Did you know that cows are social animals, and they naturally form large herds & tend to follow each other without direction? How about you be like a cow & follow me WITH direction, on Twitter? twitter.com/Sonikks1
lol when I find the shiny, it sounds like I have edited out a naughty word during my reaction. I swear (ironically) I didn't. I don't really remember but I think I might have stopped myself from saying something & it ended up sounding like an edit. Honestly that's quite funny, never noticed that during editing.
It’s cool to see this content still exists! Playing good old games instead of just wonder trading streams, congrats on the shiny man! Here’s me sub good sir
Your patience on this one has been rewarder with that shiny Miltank. My most sincere congrats, Sonikks. You've worked very hard on this one, and that shiny Miltank is very well deserved. Keep going!!
Congrats on the awesome shiny. You're my favorite shiny hunter to watch and encourage me to continue my hunts. Good luck with the rest of your DTQ. Cant wait to see the next one.
My goodness this shiny is gorgeous, the baby blue looks stunning, everything just fits so well. Definitely want to hunt this in HGSS now, congrats Steve!
YAY! Love Miltank, she’s my second favourite Pokémon and the star of my phone case 😂 A lovely shiny (although better in Gen 3 for me!) and a very underrated, speedy Pokémon. Well done Steve! 🍼
Thank you Jack! Yeah I really like the Emerald sprite for her, it's honestly my favourite. She looks beautiful in 3rd Gen for sure. You know I'm all about those Gen 4 sparkles though. ;)
Awesome, you got it! I had my fingers crossed that you would get it quickly, but what matters is that it turned blue in the end. On the first phase, no less! Congrats!
Smikes First of all , amazing shiny mate , I truly missed your videos and everything , and also I miss playing the Johto remakes as well , I remember playing these games in the good old days
Hey Sonikks, quick question here. Is there anyway to repel trick for a shiny Sentret out in the wild (preferably so I can catch it in a Love Ball)? I’ve been at one for so long (at least 300+ hours).
Use this program and Serebii/Bulbapedia to locate the places Sentret is dude; github.com/AngefloSH/PokemonEncCalc/releases There's a really good place on Route 1 actually in both HG/SS. Repel 3 repel trick (Bring WhiteFlute/Illuminate) gives you 50% Sentret, 37.5% Pidgey and 12.5% Furret. You can actually do a level 5 repel trick for Furret there too but it's quite slow. Best of luck!
Congrats!!! I put this in my Watch Later. This would be a really good Shiny to Hunt in HeartGold!!!^.^ I Repel Tricked Shiny Hoppip the Route right in between Azalea Town and that cave. I think the Repel Trick is Lv 8 and morning only but I cannot remember you can look it up on Bulbapedia!
it moo Congrats on the shiny Miltank, Steve. Seeing it sparkle on the cap card makes me want to hunt now. Just one more week in mosquito land. Good luck on your Safari and other hunts!
It’s funny how you looked back at your miltank as you got the encounter it’s like you asked your miltank “Hey are you blue yet?” Miltank response is “why actually yes yes I am”
Good luck. I have been doing the same thing as well as a Palkia hunt in Pearl on and off. I figured it would be fast, but so far I have been unlucky with it.
Hey sonikks, I just started shiny hunting for the first time. I am currently 2,988 REs in trying to catch shiny Lugia in Alpha sapphire. But how do you keep from getting burned out? What do you do while shiny hunting? How often do you take breaks and do you have a routine for hunting? like an hour per day or something. Im about to give up.
Good luck. Make huntng the background task. Hunt while you're watching a stream, series, TV etc. If it's all you do, it's gonna get boring. Set a goal for yourself. "I'm gonna do X amount today" can help too.
grats man! I'm hunting here in my Heart Gold #1 here as well. I have a Farfetch'd and 2 Hoothootss/1 Noctowl but I would love to get Miltank first phase.
I'm wanting to start shiny hunting. I found a shiny Chansey while EXP grinding in Ultra Moon and the rush I got when I saw it was unreal. It's addictive.
Phasing is a term for when shiny hunters do not get their target Pokemon on the first try or Lord forbid they fail it. Lets say he got a different shiny instead like ditto during the first encounter. That would be phase 1. If the next shiny Pokemon he found was Miltank (following phase 1) then we would say he got his target Pokemon Miltank on phase 2. In the case that the shiny is failed he would have to search again and find the target Pokemon which shiny hunters call a reclaim.
Question for you I'm trying to go around to collect up some of the old poke.on games so far got Pokemon Y, Ultra Sun, and Soulsiover, Leaf but idk where I should get heartgold so I was wondering for an opinion should I trust buying one off Amazon?
I haven't personally purchased any Pokémon games that were not new from Amazon. I don't know if I'm the best person to ask. I will tell you to exercise caution on online sites of course. I buy frequently from Ebay and I recommend you don't buy without a return policy, try to buy with a box/manuals to decrease the chance of a fake & always buy through PayPal.
I literally just found one last night in the same exact spot.. on about the 3rd or 4th miltank haha. Took about 5 far fetched and fearows but it had to be the 3rd or 4th miltank.. I wasn’t even shiny hunting just on a normal play through lmao I’m happy though first shiny I’ve ever caught and it’s a strong one 😂
How do you keep going after a while and not get disheartened I'm currently hunting ho-oh in soulsilver and I've done exactly 66,469 SR's and still haven't found it
Make hunting the background task. I never focus on hunting. I swear people think I just sit here & mindlessly reset my games. I hunt after work usually & watch TV, shows, streams etc.
Sonikks thanks man! I have a quick story. Back in the day when I first started playing Pokémon, I got a random shiny oshowat on my first ever playthrough of white. Sadly I lost the game file somewhere :(
Excuse me but I have a question: How do you play your games? Emulator or real hardware? Sorry if you have already answered this but I'm new to your channel :^)
First phase?! I've been looking for shiny Mareep for almost 5 months and phase 3 16600 so far. Granted I'm not using any methods because I'm not familiar with them plus I only have one badge. Awesome work!
Ive found 2 shiny miltanks here by accident while level grinding on two seperate playthroughs on the same cartridge. Theyre also the only full odds shinies ive ever found so its a bummer i got a duplicate
I need that wish of luck. I got a lapras chain a mile long and have spawned over 600 in Let's Go and not one sparkled. Found like a dozen shiny magikarp and tentacool and one odd shiny tentacruel.
Man congrats happy to see more of your hunts how is your Hydreigon one going? (I'm being on university so it's hard for me to see some of your streams) but still AWESOME work keep doing what ya like :D
Thanks and good luck with university! I haven't started Deino yet, that's coming up soon though for sure. Might stream it, haven't streamed too often lately.
Did you know that cows are social animals, and they naturally form large herds & tend to follow each other without direction?
How about you be like a cow & follow me WITH direction, on Twitter? twitter.com/Sonikks1
Sonikks no u
Ye!
congrats on the shiny!
Sonikks, buddy, I’ll follow you... but I won’t follow that *cow*
Finally the excuse I was looking for to unfollow 😊

