I saw two shiny Chansey this safari week, my second and third one overall. I tried using the bait strat. on the first one but it fled first turn. When I saw the second Chansey, I was frustrated with the prior one and just threw a ball first turn, and caught it! I’ve no doubt you’ll catch the next Chansey followed by the next Safari rare you find. Good luck on all the hunts! 💫
Hey Mike, I'm really enjoying your videos, watched nearly all of them by now :) I used to be a shiny hunter back in the days, too (2010-2012), and watching your videos sparked my shiny hunting itch again :D Already got 4 1/8192 again :) I hope you are still hunting today since I really like the way you edit your videos and also your voice :D It's soothing, lol. Would love to see a new video soon, best of luck in all your hunts!
my safari week was surreal, a shiny starly in brilliant diamond, then an oddish fail (it was my fault too, i ran away) and a reclaim of the oddish at the last second on the last day of the week… wild
That was a tough video to watch, I believe your next Chansey you find in the safari zone will be the one that catches! It would be an insane milestone too if somehow this hunt goes to 1 million encounters but hopefully you'll get it way before, Best of luck Mike on your other hunts!
found your account and love your videos, my favourite gen is gen 3 as well and i love shiny hunting in it because the sprites look so good. keep it up!
This year I finally got an encounter in the Great Marsh, a Skorupi, that ran after one ball. Even though its a little disappointing, I can finally say I failed a shiny during Safari Week. Here's to better luck next year!
That's certainly terrible, though your numbers are a bit better then mine in the Great Marsh, in terms of overall captures. I've only captured 7 out of my 41 phases here, having failed the last 20. Good luck on your next hunts!!
Sorry for your tough luck this Safari Week Mike! However, at least you got to see another Chansey shine as you mentioned. One of these days the bait strat WILL work and all these fails will make the re-claim that much better!
Hey Gen3Hunter! I love your videos. I am currently gen 3 hunting as well. I have two Gameboy sps. One ruining fiery path on sapphire. I am hoping for a shiny torkoal but I will take anything. The second running victory road on fire red. There I am hoping for shiny Onix or marowak but again will take anything. Do you have any advice for me?
@@jake9107 i own 6 copies of the games, but im not about to hunt on 6 gameboys all the time when i can trasnfer my saves to my PC and have them all on one screen, play how ya want,
Hello, Gen3hunter. I would like to know how you achieve so much patience, especially hunts that require thousands of encounters in one day. I’m Shiny hunting a full odds Tangela hunt, which is becoming tedious. Do you have any advice?
@@Gen3Hunter Another question: how do shiny hunters get so many GBA SPs and legit cartridges? I assume they were saved up from when they were sold regularly?
Out of curiosity, do you use both 3ds and original ds capture mods for this? Every time I try to use my 2 OG ds and 1 3ds it doesn’t work. The 3ds always either goes black or flashes on the windowed display
Yup that’s what I used in this case! The flashing is typically caused by your USB ports being overloaded (the DS Cap card mod is very power intensive/draws a lot of power). Try moving around where on your computer where they are plugged in!
@@Gen3Hunter ah okay! I have them plugged into a usb hub, I’ll try plugging them directly into my tower tonight when I’m working on my Platinum starter hunt. Thank you for the tip!
@@Gen3Hunter I just tested it out, switched my OG ds only to the USB hub with my keyboard and mouse. And my 3DS is working perfectly directly off the pc with my OG DS systems running too. Can finally 3x hunt ds with capture
That logic of regressing to the mean meaning you're "due" for a short phase isn't actually mathematically accurate. The odds for each phase taking a certain length are independent of any other phase. Over a long enough (infinite) time scale things will regress to the mean, yes, but that's because you're dealing with an infinite number of tries at the odds for the phase length, making the effect any individual phase have no effect what so ever on the whole. A long phase absolutely does not mean that a short phase is due. I know you probably understand this already and are just making a joke, but I do see people falling into this logical fallacy surprisingly often unfortunately.

I think the issue is that you're only encountering Shiny Chansey that have full stomachs
Shiny Chansey 🤝 Gen3Hunter
Full stomachs 😊

@@SH_Lando yooo that’s so cool! you even beat math!
Brutal is an understatement!!! Next safari week you’re gonna find 20 once it regresses to the mean!
Honey, wake up the Gen3Hunter uploaded !!!!! ❤🎉
I'm up babe
No but actually tho
I failed a 5% Shiny Heracross on Sapphire this safari week. Definitely a bittersweet week for us all.

Glad to see you back in the saddle Mike! Sorry for such a tough Safari Week, but next year is DEFINITELY the year for Chansey!
What an insanely brutal week! I hope next year treats you better!

damn you werent kidding
Oh man, that was rough, I'm with you, it'll all regress to the mean, good luck with your new emerald copies
Love your videos dude keep putting them out
what a kick in the nads

Next time you see Chansey ya gotta throw that ball and let fate decide!
I'd probably wouldn't bother bait tbh
Hope your next one will be better x
Bro wtf man frl frl frl you got it bro 🎉❤
About time you return ❤
One of the most painful safari week i've seen, hope the next one will go better !
Its hard to like a video like this but..... for the algorithm mike , for the algorithm.
been anticipating this upload and its finally here!🎉
15:51 I had this happen to me back in 2006 on my copy of Fire Red. I was rightfully angry.
The GOAT has returned!!
Legendary

12 systems is crazy haha. If anyone deserves the shiny Chansey it's you.
12 systems kinda ruins the fun for me , it just feel like 12 to 8400 not 1 in 8400.
new gen3hunter let's go
shiny in safari zone fleeing D:
Hell man, with those phases, 2025 better be chalk full of shinies
4:43 the red part has an imposter
Grats on the shiny finds! Got a question, how do your GameCube captures look so good? They look indistinguishable from a ds capcard’s quality
My heart sank when the Chansey clip transitioned and I saw the number go to 36,000. Man that stinks
Technically under odds as it's 3,000 encounters per system, and the extra systems don't make it 12/8192, but 12/98304
Had a similar safari week.
Can I say I participated? I just wanted to catch Chansey and Tauros in general, but I still haven't caught them...
Progression to the mean, hopefully next year doesn't hit you this hard!
absolutely no shame in using the 3ds. i did the same! more systems = more shinies (in theory)!!!!

Hello! Make shiny hunting a background activity! Watch a show/movie listen to a podcast. Distract yourself and embrace the grind!
@@Gen3Hunter thank you!

Are you able to trade your pokemon off of your Leaf green from your 3ds?
Yup! You have to use GodMode9 (I quickly mentioned this). You can’t use Checkpoint to backup/restore GBA files
Bad luck sorry for you
The math will even it out soon, I just know it!
why japanese
Why not 🙀
Japanese cartridge is cheaper, and plus pokémon name in Japanese is more badass

For the love of pokemon just throw the ball, its chansey.
You gotta play the odds games as hard as it is.
