A Pokémon Fan Explains Why He Set Up 58 Consoles Searching For A One-In-Nine-Million Shiny

A Pokémon collector built a 58-console GameCube and Wii setup to hunt for an ultra-rare shiny Golduck in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.

Using many game instances at once and Wavebird controllers, the fan boosted the odds of finding the one-in-nine-million target.

The hunt focuses on a level 25 Golduck in the Safari Zone, where shiny Pokémon are exceptionally hard to encounter.
