Hey Sonikks, have you ever thought about hunting for mirage island in Pokémon ruby? It’s a vary rare island that’s appears around route 130. It’s like shiny hunting except you’re looking for a island!
Man, I really admire your sheer willpower for all these hunts! I'm currently hunting Regieleki and I just reached 1000 SRs... After 3 weeks. This will take a while...
Finally got to sit down and watch this whole hunt!! What a journey, and what a DREAM shiny in Gen 3. It was very fun to watch you bunny hop live and see all your progress on this hunt. I can only hope you can find a place to find the Zigzagoon that will ring in 2023 now that you have this!! I'm still baffled by the disappearing Lotad. I wonder if we'll ever solve the answer to that mystery (I really hope we don't find out by seeing it happen again!) You and Brendan both finding this beaut have definitely been inspiring for me to pick up where I left off 3 years ago with just one phase (which was a Wurmple I still haven't uploaded LOL). One of these days, I will hop back on that bike and hop in place for an expected 10 phases, too
1/8192 is absolutely nuts. Even the new 1/4096 odds are nuts. It blows my mind knowing that tens of thousands of people could play pokemon their entire lives and NEVER encounter a random shiny.
I just realized the shiny starter he found for this DTQ he found over a year ago, this is some true gigachad determination. Good luck on the rest of the mons, hopefully it wont take you as long as Ralts did!!
You sir, are a shiny hunting legend! The fact that you went through these encounters with the kind of patience you have is amazing! Congrats on that shiny Ralts, you've earned it! :)
I was there in a lot of streams where you hunted Ralts. It's actually crazy that sooo many phases went over odds. Really lucky for you that Ralts finally appeared on this awesome DTQ. Congrats and good luck with all your hunts!
Huge congrats man! What a gorgeous shiny. And that gen 3 sprite of Gardevoir is just *chefs kiss*. Also the fact that it was female is super fitting too! This is by far one of the coolest 10%’s one can own. I’m sure it’s one heck of a relief knowing you can also finish out the DTQ!
Considering The persistence and sheer willpower needed for this and the amount of time it took you to do this, this is one of the most amazing shinies you've got
Once again, congratulations Sonikks! This was one hell of a hunt. Literally got all four other shinies possible on this route and more before Ralts decided to shine 😂✨ you’re one of the few on RUclips who now possesses this crown jewel
Congrats on your hunt! Ralts is such a great shiny to get in gen 3. I'm having phase hell currently, as I've been trying to get a Kecleon out of Platinum's Great Marsh. On Phase 17 with only 4 shiny Pokemon caught. It's not fun but I can't stop.
@@donutlettuce4633 I got it last month actually! So insanely happy it didn't run away when it finally appeared. Only took 21 phases and now I'm working on reclaiming my Tangela that've run from me there.
So this is what it's like to find a shiny Ralts that isn't Wally's? Maybe I'll try it next time! Congrats, Steve! Absolutely love to see this after how much you put into the hunt!
I LOVE these long form shiny hunts that show all the other shinies found! I know that is super hard on you though, but it is greatly appreciated when you can! amazing vid!
This is absolutely huge! Massive congrats on this one. Really earned that ralts! I'll be coming to this video for inspiration. This is a hunt I have planned for my own sapphire dtq. Always grateful for your work.
Long time coming! Congratulations Sonikks, one of the best shinies. I haven't been hunting Latios recently but now that I'm established in Redmond for work I need to get back on it!
Love the pure determination that you have that pays off in spades! 2 way over odds phases, but one yielded the target which is such an insane feeling! Congrats Steve and on to the rest of the quest!
Duuuuude CONGRATS! I’m on phase 3 myself at 5k, I’m so glad you got this before me haha, you deserve it. This and tropias are two I’m going for that are hard phases
Oh man after 3 zigzagoons, 2 wurmple, 2 lotads, 1 pooch and over 100k encounters. Your dedication is insane, i admire you, i've never got a full odds shiny, always give up at some point xd. Congrats on the hunt!
Congratz on these shinies, they are beuatifull. Lotad and Wurmple are way cooler then I'd imagined! Also got my first nature guess: Lonely Wurmple, so proud xD The Ralts line is cherry on top, you can be very proud of that one!
Yo congrats! Such a nice shiny and really special to get it in gen 3. Also, random aside about 23:37, but how have I been playing these games for like 15 years and never knew you could do that with the cursor in the PC?!
Massive congrats! I'm planning to hunt this for a Ruby DTQ at some point and part of me is very tempted to egg hatch it but you're persistence is admirable!
Wooooo huge congrats brother! What an amazing shiny and pretty fast too considering what some other people have gone through, though 1 system is tough with all those encounters... Although I currently don't have time to hunt and haven't been for the past 2 years, it's so relieving finally seeing you get this dream shiny of mine 😍🥶 and it's a guuurl tooooo
huge congrats on the lovely shiny!! currently working on my own dream team and have hit 30k with ralts encounters, 0 shinies, i somewhat understand your struggle! good luck in any future hunts ❤️
Doing a Ralts/Lotad hunt while I'm watching this. On my third phase. Let's hope there's no more than 4! Great shinies, takes some serious time for 100k RE.
@@Sonikks Yeah, I've got a 35% chance of hitting A target so I'm not that worried, done worse odds before - but still. Hoping I get the Ralts first, that way I could move onto the route after Fallarbor and hunt there instead for Lotad and have less chance of phasing.
After seeing your video's i really want ro start my own dream team quest in gen 2. Will taken a whike before i start it. Good luck with the other team members!
Idk if anyone else noticed, but the Pokemon ID number on the top left corner turns Yellow/Golden in the Hoenn games if your Mon is shiny. Ralts looks stunning in blue, the entire generation line for this one in particular looks very nice. *cough* looking @ YOU Gengar *cough* Love the content Sonikks.
Watched the video and got motivated to turn on my GB SP, 1 hour later I found a shiny Zigzagoon, couldn't tell the difference at first on my screen, but felt it looked weird, threw a pokeball anyways and checked later and it was shiny. Insane luck!
Hey OP just realized your trainer ID is 17771 which is really dope because mine is 11711 haha was soft resetting for a hopefully solid number (ex 22222) but settled with what I got, because it’s a palindrome thru my favorite number 117. MasterChief rules, GG on the Sassy Ralts!
wow that is insane, I have a question regarding the image that appears at 0:17 where is it from how do these half repel trick things work and how do you calculate the odds for it like that, my attempts to calculate it using several ways I guessed it might work(so nothing that is likely to be accurate) got a different number than 10.26 and now my curiosity has been peaked
Whoa, congrats on the successful hunt!! What a long one, wow. Do you plan on showing off the other shinies you found in this hunt in Colosseum at some point?
Great video! People who can go through thousands of encounters are built different! Do you hunt for special trainer ids like 17771 in this video or the 00800 id in your shiny charmander video?
Congrats ralts was a dream for me to have had it put it off for a few years I started it up again a few months ago and I got the 4 percent on my second phase for my ruby dtq was so happy
wow! really good hunt! shiny ralts is one of my fav! Can i ask u how u dont evolve the shiny pokemon of the dtq?(i want to start one by myself but i have not too much time). also do u have an advice on what pokemon game doing it? Thanks heve a great time!

