Hi

[@Baileyyyyu]

Haven’t been into Pokémon in awhile but glad to see you’re still doing this and your motivation never seems to go down :) congrats on the Relicanth it’s one of my favorites

[@shinycollector]

Congrats Steve! I bet it’s so relieving to have gotten this first phase and be able to drop the RT! It looks so interesting in Colo too, not what I would’ve imagined! Good luck on Clampearl!

[@rahcaz3689]

it appears as though you Reli-Can finish this Quest!

[@carltonleboss]

I reli-can't with these puns

[@Marc-kc3nz]

Dude. Stop.

[@TrunkaMonk]

@@Marc-kc3nz you reli-cant like the creativity?

[@jabo8191]

This is so cool! Congrats Steve, top tier shiny for sure. Got my Ralts in Sapphire earlier this week on the third phase! Third member of my dtq. I never would have done that hunt without your own Ralts video.

[@radiocaf]

One of the best shinies in Gen 3, huge congrats Steve. I completely missed it live, as always! Getting it first phase is just awesome luck too!

[@tidq]

Relicanth is my most underappreciated Pokémon of all time. Love that you got this! I think shiny reli looks like a world map, and he’s a dream shiny for me in 3rd gen! Congrats on phase 1! That’s incredible!

[@superkonijn988]

Who needs a town map when you can just pull out your shiny relicanth

[@NICK19ATTACK]

Clamperl will be a piece of cake to get now, congrats on almost already completing this monotype challenge! Lovely video as per usual ^_^

[@rocko510]

Congrats! Awesome you got that first phase, those encounters were brutal

[@ShinyAlex01]

Huge congrats! Really awesome you got it 1st phase! I'm honestly with you that this shiny is one of the best, i've always found relicanth to be very interesting as a pokemon and it's shiny really lives up to it! :)

[@UltimateBlobrex]

Congrats on shiny Relicanth, it really is a great shiny. I like how the blue makes the map on its back look like water around the islands on it.

[@emilioreyes142]

Man I love how you still hunt full odds. I’m always excited to see what you got next.

[@owengrabell3408]

This really inspires me to do this hunt one day too! Congratulations man! Such a sick shiny✨✨✨

[@blackdeadthedarkside]

this is one of the shinies i rarely see anyone hunting but it looks soooo gooood

[@thatsprettyfarfetchd9888]

Look at that fossilized fish, congrats on the great shiny and being on the cusp of finishing yet another one of your Dream Team Quests!

[@Overdragoon]

Grats on the shiny old fish. One of the coolest looking shinies for sure. I like how you said to do another hunt on the side with a repel trick like this, to take your mind off of it. And I agree with you, doing something else while shiny hunting makes it a lot better. I have shiny hunted almost every legendary in ultra sun and moon while watching Netflix and it felt very easy! Congrats again

[@michaelmalachite4404]

So thankful to see you get my fav hoenn shiny live buddy, congrats I'll see you in the shiny relicanth club soon I'm sure 👍

[@JermTheSigma]

You lucky lucky man! Congratulations!✨

[@n0lain]

Major congrats on this shiny! I know firsthand how painful this repel trick can be and you knocked it out of the water, no pun intended :-) I've been triple hunting phase 4 since November of last year (my first phase with the repel trick), saw you started single hunting it on stream, and was blown away by how quickly you passed me up! I just hit 3,700 but I was around 3,000 when you got the shiny the other day. Anyways super glad you got this so quickly, congrats again

[@EngineerfifeninerO]

I’m Reli- happy for you!!! Reli- overexcited for the hall of fame run!!!

[@OrbitalBlitz]

Slowly but surely we manage to get there :) Congrats in getting this rare species 1st phase, such a clean and magnificent shiny with that crystal blue colour. Also, that Smeargle being a drama queen, guess you need to replace her with a mon that doesn't require much high maintenance haha

[@Reinn_Fall]

Glad this was thing that ended your drought! Such a great shiny! Best of luck on the clamperl :)

[@BroseidonLive]

Such an awesome shiny Steve, grats! Just Clamperl to go, hope you get it first phase!!!

[@Ninjacat429]

Wow that’s so cool you got shiny relicanth, amazing!

[@tapuchris3329]

Congratulations! I'm going to shiny hunt Relicanth in Ruby now.

[@spampharos]

Congrats on the shiny! Ever since the first time I saw it, I always wanted to hunt shiny Relicanth in Gen 3. The way the blue on it makes it look like Relicanth is a living map is absolutely amazing design. Now that I finally have a copy of Ruby, a DS Lite, and started my SBQ, I can finally hunt this as one of my targets. But that's a good while away, as for now I am currently on the hunt for my second member, Ralts. Wish me luck!

[@thatsprettyfarfetchd9888]

Just checked out your channel and saw your Shiny Treecko video. Keep up the great work!

[@Upzet_]

Back at it again with the fire shinies! Congrats!

[@Jsquared3]

SWEET! I plan on hunting for Relicanth myself. Super glad to see it’s not as difficult as it seems.

