433 - LIVE! Shiny Celebi in VC Crystal after 4224 SRs

Joining the Shiny Celebi club! Good luck to the countless people out there also hunting this, especially you first-time soft resetters. Don't give up!!! Never thought I'd see the day Shiny Celebi would be fully legitimately huntable... and also on 2ND GEN at that.

[@polla2236]

I fell in love with that shiny Celebi card. And congrats man :D

[@Bfine94]

Celebratulations on a Celebincredible Shiny!!!!! That sprite is just too perfect for the shiny! Really hits different!

[@brainless0000]

oh wow i probably haven't heard this sakuraburst song in the intro since 2015 thanks for the throwback

[@midnitejoe3686]

Congrats Matt Amazingly Kool Hunt To Do And Love Your Reactions So Genuine

[@12fuzzyrats]

I hunted mine on and off for six months (mostly to prevent burnout and also because of school and work) and once I captured her I named her Ochako. She is now chilling in my Ultra Sun with my shiny Ho-Oh that I caught in Soul Silver.

[@owenwalms]

I got mine today, this video definitely inspired me to start hunting it!

[@starixemuzik8563]

Congratulations you totally deserve that!

[@vulpixillusive7418]

A few days? You are lucky as heck. CELEBIty of Ilex Forest.

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

Volcarona EX a LOT of those few days were spent hunting lol Thanks!

[@GingaNinja]

An OMG so hard it rocks the camera! Glad to see you finally catch one after being unobtainable for so long!

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

GingaNinja it's not always shown, but when I react I usually sling my hands up in the air so that's why that cameraquake happened LOL. Thanks JT!

[@intermediatepokemontrainer]

Congratulations on the shiny celebi! Like many pokemon fans, you deserve it.

[@brucelau2023]

hey Matt, congrats dude on the shiny Celebi bro !! i still can't believe we can actually hunt this after so many years of not doing this legit in the States.. Dratini is on 56 SRs but i hope i can get it soon, can't wait for rumble weekend tho btw, and once again congrats !!!

[@dragontamer67]

That’s awesome dude! I’m gonna be hunting mine soon!

[@AlphaStoutland]

Congrats dude! I'll be hunting this soon myself :)

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

Alpha Stoutland thank you and good luck!

[@regitriotrio5656]

I've been hunting this shiny celebi since pokemon crystal on VC first came out. Today. Today I finally got my shiny Onion Fairy. Almost 5 years in the making to get it but I finally got my celebi. I'm so happy right now that after almost 5 years of hunting I finally got it.

[@Luxluux]

Celebi is the leggend! Kongrats Matt and good luck

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

Shinyhunter Lux It is!! Thanks Lux and good luck to you!

[@CodyYoshida]

Congrats on the pink onion fairy! Looks so good :D

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

DarkyLeUmbreon Thank you!! Yeah I think I like the back sprite even more as a shiny!!

[@shadow10kwr71]

[@ub-06austin40]

I finally got my own Shiny Celebi today. It’s one of only 2 1/8192 hunts I’ve seen through to the end (the other being Litwick in Black 2, also earlier this year)

[@pokeguitaristjake6300]

Congrats on the Shiny Celebi!!!:D It is a wonderful Shiny Pokemon to finally have in our games. I think Shiny Celebi may be obtainable through the Japanese Colosseum Bonus Disk because I also know through the other regional Bonus Disks Jirachi is not Shiny Locked but as soon as your Transfer it to your game before you Receive it in your Party, the IVs, Natures, Shiny/Non Shiny Values are already pre-determined. Good job Catching one of the rarest Shiny Pokemon in the game. Also, that Master Ball was worth, no doubt about it. If you want, you can also clone Master Balls easier in Gold and Silver. Crystal Cloning was attempted to be Patched by GameFreak back in the day, but instead they caused even more issues as it being super easy to get a glitch Pokemon with Missing Files in it's coding. But yeah, even if you don't have a Master Ball anymore, it was really worth, on one of the rarest Shiny Pokemon in the game! One more thing I would like to say or moreso ask: are you going to try to get one more Shiny Celebi in your other Crystal so you can Transfer it to Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, or Ultra Moon? Kind of seems worth it but kind of doesn't since Celebi isn't even in the PokeDex since it's Alolan Dex only and no National Dex ;0 Still, you can Clone your Shiny Celebi in Gold or Silver, friend!^-^

