- Bit of a long one for this Genie but he decided to shine in a batch of decent luck for me recently. This shiny is quite underrated imo. I know we say that a lot as shiny hunters but it's the truth. The deep purple particularly on the Therian Forme is different to the purple on the likes of Mudkip etc. I like it a lot.
This hunt is quite unique in a sense due to how it's performed via the dex for maximum optimisation. It's necessary to have a Thundurus or Tornadus in your dex prior to starting and then you register the Formes page using the tick. Pressing select will jump you directly to the page. It's simply a case of watching the cutscene and then pressing the page to view if there is a shiny or not. The only other Pokemon this is beneficial for would be the fossils. If you revive 5 fossils and then check the form page, you'll skip needing to check the party individually which is very interesting in my opinion. I'm not sure if this is unique to Gen 5 or it's something that you can do in later generations.
These aren't really considered roamers due to the way it's ideal to hunt them and are commonly referred to as a pseudo-roamer. Personally, they feel more like a static encounter hunt more than anything. With only 3 Routes to appear on too depending on the time of day, it's a bit strange to add them to my roamer quest so they're just something I want to do as random hunts as I appreciate their shinies.
A big thank you to Johnstone for his video on how to quickly play through the Dream Radar for the forme I needed as I didn't have an extra copy of White. Check that video out here; • HOW EASILY CAN YOU CAT...
Thanks for watching as always!

You should change the therian form in the title to the therian varient
Hey do you ever stream in twitch
my dex doesn't have the form button? only have 2 badges if that matters.
When he finishes a video and doesn’t say “Goodluck on all your hunts” 😔
Good luck on all of YOUR hunts, my friend!
Sonikks I’m touched, thank you 😭
That must be why I just went over odds for groudon :(
@@CorgiOfSteel if it makes you feel any better in ultra sun it took me 1k sr's to find shiny reshiram just to fail it
15:30 I actually discovered that a long time ago. I was playing with my friends and we had a 4-man Double-Battle. Two of us were playing on Black 2 and the other two had Black and White. When my friend send out his Black-Kyurem on my screen it looked normal, but on my friends screen with Pokemon White he only saw a normal Kyurem. And whats even more interesting was when the Black-Kyurem used his signature Move Freeze Shock it actually had the animation for it even in Pokemon Black and White. It looked kinda different but it was definitly the right animation.
That's really strange. Maybe Freeze Shock was a move in the code that was never given to any Pokemon, but then in Black 2 and White 2 they decided to give it to Black-Kyurem?
@@wallybrown1341 Yeah i guess so. I mean it's not new that certain moves have been coded into the game, but not actually given to any Pokemon.
i just found a video where you can see that those two moves Freeze Shock and Ice Burn were indeed coded into the game.
th-cam.com/video/QQyQxAIpPIE/w-d-xo.html
Not gonna lie I honestly thought this was common knowledge. In the games code, pokemon that were to get an alternate form in the sequels had a number identifying the amount of alternates they would have (those being the genies, kyurem, and keldeo. i think genesect's drives also counted as formes but those were already in the game). The same thing is true with diamond/pearl and then the alternate formes added in platinum. As for the moves, game freak likely already had the entire generation planned out unlike gens 1 and 2, so they were in the games code to keep everything compatible. My friend and I actually found the moves way back in 2011, we used to hack in weird and crazy pokemon using pokesav and some other program that would send them to your games, and on a move list we found them. I had a shiny scizor with freeze shock and ice burn lol.
tcrf.net/Pokémon_Black_and_White
This page should mention all of this stuff, I believe.
@@ItsNep It probably is common knowledge but I didn't know it personally. I think the thing I compared it to was how in ORAS there are Megas that can't be used against a trainer playing X and Y. If you had a Mega Steelix but I had Y version, we literally can't battle using that Pokemon. I guess they got a bit lazier and just prevented connection with newer formes/items etc in later generations but this is just more recent memory I guess.
Such an interesting way of determining if its shiny. Also as always great video!
The Therian Forme looks so cool in Gen 5, wow.
@@embargogamer2717definitely
Thundurus has to be my favorite out of the trio, being one of the few Electric/Flying types we have. His other form is also pretty neat. I'm happy to have my own shiny one in Ultra Moon.
