@@MNMNT_OG There is no guarantee. You could be lucky and get it on your first try, or be unlucky and don't make it in your life time even if you were to reset non stop.
This is CRAZY! I thought you could save before encountering, but you actually need to do all the process since the beggining? Thats crazy. Congrats on doing this!! I'm amazed
With everyone and their mother getting easy shinies just a few days after the release of Crown Tundra, it's refreshing to see someone hunting the old-fashioned way. Congrats on the find! :)
Amazing!! this year I got my shiny roaming Raikou(I started in 2017), I thought he would never be shiny but your videos really inspired me to keep going. Your dedication to shiny hunting is truly amazing! I want to do a starter hunt but after the last one I fear it's gonna take too long
Yet another shiny while you watch vines. I think they're your lucky charm lmao. Congrats bro! Such a good shiny! PS I also saw this unlisted watching the roamer playlist
Nice find! I admire how you always prepare for these captures because my first full odds shiny that i purposefully hunted, which was a Tangela in SS, i nearly failed because i hadn't prepared enough. Had to master ball it. Good luck on the rest of your roamer quest!
When I played SoulSilver over a decade ago, and wanted to catch a shiny Latios, I just used an action replay code to make one appear in the wild for me. I regret nothing.
@Anthony Thatcher Action Replay is/was a 3rd-party piece of hardware designed to have GBA and DS game cartridges. You put the Action Replay device into your DS, put your DS cartridge into the game slot on the action replay, turn on your DS and then run any pre-programmed cheat codes on your game.
@Anthony Thatcher Nope, not in the slightest. Though it did make getting competitive ready pokemon a whole hell of a lot easier, what with being able to set IVs snd Natures and all. RNG is the bane of all Pokemon games, and action replay killed it.
The way you play makes your games seem so majestic.. idk how to explain it but I definitely feel that in your outro, like all your hard work makes the game reward you with all the beautiful legendaries. Well done
So happy to sit back and watch this! Congrats on Latios and finished HGSS roamers, quite the insane achievement! Loved the talk during the capture of Latios too. About the shiny hunting and do it for the purity of the fun it can entail, and not for competition. Hoenn is also my home to growing up too. These Latis are just so beautiful. Can’t wait to see what’s next! Congrats again dude🥳
Thank you for teaching me the way to hunt this! I am planning to hunt Latias in my copy of Japanese heartgold over the summer. You're awesome, Steve, keep doing what you do :D
It can’t be stated enough the mental capacity one needs to have to hunt a shiny roamer. This is def a level above soft resetting static encounters, congrats!
Thanks for the great advice! I really like your videos, it motivates me to do hunts on my own! My Suicune roamer in Fire red is taking so long. I might put it on hold and do another one instead. It was good that you took a well deserved break! It is great to have you back!
Your commitment is on a whole other level, and it's amazing. I've been droughting for months at this point, haven't seen a single thing, but this has given me some encouragement and motivation. 😊 Congrats on this beautiful shiny!
Sure nowadays you can get a shiny Latios in SWSH in a few days. But nothing compares to a journey of catching a roaming legendary on your favourite childhood game. Congrats man!
Congrats my man! Awsome shiny, both Latios and Latias! You said a real truth, hunt what you want when you want! Motivation is the key, sometimes we need to take a break to get the motivation higher. Well good luck ont the next hunt!
Yet another amazing shiny Steve , that shiny Latios color is just gorgeous and stunning , hope you’re doing well and safe lately mate with the pandemic 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
congrats dude!! another incredible shiny in the belt. you're so crazy with these, and ive enjoyed watching all of them. you're amazing for doing these! congratulations man
I'm new to the channel and was lucking forward to this one, shiny Latios is beautiful! Congrats! Forgot to mention I got my shiny starter charmander in Leaf Green while watching one of your vids, so thank you! =D
@@Sonikks Thank you very much! I was stoked and also got the Shiny Charmander with the Cubone costume in Pokemon Go. Redemption after not getting it last year huauhahuaha
Imagine finding a shiny Latios while playing Ruby on your GBA, not knowing what is a shiny Pokémon. Well, that was me, and I still have that Latios fortunatelly 😂
I remember telling you this thing was going to 20k, super glad you got it sooner. The Shiny Latios sprite in 4th gen looks soooo good in SS. Can’t wait to see what you plan to hunt next.
Honestly felt like this was going to be a long one tbh. I've been to 17k and 19k now for Roamers so I've avoided the 20k curse. Just hope the next one isn't the one lmao. Thanks Pale! GL on the hunts!
Cool beans I'm planning to go after celebi in crystal, latios or well roaming legendaries in general are one of the hardest things to hunt, your commitment is honestly astounding
i always love how you start these hunts. Because of your videos, i really want to try out a shiny raikou hunt soon in Soulsilver, and make it part of my dream team quest!
Congrats on the shiny latios... I remember encountering shiny latias, not realising it was shiny(never encountered a shiny before... Hadn't heard about the before) and killed her with ice beam... Did not realise she was weak to ice type attacks... I was 8
Zekole Tbh his reactions are completely normal. I mean when I encountered my first shiny ever I was more hyped than now. Doesn’t mean tho that he or me is not happy about the shiny. For me this is more real than someone who screams fake af
Good job on this shiny on your roamed quest! Image if the roamers in gen 8 are not shiny locked. That would be awful to hunt but I know how unlikely that would be.
Did you really have to go from the save file you used before talking to the NPC? Or could you get it to one of your roots, save before stepping into the grass, and reset quicker? Or would it be the same frame every reset by doing it that way?
What a beautiful shiny. I'm the same with the Hoenn region: it's like a home to me. I love going back and seeing what's in my Sapphire PC box and battling the Elite Four over and over. Gen 3 always gives me that bit of nostalgia as it's the generation I grew up with. I'd watch my brother play XD Gale of Darkness and I'd play Sapphire when I learned what Pokémon was and how to play. It's such a great game!

