Awesome Zorua is still awesome when shiny maybe try a random encounter now could be by fishing or by cave/grass. You could try for a specific type of pokemon maybe a cool psychic type or electric ^^ .

Yes I really want an RE shiny because I haven't gotten one in the 8 years I've been playing lol. It's kind of sad actually, maybe I just have bad luck with RE shinies.
I once tried to SR Kyurem but I got bored after ~20 SRs but somehow I have the patience to MM. Hmm...

Also Swoobat looks awesome as a shiny the golden fur around its neck is awesome. It looks like a true fruit bat so that's what is nickname is gonna be related to, is anyone nicknaming their recent shinies?

Both nicknames are awesome i'm sad i can't think of a better name other than Fruibat but oh well. xD I'll get creative way later so he will get a better nickname soon ^.^

No, I don't like nicknaming my pokes :/

 

[Mijuwott]

Name it something hilariously obvious like Wisp or Candle Wax anything is possible for Litwick actually. I just like its final evolve forms shiny sprite reminds me of halloween

Oh okay I like leaving some of my pokemon without nicknames most of the time ^^;
I need to get a lower leveled sychcronize pokemon atleast then i would only see three pokemon instead of Cryogonal, low leveled Boldore and "insert" Gurdurr

Oooh, I love Shenron.

I'm really set on original nicknames. People can come up with pretty unoriginal and overused nicknames sometimes. :C
My Zekrom is named Genr'tyr. Kinda sounds like generator. :S
I am a huge Zekrom nerd, I love that thing so much. ._.

Also good luck IS with your Snivy! :3

 

[Pamizard]

Thanks! Genr'tyr is a cool name for Zekrom. You are right. Most nicknamed pokemon I see either end on a vowel like a Japanese name or a meme name like Smugleaf.

where do you find how many REs you have done? I am searching for litwick and I don't want to count! I have no luck whatsoever with shinys in my black game! Not a single one, random, MMed, REed, etc.

@gem - was not RE..Was MM and took 135 eggs for it
