[5000 Sub Special & GIVEAWAY] Getting to Mirage Island and Finding a Shiny Wynaut!! (+Pokerus)

[@PokeLob]

I would love to see you hunt one of the johto starters in Pokémon Emerald!!! Hopefully I get selected I’ve been trying to get a capture card for so long to record my own hunts!

[@Gen3Hunter]

Hey you won!!!! Can you message me on Twitter to go over the details?

[@PokeLob]

@@Gen3Hunter is this the scam that’s been going around or is this for real

[@officerjazzi]

@@PokeLob it’s legit - he posted on his channel that you won. Congratulations dude! ☺️

[@ITSONSIGHT.]

@@PokeLob did you get it??

[@PokeLob]

Yes I ended up getting the capture card a month or so back thank you so much again

[@Gen3Hunter]

Thank you all so much for your comments!! This will be fun to sort through😅 One more rule: please not a hunt that I have already done ✨

[@Typhlosion37.]

u should hunt for wynaut on mirage island

[@00599]

Mike you got a Tentacool from Route 131 in your collection? You might wanna get one… I know a damn good Sweet Scent spot to go for it.

[@christhomas817]

Shiny absol!!

[@greasydiarrhea]

🎉🎉🎉 You should hunt feebass because shiny milotic is so cool.🐀

[@SpeedTwister96]

Thats one hell of a special. Congrats on the finds and the 5k subs! Well deserved!

[@bigidiotbobo4323]

5k is so so sick , I'm so happy for you. Videos like this in the community are so cool to watch and so inspiring to me personally. I think bonus disc jirachi is one of the dopest hunts out there, would love to see your reaction to it. Keep up the amazing work!

[@boks93]

Big congrats on 5k subs and also obvisouly on that shiny Wynaut! Mirage Island was always such a wonder to me as a kid. Very cool to see it actually be a thing and not just some schoolyard rumour XD Also, I suggest you hunt one of my favourite mons since my early Pokémon days and that is Octillery! Either hunt a Remoraid and evolve it, or maybe you can hunt it in the battle pyramid? Anyways, good luck on all your hunts and perfectly well deserved 5k subs. On the road to 10k now :D Edit: Oh, and there is also the 59% Remoraid and 1% Octillery in Emeralds Safari Zone, so that could be a cool hunt to see!

[@idontcheckmynotifications]

Battle pyramid hunts are so cool!

[@DaMario101Sonic]

Super happy for you reaching this milestone, this hunt really just captures the essence of gen 3. I'd love to see a hunt for deoxys on birth island using the pomeg glitch to warp there. I think it's a unique for not only a mythical but a neat way to showcase warping with the pomeg glitch

[@erich_ika]

I've spent a few minutes searching for cool gen 3 runs and I think my choice is Emerald's Sudowoodo Exposive Shiny Hunt! Looks really fun with a BOOMING youtube title!

[@paulydoregon]

thanks for the shout out, honestly im glad a guide on such a rare and not often thought of hunt of mine can be of such use. major congrats

[@BeIlG]

what a setup journey even to this hunt. I really really enjoyed it all! Almost made it like a movie in a way. Really fun! I hope you can find a setup hunt like this again and take us along with you.

[@KevinJackson115]

Congrats on 5k! Would enjoy seeing a LeafGreen Sneasel hunt. Good luck with Ralts also!

[@TrainerNils]

Amazing Mike! I love when you're saying "ill be back for the shinyhunting part of this video" while already getting like 7 shinies lol. HUGE achivement, island + whynot!!!

[@owengrabell3408]

Congrats on 5k!!!! Very well deserved! You inspire me with my hunts and so many others as well! Taking on a hunt like this truly shows how much you care for your community and I’d just like to say thank you for doing what you do!

[@BottleRocket11]

Super belated response but LET'S GOOOOOO!! So happy for you, Mike! Can't believe we both saw this hunt through so close to each other but I definitely believe yours is just a bit more incredible considering the absolute time and dedication you put into this! Congrats, bud! Well deserved! Thank you for motivating me to pick the hunt back up when you started your quest! Also, I'd love to see u hunt Nosepass because I certainly need some motivation to hunt that guy, too!

