Official New and Improved General Shiny Thread

Boy I have a lot of shiny information for you guys over the past three weeks

In the Friend Safari I managed to Race my friend and I found a total of three Shiny Pokemon: Gabite, Braixen and Noibat. Unfortunately I was searching for a Noibat with a modest synchronizer so Gabite got the short end of the stick, or so I thought as it has the Mild nature. The Braixen managed to get the Calm nature and Noibat had the Modest Nature as I hoped.

I also managed to get some luck with the MAsuda method last week and got not one, but two Shiny Goomy's >w< a Male and Female both Modest with Gooey but the female has better IVs than the Male

Finally just two hours ago I managed to get the Shiny Honedge after over 1,000 eggs being hatched ^^

Shiny forretress in friend safari! Took forever to get! Now I'm going for shiny gogoat in the grass safari. I've been trying for a few days. I just hope I don't stumble across a shiny passage because it looks extremely close to the regular. You can't even tell it is shiny! Well, wish me luck! I am sorta new to shiny hunting.

 

[AquaRegisteel]

O.O

...random shiny Dwebble! I was checking a new safari I had added, when I came across a lovely reddish-orange Dwebble! I gasped quite loudly too, but I quickly caught it in a Premier Ball!

She has a Bold Nature, Sturdy and Max Attack and S. Attack IVs...heheh.

Good luck and congrats on the recent shinies!

Went on the bus this morning, decided to continue my hatching for a shiny Froakie, turned the game on, not even 30 seconds later one of my eggs in my inventory hatched, and it was a SHINY FROAKIE! I wasn't sure it was a shiny at first since I forgot to wear my glasses and it was the first hatched one of the day (about 141 total), so I didn't even take a picture of it

It has max IVs in HP, Def, Sp. Def, and Speed. It's Timid, and unfortunately had the Torrent ability, unlike 70% of his brother and sisters with Protean! So I'm not using it competitively, but it looks beautiful as a Greninja!

Ok, I am already on 615 eggs on Helioptile xD, and still nothing, but I will not give up, I even got 7 6IV Helioptiles already xD!! Also on shiny news, I got a traded a shiny Weepinbell today and managed to fish up a shiny Luvdisc
Also another thing, does anyone here have any kinda Foreign pokemon with good IVs they dont need xD? Its getting hard to find foreign Pokemon to MM, also, where do you get the foreign pokemon you use to MM just asking?

 

[TomoEGoto]

Shiny Cubchoo!

I already have one on my White 2, but hey, shiny is a shiny!
Glad to know my file is good.

Edit: OH MY GAWD!

Congrats on all new shinies and goodluck to those still hunting! : D

So I decided to take a break from my Tyrunt MM, I dont know why but its starting to peeve me a little... Its only at about 130 right now. s:

I MM'd Eevee again this morning I hatched a shiny male Eevee at 24 eggs! This is my new record! I put the everstone on the wrong parent though, so it ended up being Hardy.
The original nature isnt very fit for most Eeveelutions anyways so I'm breeding for a Modest 5IV female right now. I'll probably keep MMing Eevee until I get two or three more, for Umbreon, Leafeon, and Glaceon.
I wanted a shiny Espeon too but shiny form has a really weird green in XY when I look at it...

 

[Shine]

Anyone know if the kanto and hoenn starters given in Heart Gold can be shiny?

Yes, they can.





Anyway

If only there's a way to attract certain Pokemon while fishing.....my game keeps trolling me in consecutive fishing.

- Tried fishing for female Shiny Luvdisc, got a male one instead (and the chance for encountering a male one is only 25%.......)
- Tried fishing for Shiny Corphish, got two Shiny Goldeen instead.
- Tried fishing for red Shiny Basculin, got two Shiny Poliwhirl instead, with the second one coming in only around 5 encounters after the first one.

Oh well, at least I got shinies in the end, instead of leaving the area with nothing





congrats to anyone with a new shiny, and good luck to those still trying to get one~

 

[MDS777]

Okay. Either my Masuda Method broke in my game or I'm having extremely bad luck with my last two hunts. As you know, it took me 1,353 eggs to get my shiny Litleo in my previous hunt. I've now hatched 1,500 eggs for Shuppet and nothing! What the **** is going on?!

Coincidentally, these two hunts all happened after I traded my other Japanese Ditto that I was originally using for MM breeding. It's like as if the Japanese Dittos (yes, I'm using several, not just one) I'm now using are all broken or the original Ditto I had was a good luck charm or something. I kind of regret trading that other Ditto now.

 

[Hunter Zolomon]

So far I have 1 box full of Eevee eggs because im gonna be hatching for a shiny Eevee I'm gonna fill up another box then start hatching. The last time I did a MM hunt for Eevee was in Soul Silver, and I hatched him in 90 eggs ^_^ I fully plan on sticking with this hunt. I want a shiny Eevee so bad....!

Idk if I will get that lucky again, but that would be nice if I could. I'll be giving out a lot of Eevees over wonder trade, and to friends on my friends list if they want them.

