Loved this compilation! I can't believe that another Pooch was brave enough to show up before Torchic after that "GET OUT OF HERE" on the final Pooch before Mudkip

You inspired me to start hunting in gen 4 and 5! I finally got my shiny Platinum Giratina and Darkrai! Grats!

Right now working on my first ever Ruby DTQ and currently at 2728 SR for Torchic with one Gameboy. Its a little awkward since I don’t have a capture card so I got my photography camera pointed straight at my Gameboy but hopefully that adds some charm lol. It’s the longest hunt I’ve ever done, I’m wishing for a quick hunt but we’ll see. Seeing videos like this is always motivating so thank you! Wishing everyone the best of shiny luck 🍀

I started a DTQ on dec 14 and yesterday I hit my first shiny pooch at 3319 resets and I though it was the funniest thing because I was more worried that I was going to get into the 10k resets before I would see anything shine! congrats on your 3 starters and can't wait to see what you get in 2023!

You are a big inspiration for me as a full odds hunter! Currently trying to get Giratina in platinum :)

You always motivate me to continue on with the hunt whenever I run out of patience! Congrats on the starters!

I love the compilation type vids, its great content for shiny hunters, chill vibe while we hunt on our end!

The best shiny starter trio imo. ✨️ awesome work Steve.

what a neat video! my favorite hunt to do in gen 3 I think seeing them thrown into battle is so exciting. currently on my 7th poochyena haven't touched my gen 3 games since the 7th one due to lacking any motivation from continuing lmao I think I even had the record for most in a single hunt, though thankfully all pooches were under odds

The gen 3 shiny starters are amazing! Gen 3 is my favorite gen, as it was the first gen I played all by my self! GGs on the trio!

3:28 the first time im happy to see a pooch in a hoenn starter video lol, congrats on the trio!!

Definitely love the longer, grouped shiny video format! :)

The most fun starters to hunt for sure!!!! Congrats Steve!!

i just got a full odds tepig while watching this. It came after 644 resets and is impish. also congrats on such a cool starter trio!

congrats on the Hoenn starters Steve! What a great trio of shinies and shiny evolution lines! I really liked this compilation style of video like you said very akin to Dallas which is cool. looking forward to that quarter pokedex completion video, that sounds great

Love to see this!! I've recently decided to make a 3rd gen shiny dex a long term goal of mine too so I look forward to seeing your shinies down the road to keep me motivated!

Cool story of mine, my first ever shiny (besides gyrados) was my original starter in my first play through of Ruby as a kid

I always love seeing the hunts for starters in these games. I bred for all of them in Sword and Shield, but I'm planning on SRing for them in the original Ruby/Sapphire myself in the future. Treecko is definitely my favorite starter and shiny of the three, too. Congrats! Good luck on your Living Dex, as well. :)

Great video. I would love to see more of these longer kinds of videos

I love all of your videos. They are well done, well put together and really inspiring to do the hunts you do. I'm always in awe at your results and effort.

Congrats on the second batch of Shiny Starters, Sonikks! I think putting your Gen 3 Shiny Living Dex in parts would be pretty cool, personally. I was thinking, since you said you're close to being 25% done in your progress and you mentioned things in like a Part 1-4 kinda format, maybe it'd be cool to do the overall compliations in 4 parts, as you progress from 25% complete, to 50%, and then on. It's really up to you and depends on you wanna go about compiling everything, but that's just a potential idea I got based on what you said in this video. Either way, good luck with your hunts going forward! And happy new year! ^w^ Looking forward to the videos you give us in 2023~

Congrats on the shinies! They look great in those games and whenever I get my hands on a copy of ruby or sapphire I definitely wanna take that hunt on

Imagine being a kid in 2003 and just getting a shiny starter on a 1st encounter. I would have thought my game had a problem since it looked different from the game box and marketing materials 😅

congrats on getting the trio again!! i could never survive the army of pooches haha good luck on all of your hunts this year!!!

Congrats on the shinies! Looking forward to seeing how you figure out how to get 3 or more pooches while egg hunting your 3rd Mudkip!

very enjoyable video, thank you for all you do sonikks. hope you have a great 2023

0:16 I've found 6 uncatchable poochyena and I typically use status moves until it flees

15:01 Steve: "Hopefully Torchic is a little bit kinder" Me: Looks at the video length Me: ... Edit: okay good I was worried for no reason xD

I’ve been hunting Eevee on my Fire Red at full odds, been 3 weeks and 2 days so far and I’ve just passed 7k SR’s… I know the hard work and dedication put into shiny hunting so GG my guy good vid!