[@Nintendown]

Some of my favorite hunts of yours have been in the Sevii Islands, and it's probably the area I most associate with your channel and videos. It's a wonderful area of FRLG that I always have a soft spot for. So, my pick for the hunt will be Qwilfish in any of the areas it can be fished up from, although I like Resort Gorgeous just for the location name. From a quick search, I can only find one video that's claimed a Gen 3 Qwilfish from JakeHunts, who also links to a now-privated video from SHJosh. I think this makes it a somewhat unique shiny that's also missing capture card video quality that can really show it off. And of course, congrats on 5K! Hope you hit 10K soon next!

[@Redisarainboww]

What a wild hunt!! Massive congratulations on this milestone and everything in this video! I never would have thought I would see someone hunt for mirage island! Wild!

[@mebrob]

im honestly surprised you didnt have more than 5k subs! you deserve so much more, man

[@Galactoaster]

Congrats on 5k, mirage island, and the wynaut. It's so cool to see someone legitimately find mirage island. It's one of those playground rumors from school that actually turned out to be true, but not feasibly verifiable like the requirements for the regi trio. I also wanted to say thank you for your video you made about hunting in the battle pyramid. I was able to set up the glitch from pomeg myself and I've been hunting for Aerodactyl there for a while now as a way of reclaiming my first ever shiny: Aerodactyl in the battle factory 17 years ago. As for your next hunt, I think game corner porygon in FRLG would be a simple yet neat one.

[@OliverMKP]

Massive congrats on not only the "big 3" - but also 5k subs! Really enjoyed the hunt(s) you chose for the 5k sub special - there is just something so special about Mirage Island. Also, thinking about that Wynaut has Arena Trap totally adds to the mysterious feeling of this island, kinda like *"those who went out and searched for the hidden island never came back..."* (because they got trapped) which is super cool haha!!

[@just_a_pkmn_guy7666]

what a milestone you’ve hit mike, congratulations are for sure in order! i hope there are many more milestones passed during your time creating content. a great generation 3 hunt i would love to see is the regi trio! while it may be 3 hunts, the three regis make one trio :)

[@wyd97]

I just finished my wailord hunt in ruby and it was so long but so worth it! its also a great hunt since you can afk while looking for encounters! would love to see you hunt that. your channel is awesome cant wait to see what else you upload!

[@TheShinyDot]

Dude that’s so sick!! Maybe go for a shiny e reader trainer card with the latios glitch! That would be amazing for a video

[@ShinyShinx7717]

5k is crazy! I think hunting both sudo-legends next to each other would be fun :]

[@angelalvarado4849]

Second gen starters in third gen, talked to you bout this hunt like a year ago! So here we go! 🫡 (Gabe)

[@ThedomiNATION]

Congrats! Mirage Island was something I would see in old school youtube videos when I was a kid and I didn’t think it was even real at the time! This has been a hunt I have wanted to do for a while I am glad there is a good way to actually hunt for Mirage Island! I will have to check the videos you showcased to learn more about it! But thank you for letting us know about this and congrats on 5,000 subs and the fabled shiny!

[@spampharos]

Congrats on reaching 5k subscribers! The idea of hunting for a shiny Mirage Island Wynaut is something I never even thought of before, but now I’m definitely adding it to the list of hints I’m going to do on my Ruby. A hunt that I really want to see you attempt is finding a Shiny Relicanth. I feel that the shiny is super underappreciated and would love to see more hunters go for it.

[@CakeKid57]

Congratulations on 5,000 subs!! Porygon is my favorite pokemon, which is a good shiny in its own right, but Porygon can go away, You should shiny hunt Omastar in Fire Red or Leaf Green!!! Happy Hunting!

[@sangan3202]

the shiny looks so much better in sprite form too, its one of the first pokemon i hunted in fire red with the casino

[@jorgeragelle9063]

@@sangan3202 did you get it?

