JUST CAUGHT MY SECOND SHINY EVER!

I don't do all of those tricks to find one, this is the second time I've found a shiny, completely out of sheer luck.

It's a shiny, lvl. 30 Shelmet! Found in Icirrus City 14hrs into the game. :)

Two Japanese zorua wont work if that is what you are thinking about trying. Needs to be something like German-Japanese, English-German or English-Japanese.

So I have a question: I just got a Japaneese Snivy over the GTS and on the pokedex it doesnt give the the JP pokedex entry, but will it still work for MM

Started my first attempt at MMing today. Going for Drilbur, i love the pink and teal Excadrill. I have been very shiny lucky in the past- six Accidental shiny finds. Hopefully, my luck will continue. I currently have 2.5 boxes full of Drilbur.

Is there an item you can use to find shinies like D/P/P?

No, there isn't. Your only chances to get shinies now are either SR's or MM. Maybe RNG too.
