(found 2/4/19) the first of 3 shinies I found in February that I never got around to uploading!! This one is one of my absolute dream Gen 3 shinies, so I was so happy to find one!
This man has been posting Pokémon videos for almost a decade. Just doing what he loves. Man I hope I can live my life like that one day. You’re amazing man keep doing you.
Congrats!!!! Such a great shiny! Also, even tho capture card are a thing, I will never get tired of this kind of video when you just point a camera at your consoles, I absolutely love it! It definitely has its charm!
Literally just found you and your videos remind me of classic TH-cam. People just recording themselves doing what they love for fun. Thanks for continuing to do what you love!
Just found your channel on Tuesday. I can't stop watching! Your videos are making the work do so much more bearable and I am very grateful. Keep up the great work!
Absolblogspokemon wow Matt that’s a mad dope shiny doe , congrats on the shiny Cacnea man , can’t wait to see more shiny videos from you soon my guy !!!
Not only Cacnea and Cacturne are cool looking mons, but their shinys are too! I love those autumn colours. Congrats Absol! :D Yesterday I found a random shiny Bulbasaur on GO, I am super happy since I didn't had one!
That's it, have my subscription. I've watched shiny hunters stream and videos, but never got into it. But by watching your Gauntlets and then some shiny vids, I'm now hunting for shinies in HG just to dedicate them to my friends. Also, because I hatched a shiny Gligar whilst talking to my friend about Pokémon and the shinies he has encountered.
Amazing find! There are all these pokemon that you dont think to hunt, but once you see a good looking one you slowly form a small army of consoles to find it. I think that'l be my next target after Rayquaza!
Matt, please keep the videos coming! I really enjoy chilling out playing pokemon UM and watching your videos at the same time. You should do a nuzlocke let's play of the alola region!
Congrats Matt. I know Cacnea was your target but lets be honest, you would have been 100x happier if that shiny Trapinch would have appeared. Then you could get a shiny Flygon tattoo to match mine.
Congrats! I have a question... did you refurbish all the batteries in those 3rd gen games or are they run dry? 3rd gen is my favorite but my OCD keeps me from playing them with the batteries dry and can’t do EVERYTHING in the game.. I’m also kind of afraid to open the games up even though I bought all the stuff to refurbish them
@@debbiecarriere4817 ive done it over a couple of days since i just got soul silver like 2 weeks ago, ive been doing it right now for around 2 hours im guessing, im not keeping track though
You should do a gauntlet where you only fight pokemon from rock smash encounters, or even worse you could do one where you only fight encounters from honey trees (sinnoh). I think it could be quite fun!
The ep of the gauntlet where u leveled up by shines it made me want a feebas so I started hunting for one and after 6 eggs I got one no shiny charm to the luck
Not sure if this has been answered before but how do you find the time for this. Are you able to do TH-cam full time cuz that would be amazing and also is that your own house?
less about having time for it and more about chipping away at it every now and then whenever I find time! I currently am a programmer full time and mostly find time to work on Pokemon stuff after work a couple days out of the week and some weekends! That's my own apartment there
Great shiny, but seeing KFC thrown out to battle brought back some good mems from that old hunt!! Side note, I’m back on the hunt for HG/SS starters on vaca again.
I actually got a shiny regigigas that I was hunting in an ultra wormhole today! Sadly regigigas isnt that good ): Idk how many srs since i didnt count them but i think it was about 1500
Friend Safari is a good place to start if you've never hunted before, odds are 1/512 there. If you wanna try full-odds, the HG/SS starters are the easiest and quickest hunt you could pick :)
I only just now noticed the numbers before each episode. Have you REALLY been doing this for over 400 videos??? Crimeny. Still, congrats on the golden cactus!
@@AbsolBlogsPokemon It always worries me that on your videos you usually play in dark places, i love your videos, but please, take care of your eyes as well :)
@@Dani1234543211 Don't worry, I often wear protective glasses! And sometimes the focus on the bright systems on camera makes the background look darker than it really is. I really appreciate the concern, though!
This man has been posting Pokémon videos for almost a decade. Just doing what he loves. Man I hope I can live my life like that one day. You’re amazing man keep doing you.
I've always wanted to do this as well. The less over-the-top stuff, and more "Oh heck yeah!" reactions.
Congrats!!!! Such a great shiny!
Also, even tho capture card are a thing, I will never get tired of this kind of video when you just point a camera at your consoles, I absolutely love it! It definitely has its charm!
It's very inspirational to us hunters who don't have access to capture cards.
The multi gameboy setup is very nostalgic.
Literally just found you and your videos remind me of classic TH-cam. People just recording themselves doing what they love for fun.
Thanks for continuing to do what you love!
Thanks so much!!! Means so much to hear that
Just found your channel on Tuesday. I can't stop watching! Your videos are making the work do so much more bearable and I am very grateful. Keep up the great work!
Wow, you’re shiny hunting cacnea! That’s actually my second favorite Pokémon of all time! (Including cacturne).
P.S my favorite is Kangaskhan.
Another video already, I was shook, and way pleased! What a beauty, that random shiny color really worked out well for the Cacnea line
Heck of a shiny! You're really spoiling us with content lately I love it :D

nice!! that's the one Kanto starter shiny I'm missing
Thank you! These videos are the best.

