[LIVE] Shiny Manaphy after 1,395 eggs hatched in Diamond (Pokemon Ranger)

[@Sonikks]

Hey guys, there's one thing I forgot to mention that I'm sure people will find odd. Why doesn't it show shiny in the hatch screen? The hatch screen is still representing the Trainer ID and the Secret ID that corresponds to the game it was received from Ranger in (the one that prevents it from being shiny). The summary screen shows the Manaphy as it corresponds to the Trainer ID and the Secret ID of the file it's currently on. I've uploaded the raw footage of the hunt from the point of deleting the save file and starting a new one that is unlisted here; kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6Ctq3ite9ykh8k - This is a hunt with a lot of history of people falsely claiming to have found it so I felt it was necessary to be as transparent as possible. I hope you enjoy the video and if you don't understand anything, let me know and I'm happy to answer any questions. Follow me on Twitter to stay updated between uploads; twitter.com/Sonikks1

Nice

[@thekoolkrab3226]

Do you know a guide on how to do this with the DNS glitch, like getting the egg I mean?

[@Pyromkw]

@@thekoolkrab3226 You can inject the event with pkhex or you can do the dns glitch like you said but it requires an open network, I would recommend using the hotspot on your phone and put the primary dns as: 164.132.044.106 (MAKE SURE THE DNS IS EXACTLY HOW I WROTE IT) and leave the secondary one blank. After that assuming the connection is successful you should be good to go!

[@darkmaster1201]

So John, how does it feel to see one of the rarest if not the rarest *in your opinion, wich I share* Pokémon that ever existed?

[@neBen_]

What's up, guys? My name is John, welcome back to YET another video. Love the intro lol.

[@SnipeMD]

Everyone goes insane when somebody finds a 1% Shiny Chansey in the Safari Zone, but I dont think people realize that Sonikks 100% legitimatley found the rarest Shiny Pokemon of all. This is kind of a monumental moment if we're being honest, and I don't think there's anyone more deserving.

[@Sonikks]

Thank you!

[@p1ruw306]

i think the rarest shiny is Latias/Latios from the mirage island

[@frost_sprite]

Shiny Spinda of a specific pattern?

[@danchunks7]

@@p1ruw306 it’s not as you can get Latios/Latias shiny legit in easier ways, it’s an interesting hunt and the mirage island circumstances make the hunt harder, but that has nothing to do with the rarity, this is the ONLY way to get a legit shiny manaphy therefore making this rarer

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

Finally got the opportunity to kick back and watch through all of this. Wow, this hunt is still so insane looking, even with this more efficient looking method. Watching the shiny appear legitimately made me jump, so I can't imagine how mushy your brain was feeling when it happened!! You still managed to put out super coherent commentary with some great points even in your mushbrain state LOL. Really glad that my date change advice helped you out in some way on this journey! Also loved how you took it on a tour of 4th gen with PBR and HGSS! Weird that the walking sprite looks so not shiny. Anyway, congrats again, man, unbelievable to see the three of y'all across the pond all complete this hunt, and I hope to see more brave souls take it on someday! I'm not sure if I will be one of them, but this video definitely gave me a spark of motivation on it that I had never felt before. Also, I'm calling it now: this video will suddenly become your 50k sub special very soon hahaha

[@Sonikks]

Thanks for your advice Matt, you're a legend.

Very well done, and congratz!! I remember when I did this hunt about 10 years ago, it took me 3441 hatches, on 2 consoles and with 2 eggs... It was a nightmare, but it feels shocking and relieving at the same time, doesnt it? I remember I didnt even feel rewarded, I was like stunned for a whole while. Treat it nicely! ;)

[@Waddyy]

Once again huge congrats Steve, insane how much time and prep has to go into this hunt. Glad it decided to shine incredibly under odds for you :)

Thank you Daniel!

[@estelle5798]

I was so inspired by this that I decided to do the Manaphy egg mission on the only copy of Pokemon Ranger I have, and it looks like I have the egg!! This will go much slower for me but to hunt this legitimately is going to be so exciting. Edit: I was able to redeem the Manaphy egg with the ranger net visible, the game had been played through just enough. Though you're right in that most likely it'll be impossible to redeem the egg with it showing otherwise.

[@rinus915]

I've got some patience but this is literally insane. Congratz man!

Had to check out your reaction again after the stream. This is probably the best reaction i've ever seen xD. The complete confusion is priceless

[@Elegant_Owl]

Ranger Net can be available without them taking the egg. I picked two up that had it, but they never put in the code for it. If they have the Ranger Net, that means they beat the game and most likely got the egg, OR they did the bonus mission such as the Mew one.

[@jamshush]

my copy of ranger doesnt have the Ranger Net on it, is it guaranteed to still have the egg available?

[@Elegant_Owl]

@@jamshush you have to have ranger net on your file to access the egg, so yeah your egg is still there.

[@jamshush]

@@Elegant_Owl does it only show up after the game has been completed even if the save gets wiped? i havnt gotten around to actually playing it yet so i dont know

[@Elegant_Owl]

@@jamshush Once you unlock Ranger Net, it's unlocked for the entire cartridge, not just the save file. If it isn't unlocked it's guaranteed that the egg is there. If it's unlocked you have to specifically check if it's there or not. To get the egg you need Ranger Net to be unlocked and you need to enter a very specific code "P8M2-9D6F-43H7 " (US code). It's extremely unlikely that someone comes across this, and in this day, they probably wouldn't have a Gen 4 game to redeem it. I went through 6 carts and 4 had the egg, two having Ranger Net unlocked already.

[@Sonikks]

Yeah I know. I just think it's best to avoid games it's visible on as the pain of playing through only to have it redeemed already is not worth it.

@@miaberra9176 You RNG abuse in front of the guy the distributes events in the Poke Mart (preferably in HGSS in Cerulean city). You then use your DS clock to reach the correct seed on the correct frame (of your 2nd game). Once you reach it, you advance frames to reach the desired frame you want from Manaphy. Once you reach that, you get the egg and trade it to your 2nd game. Look up a guide on KZbin
