3 LIVE Shiny Larvitar! 64583 REs in Safari Zone! [SBQ#12]

[7-22-17, 11-11-17, 3-17-18]
Hey guys, still mind blown that I finally caught one! I wanted to make the video as fast as possible for a 3-shiny video so here's some information that I left out:
I found Pokerus (~1/21,845) FIVE times during these Larvitar hunts, yet shinies (1/8192) only three times, pretty interesting right? ;)
I couldn't have done it without all of the support on Twitch, Twitter, Reddit, and of course, here on KZbin as well. Thank you all so much for supporting me through kind words on this hunt, and for picking on me which made me want to end it sooner! Some of my favorites are "Larvitar after over 100,000", "is your Larvitar running? Well you better go catch it!", and "I h8 u". Good stuff!
I'd really appreciate if you all could watch until the end, I tried to make it as entertaining as possible the whole way through so you have a long time to hunt without needing to change the video. It'll help my video through KZbin's algorithm if you don't skip around, however I understand if you do :)
Please share this video! On top of the TEN MONTHS it took to finally catch this shiny, it also took quite a few hours to get the editing right. After such a long journey, it would mean a lot if this video did well enough to get into my top 10 most viewed!
Thank you all once again!
Places you can find me:
Twitch to watch me get shinies like this live - / shinycollector98
Twitter so you can see the shiny and pictures of evolutions before they're on KZbin - / shinycollector9
Reddit, I'm pretty new to it, so idk shrugs - / shinycollector98_

[@shinycollector]

Lately I’ve gotten a lot of messages saying throwing bait or mud would’ve made it more likely to catch. This is statistically incorrect. The best chance to catch is if you just throw Safari balls from the start. This is because it can flee on that turn you throw mud/bait, and the increased catch chance or decreased flee rate do not make up for it.

[@Elver-gl_rga]

How can you get the rocks for you can place them down?Also Does it only have to be the be the rocks to have a 100% larvitar encounter rate?I would really appreciate if you read this.

[@shinycollector]

EmmanuelPlayz & More it has to be the setup I said, because that’s how he gets there. Serebii for how to gain access to them

[@Elver-gl_rga]

@@shinycollector Thank you for taking time out of your day to answer my comment.

[@WilliamMurphy-wp79]

Nooooope, I'll hatch for Larvitar any day. They may take longer to hatch, but at least they don't run away. I couldn't handle watching a shiny run, especially after that many SRs

[@shinycollector]

Yeah I get what you're saying, but it was overall less time to do it this way, so I'll take it with a couple fails!

[@WilliamMurphy-wp79]

ShinyCollector98 no doubt, you're made if sterner stuff than I, sir. After that first run away I'd probably fall into a depression and not be able to boot the game for a week, haha

[@lumberjacktl97]

How is it faster to RE 60k times than gen7 shiny charm masuda 500 times lol.

[@shinycollector]

I think you missed the part where this was for my badge quest. Everything I hunt is full odds, so yeah Full Odds eggs in gen 7 would be faster still. But I hunted this specifically so I could have it on my Heart Gold SBQ. For what I specifically wanted, this was the fastest way. Assuming I average the same for breeding in gen 7 as I did here, 10k eggs there would actually still be about the same time as 60k encounters here, so not actually saving time anymore. And gen 6/7 ruined a lot of shinies.

[@tlotpwist3417]

It was already a pain in the ass to catch a regular one for a good nature lol

[@dragonragevideos4565]

so easy for us viewers to just skip it but i know the pain of all the hours you put into that nice catch. proud of the results my man

[@shinycollector]

brandon faris Thanks! I feel like a lot of people don’t realize that so when people post things like “Shiny at 3:00” or something I just kind of blank stare my phone. Like I hunt for so many hours, you can wait a few minutes lol I even add hunt explanations and try to make that entertaining at the beginnings too. But yeah thanks, it means a lot that someone acknowledged it like that!!

[@dragonragevideos4565]

Most viewer's are kids mate, dont take it to heart. i have been playing pokemon since i was 15 im 35 now lol and still shiny hunting

[@shinycollector]

Yeah I guess you're right. And wow, that's a long time! lol I've been playing since I was 3 and hunting since I was 12 a little over 7 years ago

[@TheFadedShade]

I got my shiny larvitar on my second egg hatch 2 years ago. I freaked out in front of my whole family, they were so confused

[@Cometstarlight]

That is some freaking power of will, man. Even after seven months, I stopped SRing for Lugia in this version. Good for you!!

