Guys I DID NOT MM my shiny Spiritomb and it only took 9 eggs! It's amazing!
 
Oh, boy... I was looking for Hidden Hollow pokemon on GTS. Some guy offered a mienfoo for a shroomish and I gave a try. Whe I was breeding my breloom... BANG!

Shiny shroomish at the 4th egg! Unexpected, really. My second unexpected shiny in White in an year, after shiny snorunt!

Oh, yeah, the mienfoo wasn't a reckless one... ¬¬"
Was it MMed?
 
So is mine like the shortest non-MMed shiny Spiritomb in Diamond or something?
 
Ha ha very funny. But seriously it wasn't MMed.

Good work on the new shinies guys. Let's hope that good luck rubs off!

Best of luck on SRing that Chimchar, over 10k would have driven me to insanity by now so let's hope yours shines soon!

I seriously got a shiny Eevee today after just seven eggs? Wow...
Time to train it into that awesome shiny Umbreon I've always wanted! :)

Then I'm off to get my light orange Torchic!

After I get a foreign Ditto (or Audino) I will start MM'ing Audinos. I'm horrible at noticing patches of shaking grass so I guess I will try to breed a shiny.
So far I haven't seen a shiny in Pearl or White during my 250+ hours of gameplay.

As my sig says, I'm currently at 600+ eggs and still no shiny.
Checking his shiny sprite isn't helping either :p.

I know, I'm exactly the same. I'll be patiently hatching eggs and then look at the shiny just to remember what I'm looking for and suddenly I get the shiny hunting fever!

Only at 30 eggs in my Charmander 1 hunt so still a long way to go. After my last short one, I'm expecting one in the thousands now.

Just caught shiny sandile of all shiny pokemon sadness descends upon me. Any other shiny would have been better. I am going on a Shiny Sandshrew hunt!
