LIVE Shiny Cyndaquil after 7918 SRs in Pokémon Emerald + Evolutions

This is my 500 Sub special video so thanks again for that. Touched on it lightly in the video, but I was always contemplating whether or not I'd reset once I got the shiny to see if I could find it again. My hands left me no choice, but I'm glad I did, it was certainly an experience trying to find it again.
Really enjoyed a lot of the aspects of this hunt, including completing the Pokedex, so highly recommend attempting this if you ever have the chance.
If you have any questions about the hunt feel free to ask, I tried to cover most of it in the video but there's no doubt I probably missed a lot. If you want to see more of the Johto starters being hunted, and more in-depth explaining on how this hunt works, I recommend checking out the following links:

Just wanted to emphasise the point that I didn’t fail the first Cyndaquil. The second Cyndaquil I found was the exact same as the one I originally found due to how the Battle video method works. If you want more information or want to see what I did but with way better explanation, I recommend this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4Waf2Z6e9h5o9U

[@mrletsplayit]

Awesome find! I really like how you organized the video and demonstrated the method. You found the shiny again way quicker than I did lol. Congrats!

[@Olig1]

Thanks man, really means a lot since there was no way I’d of done this hunt without your videos. Ideally wouldn’t of reseted over the shiny straight away, but certainly was a unique experience going for it again and definitely enjoyed it. Thanks again dude!

[@Sonikks]

You lucky, lucky guy lmao. That reset though. Awesome video man, amazing work. I've actually had this on my to-do list for a while but I'm thinking of alternating the starters I choose. Congrats!

[@Olig1]

My hands were just a little too eager to try and showcase off how Emerald’s RNG works I think... lol. That’d be a really cool way to do it, never thought of that actually. Thanks man!

[@STEHGEIG3R]

My heart SANK when you SR'd over that Cyndaquill, completely forgot how this all works. Massive congrats man, you really don't see these hunts often!

[@Olig1]

Thanks Ste! Ahaha yeah, I definitely got into a bad habit of SRing too quickly because I knew I could reclaim it with relative ease, something I’ll need to shake off before I do other Gen 3 SRs.

[@OliverMKP]

Super epic video man, congrats on this Gen 3 Cynda and on 500 subs! And GL on the Colo Quilava!

[@Olig1]

Thanks man, really appreciate it! Good luck on the Raikous!

[@CPUBLUE]

I never get tired of seeing emerald shinies and all the ways hunters get around the fixed RNG seed. We always find a way. Congrats!

[@Olig1]

I agree, it’s amazing and always so fascinating to see what people are able to discover in 10+ year old games and how it can be applied to shiny hunting. Thanks man!

[@TrainerNils]

Congratz man!! Really cool video

[@Olig1]

Thanks man!

[@BIZaGoten]

Funny how you reset over it, big grats on getting this! Also yeah Typhlosions icon looks super cool, wth

[@Olig1]

Yeah, totally intentional... lmao. Thanks man, appreciate it!

[@MajesticPale]

That was quite cool to see you soft resetting right over the shiny then getting it back within a short time. super daring to mess with emeralds broken rng like that. congrats Olig.

[@Olig1]

Thanks Pale! Yeah, although my hands/fingers really didn’t give me any choice whether or not I wanted to attempt resetting for it again, it was still really interesting to do.

[@speed0373]

So cool to see the Johto starters in gen3, I really need to try this one day Congrats man!

[@Olig1]

Thanks Speed, appreciate it man!

[@GrainofRiceHD]

Such an epic hunt, congrats man ! :))

[@Olig1]

Thanks dude!

[@shad0wphoenix1]

This is such an amazing hunt. I love seeing stuff like this. Congrats, Olig! Such a spectacular shiny!

[@Olig1]

Thanks man, super appreciate it!

[@saiklex1961]

This is awesome, especially the RNG reclaim! Congrats!

[@Olig1]

Thanks man!

[@Bloons22]

Awesome shiny dude grats!! I love this hunt, ive wanted to get my fave boi totodile from this method, maybe one day :) I love seeing people go for these, cynda and typhlosion look soo good in 3rd!

[@Olig1]

Thanks man! I really recommend it, the grind for the Dex is actually a lot of fun and the hunt in itself is not too bad at all. I agree!