I was actually recently thinking about getting a copy of Japanese sapphire just to hunt a starter probably mudkip but this vid confirms I’m doing it I don’t have money to currently but as soon as I do I’m starting my mudkip hunt. Congrats on all ur second round of hoenn starters mush love and keep up the great content🍄🖤☮️

I have been enjoying all the content for a while now, and I finally got a system to play gen 3 games on over the holiday! A few hours after watching this video, I hit my first full odds shiny in gen 3, treecko, well under odds I think!

Hello Sonikks :) What an amazing video, as always. I always enjoy your live streams too. Personally, I specialize more in Gen 1-2 Shiny Hunts. I am new to Gen 3 stuff, and I am curious, and I just have one question for you. How did you get all 3 Shiny Starters, onto the same Save File? I am genuinely curious. I am a total noob when it comes to Gen 3, sorry for my ignorance, but I would love to know. Other then that, thankyou, and have a lovely day.

For some reason I like very much Hoen's starters. Especially their shiny version

i was watching this and literally found my shiny chicken at the same time you did, thanks for the luck dude !

Oh!My!God!!! Lola (I hope that's how you write it) is absolutely adorable 🥰🥰 Also cool video to have all 3 starters in one video with the usual talking about every single shiny. Here is to a great 2023 Steve

I decided to search for a video of someone hunting a gen 3 starter to kind of re-energize me after a long hunt for a treecko, and without exaggeration, 40 seconds into this video he finally showed up. Thanks for the pick me up I guess! XD

I cant wait for you actually hunting Pooch for the living dex 💀

Ty for giving me something to watch rn while I double-hunt shiny Mew in Emerald

Got Emerald for Christmas & gonna do soft reset for shiny starter too xD only thing is my DS is old and it dont soft reset with the 4 buttons needed so have to turn DS on & off with power button instead.

Take my sub. I love this sort of dedication to Pokémon. That shiny treecko is gorgeous. Hopefully your shiny luck has been better lately 😂

Hello Sonikks. How did you get all 3 Shiny Starters all on the one save file? Did you use the Gen 3 bank on the Nintendo Gamecube, Pokemn BOX? Please let me know, I am very curious. Your living Dex is amazing so far. Keep up the good stuff. Have a lovely day :)

Watching this as I double hunt for starters congrats man !

Cool video 👍🏻 I had obtained a random shiny Torchic on Ruby as a kid, now you've made me want go hunt it again ahah

Given how rare it is in general, has there ever been a recorded find of both a shiny pooch and a shiny starter at the same time??

Hi, I apologize if you've done this before but I'm sure you have lots and lots of Pokemon Games and Consoles and I would love to see a sort of "set up tour" just showing off all your games and everything. I'm also very confident I'm not the only one who would like to see this sort of thing :)

found ur content recently and it is great to watch while hunting myself !

The goat! You’re really making me want to make a Gen 5 living dex…

I remember finally getting my shiny Mudkip to start off my shiny only Omega Ruby playthrough. Fun times

all power to you for your living dex hunt!! Do you have some sort of checklist for your shinies? I'd love to watch your progress

Love them. The shiny starter trio....and Pooch.

watching this while deciding whether or not to hunt mudkip in emerald. honestly, i just might after seeing this!

Congratulations on getting all of them! Sadly,I can’t hunt in the original gen 3 games,but in omega ruby i hunted shiny Torchic

I decided this year I'm gonna shoot for a hisuian living dex shiny let's go.

Congrats on the Hoenn stater trio! I've seen five pooches and it sucks. I'm curious, did you buy a new Ruby/Saphhire or replace batteries? I'm torn between those two options myself atm. Thanks, love your vids!

Congratulations to the entire trio! Today i got Torchic after only 19 soft reset.(I uploaded the video on youtube)

Lola had a big effect I feel it 😂

You do still have the family of 3 maushold and 3 segment dudunsparce to go for if you’re looking for another more difficult one! I know how draining this gets but I’m glad this hunt brought out the spark again

Thanks to you I started to hunt full odds in gen 2, gen 4 and (today I got my Sapphire with a new battery) just an hour ago I started soft resetting for my shiny Hoenn starter too!

Love these sort of comp videos!

As far as I'm aware if you hit a shiny Pooch there's no way your starter will be shiny as only one of the two can be determined as shiny. Also in case anyone needs salt rubbed in the wound, hitting a shiny Pooch means you were just a handful of frames away from a shiny starter, which means every shiny Pooch you get would've a shiny starter a few frames later :)

My Ruby version battery is dry, if I replace the battery do soft resets work? or would I need to do the berry glitch fix? If anyone knows your input is greatly appreciated.

