Congrats to Keane on Silcoon, Marvs on Charmander, MurderofKrow on Tyrogue (sorry about Misdreavus though), TheBlueHoundoom on Eevee, TheMaster327 on Baltoy, Sito on Suicune and Snorunt, Blastonite on Shroomish, Azulart on Numel, PokemonMegaBeast on Weedle, maldoror on Cresselia, Doobius on Pidgey, SurrealistSmeargle on Latios, and anyone else I may have missed on your shinies!
Well, after two months and twelve days, I *finally* have another shiny! Tonight, my Y BQ #3, shiny blue-flower Flabebe appeared after 2468 REs!
It's not the Spritzee I wanted, and it's technically the first duplicate shiny I've gotten (I already have a shiny white-flower Flabebe through Masuda Method), but I'm so relieved that the cute little cherub decided to shine for me tonight! I named her Hyacinth, and she has a Quiet nature, which isn't too bad at all. My other hunts had been driving me crazy today (hatched hundreds of Sigilyph and got up to a total of 900, and reached 8500 SRs for my Eevee hunt), so I'm glad my Y version decided to gift me with a "welcome back" shiny! (I hadn't done any hunting in Y since ORAS came out.)
Next up for my BQ is Route 8, where I'm hoping for an Absol, Bagon, or Seviper/Zangoose, but I'll take pretty much anything on that route tbh. My other hunts will continue in the meantime. In addition to the ones I already mentioned, Reshiram is up to 1800 SRs in Omega Ruby. Hopefully I'll be back with another successful hunt before long!
Good luck to all of you on your hunts, especially Keane, A_Wild_CHARIZARD, MurderofKrow, Lorde, LilyValley, RaichuArcanine, Supremacy, and The Prince of May!
EDIT: OMG... guess luck is finally on my side again! Less than 24 hours after finding Flabebe, I hatched my long-awaited shiny Sigilyph after 935 eggs!!!
You would not believe how loud I screamed when I saw it, lol. I haven't been that excited at finding a shiny in a long time, but I've been hunting Sigilyph in some form or another for over a year, so I'm just ecstatic that it's finally mine! It's a male with the nickname Quetzalcoatl, after the Aztec deity, and he has a Bold nature with perfect IVs in everything except Special Defense. He also hatched with Wonder Skin, but I used an Ability Capsule to change it to Magic Guard so I can take full advantage of his Psycho Shift/Cosmic Power/Stored Power/Roost moveset. I couldn't be happier with this dream shiny of mine.
My Route 8 hunt has commenced and is currently at 50 REs, while my Eevee and Reshiram hunts remain the same as yesterday. Not sure how much hunting I'll be doing tonight and tomorrow, but I should get a fair amount done over the weekend.
Congrats to Iwanuq on Zubat x2, Poochyena, and Sandshrew, pokefreak2014 on Buneary, Shiny Lord on Taillow, TomoEGoto on Tyrunt, and SurrealAndrew on Sandshrew! Sorry to hear about your game freezing troubles, LilyValley, and about the Thundurus mishap, Mewtwo Ex - hope you both have some better luck come your way. Finally, good luck to everyone on your hunts, and have a very happy holiday and a prosperous and shiny New Year!
