Egg 125!
Sadly, nothing new to update.

My next target is a shiny Charmander, followed by Squirtle and then Bulbasaur... I'd love to have the original three in shiny form.

Congrats to everyone on your recent shinies - there've been some beauties lately. Keep at it, Ceecee-typhlosion, your hunts will end eventually!

Graah. So after 4 hours of radaring in Diamond, I had a shiny patch for Electrike, but I stepped into the wrong one x_x. I'm adamant now, I need this thing caught, so I'm going to continue to persue it. Latias still hasn't shone for me in White 2.

I have 11 shinies, all of which are in my signature, and even with such a small number I struggle to pick a favourite! I'd probably have to say Hibiscus my Meganium and Flare my (soon to be) Infernape though. Meganium is just really pretty, I love her shiny colours and the fact I got a female, plus she only took 3-4 days SRing back in 2010. Chimchar is the first shiny I saw and I wanted one for years, and then I got one in 11 SR's so he's also pretty special, and a really nice colour also :3
Drifblim can have an honerable mention too though for being my first hunt and one of my favourite Pokémon in general :D

Oh erm this is going to be difficult. Well i have 747 shinies. I don't have a favourite but i suppose if i had to choose right now it'd have to be my shiny Latios as it is my only shiny legendary that i successfully SRed for.

Cool someone else doing the same as me. I already have my shiny Charmander and i have been trying for Bulbasaur to count towards the CH but no luck with that yet. Also have been trying for Squirtle before but i will start again so i can have all three original starters (best starter group) in shiny form.

By the way no luck yet on my shiny hunting i have been REing on route 5 for a shiny, currently at 500 RE's. Also been MMing on white version and hatched a box of non shiny yanma and half a box of non shiny petilil. Will keep hatching the rest of these boxes and let you know if i got anything or not.

Congratulations to everyone who has gotten a shiny since my last post! Good luck to all still hunting.

How many have you guys obtained and which ones are your favourites?
Click to expand...

I've got about 15 or 16. One I have is a Reshiram that I got from someone. I already new it was hacked because you cant get a Shiny Reshiram/Zekrom in BW/BW2. But im gonna keep it anyways cause it is shiny after all :/ As for my Favorite, Im not really sure,
cause I havent got many shiny pokemon. The ones I have gotten were from trades and one RE which was my Metapod. So as for now, I cant say that I have a Favorite shiny

Just transferred all my shinies over to 1 game now so they're all together. Just counted and I've obtained 51 (69 if I include chained ones too). Pretty happy with that amount to be fair!
If I had to pick a favourite out of them all I'd say either Altaria or Giratina. Both pretty epic shinies!

I have over 70. I would say my favorite would be Alakazam, which happens to be my favorite pokemon of all time. I caught it in Diamond as an Abra.

Now my hunt for Magikarp is at 312 eggs still no shiny butt I'm hatching roughly 100 eggs a night.

My first shiny was a Male Nidoran, named Bleu. My nickname is evidence to that, and it's by far the most favourite shiny of mine. He's a Nidoking, and one day I hope to get a shiny Nidoran female to join him. =)

OH MY GOD....NUUUUUUU.

I just had another shiny fail on my Crystal Version. Shiny freakin Lugia struggled itself to death. It only took about 300 SR's for it to appear so at least it wasnt a long hunt. On to reclaim the Sea Guardian.

OH WORD I feel so sorry for you Master Leo! That is an amazing shiny, I wish you luck in getting that back!

In overall terms of shinies I have gotten, I have obtained 16 shinies. However, two of them I no longer own due to losing them (Krabby and Bibarel). My favourite shiny? It has to be my Shiny Lugia. That pink is just perfect on Lugia, and it goes hand-in-hand with it's amazing HGSS sprite.

Hunting wise, I am at 250 REs in Wellspring Cave for Roggenrola, and 200 REs for Marill on Route 212. I would like to have a long hunt for once, around 14k would be ok for me.

Good luck and congrats!

Sorry to hear about that lost Lugia, that truely sucks and I hope you can reclaim it soon.

I'm now at 390 Mudkip eggs hatched, been flying today! Got 60 left to hatch of this batch so I've got my fingers crossed.

Best of luck everyone!

Well, after getting back from the horribly run hospital (no ER doctors from midnight till 8am, why didn't they tell me so i could go home and get a bit of rest instead of getting WORSE in their stupid waiting room >: ( I thought I was going to die) it turns out I'm essentially stuck in bed until my kidney heals up a bit. so to heck with the carpal tunnel, I'm playing some pokemon to retain some sanity
Should I do my BQ in B2 or MM caterpie on W2?

Amazing thing happened to me this morning: I finally hatched my shiny Charmander! Shiny Charizard is one of my dream shinies so I finally took the initiative to get one. My plan was to do it during the bus ride to and from school, so I only hatched like 20-30 eggs a day, so I was at this for almost a month. When I hatched 500 eggs, I took a break for a few days just to wind down, (there were still 5 eggs in my party) and then today I resumed it. After I hatched that 5th egg, what are the odds, a SHINY CHARMANDER! I was having a total geek out moment on the bus (I'm 17, btw, so people were looking at me like I'm an idiot). I had to shove my DS in all my friend's faces yelling at them, "You thought I wouldn't get it, huh? 505 eggs was all it took! HA!"

I'm really happy I have this shiny Charizard now. After my horrible experience of accidentally deleting all of my shinies, it's nice to finally have a shiny again (one that's not given to you). Not sure what I'll go after next, but I'll appreciate anything I find.

In response to the question on the last page, every shiny I've hunted myself is in my signature. I have some that I got from trades, but when counting I only count the ones that I caught.

I'm thinking of SRing Cobalion in B2 to complete the trio, and my Badge Quest is going nicely. Good luck to everyone!

Congrats on all the shinies over the weekend. Hopefully that lugia will be easily reclaimed. I would hate to loose a shiny.

Im at 550ish eggs now, so bulbasaur will be mine soon and hopefully squirtle too. Gl =P