I did this for Shiny Treeko on Ruby half a year ago. I got lucky and never came across an uncatchable poochyena. The treeko was also modest nature :D I was so happy since I care about natures. That ruby run accidentally became a 5 shiny run. I got a random shiny spinda and while searching for a shiny Zangoose, got 2 Seedots and a Swablu. The Swablu one in particular was about 30,100 encounters, on a single game, so I haven't had any desire to shiny hunt for about 4 months now as this was 167 hours or 7 days not including sleep. I think the number 30,100 or 30,000 will always have significant value to me after this. My first shiny hunt ever was Regice on Emerald... I tried on and off for 10 years before I decided to look up why it's not happening. Darn broken RNG. Now, I RNG abuse as revenge >.>

Hey sonikks! I'm hunting ghastly in sprout tower in soul silver. I was curious, if you do a few hours of hunting do you save and turn your game off? Or do just turn your game off and start from your save point from when you start the hunt? Or does it matter? Love your channel!

Oh man, so many poochs!! Congrats, though!

Great challenge, congrats!

I'd love to see a big compilation!!

you are one dedicated shiny hunter lol congrats.

I feel your pain on an insane scale; I went for the shiny chimchar in bdsp and holy what a hunt that was. I have 3 switches so it wasn’t as bad but I went to a total of 9996 chimchars seen with a total of 5 shiny starlys in that time and finally got it 😅

I enjoy the video really amazing the editing wish you luck with Shiny Farfetch Breeding Eggs!!

ooh you can do that😶, now i know how to get that shine pokemon...new knowledge for me, thank you

Hi my man, i want to start to shiny hunt in Ruby, and i was wondering... does a dry internal battery influence in any way shape or form the hunt? I'm searching a little all over the place on internet but i do not seem to get a clear answer on that, if you know something about it it would be great if you could tell me about it, love your videos and take care

2023 honorable mention shiny uncatchable poch

watching this abit late because i like to watch shiny videos when hunting my self lol. onwards to my romar raikou or entei lol

what are you using to keep track of your living dex? the little snippet at the start looked clean

All the more tragic since Poochyena is such a great shiny

Congrats on all the pooches man!🎉 lol

I finally got my shiny Treecko a few days ago after 13k seen over the span of almost a year! I'm going for Mudkip next!

Lol I did all 3 not too long ago, got 2 pooches before any starter then a third pooch after my first starter. But because of that I think the shiny gods felt bad and gave me my third starter one day after my second. Ps. puppy!!!!!!!! That’s one cute ass dog.

He captured the hunt! The downfall of shiny hunting (pooch)!! The process of catching them all has begun!

Congrats! You're one of the many reasons i like shiny hunting so much! 437!

Anyone know what website / program he was using at 0:22 to track his full living dex?

Congrats on the Hoenn starters. Just got a shiny Gastly in Shining Pearl and have moved to Masuda Method for shiny Azurill.

you seem to have a lot of patience! I think I'd give up at 20K resets

Great watch, my friend! I'll be awaiting your downfall with love

Just got a shiny totodile in Pokemon silver! Happy hunting

I can still remember how one day I decided to shiny hunt a torchic on pokemon ruby, I was having fun until a damn shiny poochyena appeared, I got so mad bro I didn't even try to keep going I should try to shiny hunt a shiny treecko on pokemon saphire lol edit: btw, when I watch your shiny hunt videos I feel a bit more determinied to keep going on with my own lil shiny hunts :)

I'm currently on phase 3 for shiny chikorita. Almost 5000 eggs with masuda method in heart gold and two shiny cyndaquill a day apart with soft resetting. I kid you not. This chikorita hates me...

Congrats on your shinies! A Christmas shiny is very nice, but can it beat mine? After months of hunting I finally encountered a shiny Shaymin, on my birthday in 2021. I think that secretly was the best birthday present that day XD

Does Poochyena have better odds of showing up shiny compared to the starters, or was it just bad luck?

i did a shiny mudkip hunt and surprisingly found it quickly in 1000 trys (around) and no shiny poochies which is lucky lol

currently hunting this trio! 11,000 SR in and 5 shiny Poochyenas so far 😂

I think you need to do some controlled hunts soon

Dude seeing this gives me back hope for my snivy being shiny , currently at 10k sr

I was soft reseting just for the nature and got a shiny mudkip, my first ever shiny in the 3th generation without even hunting it lol

I once got shiny stromish in the forest 🤣🤣

Happy New year buddy, hope you doing well 🇩🇪😉

Lmao u always have the best id numbers I bet getting them takes longer than some shiny hunts

youtube recommending this to me after i got my first shiny which was torchic on my sapphire🥰🥰🥰 only 180 resets after switching 720 attempts into emerald (luckily didint get a shiny zigzagoon)

Are they in seperate saves on seperate games or do u reset your game after getting 1
