[LIVE] Shiny Roaming Suicune after only 1,119 seen in Gold (+ Stadium 2)

[@Sonikks]

There's a lot to understand about Gen 2 Roamers so I tried to be detailed without overwhelming in the intro. If you want to know more, please check the description for links and resources.

I love it when you explain things about the hunt! One of the reasons why I instantly watch a new upload :D

[@bobbysanders8715]

For this Christmas can you give away free shines in S&H?

[@embargogamer2717]

Watching you shiny hunt all the Shiny Roamers is like watching Thanos collecting all of the Infinity Stones. I'm scared of what's going to happen when you complete this quest...

[@marshallhadsall5656]

The world will be balanced

[@ChrisHansenofTheHiddenLeaf]

Sonikks turns half of the universe into different colors

[@Sonikks]

Snap my fingers & make everyone have an overodds and underodds hunt. Perfectly balanced.

[@NuclearDarkvoid]

@@Sonikks Well whatever you did happened. Found shiny gen 4 darkrai in 74 srs But it took 7826 resets for Treecko... IN ORAS.

[@aporue5893]

ho-oh appears

[@TheSupremeRk9s]

you need to be stopped omg

[@M1AHL3AE]

he very much dose

[@jamesfidler1818]

He needs to give you his luck for registeel

[@ethandimos7134]

How many roamers does he have left like holy crap

[@tristan_sparks]

That’s such a clean shiny sprite

[@HangarOfRoam]

You're one of few that will ever find this - well done man, sweet hunt! G/S Suicune will always be underhunted. It's great to see all of that work changing the fate of these Pokemon. This video will only help to change that & raise the awareness of them.

[@Sonikks]

100% agreed, I don't see many people doing Suicune which is understandable to a degree. I hope so & I hope people take the time to check out the description for the work you and Rich put in. Thanks again dude.

[@kuatro_as]

I mean, it was fast, but Entei was a lightning, holy! You are getting lucky with the roamers, let's try to finish the year with better luck, gl!

[@ParrotDash]

Wow thats a quick one, gongrats!

[@MegustaClaus]

This is where all of SupremeRK9's luck is going to.

[@FrontierBrainJack]

Huge congratulations Steve, you are soooo lucky to be getting most of these roamers *well* under odds! Love the shiny coloration in this gen, Shiny Suicune really pops off in Stadium 2. Massive congrats!

[@nielvanderlinden6647]

sonikks i love you're video's. I just finished hunting suicune in bdsp after a year and this is one of the videos that kept me from not quiting so thanks

[@RavenGoingUp]

Such a great shiny! This is exactly how I felt when I got Latios. Just starting to fully understand the encountering method, then it decided to shine haha. Just setup my Raikou last night as well, can’t wait to hunt it here in gen 2! Congrats again dude🔥

[@Gen3Hunter]

Absolutley love this!! Loved how both raikou and entei appeared in the intro as well. Keep it up pal

[@kalicosu]

Congrats dude I love that you are doing this super difficult shinys

[@plsbshiny2533]

congrats steve!!! this shiny is one of the all time greats, especially that stadium model!!!

[@Sonikks]

It really is! Thank you Brayden!

[@KevinDFuller94]

I'm currently hunting shiny suicune in heart gold and this motivates me to keep going!! Congratulations!!!

[@PearlSunburst]

Waited for this video to be uploaded ! Major congrats on this beautiful beast :) It's such a fantastic shiny

[@Sonikks]

Thank you Sarah :) It really is, almost an Ice type!

[@NICK19ATTACK]

The crazy luck on these Gen 2 roamers, massive congrats Steve, what a shiny right there

[@MajesticPale]

That stadium 2 sprite looks crazy on Suicune and I don't think I've seen it before until now. Such a crazy find and insane luck coming from you Steve, congrats!

[@shinyhuntingnostalgia256]

This is such an inspiring hunt and capture my man! I just got my shiny Lugia on my original gold cartidge, and this definitely inspires me to try my first roamer hunt. Awesome to see this on Stadium 2 as well, love the content and keep up the great work.

[@dratiniboi7165]

congratulations on shiny suicune!! I love watching your roamer hunts because they really explain how to do it ^-^

[@Sonikks]

Glad you like them!

Your gen 2 shiny roomers were insanely quick! Big congrats!