[@nuzcole]

Congratulations to the 5k!! I'm glad you managed to reach this achievement ^^ As a next hunt I think a spoink one would be super interesting!

[@shavengrowlithe2099]

I cant wait to see your subscribers go up even more because this is only the beginning!

[@avhtarc2169]

I love this small channel and community, would love to see the sudowoodo hunt in the battle frontier! Have a great week!

[@luckytriples]

absolutely absolutely love your content always! you have such a kind community and it's easy to see why. :-) A stand-out moment from my childhood was looking for Krabby on One Island and finding Kingler, so seeing a One Island Kingler shiny hunt would be amazing! Keep up the incredible work!!

[@C0nnie]

you're crazy man congrats. a sick hunt i always thought would personally be a leaf green snorlax. one i hope to try myself someday. peace from NY

[@jazzthatshiny]

Super happy for you man. Congrats on 5k subscribers! That’s a huge milestone. Hmm, as far as hunts go. I’d love to see you go for 1% Wailord in Ruby!

[@jaakeepoo]

You really got me into hunting again on my old firered and leaf green saves and I got myself a shiny blastoise and abra out of it, happy you got to 5 and 6k now bro you deserve it

[@ayu1470]

hey!! congrats on the 5k and thank you so much for setting up an opportunity like this! It’s always a joy to see mew hunts ^^

[@THExPR3D4T0R]

Just found you in my recommended list. So glad I did! About to binge watch your vids while shiny hunting myself! My hunt I would recommend is my favorite pokemon, Bellsprout!

[@VioletZoroark]

I would love that! I've been trying to stream my Gen 5 hunts (I only have 3DS and DSI) But if I had a DS wish a capture card I could actually hunt in Gen 3! I've always wanted to get a Shiny Absol in Emerald! And I'm so happy you reached this milestone! You and some other KZbinrs have been gigantic inspirations for starting full odds shiny hunting! 💜💜💜💜💜

[@icyqueen1]

Congratulations on 5k! Wow. You have come so far! Here is to many more! A hunt in gen 3.. I would really love to see you hunt the Hypno in FireRed and LeafGreen! The one in the forest. That would be fun. :)

[@MrPokemonfreak2009]

I've been getting back into shiny-hunting after a loooooong hiatus, and discovering your channel has been an excellent source of motivation for me! I've mostly been a 4th-gen hunter, but I've found a few 3rd-gen shinies in the past, and while I probably won't attempt some of the crazy targets you hunt, I'll definitely need to dust off my Firered and Leafgreen. XD As for what I'd like to see you hunt next, one shiny I haven't seen too often is Spoink from the Jagged Pass. I didn't see it on your channel, so I hope I'm not asking you for a repeat hunt. Excellent video, and good luck with your current and future hunts!

[@dylantop4170]

Hey man congrats on getting to 5000 thousand subscribers. I am a sub who watches from the shadows and to see you grow is amazing. 10,000 here we come! Fun Fact: You ended the hunt of my B-day so i like to think my luck helped you that day (it helped me as well as i got 2 shinies) For your next hunt i wouldn't mind seeing an egg hunt maybe for tyrogue, magby, chikorita or cyndaquil as you have already done the others so its a way of finalising that. Good luck on your hunts!

[@austinmartinez8541]

Congratulations! I think I've watched all your gen 3 hunts now and I've been getting into hunting on my favorite gen last year and I'm so happy with what I've done So far and I never thought I was going to be able to do it and I have some hunts still in mind that are going to be daring for me. The ones that I am definitely going to do that I also would like to see you do is roaming Latios or Latias. You could also go for the 5% Relicanth when diving in Gen 3, But I also know you can repel trick that one to have it 50% Relicanth and that to me would be worth it. As of you posting this video I actually got a shiny Clamperl doing this this morning, So I wish you luck on whatever hunt you decide to do and on any other future ones as well.

