[LIVE] Shiny Shadow Croconaw after 16,620 Soft Resets in Pokemon Colosseum!

[@Sonikks]

Thank you all for 30,000 subs! This took a while to appear but will hopefully be the first of many Shiny Shadow Pokemon. Follow me on Twitter to stay updated between uploads; twitter.com/Sonikks1

[@justblay2125]

I am still a little confused, so if you kill the shadow shiny that the opponent has will it stay shiny?

[@Ghost-ed3oi]

Just Blay nope, the game will role the shiny odds again next time you face off against that trainer who has the shadow croconaw

[@chikawaifu8969]

I’m a new sub luv how you really work hard for this content

[@warrensnook9435]

I really wish Nintendo would port this to the switch or remaster it. I loved this game.

[@shawn3126]

I think they don't make spin-off games like these because the main games are now in 3d/"hd", But that's just my theory...

[@zeusraptis5834]

Add more stuff like in pokemon XD

[@ChicagoMel23]

I have it playable on Switch with custom firmware

[@juanmolina3052]

@@shawn3126 *A GAME THEORY. THANKS FOR READING*

[@truearea53]

Warren Snook yes ty, that’s what I’ve been thinking! But they really need to do more new Pokémon games featuring snagging shadow Pokémon’s, due to newer generations.

[@TheSupremeRk9s]

thanks for clearing up all the fallacies about hunting in these games dude!! Congrats on the shine, my Croconaw plush is watching with me in amazement and ur his hero

[@ashley4137]

you have an unholy amount of patience, this is one of the most insane hunts i've ever watched! great job dude this is awesome!

[@Sonikks]

Thank you! It was a fun hunt. Thanks for leaving nice comments!

[@ashley4137]

Sonikks no problem man, this is a new channel I’ve made but have been watching you for over a year now, love your style of content ✨

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

Grats, dude!! So glad we finally have confirmation that the first battle will NOT yield a shiny for the trainer. I updated with a pinned comment on my shadow hunting guide not too long ago to hopefully make sure people watching that video know that has been proven to not happen. Also, were you using the mClassic or just HDMI? The quality looks crisp Great perseverance in sticking through with this hunt during the main story for so long!! I could only handle like 300 Bayleef SRs before caving and doing the postgame method lol.

[@Bean0]

Pretty sure he uses the EON GCHD MK-II

[@DevinK727]

Pretty sure he uses the m classic

[@BroseidonLive]

Shinies from Coliseum are so cool! I feel like the encounter numbers that we see for this game are always in the 10,000s! Congrats on the Croconaw Sonniks!

[@Stenedux]

Wow. 17 years later, we finally learn the truth about shinies in this game. Astounding. Congrats. Just subbed. Keep up the great work.

[@lemonadogirl4082]

Imagine someone steals your Pokémon, and then sends it straight back out on you and it's suddenly shiny. Bluno doesn't have to imagine.

[@BlackKoiRecords]

I love that you not only put in the work to do this, you posted legitimate video with facts on the data and process. I really do see your hard work in making these videos. Great stuff man!

[@Gen3Hunter]

Hey Sonikks- congrats on 30k!! I’ve always loved and admired your hunts because of how great the quality of the gameplay is, but this hunt is on another level. I’ve never seen GameCube footage so crisp and clear. Keep up the awesome work my man, won’t be too long until we see a 100k vid from you!

[@andresreynoso7254]

The fact that shiny pokemon sprites are different the pokemon menu, is really awesome

[@brettkeenan8367]

I would love to see more shadow shiny hunts, these are so interesting to me

[@kennynakawaki]

I cannot imagine just how grueling and time consuming Colosseum hunts are. I can never. Kudos to you Sonikks!

[@loulou3676]

14:32 Play time 59 minutes The game has no idea what you've been through

[@Bean0]

Congrats on Croconaw you deserve it! Good luck on your next hunt!

[@foreversevenfold1666]

You're seriously the king. All these tedious hunts... Love your content!