no swearing on my christian server 😬😬😬
This is freaking hilarious. Still love the vid, i wouldnt mind if you accidentally swore because everyone is caught by surprise sometimes 🦀🦀🦀
@ERA CASTE Yes, it's a live reaction. Tetra? not really, I just delete the videos each week anyway.
Miltank has such a cool blue shiny! Congrats on the first longer phase Steve!
"hopefully it won't take too long, Steelix took forever"

aww hahahah well good perseverance mate.
Your dream team is coming together quite swiftly. Good luck on Hitmontop and Rapidash!

Thanks man!
Congrats, it looks amazing!!

Steve: "Imma call it there for this video"
Prof. Oak: "say no more" *calls*
Congrats on the awesome shiny. You're my favorite shiny hunter to watch and encourage me to continue my hunts. Good luck with the rest of your DTQ. Cant wait to see the next one.
Thanks man! GL on yours!
27 k RES? That’s some motivation right there my man. Congrats on your blue cow
Congrats yo!! Miltanks colors are insane, beautiful cow
Congrats Steve! Shiny Miltank looks really nice. Best of luck with the rest of your DTQ :)
My goodness this shiny is gorgeous, the baby blue looks stunning, everything just fits so well. Definitely want to hunt this in HGSS now, congrats Steve!
I wish I were as dedicated as you. You earned yourself a new subscriber.
YAY! Love Miltank, she’s my second favourite Pokémon and the star of my phone case 😂 A lovely shiny (although better in Gen 3 for me!) and a very underrated, speedy Pokémon. Well done Steve! 🍼
Thank you Jack! Yeah I really like the Emerald sprite for her, it's honestly my favourite. She looks beautiful in 3rd Gen for sure. You know I'm all about those Gen 4 sparkles though. ;)
Finding a shiny is a feeling like no other
Just wanted to say, you’ve inspired me to start a DTQ in SoulSilver. Acquired my shiny Totodile today after 619 SRs!
That's awesome man, congrats. Go for it!
How's the DTQ going?
everytime you say "hopefully it won't take too long" it ends up being 20k+ xD great vid tho man keep em coming!
I curse myself :) Thanks!
congrats on getting it first phase!!!!!! definitely one of my dream shinies :)
What is a phase?
So let's say I get Farfetch'd first, that's phase 1. If I carry on hunting Miltank and then it shines, that's phase 2.
@@Sonikks What's the difference? Or the significance i should say. I'm new to this shiny hunting stuff lol.
@@venheartzeil3070 just to keep track of how many shinies you found while searching for your current target
Congrats! Can't wait to see the next member of your dream team shine!
Awesome, you got it! I had my fingers crossed that you would get it quickly, but what matters is that it turned blue in the end. On the first phase, no less! Congrats!
Thank you!
Man, this seems to be an extremely elusive shiny. I’ve been hunting on and off since last thanksgiving and no luck, but congrats on yours!!!!
Best of luck man.
YESS YOU FINALLY GOT IT AFTER MONTHS! CONGRATS!!!
Congrats Sonikks! It sucks that this hunt took so long but I'm glad to see that you got your target first phase!!
What a beautiful blue cow
what does first phase mean
Smikes First of all , amazing shiny mate , I truly missed your videos and everything , and also I miss playing the Johto remakes as well , I remember playing these games in the good old days
Aaaah, the saga continues! Congrats!
Love watching your videos while I shiny hunt! Good luck on your hunts!
Thanks man, you too!
Feels bad how you said "let's hope this doesn't take to long because steelix was a while" And just see the 27 000 in the title ...
Well done Sonniks! Worth the long hunt, the shiny is amazing!