@@d421. In soul silver?
@@becktheguy9107 yea
It took me over 10,000 for a Shiny Pikachu in Platinum. My longest hunt BY FAR.
Im on 15300 for mewtwo on leaf green lol
This'll absolutely be a hunt I come back to watch whenever I'm like "man 3,000 encounters feels like a lot"
Finally got to sit down and watch this whole hunt!! What a journey, and what a DREAM shiny in Gen 3. It was very fun to watch you bunny hop live and see all your progress on this hunt.

1/4k is tolerable, but 1/8k is brutal.
Well shiny hunt third gen is not for the weak

exactly it would really suck it was a shiny but it's a male ralts same thing with feebas. gardevoir and milotic have to be female
Considering The persistence and sheer willpower needed for this and the amount of time it took you to do this, this is one of the most amazing shinies you've got

Heartfelt congratulations on this crazy hunt! Man, you have infinite patience! 🔥
I’ve been following this hunt on Instagram for so long lol, glad it’s finally over! Congrats dude!
Congrats on your hunt! Ralts is such a great shiny to get in gen 3.
I'm having phase hell currently, as I've been trying to get a Kecleon out of Platinum's Great Marsh.

4 months later, any luck?

The colosseum take on the shiny is actually soooo cool! Love the sleeping party sprite as well. Huge congrats on the hunt!!
13:33 you know what to do next year :) great hunt as always, i love seeing all the different shinies you encounter along the way.
Huge congraz ! This takes me back to my Shiny ralts i got in my saphire Dtq after only 3 phases
Such a dream gen 3 shiny to have
So this is what it's like to find a shiny Ralts that isn't Wally's? Maybe I'll try it next time!
Congrats, Steve! Absolutely love to see this after how much you put into the hunt!
Massive congrats Sonikks! Gen 3 ralts is one of the all-time classic shinies, it must feel so great to get this hunt under your belt!
I LOVE these long form shiny hunts that show all the other shinies found! I know that is super hard on you though, but it is greatly appreciated when you can! amazing vid!
This is absolutely huge! Massive congrats on this one. Really earned that ralts!

