do you just walk around the safari zone or is there a technique? If you run out of steps does it restart the random encounter count?
Hi I’m shiny hunting for squirtle on fire red if I need to have a break or I’m down for the day do I save before the I pick the pokeball or am I doing it right by soft resetting and turning it off
hey how is your game play so crisp and clear if your playing on the gamecube (assuming you're using the GBA player)? Just wondering because I'm currently playing on my gamecube!
Thanks for the quick reply.! I’m a novice when it comes to this stuff and though I checked out that link it was highly complicated to me... lol though I am using all authentic hardware is there something I need to purchase, configure or download to achieve this quality of game play straight from my GameCube to my Tv monitor ?
I use authentic hardware too. You need a way to get Homebrew on your Gamecube (Swiss). Take some time to read through all of that and you'll replace the awful Gameboy Player software. I recommend joining the Discord for help if you need it too. Look at my Gen 2 Tauros video recently for Gameboy Interface software look as well as my Roaming Entei in Crystal.
so im shiny hunting celebi on crystal and im on 2000 odd soft resets so i went to watch some shiny pokemon videos i found your channel and i just cant stop watching your videos
Congrats man! Not gonna lie, while watching through, it felt like you failed way more than you caught haha. I guess venomoth can be your reclaim hunt next year! unless you decide to do gen4 instead haha. Also, there’s a masochist joke in the safari hunting question, but I’m not clever enough to come up with it:p
I am indeed sir. I was still trying to get used to it as much as possible throughout the week and eventually got it right on the final day (typical). The scale is set to Area by default which I don't care for nor do you I believe. Bilinear wouldn't look right but eventually I got there. Got it right for the future anyway.
Congrats on all the shinies. I’m intrigued, were all of those 108650 encounters quad hunted? Over 100k encounters for not consistently quad hunting would mean a mad amount of hours a day hunting surely 😮
Funny story when i was little i found a shiny Rhyhorn. I said "this rhyhorn looks odd" i ran from the fight and looked at rhyhorn in the pokedex and said "went that was weird".
On my fire red playthrough back then I got shiny nidorino and nidorina from safari in the same file and they became a part of my team. Too bad I lost the game

Congrats on all the shinies man, the Venomoth was super cool to see! Best 40 minutes I've spent in a while.
Nice rhyhorns dude
Hopefully you will be blessed with one next time and she stays, Supreme!
@@Sonikks I like how at 1:30 you got nidoran then also its evolution maybe its the same family
Phahaha i sense a tone
Edit: phaaaahahahah he got four... FOUR hahahah oh oh i hope you get one soon rk9 wish you the best of luck this must be hard to watch for you i think
2:20 I only see 2 Nidorina, I don't know what you're talking about.
Yeah at 24:28 too. But this time with 2 nidorino’s and 2 exeggcute.
my game pulled a little sneaky on me
Bruh
Ikr i think he didnt notice it

Lets just hope the trip to paris isnt this year
That's a long comment
20:30 Your brother came in and was like: "Are you winning, Son(ikks)?"
Underrated comment
nerds make the worst jokes haha
That Venomoth was a real beauty. My heart stopped on that third shake, but it hurt more with the Nidorina and then the Exeggcute, I could tell there was real anguish in your voice! Especially with Exeggcute where you said "I *really* want to catch this!" and it instantly fled.
Will never understand how Sonik only has 40k subs.
Idk why shiny hunters hunt in the Safari Zone. We are a rare breed of people who live for the adrenaline lmao
My first ever shiny was in the Johto safari zone. Really thought I wasn’t gonna catch my first shiny but I did lol
Lol i have only seen one shiny ever ( but i didn't capture it because i am really bad lol ) and i have 300 hours on leaf green lmao
Aaron 0102 I have only got shinys on Pokemon go (my first shiny found there) and then Pokemon quest

