My RAREST Shiny Yet! - Shiny Jirachi in Pokemon Ruby after 7,693 resets

[@ThedomiNATION]

What hold up I didn’t expect the shoutout in this video! Thank you so much man! That caught me off guard! and Congrats on the shiny Jirachi! I actually am planning to hunt it very soon myself I can’t wait! Edit: On your question if you can send the shiny Whishmaker Jirachu up through Bank and the Home, I have heard that you used to not be able to but after a “recent” update to bank (that was a few years ago), you can now. I have also seen people with RNG abused/hacked shiny Whishmaker Jirachis in Sword & Shield. HOWEVER, I have not seen any actual video evidence that it can be sent up but maybe I will have to try and clone mine to test whenever I get around to hunting it. So hopefully that helps anyone who is curious. I would say you can send it up but do so at your own risk!

[@LetsleyPlays]

I wasn't expecting to see you pop up in the video. Congrats! :D

Hiya

[@crichitoPokez]

Have a cuestión for this metod, the battery need to works for this ShinyHunting?

[@memr1626]

You can

[@HaxAras]

The update was due to a shiny Jirachi event in gen 6. So they had to remove the shiny block from Jirachi, which allowed the legit Wishmakers through that they'd previously blocked.

[@snappysausage]

I just set up this hunt for myself today. I failed the corruption method 2 times and had to restart. On that 3rd attempt I found the shiny. I never even got to learn the method. Thank you for the inspiration to even set up the hunt. My hands are still shaking a bit.

[@tombucannon]

Awesome luck man!

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

Excellent video and excellent explanation. Congrats, Steve, on the best shiny mythical!!! This method is one of my favorites because of how much it changed this hunt and the ingenuity of it. It feels like one of those super niche pieces of tech a speedrunner would master to improve a run, and it's awesome to be able to apply that to a discipline that feels simultaneously in the same vein as speedrunning while also being the antithesis of it - the grind of shiny hunting.

[@Blitzbrie]

Top notch comment right here

[@tinyarticuno]

lmao i love how we can just hear your brain melting in real time when the shiny appears. huge huge congrats on getting this, what an incredible shiny to be able to add to your collection and SO cool to see!! 10/10 intro as well, you explained the hunt and mechanics really clearly and the editing was super clean. it's obvious you put a ton of time and effort into this entire hunt and it paid off big time, truly inspiring stuff!! however now all i can think about is how much i want a shiny jirachi of my own...

[@Sonikks]

stop being nice to me it's weird ty ty!!!

@@Sonikks that’s you for the rest of the year now, next compliment from me won’t be until 2023 at the earliest

[@autran-j8h]

you can just gen it lmao, indistinguishable from a genned pokemon, shiny hunters are mentally ill

[@davepumphernickel9568]

@@autran-j8hlol I think there’s just normal Pokémon for people who don’t want to spend time looking for rare/cooler mons ya big baby, like why even comment on something like this with not interest for shinies unless you have a mental illness.

[@ahuhokay]

nothing beats the dedication of the shiny hunting community, this is such an amazing find

i wish i had the resolve to hunt this thing bro 😭

[@jasonyoon9914]

[@harv612]

Dude congrats. That’s incredible. Love how you always take the time to explain the setup and give the explanation before the hunt. Always enjoy seeing your content man. Keep doing you!

[@theshinylads9666]

I'm so glad that the corruption save method is being used more and more! Congrats on your shiny Jirachi :)

[@AS34N]

Sonikks...you are an absolute madladd for this one lol. I've been following your shiny hunting adventures here on youtube for a couple years now; and needless to say, you've got some VERY impressive ones over the years..but this one is on a different level of dedication. Awesome explanation, awesome hunt, awesome reaction, and awesome video my friend. Now it's time for a well deserved little break haha. Cant wait till the next hunt man. Keep it up! Edit: my spelling

[@zowsk1969]

I remember getting the Pokemon Channel Jirachi as a kid and it feeling so special! Congratulations, can't wait to do this hunt myself one day!

[@taakotruck1894]

I just found mine!!!!!! Congrats on yours Steve, this shining is amazing. Mine came after 1,413

[@yolandarangel2381]

hi sorry don’t really know much about Pokémon but 1,413 tries or ?