[@AyaChan993]

Congrats on the Shiny!! It's always nice to see a Shiny from these games~ Good luck on your next hunt!

[@ThatGuyImortal]

Man I remember back when I was addicted to the game, I somehow managed to find a Shiny Sandshrew in Pokemon XD, and I was completely bewildered, it looked phenomenal, and I still have the memory card to this day with it on it! I hope to one day rebuy a Gamecube, AND A Copy of pokemon XD To see it again!

[@ArtisChronicles]

I hope you get to do that as well. I like revisiting my GameCube library in particular.

[@shinycollector]

Love to see it, congrats Steve!!!

[@infernodeathno5698]

Glad this just showed up in my recommended, Colosseum was such a big part of my childhood, so to see you actually catch a shiny in this game is crazy, congratulations!

[@Nishiluke]

Congrats! I also did this hunt for almost half a year but still haven't caught the shiny -_- this might be the motivation I need to go back and complete this hunt

[@67kingdedede]

Dont listen to them. A colosseum hunt is the most cloutworthy hunt in the whole franchise. It would be such a flex.

[@tekateman6464]

You can do it. We believe in you Good Luck :D

[@Its2EZbaby]

Congrats on nearly 40k now!! Well deserved. The most underrated shiny hunting youtuber I’ve seen, it’s great to watch as your channel grows!!

[@-Panna-]

This must have been SO draining to hunt. 😓 Especially since it took so dang long. Huge congrats on this croc, and 30K subs! I love your content so much, and watch each new video religiously; you totally deserve it. Keep it up!

[@ArtisChronicles]

Probably about as draining as my roughly 20 days of 0 speed hunting on Glastrier.

[@OkEmpress]

I literally just started my first Colosseum hunt when this video was recommended! Thank you for the inspiration!

[@cecillewolters1995]

This is so crazy, I've played these Gamecube games so much, even till today! :O A shadow shiny was always a dream of mine, so huuge congrats for you for actually getting it! Kinda suprised you didn't trade it to the mainline games, to show the sprite hahaha. Anyhow, congrats again, hope to see more of this ;)

[@ArtisChronicles]

The only reason I'd be sending any of these forward would be for the special mark that they get for coming from colosseum or XD

[@SleepyTaylor]

Congrats on the beautiful shiny! Also congrats on (over) 30k subs! I’m glad you explained how to basically prevent getting trolled by an uncatchable shiny, I did not know about this!

[@phoenixflame6048]

This is the hardest hunt I've ever seen! Good job sonikks!

[@nightmare348]

Holy crap, that's some dedication. I completely forgot you could even get shiny Shadows! And fuck, I LOVED this game so much, I need to replay it. :) First vid I saw of yours, gonna be coming back.

[@Serotonious]

You have incredible patience! I didn't even know Croconaw was in this game, I must have fainted it without even paying attention!

[@SaiyanZOMBIEguy]

Congratulations, it looks beautiful. I'm glad you showed it after its been purified, evolved, and in a battle.

[@ayanchowdhury6703]

Congrats on an awesome shiny and 30k subs!! 👏

[@Gorgidas-o1e]

Congratulations ! I already did shiny hunting on Colosseum last year for Vibrava. It is quite difficult to have as the save point is far from the trainer. I got it after 12,000 reset, I remember, it was at the same time as the Notre-Dame de Paris fire, I was very affected ...

[@kirstykristen9200]

I'd absolutely LOVE to see more hunts in this game. I honestly prefer the GameCube titles more than the main series because of how they look and their stories. The shinies, too, look good in this game -- not all of them, but they still look great in 3D.

[@tyranitararmaldo]

Any fresh content about Pokémon Colosseum is good with me! What a fantastic game, still holds up.

[@brucelau2023]

Omg mate congrats on that shiny Croconaw !!!! U absolutely deserve it , hope you’re doing well and safe right now through this rough time Steve

[@fudge7364]

Congrats man! I definitely need to buy a copy of Colosseum myself, and do one of these Shadow hunts! Good luck on whatever might be your next hunt!

