im honestly more impressed by the fact u are able to play all the gameboys with the volume on at once without pulling ur hair out

[@opus2998]

dont worry, you lose your hearing after a while so it makes it more bearable

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

that's thanks to the power of headphones plugged into my computer LOL

[@SummonerArthur]

@@AbsolBlogsPokemon so why keep theyr volume up if you're listening to your computer throug your headphones anyway?

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

@@SummonerArthur I wanna get the sparkle sound in the recording sometimes

[@bustacs2]

Nice shiny my man congrats. NOW LEVEL IT UP TO 100 OFF ONLY WILD SHINY TRAPINCH

[@markaxolotl9721]

Plays 4 games at the same time to hunt a shiny. What a legend

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

There are people out there who I have seen go up to 12 games at once. I'm nowhere near their power level yet :P

[@aa-lc6hs]

This may be a silly question, considering the immediate answer can be observed in the video, but how did you learn to juggle multiple systems like in this video? Is it muscle memory over a few days/weeks or is it far simpler than it looks?

[@julian5535]

He only using 1/3 of his power

[@aurum3747]

@@aa-lc6hs He may not respond so I'll speak from experience, it is actually easier than it looks, although it does need a LITTLE bit of practice

[@samson4712]

I got super lucky while hatching eggs for a shiny Trapinch and managed to get it on the very first egg. Flygon is definitely in the top 5 best shinies , hands down. Congrats on your catch.

[@skorpsaiyan2361]

Damn...shiny hunters are hardcore like man..I thought speedrunners were hardcore enough, but this is a new level.

[@TomtheShoppingbag]

so true

[@Korm]

Congrats Matt! Every single video you upload seems like it goes up in quality, love the work man keep it up!

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

Thanks so much, man!

[@style_points]

Appreciate the dedication to shiny hunting

[@soppysock]

Woah! Jolly nature on it as well! So lucky!

[@jacobedwards207]

Great job man, trapinch is a great shiny! I’ve been on the hunt for anything in soul silver for about a year now, around 160 hours in and I’ve been losing motivation recently, so I’ve been watching your videos to help

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

best of luck!! Hope you get it soon. I've been there before with crazy droughts

[@theotherguy4248]

I really love these shiny videos because you always start the footage a bit before the shiny so we have the suspense of knowing it's gonna happen but not knowing when.

[@aidancannon521]

Wow he's even into competitive smash I bet that falcon was fatality

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

That was Fatality!! I'm obsessed with Smash! I play a lot in my local scene but don't often get a chance to travel

[@aidancannon521]

@@AbsolBlogsPokemon same but I don't really even get to play at a local level I went to one tourney and I've been improving a lot with my fundamentals recently so I'm even more into it

[@aidancannon521]

I love fatality and I mailed falcon in 4 he is just not as good sadly so I only play him as a secondary

[@BlueBisharp28]

Congrats! Thats my favourite shiny, and it looks cool being the same colour as the system :O

[@pokeguitaristjake6300]

Congrats on the Shiny Trapinch and Epic Dive Ball Catch!!!^o^ I like Catching Trapinch in Net Balls because how it's based off a bug plus it looks so good with Flygon and Shiny Flygon. Jolly is actually the best Nature for Flygon! Really great luck and hard work for the REs so worth it!:D

[@linxordfeaturelength6725]

That Trapinch matches the GBA SP color perfectly! Awesome catch in an awesome Ball

[@ccvisions227]

Well done on the shiny trapinch, it’s gonna be an awesome flygon

[@JH_x3]

God damn congrats. Trapinch in the desert. What a shiny to find! Thanks for the tips also!

[@xgen1222]

I love watching you play these games!!! You're such a big inspiration for me bro.. I'm a huge fan!!! 😎💕

[@sydknutz]

i'm a little late to this party but congratulations! trapinch was my first shiny ever. best of luck on your future hunts !

[@BottleRocket11]

Congrats, Matt! It looks absolutely stunning in third gen! (also it was my nature guess of choice hella). Thanks for the ace trainer tips on hunting in the desert, too. I can't wait to finally get there in my BQ(whenever the heck granite cave will let me leave rip)

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

Hope Granite cave frees you from its clutches soon! desert route is SICK. Would recommend

[@Bfine94]

The XS Flygon was wild to see! It really is so similar to the regular version!