[@dralien592]

One of, if not the best shiny roamer, well done on the hunt

[@scorcherfox029]

So beautiful!!😍 congrats man!!!

[@morgan4255]

Oh my gosh! Awesome, shiny Suicune is amazing :) Congrats!

[@Yellows]

I love how when you throw a Gen 2 Shiny into battle the screen goes black for a frame

[@naomiemorton5056]

I love your gen 2 hunts, and the watercolour suicune art is a nice addition, good job :)

[@aaronbarclay4655]

Who the heck put a dislike on this, why’d you watch it if you don’t like it, respect the greatest shiny hunter ever😤

[@ShinyAlex01]

Gen 2 Shiny Suicune looks SICK. Congrats man! Another roamer down! Honestly you're inspiring me to do a roamer hunt sometime lol.

[@Sonikks]

Go for it!

[@sesijanarjasis9917]

Tfw the man, the myth, the legend is playing while I run into a Shiny Kyurem less than thirty minutes after I started looking for it. Think this video has a lucky touch to it, congrats on the Suicune, it looks gorgeous in Gen 2!

[@Sminlek]

WOW this Looks Amazing in Gen 2 CONGRATS!!

[@Xander-cm5bg]

JESUS CHRIST!!! another under odds hunt. you're getting so lucky. congrats🎉

[@boltpanther5862]

I really enjoyed the intro; the crazy thing is that as a kid I wrote a "strategy guide" on some gaming forum about how I caught the roamers. Half of it was probably superstition and luck HOWEVER I distinctly remember swearing by the pokemarch and also the "go one route out and then travel in hoping it follows" method. Happy there was some truth in my madness! Also three in one go at the start :) excellent. Congratulations!!

[@Sonikks]

Thanks! Yeah that's awesome. I did something similar as a kid by using Route 37. I like that there's a lot more info out there now to solidify things we did as a kid. Be sure to check the documents/videos in the description for more information if you want to understand more :)

[@SolBlader17]

Congrats! You hit the Roamer Lottery in that introduction, all 3 showing up on the same route! How absolutely fitting! With 16 possible routes I guess that means you hit a Gen 6+ shiny (1/4096) excluding route blocking shenanigans I suppose! Absolutely beautiful shiny and can't wait to see more Gen2 in your future

[@newtonheyton4892]

Loved the Stadium 2 feature! Also those Gen 2 sparkles really are amazing. I've been on a shiny spree in gen iv with pokeradar chaining thanks to your old guide :) Keep up the great content!

[@hantake72]

I love that you do a showcase in Stadium 2

[@spaketticarbonada9651]

Gen 2 my childhood favourites. Crystal and Silver are the Pokémon games I spent the most time in ever.

[@kennynakawaki]

My favorite Pokémon and favorite shiny of all time. I don’t know what it is about Suicune, but I can’t. Absolutely beautiful. I remember when I was a kid playing this game, I’d spend like half an hour to an hour just looking for the legendary beasts. Congrats once again Sonikks! Also, “I need to buy a lottery ticket.” Yes you do Sonikks, yes you do 😂

[@shinyluly9225]

Congrats man ! You are mi favorite hunter ✨💪🏻

[@ModernBulbz]

Your videos are really charming, and really addicting to watch and I have no clue, but your videos at the very least made me wanna shiny hunt for Bulbasaur in Leaf Green and got it after 56 resets. So thank you for the nice videos and the unreal shiny luck.

[@Sonikks]

That's awesome, congrats!

[@palerecluse1578]

Awesome shiny! I also started hunting the Gen 2 roamers a while back. There was conflicting information about whether they're generated to be shiny when you initially awaken them in Burned Tower or when you first encounter them. I saved in Burned Tower out of paranoia, but it does make the hunt slower. I'm glad you cleared that up and I can hunt them much easier now. Good luck on your future hunts!

[@Roflchief_127]

Congratulations on the Suicune! Absolutely gorgeous! I'm currently hunting Shiny Celebi on Crystal VC; this gives me inspiration to hunt down Suicune next!

[@Sonikks]

GL!

[@PokeToT]

That's CRAZY...that you don't like Raikou's sprite! Congrats on a relatively quick and interesting hunt!

[@MysticTemplar07]

Omg and so quickly too! This hunt is not easy congrats my guy!

[@shad0w275]

Amazing shiny! I am still going for mine after nearly 7 months (9500+ encounters so far!)

