Finding Every Shiny Pokemon in Generation 3

25% done with my Gen 3 Shiny Living Dex! - 95/386.
These all are all my finds as of the 25% mark. I'm well on my way to 50% and excited to keep making progress. My uploads span a period of 10 years with Weedle having been found on 02/01/2014. Crazy.
I hope you enjoy my compilation!

I like how he says "we do not accept hate on shinies" when he gets his Jolteon but then he dogged on shiny Fearow earlier on.

Fearow deserved it tbh

I’ve never heard a calmer response to shiny weedle

[@liomanwhy]

I really respect those who shiny hunt in earlier generations, and especially you, since you always hunt for the more difficult ones. Wishing your luck on your gargantuan task! Let your dex shine

[@VictoriousVulpix]

Happy 10 anniversary! At 42/151 for my 3rd gen kanto living dex after 3 years. I would think you have a decent amount of egg hunts in your future. Edit: Got shiny Celebi in crystal VC while watching!!! Thanks for the shiny luck!🎉🎉🎉

[@BakoTheBum]

Same i started 3 years ago too egg hunting totodile right now

[@VictoriousVulpix]

@@BakoTheBum nice, hope you have better luck than me! I’ve been stuck on my first egg hunt for Farfetch’d since egg month last year, 18k.

[@Claudia-tm9dr]

Good luck! I'm on 22/151 for mine but I only really started last year on the quest haha, thankfully I have loved hunting Kanto shinies for a while :) currently going for the rest of the kanto starters I need for the middle and first evos, Squirtle currently! Congrats on that awesome Celebi :D

[@BroseidonLive]

So amazing that you can look back through all the years and see every reaction to all these Gen III shinies! Really looking forward to part 2 now, great work Steve!

Shiny latinas yes😂

[@blobrex8744]

That was a fun watch! Honestly so cool seeing all the shinies throughout the years, congrats on them all!

[@Bfine94]

About a week later, but as someone who has watched every video you have posted up until this point, I am so glad I could be here on the journey and could revisit some of your most amazing reactions! GGz on an amazing compilation, Steve! Cannot wait for all that has yet to come. Cheers, mate!

[@AleProGamer]

"How cool is that" What an incredible journey, I'm so excited to keep watching what lies ahead hunting along you! Keep the great work up Steve c:

[@JoJ333]

I’m so looking forward to watching this over the next few days. Grats on 25%!

[@TheOGVane]

You the the GOAT and an absolute joy to watch. Cheers, and looking forward to more years to come!

[@EandQproductions21]

Such an awesome goal, consistently one of my favorite shiny hunters on here. Keep up the great work and I hope you achieve your living dex!

[@CountyHD]

It's literally videos like these that still motivate me to shiny hunt, and even better seeing it happen during this journey is awesome to follow up with. Appreciate all the hard work you've done!

[@TheTruth01234]

10 years flew by, started watching you back in 2019. Congrats on everything Steve!

[@RogueT-Rex8468]

Dude. That was only five years ago

[@JoeyDangerouslyHD]

What a wild comment.. Ur bad at math.

[@SpectreAce]

Congrats on the milestone! I was just thinking about how your living dex was going! Keep up the great work!

[@krule274]

This is insane. When you quantify it like that, it's really an incredible level of dedication to the goal. Here's to 100!

[@Strashky]

A 3HOUR LONG SHINY PACKED HUNT VIDEO!! what a blessing to watch while hunting

[@Hank_Wolfman]

You sound so much younger in the Weedle clip! Happy to have been watching your shiny hunting journey for a few years now, here's to your luck continuing :)

[@berb-182]

This is an amazing accomplishment and cheers to another 10 years Steve! 🎉✨

[@Claudia-tm9dr]

thank you so much for uploading! I will be hunting for my own gen 3 shiny living dex while I watch this :) good luck on your goal!

[@partyhatkid9940]

Forever love your videos! Good luck on your epic quest. Rooting for you!