[@shinycollector]

Cometstarlight I think you should go back and continue Lugia, it’s got a really nice shiny! And if you’re feeling low on luck, just come back to this video for motivation :D

[@Cometstarlight]

Will do! XD

[@RedLeopardVideos]

Congrats on this shiny. I would have given up at that point. I never had that much dedication to shiny hunting. I always wanted this shiny, but I was never able to find it. Maybe I will find it one day.

[@shinycollector]

Honestly as long as you don't have ridiculously long phases like I did, this will be the fastest way to get a shiny Larvitar, on average you'd have 3 fails. Do it across 2 or more games and E-Z. Thanks R Kelly!

[@shinycollector]

Leto85 it absolutely is! You can see it on the other HG SBQ videos

[@BrownkingownzU]

I'm not all Pokémon nerdy, and could careless about all the things that may be right/wrong. I enjoy playing Pokémon, but only with cheat codes now. To much time to do it legit, and time isn't something I have to spare. Yet, I don't see the point in wasting all this time for one shiny, when your a cheat code away from catching everything shiny... I know you may have caught these "legit", but there's a kid down the street that has all the Pokémon shiny level 100, with 100% I've and the best favourably nature's, and can trade for any Pokémon he wants... Took him like 3 hours a day for a week.... This seems like a massive life sucker for just a few lines of code in a game, hoping that code out of thousands of other lines pop up. Then again, I guess it's your life and you do with it as you please and I'm sure theses kinds of videos gets you lots of veiws over various streaming platforms. So do you mate. Congratulations. (Edit:) I don't mean to sound Critical,downing, or mean.Just kinda blows me away at the amount of time put into something kinda pointless.

[@shinycollector]

I like this, it's critical without being rude. A rarity for KZbin. I know I can just get it faster by cheating, but that's not as fun. I'd rather spend hours talking with friends I've made from this (online and in person) while we all shiny hunt. Or I can stream and get to interact with people, being able to make their day while I'm just goofing off playing games. And it's obviously more exciting when you earn it than if you hack it in or use an easier method. Yeah sometimes I hunt pokemon for their shiny variation, but normally when I shiny hunt something it's simply for the fact that it's rare. It's not even about wanting it in that color. At the end of the day, yeah it's kind of pointless. But isn't any hobby? Sports or stamp collecting or whatever it is, it's all pointless but if you're having fun then you're not wasting time. It's not for everyone of course, but it's fun for me. And this is my part time job while I'm in college. So I get to have fun, play games, not need to get a job that I hate, and make a little cash? Hell yeah, I'll take it!

[@BrownkingownzU]

ShinyCollector98 I see, you made a good point. I appreciate you responding back to my comment,and showing a different way of thinking of it then I did. Hard to see both sides when you narrow your vision, you'll miss thinking outside the box.

[@ten7554]

ShadowReaperW64 Gaming At the end of the day, video games as a whole are 'pointless' by your definition. Just lines of code. What actually matters are each person's personal enjoyment. You play your games your way, and he plays his games his way. Kinda surprising that you're smart enough to make a KZbin comment and yet don't understand what preferences are.

I found a shiny Ponyta yesterday in Leaf Green. It was the first wild Ponyta I saw at only 20hrs of playthrough ;) like a boss.

You spent a lot of time on this shiny. Glad you got it. Congratulations!

[@shinycollector]

A little too much time if you ask me haha thanks!

[@derekmijangos9071]

So happy for you! I can't Shiny hunt in the Safari zone... too stressful. SOS chaining Beldum and failing two in a row was bad enough for me.

[@shinycollector]

Try it though, some have such a low possibility to flee. Some examples are lotad repel trick from HG/SS and good rod fishing from FRLG safari

[@MIKEBAZAZ]

huge congrats dude!!! such an amazing hunt! i got super lucky too about 2 months ago - got the 5% shiny pupitar on mt. silver and it's hardy nature too XD

[@shinycollector]