[@omreapzz]

congrats for 40K subscribers 👍🏻

[@free2rhymesoshutup]

Hey you caught this on my birthday! Also wanted to say I recognized your college apartment from a few years back as well as the GameStop you bought Pokemon X from in the movie video! (I’m from Shreveport btw)

[@dragontamer67]

Congrats! Trapinch is a great shiny

[@mistahjenkins4826]

A nice shiny, and some excellent advice, Matt! I never considered the Baltoy having Selfdestruct, so what you say will come in handy!

[@MaskuIine]

Congrats Matt!!! Flygon's so beautiful

[@Will88889]

Damn this man is playing with 4 game boys lol talk about commitment

[@taylorpearson1150]

Your uploads are always a welcomed surprise

[@TheSupremeRk9s]

my nature guess is gonna be jolly for this one!\ edit: omg i got it 🤠

[@thebigsnorlax3222]

maybe CUZ ITS IN DA VID

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

omg you're psychic type!?!?

[@SawyerB27]

Nunie!

[@ignisterailand]

wow congrats! cant wait to see what else you got. hm i think shiny vibrava looks soo good idk its just a really interesting middle evo. almost feels nothing like either the start or finish.

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

I almost feel like going back and hunting another Trapinch to keep it as a Vibrava! definitely one of the best middle evo shinies

[@Username-jx2ij]

I love the editing at the start it makes it look like some really cool montage

[@timvanderlee4110]

SHINY TRAPINCH, OH MY GOSH !!! Awesome man! I've caught some trapinches recently for my own collection, but that shiny one really stands out. Edit: That Flygon!!

[@brucelau2023]

nice shiny my guy congrats !!! very impressive Matt

[@Cabbage61]

Congrats !!

[@bigby1602]

wow that amount of encounters is insane. i definitely wouldn't have had the patience to go through that

[@aldwinrodriguez]

One of my favorite shinies plus you caught it on my Birthday!!

[@grithbrot9378]

I'm glad for you! This is one I'd like to hunt sometime.

[@FlyingFlygon13]

[@Meyhem33]

HELL YES, "Shiny Trapinch".....never ever since the dawn of time have 2 prettier words been uttered. Countless congrats, now get that baby evolved. Shiny Flygon is Pokemons greatest invention.

[@samueljohn2606]

my first shiny was looking for a regular vibrava.i see it different than what Serebii said it should be normally so I'm like whaaat? and then it hit me. lol

[@ArticTiger]

Well done! love seeing these multi console hunts :P

[@flyingmudkip3970]

Nice. I am gonna start hunting in sapphire after I finish my emerald game. In emerald, I’m rng abusing a full shiny team. It’s been pretty fun

[@SummonerArthur]

Nice shiny bro.

[@mrstardian]

Shiny Trapinch is really cool, congrats!

[@chrisnelson93]

Nice, I like how shiny Trapinch looks

[@onthehunt2297]

Congrats keep the good work up

[@jordynstief3225]

I've actually found a few of them in my Pokemon Scarlet in the Savannah Biome. I think I've found 4 or 5 of them.

[@poryqons]

seeing all 4 of the pokemon you can encounter there at 1:14 is satisfying for some reason

[@NoahFrogg]

I love your videos❤️🗿

[@reavershank8985]

I got mine in sun trough sos. It took pretty long but not near 13040 encounters of course

[@superiorflygon7171]

*speechless**mouth open wide* WHAT?! I WANT THAT SO BAD

[@zircon7634]

I love how the trapinch matches the gameboy it was caught on.

[@llamason7044]

Congrats man

[@sainttaryn]

Good job! I’ve yet to obtain a shiny in any Pokémon game besides Pokémon Go 😂

[@dionysus1394]

Dang that Trapinch does have some big chompers

[@ThrE3-GeS]

Jolly is perfect. Higher speed stat and lower spa. But he is a physical attacker anyway. Adamant is good as well, not so fast but more atk.

[@BoopetteSH]

Congrats ^^

[@Sleipnir17]

Cool shot, shiny Trapinch is fantastic! I assume tge dive ball is for shiny Flygon, right?

[@dantehellemans540]

Your poochyena's name means snake in dutch that's just awesome

[@yeezusfan8372]

Congrats I don’t have the patience to just sit and move the Dpad I’m more of a random shinys during regular gameplay kind of guy

[@hitbycars]

I'm hunting the pinchman in Shield right now and it's taking longer than any other hunt I've done in awhile.

