The Shiny Pidgey Saga - Pokemon Silver

- While hunting Vulpix for my Fire Monotype Challenge through Silver, I got just a little unlucky with my phase luck. 8 Shiny Pidgey in a row.
The hunt for Vulpix looked simple enough being a level 13 repel trick during the Day to make it 37.5% instead of 10%. Pidgey is 50%, Vulpix is 37.5% and Stantler is 12.5%. A coin flip for Pidgey and something else that I lost 8 times in a row. Insanity.
I hope you enjoy the eventual descent into madness with this hunt.
Thank you for watching as always.

![[LIVE] Shiny Roaming Entei after only 100 seen in Crystal (+ Stadium 2)](/img/n.gif)
Hunt a lot on Twitch. If you'd like to watch along as you hunt, make sure you're following me! - www.twitch.tv/sonikks
Imagine that there is a hack were the game automatically shiny hunts for you, but that would be considered as cheating for sure.
May i ask how many hours that took lol
"vulpix is only 37.5%. i could make it 100%, but..."
and so the saga begins
From the Vulpix video: I wouldn’t mind a couple of Pidgeys
Silver: *and i took that personally*
Steve … you _have_ to do a PTQ video now. I need to see six Pidgeys take on the Champion. They deserve the limelight.
Man's finally completed his pidgey dream team quest 🙌
1 pidgey for every gym
*After 3rd Pidgey*
Sonikks: The pidgey deserves a showcase, even if its the third one. Hopefully no more though..
Narrator: There were *many* more
He sounded so happy with the first one lmao, excellent video Steve!
The anguish when the 5th one appeared, I could feel that.
That 8th Pidgey was a jerk waiting 25,000+ encounters just so you could get another Pidgey
You can really hear a part of him dying with each Pidgey lol.
Phase 5 and 8 were so brutal... I'm so glad you got Vulpix!!! 💖🙌🏼 Legend!
merry chrysalis eve everyone and may your shiny luck remain pristine
Mary Chrysler!
Alternate title: Watch English man slowly lose his sanity over wrong coloured virtual birds
Great video dude lmao, glad you finally got Vulpix, looking forward to that video!
14:35 This reaction got me. 😂 Cannot believe how long that phase took too, wow. I'm glad you did finally get Vulpix, though.
You could hear your heart breaking more and more with every Pidgey. For what it's worth, friend, congratulations on your sparkling aviary!
This was such a long arduous quest Sonikks. Constantly seeing your posts on social media of all 8 Shiny Pidgeys and the jokes you made like “He sit. Good boi.” Or “Thanksgiving at my house this year” were hilarious 🤣 or all the “Shiny Vulpix today or we riot” or “it’s a skill issue”. Finally. Congratulations Sonikks! Merry Christmas! ✨
68,248 encounters, that’s some serious dedication
merry christmas man, hope you have a good one
Bird keepers unite! 🐦
One hell of a hunt man. Gen 2 birds must be cursed right? Lol. Either way, congrats for sticking through it till the end!
"No way! Shiny Pidgey! Phaaaase oneee. Wow that looks really cool!" if only he knew.
the story of the pidgeotto found on the playground is really nice, i can imagine how exciting that must have been at the time!
I was about to give up my Dreepy hunt (3060 eggs, masuda + charm), but hearing your pain and agony has inspired me to keep going
did u get it??
did u get it??
Nope, currently at 3300. I got one from an outbreak but I'm still determined to get one through eggs
@@mikejo4456 Godspeed
can already tell this will be a banger
High encounter hunt and high phase count brothers. Lol! Super happy for you to finally end this hunt. Enjoyed watching all the birds! Looking forward to the Vulpix vid!
Congrats on the PTQ (+2)! But more importantly, I'm so glad you got your Vulpix. Bright side, now that it's over, hopefully it can be a really funny story rather than just feeling like a seemingly endless onslaught of Pidgey...
Looking forward to seeing the Vulpix video soon, and Happy Holidays!
I've really enjoyed following this hunt on your streams, it's been a long one, but you found it in the end! Congratz!
I like how your first reaction is yay then as more shiny pidgeys appeared, your demeanor changes to "can you please gtfo?"
Wonderful video as always! Your intro reminded me of my Dynamax Adventure Groudon hunt, which took 298 encounters with the charm and over 20 phases. I hunted it overe the course of a month, and even though it was a pain to hunt, it's a token of my sheer dedication and a very cool trophy especially in an apricorn ball.
