Shiny Regice in Emerald after 9,772 Run Aways! ✨

2nd member of the Regi trio, onto Registeel next.

(131/389 - Gen 3 Shiny Living Dex)

Random Shiny Minccino!!!

Level grinding against Audino, repel wore off, turned on the tile, boom, shiny! My first Gen 5 random!!

Shiny Regirock in Emerald after 2,248 Run Aways! ✨

First member of the Regi trio, onto Regice next.

Shiny Silcoon in Petalburg Woods after 1,992 ✨

Decided to do an extra phase after getting Slakoth.

It's not a new entry to my Gen 3 living dex as I had a Wurmple evolve into Silcoon from a few years ago (but reset). Still super happy to find this as a wild Silcoon!

Shiny 5% Slakoth on only the 2nd phase!!! ✨

Genuinely can't believe it. Huge target obtained. Will return to Petalburg Woods in the future for another and then egg hunt the 3rd.

2 in 1 day! Shiny Teddiursa after 4,416 random encounters in Emerald's Safari Zone! ✨

Caught after 6 balls. My 5th one of these and fully expected to get at least one as it's 50% with this repel trick. Don't need it as I have the line completed but still cute!

Shiny Houndour after 21,764 random encounters in Emerald's Safari Zone! ✨

My target appearing on phase 1 but it sadly fled. I was doing a level 36 repel to make it 25% with Miltank and Teddiursa. It's the last shiny I need from this area so hopefully won't take too long!

Shiny Azurill after 4,032 hatched in Sapphire! ✨

My 4th egg exclusive shiny in Gen 3 and this makes a 3rd of the Hoenn dex completed in Gen 3. Progress is being made.

Shiny Shieldon in Black after ONLY 1,036 fossils restored ✨

6th shiny in a row underodds on this file. The entire quest underodds. 18,798 total for all 6 with an average of 3133 per shiny. Unreal...

Really excited to playthrough with a full Shiny Fossil team!

Shiny Cranidos in Black after 3,166 fossils restored ✨

5th shiny in a row underodds on this file. Definitely ending the year with some good luck after a rough start to 2025. Hopefully Shieldon is just as kind!

5th member of my Black Shiny Fossil run!

Shiny Lileep in Black after 6,211 fossils restored ✨

4th shiny in a row underodds on this file, truly blessed. One of my favourite Pokemon & shinies, so vibrant in Gen 5!

4th member of my Black Shiny Fossil run!

Shiny Aerodactyl in Black after 4,223 fossils restored ✨

3rd shiny in a row underodds on this file, very welcome after a difficult year. Really enjoying this quest. Amazing shiny!

3rd member of my Black Shiny Fossil run!

Shiny Omanyte in Black after 1,481 fossils restored ✨

Started this yesterday and it shined already. Finally a bit of luck this year. Super happy with this, starting Aerodactyl immediately.

2nd member of my Black Shiny Fossil run!

Shiny Kabuto in Black after 2,681 fossils restored ✨

Haven't had the most of time to hunt recently but picked this up & got it after only 3 resets this evening. Timid and female too, crazy. Fossils traded in from a completed White 2.

1st member of my Black Shiny Fossil run!

Shiny Roaming Cresselia after 235 resets in Brilliant Diamond ✨

Picked this up again recently & was rewarded. Super pretty shiny. I now have every shiny roaming Pokemon across the series. Probably my last ever Switch hunt.

Shiny Magby after 2,908 hatched in Sapphire! ✨

My 3rd egg exclusive shiny in Gen 3 & first hatch in Sapphire. I'd only just finished hatching these in Emerald, only 7 eggs hatched in Sapphire.

(125/389 - Gen 3 Shiny Living Dex)

Well they're pre-walked & then traded game to game via box so not very long at all.

Shiny Lileep after 20,316 hatched in Ruby! ✨

One of my favourite Pokemon, S Tier shiny imo but made to work for both of them in Gen 3, the soft reset Lileep took 34,722.

Might move onto some Fishing hunts now, haven't decided yet.

(124/389 - Gen 3 Shiny Living Dex)

Shiny 5% Pineco after 12,125 encounters in the Safari Zone! ✨

Caught second ball! Both of my main 2025 targets in 5% Pineco and Hoothoot caught in the past month.

Another huge step forward for my Gen 3 living dex, no Safari grass rares left

(123/389 - Gen 3 Shiny Living Dex)

Jumped back into the Safari Zone and found a swift Shiny Teddiursa after 420 encounters! ✨

He sadly fled but I have the line completed and I'm sure I'll find more of these hunting down the 5% Pineco. 2 in 1 with Magmar, some decent luck at last.

Shiny Magmar after an insane 77,700 encounters! My new longest hunt✨

#4 for my Fire Monotype Challenge through Silver. It finally appeared after a 133,884 total encounters & 3 Koffings. Such a good shiny but definitely one of, if not the toughest hunts mentally I've ever done.

Shiny Teddiursa #2 is my 4th for #SafariWeek2025

Fled after 2 balls. Not too bothered as I have the line completed.

That'll probably be my last one for this year though I'll be returning to Hoenn Safari after a break for that 5% Pineco!

@ Full Odds hunters. I've put together a little server to run some experiments with Gen 2 RNG. We need some willing participants to do some hunts across 2-4 systems on either Gen 2 physical or 3DS VC.

Let me know if you're interested, or tag someone who might be.

Shiny 5% Hoothoot after 6,580 encounters! ✨

Caught it first ball! One of my main targets this year alongside Pineco.

An incredibly rare shiny in Gen 3 as it's a 5% Safari target or eggs. Huge step forward for my Gen 3 living dex!

(122/389 - Gen 3 Shiny Living Dex)

Shiny Teddiursa after 10,860 random encounters! ✨

Caught it first ball so that's the line now completed. My secondary target behind Pineco & Hoothoot this year. #2 for #SafariWeek2025

(121/389 - Gen 3 Shiny Living Dex)

Shiny Farfetch'd after 16,214 hatched in Ruby! ✨

Took a long break from this, picked it up recently again & it shined after just over 1,000 more eggs. One of my favourite Pokemon, and my 2nd Gen 3 egg exclusive shiny. So glad this is done!

(120/389 - Gen 3 Shiny Living Dex)

Shiny Cleffa after only 1,172 hatched in Emerald ✨

My first egg exclusive shiny in Gen 3, took me by complete surprise. Gave it the egg move Present & will obviously stay as a Cleffa. Super cute sprite, love the German name Pii too.

(119/389 - Gen 3 Shiny Living Dex)

Shiny Cyndaquil after 66,512 soft resets in Emerald via Battle Video method ✨

An insane collective drought of 121,891 without a shiny across three games. This completes the trio in Gen 3!

Chikorita -3,663
Totodile - 5,209
Cyndaquil - 66,512

(118/389 - Gen 3 Shiny Living Dex)

Little hunt update.

60,000 - Cyndaquil (Emerald)
67,900 - Magmar (Silver) - Phase 4
7,230 - Yanma (Colosseum)

Two 60,000 hunts, not back to back but side by side. Unprecedented at this point tbh...

Just hit 80,000 seen collectively across 3 separate hunts since my last shiny. What a start to 2025!

Do I hit 100,000? 😱