[@09jesusm]

This game is from 2004 I believe and the graphics are insane😂

[@comics5633]

Jesus Merced yea I agree, these graphics were awesome for 04

[@dr3ad698]

better than sword.

[@Sonikks]

@@REBELxLOPEZ I'm not playing this on a ROM. It's real hardware & it's upscaled to 720p using the mClassic via a GCHD MK II Gamecube adapter. The Gamecube's base resolution is 480i/480p, it's not a SuperNintendo dude. These consoles are constantly being made better and better to 2020 standards. Research on some ways to get better signals from Nintendo consoles (N64 via RBG/480p) as an example. You can make retro consoles look amazing using devices such as the Retro Tink/Framemeister too. Literally, everything I do is on actual hardware.

[@REBELxLOPEZ]

Sonikks Nice my bad, I got the same set up as well never uploaded however so I assumed quality would be lost, sorry to think you were playing on emu, nice play through though!

[@TwistedMotive]

Congrats Steve, really nice one to start off the Colo hunts. Hopefully Colo treats you better for the next ones.

[@Emakura]

Your dedication is always insane! Major congrats!!!!

Incredible shiny amigo!!! Major congrats and on 30k subs! Wow!

Congrats dude! Gl on your next hunt!

[@TanteiGH]

You are CRAZY. And you’re awesome for it. I remember playing this yearsssss a go and for years I didn’t know there were shinies lol. I need to play it again but don’t think I’d have the patience to shiny hunt haha

[@SilverBell1999]

Omg, what a treat, I've never seen a Colosseum hunt before. nwn Congrats on 30k subs, you deserve it!

[@dionysus1394]

Wow, these hunts seem super cool. I may need to get my hands on a copy of these titles, problem is they’re pretty hard to come by. Congrats

[@quickiexd]

Congrats, Steve! I literally replied to your tweet that you always get the shiny after an update on twitter and you literally say it right after you got the shiny! Lol, can't wait to see you finish Feebas!

[@kouta5493]

Uuh what a nice hunt. Looks so beautiful! Congrats bro, u rly deserve it!

[@shieldspartangaming2525]

Eyyy nice job on getting shiny Croc! I actually just got a shiny totodile in Soul Silver! Such a nice shiny

Whoa congrats man. Very cool hunt!

[@jakewalker5522]

It really would be awesome for a remaster for both this and gale of darkness!! They’re too good not to be touched up after 15 years

Awesome Shiny, well done! Just subscribed to your channel 😄👌🏼✨

[@modestfurret]

Wow that’s an amazing shiny!!!! I’m tempted to go for shadow bayleef but I am a bit nervous to attempt it on my old colosseum disc haha

[@wesleybilly8097]

didnt know shiny hunting in this game was a thing. You are a God!!!!

[@Noelfriday]

I never played Colosseum and the trainer battle music that you got your Croconaw sounds so good

Congratulations on capturing your very own Caution Alligator!

Holy shit, incredible job mate!

[@MrTayseanpwns]

Aweomse of you to snag this! Just got my first full odds shiny in a pre gen 6 game! HGSS shiny totodile at the beginning of the game. Keeping him as a Croconaw. Now going for Game corner Abra.

[@anthonyblack3114]

Love the unique hunts! Thank you for the content

[@FarhadPhotos]

Congrats man! I could be wrong but if you decided to go for all ribbons in pokemon you would probably be the first person in history to ever to get a shiny from these games with all ribbons.

[@Cabbage61]

Congrats Steve, this is really awesome.

[@GryynGlo]

Man you have earned my respect, and a new sub.

[@EP1CMONKEY]

Congrats I would also love to see more hunts in xd and Colosseum.

[@x-Abraham-x2]

The music in this game is amazing and nostalgic to me, so stupid of me selling my Gamecube along with Colosseum and Xd

[@TomsSauce]

This hunt is insane, congrats on that

[@jenofjennifer]

I remember the old days when I never knew how to purify a shadow Pokémon and I had to look it up on a slow Windows XP computer.