[@Nino-qy6vx]

Congrats on your shiny trapinch, what name would you give a shiny rowlet?

[@D3rpster]

*original idea* Robin Hoot

[@flowersinawasteland]

my most sought after shiny. Flygon’s shiny is too cool

[@suphy4394]

flygon is my favourite shiny of all. i love this combination of this bright and strong blue mixed with the green and the orange highlights. would prefer it if the orange is red to light red. but still the best shiny

[@kshaze484]

nice job

[@LilacFalls]

I too guess nice. Nice shiny nice nature.

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

nice

[@Fuizai_]

Can you train pokemon to level 100 using only the pokepelago?

[@austinjenkins4822]

Enjoy your channel!

[@jacobschmidt3795]

I gotta ask, How do you manage to stick to it for so long? I've Hatched probably around 1,000 Eggs (Not exact but I haven't kept track} and I'm close to giving up cause its just feeling tedious at this point, I'm impressed by your perseverance I just don't know I've been gradually chipping away at this for a few months now. I normally watch KZbin while I try to hatch them though

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

It's a patience I gained over time! I could barely do a few hundred encounters before getting bored a while back, but now I can easily chug through a couple thousand if I have a good distraction like a Smash tournament to watch! Hatching eggs can sometimes be a little more tedious than doing encounters because of how slowly each one hatches. Keep it up and best of luck!

[@jacobschmidt3795]

@@AbsolBlogsPokemon Hey Thanks man, originally I was using the Masuda Method but I decided I wanted it to have decent stats so I abandoned the low stat Italian one I have.. lol at least now pretty much every one I hatch has really good stats. Its so weird how this works honestly you can hatch thousands of eggs and get nothing, and then sometimes you get lucky and get one almost immediately, like about a year ago I decided to breed Rowlets and then literally the first Egg I hatched was shiny And yeah Watching videos is the best way to deal with Shiny Hunting for sure

[@fantasma_11]

You are probably the only one person on this planet who gets original shiny pokemons from old games

[@zicomercado]

Can I talk to this guy? I m so glad if he replied to my comment.

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

sure!

[@lillobster9355]

Got a 1% shiny castform in ultra sun with sos method yesterday and after that i got a super early shiny trapinch.

[@julian5535]

Congrats man! Also have you heard of the mmorpg pokemon planet? I think you'd like it

[@Awtsuu]

One of my fav gen3 pokes

[@idonuzlockespokemonmeister7135]

Yeah some of the shinies in Colleseum and XD are much different than the handheld games.

This shiny is so beutiful,I have one of these in my Alpha Sapphire save file,it's so cool.

[@vortex5361]

Dude I love ur channel

[@bajablastbong2939]

When my uncle and his cousin were playing Pokemon and he caught the weird ass tranpish and thought it was cool and my uncle took it because he moved away and I got to see it for myself on firered 10 years ago!

[@IntercactusYKW]

Cool shiny, I’m hunting nihilego in ultra moon, but I want to hunt this in sword and shield if I don’t get around to it in ultra.

[@Flizz0]

Do you keep those shinies in the same games they’re caught in or transfer them up?

[@iwx4021]

this is epic, love the 4 gameboys

hey man long time no see, the flygon will be sick

Hey Absol, would you ever think of doing the Prof. Oak challenge?

[@brmbltbr4]

Just got a Shiny Swallow in Ultra Space with adamant nature (because abra) and 31 ivs in hp, atk and speed! :D

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

That's awesome! I love how they made it easier to catch viable shinies

[@brmbltbr4]

@@AbsolBlogsPokemon Yeah! I never used it before except for pve, so I was super surprised when it oneshot multiple of my friends pokemon when we fought! (Using adrenaline + heat orb and facade)

You should do a Pokémon lvl 100 gauntlet while only allowing the other Pokémon to hurt itself with confusion. Also if you do this good luck lol

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

like the hunting itself or the editing? I stream hunting once in a blue moon under the name absoltastic on twitch

[@monk975]

Do you ever transfer shiny Pokémon after you catch them?

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

I usually like to keep them within the generation that I caught them. Gives me more motivation to re-hunt things in other gens LOL