[@cobracomandor2234]

You are makeing a good name 4 us true fans of early gens and shiny hunts keep up the awesome videos man

[@mczs]

I know you've done some Colosseum hunts, but I'd love to see you get the Shadow Makuhita! I love the colouration in Colosseum

[@Mar-di9yd]

congrats on finishing a very cool hunt! bit of a simple hunt idea, but I’d like to see a shiny absol hunt as it’s one of my fav pokemon

[@reiniervanderhulst3375]

Congrats on the 5K (well deserved!) and the Wynaut! I'd love to take part in the competition and I have a couple of ideas: - Hunt for a shiny Volbeat (Ruby) or shiny Illumise (Sapphire) on Route 117 - Hunt for a shiny Kecleon during the forced use of the Devon Scope on Route 120 (RSE)

[@Munchma7]

Congrats on 5k! Been watching since about when you were hunting in battle pyramid, love seeing the odd ball hunts. Not all that odd a hunt, but Psyduck is probably my favorite shiny so that’s my vote for next!

[@TheDancingMudkip]

That DS capture stuff was crazy

[@00599]

You’re a legend! Will try to reach MI as well. Here’s my suggestion for a Hunt: Shiny 1% Wailord on Route 129 just next door to Mirage Island. If I was mean, I would say single system and on Emerald because you can’t repel trick for it there. But I‘ll let you hunt it in Ruby with a Level 36 Repel Trick (that’s exclusive to Ruby and not Sapphire!) Impressive 10X Setup, me as a single system hunter questions what would be possible on a 10X. Got my first shiny of the year(!) just one month ago, being Articuno in Leafgreen…

[@HiraVGC]

Not too much here but I really love watching Gen 3 SH, so you are my fav one to watch right now. Congrats for the 5K. Hope you can hunt for two or more different and probably unique Spinda.

[@obstagooon]

Congrats on the 5k subscribers! I love watching your videos and how in depth you go with them! I love watching your videos while I hunt in 3rd Gen myself, and it even inspired me to go for targets I love in the 3rd Gen games, so thank you! I'd love to see you go for Slugma in any of the games it's available in in 3rd Gen! It's one of my favorites! ✌

[@lovelaurabee]

Congrats on 5k!!! What a milestone! :) I wanna throw my hat in for a Snorunt hunt, just because it's one of my favorites hehe.

[@iMind-Juris]

Thanks for hosting this giveaway, my hunt suggestion would be the Mew in Emerald! I'm in the midst of that hunt right now, and I used a Pomeg/arbitrary code execution box name setup to get the Old Sea Chart and event flag in a Japanese Emerald without the use of external hardware.

[@Ryouski]

Just saw you in my recommended. Well deserved 5k subs it seems. Keep it up!

[@k2a2l2]

congrats on 5k! almost at 6k already wow

[@brainless0000]

huge congrats on both 5k(+) subs as well as this beautiful shiny! i would love to see a 3rd gen wailord hunt!

[@OracleLSTV]

You're one of the few shiny hunters I follow, congrats on the 5k and the Wynaut. For a hunt suggestion, maybe Snorunt in Shoal Cave, it's in a pretty out-of-the-way part of Hoenn like Bagon is.

[@JollyDuskull]

So many cool things to see in this video. I'd love to see you hunt Anorith in Gen 3!

[@penguu.]

Congrats on 5k! You are on your way to odds! A gen 3 hunt that I want to do is shiny latios in ruby! latios has a great shiny and looks like a fun (and challenging) hunt to do! I would really enjoy the ds capture card since I love to create shiny hunting content!

[@henk8105]

incredibly cool & impressive hunt, major congrats!!

[@pup_pup_pass]

Congrats man this is awesome!! Can't wait to do this some day! My hunt request: Sudowoodo in Emerald's battle frontier via the battle video method! Or one of the other battle video hunts if Sudo isn't a good fit. Thanks for the great content as always!

[@anthonyshabby6041]

a unique hunt I'd like to see is one of the Hitmon's in FireRed/LeafGreen. Loved the Battle Pyramid shinies btw!

[@InYourFace1023]

Congrats! Insane hunt; happy to see it done. Might as well cap it off with Mew sometime soon (or maybe 10K special, who knows).

