Ash Ketchum has nothing on Robert Meehan. This authentic Pokemon Master has achieved the truly unthinkable, catching all 703 shiny Pokemon naturally obtainable. Choosing to go the clean route, with no hacks, trades, or events, the entire process took Meehan nearly three years–outrageous, yet understandable when considering that the probability of encountering a shiny is currently at 1 in 4,096. Believe it or not, this number has actually been greatly increased since the original titles, which had the chances at a whopping 1 in 8,192.
It wasn’t long after those initial games were released that trainers like Meehan, known as Shiny Hunters, began their pursuit. But so far, Robert Meehan is the only trainer known to have truly caught them all–and you better bet he has proof. You can watch Meehan proudly show off his complete collection in the videos below.
Wow… That’s dedication.
You know, I asked someone about catching ALL shiny’s and how long it would take, but 3 years!!! Jezzus That is Dedication Right There!!!
That’s plain fokking ridiculous. I get it and everything, and congratz and gg and kudos and all that other props. But for reals? I’ve only come across two shiny pokes throughout the span of my playing. I’ve never really tried to do this though, I did catch a shiny Golbat though!
: D
Why would you do this to yourself. I mean, I’m a completionist, but to me this is just a waste of time.
Get a life
<.< A "get a life" comment. A typical comment from casual gamers or non-gamers that think hardcore gamers are just losers with no life, revealing that the real loser is actually the one saying "get a life."
Never catched a shiny in my life.
I couldn’t even imagine of just catching all normal ones.
I dont want to be that guy but, while i agree that’s dedication but in my head i’m thinking Fuck what a loser. But yea anybody is a better trainer than ketchum, Even a mental patient with Autism is better than him
Okay while I get your point here and can appreciate it I’m not a big fan of the shot at people with Autism. Not all people with Autism are mental patients. I myself have it.
That being said I agree with your underlying point. Ash sucks!
my apologies Damon I should of said anybody is better than Ash as he gets rid of all his awesome ones by charizard
A legit shiny Mew is pretty much impossible…
In mexico they sell shinny pokemon via Black market.But impresive lots of dedication
Great!!! Wt now? Lol
I remember the days when collecting all Pokemon, shiny or not, was quite the endeavor. Even when it was just 151 or 251, it was still a chore back then because you didn’t have the Exp Share effecting your entire party back then so you could level up & evolve multiple Pokemon simultaneously.
Oh & you didn’t have online trading back then, either.
Also back in the days of 151, if you missed the sparkle at the beginning, you could not even tell they were shiny.
Lol! You do know that shiny pokémon were introduced in gen 2?
There never existed sparkles in the original games.
That’s a level of dedication almost unheard of. To do it in only 3 years? He probably didn’t play any other games in that entire timespan.
Patience is INDEED a virtue.
Gengar is the best shiny Pokemon and also has the best artwork on cards https://gamex.gg/history-of-every-gengar-pokemon-card
