don't give up after 220 eggs...it doesn't work like that...it would be luck for a egg to hatch that early...sometimes the eggs hatch really slow...it takes time and patience to hatch the egg..please don't give up on ur shiny...

Both the pokemon I got via MM hatched in an egg in the Mid-300's and the first egg respectively, so my perception of how long it should take has been skewed, which is why I stopped my Pansear hunt around 200.

yeah but still if u really want that shiny u would keep going i think...its ur choice thou can't stop u if i tried...im like in the 1000+eggs and im not stopping...yeah call me silly but i really want my shiny horsea...

 

[Confusious]

Dumb luck!! I was breeding to get a Deino with a better nature, via the Japanese Ditto I always use. On the third egg I got a shiny female with an adamant nature! Training has commenced.

Nah, just kidding. Congrats.

Ugh, releasing all my archens is much more time consuming than collecting and hatching eggs. They should've made an option to release the entire box at once. Gonna take a few days before I can start hatching more eggs ><

 

[FairyWitch]

I know what u mean im hatchin five releasing five and then its like a non stop process...but still i have patience to deal with it...horsea is really being a pain but not gunna whine about it lol....gotta keep my spirits up ; 3

What the hell was I thinking, I made a thread in another forum to draw everyone looking like a Pokemon they named for me and I wasted 6 hours drawing them. I may have missed a shiny VIrizion, but I won't be drawing those requests until tomorrow. Time to continue the SRs. I was actually flabbergasted at the lack of 5th gen Pokes mentioned and a plethora of Charizards, Eevees, Pikachus, Darkrais, Lucarios, Blazikens, and Squirtles.

Just hatched my shiny snovy pics soon.

 

[Crimson_Blazer]

Hatched about another 150 chimchar eggs. Up to 1350. I will keep going

 

[Gligari]

very nice! I think I might go for a shiny snivy soon myself. Any chance I could snag a female snivy from ya? I have some female oshawotts, since I saw you might aim for oshawott next.

As for my oshawott hunt I'm about 250 or so eggs in and nothing yet. I'm hoping I'll get lucky soon so I can move on. Might go for woobat or mienfoo next...

I just finished doing more random encounters for Shiny Frillish. I had planned on doing 200 more tonight, but I only managed to push about 100 random encounters. I just didn't feel like doing any more of those since it's exhausting work. I did manage to evolve some of my other Shinies though, so the night wasn't totally wasted. I now have a Shiny Kabutops and a Shiny Carracosta, so I'm happy about those. I'm going to evolve a couple more Shinies tomorrow, and then I'll resume my Shiny Frillish hunt and maybe start my Shiny Deino MM hunt.

 

[PinkPalkia]

The last half hour for the night! Please Virizion, do shine before my birthday! If God or Buddha exists then YOU WILL SHINE.

 

[Twilight Gallade]

*grumble*

Geez, I've only done about 45 Roggenrola eggs as of now. My Gigalith and Japanese Ditto just aren't making 'em fast enough. : P

Ah well, patience is being tested for me, and I do have a good amount of it, so press on I will!

 

[Yatesy_Laa]

Good luck everyone!

Wrong section. This should go in the 4th Gen Shiny discussion thread.

QQ more, no one looks at that one, and the shiny is going into my Black as soon as I get to transfer it, just because I used a different medium than a 5th gen game to obtain it, doesnt mean it wont be a 5th gen shiny.