[@theknittedzombie]

Always a pleasure to see your videos on my feed! I propose you take on a battle tower shiny with the roamer glitch to catch it! An alternate hunt would be Snorunt in Shoal Cave! Such a good shiny ✨

[@idontcheckmynotifications]

Congrats dude! And such a cool giveaway! This is a very unique hunt. I also found Pokerus two or three times as a kid which I guess makes up for no random shinies at the time haha. Always feels weird how it’s rarer than shinies

[@ChileMoore]

Congrats on the 5k! I would love to see a shiny Kecleon hunt.

[@abraham_52307]

shiny hunt shiny lickitung from eggs, would really love to see that, plus having that ds would really help me to maybe start a channel 🙏🏽

[@goatmartino]

Amazing video your videos are dope as hell and are vey unique!!! 10k soon!

[@thesquirtlebeach1117]

FRLG Sandshrew! I've been stuck on it for 2 years now and have a Spearow to show for it, love Gen 3 and love your videos!

[@ibunroku_]

Congrats on 5k!! I think a Seviper hunt would be cool. I love it's shiny

[@TheTitaniumSamurott]

Seviper is such an underated shiny, it's definitely in my top ten favorite shinies.

[@docteurnew]

Congratulations on 5000 subscribers! I think Chansey would be a very good (and very quick) hunt to do...

[@mukmoffin4296]

Congrats on 5k! Love your videos. Gen 3 has always been my favourite and have always found full odds to be so much more interesting then the new odds in recent games. As for a hunt I think Huntail (pun intended) would be a very cool hunt to see.

[@MC_Bebop]

Very ecstatic to hear your shiny hunting caught the eyes of many. For a (not as rare, but still tough) challenge, try shiny hunting for Wailord in Sapphire. (Ruby and Emerald are allowed too.)

[@v0canon]

Wow that was so cool!! Congrats on the many shinies, finding that island must have been sooo cool to see too! I subscribed not too long ago, and it's really cool to see your channel grow! :) Also it would be cool if you hunted Skarnory or Spinda! I believe they're on the same route in Emerald, and they're great green shinies!

[@Moosington]

Congratulations on 5k, it's cool to see you're already closing in on 6k! I think it would be cool to see you hunt the sudowoodo in the battle frontier. It's a bit of a wacky hunt but totally doable.

[@microsoftword3594]

The rare safari zone Chansey. An oldie but a goodie.

[@ScxiiUnova]

Congratulations, KZbinrs like you who put love into their videos need more attention. 👍You should shiny hunt absol I love the pinkish red.

[@ThePokeLab_]

I’d love to see the 1% Wailord on route 129!!! Think there is a dive glitch you can do involving the acro bike that can make it a pretty interesting hunt! Congrats on 5k subs!!!

[@billuminati3867]

Congrats on 5k!! Been subbed for about 6 months and absolutely love seeing what you phase before you get the target. Would love to see a numel hunt cause shiny camerupt is such a good one!

[@notaaronf]

congrats!! i've been following you since the electabuzz from the DTQ and you inspired me to pick my last member on my own Fire Red DTQ, Electabuzz! a 3rd gen hunt i would love to see is a snorlax egg hunt in emerald. snorlax is one of my favorite mons ever and it would be so awesome to see it as an egg. good luck on your future hunts!!

[@ember613]

Congrats on the 5k! Just noticed im not subscribed lol, fixed that. What i would love to see you hunt is my favourite pokemon which is Grimer. You can find Grimer in Fiery Path and i would recommed hunting this guy in sapphire since you have 25% for it, but if you want to you can also hunt him in ruby with a 2% encounter rate. The choice is yours!

[@edmen5945]

I would love to see a Dratini hunt of some sort, either that or the cool Sudowoodo in the post game is a fairly unique one!

[@ProfessorRex]

What an amazing video Mike! Congrats on the Wynaut! I hope to join you in the Mirage club soon enough! Now do the Wynaut egg >:)

[@ClebbysChannel]

Awesome hunt! congrats on 5k! I think it would be awesome to see aerodactyl revives at some point!