Congrats! This Shiny is so simple yet very very nice!
Wow congratulations man! You're so lucky!
Congratulations Matt!!! Nacny is gonna be so powerful.
Wow awesome catch my dood! Congrats on that!!
Congrats! Shinys in Gen 3 Games are so much more satisfying looking than in the later Gens.
Today I also got my first Shiny aand it was a Ralts :D
Shiny ralts?? Thats insane did you just do random encounters over n over?
golden/orange shinies are my favorite kinds! very envious of you
Amazing find! There are all these pokemon that you dont think to hunt, but once you see a good looking one you slowly form a small army of consoles to find it. I think that'l be my next target after Rayquaza!
I always look forward to the XD showcase with these 3rd gen hunts. Man, if I wasn't stuck on this sbq, I'd be all over them
Gz man, I've always thought about hunting but I just don't have that patience
CONGRATS!
i really really like your channel man! :-)
Matt, please keep the videos coming! I really enjoy chilling out playing pokemon UM and watching your videos at the same time. You should do a nuzlocke let's play of the alola region!
I will do a nuzlocke someday! never done one before believe it or not
Nice job and keep the good work up
Congrats Matt. I know Cacnea was your target but lets be honest, you would have been 100x happier if that shiny Trapinch would have appeared. Then you could get a shiny Flygon tattoo to match mine.
I wasn’t disappointed when I went to your channel to see that Shiny Flygon tattoo.
funny that you say that! Just wait for what I'm uploading later this week! Your tattoo is so cool, man
Do a level 100 gauntlet using only the pokewalker!
Nice stuff dude!
Nice! I got shiny roselia last week in Ruby. The best part is that I wasn't even shiny hunting.
Congratulations
Hey Matt! Love your content as always, I was wondering what camera do you use? Also cacnea is great, Congrats!
Thanks! I use a sony handycam
Dude come on it’s been half a week.... when’s the next Gauntlet???? 👿
sorry for the half week delay 😓
releasing 5 in one day tomorrow to make up for it
Nice, the nest ball also matches pretty well with Cacnea
Thanks! Yeah it's like the perfect color
I would honestly love to see some Level 255 gauntlets.
Do you have a Twitch or something? I know you did streams but I couldn´t find where.
He streams on YT
@@Alex-gw5et Does he delete the stream after finishing it?
@@naujqf9126 He doesn't stream on YT, only occasionally on twitch.
@@opus2998 But where? How is his channel name? Come on, what´s about all this mistery?
@@naujqf9126 Look up Absoltastic on twitch
OMG congrats dude

I’m also kind of afraid to open the games up even though I bought all the stuff to refurbish them
I replaced the battery in a couple of them and need to replace a few more! It's kind of scary at first but it's not bad
Lucky, I’m shiny hunting for a lugia right now and I’m over 3,000 soft resets
How much time was it to soft reset over 3,000?
@@debbiecarriere4817 ive done it over a couple of days since i just got soul silver like 2 weeks ago, ive been doing it right now for around 2 hours im guessing, im not keeping track though
just think it is most likely over 3,000
Keep going! I got mine a few years ago on my SoulSilver run. Totally worth it
@@BIZaGoten yea i really like the colors, i was trying to shiny hunt for a cynaquill but then looked at the actual shiny and didn't like it that much

Holy crap, I just found a shiny gloom while watching this! Thanks for the luck absol XD
grats!!!
Way underrated channel
Cacnea is a real cutie. I need a shiny one to call my own now. 🌵🤙🏻
Noice. I've got 2 shinies from that place - Baltoy and Sandshrew.
Who else looked at the thumbnail and thought this was a "yourfriedbread" video
Not sure if this has been answered before but how do you find the time for this. Are you able to do TH-cam full time cuz that would be amazing and also is that your own house?