God watching this unfold real time over your social media was unreal, glad for you now that this is over good luck to everyone
The compilation of despair. Mad respect for keeping at the hunt after so much misfortune. Will watch your Vulpix video yet. I expect you to sound as happy and excited as a child on Christmas morning! 😂
Merry Christmas Steve, love the thumbnail lol. Glad this saga is over for you.
The fabled shiny Pidgey badge quest, been waiting for this one!
Congrats Steve. I’m glad it’s over for you. Pidgey team quest it is
Not only did you get 8 pidgeys in a row, you got 8 female pidgeys all with the same stats Attack 19, defense 19, special atk 17, special def 17 and speed 23
i think you found the exact same pidgey 8 times
that's just how shinies work in gen 2 I think
@@Ganobrator Yeah shinies are tied to specific dvs. Every stat has a dv of 10 except attack, which can vary.
It was both fun and pain to watch this hunt live but still fun nonetheless!
Congratz!
Been waiting so long for this!
Sonikks: Shiny Vulpix please! Shiny Pidgey: Lmao nope!
My first ever organic shiny was my second encounter in X, a female Pidgey who became the mvp of the team. I still adore her t thus day.
Ah yes a full team and 2 extras in case of unseen releases. Good hunt mate!
Kinda annoyed I barely missed the shiny vulpix, Twitch notifications don't work for me for some reason. Congrats on the Vulpix though! Can't wait for the video!
Merry Christmas!
I don't watch 100% of your vids, but this one looks like a banger.
The hunt that nearly broke me was doing 23,000~ resets for charmander in FireRed on a single system. No chance to phase, but god in heaven did it go on way too long.
Wow 8 Pidgey's. The sprites looks great in Gen 2 Silver. I hope Vulpix will shiny soon. Congrats
Pidgey Number one: "Oh that looks cool!"
And that was the moment, disaster was summoned
Anyways, congrats on finally finishing the Vulpix Hunt Steve! May the other hunts bless you and treat you better! ^.^
In a world where shiny hunting is becoming annoying for how easy it is I LOVE THAT SOMEONE STILL GOES THE OLD FASHIONED WAY P.S. my unluckiest shiny hunt ever was zapdos in fire red…. 7 months! But I love my zapdos, he was my first shiny legendary ever and he owns a special place in my heart
My god, not even one Stantler phase......... so glad this hunt is over for you now ;;;
I love the title - I remember chat brainstorming some great options, and it makes me happy to see one made the cut! Congrats, and merry Christmas :)
Happy holidays and congrats, i think, for the shinies!
363!
Damn, half a box full of shiny Pidgey! I don´t know if you are lucky or not hahaha!
I've never seen someone so devastated to encounter a shiny Pokemon
thanks for your videos helps a lot got too shinys after resting its cool.
I'm doing my first legit hunt of a shiny rayquaza in pokemon emerald. I haven't gotten too far yet however I fixed the game battery and everything and it is thankfully a legit cartidge i've come to find out which is cool. I think i'm about 150-200 encounters. Good luck on your hunts you're on another level. I could never imagine getting that many shinys in a row that sounds like hell
Battery doesn't matter in Emerald. Are you doing Run Aways or Soft Resets?
Good grief, you are the pidgey champion 😵
falkner was really onto something
"The Nightmare Before Christmas"
I have like 1 swellow and 3 tailows from hunting for nincada on 116 right by rustboro city in ruby. Lol Congrats on the shinies
I'm not ready for when this kind of hunt happens to me
Now you need to do a play through of the pidgey
Merry Christmas everyone and may Santa bless your hunts
“I’m going to guess ‘status ok’” 😂
love watching shiny hunting vids wilest i shiny hunt. i know gen 2 stats determine the shiny but the fact all 8 pigys were female is crazy that poor male shiny pidgy looking for his sisters were are they there all in sonikks box lol
Lol damn I’m at Phase 10 for Growlithe in Fire red. I have 2 Ekans, 4 Pidgey and 3 Meowth. I took a massive break from that hunt.
14:35 Shiny Pidgey....
NoOoOOoooOoo!!
I'm at 13,500 in my first route Just Get Anything Crystal run. I'd kill for a shiny bird right now. But I'm glad your Pidgey saga is over.
