(I may not be super responsive to comments until after S/V release) I will update this pinned comment with answers to frequently asked questions as time goes on! 1. Why Groudon? -There are 5 other costumes: Roserade, Pachirisu, Kyogre, Lucario, & Electivire. Groudon & Electivire are the easiest in terms of their colosseum challenges, AND they appear to be the ones that can be hunted with Perfect Point rematches! Groudon also happens to be my favorite because Ruby is my favorite Pokemon game 2. I am NOT the person who was in an article about this hunt earlier this year. That was ProfessorTops, and his video on this hunt will hopefully be up soon!

To this day I still love how absolutely "weird" pokemon battle revolution is. SHINY costumes? I need to know what the thought process behind them was for Genius Sonority.

So fitting to see your longest hunt ever drop right before the newest generation of Pokémon releases! Huge congrats, and here’s to sometimes booting up the Wii to just look at the shiny costume, not even believing that you actually own it!

This is the most exciting thing thats been filmed in Pokemon history honestly, seeing such a formerly obscure feature coming to light is so awesome!

"I'll talk about getting hit by a car later" is probably my favorite line from this video XD

This is the most unique shiny I’ve ever seen. Absolutely major props to you!

this is easily the coolest shiny hunt i’ve ever seen. you always have the coolest hunts, yet never cease to keep topping yourself.

Gotta love how most shiny finds end in a chill "Oh dang, that's a thing, that's cool!", but this one? Dude literally lost his MIND. And I do not blame him.

Glad this was able to be achieved just before Scarlet and Violet released, I know you've been going for it for so long. Huge congratulations on getting something that most people wouldn't even attempt!

One of the most interesting shiny hunts i have seen out there!. I think i'll be hunting for the shiny Baja Blast costume myself!

Never seen Matt so stoked for getting a shiny. That costume is truly epic.

Groudon is one of the best legends in my opinion, the scene where he is fighting kyogre, he is surrounded but he still fights, that is the mark of a legend.

I'm a big fan of weird and unique hunts that go beyond regular shinies, and I had never even heard of the shiny costumes before, so massive kudos for spear heading the hunt for these

So much respect goes out to for this one Matt! I had a blast bouncing ideas off of you, even if in the end my perfect point conclusions were wrong :p Congratulations once again, and I'm ecstatic to be in the costume club with you!!

I've got an arbitrarily difficult challenge for you: All 7 shiny Minior. Minior is (currently) only available in Gen 7, where every shiny Minior is black. However, once one is transferred to Pokémon Home, it appears as a dark version of one of the seven colors of the rainbow. It would be super neat to watch you theory craft and grind out the best way to approach this challenge

Your videos are so comprehensive and well-structured. It makes the shiny hunt seem like a documentary. So fun to watch during my own hunts or Pokémon breeding phases. :)

HUGE congrats man! this and shiny shadow bayleef were each era-defining hunts on this channel as far as I'm concerned - so cool to see for both that in the end, persistence always pays off B)

This video made me realize how much time I've wasted. Seeing the dates go by over the course of 5 years really hit me. Even if it took you 5 years to finish this hunt and and you had a 2 year gap from 2017-2019 you still did what you set out to do. I've done nothing in that same amount of time. No goals, no ambitions. I've just lived day after day after day like a zombie, only getting worse in the process. I don't know if watching this video is going to make me change something but at the very least it gave me this realization once more.

its easy to bring yourself down when comaring to others, we all move at a different pace and life can feel like a stalemate for many years than all change in a matter of weeks. I'm sure you've had some great experiences in that time, played some great games. Im sure you have family and friends or good health. and even if you have none of that you still have time. Measure your own success, in fact dont measure anything. enjoy life for what it is and if your unhappy change what you can control and learn to appreciate what you cant control. wishing you all the best Geddy, may you have all the successes and progression to come!

The sheer dedication to this hunt, I cant even imagine the amount of hype you felt when the costume came across the screen, and this was probably the biggest reaction i’ve seen in any of your videos! So congrats on the find Matt! Im looking forward to all the stuff you’re gonna put out for scarlet and violet and I cant wait to be hunting more shinies while binging all your videos again in a whole new region discovering all the new things with our nice community!

“I’ll talk about getting hit by a car later. Let’s check out Ted’s shiny Dunsparce here!” Lolol that sums up your energy so well. So happy for you that you finally got your Groudon, congrats man!

What an amazing video Matt, loved watching it! I remember hearing about this hunt when I joined the full odds community back in 2019 and it was such an obscure little piece of knowledge very few people knew about. It has been really exciting seeing you guys pursuing your costumes quests on Twitter over the years and people finally getting them. Watching this video and following your quest really felt like watching shiny hunting history being written in front of my eyes. Major congrats on finally getting your costume after 5 years and countless uncatchables dude, it's such an achievement!

this is insane, the amount of time, the beautiful costume, the dedication and just everything! im so glad you finally forced terrell to pick out his yellow costume instead of his red one and take it from him. i tuned into your streams a bit while you were hunting it and i gotta say, theres some pretty good vibes in there. again, congrats!

