My hunt for a shiny female Combee… without Cute Charm.

[@CPUBLUE]

I got three phases into this hunt years ago and gave up. I couldn't take the bees anymore. Congrats on sticking it out :)

[@bebuwu4320]

this is your sign to take it up again >:)

[@Olig1]

Thanks man, appreciate it. I do hope to see that Larvitar showcase one day though.

[@biirdbots]

I'm 18 phases deep in a hunt right now, having a similar reaction where I get less and less excited each phase lol congrats!!

[@Olig1]

Haha yeah, by the time you hit your 8th duplicate shiny the novelty has really worn off. Thank you, best of luck with your hunt!!

[@caseyr803]

It is wild how much time went into this video. 200k encounters for 1 shiny and a 15 minute video? Immense.

[@LazzoHunter]

Dude thats crazy! How much bad luck you have to be. Respect for your patience and hearty congratulations!✨✨

[@Olig1]

Thank you! Honestly I’ve had some crazy phase luck over the years so it was bound to come back to bite me, though it was a little unfortunate it came on this hunt haha.

[@ronk475]

Truly a story that will reverberate through the ages in the shiny hunting community o7 Love the video and the reactions, great work dude!

[@Olig1]

Thanks so much dude! Looking forward to your video eventually!!

[@DaGrubb97]

I remember trying to SOS chain a shiny female Salandit in Moon before I knew about cute charm. I got 7 males before I was made aware. I can't imagine 18 at full odds jeez nice job. One of these days, I might be insane enough to do some of the hunts you do. Very well made and edited video as well

[@Olig1]

Thanks dude. Honestly they’re not nearly as impressive as they may seem, once you get in the swing of things you kinda get used to it and it becomes like any other hunt.

[@BroseidonLive]

Love the storytelling in this video! It was so cool to keep up with this hunt on Twitter! Huge congrats on finally finding a female Combee!

[@Olig1]

Thank you sir, I did appreciate all your comments along the way haha.

[@Maricodone]

That was insane!! Thank you for making this video and the storytelling was really nice as well. Congrats on your shiny!!

[@Olig1]

Thank you so much! Really appreciate the comment!

[@pagesmith5081]

“Shiny Combee” “Ugh shiny Combee” “Ok shiny Combee” “Cool” Lmfao

[@j-man6487]

You are legend Olig! I love watching your videos. I got lucky to find a shiny female Combee in Scarlet. I have never tried catching shinies outside of PLA because of the difficulty for me. That makes me respect shiny hunters so much more

[@Olig1]

Thanks man! I recommend it, it’s a lot easier than it looks especially when you doing it whilst watching TV shows/films.

[@berb-182]

Amazing journey! Congrats on finally finding your shiny Queen!

[@Olig1]

Thanks Berb!! And thank you for all the encouraging messages haha.

[@scroht]

Great video Olig! Love the slakoths :) Congrats on the female bee

[@Olig1]

Thanks man! Your Slakoth hunt certainly helped with inspiration along the way haha.

[@RelicAndre]

This was an awesome video! I’ve seen many start this hunt and never finish. Excited that you don’t have to do this anymore. Good luck with future targets :)

[@Olig1]

Thanks Relic, appreciate it!! Same to you, hope to see that Riolu soon.

[@Nautoum]

That, my dude, was an insane video. Really pleasing to watch with the storytelling! Major congrats on filling a whole hive worth of combees + part of the ecosystem around it and finally finding the queen!

[@Olig1]

Haha thanks man, really appreciate it :)

[@bebuwu4320]

incredible video, could really feel your pain as it went on

[@Olig1]

Haha good to hear, thank you :)

[@radiocaf]

Absolute congratulations on this hunt. I loved the story telling so we could truly understand the madness!

[@Olig1]

Thanks Radio, appreciate it!

[@LuckySparkles]

Man, what a journey! Huge congrats! This really was a true test of patience! ✨

[@Olig1]

Thanks Lucky :)

[@OliverMKP]

Amazing video man! Enjoyed every second of it. Congratulations on finally putting this hunt to an end! Also really cool you got the female shiny facing your shiny Manaphy. :)

[@Olig1]

Thanks Oliver!! Haha yeah, it was completely accidental but made for a nice picture. Sure I’ll be seeing the same picture from you very soon!

[@ShinyAlex01]

HUGE congrats again man! This video was so amazing to watch. Your dedication to this hunt was absolutely insane. I remember seeing all the male combees on my timeline and just thinking "just give it to him already". It's so cool to see you finally get this! 100% deserved :)

[@Olig1]

Thanks dude!! Honestly I kind of got into a routine after the 6th or 7th Bee so it wasn’t all that difficult to keep coming back to it lol.

[@QuinnCoulombe]

Amazing accomplishment as a shiny hunter and great editing on the video. Congrats!!

[@Olig1]

Thanks dude, appreciate it :)

[@Senpopss]

Amazing dedication to finish this hunt dude, massive congrats! Really enjoyed the video too, great editing and commentary man!

[@Olig1]

Thanks Sen, really pleased you liked it. The editing took far longer than it should have done haha.

[@jakehunts]

Such an awesome video!! Definitely an insane display of patience and a well deserved shiny! Big congrats!

[@Olig1]

Thanks man, appreciate it :)

[@MajesticPale]

Finally got another to watching your legendary combee video!! What a great video and I relate soo hard with the phasing in this video lmao. Congrats to finding the right gendered combee Olig!

[@Olig1]

Haha thanks Pale, appreciate it!!

[@JCBLPs]

Great great video! What a journey and congratulations on finally getting your target!

[@Olig1]

Thanks man, pleased you liked it!

[@tdm814]

Congrats 👍🌟

[@Olig1]

Thanks!

[@moe-chan8570]

I love this channel

[@MuhammadAhmad-fx8fc]

I got mad from getting a male combee in mass outbreak in legends. I can imagine your frustration here. Congrats my man

[@Olig1]

Thanks dude :)

[@BoopetteSH]

Major congrats :D !

[@Silvqr]

What a grind. GGs

[@EngineerfifeninerO]

A great vid!!!

[@dread12059]

I got one shiny male Combee in Legends: Arceus and one in Scarlet. Too bad they can't evolve.

[@baysam909]

mad lad

[@thecrookedman6782]

Hey Olig, I know this is an older video but I have a question about cute charm. You said the glitch can activate a 1/5 chance for a shiny or drop it to 1/24000… is there no in between? Like maybe is there a trainer ID and secret ID combo that causes neither of these to be in effect? I’m wondering because I’m planning on hunting using cute charm but I know I don’t have the glitch for increased odds. Is it a lost cause to have cute charm in the front of the party because it’ll be the 1/24000 odds? Is there a way to check if you have the 1/24000 odds or something different?

[@Olig1]

As far as I’m aware, there’s no in between. You’ll end up making your hunt significantly worse using cute charm in Gen 4.

[@cecillewolters1995]

But do you have a shiny Combee in a sports ball tho? :p

[@Toon.Hamstreak_658]

Why are you playing diamond instead of platinum??

[@bugquit1434]

I found one yesterday in pla and wasn't even looking👍

[@Olig1]

Delightful news for someone who cares.

[@ethansanders2297]

It’s only 2 years mate. But of a overreaction... congrats mate🙏
