Starting to collect Eggs for my 1st, proper, MM Hunt!

I have done MM before, but got annoyed and just quit, but I am going to stay for as long as it takes for this one!

I have collected 90 eggs as of yet, for my SECRET HUNT!

I will post again when it hatches!

Also, sorry about Torchic, Ceecee. That really sucks, I hope you reclaim it soon.


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

Well after roughly 1800 encounters my second pair of shiny keys pop out!



This one is female unlike my first one, and has an Adamant nature which I don't think is really that great for Klefki but oh well. I'm gonna keep hunting here for Pumpkaboo though, hopefully it shines next.

Good luck everyone! :]

Congrats on everyone's success!!! It's great to know that some people are having a good time!

.....I on the other hand........have had the WORST 2 days of shiny hunts in my life!
3 pokeradar chains in their 30s broke when I lost my concentration for just a second! Also I tried to
chain a magikarp, which I've done before, but after 191 hooks I messed up and had NOT A SINGLE
shiny pokemon for all the labour.....
The cherry on the top, though, has to be what just happened to me this evening. I got to a chain of 40
on Illumise, a shiny that I have ALWAYS wanted. I was THRILLED! but then, to my absolute disgust, I got the
"oh, there doesn't seem to be a pokemon here" message! O^O

STILL.....I HAVE NOT GIVEN UP! I will try a last time this evening and tell you all if I managed to conquer or not.

Good luck to every one!

Yaaay! I got my shiny Charmander!!!
But he's like, the worst stats possible... With a 5 perfect IVs, outstanding mother and a 3 perfect IVs relatively superior father, my Charmander has decent potencial and just 2 perfect IVs in the stats that matter the least...
Anyway, I still have about 30 eggs to hatch, I hope to get a better one but I don't think so, unless I breed more but I don't know if I will, perhaps...

I cannot believe this but after 11 days of SR'ing my BQ#1 chespin shone!!

It's a bashful nature but I don't care because it is so beautiful!!
I'm going to nickname Miles when I reach Camphrier town or whatever it is called.
My next target is going to be another SR but for a charmander :)
Congratz on all recent shinies and to all of you still hunting I wish you the best of luck
*May the shine be with you*

Well I got the friend safari of someone who has togepi, spritzee and flabébé in hers. Since I'm already MM'ing for a shiny Spritzee I decided to try in the friend safari for one.
Instead I got a shiny Togepi after just 163 encounters. I barely noticed it though since it's only a small change in its color.

So yeah, I'll continue trying to get a shiny Spritzee ^^

I am nearing 250 eggs on my MM hunt for Mienfoo and no sparkles and shines in sight yet. I hope it won't take too long... Meanwhile got some nice shinies over trade, and gonna try FS again in hopes of finding shiny Braixen (amazingly, I still haven't found a single FS shiny o_O).

Congrats on everyone who had success...and for everyone who didn't: Good luck and keep going =D

I'm also side hunting the Johto Starters in my Soul Silver! I too am hoping to get Totodile (I've always loved the little guy :3). Anyway, I wish you good luck! Hopefully we both get a little Blue-Spiked gator soon! :)

Why thank you :). Good luck to you as well! Same here, hopefully Totodile decides to be nice to us :).

So, I decided to do a little bit more hunting on my Y version before taking a break and hunting on my HG version. Currently looking for a shiny Mareep via horde hunting. Made it to about 4400 Mareeps encountered(not sure how many hordes that is). Now that I also have access to my old DS, I'll probably start hunting on both systems. Happy hunting everyone :).

Congrats everyone on new shinies and goodluck to those still hunting! :)

So I've reached 645 eggs for my Vulpix MM last night, I'll continue later when school is over, I really dont have MM luck on weekdays. xD

Did some FS encounters this morning instead of the usual MM and lo and behold! A shiny Sliggoo! She has Gooey and Sassy nature, I have no idea if thats good or not but I dont think its the worst because of Sliggoo's already low speed stat.
Have IVs in HP and Sp. Attack. So is this one usable or is it just a trophy? s:

Havent gotten a FS shiny in days now, this is a great motivation.

Completed my Kalos Pokedex Minus the Bird Trio. Starting up my MM Riolu from 300 using Everything you can use (Oval Charm, Flame Body, and Hatching O-Power) Hope I can pull this off efficiently. Wish me luck.

Took a break from MMing today so I'm going to have to pick up the slack tonight (200 Vulpix eggs and 150 Tyrunt eggs before bed). I feel like I'm going way to slow compared to others...

Explored the friend safari for a couple hours and came up dry. :( I know that this is just a theory but I've been tipping 1000s ever since I've heard about the rumor. Even if it isn't true I don't really mind tipping so much. I have way too much money then I know what to do with.

On another note I've scored big time on wonder trade these pass couple days. I love receiving all the foreign 3/4/5IV pokes.

Congrats on all the new shines everyone! They keep me inspired! :)

Well I've been MM for a shiny honedge for a few days now and still no luck. Pretty sure ive hatched over 250 so far.
I now have a whole box full of 5iv honedges and have got loads of poke miles from wonder trading the rest. Really hope honedge shines soon since I have a small list of pokemon I want to iv breed (already have a full box of iv bred/ev trained pokemon lol)

Ill update if I get my honedge and good luck to everyone else who's shiny hunting :)

Also I think when I get honedge I might try and do the community hunt :D

Heliotrope

it shone! ^_^
Yay! After only 1058 encounters a cute little shiny male Espurr appeared in the friend safari, completing my Pokemon Y shiny badge quest. ^_^

Shiny Espurr!

I decided to hunt in the FS as I'd just unlocked it after beating the E4, so it seemed kind of fitting to have my final hunt there (and I couldn't think of anywhere else I really wanted to hunt...) Sadly my synchroniser failed and he doesn't have his hidden ability, but he's a cute shiny, and that purrfectly good enough for me.

I'll probably go back to hunting in some of my older games at some point in the near future. I need to continue with my Heart Gold badge quest (I'm at 9600 encounters). But sadly I won't be able to finish my Ruby BQ as the internal battery died recently...

Good luck everyone. Congrats on new shinies.