Around the sixteen minute mark you showed a counter. And I had that exact counter back in middle school. I'm pretty sure I got it from a counselor to help me focus. I loved my counter so much but eventually it stopped clicking. I decided that to get a final bit of enjoyment from it, and to possibly fix it, that I'd dismantle it. I learned that the metal bit you press had gotten bent and after fixing it I attempted to put it back together but I could not. Anyways that counter meant so much to me and seeing it was a blast of nostalgia.

RIP french guy who lost shiny costume

I've been WAITING for this video! So neat Matt, congrats on not only finishing off the hunt but also undeniably inspiring a bunch of people to pick up this hunt themselves. Each of these crazy hunts just cement you in the shiny hunting hall of fame.

This is SICK! even though you might not have been the first, it is still Shiny Hunting history! The more this happens the more we will know about this! I will most likely start hunting this just because of how good this looks! (and also to add more data to this interesting hunt!)

bro im grinning ear to ear with this, congrats on this mega grind of a shiny hunt!! absolutely legit!

Shiny costumes are such a cool mechanic. I just wish you could get both variants of the costume, it's a super cool badge of honor

"We outspeed the Torkoal" made me laugh much harder than it should have. XD

I am eternally in awe of your ability to single out the most genuinely intriguing hunt / challenge that nobody has yet attempted. This is one of your best videos ever!

i’ve been waiting for this one! such a fun hunt that i didn’t even know was possible until i tuned into one of your streams! congrats!

It's so awesome to me that he just keeps a level head during all of this. Your content is so awesome! Keep doing what you're doing man.

This video has been in my recommended for a couple months now and I gotta say, you have way more patience and perseverance than I’ll ever have. To do any shiny hunt in any pokemon game for literal years and obtain it definitely deserves props. I commend you, my guy.

Man, I would play the hell out of a Gen 9 or 10 Stadium game. I remember playing PBR and actually enjoying the effort to build a great team of rental Pokemon.

Unreal! Congrats Matt, such a unique hunt that I have always heard of in the past and definitely one that is right up your alley! Glad you got it before Gen 9 comes one, congrats again man!

I don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing these. Your enthusiasm is awesome. Grass on finishing up before a new release of Pokemon! May the shiny odds be ever in your favor.

This was an awsome Journey to watch! I became instantly facinated with these costumes after seeing this and will be going after the Roserade and Electivire costumes whenever I find the time. Although I dont see myself getting either one before Noa Kyogre or Grand Ginger, its still a cool target to go for! (also massive thanks for your in depth twitter thread detailing the perfect point remaches and who they do and dont work for)

Using One Piece ost when showing Hunter-Falcos proof of the costume got me really good. “The Shiny Groudon! The Shiny Groudon Costume is REAL!!!”

This was incredible! I love how much goes into these videos and every time a new one drops I make time to sit down and watch it. This one especially. Congrats on the 'stume brother!

The biggest reaction in recent history I have seen from you haha! Congrats! So cool to learn always about such niche and unheard of shiny hunts, always catches my attention

This and a big man sweep happening in the same night has made my whole week.

I haven’t seen this game since I played it it over a decade ago. Didn’t even know this existed thank you so much. I’m about to shiny hunt in Legends Arceus while watching this!

Congrats Matt! It seems everytime I get a bit fed up with a shiny hint (currently wild area Gallade on Shield) a video of yours comes out to reignite my willpower to continue

Shiny hunts in these old gen console games are really fascinating, I've played Stadium 1 & 2, Colosseum, Gale of Darkness, and Battle Revolution when I was a kid and I wasn't even aware of most of these shiny hunting methods let alone the possibility of seeing opponents having shinies. You definitely have the patience and dedication for this hobby and I strongly respect that. Well done and great video.

seriously one of the most legendary moments i've ever been present in stream for. excited to see if you go for another costume in the future!! hard work finally paid off ^_^

Massive congratulations on finishing this incredible hunt! Finally seeing that golden outfit after 5 years of hunting must have been so intense. Truly enjoyed every second of the video!

This is definitely one of your coolest videos yet!! Can’t believe I went to bed RIGHT BEFORE the live shiny costume!

LMAO dude I was not ready for the mountain dew costume at the beginning, great video, started it off with a bang! 😂

Congratulations on finishing this absolutly insane hunt. I always saw you doing this hunt in the background of basically any stream i watched and always wondered what it was exactly about. Now i have my answers and you have your shiny groudon costume. Also i feel very sad for hunter_Falco. He sacrificed himself in the name of science. He's truly a hero, a legend even.

amazing achievement!! so happy to see you get this after hunting it for so many years!

Massive congrats, friend! I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't miss seeing this hunt in the background of your other hunts and streams. It made everything feel so cozy!