[@mitchu50]

I'm currently approaching 19k resets myself, watching this video once again to give me motivation! I won't stop until I get it.

[@radio-future]

Hope you get by Christmas

[@mitchu50]

@@radio-future I actually ended up finding it a little over a month from when I posted that comment! Did an insane average of like 280+ resets a day, everyday and ended up getting it a little over 22k.

[@radio-future]

@@mitchu50 Congratulations man!Definitely a trophy shiny worth the grind. I’ve been wondering one thing about this hunt, maybe you would know. Is it possibly to reset for jirachi on an emerald copy?

[@mitchu50]

@@radio-future I've never tried, I don't play Emerald much due to its broken rng and I love reset hunts. I've heard that it isn't even possible to transfer Jirachi from the bonus disc to Emerald, though I haven't tried to do it myself. Emerald came out after colusseum so I would assume not.

[@PokeToT]

one of these days im gonna have to continue my jirachi hunt!! congrats, it looks phenomenal! the corrupt save method messed up one of my games and gave me a very interesting save file! so this hunt has already blessed me. can't wait to own a shiny jirachi as well one day!!

What did it give u??

[@ShinyHunterSandslash]

What a shiny, its so amazing to see! So happy for you Steve :)

[@estelle5798]

This is a total dream shiny. I've been waiting to hunt it, but maybe it's time. Biggest congratulations, I'm so genuinely happy you managed to find it ❤️

[@jansent3393]

Massive congrats Steve! The absolute panic in your voice after seeing jirachi is perfect. Fully intend on dusting off my bonus disk from childhood and joining the shiny jirachi club one day!

[@kuplion_]

Jirachi is such a beautiful shiny! Massive congrats on this, Sonikks! I think this was one of the purest reactions I've seen as well! Absolutely loved the video!

[@MajesticPale]

Heard about this method of hunting jirachi but never saw how viable it makes this jirachi to hunt, really cool Steve!

[@pinkyogre4764]

C'est la première fois que je vois cette méthode de corruption en détail, incroyable ce gain de temps ! Félicitations encore Steve =)

[@Dave98x]

I am sooo happy that this method was discovered. I got Jirachi myself last year after 1947. Already wrote it on Twitter but really big GG! Think it's nice that such a rare hunt is becoming more and more popular. And you're now one of the few people who have shiny Manaphy and Jirachi. What an achievement!!

[@RokkTheRock]

yoooo congrats!!! thats such a big accomplishment. i actually gasped seeing this video show up in my recents

[@chrispilavis5272]

I think this is your best shiny yet, congrats man!

[@robinscompass5951]

Holy shot good job dude! This shiny is extremely rare and it’s super cool to see someone get it!

[@Kwikpanik]

Absolutely love the video format! Congrats! The history and explanation pieces are always great to listen to. Less than three

[@boltpanther5862]

What an amazing shiny! It's beautiful :) I don't know many other people on KZbin mad enough to do this amount of research and then actually go for it! You deserve it after all this effort - what a treat!

[@superkonijn988]

really inspiring stuff. It never crossed my mind once that the bonus disc jirachi could be shiny.

[@OrbitalBlitz]

I could just feel the genuine excitement and disbelief the moment shiny Jirachi fell from the sky night :) I wasn't aware of the different bonus discs and the existence of unique Jirachis. It's a hunt that I definitely want to do in the future but I'll need to purchase the equipment first and might take a long while. You did a really nice job in editing this video, everything was smooth and clean! And props to the shiny hunters who found this method and optimize it, now everyone who decides to go for it can have their wishes come true :) Shiny Jirachi is a magnificent one, I love the black marks around its red eyes and that pallet pink in its body really suits it. Congratulations Steve and have fun on this new journey with a wish maker that can make this adventure memorable all the way ;)

[@arcticdino1650]

This is one of the coolest things ever, congratulations on the shiny!

[@mattismo]

Literally the dream, congrats!!

[@Nephyyy]

Huge congratulations on the hunt! Thank you for taking the time to explain the process as well. Tempts me to get my feet wet and try a few encounters!! Awesome video too!

[@EngineerfifeninerO]

Truly a wonderful hunt for a dedicated trainer! A great shiny! A treasure to behold for sure.

