Pokemon Fan Uses 58 Consoles to Hunt One of the Rarest Shinies Ever

Pokémon fan Professor Rex is using 58 Nintendo Wii and GameCube consoles to hunt a super-rare shiny Golduck in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.

The setup links the systems with a single WaveBird controller to maximize encounters in the Safari Zone for a level 25 target.

The shiny odds are so low that the hunt could take a very long time—or fail altogether.

The story underscores how far dedicated shiny hunters will go to chase old-game rarities with extreme multi-console setups.
