Stupid Jolly Sync Munnas won't show up.. If I do find another shiny, I'll.... still be happy. ^__^

Here Con, rub some in your hair. The Pokeball design hat will cover it well~ People with guy chars do notice that their hats looks like Poke Balls from above, right? :O

Interesting. I just hatched five female Zorua's. What's the changes of that happening? I sure hope that super luck powder works though.


That's how I feel as well. I take it personally when this game thinks it has me in a corner.

**** that, I'll beat it eventually, and it'll be worth it!

I don't think so. If the zoura is as equally as stubborn as you it won't happen.lol

 

[DarkAngel]

Now I'm going to start to Mm Cottonee

aarrrg.
don't say that!
I'm over 2k eggs on my Trapinch hunt, and the only things keeping me going are stubborness and people like Con who've gone 5k or more before getting thiers. >.<

This appeared on my Japanese White version:

Here is the video, another live encounter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1prNuXNn2Q

This shiny appeared while hatching Magikarp and doing some REs in Pinwheel Forest. The everstone trick worked, so she has an Adamant nature! I was using the MM and SRing for the eggs. I hatched 1,147 eggs on my Platinum version in November, then hatched 1,325 eggs on my White when she appeared.

help me out who has a charizard thats shiny

Sorry wish i could but its not for trade...it took me 600+ eggs and a week to hatch that baby...wish i could help...try hatchin the egg with them musada method by obtaining a foriegn charmander or ditto and breed them to get a shiny...it work wonders for me...tryin to hatch a shiny horsea now in black...sorry...hope that helps...

 

[Zalbar]

@ropav: yeah, I know. You'll get some free time eventually though. Just decline to do you switching for a day or 2. :/


@eeveelover824:
Yeah, I am. Started w/ a jap ditto and a female trapinch I hatched myself. Ditto is adament, holding everstone.
Egg production was kind of slowing down though, not sure why, so I hunted around and got a german trapinch, put it in there instead with one of the adament males I hatched from the ditto pairing (it's now holding the everstone) and they're kicking out eggs REALLY freaking fast.

@ArcanineTrainer:
Grats on the yellow Magikarp!

@the guy who wants a shiny charmander:
Go ask in the charmander trade thread, this thread is just for discussing shinies, not for trading them.

So just to confirm if i transferred my japanese horsea from my platinum and breed with a english horsea in black to make a shiny egg...it should still work right?...

Yes, the Masuda Method would kick in and the offspring would have a higher chance of being Shiny.

yeah I felt the same way when i tried using ditto with my charmander in platinum it was hatchin eggs really slow n it was horriable...so i switch to a japanese charmander breeding with my english charmander and after 600+ eggs a shiny charmander pop up...it was the first and only shiny i got through the musada method...im usually a chainer but u can't do that in black anymore so i got to get into the musada method now...I do wish you luck though...;487;

 

[VanilluxeSundae]

Just wondering guys, what's the shortest amount of time you all have spent on a MM shiny hunt before your poke shined for you?

 

[FairyWitch]

thanks for the help...i was hatch almost 400+ eggs already n no shiny yet so i was startin to be doubtful that i should quit but you gave me the spirit to keep goin...;077;

4-5 hours, 119 eggs.

But currently.... 2+ weeks and 1800+ eggs in my hunt for Joltik.




Been trading shinies all day. Definitely a refreshing break from MMing.

 

[Mercurial90]

I've hatched over a 1000 eggs via masuda method so far in search for shiny Drilbur but have not had any success
