Official New and Improved General Shiny Thread

[MurderofKrow]

I got a shiny Spinda in a horde in 1426 HEs(Horde Encounters), It was my intended target too even though I switched to a different location from where I was. I'm just happy I got the little stumbler. My next I'm doing is maybe at least two Safari shinies, then I'll MM for a few of the starters except for Chespin and Squirtle. Chespin because I plan on doing that anyway for my BQ in X when I get to that point and Squirtle because I have it already. Congrats to the recent shinies and good luck to all ongoing hunts.

 

[Serris]

Hatched another box of Druddigon today on my way to GameStop for my interview. Nothing, but I didn't think I would.

Also, has there been any news concerning a Shiny Lock now that someone's gotten into the game?

Finally! Going to finish Pokemon Y with him and then go shiny hunting on X hopefully in a few days.

Hello everyone! I come with more shiny news on my espurr hunt!
but was phase 2 an espurr?

A beautiful red sword appears after 1795 REs and I am now officially a member of the shiny Honedge club.
I know it didn't take long but I'm really happy I got this even though it wasn't my target of course I'm staying
here until Espurr shines. I love all the shinies on this route so this makes it so much better. Hopefully Espurr is
next or I get something I don't already have. Gl everyone and never give up doing what you love!

 

[Earth Wolf-Howl]

Well, a few hours later and my shiny stream is starting to slow a bit- either that or I'm getting impatient. Not long ago, I found the first of my targets- a shiny Corphish. Female, nicknamed Rogue. I plan to move onto Skrelp and Shellder tomorrow.

 

[Sito]

Ok, because I am crazy, I have decided to do a type of shiny hunting each day, for example, 2 days ago I hatched Fennekin eggs... i hate them now >< still no shiny, yesterday i was in the friend safari all day, nothing , so today i was shiny horde hunting, and after 472 encounters, meaning 2360 pokemons later, shiny Gulpin appeared , so i am gonna keep horde hunting today and tomorrow i will poke-radar chain, so gonna keep trying to do something different each day, because I will get so bored if i keep doing the same xD and grats on everyone on their hunts, wish you all luck

 

[Shine]

FINALLY, I have shinies in Gen VI

(yeah, I know, I'm very late XD)

Spoiler: pics

from chain fishing


day 1

chain 16 (my first Gen VI shiny, too bad it has the most wrong Nature possible for a Clauncher, it's Adamant lol. I guess I'll try looking for another one later on.)

chain 21

chain 42

[IMG139]http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll201/Aura_Sphere/goldeen_zps9d694815.jpg[/IMG139]

It's not so clear in the picture, but in the game you can see the difference quite easily, Shiny Goldeen has yellow-ish orange pattern, instead of the usual red-ish orange pattern.





and I also got this from someone's Safari on the same day as the Magikarp and Goldeen

So that means a total of 5 shinies in just 2 days ._.

 

[Ho-Oh the Rainbow Pokemon]

Hello everyone, gratz on the recent shinies!

So, I watched the movie Pokemon Heroes yesterday and it inspired me to hunt for shiny Latias on my White 2 version. In less than a half an hour, she decided to shine! I was really surprised as I wasn't expecting her to shine this quickly. Really excited, Latias is one of my favorite shines. That yellow looks beautiful on her! Good luck on your shiny hunts everyone!

 

[Canto]

Congratulations to Mays, cocoadragon, Earth Wolf-Howl, Shine, and Ho-Oh! Those are some really nice shinies, especially Latias. I love that color. <3

Anyways, I actually have some news of my own. First of all - and for some reason I totally forgot about this until now - while evolving some Pokémon on Victory Road last Saturday, I stumbled upon this guy.

[IMG300]http://i.imgur.com/hnVDrfH.jpg[/IMG300]

He actually has a Brave nature, too. So that's neat.

Then today, I found this guy after I'd built up a chain while fishing for Luvdisc to get some Heart Scales.

Gotta love that blue.

I think I may try to MM a shiny Protean Froakie after I complete the Kalos Dex and get the Oval Charm. I guess we'll see what happens.

Good luck to everyone else on their hunts!

 

[Shinysuicune]

I finally found a shiny Espurr in the friend safari a few days ago.
I'm really excited about it.
Now I'm on the hunt for a female, or another male to give to my best friend ^^
Oh, also, on my RE journey yesterday in the same friend safari, I ran into a shiny Munna...
I wasn't too pleased about it, but what can ya do?

 

[Thowra]

Is everyone but me finding shinies in the friend safari? I've been hunting there for 3 days now and over 5000REs without a single shiny in sight

have patience. ive been trying to RE an eevee in the safari for days to no avail. when i get sick of that i just go chain fishing. i fished a shiny octillery and shiny poliwhirl so now i have multiple shinies of that family. i also caught a shiny barboach, it looks cool all golden coloured.

 

[Shinysuicune]

It's sad because I ran into Munna with only 50 RE.
I wasn't really calculating Espurr.

 

[Rikku Takanashi]

Omg just Omg! I caught a Shiny Spiritomb!!! Iv wanted one for a long time I wasn't even hunting it!

I had just gotten a girl from Italy registered so I went to check out her FS and found it was Ghost so I walk in and literally the first Pokemon I encountered was the Shiny Spiritomb

Omg my second shiny in two days *dies*

 

[Magiclapras]

Lapras still refuses to shine. This Ice safari as already given me 2 shinies I didn't want, it's about damn time it gave me the shiny I do want.

And it better, I have Ponyta, Braixen and Lampent (Which will probably be my first hunt as it's in my real-life friends Ghost safari) as targets.

 

[Nesquik3D]

After chain fishing for a shiny Corphish, I went after a shiny Skrelp. I caught the Skrelp then proceeded to snag a shiny Horsea. My current hunt is doing the Masuda Method for a shiny Tyrunt. So far I'm at 120 eggs, and no shine yet.

 

[Typhlox]

After a week of no luck, I decided to start a new hunt in a ghost friend safari, and 321 RE later, I found myself a Shiny Lampent! She has Flame Body, a quirky nature (meh, but I'd rather it be neutral than hindering), and an IV spread of 8/21/31/31/28/21. Hoping the luck continues and I can get my Shiny Phantump by the end of the night. Good luck with your hunts everyone!

 

[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]

I started mm for a shiny honedge and I am currently at almost 100 eggs. I need motivation to keep doing this.... I want one so bad!

 

[Nesquik3D]

I definitely know how you feel. I'm at 120 eggs for a shiny Tyrunt and I need motivation to continue. I really want to see that blue T-rex.

How did you chain fish for Corphish AND Skrelp? Corphish is only in X and Skrelp is only in Y.

PS I'm a Catholic too!