[@DisturbedGear]

Amazing shiny and was awesome to see on the stream - congrats again man 🤘✨️

[@perfect_tempo8853]

Love that light blue color, one of my favs. Congrats!

[@SerFondue]

Dude this is NUTS!!! Nice!!! I’ve been hunting clamperl for 2 months!!! 3,180 encounters for me!

[@sh1nyh0nt3r]

Shiny Relicanth has such a good shiny and I don’t see people hunting it too often. Fast one aswell

[@MarkStockley]

Top tier Shiny. Grats on the find!

[@thepeople7030]

Relicant is such a cool pokemon and im glad that you got it this fast. Hope you will find clamperl without any chinchou (not that's a bad shiny or anything)

[@shynihunterpt]

Congrats Steve!! Insane phase 1!!

[@Shine69yt]

Now Relicanths Colosseum icon looks more like the catfish you caught.

[@riverturtle2855]

Talking about Subs I been watching since whiscash and I thought I was subbed but I am ☝🏽now sweet team so far and nice real catch with the catfish 🤘🏽🤙🏽

[@ShinyHunterGojia]

Congrats Steve so awesome you got it first phase.

[@Vyrodask]

Congrats on catching Joel, Steve! It's a great shiny.

[@I-Am-Nemo-i-was-lost-help]

He was finally back I wait so much for you bro .

[@PookieWitaDooky]

Here in celebration of the hoenn tour in Pokémon go! Shiny relicanth is about to debut. Fingers crossed that I get it

[@jsans3]

I can't tell which one is more impressive, the shiny or the catfish!

[@lazychill3112]

Congrats man...great shiny

[@evanpeterson8634]

Now that’s one sexy fish 🎣

[@sugarplumvodka8408]

Love the repel trick I got mine after about 14 repels

[@TVCMASTER1]

makes up for all the phases over 1 you been through lol

[@toualee1430]

Sheesh. Congratulations

[@brucelau2023]

looks like you can "RELI-CAN" finish this quest

[@timpike8559]

Nice shiny bro I love it!!!

[@mattismo]

Pretty fish

[@tema7507]

Looks awesome

[@surajsood1258]

looks so good

[@LughSamildanach]

Would it not be faster to do a level 30 repel trick instead of 31? That increases the base encounter rate to 18.18% from 8.33%, but lowers the Relicanth odds from 50% to 27.5%, which would still be faster, I think.

[@Sonikks]

Nah not really. It's not even that slow. Average of 2 phases vs average of 4? I know what I'd take every time.

[@aladinocave6599]

Congrats

fish moment

[@CompactYolo69]

Hey! Ive been SRing for a shiny starter on my Jpn copy of sapphire ive changed the battery and restarted the game to reset the RTC, but I havent gotten either a shiny starter or shiny pooch after 9000 SRs i know it can be very bad luck but i kinda feel like it isnt should i continue the hunt?

[@Sonikks]

First of all, yes you should continue. If you stop now, you've literally wasted your time. Secondly and to be blunt, 9,000 SRs isn't a long hunt dude. You've seen 9,000 starters and the odds are 1/8192. You have a 63% chance to get a shiny at exactly 8192 SRs and you're a little over that. If you go on to do more full odds hunts in the future, I can guarantee that you will hit higher numbers than that. Look at my channel as an example. I have countless hunts that have far exceeded 9,000 for a shiny. Shiny hunting is a guaranteed outcome, it's just a matter of you putting in the resets to find it. You will find it, you just have to keep going. Make shiny hunting the background task. Watch Netflix, streams, KZbin etc as you hunt. Try and set a goal of maybe 500 SRs a day or something to stay consistent. Some shinies will be underodds, some will be over. Good luck, don't stop.

[@CompactYolo69]

@@Sonikks My motivation has reached over 9000 thanks man

[@BlackKraya]

It really is gorgeous. Congrats again!

[@Deliborb]

are all your hunts on console? if so how do you record the screen so well?

Nice!

[@achille_sh4553]

GG dude 😃

[@dario7530]

Does anyone have shiny hunting discords? Especially for older games?

[@benvandevelden3499]

Silly question because I plan on doing this hunt soon. Did you just assign max repels to your select button and just go until you run out of your stock of repels and reset the game?

[@Sonikks]

You can't do that in Gen 3. You just go into the bag and apply another once your current one wears off.

[@benvandevelden3499]

@Sonikks I can't believe I didn't know that with how much I've played gen 3 lol. Thanks man! Looking forward to trying this one out after I finish my current hunt

[@benvandevelden3499]

Last question on this now that I have it set up. Does your lanturn have illuminate? Illuminate and white flute done stack if I'm correct, in which case is illuminate just better, or white flute? Thanks, man!

[@Sonikks]

@@benvandevelden3499 they do stack. Not sure why people say otherwise. Use both.

[@benvandevelden3499]

@Sonikks I have been, and I was skeptical. Thanks for the confirmation!

[@sugarplumvodka8408]

I find in sapphire I get a lot more shiny encounters than in emerald or ruby.