 

[KittyKitty3308]

I got BQ #6 last night in X, shiny Ghastly in 841 MMs. It has a timid nature, which is nice. I've since evolved it and have it holding it's mega stone. I've also beat Gym 6 and am currently hunting for BQ #7 in the Frost Cavern. Congrats to the recent shinies and good luck to all ongoing hunts.

@KittyKitty3308
I thought I was even with your BQ, but I see that you are still ahead of me. At least I've caught up to you. Also congrats on the Klefki.

Congrats on ghastly! I love his shiny form but never gengars, until the mega evolution (same with garchomp). You were even with me but I managed to get Stunfisk and Klefki pretty close together. Stunfisk took forever though! I'm still not sure what my last target will be just yet. I'm in the process of going through the Frost Cavern. I ev train all my Shinies so i spent most of the day yesterday while I was playing ev training Klefki. You have plenty of time to catch up because I got a newborn baby to take care of and baby and sleep is way more important than Shinies any day!

Anyways, good luck everyone on your hunts and happy hunting!

It's luck, pure and simple, as to when a shiny shows up. I've hatched a vulpix in 25 eggs using my Japanese ditto, and yet using the exact same ditto I had to hatch over 7,000 eggs for roggenrola. Luck just hates you at the moment.

I'm up to 1,110 eggs hatched for onix and still no shiny. Back on Route 3 collecting more eggs for hatch #4.

Yeah, I'm sure you're right. It did only take 23 eggs for my Kangaskhan and 7 eggs for my Fennekin after all.

 

[Hunter Zolomon]

I hope my Eevee hatches in under 100 eggs......but i'm not gonna count on anything. I'm about to start hatching a box of eggs here in a matter of minutes.

 

[Shinyman22]

Hey guys!!!
I'm shaking so much right now!!!
After 2,689 SRs I've got a Shiny Chikorita in Soul Silver!!!
This is gonna start my first ever BQ!!!
The best part,though, is that ITS FEMALE!!! I named her Primrose

I'll keep you all updated with my Badge Quest!
As always, Goodluck with all your hunts!

 

[Blastonite]

After 429 eggs, I managed to hatch a shiny litwick. Modest with 31/x/31/31/31/x. Sadly, it has Flame body instead of infiltrator, but I may try again sometime.

Infiltrator isn't the HA is it? Cause if not you can go to the Maison and get 200 BP for the ability capsule.

 

[Supremacy]

Gratz to Arkygi on Venipede, PrinceB on Litwick, Draknir on Bulbasaur, Shadowkrow on Gastly, Mijuwott on Goomy and Honedge, Xionea on Froakie, Tina on Eevee, Shinyman22 on Chikorita, and everyone else!

Infiltrator isn't the HA is it? Cause if not you can go to the Maison and get 200 BP for the ability capsule.

Infiltrator is its hidden ability, so ability capsule is a no-go.

---------------

Well I'm now at ~5600 encounters for phase 4 at route 16 and I have done an overall total of ~17k REs in this route. I don't think I've ever had this much trouble finding a shiny with such a high encounter rate, but I guess there's a first time for everything, and I think its safe to say that Pumpkaboo just hates me, I don't know why, but it does. ._.

Hopefully you all have better luck than me, good luck everyone! :]

I thought its hidden ability was Shadow Tag... Or was that just in Gen V?

Yea, Shadow Tag was its dream world ability in 5th gen. I wonder if DW abilities will make a return this gen..

[Roseheart95]

Congratulations on all the recent shinies!

I've reached 11,450 SRs for Lugia, with no luck yet... really hoping it will shine soon.

Good luck, everyone!

 

[Ruru_star]

Big congratz everyone on their shinies, and best of luck to everyone still hunting! ^_^
So, I got my shiny Gligar in about 500-something eggs (under 600)
She's now a Beautiful Gliscor
Sadly she ended up with 31 in everything but Sp.Att (which I could care less for) and 17 in Attack...so Toxic instead of U-turn for her. :/

Now Hatching Gastly again, for one to use competitively, gotta get that White Ghost~
I am currently at 1300 eggs and no shiny, getting ab it depressed over here lol, but I just gotta keep on.

Was bored and took pauses in my hatching to enter some safaris, Got a beautiful blue Pawniard in one safari
Totaly love his name~

Decided to go into another Dark Safari, that had Pawniard, Cacturne + Absol.
BAM! First encounter, Shiny Male Cacturne!
Just look at his orange body o wo
And then a friend of mine told me he was thinking of having an all-red shiny team to get through the main story for when he restarts his X. So I went and fished up this guy for him
He'll be a big red beast one day, just you wait! D:

I really don't feel like gathering up more boxes of eggs with these ghosts as I really want to start breeding for my sandstorm team.. but I can't stop now when I've come this far. May the Shine be with you guys, really hope you're having more luck than me @ w@

EDIT: I just hatched a Shiny Female Gastly. Egg #1328. She has 31 in everything but speed...not sure what she has..but I really hope it's like... 30 or something.. Still have 3 boxes of eggs left, so I might be lucky
