[LIVE] Shiny Roaming Cresselia after 19,542 SRs in Pearl

An absolutely amazing shiny without any doubt. Shiny Cresselia sits comfortably in my top 5 shinies of all time. I can't believe how nice it is. The blue and purple combination in particular look incredible.
This is my 9th Shiny Roamer for my Roamer Quest. Double digits soon!
Here is a bit of information on how to hunt Roamers in Sinnoh and the information in the source code;
There is a 50% chance to find a Roamer if it's on the route. A significant jump from Gen 3 (~5.5%); imgur.com/vPVyZHC
There is a 30% chance of the Roamer hopping to another route if you don't encounter it first. Say you find a Shinx instead; imgur.com/aY3BWEV
There is a 1/16 chance of time you reset the route while chasing it down that its location will randomise; imgur.com/f8soxlm
The games actively try to stop you from "boxing" the roamers in (around PalPark for example). Sneaky! imgur.com/5Caxv8a
Thanks for watching as always!

Good job on the shiny 👏

What game's do you like hunting in better gen 4 or gen 5?

[@embargogamer2717]

This channel is such a gem. I wish we could do more to promote this guy. No cringe reactions, no sponsors, no drama, just amazing informative peak-Pokemon content. I love you dude

Wishmaster145 big fax

[@dozinggreen5824]

i mean... if he got a sponsor i'd be happy for him lol

[@johnmartinez7440]

He reacts to a shiny (after 20k attempts) like he has to keep very quiet lol. Nothing wrong with sponsors if you do it right.

[@Sonikks]

​@@johnmartinez7440 "He reacts to a shiny (after 20k attempts) like he has to keep very quiet lol" Completely false, it's called a normal reaction. Screaming at the top of your lungs is a put on.

[@cosmicwave9547]

@@Sonikks Really love your content and I'm completely ok with however you want to react (it's your hunt lmao) but I don't think Screaming is a put on (SOMETIMES) I am not gonna talk about youtubers or anything, but my reaction when I found Shiny Giratina after 21046 resets and 10 months of hunting in platinum was 100% genuine screaming :') I really tend to get very enthusiastic about stuff so that was no exception. Just wanted to leave this here. Love your content, keep it up ♥

[@sweetumami1338]

“And just under 20k!” I applaud you for your tolerance, I could never have that patience

[@ShinyHunterSandslash]

This is definitely one of the best shinies, the blue and purple work so well!! Congrats dude, hopefully the next roamer won't be as long!!

[@waferae]

Another shiny that gamefreak didn't mess up

Hi shiny hunter sandslash

Behold, the 100 Seen Entei

Here after crystal entei in 💯 encounters

[@blob4750]

I have a shiny cresselia.. In pokemon go

[@Olig1]

Never get tired of seeing Roamer shinies, especially when they're as stunning as this one. Congrats on your moon duck man!

[@mazinosman1142]

Lol. Moon Duck.

[@shinysamurott613]

Cresselia is easily one of the most beautiful shiny legendaries in the series. Congrats on that.

[@omegafd6992]

Rayquaza is my fav. The golden rings with the black body.

[@jazzthatbrass3484]

Huge congrats, Steve! Can’t wait to do this hunt one day. Cresselia is my favorite legendary (and shiny legendary) of all time 😊

[@QuinnCoulombe]

You better get started now

[@flotechno3920]

Quinn Coulombe hahaha yah true

[@thatsprettyfarfetchd9888]

I'm planning to do this hunt later in my Pokemon Pearl SBQ, congrats! Actually made it early for once too

[@Tfbm187]

Same but i think its gonna take Ages 😂 wish you good luck :) if u hunt it message me if you Catched it :^)

[@chrisyi5761]

I’m impressed, not only that you got it, but that you have the patience to teleport, biking back and forth until it shows up on the route, and then sr until you get it. I don’t even have the patience to sr when I’m right next to the Pokémon then just have to battle it.

[@Revengeur72]

You do the most difficult hunts, and no matter the amount of resets you always keep hope. A true example of determination here. Love what you do

[@jerrya346]

I had just watched rk9s on a video saying gen 4 shiny cresselia was rare to find on YT and hard to shiny hunt, glad you got it!

[@JohnstoneYT]

Can you hunt Jirachi in Colosseum pls Sonikks I’m your biggest fan :)

[@AradhyaHimself]

No you're not I am

[@andylel]

Cant believe some people can just come onto the internet and write these LIES. Everybody knows im his biggest fan and he needs to get his shiny ekans

[@AradhyaHimself]

But being more fan of sonikks than the guy who's channel is in the channels section of his channel is pretty awesome

[@cammoore___]

omg hi John

[@michaelstephens4992]

Dude..... That would be a BITCH! Even with rng manip, there's still a chance that you could miss the frame. If you do, and it's not shiny you have to restart your sapphire/ruby :'(

[@kelpzie]

this is such an incredible hunt to be able to say you've completed! i've always admired people who would go after roamers, you need an immense amount of patience... i've only hunted mesprit so far (which i got super lucky with, only took around 1400 sr's) and that was fun and all, but whenever i think about having to go nearly 20k like you did for a roamer, i just... NOPE. you're so dedicated and it's awesome to see!

[@buggets]

Congratulations on the shiny moon duck! A great hunt for a great shiny! :D

[@thelocalninahopkins5666]

She's so pretty, definitely one of my favorite shiny Pokemon too.

[@june-lol1175]

The fact that you have to soft reset before releasing them into the overworld makes roaming legendaries quite difficult to hunt, although dppt makes roaming easy to track down. Great job with the endurance!

[@descendng]

What a beautiful shiny, huge congrats dude!! Good luck on the next hunt :)

[@JCtheCaster]

Never tire from watching your videos, the presentation itself regardless of the hunt, is captivating! Congratulations on this phenomenal roamer, eagerly awaiting the next hunt!

[@Sonikks]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@Its2EZbaby]

You are the most patient person I will ever see. What a tedious hunt with all the little steps required, my god!!! Always great to see a new video by you!!

[@Claudia-tm9dr]

I'm so excited to hunt this myself in the future! Such a very lovely shiny and massive props for attempting this, and the roamer quest overall! I've been hunting shinies since 2011, and hunters like you keep drawing me back to it, and the community! Gl whatever you are hunting atm!

[@gigicorona9388]

The music is taking me back to a simpler time... One of the most beautiful shines out there!!!!!

Dude that’s a pretty cool moon, congrats :)

Thank you! I don't actually listen to the music as I hunt fortunately. It goes from my DS to my PC via an aux cable :)

Cresselia is easily one of my favorite Shiny Pokémon, and I feel like it’s a really underrated one.

[@ShinyGolduck5]

Yay Steve back at it again with an amazing hunt, congrats.

[@auroraverdone4593]

Your videos inspired me to go back to my pokemon platinum save file and hunt for shinx! An easy one for a beginner, but I had +400 hours of gameplay there and it had always bugged me how I could never random-encounter a single shiny, so I just went and got it, just yesterday! Now I'm raising my little yellow lady until she becomes a Luxray!

[@KrishDamany]

Ooh that’s amazing - love the roaming shinies!

[@danielve09]

You are back! Huge congrats for this amazing shiny!

Wonderful hunt for a really wonderful shiny! Huge congrats
