657 - I gave out 999 Shiny Gimmighoul

[@Kwikpanik]

I'm proud to announce that the Gimmighoul that you bestowed unto my Scarlet cartridge has obtained a Master Rank ribbon from the online VGC ladder, and has also participated in a Pokemon North American International Championship tournament.

WOW What a life already

[@Dunkacciino]

I never thought naming my save file Saul Goodman would matter but now I'm so glad I did it

[@unripetheberrby6283]

I hope Saul Goodman's doing alright-

This hunt was never about the Morbi-you or the Morbi-me, it was about the Morbi-us.

It’s morbin time

I loved the part where Absol said "It's gimmighouling time ,and then gimmied all over"

[@Axqu7227]

I missed the event buuuut as a primarily RNG manip hunter, *thank you* for the very sweet analogy for our side of the shiny hunting hobby. So many people accuse us of hacking but you’re right, it’s a very precise roadmap full of frame perfect button presses and seed finding! Gotta love those Chatot flips!! “UHHHHHH”

[@BroseidonLive]

You truly are the people’s champion, Matt! Thanks so much for sticking it to the man and helping so many people get the shiny before the event ended! Good luck getting your own!!!

[@EverythingTheorist]

The McDonald's analogy for shiny hunting was some A+ gamer education.

[@DazzlingAction]

The fact your chat honored the scouts honor is kinda special.

[@bryce5904]

On behalf of "MattGaveGoul," my shiny Gimmighoul, THANK YOU FOR HOSTING THIS FOR US!!!

[@jacksonscourick]

The suspense was building throughout the McDonald's analogy to see if you would do the grimace thing...

[@coldsteel94]

I stayed up until 4am to get one from you. Just want to say thank you for being so cool and such a nice guy.

[@mellysandshrew]

I ended up hunting down someone who was doing something similar to you to get mine, grabbing an extra one to surprise trade off some day. You and everyone who gave others a shot at actually getting one of these little guys are real treasures in this community, thanks so much for running a den for everyone!

[@sojuiceeexists]

I loved these live streams, the community being honorable and not double dipping and letting platipus get in was really sweet. I love this community a lot :)

[@treytl]

This was so amazing of you to do with an event like this, my shiny collection thanks you Absol! I was one of the first 50 or so to join the queue on the first day and ended up naming mine Absolghoul!

[@mitchu50]

Thanks so much for doing this Matt! I've been a longtime watcher and this event made me migrate over to watching your streams! Can't wait to catch more.

[@driftingquill]

My ghoul has been adventuring plenty. I take it out to see the wonders of other pokemon, such as its neighbors in the pc.

[@gabbyishere04]

Thanks for doing this for the community Matt! Congrats to all who got a Gimmighoul. I unfortunately didn’t get one (I was so close in the queue too so it was a bummer) but that’s alright :) Edit: 14:45 Woah! I'm in the video! :D

[@pokedexholderorange8868]

Matt truly serves the Pokémon community in many ways, wish I knew this was happening back during the event

[@eiya2003]

Me too. I hope it comes back at some point

[@kreema]

I was fortunate enough to grab a ghoul from your raid! It truly felt like a moment of coming together for this group pokemon fans. Also I love the thumbnails for this video and your over hour long dudunsparce video, your illustrations perfectly convey so much emotion!

[@MintyOwlett]

I was able to get one for my friend from you, even after making a silly mistake and not saving and lost both of the ones for both my friend and me. You were literally so, so kind and let me reclaim my friend's, and I have my Scarlet set up to do it naturally. I'm currently babysitting Silverado for them while they save up to get a new charger for their switch. I'll let you know about his adventure's when they get him!!

[@TheOfficialBigCat]

Happy to help out! So far Plinko! is just chilling in the Ghoulzone; A box filled with Gimmighouls in every legal Pokeball and Apriball in Scarlet & Violet. Gotta get those coins and train him to be the best now!