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

Thanks!! It really seems like that bonus disc is locked, but the fact that there is no 100% confirmation I can find still leaves it up in the air! Still trying to figure out my plans for this Celebi, good ideas though!

[@pokeguitaristjake6300]

Thanks dude! Also I just saw the Pokémon Rumble Video!:D Congrats on all of the Shinies. I need to purchase my Pokémon Rumble on Wii before they Shutdown Wii Shop Channel in 2019 ;0

[@LatinGiudo817]

PokéGuitaristJake The cloning glitch wasn't patched in Crystal, it just has a more delayed timing than Gold/Silver. Instead of resetting between "Off" and "The" when it tells you don't turn off the power, reset a second after the "Saving, don't turn off the power." text. I cloned at least 6 Master Balls (one for each Legendary and Celebi), a crap ton of Rare Candies, and my Odd Eggs.

[@SoSickRick]

Just got mine this morning, luckily pretty quick only 640 resets, Congratulations to all that have captured this pink onion

[@timothyloayza6789]

I remember my shiny celebi at 4000 SRs, that was a awesome night

[@ShamanJeeves]

I'm watching as many shiny Celebi videos as I can find, so I can stay motivated as I hunt it. Sitting at 2,996 resets as of this comment.

[@hellookie]

you get it

[@hellookie]

im a year deep hunting

[@jake9107]

update?

[@sokratisisakidis9681]

Congrats on the shiny celebi. I can't wait till I buy my crystal.

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

Sokratis Isakidis Thanks! Crystal is a fun game, hope you get to enjoy it soon!!

[@GlitchedCactus]

Yall beat Pokèmon crystal so quickly! Wish I could do the same lol. I'm 2 badges down! Only 14 more to go congrats btw

[@silentsteel009]

BlueGamer11 in the VC release you only need to beat the E4, you don't need 16 badges like the mobile event in jpn did.

[@GlitchedCactus]

Luke Steele I thought you can’t fight the elite 4 until you have all 16 badges

[@silentsteel009]

BlueGamer11 Nope, you fight them after 8. You might be thinking of hgss where they get a power up after 16 badges.

[@donthaveonern]

It took me 30 hours to beat the game lol finally started the hunt today

[@user-cu7qz4fh2k]

I love your videos! I'm just worried that my current Crystal VC file is unlucky. Maybe I need to start a new file with crazy Celebi-related names like you used for your hunt!!

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

Good luck!!! The idea of a "lucky file" is all superstition, but if you want to still restart, go for it!

[@user-cu7qz4fh2k]

@@AbsolBlogsPokemon : I'm going to restart for another Odd Egg shiny eventually, but maybe I should persist with Celebi while I can. Full odds is brutal!!

[@megafiresword3165]

Wow congrats

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

Thanks!

[@dionysus1394]

Can’t wait to go for this. Congrats! Probably gonna go for suicune first to be edgy. You got this thing pretty fast.

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

CarnageKabuto (Fearsome Shinies) Suicune is super worth it! It's definitely being overshadowed by Celebi right now, and it's on my future hunt list, too! Best of luck; it's a pretty satisfying hunt!

[@dionysus1394]

Heck yeah

[@margalocaris]

Dialga is quaking in its boots.

[@Kanshario]

Did you ever hunted the other Celebi in the Shiny option?