[@BurgundyBirb]

I'd love to see an egg hunt for one of the trade-only pokemon in FRLG! Farfetch'd, Mr. Mime, Jynx, etc!

[@ElevateKoz]

Congrats on 5k! I'd love to see a Ponyta hunt as that was my very first Shiny encounter (albeit in Gen 4) Looking forward to more videos!

[@Cloudcutter_]

Congrats on the 5k man! I don't often comment as I'm quite introverted but you're one of my favorite hunters! Been watching for a while. I would love to see you hunt Feebas/Milotic. I know it's a toughie, but I think you can pull it off! ;3

[@Tlaloc1]

Grats! I think a cool hunt to do would be for Mew in Emerald. It's a great shiny and Mew RA's are really fun imo.

[@Lee-pv5sc]

Honestly I’d love to see a shiny Chimecho! Such a random and hard shiny to find. Watching these always makes me wanna Shiny hunt on my old childhood games!

[@rendgale]

congrats on 5k! and good luck everyone on the giveaway!

[@cybersoul2809]

Congrats, man! Fishing shiny Slowpoke/Psyduck in FRLG ;)

[@LOWERDUCK21]

Congrats! Would love to see a psyduck/Goldilocks hunt. Those are a couple of my favorites!

[@lbfrank5204]

Congrats on 5000 subs! I've been subbed for about 2 years and your content has improved immensely since then. Keep it up! As for what I would like to see you hunt, I'm leaning towards Porygon from the FRLG game corner. Should be an easier hunt considering the gauntlets you have going on on Route 102 and Ruin Valley atm, + you can evolve it into Porygon2 for your Johto Shiny Living Dex :)

[@yasr5931]

Congrats on the 5k!!! Your videos are so fun to have in the background, thanks for keeping me company while I'm doing my own shiny shenanagins. A hunt I've always wanted to do but never get around to would be shiny zangoose. I only ever had pokemon emerald as a kid so I never had access to it, but it was one I really really wanted in my team and I remember searching endlessly for ways to get it in emerald and hearing rumours about finding it in the grass in the daycare lmao. also, shiny zangoose just looks sick as hell and is criminally underrated when it comes to gen 3 mons

[@dragoncole9014]

Would love to see a shiny Murkrow hunt in Colosseum or a kecleon hunt in ruby/sapphire. This channel has been real fun to watch while doing my own hunts

[@lolmang4mes801]

Congrats on this milestone!! 5k is a lot of people but anyway cheers to many more! 🎉🎉 As for my entry in the giveaway, I suggest you hunt for shiny Deoxys on either Emerald, FR or LG!! I’m currently hunting it on FR, used a GB Operator and Mystery Gift to pseudo legitimately unlock the event since I don’t have neither the distribution cartridge, a second GB SP nor the wireless connectors 😅😅 Good luck on your hunts! ❤

[@lazuliclark8976]

So hyped for your 5k subs dude- absolutely love your vids. A really cool hunt would be another pomeg hunt for something other than celebi or hunting the sudowoodo in emerald battle frontier using the explosion method!

[@LunaMatrix]

Awesome video Mike! Ive always enjoy having your videos playing the background when I also hunt for my shinies. I would to see you hunt for a colo shiny entei

[@shadowfurret]

Congrats on making it to this milestone! I know you will continue to gain a following because you are so awesome! As for an idea of what to hunt next, I think it would be awesome to do the shiny lock removal hunt for colosseum where you hunt either umbreon or espeon after removing the lock they have! It would be so cool to go through that game with one of them shiny!!

[@juliaperkins9782]

As a shiny hunter myself, I can clearly see how much effort you put into your hunt! One of the best shiny related videos I've seen in a while. I believe you don't have a shiny Corsola (at least uploaded to your channel) and I'd love to see that. Thank you for the great video!

[@peak8262]

Congrats Gen3Hunter, your videos always make my day better! I would love to see you go for Nincada for the epic 2 in 1 shiny. Have a good day!