[@lindseylindsey9200]

What ball is Plinko! in

[@PretzelPython]

Dude is a legend, I remember my sister doing something similar with the raids is SwSh when she would time travel to the raid date and let me catch the shinies with her.

[@hhhazel]

another banger. loved the canes representation.

[@slavitt4871]

It was worth waiting 7 hours in a queue for this. I slept through my alarm the next morning but I didn’t care. Thank you!

[@miravariable]

thank you so much for hosting, matt, i got into one of the last on-stream raids! my ghoul is named scrimmy and he's caught in a masterball 🥳

[@mini-_]

I really dont keep up with Pokemon anymore, but your videos are still awesome! While for others the mechanics you explain may be obvious, to me it's great that you share it so I get caught up to speed!

[@petergotbored9306]

Being in that first stream was a ton of fun and I'm so thankful for this! Definitely more fun than how I got my other ghoul (someone in a big discord sent a code). I evolved the one from your stream and named it Absol and now it has a full raid moveset!

[@sanepen385]

Did not have a zero escape reference in a pokemon video on my bingo card for today. So unbelievably based from yourself

[@Tarro57]

So nice of you to go SO long giving that many people shinies. Chad moment. Also your Cane's order is the only correct Cane's order, you are a man of culture.

[@Tyketro]

I didn't have the time at all to even try hunting the Gimmighoul. Your stream was a huge save for me and I'm massively grateful! These streams of generosity really made the event so much more enjoyable.

[@gavinschulte7522]

Matt’s videos always make me happy, just love his content and always feel nostalgic watching it.

[@ShiroFlugel]

Thanks so much for doing this! I managed to get one in one of the offline chat raid sessions, and I for sure wouldn't of got one if you hadn't done this!

[@jonasgiesbrecht]

Matt drank the forbidden grimace shake just for the video, truly dedicated to the craft. Thanks for all you do in the Pokemon community!

[@Twinklethefox9022]

That drink ruined my stomach, no joke.

[@HealterSkelterGirl]

Honestly, shiny hunting for the Gimmighoul made me appreciate the raids in SwSh more.

[@Leonardo15115]

Thank you very much, Absol! I was able to get my Ghimmighoul from you (My OT is Pandivis). I really appreciate the hard work you put on this to giveaway so many Ghouls to the community. And congrats for the video, I loved MC Donalds analogy

[@MykonosFan]

Thank you for the Ghouls, Matt. Mine have been helping me shiny hunt the Future Paradoxes in Violet. We've gotten Bundle, Valiant, and Tusk so far.

[@bunnykisses]

I missed this event due to school, however, I love the video and kindness you express. You are a gem in the Pokémon community. Much love from #1 Maractus fan

[@KmpMusicProd]

I've watched your videos for many many years and I've loved all of them. And I just wanna thank you from the bottom of my heart, for making so many videos in the past and present. After being hospitalized for 2 weeks due to lung problems. Your videos have helped make that experience much more pleasant, just like your videos made me feel better when I was younger and felt at my worst part in my life. Once again I thank you from the bottom of my heart and I hope you make more videos for many years to come

[@FluffyCube_Productions]

Missed the streams for this but i ended up finding a different stream that was replaying a shiny raid they found. Got my gimmighoul but Im glad everyone who attended your stream managed to get one! Youre a real one

[@expo_pkmn]

My Ghoul has all the ribbons in Paldea! (except the master rank ribbon I'm not good) Thank you for doing this, it was a really fun introduction to your streams!

[@collectorsalmanac]

6:00 - "Wait, thats illegal!"

[@monomiusami7032]

i grabbed one during a wild west batch! thank you again matt, youre the best for doing this for us!!!

[@WarriorX16]

So glad you did this. Didn’t care to get one myself, but I love how it brought the community together. Also that’s the perfect Canes order!

