My Longest Hunt Ever - Shiny Articuno after 46,270 SRs in HeartGold!

super happy to finally have my all-time favourite pokemon in shiny form!! not only that, but it's taken the place as my longest ever shiny hunt, which is slightly poetic. the trio is now complete too, which is a very satisfying feeling!
this hunt was started to mark my channel hitting 1,000 subscribers - a huge milestone for me. massive thank you to everyone who's subscribed and watched my videos over the years, i really appreciate it!!
thanks so much for watching!

[@TrainerNils]

Northing beats the feeling as finally getting your target after such a long time, massive congratz Kirsten!!

[@helloimuzumakikira1]

Oh wow, stumbling across a scottish person like myself on youtube recommended! Congrats on the shiny!

[@ribread9501]

Honestly the fact it's in a Master Ball is a great testament to just how hard you worked for this! So happy to finally see this hunt be posted on your channel, congrats!!

[@tinyarticuno]

that's a great way of looking at it actually - thanks so much!!

[@legendlinked]

What a great shiny! And after 46000 resets too! Yeah I will definitely master ball that too. I believe this shiny deserves it haha.

[@tinyarticuno]

haha thank you!!

[@wwshadowvv]

Articuno is in my top 3 favorite legendary pokemon. Im happy you were able to find the shiny version of this. Great video 👍

[@tinyarticuno]

[@Pist4chio]

[@SerFondue]

Awesome!!! Congrats, I’m sorry about the long hunt but at least you stuck to it and got it done 👏🏼✨

[@pkmntrainerbrian5675]

Ohhh, Gutted for you, but glad you didnt fail it, i was on the edge of my seat with those 3 shakessss.

[@Pink.Experience]

Huge congrats on 1k subs and on the awesome shiny! Long hunts like these hurt congrats on the blue bird! 🐦

[@3lc0rr3A]

Sweet icy bird, congrats on completing the trio! Can't wait to find mine, recently started hunting it :D

[@tinyarticuno]

thanks Julio, good luck with yours!

[@gmx4479]

i would have lost my mind with that many resets but glad you got it i assume you still use it to this day

[@paledesertmoth6255]

Congrats! I only got the guts to hunt for the Kanto birds on Let's Go Pikachu, 8192 odds can lead to some frustration, but I have to say that gen 4 Articuno's sprite is so much better!

[@Averyparker023]

Aghhhhh!!! I’ve been waiting so long for this I am so happy for you!! Congrats

[@MrBigNoodle]

[@tinyarticuno]

lmaooo true! thanks so much!

[@JCBLPs]

Lovely wee shiny! Grats Kirsten :)

[@tinyarticuno]

thanks Jason! :D

[@Tommy-gu6yb]

articuno is notoriously difficult to find shiny. i went 5X over odds on let’s go pikachu for it

[@tinyarticuno]

yikes, that's super unfortunate. cursed hunt for us both!

[@OrbitalBlitz]

Noticed your capture was 2 months and 1 day after *April* fools but you didn't allow yourself to be tricked by the shade of *Blue* of this *Bird* :) The *Azure* color on its skin looks incredibly stunning, it makes *Articuno* so majestic and gracious :D A *tiny* complain I have is the layout right before the showcase of the bird trio, it would've been nice if you made one with them together or transitioning in between the three but I get you, the spotlight should be on *articuno* ;) Major Congratulations Kirsten for this milestone and for the great editing on this video, and best wishes for more memorable future acomplishments ^__^ Also, hope the title of the video doesn't age terribly and the lengendaries that don't stay on your prefered poke balls can be trapped forever in a master ball 🙃

[@tinyarticuno]

LOL i see what you did there Dan ;) thanks so much!!

[@OrbitalBlitz]

@@tinyarticuno I was starting to worry that took you a month to realize it, jk ;) You're welcome friend :)

[@tinyarticuno]

@@OrbitalBlitz lmao sorry i just realised i had forgotten to reply to some of the comments on here haha