[@yommmrr]

Epic! 2 of the coolest shinies ever the other being the safari zone chansey. What a legend, congrats Steve!

[@starffruit]

hey! that’s me! :) congratulations on this AWESOME and *incredibly* rare shiny! and best of luck on your hunts in the future. you’ve gotten some amazing very rare shinies, like your shiny manaphy, but personally… this makes me VERY happy :)

[@chromakuro]

I liked the editing, its nice to have a background like that explained by you

[@chiliblue1945]

Congrats! i got a random shiny Jirachi in an Emerald Randomizer once, its quite the treat.

[@CaronaCc]

Jirachi is my FAVORITE pokemon and it's shiny is just... amazing! I want to do this hunt so badly one day

[@necro4005]

THE ABSOLUTE MAD MAN DID IT! Congrats my dude!

[@BroseidonLive]

So sick Steve, congrats! The corruption method has led to some other crazy stuff too. TalesOfTaylor’s game bugged out enough to let him catch a shiny “uncatchable” pooch lol

[@cecillewolters1995]

Is that on KZbin? Sounds awesome! :O

[@IAmMissingnoMaster]

One: Big, big, huge, major congrats! I've been on this hunt myself for a while now, seeing your tweet about it motivated me to get back into it with greater gusto than before, and I'm hoping for results on my end sooner rather than later. Two: ...oh my Arceus, is that ending implying what I think it is? Shiny Wynaut hunt on Mirage Island??? THAT'S LIKE MY DREAM! I was obsessed with Wynaut back in Gen 3, but I never made it to Mirage Island!

[@animestop95]

Thank you for posting the QR code for Magearna. I just recently started playing Ultra Sun again and I realized I never received that Pokemon. I saw the QR code on your video and that was the first time I've ever used that function.

[@skipperdmudkipz]

Cool video as always and many thanks for the breakdown in the beginning! I was at first intimidated by the time between resets, but given the corruption method, I might just have to do this hunt myself one day!

[@LeafsLegend]

Congrats Steve! Such an incredibly cool and unique shiny, what a massive hunt to complete but well worth the reward. Well done man!

[@adrianajazi2478]

What amazes is how close the number of resets you needed -7693- is to the 7281 appearing in the likelihood of getting a shiny Jirachi ^^

I'd say you've truly become a Legendary Shinyhunter! Absolutely wish I could get this!!!

[@HANSIMUSMAXIMUS]

What a cool find! Really like these "educational" hunts/videos. Keep up the good work!

Exceptionnal !!! Congrats bro ! I finally got my Unknow shiny on Fire Red this week ^^ I have now 51 shinys ! (15 years quest lmao)

[@Overdragoon]

Congratulations!!! So much dedication. Jirachi is my favourite Pokémon and I managed to obtain my own shiny WISHMKR one back in 2020. I did use RNG manipulation but even with that it took me almost 2 months of “hunting” it. It’s one of the hardest shinies to obtain. I collected every possible ribbon on it and it’s currently sitting on my Ultra Sun game. Congrats again!!! I admire you for your patience and full odds hunts.

[@SamuraiWolf11]

Did the shiny transfer up thru Pokémon bank without any problems? Also is it possible to be transferred into Pokémon home? I Would really love to hunt this but I want to have all my shinnies together in Pokémon Home.

[@Overdragoon]

@@SamuraiWolf11 yup it went through pokebank and home no problem. I even cloned it in Emerald and have an untrained one in shield

Amazing shiny, I've been trying to do this hunt my self only around ~20rs. Now knowing that I have to save twice hopefully this goes alot faster.

[@christopherwalker9481]

Wow! Congrats! I started this hunt back in Winter 2020, but it has been on hold since then, as I've been working on and off of my Manaphy hunt. This definitely inspires me to go back and finish that hunt after I (hopefully soon🤞) find my shiny Manaphy!

[@Sonikks]

Best of luck mate!

[@Magnemite_]

man i can't believe i used to not like this shiny. i actually want to hunt this twice, once to keep in gen 3 and once to put in gen 4 because i adore jirachi's gen 4 sprite. unfortunately with how much hardware is needed that won't be for quite a while, but it's super cool to see the save corruption method getting more widespread attention.