Congrats on your thunder genie, my dude!
Well done! Really unique way of checking for a shiny that I wasn't aware of. Glad it wasn't too far over odds!
It does that for the Kyurem fusions as well, in BW it’s seen as regular Kyurem, but then the jig is up when it uses moves like fusion flare, or it’s ice beams hit way too hard.
I believe it also used to do that for Giratina origin and Rotom forms when fighting a Platinum player from DP, it’ll show as Giratina altered or regular rotom. This might be why they didn’t change the rotom forms typing until gen 5, to avoid confusion
congrats!!
i love it when you do unique hunts like this, it didn't even occur to me that i could use the dex...! i overlooked these shinies when bw came out tbh, didn't see anyone hunting them either, but i'm definitely going to do it now!
Honestly one of the only TH-camrs I consistently watch. Thank you for the constant enjoyable videos :)
You are probably one of the best shiny hunters on the platform. Just the dedication alone. Keep it up ❤️
I always think it's funny how you find the shiny and then wait a couple of days to actually catch it haha, congrats!
Love this sneaky way of checking, you always find really cool ways to hunt! Keep it up.
I’ve always wanted to see people hunt this shiny, good job on getting this!
Gen 5 hunts always look amazing, congrats on the shiny !!
I'm always impressed by how you are doing all these roaming encounters. Sure this is not as hard as the others but still... I could not have the power to do this!
I got inspired to try this hunt in my own White version after seeing your Pokédex checking method to confirm the shininess. By sheer ridiculous luck and the grace of RNGesus, I managed to get a shiny Thundurus to spawn in 93 SRs. I would never have even considered hunting for it in the first place without stumbling on this vid, so thank you!
Congrats!
I was actually thinking of doing this hunt soon. Looks great. Congrats
Feeling awful lately. Your videos make me really happy and relax me. Thank you. ❤
I'm so glad! Hope you feel better soon dude.
Oh this was a great treat to wake up to! Also congrats on the awesome shiny!
Man this was really cool. I had no clue thats how they were hunted in this game. Congrats on the shiny thunder genie! Good luck if you decide on trying for the lileep!decide to check because I was curious, it did have land-t's ability! That's flippin crazy haha
Really cool hunt! Congrats for the shiny ! And the thing with the therian form at the end was interesting ^^
Yo congrats Steve I love seeing this one because it seems like not very many people hunt it and it is quite a nice shiny, Congrats.
Congratulations on such a cool Shiny encounter! I can’t bring myself to continue hunting White for Foongus anymore, it’s been so long already and I keep procrastinating as is. I’m so bad with it that it’s been 20 months in the making for this thing...
Stop wasting your life time. If you want some easy shinies, go do some raids online in Sw/Sh. Been doing this for like 2 weeks and I got like almost 20 shinies. Including Volcarona and many other AMAZING shinies.
Lord N That’s very fair. I don’t see it as a waste of time, though, because patience is something I need to practice a lot for later in life. I get that you’re trying to help though, so thanks 😊
@@lordn4353 quit wasting your lifetime by playing games that arent real. No seriously though a lot of people enjoy full odds rather than method hunts.
I agree. If I hunt via raids in Sword and Shield, I can spend more time on other people's videos in the comment section telling them to stop wasting their life instead of uploading content. Thank you for the tip!
@@Sonikks goat
This brought me back to when I found mine. Congrats Steve! This reminded me I still have to go for Tornadus
Thanks Julio. Watched your video several times for motivation, appreciate it!
this is certainly an interesting hunt! congrats on the shiny!
Congrats been waiting for another video and might I add that sprite is amazing 👍
Ahh, wish I had my old black and white cartridge. Congrats on the hunt dude!
13:03 just seeing a legendary, pokemon often taken seriously and could be deadly, bounce around on the screen is straightup hilarious
absolutely insane! especially unique way to determine if its shiny or not. congrats!
this sounds rly dumb but i honestly appreciate your vids because i get demotivated A LOT while shiny hunting and seeing you hunt for days makes me keep going
Sick catch man, congrats on the beautiful pseudo Roamer and awesome tip with the fossils, will take that advice when I hunt mine at some point thanks again.