I really have been wanted this channel to hit 40k for while it’s been stuck so close under it and it will be so satisfying it’s getting to the point where I feel as I should make alt accounts
8-bit pepe I was kidding lol but I really wanna see him hit 40k
Yess good stuff dude!! Was waiting on the edge of my seat to see your compilation. Congrats!
Can we see your pc box for a video one day in every game
That's actually a very good idea for a video, but he could have multiple copies of the same game which could make showing all the pc boxes a bit hard
Man i really like your positivity! I love how you are so glad about all the good things it's healthy and good! Anyways i hope to watch you on twitch sometime because you seem like an amazing person! Keep up the good work :)
That Paras saga reminds me of your Spheal video! Congrats on all the shinies Steve!
Great job, Sonikks! I still feel bad for TheSupremeRk9's because he's been trying to get a ryhorn for years now and you got 5 or 6. You inspired me to play through pokemon frlg for the first time!
Love the mosaic/Gaudí style on the layout! Footage is looking very clean aswell! Congrats Steve
Congrats on all the shinies you may have caught, saving this video for the next hunting session, great work as usual ♥️
Don't know if you'll see this comment but I just subbed and I love your vids! Just started a shiny charmander in gen 3 and just hit 1k SR's, hope to get it under full odds! Keep up the content man!
Thanks for subbing! Best of luck!
Great finds all round man, jealous of all the Rhyhorn! So cool. Love all the Safari compilations this year!
Congratulations man, 12 shinies and 6 caught is actually amazing! :o
I really wanted to participate this safari week, but my boardgame is almost finished and I totally forgot due to my enthusiasm ^^'

Anyways, nice video, I'm glad it went so well for you :)
All of those tasty Frlg SZ shinies, u love to see it. Grats on all of the finds and catches Steve!
Congrats buddy! Very successful week :) wish you the best of luck on your future hunts!

I can't wait for my first Safari week! I've been watching them for a while but never tried my luck
Still waiting on that first encounter shiny bruh. I’ll cry for u
I really love your videos so 40 minutes is quite a treat 🥰
I love all your videos and I can watch you all day! But the thing about these Safari hunts is that it’s so hard to watch when you don’t catch :( but it’s impressive when you do
Great video as always man and congrats on all of the shinies! Hopefully you will get that Venomoth next time!
Hell yeah dude! Congrats on the shinies, and good luck on your other hunts :)
I stumble upon your vids every once and a while, keep up the hunts!
Congrats dude FR:/LG are my favourite games and I love seeing ppl hunt on them!

Me: proud with my shiny cramotant and shiny stoutland sonniks: I’m about to crush this mans whole dreams
You got so many :O
Congrats man!
And I laughed so hard at the "why do we do this" part, I am so sorry :D
It’s always so cool to see a failed shiny end up on another game like that Paras ran from you but you basically “re-encountered” it in the Japanese safari Zone.
I remember when I was younger the first shiny I ever found was a wooper in the safari zone....it didn't work out.
Never have I felt such rage.
Safari week each year from you is so exciting lol
I hate how I’m spoiled already because of the thumbnail pic. I like it to be a mystery as I’m more invested into watching.
I have a question i wanna shiny hunt in fire red in safari zone. Can Shinies be caught while safari week isn‘t there??
Of course!
So much gen 3 content ❤️ looks like a successful week. Congrats.
Congrats on all the shinnies but also, very nice editing skills. Having to edit all this footage looks like a nightmare. Very superb work, very clean and presented well.

Are the shiny odss different in the Safari zone
hey do you know a good hunting spot for taillow in emerald?
Route 115 is 40% Taillow, 10% Swellow. Aside from that, level 8 Repel trick on Route 116 is 50% Taillow.
@@Sonikks thank you!!
How many devices can you hunt on when you are serious?
I just saw YourFriedBread and was amazed at how he played his gameboys and ds like a piano.
This was the most I ever hunted on, 6. It was difficult. It's probably easier with a larger desk but I usually stick to 2/3.
When are you gonna upload next? Love your videos
Been waiting for this! Congrats!
I’m currently hunting a full odds shiny galarian zigzagoon. I want my dream team before i get isle of armor! I always love watching your videos bro!
the most hilarous safari week
What is Safari week? Are the odds improved during it?
Wait, does Illuminate work in FireRed???
I’ve been hoping to find a shiny since i was a kid. I’ve only once caught a shiny magikarp.. but since everybody has a red gyarados it didn’t count for me.
Do you just walk around the safari zone or is there a technique?
If you run out of steps does it restart the random encounter count?
Great video you are the best
Hi I’m shiny hunting for squirtle on fire red if I need to have a break or I’m down for the day do I save before the I pick the pokeball or am I doing it right by soft resetting and turning it off
Can u catch shinies in safari zone when safari week isnt there?
Yeah of course
hey how is your game play so crisp and clear if your playing on the gamecube (assuming you're using the GBA player)? Just wondering because I'm currently playing on my gamecube!
Check out Gameboy Interface for the GB Player! www.gc-forever.com/wiki/index.php?title=Game_Boy_Interface