[@suchalem6686]

I got a Ghoul on day 2 after staying up all night for the first stream. Their name is Dungeon, and I caught them in a Level ball to be a rebel. Dungeon is currently still sitting at 1HP from being caught, but is soon to claim the gourmand mark.

[@pupcreature]

these streams were truly An Experience. we’ll never forget the oons’ service o7

[@martritz]

Thanks for the Ghoul! I will cherish it forever!

[@indigoforiver]

Thank you so much for sharing the shiny gimmighoul! I was in one of the last raids you did on the first night of streams. My ghoul, Ghouligan, is EV trained and waiting to lead my DLC team :D

[@Boomya137]

Thank you very much for the ghoul. I was able to get on during the queue and at around 10:10 in the video. Also my ghoul is being very goulish at the moment and I am unsure if I even want to evolve the little guy

[@AdamSe7en]

I was gone most of that weekend but managed to get a wild west code in your chat on the last night and got my shiny ghoul. Thanks again!

[@LeafsLegend]

A man of the people! Wish I got to partake in these raids and get one of my own but unfortunately was busy and couldn't catch one of the streams! However, this video was highly entertaining and interesting to see how you managed a *mostly* legit way to get around the poor odds of finding a shiny Tera Raid 👍 Also, the Grimace shake had my dead when it cut to you on the floor lmao

[@thisismyaltaccount4195]

It's a shame I had to miss this one! Its super rad you were able to do this! Cant wait for the next event like this!

[@rubenzzituh]

this video was actually so helpful xD i always struggled to notice if it was shiny or not so the comparison with the coin lock on top was key

[@Vyrodask]

Thank you again Matt! Really an awesome thing to do for the community, especially when this even was so poorly executed in game. I hope you had a nice rest and some ibuprofen after that.

[@plasma8651]

Watched this while eating taco bell with my baja blast thank you so much Mr. BlogsPokemon

[@qisadreamer5833]

seriously dude thank you so much for this!! im sorry i missed my spot in the queue and i had to be put in a raid above someone else, i completely missed that you were streaming ; - ; ... but hey, i wish you luck on your gimmighoul hunt ! you really deserve it after doing this

Hey, this is Alexandria/Coolio! I used to tune in to your streams regularly but I took a self-imposed 6 month hiatus from Pokemon. That's over now, and just in time for this amazing video. Your dedication and generosity to the community is amazing to see, and I look forward to once again hanging out in your streams!

[@MarchMarauder]

Really amazing of you to do this, wish i was there to get one but I'll wait for some other method of hunting one someday hopefully. Also like that you explain rng manip and other methods that aren't considered fair by most shiny hunters and pointed out that it's different from hacking

Im writting the most important exam of my life in 8 hours - so this comes at the perfect time to take my mind off of it :)) thank you!!!

[@ShadowChaosKrystal]

I was busier than I thought I'd be during the event, so I kind of missed my shot. Little bummed, but it's cool that some people got it. Edit: I would just like to add that I think fomo is kind of what bummed me out about this event. I think since I didn't have a lot of time to play I also didn't have time to join the raids people were hosting. Events like this are pretty cool but I get pretty bummed when I miss them. It's the main reason I don't play stuff like pokemon go

[@Twinklethefox9022]

Even though I got it, I went through so many stressful stuff. It seemed like I got fewer and fewer 5 star dens as the event got closer to end. Plus, I could hardly join any random online ones. It keep loading to tell me that I couldn't go.

[@ellasorellabrella]

fomo is probably my least favourite thing about the modern games industry. tho mind you, i suppose pokemon events have been pretty fomo since the first ever mystery gifts.

@@ellasorellabrella At least mystery gift exclusives are guaranteed when you participate, while this was both timed *and* exceedingly rare/hard to find.

@@ellasorellabrella what does fomo mean?

[@Twinklethefox9022]

@@strawdeath263 I just have a feeling they made it this hard because they noticed how so many people complain that shines are too easy now and lost their value. So they removed the sparkle effects and made this event brutal.
