Tepig was my first 5th gen shiny too! Although I hatched mine... I gave up SRing :(

My first shiny Pokemon was a shiny swarm Shuppet in White. You know, discounting the Red Gyarados that EVERYBODY who's play G,S,C,HG,or SS has caught. I got a shiny Terrakion in a trade for my Volcarona, though I got back Volcarona by trading the dude a Zorua or something. I later traded the shiny Terrakion for a level 82 Reshiram, and so I now have the entire Tao Trio. Hope I find another shiny soon!

Congrats on shiny Tepig! Glad you're hard work paid off.


Just managed to hatch shiny Cyndaquil! I'm having so much luck lately! 278 eggs this time. Ever since I changed my stocking technique all my hunts have been under 500 eggs. Maybe this is my games way of saying sorry for giving me the 8,443 hunt haha.
 
I just got my 1st shiny ever :D I was using the masuda method and was honestly about to give up because of how many eggs I hatched and suddenly I got a shiny cottonee ^^ This is one of my favourite 5th gen shinies along with solosis. I was so happy. Seriously, I'm one of the people who never run into shinies in the wild and I've finally got one :)

Congrats on the shiny cottonee :), how many eggs do you think it took? And congrats for the person who got the shiny tepig :D.

So far for my shiny vulpix hunt I have about 900 RE. I know its still early to be expecting a shiny but I'm glad that I've made decent progress. I'm kinda expecting to find a shiny chimeco first considering the sheer number of them that I have run into, but I'm not leaving this route until I get a shiny vulpix, noctowl and petilil :D

Not to sound like a noob on this thread, but explain the masuda method and what RE is. im one of the losers thats only caught the red gyrados and got lucky once in a swarm of seedot on emerald. -.-

Well, masuda method is the pairing of two pokemon foriegn to one another to increase the chance of obtaining a shiny, which in bw is sixfold.
Re just means random encounter. You go and run around on a route to find a shiny

Masuda Method is when you breed Pokemon from two different language versions of the game (ex: French and English, Japanese and Spanish, etc); this increases the odds of the hatched Pokemon being shiny.

RE just means random encountering, so it's basically running around in grass fighting Pokemon until you see a shiny.