[@RoHanky_]

WTF insane hunt, Respect my man Sonikks.

[@tygravon]

Oh my! I love this game! Didn't even know you could get shinies in it XO. Looks like I'm going to have to fire the game up again. By the way also a new subscriber of yours so looking forward to checking out other videos

[@TheGameGuild]

congrats dude, cant wait to see the next one!

[@LillieBeano]

You're a legend at shiny hunting, congrats!

[@Waddyy]

Congrats on getting your 36.6k sub special target :)

[@deoxysandmew2162]

That's awesome. I always thought that shinies in those games were impossible. Also, coincidentally, i remember as a kid when i found my first ever shiny in fire red... it was growlithe... i didnt know why the hell it was yellow and i was honestly afraid that once it evolves... it will lose its shininess XDDD

[@jamescoley4623]

Amazing job, this reminds me of when I would reset for the dogs to have good natures and ivs. The battles are so long! The premier ball should be available at this point as well, everyone forgets about them ;(

[@Sonikks]

Thanks but the Premier Ball has the same catch rate as a Poke Ball, Great Ball is better.

[@jamescoley4623]

Sonikks Oh yeah very true! I have had legendary Pokémon who would rather ko themselves than get caught in a premier ball. Keep up the great work and good luck to future hunts!

[@matthewking991]

Ultraball

[@Sonikks]

@@matthewking991 I literally say in the video that Great Ball is not available at that point

[@BIZaGoten]

Yooo nice! A gamecube shiny and it looks super crisp. I hope your next hunts are underodds instead.

[@devonsikuka]

I just got shiny croconaw after 6000 soft resets!!!!

[@DidgeridudeEX]

Shadow Lugia hunt or Colosseum Hooh hunt would be crazy!

[@farmingsim9813]

Shadow Pokemon are shiny locked in XD

[@zorzon069]

I Started this exact hunt! Nice shiny!

[@michaeltate1776]

Nice video, congrats! You have good tastes, I love Pokemon Colloseum. More shinys pls! I wouldn't mind seeing a shiny ho-oh in Pokemon colloseum if it's byanychance possible.

Congrats!

[@zethschatz28]

Great job! insane hunt :O

[@markandroguevarra6764]

I love how you make this game looks professional! Do you stream?

This makes me want to continue my shiny shadow smeargle hunt.

[@GuardianDiancie]

Congrats I wish I had a lot of patients for shiny hunting in “Pokemon Colosseum” and “Gale of Darkness”.

[@JPOFett]

Gale of Darkness is shiny locked sadly

[@zeehond604]

Jpo Fett no

[@samshinyhunts3029]

What a great shiny, congrats!

[@Yuuerin]

Nice congrats!! I wish the switch would come out with a new version of this game..

[@Pokemonguy16RS]

Imagine someone doing this on a legit copy, saved onto a memory card, but with ALL shadow pokemon shiny. That would be the ultimate Colosseum save file.

[@lbfrank5204]

Congrats on the Croconaw! Used to play the Gamecube games quite a bit when I was younger, though it never crossed my mind you could get shinies in either of them. Would love to see more hunts like this in the future. Did some research and there are actually loads of interesting hunts that could be done in these games, tho alot of them I've seen are uncatchable so i don't think it would be absolutely worth it, but still cool nonetheless. ie I saw someone get a shiny mence on the simulation at the beginning of XD, and i seen a few hunts for pokemon on battle sim dvds as well. For catchable ones, I've seen several people hunt duking's traded larvitar for a shiny. I dont think you can shiny hunt any traded pokemon in the main-series games aside from let's go, if i'm correct. Goodluck on DTQ Feebas btw!

[@mellowlean688]

Just for your struggle I’ve subscribed lol

[@aalacer398]

It really looks good in Pokemon Colosseum.