[@Cabbage61]

Congrats Olig!! Amazing shiny and very cool to own it in gen3. And huge congrats on 500 subs!

[@Olig1]

Thanks Cabbage, really appreciate it! Yeah, it has such a nice sprite in Gen 3, and it’s animation is pretty great.

[@Cynical6]

Yesss love your videos and your voice never gets old. Congrats on the awesome Cyndaquil.✨🔥

[@Olig1]

Thank you very much, really appreciate it!

[@TheShinyShack]

Major congrats!

[@Olig1]

Thanks!

[@Jocoshin]

This is pretty cool! I do want to do one of these hunts at some point, potentially for totodile. Big congrats!

[@Olig1]

Thanks Jonny! Totodile is definitely a very cool one to do, big fan of its whole evolution line in Gen 3.

[@CaptainPabu]

Congrats and funny enough Cyndaquil is my first video too. Love it.

[@Olig1]

Thanks! Yeah, it’s quite a common first video I think but nonetheless a really cool one.

[@impul8e574]

gz man! Youre just making me wanna hunt this now haha

[@Olig1]

Thanks Impulse! I really recommend it, it’s not all that slow and of course the sprites are well worth it.

[@trebloe9414]

Good stuff, this sets you up nicely to use Quilava to do a multi-generational rat reclamation, eh? But seriously, great shiny to celebrate the sub milestone, pleased to see the number keep growing.

[@Olig1]

You sussed it, gonna use this Quilava to hunt a Rat and make it my 1k special. Thanks man!

[@shynihunterpt]

Great video man and awsome shiny! Im actually doint the same hunt, but im going with totodille!

[@Olig1]

Thanks man! Good luck with your Totodile, I plan on starting that one pretty soon as well lol.

[@shynihunterpt]

@@Olig1 thanks!! I will be here to watch!

[@reniyourenitube6978]

the reaction haha. just a dull yes. as if you expected it haha. congratz. sincerley Ynku.

[@Olig1]

Thanks! With how this hunt works, I was actually expecting to get it 2nd time around. I’d already found the early shiny frame from my first Cyndaquil, so I just kept reseting until I hit that, which only took about 30 minutes or so.

[@reniyourenitube6978]

@@Olig1 oh. doesn't sound satisfying. haha

[@Olig1]

Well I found the Cyndaquil with 8192 odds, and as the second Cyndaquil is the exact same pokemon (Stats, IVs, Gender etc) as the first, I got the same satisfaction from it than I did any other hunt. Apologies if I didn't explain it very well in the video!

[@reniyourenitube6978]

@@Olig1 dw. Maybe I forgot it and you explained it perfectly.

[@daeekhoorn6002]

great sniny, very poggers

[@Olig1]

Thank you sir!

[@SleepyTaylor]

I guess for once we can say thank god for emeralds broken rng. That would’ve been a bummer if you had to hunt it again! Congrats on getting such a great shiny. Very jealous you get to admire it in person in colosseum! Edit. When you fail to spell shiny right. I’m cool.

[@Olig1]

Thanks man, yeah it's something I'm very proud of. I must admit I probably wouldn't of been reseting as fast I was if I knew there wasn't a way of reclaiming it easily, but certainly learnt a lesson from it all.

[@SleepyTaylor]

Olig you’re welcome! I get that, not much to lose, so you could hunt it more casually.

[@somechupacabrawithinternet8866]

nice i got my shiny tepig today! after 3 month

[@Olig1]

Awesome, congrats!

[@JH_x3]

God damn. Gen 3 sprites stay the best

[@Olig1]

They do not miss, I agree.

[@jonmartin9686]

Don’t get too hyped man jk jk lol

[@Olig1]

No worries ahah. Reason why I wasn’t jumping off the walls when I got it 2nd time around was because I was expecting to get it due to how Emerald’s RNG works. I recommend watching the video below if you’re interested in finding out more as it explains better than I could! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZ-4Y4aMac2spMk

[@jonmartin9686]

Olig awesome stuff man. I’m going for some Gen 3 starters rn wish me luck!!

[@Olig1]

Thanks! Good luck, all Gen 3 starters have such great shinies.