[@ChicagoMel23]

Wow

[@tristan_sparks]

I cannot imagine.. I would say good luck, but at this point it wouldn’t do much 😅 hope you don’t have to hunt much longer!

[@HangarOfRoam]

Keep going man! You did most of that before the Rt.46 method even existed, you got this.

[@shad0w275]

@@HangarOfRoam thanks a lot to you Hangar, it will feel undeserved because you and rich did all of the hard work trying to find the best method and both of you absolutely smashed it

[@shad0w275]

@Ghosthunter_Richie thanks a lot rich, i hope you get your third gen 2 roamer. The impact your testing has had is pretty pivotal in the roamer hunting community. Thanks a lot, it is really appreciated

That’s sooo cool, sadly I’ve been droughting for like 2 months so hopefully you uploading brings the luck

[@Sonikks]

Good luck!

[@majinvipergaming]

So yesterday I was watching your shiny vids as since I've beaten heartgold I figured screw it why not try for a shiny mewtwo. My fave color is green. I just started my daughter who's 6 on Leafgreen so she's been learning. I told her today about shinies and I shit you not 7 soft resets on mewtwo and boom he popped up as a shiny. Caught with my fave pokeball (Duskball) and the rest was history. Best part is that it was my daughters birthday. Very dope day indeed. Keep up the awesome vids.

[@dodytheaussie7765]

I'm so jealous! I've just passed 48,000 resets for Shiny Suicune in Crystal and have been on and off hunting it for over a year and 9 months. Longest hunt by far and you've pulled off 2 super fast Gen 2 Roamers! Definitely buy that lottery ticket haha

[@Sonikks]

Good luck!

[@LeafsLegend]

Amazing luck and shiny omg... Congrats!!

Me too, one of my favourites for that reason.

It’s so pretty, congrats Steve

[@RCCPLL7]

Here it is, Suicune! *Raikou appears ... Here it is, Suicune! *Entei appears Honestly that was super funny and incredibly surprising

[@SleepyTaylor]

This is an interesting new method. I’m assuming the zone blocking makes it a very low odds for the Pokémon to actually go to that area? I’m definitely going to check out the info in the description for more insight. Major congrats on shiny Suicune, such a beauty. I understand the struggle of finding a better method than you were using, and then the hunt ends super quick. Edit. Dang I’ve never seen shiny Suicine in stadium, that looks flippin awesome!

[@Sonikks]

Essentially yes. It's super interesting. It's a very enjoyable hunt and 100% recommend it. It becomes a game of "How many can you do an hour". Thanks dude :)

[@thekoolkrab3226]

@@tobeymaguire4958 oh my bad, good to know tho

[@embargogamer2717]

@@zekromtrainer1222 That's why they're not really roamers. There isn't a live video of them where people have listed them as Roamers. Elcorrea, YourFriedBread, 33SceptileMan and Sonikks. They're not roamers during shiny hunting competitions either. It's just a standard reset hunt. I think Sonikks called them psuedo-Roamers at best.

[@Sonikks]

Thanks! I don't think it's right to consider the Gen 5 Genies as roamers as EmbargoGamer said. I'd recommend Entei/Raikou in HG/SS or the Birds in the Platinum.

[@samspeaks2016]

Hi, love your videos. Watch them in the background while I shiny hunt myself. Question for you though, when you catch multiple shiny Pokémon of the same species (say this Suicune and the one you caught in gen 3 with the crap IV’s) do you have one you’d consider your definitive Pokémon? Personally I go for the ‘mons out of my preferred regions game as apposed to generation. So for example Kanto Pokémon out of FireRed/LeafGreen as apposed to Red/Blue simply out of preference and would hunt there for Kanto Pokémon.

[@Sonikks]

Thanks, good luck! I like to think of them as individual. I don't transfer my shinies nor do I really battle with Legendaries. They're most for video making purposes or collecting.

[@weedgoblin561]

Notification gang wya. Also amazing hunt, the dog trio has the best shinies imo!

[@shockwavesyndrome6433]

i forgot that the beasts didn't get their own theme until crystal. i was surprised to hear generic battle music when raikou appeared lol.

Hey dude I really love your videos and would u ever consider doing a full shiny let’s play on your channel? Because I think it would be amazing in my opinion but anyways really good videos
