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 CATCH EVERY POKEMO...  

Thanks for watching as always!