I'm glad you finally got that Groudon costume; it looks amazing! Scarlet and Violet are coming out in just two days, so I can't blame you for staying off the Internet until then. Luckily I've managed to avoid most of the spoilers even while looking through social media, though I'm not sure how long that will last XD Good luck on all your future hunts!

How many wiimote batteries were harmed in the making of this video

Bro this is wild!! Congrats on finishing one of the coolest hunts I've ever seen.

Matt, I'm really excited for your ScVi content. Pretty much just as excited as I am for the games. Can't wait to see your upcoming videos :D

This is a hunt I really wanted to see and I'm sooo happy the best story teller did it, might do it myself.

It honestly amazes me just how you manage to find the time, effort, and creativity to do these kinds of charming challenge videos on both old and new Pokemon games, Even though we live in an age where people supposedly have little attention spans, you sure have got some great determination my good sir, also hello from Australia :)

Congratulations!! Seeing this happen live was soooo surreal, can’t wait to try this hunt one day 🙌🙌

Massive respect for your dedication to this hunt! Congratulations dude!

Didn't even know these costumes could be shiny until this video, but now I think it might be my favourite hunt in the series. Part of me wants to pick up this game and try it myself

so fitting to see your longest hunt ever drop right before the new generation of pokemon releases matt my dude !!!! well deserved and this was just AMAZING

I said to myself "i'll watch a little of this before bed"... became invested to see it through! Congrats!! Such a long hunt, but well worth it!

This game was so special to me growing up. Super excited to see this video pop in my feed :) thanks Matt!

Satan himself must have programmed the rule that you can only keep the shiny costume if it was your first victory against the leader, that's insane lol

Yo congrats on the Shiny Groudon costume! That's so cool! With the DNS Trick it must be a huge flex to Battle people wearing that online, and knowing for yourself that you Shiny Hunted that yourself legit, regardless if your opponents don't know :D

With all of the uncatchable possibilities and length of each reset, this hunt is on another level! Huge props for completing this unique hunt ✨ So cool to see this!

What an amazing discovery and journey, congrats on finally getting your own costume!

I think one of the most interesting things I've experienced with this game is where I was able to use a shiny Swampert in Sunset Colosseum, one of the most surreal things I've experienced. This is an awesome video!

What's next, buying 20,000 Pikachu Plushies because of the rare chance a pikachu plushie is shiny [I don't mean to undermine your achievement though, congrats]

These 5 odd years of hunting earned you a sub mah boy. The dedication is unreal and I respect tf out of it. GG

It's really coo to see all of these shiny hunt videos/level 100 gauntlet videos overlap in clips and to see how good you are at multitasking!

Battle Revolution was one of my favorite games growing up. Pretty cool that there's still more secrets to be found. It's great to see this game being brought back into the spotlight. Also congratz on getting the shiny Groudon costume. Glad that your 5 years of patience and dedication finally paid off.

You actually got the shiny on my daughters birthday! 10/4. And she is exactly as old as the shiny hunt (born in 2017)! I guess now I have to dress her up as shiny groudon 🤷🏼‍♀️

One of your best videos and most tedious hunt to this day. Proud to be an early subscriber of your adventures, love the content

I cannot even imagine how long youve been sitting on this footage because i remember seeing you hunt this costume in almost all of your videos. love the videos keep it up matt

5 years in the making. By far the best reaction on your channel in my opinion. I also have a question. Will you get all of the costumes?

I remember hearing about these costumes in the strategy guide as a kid, always assuming that they were fairly common. Insane they put this full odds hunt in the game and insane people are finally finding them.

huge congratulations Matt! i got a whole lotta goosebumps when you said "here's how i became the 6th"

I am BEYOND excited for you, this was awesome!!! Can't believe we finally got anthem shinies too.

This is actually insane. Makes me want to boot up my old Pokemon Battle Revolution copy and hunt for the Kyogre costume. 😂

Didn't expect this shiny costume hunt becoming as big as it is after seeing GrandGinger's video 22:35 is when AbsolBlogsPokemon found the shiny Groudon costume. This video is really well structured!

Man, that is one long hunt, congratulations! I remember seeing your rental pass hunt a while ago, as I was doing mine at that point (shiny Dragonair). It’s quite fun to see your other hunts during this, like the level 100 gauntlet for the shuppet egg. Anyway, congrats.

Just when I didn't think it existed, I keep learning about unique hunts! It looks really cool and I would love to try hunting for all the custumes someday. Thank you for sharing this!

I've been binging pokemon videos while hunting for a shiny Type: Null in USUM and it appeared within a minute of your shiny Groudon costume popping up at 6915 SR so thanks for keeping me entertained during these wonderfully daunting tasks we put ourselves through. Congrats on the shiny costume even if I'm a year late.

after seeing it in the background of so many hunts, it's done. Congrats Matt!

Thank you Matt for the motivation to start this hunt, a very time consuming, but super fun one! Can't wait to see all of them shine someday.
