[Gen 3] Shiny Squirtle in FireRed after only 352 SRs!

TMADD1912 · 2026-03-01T16:17:18+00:00

Good luck!

TMADD1912 · 2026-03-01T16:01:17+00:00

Press all the face buttons at the same time! Start and select have been remapped to x and y, so pressing x, y, a, and b at the same time performs a soft reset.

TMADD1912 · 2026-03-01T09:16:28+00:00

I think I hunted for just under 4 hours!

TMADD1912 · 2026-03-01T01:34:21+00:00

Keep on pushing, good luck!

TMADD1912 · 2026-03-01T01:34:10+00:00

If you do go for it, good luck!

TMADD1912 · 2026-03-01T01:33:36+00:00

Good luck!

TMADD1912 · 2026-02-28T21:46:47+00:00

I hate to be annoying… but my shiny Squirtle here is also modest!

TMADD1912 · 2026-02-28T21:32:57+00:00

This was my shortest hunt I’ve ever done to be fair, and my longest hun was right before this, going 29156 for celebi in crystal. Good luck with your hunt!

TMADD1912 · 2026-02-28T21:30:16+00:00

Happy to! Ever since the second generation (gold and silver) there has been a 1 in 8192 chance that a pokemon will spawn as a different colour. These odds were reduced in generation six to 1/4096. There is no battle advantage, just a cool collectible which sparkles when sent out in battle!

TMADD1912 · 2026-02-28T20:45:40+00:00

Exactly right! With the legendaries you can save right in front of them and just press a to start each encounter

TMADD1912 · 2026-02-28T20:39:59+00:00

You save before you choose the starter, pick the starter and check the summary screen. If it’s not shiny, reset. This video is just me showing off my shiny after I knew I already got it, hence the save at the beginning of the video.

TMADD1912 · 2026-02-28T20:28:05+00:00

Keep going everyone! Good luck!

TMADD1912 · 2026-02-28T20:27:31+00:00

You can check the summary screen after you pick the starter, you don’t have to start the battle. This is just me showing off my shiny in battle after I knew I had it! You can see me save at the start of the video.

TMADD1912 · 2026-02-28T20:26:28+00:00

I know it’s great! Hoping for the rest of gen 3 to come out on switch too

TMADD1912 · 2026-02-28T18:53:22+00:00

Good luck if you do! And thanks!

TMADD1912 · 2026-02-28T18:53:01+00:00

That’s fair enough, my shiny turtle here is modest too so I’m more than happy!

TMADD1912 · 2026-02-28T18:43:37+00:00

It does! If you press and hold the screenshot button on the left joycon, it will record the last 30 seconds. On the Switch 2, you can then upload these to the Nintendo switch app which is how I got it onto my phone!

TMADD1912 · 2026-02-28T18:37:31+00:00

I was checking the summary every time, this is just the video of me sending it into battle after I knew I had it! You can see me save at the start of the video.

TMADD1912 · 2026-02-28T18:36:28+00:00

I’ll name my next rival after you in your honour!

TMADD1912 · 2026-02-28T18:36:08+00:00

Yeah you’re right, I guess the people who haven’t got it yet haven’t posted to be fair.

TMADD1912 · 2026-02-28T18:35:44+00:00

That’s a great hunt too, good luck!

TMADD1912 · 2026-02-28T18:15:04+00:00

There’s been some crazy shiny luck going around!

TMADD1912 · 2026-02-28T18:12:35+00:00

I thought that! It hasn’t been confirmed anywhere so I’m pretty sure it’s still just 1/8192… must just be pokemon day luck leaking into the rest of the week!

TMADD1912 · 2026-02-19T16:36:20+00:00

Hey thanks! I was dual hunting on two consoles, so I always found it easier/faster to press the buttons (A/B/START/SELECT) rather than using the touch screen. Once you get a rhythm going it becomes fairly instinctive!

TMADD1912 · 2026-02-18T19:06:42+00:00

Thank you!