Thanks 👍
omg congrats! shiny thundurus is amazing! honestly i dont know how you manage to get so many shinies, i've been hunting for roaming entei/raikou for almost a year haha
Gen 5 hunts always look amazing , great shiny mate 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Definitely want to try this hunt soon! Congrats!
Always wanted to try this hunt. Congrats!
I love your videos you did make me start shiny hunting!
The shiny encounter with its theme song makes it that much more worth it
This is a very unique hunt. I never knew about the PokeDex method. Nonetheless, awesome shiny! Congratulations!
Oh wow! That's a pretty cool method to find out if its shiny. Also, great video!
Congratulation for the shiny, Thundurus as a shiny is my favourite of the 3 genies.
Gen 5 hunts are highly underrated congrats!
Looks like a fun hunt I'm definitely getting this one. Feels like the only one of the 3 worth shiny hunting imo, I love the color it looks great
How on earth you have the willpower to put that much effort in is crazy nice one
Congrats man, I'm still doing random encounters on mine for koffing. I always loved gen 2 shiny colors and koffing is currently one of my favorites right now.
Holy crap , 10 years and i had NO idea you can hunt like that. Who’s the mad lad who figured this out ??
Also congrats
Wow you’re lucky lately! Congratulations
I did this but for Tornadus instead back in like 2013. It was a successful hunt. Congrats on getting this also
Congrats! I'm currently hunting Cresselia and the johto starters. Got a Totodile and named him Oats.
This hunt seems so fun and I was planning on doing it, this just makes me want to do it more
Congrats, dude!!
Congrats on the shiny thundurus man
I myself soft resetted and got my shiny shaymin in platinum today after 2045 encounters
Sweet shiny! You're so cool Steve
Dude you are pumping out these roaming hunts in superspeed that is honestly impressive, also this method is really cool i might try it out too, does this work too if you dont have it in the dex yet?
Congratulations on the shiny
Yay a new sonikks video congrats in the thundurus
In gen 6, 7 and 8 you can also use the dex when hunting the fossils.
It's quite easy to get a big bunch of fossils in X and Y (Lileep in X)... and when they are sent straight to a box there's no nickname question.
But there's no real point using the dex method in gen 7/8 as you see the mons right after reviving them anyways. (you can use it to make sure you didn't miss one tho)
Oh and GZ on the shiny!
love your content! Great Job
Jeeeze.. these recent legendary hunts have crazy high resets. Nice job.
Good job on the shiny. I actually just ordered my first copy of pokemon white on July 31st. Hopefully it gets here soon.
I did the same with White 2
Back in 2015 when I was 10...
*IT STILL HASENT ARRIVED YET*
@Lapis Lazuli Really?!
It always makes me sad when I see this shiny because I got it when I was a kid just remembered it had a different colour thought nothing of it and sold the game with it on when I was young
congrats mr.broadcaster on hitting the frame
Damn thats one crazy an unique hunt! How long did it take you?
You actually inspired me to do my first sr hunt. I am going for a starter in HG, going easy on my first hunt, so far i am 1250 sr's in, wish me luck 👍
GuacamoleGeneral find it yet?
@@DM-of5sl yup i found it less than 100 resets later after commenting 😁 i got chicorita
Congratulations!
What a cool way of hunting!!
Scrolling is not needed as itll just tell you 'Shiny seen : 1'
you can confirm it that way
Yeah but that's boring. Elastic band on the L and R buttons to reset faster too means it scrolls automatically.
You are the second most patient person ever
wonderful shiny! hope i get my shiny tepig soon
Have you thought about sending gen 4-5 Pokemon to your gen 8 games to see them in their 3D models like with gen 3 hunts, or do you keep them on the file you originally got them on?
teach me your ways oh master of shines
i love the therian forms of this trio
Wow I remember this I did this like a year ago and it took me 8995 sr good job bro I know this was a real pain in the ass
Btw I’m currently hunting deino and Kyurem in Pokémon white 1 I have 11k for deino and 6k for Kyurem let’s see if I can find those little dragons lol
congrats man
Another great shiny GG sonniks is on a rampage he is going to soon make all shines extinct
Hey sonik congrats on this hunt if i am soft resetting for a shiny should i turn off my game when i stop or just close the ds and charge it im going for a snivy in white
Thanks and just turn it off. It makes no difference dude.