[@HyperPico87]

Does it make a difference if I softreset with the touchscreen or using A+B+Select+Start ??? I'm 1500 SRs in and only used the button combo :/

[@regitriotrio5656]

No it doesn't. Someone once told me that doing the other way of the on screen reset doesn't work but I just got my shiny celebi today after 5 years doing that same thing. Either way works don't listen to people if they say it doesn't work.

[@Lunarleap]

This is what I'm currently hunting for. I want that pink beast soooooo badly...

[@Lunarleap]

Also, I preloaded. Anyone else preload?

[@Lunarleap]

I'mma call mine....... Celery.. lol.. (jk, I'mma probably name mine serebii.)

[@SparkyThePikachu100]

I just hunted this. My game cut off on it at 1223 SR. Reclaimed 438 SR later. Catch 2 back to back magikarp in go the same day. I wasn’t hunting them. I was walking with my girlfriends kids and decided to open for the first time since it came out. Later that night I was grinding levels on my golduck to help my flash/ sleep spam Luigia since I used my master ball on celebi, I ran into a shiny onix. Now I’m 251 SR lugia and feel like I’m in for a long hunt

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

That's insane luck!!!

[@SparkyThePikachu100]

AbsolBlogsPokemon update I just caught lugia at 769 SR! I this is my second full odds shiny I’ve ever hunted. Am I getting these very fast? I now they can get up to the couple thousands

[@Philboi_DK]

I know this is 2 years ago, but how long time did this take?

[@isaacherring5438]

So do you play through both games at once then began the hunt or did you beat one. Then start hunting and play through the second while hunting on the first then through time just start soul hunting? Did this make sense?

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

Isaac Herring The second file is actually an old Crystal file that I transferred up to the VC game using homebrew, but that's a story for another day! All I had to do to trigger the event was to beat the Pokemon League again

[@dahuntre]

Got mine back around 2018! Sadly, I never got around to getting parental restrictions off to download Bank, so now it’s stuck in VC Crystal, and I won’t be able to replay it without deleting the Pink Onion Fairy. But that’s okay. Most important part is that I found it in the first place.

[@ep1633]

You can mode your 3ds very easily and then download anything you want. It's not stuck yet, but you gotta do it before bank shuts down. We don't know when that will be cus they said it will still be active after 3ds online shuts down

[@ettorepelliccio7265]

Why don't you reset by pressing A+B+Start+Select at the same time? It's way faster in my opinion. Btw congrats for your shiny, it looks gorgeous!

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

Emery Z I went for hand comfort over efficiency here since I was using two different types of 3DS. Thanks!

[@lightyagami3492]

I've heard that the GS ball can be obtained on an English cartridge by communicating with a Japanese copy of the game. Can anybody confirm this?

[@rm9786]

Congrats! Still hunting mine

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

RiALTS Thanks! Hope yours appears soon

[@rm9786]

Thanks! Almost at 2000 soft resets. Hoping to get it very soon

[@Leto85]

Congratulations. I hope you've altered Celebi's XP to sonething like Timid before transferring.

Timid is default if you don't change the exp

I am not going to lie but I found my shiny Celebi at 1669 SRs by watching your video. :D

Can you trade mobile on crystal version for the ds version?

[@supermariogaming32]

Congrats we both have one now

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

UnknownUsername very happy we are both members of the Celebi Club

[@phruku]

Fun fact hit AB start select and you can soft reset way easier

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

phanntom I typically resort to that on my GBA SPs, but the old style of 3DS doesn't have a very comfortable button layout to do that with one hand, so I went with the slightly slower touchscreen for comfort

I stoped at like 2,000

[@RhianChambers]

Why the right side?

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

Rhian Chambers lol I wish I knew! That's just how they programmed it. If I had to guess, it's because the Goldenrod Pkmn Center had a different layout in the Japanese version with some sort of mobile connectivity feature

[@RhianChambers]

AbsolBlogsPokemon what does going on the right side do tho? Does it make getting the shiny easier or something? Cus I’m hunting it now but I jus walked in and walked straight back down after taking 2 steps directly up. I hope I havnt messed anything up