I was watching one of tour gauntlet videos and you said that your birthday was August 8th. My birthday is on the same day aswell lol.
08-08 club!
Mine was 7th midnight lmao
Do you need a working battery to get shinies?
your my favorite hunter
Wait a second..? Absol? From SnB? Woah! I had no idea you were a TH-camr
Small world after all
LOLOL yup!!! was fun playing dubs with you last week
i love shiny cacnea! i use a shiny cacturne in my ultra sun :) edit : i caught it in my omega ruby after 1112 (such a good number) re's
Congrats! upload the other shinies soon man :D
Thanks man! The others are coming soon!
Great shiny, but seeing KFC thrown out to battle brought back some good mems from that old hunt!! Side note, I’m back on the hunt for HG/SS starters on vaca again.
Nice dude!! Grats on the Chikorita!!
Epical
I actually got a shiny regigigas that I was hunting in an ultra wormhole today!
Sadly regigigas isnt that good ):
Idk how many srs since i didnt count them but i think it was about 1500
Yoo gg homie
congrats Such a nice shiny, especialy in gen 3, Im hunting shiny ekans in crystal vc by eggs
good luck!
AbsolBlogsPokemon thanks!!
Hey absolblogs how much time did it take you to finally encounter the shiny cacnea?
this one took probably about 5 hours overall
Wow that’s fast
Legends only 👌
NICE AND DESERT
Cacnea and Cacturne look sick in shiny!
Im hunting for shiny cyndaquil in crystal since March 23rd!
best of luck!
No way! Shiny *insert name here*!
My proudest shiny hunting moment was hatching a shiny houndor after only 10 eggs in Pokémon Moon
nice
What do you mean by first phase?
Nice
Any tips on starting shiny hunting? I've been trying to get into it but don't know how.
Friend Safari is a good place to start if you've never hunted before, odds are 1/512 there. If you wanna try full-odds, the HG/SS starters are the easiest and quickest hunt you could pick :)
@@kit5238 Thanks! This helps a lot! I'm definitely going to try the HG/SS starters because I've always wanted a shiny cyndaquill.
@@samthesoupman6385 No problem!! Good luck on it, hope you get it first phase (since any one of the three starters can be shiny for that hunt)!
@@kit5238 thx!
I tought you would take a month to upload again lol
Lmao nice but what do you mean with 20%?
It's encounter-rate in that area is 20%.
that transition had me mad confused at 3:30
I can’t remember how many encounters I got hunting for a shiny dratini but it did take over 4 hours 😂
I only just now noticed the numbers before each episode. Have you REALLY been doing this for over 400 videos??? Crimeny.
Still, congrats on the golden cactus!
Yup!! Been making Pokemon vids for almost 9 years now omg
Well, here's to the future, good sir!
I love this channel but dont know where to start watching. Can i have some help.
I honestly have no idea either hahaha. Might wanna check out the playlists if you're feeling a certain type of video
Just got a shiny yesterday in lets go eevee
Good spot for hunting
If you have damp looking at you baltoy
Was playing thru pokemon sun and grinding the levels. Didnt pay attention and killed a shiny Gumshoos :(
In ur lv 100 video for pushing of only using money i found out you live in Louisiana to i live in the North u?
I used to!
Flexing 4 game boys •_• great vid
Do a gauntlet with only using perish song, self desturct, by catching pokemon, or using that step counter thing
I forgot your channel existed with all the drama.
Why not make a lv100 gauntlet using only the pokepelago?
I keep meaning to research that and start it! Otherwise it might never get done because of how long it will take lol
Do you have the Pikachu special gameboy advanced?
kind of! it's a refurbished one and it's not official
damn
absol can you make a video about showing all your shiny? i would love to see that
Someday I will!
Cacnea is the name of my cactus in real life XD
Why would you name a plant
Shrek because i like it
Hehe, eu tenho um coelho chamado Pikachu e uma coelha chaamda Pachirisu
did he just make an absol pun 2:21
1-100 only using rage in gen 1??
The creator of how to make the mii burger liked the video if you read this please reveal your existence to the public
Also if you wish to join my cult of the mii hamburger please ask
Do you go to Tech?
I used to!
ABSOLutely😂
I got a challenge for you level a Pokémon to level 100 by letting the enemy use struggle until It faints
How can you have so many shinies in that game after just 33 hours of playtime?
I usually don't save after long sessions of random encountering unless I find something, so the play time is much lower than it should be lol
Shiny trapinch soon I hope!?! 💙
yep!! later this week
Level 100 gauntlet off of Zubats only
shoutouts to mkleo vs dabuz
good job in that set dude
Is the nickname Nancy + Cacnea?
yup lol

Why do you nickname shinies? That (to my knowledge) makes their value go down because people you trade it to can't change it's name.
What makes you think he intends to trade it?
@@cylasbreakdown6140 Even if he moves it to a different game he can't change it.
I usually don't trade/transfer my shinies, but if I did, I wouldn't nickname them
@@AbsolBlogsPokemon Ah, okay. Thanks.
Jaja y uno aquí con suerte atrapa shinys en el Pokémon go xD
I legitimatly read cancer instead of cacnea
Do a video about transfering your pokemon to UlSUMO please...
I usually don't transfer my shinies outside of the generation I get them in. Might do that if I get a duplicate someday
37th
I appreciate the counting
