Currently hatching Snorlax eggs in hopes of finding a shiny.

Caught two shiny Vulpix and evolved one into a Ninetales yesterday. Now I've got Corsola, Ninetales, Pachirisu, Luxray, Gyarados, Electrode, Tentacruel, Psyduck, and Vulpix. Currently hunting for Caterpie and Seviper.

One time, I encountered a shiny Nidorina in SoulSilver and I caught it.

I've seen three wild shinies in 4th gen. One was a Tentacool in SoulSilver, which I caught. The other two were Camerupt and Geodude in Diamond, both of which I failed to catch.

I did get the shiny legendary beasts/Pichu/Gyarados in HGSS, but I don't think they really count.

I just caught my first shiny 2 days ago in Platinum... It was a Shellos.

At first when I saw the silhouette I just mutter "Shellos..." Turn out it to be a lighter color. I was so surprised to see stars around it and I regretted to mutter XDDD

Live. Love. Ho-Oh.
Last night I was on Route 24 looking for a Venomoth in HG when a shiny Bellsprout appeared! When I saw it come across the screen I thought that the colors looked kinda weird and my game must be glitching or something but when I saw the sparkles, my mouth dropped haha. This is my first ever random shiny and there's only a 5% chance of finding a Bellsprout at night too!

Does anyone still RNG in Gen IV? I've got shinies to trade for a Flawless Pikachu, but i can't seem to find anyone. I know gen IV is a bit behind but i'm really looking for one so i can start my HG playthrough. Is it because it's not a fair trade, or what?

I just chained 6 shiny Ralts! FOur female, 2 male. I'm really excited, I've never had chaining luck like this. Expect a few of them to come to the trading corner soon :3

Also, I have no ideas for nicknames. If you have something creative you should message me or leave me a profile comment :p

Calming down from my state of confusion and amazement.

So, here's a little background info. I've been a shiny hunter for about two years and I usually gain shinies through dumb luck or masuda method. The last time I got a shiny was in November so it's been a while. But, I kept hatching eggs and I didn't get anything so I decided I'd trade over my valuable pokemon and then I'd start SR-ing as a bit of a change up.

And now ladies and gentlemen, an hour into SR-ing, with a 108 SR's I've gotten a shiny totodile! I'm amazed, this is the fast hunt I've ever had. I've spent over 16,000 sr's--suffered through three shiny poochyenas for a torchic and then just this? It's awesome.

I named him Vali and he's serious natured.

Here's hoping the luck continues. Off to go squeal now.

I might be people aren't looking for those shinies/what your're offering. I find if you let people choose rather than offering only a choice of 1 or 2 pokemon, you get morep people talking about offers with you.

Just a question. I'm breeding an Empoleon and a Japanese Ditto. The Empoleon and Ditto aren't mine originally. For Masuda Method, does one of them HAVE to be with my OT?