Congrats on the shiny. I want to attempt this hunt. Do you have to transfer a non shiny first in order to hunt it?
Yes you do! Best of luck on the hunt
Sonikks you do?? Crap.
“Hey guys, Sonikks here” always makes me smile, keep it up friend
Interesting thats a very unique way to check for shiny
Are there other ones that work like this?
Great vid
Sonniks, do you have tips for beginner RE hunters? (And not like repel trick, or abilities to change encounter rates), but like, how to maintain motivation to spend weeks or even months to hunt?
How did you make it therian??? I want to hunt this but if I can’t get the form then I probably won’t
Yay go Steve, congrats
So excited to see the video for the gen2 Entei. Any idea when you might upload that?
Steffy S didn’t he already get entai in 711 soft resets
FLO Techno he got one in crystal in only 100
Probably at some point this week, closer to the weekend I imagine. Just need to prep a final piece of footage :)
Sonikks cool I need to watch you on twitch
@@Sonikks Nice I only have crystal on the vc so I was wondering how to hunt the other two dogs
This man is insane
seems the ability and stats are the therian forme's stats even on White 1 since the therian forme's have abilities that are not new and thus W1 has no issue with them. Basically W1 is just not displaying the Therian sprite since it is not in the game but everything else should be correct. Neat.
Gg its so good looking to I love thunderus and I just bought my first copy of HG so I’m going to hunt for a starter
Gen 5 sprite animations looks more lively than current Gens💕👌
As if the thunder Pokémon is actually a quiet nature
Hey Sonikks, how do you change the Forme of the Urus'?
Give me a sec ill look it up for ya
Cool, man!
I have White Version as well!
I gave up my volcarona relic castle SR hunt in white 2 and honestly.
I might get either white 2 or black 2 secondary cartridges just to try hunting it again cause i have massive regret in giving up cause I was getting pretty close to heightened chances.
Love the gen 5 shinies
Great I’m still on the shiny tornadus hunt on Pokémon black it’s taking a while but I’m hanging in there 😊 and I’m also doing a hunt in omega ruby for shiny landorus right now too
Love the channel
Woooho new video ♥️♥️♥️♥️
I have a question! I just got myself a copy of White after seeing this video. I want to hunt a Shiny Thundy too! But the thing is, I don't have anyone to trade with for a Thundurus so i can't register the pokedex entry. Does that mean i can't do this hunt?
And for some reason, there's no "form" tab on my White Pokedex. Or does that come later in the game? i just started and its my first time playing Gen V so sorry for the noob-ish questions haha
I think you can still hunt it, you just will have to press a few more buttons since you won't have the thundorus entry on tge dex to register
Do you need to trade a normal thundurus over to your white version? And you have to have all batches to get access to it?
I know i’m late and nobody cares but Thundurus was my first shiny ever completly random ( No SRs ) I was 6 and i thought that he had “strange stars” because it was a legendary, then i understood that he was very special and rare, 10 years later i’m still proud of that :) i’m really close to shiny Thundurus and i’m happy you caught it too
But, excluding a Random Shiny Sandile always in PKMN White, i didn’t find any random shiny in the past 6/7 years, then in Pokemon Sun i found a random shiny Mareanie in an egg during breeding, and it was actually a 29 IVS :)
Congratulations man :)
Really weird way to hunt tbh, I prefer to see the actual stars when encountering. Oh well.
Btw, how exactly do you hunters keep track of those soft resets?
I have hunted a Cyndaquil in Crystal for 11 months, I cannot imagine counting all those :O
Mathinus Wolters there are multiple ways to personally I use an app called Pokétch which keeps track of your hunts to count for every encounter all you have to do is tap on the screen
@@Deceit72 Smart :O
Although I have to use an extra ds for the Poketch.
Or is it an actual app? xD
Mathinus Wolters it’s an app on your phone
@@Deceit72 Awesome, thank you :)
I will use this in the future!
You should do a video of you showing or telling us how much save files you have like how much HGs you have or DPP