Been watching you since 2017! Ty for all the awesome shiny hunting content over the years, my dude :D

[@rippletail8942]

Absolutely incredible as always, you’re easily my favorite shiny hunter! Here’s to many more years of hunting

[@godscalledwayne]

Insane video! Congrats on all those shines ^^

[@hollyjo444]

Ahhhh so excited to watch this! Will save it for when I’m shiny hunting one evening :) Also I hope you do more yt live streams sometime soon! They were super fun!

So excited it’s at 25%!! Congrats dude

[@MemryHunts]

What an accomplishment! Incredible and living the dream! Congrats man and keep it up 😊

[@nadie_dela_concon]

i remember watching your videos when i was hunting for shiny mewtwo in hg back in 2018 and you bring me luck, now i see this comp and wanted to go back hunting i'll follow on twitch glad to see this content.

[@doddery2040]

very amazing dedication throughout the years! the many hunts youve done really inspired me to hunt my own :D also, while watching this i found a shiny turtwig on platinum after 95 resets :>

[@marcorossi2854]

I never understood shiny hunting but i stumbled upon a lot of your vids in these years, congrats

[@masteraj1024]

Not as much time lately but I always enjoyed popping into the streams and chatting with yourself and others. Hopefully can stop by sometime soon and see a live shiny

[@BIZaGoten]

Big progress so far, I believe you can get the next 75% aswell, never stop man! Didn't realize I had 108/386 myself until now, this kinda makes me wanna start grinding shinies again. 👀

[@tidq]

Gen 3 is my favorite Gen. You got this, Steve! You already got all the roamers. Finish the story.

[@HandsomeLongshanks]

Man, seeing that rhyhorn gave me so much nostalgia. My first ever shiny was a rhyhorn i caught in the safari zone in ruby. I had no idea what was going on but i knew i had to catch it and i did. I recently moved it up to pokemon home

[@MezzoForte4]

I pogged WAY too hard when you showcased the Shiny Suicune in Colosseum and the bubbles came out along with it because of the Dive Ball. 😭👌That was magnificent, I didn't know it had extra effects like that.

[@an-albinocrow33808]

95 all at full odds is bonkers... well done so far and best of luck to you going forward

[@Anthropolite]

1:42:05 I appreciate that you show failures too

[@lazychill3112]

Congrats on all those shiny's...respect the grind...definitely inspired me to do more difficult hunts

[@Cpudynasty]

This had to have taken you 1000s of hours, that’s truly amazing work

[@Pink.Experience]

Yooo congrats! I guess docile on all of these. Nah but seriously congrats on all the catches over the years! Hoping that kanga shines soon!

[@timediamond8227]

Dude youre absolutely insane for this but i love it. Truly an inspiration to other ppl shiny hunting. Just shows how much you love pokemon

[@Cha0S_Hybr1D]

man the gen 3 sprites are so nostalgic and cool ^^ my first ever shinies were in firered

[@Crush_The_Cranium]

Sonniks im not kidding i was searching up finding everyday gen3 shiny yesterday and heres your video! Shat a surprise

[@strizy]

wow what a catalog! this was super enjoyable to watch

[@lev0npc]

Just found your channel, I'm so happy you're not screaming at shinies and love the dedication, gg

[@DamaCollectsCards]

That’s insane man, congratulations 🎉

[@oceankun1105]

Absolute legend in the shiny community, hats off to you good sir on your journey to comnplete the living dex, good luck on the hunts champ and wish me luck on mine, started off my gen 3 dex with torchic so im at 1/386😂

[@KaiyatoPKMN]

time flies mannn 😢 great video 🖤

[@playkawaii2104]

I envy your collection, hopefully some day I'll be able to do some of these hunts, you are a very big inspiration for me :) Happy 10th anniversary! 861🎉

[@CobaltPKMN]

Congratulations once again on all your finds and your dedication ! Legendary content ✨✨

[@michaelmalachite4404]

Poor shiny Swampert, forever known as Marshtomp haha; huge progress Steve 👏

[@Prax97.]

