317 - LIVE! Shiny Treecko on Omega Ruby after 6178 SRs! The Hoenn Journey Begins!

WOW! Did not expect this hunt to go this far, but I am so glad I stuck it out to the end because this Treecko is BEAUTIFUL, and so far Omega Ruby is fantastic! Thankful that Poochyena is shiny locked this time around!
Shoutout to Bunni for the flipnote video! She also guessed Bashful, the correct nature!
Also shoutout to ShinyCollector98; really hope your Treecko happens ASAP.
Bruce, who is still hunting for his Treecko, guessed both Adamant and Jolly

[@shinycollector]

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

[@KilroyStillHere]

The dedication to rent a van just for a reference is peak

[@ddr5551]

Your video gave me some luck, perhaps....I got shiny Treecko while watching this! And congrats to you!

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

Wow congrats to you, too!!! Thanks!

[@godusopp9135]

I started 4 days ago, I'm still searching at over 2100+ soft resets. I know I'm late but congrats.

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

Good luck! I remember that grind all too well. Hope you find it in less resets than I did!

[@godusopp9135]

AbsolBlogsPokemon first of all I just wanted to say I love ur vids. But I have some bad news. I’m over 3900 soft resets for it. I have a feeling that it’s going to take a long time. Keep up the good work 😃

[@theluchakabuto5206]

Any updates on that hunt? Hope it didn’t take to long

[@godusopp9135]

TheLuchaKabuto thanks for your question I did get it about a couple days after the original comment. 4090 soft resets

Lol nice van there Matt. Did you rent that thing?XD Huge congrats on this beautiful little Treecko. I'm somewhat tempted to try to get my fourth

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

Thanks, Esme! That was actually from when my sister was moving earlier this year; just had to seize the opportunity for a Hoenn video then XD. Best of luck if you decide to hunt for it!

[@awiseman93]

Major congrats! I can't wait to transfer mine up from sapphire :) beautiful shine!

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

Thanks! Pretty crazy how we can transfer Pokemon all the way up from the original to the remake now!

[@awiseman93]

I know it's insane! Congrats though it's a beautiful shiny man lol

[@xxxBenTVxxx]

Beautiful shiny! I got my shiny Mudkip on X a month or two ago because I couldn't wait for Hoenn to come out. I'm so impatient.

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

Thanks!! Smart decision still, though! I almost lost my patience in the middle of this hunt XD

[@JamFusion.]

Holy crap, I was watching your video and then I look down and I have a shiny Treecko

OMG! that hunt was so omg! hope mine doesnt get too far major congrats

[@YourBrotherWombat]

Congrats Man! I wanted to do this but the Hype over took me and I gave up after like 164 SRs....

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

Thanks!!! Totally understandable. My hype levels were off the charts.

[@StaraviaXIII]

I remember when oras came out, I got it and the first thing I did was soft reset for a shiny torchic, I managed to luckily get it in under 1000 resets(can't remember the exact number), and now I'm doing it for treecko and I'm way beyond 4000

[@WayGreenerProd]

Gonna start my save file over and hunt a shiny treecko! :) edit: Does soft resetting affect your game/ds in any way?

[@fionncarlin2696]

Ya, I can tell the relief was a lot more than he showed. I have been at this for 35 hours and I have lost count at how many srs. it is a struggle.

[@Swellow45]

I've done well over 3000 encounters for torchic at this point for my shiny only on Alpha Sapphire

[@winged_cat_4571]

Did you get it?

[@shinyhunting17]

Dude, way to long of a hunt, congrats on finally finishing it though, dedication!

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

Thanks! The length was crazy! lmao

[@andresmunoz5430]

I’m about to start and this makes me somewhat possitive that if my hunt takes forever don’t give up

[@Meyhem33]

you should have named it "Sick-Amour". "Sick" cause it's awesome and "Amour" cause you love the thing...and I'm pretty sure that means "love" in french...but I'm sure I mispelled it.

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

mind. blown.

[@isthislongenougl3988]

6178!? jesus! you deserve a subscription...if it makes you feel better I got mines at 800! xD

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

Thank you!!!!!! Glad you didn't suffer through the same number of SRs haha

[@MrShinx3]

I can't wait to get my treecko! Still annoyed UK haven't got the game yet :-(

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

Now you can go get it! :D Best of luck, Matt!

[@isthislongenougl3988]

Also, how many days did this take? 6000 is just crazy!

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

a whopping 5 days! I went all out and almost lost my sanity XD

[@isthislongenougl3988]

I commend you sir! Im at 1180 with my ho oh...luckly i got treecko at 800 but you are a hell of an inspiration for my ho-oh. I commend you sir to the highest! I subscribed and liked! Keep up the good work lol