Hey have you hunted trapinch before?
This is Gold
Your commitment to the hunt is remarkable, congrats on the shiny roamer!
Thanks, that's great of you to say!
It’s the thrill of the hunt!
For real. I love shiny hunting but I could never do these roaming hunts... His dedication is second to none. 😂
@Connor Trawick he actually streams shiny hunting too. its so chill i highly recommend it
Oh damn i did not expect to see JC here, I used to watch all ur vids JC happy to see ur into shiny hunting too
I always am fascinated by these hunts because I would never have the patience to do these.
That's why he takes time to upload.
I'd always be worried that I'm doing sth wrong and just waste my time xD

Childhood dream right there... amazing!
Your not the only who had that dream of trying to get a shiny Latios in soulsilver
Thanks! Such a good shiny!
@@Sonikks imagine getting a shiny latios only for it to get brave nature 😥
@The Racing Monkey didn’t know you were a Pokémon fan
11:43 Uses spore to put latios to sleep...
Latios: *I SLEEP WITH MY EYES OPEN*
Built different
The good old days where pokemon sleep with their eyes open they are like you better not try anything funny I am watching
I can't believe, that these games are already 10.5 years old...
Congratulations on your shiny Latios. :)
The last good games
@@WakeUpThisMorning_ imo black and white 2 where the last good pokemon games, after those games it just didn't feel the same anymore
@@rj7449 agreed
@@WakeUpThisMorning_ I like oras too, but the series definitely peaked in gen 4 with characters and quality.
Wow was watching the roaming playlist and saw this while it was Unlisted
Haha I forgot you could do that. Congrats on being first!
True fan right here 😂
One of the all-time best shinies in Pokémon history! What a beauty! Welcome back from your break Steve, it’s great to see content from you again.
Thanks Jack! Absolutely agree. Stay safe mate.
This is CRAZY! I thought you could save before encountering, but you actually need to do all the process since the beggining? Thats crazy. Congrats on doing this!! I'm amazed
Yea if that's what he does it's beyond crazy. If you assume 2 minutes from the restart to encounter, 12 000 resets means 400 hours..
That’s crazy 9 people asked
With everyone and their mother getting easy shinies just a few days after the release of Crown Tundra, it's refreshing to see someone hunting the old-fashioned way. Congrats on the find! :)
Easy ? I haven’t even got one in Dynamax adventure 😔 but I got a shiny delibird in a den raid tho
Sure, Jan.
I wait for the day where you find a random shiny while showing off the shiny you just caught

Glad you're still around, all other old school shiny hunters are kinda inactive atm. Keep it going man😁✌🏻, wish me luck for my RE Electrike hunt.
Good luck!
The eon twins are my favorites 🥺 Congrats!!! 💗
They're so beautiful aren't they? Thanks!
@@Sonikks Indeed!! 💗
Holy...12k encounters. That’s a different level of patience
Congrats, man! Makes me want to jump on my Soul Silver game and hunt now, even though I gave it to my nephew 2 years ago. Rip
Man, you're really very patient! You deserved this Latios Shiny!
I've always liked the wild battle theme in kanto from hgss. Its actually better then some gym leader, boss, champion etc themes in my opinion.
Too bad he didn't have gb sounds on
That would require me turning it on every reset unfortunately. Not worth.
@@Sonikks couldn't you just turn it on in the building and then save and continue the hunt?
Mad respect right here. Currently shiny hunting Giratina in Pokémon Sword and I can tell you I do not have as much patience as you lol.
Funny thing is its just 1/100 in SwSh.. It just takes forever to reset..
@@nani4906 yeah, I did some averaging and it takes an average of 18mins just to complete one
Congrats, steve. You’re so close to finishing the quest!