I appreciate the long upload, it gave me something to watch/listen to for my HGSS shiny starter grind 😅 (sadly I didn’t get one while watching it though 🙃)

[@hunterswanson7787]

I finally had time to watch the whole thing, and I just wanna say that I love that you're going on this journey and wish you the best as you continue! I really like how you kept the montage of chansey fails, and also - this video really put into perspective just how much safari zone hunting you've done over the years. I remember when you said "I really don't hunt in gen 3 all that often, but I really like it. I'll probably do it more" and now you're doing a living dex. It's super cool to see!

[@MezzoForte4]

The Safari Hunts reminds me of the time I was on my way to my routine dental check up when I was just hanging out the Safari Zone and found a Shiny Rhyhorn. I ended up catching it but the craziest part was that I actually threw a rock at it first because I remember reading somewhere that throwing a rock will increase the capture rate but it's much more likely to flee. The madlass in me that day was really feeling lucky I guess. 😅

[@brettkeenan8367]

At the end you should do a super cut of every Pokemon in Colosseum in order (if you want, that sounds time consuming)

[@tcorphan17]

Gl on this journey Sonikks 👍 since this'll certainly take a while

[@MewkingCBW]

I was binging youe channel the day before this dropped, thank you so much

[@randomp3rson999]

Definitely gonna watch this while i shinyhunt

[@kaimusic7884]

Wow! I love this series

[@ThomasSH]

GGs on that find bro

[@Dis_dain]

Shiny Wailord in Colosseum was the highlight of the video for me ✨

[@oz3357]

Weedle was the first shiny I found in my copy of leaf green. And the first shiny to be found. I was looking for a squirtle and got bored pretty early into the hunt, like 10-15 resets max…found the weedle 2 encounters into viridian forest. But that led to me hunting for it again, but I swapped to bulbasaur. Got that in like 120 resets. Then found a shiny Eevee 165 resets. So I guess I got compensation for the now beedrill.

[@GOLTEB]

Why is this so addicting to watch? Lol

[@mira55x-planetnalzena15]

you're the 2nd KZbinr I've stumbled upon who likes green shinies! ^^ #GreenGang!

[@kennynakawaki]

10 years Shiny Hunting. That’s crazy man. I’m very happy I found out about you a few years ago. I’ve been watching shiny hunting in general though for like nearly 15 years since Abenzio if any of you remember him with his Shiny Ponyta in FR at Mt. Ember or the random shiny Shinx with his grandma in the car. Congrats Sonikks! ✨

[@LetsWinWithTim]

Such an awesome achievement! You are an inspiration to a fellow shiny hunter ;) Small request: if you do another video like this again, could you also include the number of encounters/resets next to the tally?

[@fusionboi69]

watching the whole thing its a goated video i just subbed and gave a like i like your channel already!!

[@bigbadchupa9511]

You’re frikken dope! I want to do the same kind of thing for HGSS. A lot of time and patience

Hours upon hours in this game catching shinies not knowing what nature Modest does is kinda cute ngl. :)

[@Bartholamue]

Good luck on ya, man! I'm working on a shiny generation 9 living dex. I have 43 left to go if you don't include regional forms or legendaries.

[@georgebushdidcovid1919]

First shiny Pokémon I ever saw was a shiny tentacool while playing emerald. I was like 9 or 10, didn’t have any internet where I was, so after seeing tentacool with green jewels instead of red, I got super spooked and shut off my gameboy. Found a got a shiny tropius like a week later so that made up for it lol.

[@Johndavidson4]

If you Steve or anybody would go out of their way to give dates to each of these clips, that would be pretty cool. Either way tho very cool video.

[@shankmannplaythroughs113]

yo brother, I'm going for shiny growlithe in hg, wish me luck!

[@ShadyRK9]

@@shankmannplaythroughs113 Nice! Growlithe is also on my list. Good luck! Also just in case you don't already know please have a Pokémon with suction cups as the ability. That'll make sure you stay in battle as some Growlithe has Roar which unlike with Gen 5 and onward will actually end the battle instead of forcing you to switch out a Pokémon!