This was by far one of the longest hunts I have seen on this channel. Keep up the awesome work on your videos!
Long time coming! Congratulations Sonikks, one of the best shinies. I haven't been hunting Latios recently but now that I'm established in Redmond for work I need to get back on it!
i love your pfp
Love the pure determination that you have that pays off in spades! 2 way over odds phases, but one yielded the target which is such an insane feeling! Congrats Steve and on to the rest of the quest!
Huge congrats on the Ralts after 100K encounters, that's massive!
Man, I cant believe you went for it. You are an absolute legend! Keep it up man! 👍
Duuuuude CONGRATS! I’m on phase 3 myself at 5k, I’m so glad you got this before me haha, you deserve it. This and tropias are two I’m going for that are hard phases
Absolutely insane hunt! Shiny Ralts is one of the best in Gen 3, congrats man!
Sonikks Man a heartfelt congratulations to u mate !!!! An absolute crazy hunt for this shiny , but yeah major props buddy !!!!
major congrats on getting it under the expected amount of phases! absolutely fantastic shiny, stoked to see the dtq progress!
This is so refreshing after all the legends Arceus shiny hunting videos everyone is doing now. Those are good but this is so much better. Congrats!
I'm doing my first gen 3 starter shiny hunt and I always come back to this video when I want to quit lol love the content man
Sonikks is the biggest shiny hunter in the whole pokémon community! Congratulations!
Oh man after 3 zigzagoons, 2 wurmple, 2 lotads, 1 pooch and over 100k encounters. Your dedication is insane, i admire you, i've never got a full odds shiny, always give up at some point xd. Congrats on the hunt!
Mad respect for your determination! Max hours, with 1 gym badge and 25 Dex entries. That’s extremely low deviation! 💯💯💯
Congratz on these shinies, they are beuatifull.
Lotad and Wurmple are way cooler then I'd imagined!
Also got my first nature guess: Lonely Wurmple, so proud xD
The Ralts line is cherry on top, you can be very proud of that one!
Cheers dude. I love how the livestream folks always guess boosted natures though 😂
Yo congrats! Such a nice shiny and really special to get it in gen 3.
Also, random aside about 23:37, but how have I been playing these games for like 15 years and never knew you could do that with the cursor in the PC?!
congrats! As someone who's at almost 22,5k soft resets for Mudkip in HGSS, it's really motivating to see someone get a shiny after a long hunt. :)
Damn dude, good luck. That's a really cool one though, not many go for those. Good luck!
@@Sonikks Thank you! I already got the other hoenn starters in HGSS and I'm trying to complete the trio :)
I thought I recognised your name. I've seen your videos on them & subbed when you got Treecko.
Awesome Shiny my man, just failed a Marowak in the HG safari zone while watching this so glad one of us got lucky!
gl on the reclaim, ty for watching
Congrats Steve! Ralts has such a great shiny
I loved this hunt. Good work and sending future shiny lucky to you!
I was waiting for you to reveal what the Wurmples evolved into!! Were they different like you wanted?
Massive congrats! I'm planning to hunt this for a Ruby DTQ at some point and part of me is very tempted to egg hatch it but you're persistence is admirable!
Wooooo huge congrats brother! What an amazing shiny and pretty fast too considering what some other people have gone through, though 1 system is tough with all those encounters... Although I currently don't have time to hunt and haven't been for the past 2 years, it's so relieving finally seeing you get this dream shiny of mine 😍🥶 and it's a guuurl tooooo
Great video!!! They look phenomenal in Coliseum
Your patience is incredible! I’m hunting alpha snorlax in legends arceus and on phase 5 so far
One of the best shinies ever! Congratulations!✨
I'm so fuckin depressed idk how you guys sit through all these attempts, admire the willpower.
Wow another long hunt, thank god you got it! I think it looks awesome congrats! 🎉
Found a shiny wurmple while watching video, I'm not even shiny hunting lol
I got my ralts in 3 encounters…..pretty sure I used up all my luck for the rest of the year 😂 good on you for not giving up!
Congrats on the catches my dude! Makes me want to eventually hunt this blue beauty!!!
Congrats Steve!! A gorgeous shiny! 😍
wow, what an odyssey to get ralts, congrats on that!!! and good video
Nice catch. Such a beautiful shiny, especially in gen 3 games
Been hunting shiny ralts for 2 years, good job for the sheer determination
huge congrats on the lovely shiny!! currently working on my own dream team and have hit 30k with ralts encounters, 0 shinies, i somewhat understand your struggle! good luck in any future hunts ❤️
Can't believe you finally got it, congrats!
Congratulations man! I love shiny Ralts so much!
Doing a Ralts/Lotad hunt while I'm watching this. On my third phase. Let's hope there's no more than 4! Great shinies, takes some serious time for 100k RE.
Good luck. The repel trick makes it 10% so it's an average of 10 phases. It's really not too bad as there is a lot of variety in the area.
@@Sonikks Yeah, I've got a 35% chance of hitting A target so I'm not that worried, done worse odds before - but still. Hoping I get the Ralts first, that way I could move onto the route after Fallarbor and hunt there instead for Lotad and have less chance of phasing.
Really great description and video!
100k encounters is insane!! Nice work! What capture card are you using for your GBA? Might start trying to record my Battle Pyramid hunt in Emerald…
Thanks Sam. I use a DS capture card. 3dscapture.com if you're interested.
Great video as always, congrats on the shine :)
oooh congrats!! definietly a bucket list shiny!!
Man I really like ur edits and ur videos i hope it goes better on ur next hunt
After seeing your video's i really want ro start my own dream team quest in gen 2. Will taken a whike before i start it. Good luck with the other team members!
Keep up the gen 3 hunts man.. so addicting to watch.
I have mine as well!!!! Mine came at 8,218 at phase 4, and it’s a male, super glad you got yours though man!
One of the best Pokémon. One of the best Shinies. Ralts and it’s evolutions are among my favorites
Idk if anyone else noticed, but the Pokemon ID number on the top left corner turns Yellow/Golden in the Hoenn games if your Mon is shiny. Ralts looks stunning in blue, the entire generation line for this one in particular looks very nice. *cough* looking @ YOU Gengar *cough* Love the content Sonikks.
The white background behind the Pokémon also lights up
Iconic shiny for an epic hunter, congrats bro
Congrats on finally getting it
Congrats on finally getting Ralts. Crazy to think how long it took. I'm kinda scared for my 10% Turtonator, even thought it'll be 1 in 4k
Absolutely incredible! Just started the same hunt for ralts and this video gives me a ton of inspiration :)
Contrats!
You finally catch that Shiny Ralts!
Got get another Shiny!
Huge congrats! What a hunt!
Watched the video and got motivated to turn on my GB SP, 1 hour later I found a shiny Zigzagoon, couldn't tell the difference at first on my screen, but felt it looked weird, threw a pokeball anyways and checked later and it was shiny. Insane luck!
congrats man...hell of a shiny hit...idk if i could do a 10% unless i was doin 10 systems lol
I remember when the torchic video came out! This is sweet
Awesome video! Love the shiny!
The most amazing part to me is how FEW pokeballs you go in with! Thats something im too scared to pull!!
Hey OP just realized your trainer ID is 17771 which is really dope because mine is 11711 haha was soft resetting for a hopefully solid number (ex 22222) but settled with what I got, because it’s a palindrome thru my favorite number 117. MasterChief rules, GG on the Sassy Ralts!
I love how you can tell that this hunt took a long time by how your mic quality improves haha
Congrats, love to see it.

