October has been my best month for shiny pokemon. I returned from India about 4 weeks ago and on the first friday back i chained 3 shiny Sentrets. The first one i am positive is a random encounter 1/8192 as when it appeared on the 5th chain the patch i found it in didn't sparkle it was just a normal patch. The chain ended at 83 after i caught two more at 41 and 77
.
The next morning i chained in the same patch on route 202 and i caught two shiny Shinx, the first on the 40th patch and i kept resetting until a female appeared. Both of these chains were the first ones that i attempted so booya!
The next weekend on the sunday i spent ALL DAY chaining Pinsir. I'd gotten to 40 before however it was really late and my tiredness made my thumb slip on an Ariados, so i've been determined to get a Pinsir since then. So they were swarming, i first caught an adamant synch ralts then went to chain. They kept breaking because i went out of range apparently which is bull because half the time i was not out of range! Eventually i got to 40 and started resetting. Soon a female shiny Pinsir appeared and the synch worked! However i could not continue for a mould breaker one because i forgot to take my synchroniser off the top of the team and the repel didn't work.
Oh and i have obtained 2 lucky eggs this month aswell! =P
The best thing to ever happen happened this month aswell, last week in fact. I finally found a female Charmander on the gts and she is japanese, so i paired her up with my Feebas for the 31 sp attack ivs the feebas has to be passed down to the young in my attempt to masuda method. The first one that hatched was a female <_< You have no idea how long i bred charmanders with ditto to get a female and got nothing! Anyway after 2 batches of 5 i decided to stop for a while as i know how long it can take to get a shiny through breeding so i was going to continue in a few months after i'd done other things. Of course after the second batch had hatched there was one egg left with the daycare man so i collected it then got my pokes out of daycare and then got my shiny Ponyta and one of my Sentrets and proceeded to ev train them in speed. So i was chianing starlys and after training i had 32 chained so i kept going until i got to 40. So i'm resetting the radar and it's taking it's time to sparkle then my egg starts to hatch. I had totally forgotten about it, as in i had no idea i had it after all the ev training! Already contented that i'm on my way to a shiny starly i'm barely paying attention to the charmander as i'm assuming it's not shiny.
So you can imagine the sheer shock when a yellow/gold Charmander is dancing around where the egg was. =O I must've stared at it for a whole minute before pressing A and then checking the stats. I've checked it further and found out the 31 iv in special attack has been passed on to it xD but it is Gentle natured so it will not get the full benefits of this iv but it's also the same nature as my Charizard from Leaf Green =P which is cool. I'm so happy and on the eleventh egg that is damn lucky and totally unexpected!
Of course after further resetting (took a wee while actually) shiny Starly eventually appeared! xD Worst ivs in history but like I care, i'm not going to use it in competitions or anything.
So yeah... best month ever for pokemon! It's also my favourite time of the year in general!
EDIT: If i trade an egg over to my bf's game and i know there's a shiny inside will it still be shiny when it hatches in his game?
