Shiny Safari Tauros CAUGHT in LeafGreen after 685 encounters! (251,167 total)

Күн бұрын

After 29 phases, 251,167 random encounters & a total of two Tauros found, I snagged the elusive Green Bull. This is a monumentally big leap forward in my quest for a Gen 3 Shiny Living Dex. 2 out of the 3 Safari Rares have been captured & I still can't believe while editing this video.
If you're curious at all about the bait method, please see this document by ProfessorRex who took his time to understand the Safari mechanics and collect his research;

Without this research, there is every opportunity that I would never have added this amazing shiny to my Gen 3 collection. Please support his Twitch here; / brofessorslab

Dude, im sorry, but you legitimately might be the best youtube shiny hunter. Your live video resume is unprecedented. Congrats, again, bro

@HelixChannel it's more of a figure of speech, but it also can be contentious to make such a statement. English not your first language? Sorry if it was confusing

I don't know if you know this, but this catch is FOYT. NOBODY has to date captured a Shiny Tauros from the FRLG Safari Zone and you were the first one to do it. Congratulations man, you deserve it.

I think there's someone who caught a shiny Tauros awhile back, but this is so impressive I personally struggled with catching the regular Tauros. In fact, I caught multiple Chanseys before a single Tauros

Yeah I’ve caught a shiny Tauros and shiny Chansey I caught the Tauros on my Chansey hunt currently hunting kanga to complete the safari trio

Was recording when I caught my shiny Chansey but don’t upload anywhere and I got my shiny Tauros in vc call with some friends but didn’t record sadly! But saw multiple shiny Chansey during my hunt and have multiple of the fleas and capture recorded just not Tauros sadly:(

Technically two; Scyther is another rare one, though I'm not sure if he got that one already.

@Sonikks 2 ай бұрын

@@Foxtrot12345 Scyther, Pinsir, Dratini (and by extension, Dragonair) are rare but they're not exclusive to the Safari Zone. The trio has always been a trio because of their exclusivity to the Safari Zone. If you want them in Gen 3, you have to hunt them there or egg hunt. Anything else just isn't the same and shouldn't be compared.

As always, I really admire your dedication to a hunt like this that most people wouldn't have the patience for. Looking forward to seeing the bigger compilations and, of course, the Kangaskhan once you snag that one!

Such an amazing shiny Sprite int hat game! The colors are so amazing! I love it! I also am a big fan of the new narrative style you've been doing the last few videos.

I was doing a shiny Chansey hunt in LeafGreen about 5 months ago, and encountered a shiny Tauros and caught it on my first ball and didn't realize that it was probably more rare than the Chansey I was going after considering the area I was hunting it was 4% Chansey and only 1% Tauros