Congratulations Sonikks lol everytime you say Gardevoir it sounds like you're saying God of War 😆
Whoa, congrats on the successful hunt!! What a long one, wow. Do you plan on showing off the other shinies you found in this hunt in Colosseum at some point?
Great video! People who can go through thousands of encounters are built different! Do you hunt for special trainer ids like 17771 in this video or the 00800 id in your shiny charmander video?
Big congrats dude! This guy is my egg month target, mainly so I can run destiny bond on it (and shamefully not have to phase) 😅
Even a masuda method hunt, on Sword, *with the shiny charm* for Ralts drove me nuts, this is unbelievable
The best time to get a shiny is when your barely paying attention to your games. Congrats on the dive ball ralts Steve super cool!
*Ralts dex entry*
Sonikks: “YESSS I FOUND YOU!!! You’re so beautiful!!”
Ralts: “DUDE YOU FOUND ME, YES! You’re beautiful too!!”
SR over a Chikorita in HertGold while watching this. Congrats on Ralts!
Damn that’s a lot of encounters
I thought ralts knew teleport in the wild, very happy I was wrong 😂
heck ya im going for shaymin in BDSP got a little inspired to livestream it so will see how that works out good luck on your hunts
Congrats ralts was a dream for me to have had it put it off for a few years I started it up again a few months ago and I got the 4 percent on my second phase for my ruby dtq was so happy