Did you end up taking the Paras to Paris? LOL Nice shinies dude
How many games did you hunt on? 100k encounters in a week is insane. Its approx. 650 random encounters per hour including when not hunting..
6!
safari week in a nutshell by Sonikks " why do we do this? what's the deal?"
what a nice haul!! loved the vid, congrats on the shinies!
Congrats! Never done Safari week before, maybe next year will be my first? 😄
Hey sonikks, do you stream your hunts somewhere? Like twitch or something like that, i really would like to see you on streaming xD
My first ever shiny was Venomoth. Sooo pumped!
Wait so there’s a 20 percent chance rhyorn is shiny?
How do you record your gameplay? I want to stream/make videos of gen 3/4 games on an actual cartrdige but am not sure how to
I use DS capture cards. Search Loopy/Merki DS capture cards.
@@Sonikks Thank you so much
12 shinies is mental dude congrats! I’m hoping to get my first safari shiny next year, got none this year 😢
so im shiny hunting celebi on crystal and im on 2000 odd soft resets so i went to watch some shiny pokemon videos i found your channel and i just cant stop watching your videos
Thank you & good luck! Hope it shines soon!
have sword or shield?
How many SRs in total? Greetings!
Found a shiny zubat while watching 💫 thanks mate
Glad I could help! Congrats!
Congrats bro, love your videos keep it up
What is safari week, can somone explain what it is to me?
Really nice good job bro
Im hunting for Ho-Oh on VC for about 11 days and still dont get it... maaan
How long does it take to do 30k encounters?
Congrats on finding so many, no bad you didn't catch some, but 50/50 is still great
Rolling in that shiny dough👌👌👌✨
New Subscriber and amazing having 12 Shinies pop up :)
My first shiny was a shiny Pikachu in Emerald... I love to see a Safari Hunting
WOO ANOTHER SONIKKS VIDEO!!
Congrats man! Not gonna lie, while watching through, it felt like you failed way more than you caught haha. I guess venomoth can be your reclaim hunt next year! unless you decide to do gen4 instead haha.
Also, there’s a masochist joke in the safari hunting question, but I’m not clever enough to come up with it:p
congrats on the shinies! Cant wait to see which ones you caught and failed
i audibly screamed "no!" when the venomoth fled i wanted you to catch it so bad :((
Are you using gbi for the gamecubes? It looks amazing! It looks a little more pixely, but great for a gamecube
I am indeed sir. I was still trying to get used to it as much as possible throughout the week and eventually got it right on the final day (typical). The scale is set to Area by default which I don't care for nor do you I believe. Bilinear wouldn't look right but eventually I got there. Got it right for the future anyway.
*Sonikks when he gets any shiny ever*
I had feeling I was gonna get that.
How you can get pokemon shiny as fast as like that??
As fast as that? Some of them took 30,000+ encounters lol
absolutely good stuff my guy !!!!!
Awesome shinys. From Chile, good video, gran video amigo.
Gracias amigo!
I love shiny venomoth! Its a shame you didnt get it but sure looks cool.
Congrats on all the shinies. I’m intrigued, were all of those 108650 encounters quad hunted? Over 100k encounters for not consistently quad hunting would mean a mad amount of hours a day hunting surely 😮
Thanks! I actually used 6 systems this Safari Week. Two Gamecubes and 4 DS capture cards. I record on different screens.
A lot of people don’t like Tauros shiny sprite, I think it’s really nice
Funny story when i was little i found a shiny Rhyhorn. I said "this rhyhorn looks odd" i ran from the fight and looked at rhyhorn in the pokedex and said "went that was weird".
Oooof lol
Grats on all the finds!
Hello dude I loved the shiny charizard video
Ah yes the classic 3 Shake Heartbreak
What are the shiny odds?
1/8192
On my fire red playthrough back then I got shiny nidorino and nidorina from safari in the same file and they became a part of my team. Too bad I lost the game
Guess what?!?! I found a shiny golbat in Pokemon soul silver! It’s my second wild shiny since 2012??
Congrats mate