We love the unique hunts bro. Keep it up cuz damn no one hunting like you
If i save while doing REs and turn off my game will it affect my Shiny Hunting like is back to 0 encounters?
Shiny Miltank is one of the best shiny ! Congrats for the cow !
Congrats on the blueberry milk flavored sparkling miltank Steve.
Congrats man, gotta be a relief to have this finished with. Now you can tryhard safari week.
Thanks Samwise, you know it!
Very nice Shiny and good luck on future hunts!
MandJtv: TRIGGERED!
Nice Shiny! Congrats On that Shiny Miltank!!
Hey long time no see! How have you been
Woohoo you finally got it! shiny miltank is such a nice color I love it! awesome man!!
Congrats!!! I put this in my Watch Later. This would be a really good Shiny to Hunt in HeartGold!!!^.^ I Repel Tricked Shiny Hoppip the Route right in between Azalea Town and that cave.

Nice, Hoppip is a nice shiny! Thanks man!
Awesome Steve. Finally got it. Happy the dry spell is over.
Wow, what a long hunt! Congrats Steve!

Congrats on the shiny Miltank, Steve. Seeing it sparkle on the cap card makes me want to hunt now. Just one more week in mosquito land. Good luck on your Safari and other hunts!
CONGRATS ON THE BEAUTIFUL BLUE COW!!!!! ALSO, GOOD LUCK FOR SAFARI WEEK!!!!
THANK YOU & YOU IF YOU ARE PARTICIPATING!
I’m really excited for hitmontop. Can’t wait 😬
Congrats dude what an amazing target!
It’s funny how you looked back at your miltank as you got the encounter it’s like you asked your miltank
“Hey are you blue yet?”
Miltank response is “why actually yes yes I am”
B E E Y O U T I F U L !
Huge congrats man!!
Your videos have inspired me to start shiny hunting, Im currently trying to get a shiny litten starter, currently on 35 SRs
For your on sanity do shiny swapping or hunt other starters, sun and moon are terrible with shiny hunting the starters
@@Yental im over 100 now and i lost my sanity the second i hit 50, i timed myself and it took 1 hour 11 mins to get through 10 lol
Congrats Steve!
Huge W
Currently Soft Reseting For One of the Starters In HG! Just started 30 minutes ago and I hope I get it shortly!
Good luck man! 😀
Good luck. I have been doing the same thing as well as a Palkia hunt in Pearl on and off. I figured it would be fast, but so far I have been unlucky with it.
Good luck guys!
Thanks guys!
I actually got a random full odss milktank in these games when I was like 11. Its such a great shiny, congrats! Best of luck with safari week!
Nice man! Thanks, you too!
Great hunt sonikks!!!! Determination personified

grats man! I'm hunting here in my Heart Gold #1 here as well. I have a Farfetch'd and 2 Hoothootss/1 Noctowl but I would love to get Miltank first phase.
Congrats man!
such a long hunt but at least it was 1st phase! congratulations!
Thanks!
How long does 1000 encounters take? I know it can vary a bit but I want to know an idea
Great shiny! I’m glad you got her.
I'm wanting to start shiny hunting. I found a shiny Chansey while EXP grinding in Ultra Moon and the rush I got when I saw it was unreal. It's addictive.
Try going through the ultra wormhole a few times you should get one in like 20 minutes
Awesome, congrats!!!
Nice video! Congratzz!!
This is a member of my heart gold quest also. Not looking forward to this one very much but it'll be easier than Heracross lmao
I hope you don't phase too much, good luck
congrats my dude!
Congrats on the blue mooer!! I have a question though. What exactly is a “phase” when shiny hunting???
i think elsewhere he said it was the first shiny he encountered? as opposed to running into shiny farfetch'd first and then shiny milktank later
Phasing is a term for when shiny hunters do not get their target Pokemon on the first try or Lord forbid they fail it. Lets say he got a different shiny instead like ditto during the first encounter.

Shiny miltank was one of my first shinys ... Sadly I gave it away because kid me thought that a lvl. 100 legendary was worth more.
Just spent hours grinding in this spot and sadly didn’t get anything but I definitely didn’t reach enough encounters to reach odds.
Hey just started shiny hunting ho oh hope I find it quick it will be my first ever shiny legendary. I'm currently at 336 soft resets
Ethan Ribardy I’ve been hunting it for 13 days! Hope you get it soon.
GL!

Goodness, three times over odds. Good shiny :)