I had one of these, in dark cave in hgss its a 60% geodude, 39% zubat and i found 5 geodudes before zubat, not as ridiculous but definitely has the same energy
I’ve got 6 shiny druddigon in black 2 trying for zweilous… I feel your pain
Oh, it's beautiful.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays too all . Be safe. love your families and friends
I’m going through this arc rn. On phase 9 for gen 2 shiny Clefairy and dear god do I want it to end. Always going for the more painful repel trick from now on. Good god I hate hunting this gen sometimes
Pidgeys... Pidgeys Everywhere
11:43 i was here kek, cant believe i thought 4 pidgeys would be the end
Gongrats🎉
Ah this reminds me of my FRLG Meowth hunt where i went 6 phases and 70,000+ encounters for it
Pidgey best boi!
Shiny Pidgeot: "Very cool sprite"
I didn't know diarrhea green was in fashion
He said sprite, not color
Congrats.
The Saga of Bird Keeper Steve ....
Reminds me how i have gotten st least 26 shiny nosepasses snd 14 shiny yanmas going for horde houndour in pokemon x... I've lost count of the encounters and gave away several of the shinies to random people growing up lol
On my silver game as a kid I caught a shiny pidgey early. I evolved it to pidgeot and eventually leveled to 100. I realize now how lucky that was. I wonder if the save is still on the game or if the battery is dead….
I started hunting for a shiny spiritomb in gen 8 a year ago. Gave up when gen 9 released. I will never see that damn thing in my life.
Crazy 8 Pidgeys. Lol! So how long till Shiny Pidgey number 9, you wonder? Lol!
9 phases for an almost 40%?????????? Bad game. Grats on all the baby birds! Too many
Cursed (Blessed???) PTQ video. So happy that Vulpix decided to finally happen.
I hope one day we get a video on getting a shiny electrode and naming it gurt! Obviously in gen 2
Gen 2 is so awesome 💛
What website do you use to get the percentage of what you'll encounter?
I can't imagine doing this kind of hunt. My worst hunt was for a roaring moon and I got 4 shiny zweilous before I found a shiny moon. This is so much worse, good lord
Merry Christmas!
So Ive heard the term "phase" a bit when it comes to people and shiny Pokemon.
Is a phase in a shiny hunt the amount of time between finding *a* shiny in general, and saying X phases before my target is just how many non targets I got before the one I wanted?
It's nothing to do with time. A shiny Weedle while hunting for Caterpie is phase 1 for Shiny Caterpie, for example.
@@Sonikks well. You didn't answer his question. What defines a "phase"?
I literally explained it...? It's something that isn't your target
@@Sonikks yeah you explained it don't worry bout that dude. Thanks for the info
@@ARage5 All good
Wouldn't this be the unluckiest hunt ever recorded holy moly
For phasing I believe that might be held by SH_Lucious who went a stupid amount of phases for Bronzor (55%) in BDSP. Hard to think of worse phase hunts than that.
@@Sonikks it's scary to even think there could be a worse one 😂
I need to know how you do this. Hours of shiny hunting and video editing. Where do you find the time? I’ve spent HOURS upon HOURS RE AND SR and have not found a single shiny
27:30 what hunt are you refferencing here? is that one only possible in gold/silver but not crystal?
Gold and Silver offer a lot of hunts you can do exclusively over Crystal as well as earlier targets. Full odds Magmar is available much earlier in Burned Tower in G/S but it's Mt Silver in Crystal.
flashbacks to the spheal hunt
Bro you have the patience of a saint damn 6 duplicate shinies
Wooow 25646 encounters on that last phase, that's painful.

The Pidgeyning
How do you get a lot of repels?
The degeneration of your tone of voice, I felt for you so bad!
I wonder though (just a hunch) if this has something to do with the combo of the repel trick and the stats? Maybe the luck is skewed for that EXACT pidgey if the repel trick is narrowing the stat margins. Seems more likely than the raw chance....be interesting if anyone has the ability to check that (I don't hahaha).
Great video nonetheless!!
Shiny pidgey chose you
some pidgey enthusiast somewhere out there is freaking out over this crying
also almost every single pidgey sent out into battle managed to be sent out against another pidgey, meaning you failed the coinflip twice as much when you got the shiny... mmm salt on the wound
Question, why do you run/bike around in the tall grass instead of using sweet scent? Is there a factual reason, or is it just preference?
Two reasons. First, it's significantly slower. There's only a few scenarios in which Sweet Scent is more optimal such as surfing encounters, places with low encounter rare like Underwater in Hoenn or Three Isle Port in FireRed and LeafGreen.
Second, you can't repel trick and do sweet scent at the same time. Sweet Scent is base encounters so Vulpix would have reverted to being a 10% spawn in this particular case.
BIRD UP!!!
