467 - LIVE! Shiny Cacnea in Ruby after 2388 REs!!

(found 2/4/19) the first of 3 shinies I found in February that I never got around to uploading!! This one is one of my absolute dream Gen 3 shinies, so I was so happy to find one!

[@DexterityYTC]

This man has been posting Pokémon videos for almost a decade. Just doing what he loves. Man I hope I can live my life like that one day. You’re amazing man keep doing you.

[@mistahjenkins4826]

I've always wanted to do this as well. The less over-the-top stuff, and more "Oh heck yeah!" reactions.

[@ddescham]

Congrats!!!! Such a great shiny! Also, even tho capture card are a thing, I will never get tired of this kind of video when you just point a camera at your consoles, I absolutely love it! It definitely has its charm!

[@rkiwi9485]

It's very inspirational to us hunters who don't have access to capture cards.

[@Shyverin]

The multi gameboy setup is very nostalgic.

[@ReachSkyla]

Literally just found you and your videos remind me of classic KZbin. People just recording themselves doing what they love for fun. Thanks for continuing to do what you love!

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

Thanks so much!!! Means so much to hear that

[@Okwardi]

Wow, you’re shiny hunting cacnea! That’s actually my second favorite Pokémon of all time! (Including cacturne). P.S my favorite is Kangaskhan.

[@Lewis95xp]

Just found your channel on Tuesday. I can't stop watching! Your videos are making the work do so much more bearable and I am very grateful. Keep up the great work!

[@soto9128]

Not only Cacnea and Cacturne are cool looking mons, but their shinys are too! I love those autumn colours. Congrats Absol! :D Yesterday I found a random shiny Bulbasaur on GO, I am super happy since I didn't had one!

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

nice!! that's the one Kanto starter shiny I'm missing

[@brucelau2023]

Absolblogspokemon wow Matt that’s a mad dope shiny doe , congrats on the shiny Cacnea man , can’t wait to see more shiny videos from you soon my guy !!!

[@DevilishlyDutch]

Another video already, I was shook, and way pleased! What a beauty, that random shiny color really worked out well for the Cacnea line

[@silentsteel009]

Heck of a shiny! You're really spoiling us with content lately I love it :D

[@quinnybagz]

Wow awesome catch my dood! Congrats on that!!

[@HazardDiamond]

That's it, have my subscription. I've watched shiny hunters stream and videos, but never got into it. But by watching your Gauntlets and then some shiny vids, I'm now hunting for shinies in HG just to dedicate them to my friends. Also, because I hatched a shiny Gligar whilst talking to my friend about Pokémon and the shinies he has encountered.

[@MaskuIine]

Congratulations Matt!!! Nacny is gonna be so powerful.

[@Divinityhacks]

Thank you! These videos are the best.

[@Meyhem33]

Congrats Matt. I know Cacnea was your target but lets be honest, you would have been 100x happier if that shiny Trapinch would have appeared. Then you could get a shiny Flygon tattoo to match mine.

[@orca7203]

I wasn’t disappointed when I went to your channel to see that Shiny Flygon tattoo.

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

funny that you say that! Just wait for what I'm uploading later this week! Your tattoo is so cool, man

[@shinymoltres73]

Congrats! This Shiny is so simple yet very very nice!

[@MrBoellemissen]

Wow congratulations man! You're so lucky!

[@tobikreker7920]

Do a level 100 gauntlet using only the pokewalker!

[@Fresshnapf]

Congrats! Shinys in Gen 3 Games are so much more satisfying looking than in the later Gens. Today I also got my first Shiny aand it was a Ralts :D

[@BIZaGoten]

Shiny ralts?? Thats insane did you just do random encounters over n over?

[@nathannemyman3522]

Amazing find! There are all these pokemon that you dont think to hunt, but once you see a good looking one you slowly form a small army of consoles to find it. I think that'l be my next target after Rayquaza!

[@TheSupremeRk9s]

Dude come on it’s been half a week.... when’s the next Gauntlet???? 👿

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

sorry for the half week delay 😓 releasing 5 in one day tomorrow to make up for it

[@swami6484]

I always look forward to the XD showcase with these 3rd gen hunts. Man, if I wasn't stuck on this sbq, I'd be all over them

[@TarigonTetradactyl]

golden/orange shinies are my favorite kinds! very envious of you

[@julian5535]

Gz man, I've always thought about hunting but I just don't have that patience

[@DuckHunterShiny]

Hey Matt! Love your content as always, I was wondering what camera do you use? Also cacnea is great, Congrats!

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

Thanks! I use a sony handycam

[@brettthedevious7571]

You should do a gauntlet where you only fight pokemon from rock smash encounters, or even worse you could do one where you only fight encounters from honey trees (sinnoh). I think it could be quite fun!

[@noonenothing422]

I would honestly love to see some Level 255 gauntlets.

[@deets0079]

Matt, please keep the videos coming! I really enjoy chilling out playing pokemon UM and watching your videos at the same time. You should do a nuzlocke let's play of the alola region!

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

I will do a nuzlocke someday! never done one before believe it or not

Holy crap, I just found a shiny gloom while watching this! Thanks for the luck absol XD

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

grats!!!

[@OutlawGoldGames]

Congrats! I have a question... did you refurbish all the batteries in those 3rd gen games or are they run dry? 3rd gen is my favorite but my OCD keeps me from playing them with the batteries dry and can’t do EVERYTHING in the game.. I’m also kind of afraid to open the games up even though I bought all the stuff to refurbish them

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

I replaced the battery in a couple of them and need to replace a few more! It's kind of scary at first but it's not bad

[@NightHawk4Hire]

Great shiny, but seeing KFC thrown out to battle brought back some good mems from that old hunt!! Side note, I’m back on the hunt for HG/SS starters on vaca again.

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

Nice dude!! Grats on the Chikorita!!

[@craymonkeygaming7594]

Not sure if this has been answered before but how do you find the time for this. Are you able to do KZbin full time cuz that would be amazing and also is that your own house?

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

less about having time for it and more about chipping away at it every now and then whenever I find time! I currently am a programmer full time and mostly find time to work on Pokemon stuff after work a couple days out of the week and some weekends! That's my own apartment there

[@bradanorourke]

Friend Safari is a good place to start if you've never hunted before, odds are 1/512 there. If you wanna try full-odds, the HG/SS starters are the easiest and quickest hunt you could pick :)
