Con, it may LOOK like a pre-evo of Herecross, an evolution of it, it is not. Grats. On the shiny though

I guess some people take me literally...

Congrats on the shiny Litwick and Darumaka.

I've got a total of four shiny Deinos. All different natures, two of them bred by me. I think I may go for the entire set, every single nature, all shinies. ^_^ I really need a female now though.

Recieved my Japanese Ditto last night and started filling a box of Zouras. I got around 18 before I finally convinced myself to stop for that night because it was late. I suddenly feel sad for people who have to hatch over 1000, which is most people

Good morning everyone

Well I have finally reached 2000 eggs in my quest for a shiny cottonee. Just a little upset about that honestly. I said I'd move onto hatching for shiny axew and I still might but meh. I just want this hunt to be over soon

Good luck to everyone else~

Well, sorry Ive been offline, I took time off serebii for my bday, but i didnt knoe my best present would come from my game. I was wandering around, all happy like, and i was hunting for a nice pokemon in white forest, and i just happened to pop across a shiny surskit. HAHA! Happy bday to me! well, that certainly made my day, that and my lv 23 joltik also took out cynthias garchomp lol but yeah go surskit!

Yeah I'm MMing. Not crazy enough to just regular hatch lol. I saw someone hatch around 4200 eggs using MM before they just gave up. And while I'm quite off that number I hope that doesn't become me! @__@

Oddly enough I feel like SRing today but sadly I've captured all the SR pokemon in this game.

I still wish Victini could be shiny I planned to SR him when I saw the shiny sprite...

yeah.. im starting to wonder if my foreign pokemon is even foreign lol

 

[Aegon]

yeah.. im starting to wonder if my foreign pokemon is even foreign lol

I've wondered that so many times in my egg hunt. I haven't hatched eggs in three days, as I'm so annoyed at the Masuda Method. I'm just about to reach the one-thousand mark, with nothing to show for it.

 

[Vaati_Reborn]

I've been wondering this through the whole hunt,it's made me switch pokemon quite a few times I've used a japanese ditto,german (or french can't remember) cottonee and a japanese cottonee. I'm probably going to switch again soon lol

 

[Poke_Cannon]

well, at least i have boxes full of timid Zorua.

gonna be good trading bait. Especially since i only have 3 badges.

 

[Kalosian]

Got my first Shiny on Black today. A Red-Striped Basculin that I found while EV-training my Latias.

Spoiler: Pictures

Both screens and move screens.

I am glad that there is a shiny animation that plays when a shiny appears, otherwise, I would not have noticed it as it looks very similar to a regular Basculin.

Reasonably short hunt this one, I would say less than 200 eggs. After my 12,000SR Cobalion I deserved a break haha

 

[Aegon]

Well, I've broken the one-thousand mark with my Tepig hunt. :|
