[@Sonikks]

Thanks for 10k subs, you guys are the best. Enjoy this special hunt! Follow me on Twitter because wynaut; twitter.com/Sonikks1

[@ColiPlays]

Congratulations! This is a legendary I'd never hunt that's roaming, or any roaming legendary... I got my suicune in POGO today but that doesn't compare to you.

[@stevenirrizarry4208]

Awesome videos subscribed on your last old shiny hunt awesome work and dedication

[@VForceWave]

Hey what's the glitch about with suicune's stats?

[@keeganfaulkner1240]

Hey Sonikks1. I saw “Your Fried’s Bread’s” video on the shiny Deoxys. I was wondering if you could do something where you invite people to get the event for that and some others for Gen 3. I would definitely go out of my way to purchase another copy of Fire Red and Emerald if this was possible

[@SmeargleRocks]

Can't believe I forgot to try and trade for one of the roaming dogs from FR LG when I was collecting from around white

[@YourFriedBread]

Major congrats dude, a 3rd gen roamer is an incredible sight to behold!!

[@NiggazHomie]

@All Might I used the Master Ball on my Suicune in Leaf Green. But it was not shiny if you were talking about a shiny one.

[@jeremiah4548]

YourFriedBread suicune is 2nd gen

[@Phrscv]

@@jeremiah4548 It's a 2nd gen but it can be found roaming in the 3rd gen games. Which is what happened here.

Congrats I know that was a long brutal hunt, but you got one of the rarest shinies of all time.

Shiny Manaphy anyone?

[@bailey9633]

@@ianchristopher1918 I have a AR Shiny Manaphy on my old White lol

[@Sonikks]

@@DigimonVids Not in 3rd Generation & let's be honest, distributed shinies are literally worthless compared to ones you put time & effort in to.

[@Sonikks]

@@DigimonVids Yeah, that's a no from me. If you genuinely believe that a shiny that was literally handed to you is the same as one someone sat down and put work into finding, I don't know what to say lol. Shiny value is what you perceive it to be (in terms of odds) but gifts via Nintendo absolutely do not count.

this is insane this is literally a ~2000 hour hunt i have insane respect for this guy

[@ivanm3045]

No lie I would probably shoot myself like 2 hours into attempting this hunt tbh,, you have the patience of a God

[@TheUnderdog2020]

Beautiful shiny. Perfect video. Great detailed explanations. Can't get better quality shiny hunting videos than this. You're a crazy man to attempt these hunts, but I fucking love you for it!

[@Sonikks]

Words like that coming one of my biggest inspirations in shiny hunting mean a lot mate, nice one. I love you too! Really glad you enjoyed it. Get on some hunts of yourself as you know I love Colosseum shines. We spoke in private about your next target, get it done boyo!

[@CocktailBoomin]

Elxi the event ended :/

[@TJWattFan90]

Bro I tryed hunting a bulbasaur in fRLg and I quit after 300 encounters 1. I was on a emulator hack for pc and 2 I used a speed up button and 3 I had a button to reset to the part where I checked if the Pokémon was shiny so basically it said this is a easy and energetic Pokémon to evolve and then just said no name and yeah 1 hour of hunting and got bored I have no patience you are a trooper

[@ccvisions227]

Suicune is such a lovely shiny, you certainly have a lot more patience than I do, well done

[@kingzant99]

My favorite part is that you caught it where it spawns in HGSS

[@Terumimi]

Man, this must have taken months. Great dedication, dude.

[@SamuelBranmuffins]

Given the limited information of taking 1, 7, and 60 minutes to find each suicune I averaged those together and multiplied it by the number of soft resets. With that info it could have taken around 257 days to find. damn.

[@SameerKhan-cv7qi]

@@SamuelBranmuffins wow tho

[@blauweiss1894]

@Sythini That's not how that works buddy

[@idunnodo1142]

It took around 10 months according to the description

[@FailBanana98]

To those who don't get it : 257 days is the ingame playtime, not just the count of days he needed to find it

[@CatBarron]

That might be the only time that shiny suicune sprite was ever actually used in Colosseum.

[@ShadowSkyX]

Isn't that sprite the same one used for the Pokemon Crystal box art?

[@SkulShurtugalTCG]

Luckily, Suicune doesn't know Roar. I'm sure you know what would happen if it did.

[@Elegant_Owl]

Yeah but if he saved prior which he did, it would be all good

[@djshiver9689]

It would be like nuking a beautiful city

[@txborn]

Master ball

[@gear1233]

Wait what happens

[@Kebein.]

due to a bug it would disappear from the game entirely. raikou and entei know roar, so you would no longer be able to encounter it afterwards.

[@princessprodigi9392]

You are what the kids would call an "absolute madman". doing this hunt was crazy, but I'm so glad you did cause it's amazing! Enjoy your precious shiny dog!!

[@ShinyHunterSandslash]

This is so amazing, so happy you got it in the end dude!! Suicune looks the best in 3rd gen after seeing this, gonna go for it myself when ever I get Entei. Also congrats on reaching 10k subs, well deserved bro!!! :D Now to rewatch this again again and again!!

[@Sonikks]

I pray and hope your 3rd Gen roamer comes next mate. Best of luck, glad I can help keep you motivated.

[@Harichisan]

Love your videos Steve! I really love how detailed and informative they all are, makes it really great for doing the hunts yourself. Thank you

[@Sonikks]

Thanks mate, really happy you enjoy them. :)

Thanks mate!

[@AuroraLights493]

Oh. My. Good. LORD ABOVE!!! You, my friend, are a MAD MAN for attempting this hunt!!!! BUT WOW....what a SIGHT!! 3rd Gen Roamers are one of the most difficult hunts there is, and a feat that VERY few have ever successfully completed, you should be so proud! Major congrats to you!!!!!

[@shad0wphoenix1]

Holy shit this is literally my dream pokemon. Shiny suicune in gen 3 has been a literal dream of mine for close to 8 years now. It looks so good dude! Huge congrats!!!

[@MysticTemplar07]

I really appreciate the incredible effort just to get the content for this video. Almost a year just to find it, well worth it, congratulations!

[@speed0373]

Incredible hunt, incredible determination, incredible shiny! Congrats

[@BottleRocket11]

My god, man! Leave it to the roamer with arguably the longest resets to go double odds. You patience and perseverance is absolutely unparalleled. Congrats, man!

[@ShadowSkyX]

I feel like Suicune taking a lot of time to show up as a shiny seems to happen to a lot of people. I was stuck 3 and a half long (6-10 hr) days resetting as consistently as possible before it finally shined for me (with charm btw). It's among the best Shinies in the entire game so it's absolutely worth it!

[@TotemRotom]

One of the most dedicated hunters out there, gigantic congratulations on this amazing shiny! :)

[@Trevorman5]

Congrats, Steve!!! You finally got Suicune after such a long time and with little hunting due to your new job, if I remember correctly. You've earned it, man. Again, congrats!

[@xavierjb2902]

Congrats on 10k this is a amazing shiny keep up the great work and you do some of the best hunts I have ever seen

[@MrLazyAmerica]

Amazing shiny, but sad that it has poopy iv's due to the roamers glitch :/

[@Elegant_Owl]

@@Kambra IVs too in Gen 7, however it is not genetic, it will not pass down. And the Pokemon must be at level 100 and it takes a rare item to even do it.

[@thejuiciestofallthehams8130]

@Charlie Reeder if in sun moon/usum yes. Bottlecap for one iv, gold bottle cap for all ivs

[@lugiamastero13]

Don't forget the bottle caps and mints from SwSh are not permanent either so once you transfer it somewhere you will be given back the same IVs it had originally which sucks consider this shiny suicunes stats are just painful to look at

[@TRAXXAS58]

Believe it or not I actually managed to catch a Shiny Suicune without even knowing or realising on my first attempt! I've never shiny hunted, I encountered it by accident without even thinking about it and used my Master Ball instantly. I then looked at it in the box and noticed it was blue in the main picture but red on the tiny picture in the box. I was amazed when I realised it was shiny, my first ever and its got to be one of the best to ever get!

My first one was shiny poochyena in pokemon ruby, and it was at the first battle :(

IronFist just careful u gotta masterball it cause if it uses roar it’s gone forever bro

@@damiengemini5140 You don't have to Masterball it. While you're correct, once you flee and save it's yours forever. If it does that, you just reset. There's literally no reason to Masterball it.

I seriously give you a big thank you, even though i've already congratulated you on Twitter, for me isn't enough since this is something that excites me and i want to do one day but with Entei.Once again grats on the beautiful blue dog/cat Steve ^__^
