Sorry that you broke you chain. :( I've used the Poke-Radar exactly once, so I don't know how it works, but I imagine you really have to pay attention to the game while you're using it.

Well, I ran into my first shiny since I got the Shiny Charm. It's not the shiny Eevee I was hunting for, but shiny Snubbulls are cool too!

Haha yeah, the Poke Radar demands a lot of attention. One wrong step and you can completely ruin hours of work XD I can't be too upset though, because the time before that I got a Shiny Absol on my very first grass patch, so the terrible moments even out lol.

And congrats on your Shiny Snubbull! :D And congrats to everyone for their new Shinies as well :)

For me, I am trying to get a Shiny Remoraid via Fishing Chaining, as I'd like a Shiny with the Suction Cups ability. So far though, I've found two Shiny Chinchous, (nicknamed Mr. Chin and Laserfish), so the quest continues.

After Remoraid, (assuming it has the right ability... XD ) I'll be switching to Black 2 since I just found out now about Black Tower...

...and the Shiny Gible you receive for completing it...

...so I'll be putting together a team of rag-tag adventurers, (or left-behinds..) from Black and Black 2 to take that on. Kind of wish I knew about this before transferring all my good Pokemon to X haha.


Edit: Got my Shiny Remoraid, (nicknamed Octilla) although she has the wrong ability. (Although I noticed I already had a Shiny with Suction Cups that I had transfered via PokeBank and apparently didn't bother to actually check... T.T Oh well, Shiny Octopus anyways! Also found a couple level 90-100 Munnas and Dittos on Black from when I was trying to MM a Shiny Munna, so I guess they'll be my Black Tower team... XD

I got a shiny Noibat after only 15 eggs! Sadly it's missing perfect IVs in both Speed and Attack, so I'll have to get another eventually for my intended purpose. But he's still lovely, and I'm delighted that he shone so quickly. Now I'm MMing for a female Espurr, so hopefully I won't get any males before that. I'm at 60 eggs so far, but still going strong. I might take a break for some chain fishing though, as I've wonder traded away the Seaking and Clawitzer I had from that previously.

Congratulations to all recent finds!

Congrats to Earth Wolf-Howl on Vulpix, Keovix on Regirock, Shine on Spinarak, Tina on Espurr, Vaksa on Noibat, MultiDarkShadow777 on Ralts, and everyone else on your shinies!

Oh wow, February’s almost over! Those 28 days slipped my mind and I kept thinking there were another 5-6 days of the month left when there’s really only 2 days left :p The month started out strong for me, but then took an evil turn :x But I still got 3 awesome shinies out of it!

Today I did 500 SRs and 500 REs, bringing Giratina to 17,400 SRs, Growlithe to 21,000 REs, and Rattata to 1,500 REs. Also tried Pokeathlon for the first time, kind of fun :3

Good luck, everyone!

I loved to do the pokethon back in HG. the best part was seeing your shinies retain their shiny color. I also had shieldon named sheep that I used on every event XD I used him on the final difficulty ones also.

Requiescat en pace.
So after a good amount of time spent hatching 634 Goomy eggs(Takes a lot of steps to hatch plus I have been pretty busy so I haven't had much time), I decided to take a break and MM for a Treecko! Currently 4 or so boxes deep with no good results. But I'm not complaining considering it doesn't take too long to hatch. (Thank goodness) And now I decided to take a little break from Treecko and continue my dual SR for Zapdos and Articuno. I honestly don't know what's going on but I need to find a wild shiny before I lose it lol.

In other news I actually received my first wonder trade shiny a couple of days ago, a shiny Chikorita!! Pretty cool

Male, lax nature, alert to sounds. And o so white. ^_^ Longest Gen VI MM hunt (but also only my third, so meh), but still really short compared to my "typical" hunts.

Which means...

Community hunt complete x12!!

I've been lucky with eggs this week and hatched a shiny scyther in a sport ball with 4IVs, and a shiny hoothoot in a fast ball also with 4IVs :D Normally, I'm really unlucky with hatching shiny's from eggs (better random encountering) but I'm pushing my luck and going for another decent IV egg shiny: Eevee, in a dream ball. Hatching with its hidden ability would be a bonus. Only around 100 eggs so far I'd say, so not expecting anything quite yet (especially as my last eevee egg hunt took me up to 1800 eggs with no shiny)

Had some luck horde hunting the last couple of days. On Tuesday I found I shiny Durant; which is what I was hunting for. Last night, within one hour, I found Vanillite, Whismur, and yet another Spinda. I now have six Spinda; which I have truly come to despise. I am considering taking my shiny Spinda team to wifi battles just for the fun of it.

Today, I decided to start MM'ing for another Squirtle. After 8 eggs I allready had one :D. It has Rain Dish, unfortunately missing perfect IV in speed.
Since I'm just beginning I'll keep on breeding for a better one.

Congrats to all w/ their recent shinies, and good luck to those still hunting!

Egg #93 in my Espurr hunt is a shiny…but it's male. I'll have to continue looking for my female, so hopefully it won't take too long now that I've got the male.

Still no luck on my end. My luck hasn't been this bad in awhile, but I guess it was bound to happen eventually. I'm not exactly sure how many SRs I have done for Fennekin, but I'm somewhere over 6k at the moment. I've seen a lot of people get their Kalos starters under 1k SRs, so lucky >.<! I just gotta keep at it though, it'll be awesome when that Gray and Red fox finally appears.

Good luck everyone. :]

I am getting frustrated in completing my national dex so I can get the shiny charm on White2. All I have left to get is tornadus and landorus, but I can't get tornadus to show up no matter how many times I try to change routes and check the bulletin boards. I wish they had an app like the poketch on Black and White so we'd know where the pokemon is instead of relying on a wing and a prayer. I may have to restart tornadus's game so I can trade over my master ball and catch him right at the start so I can get him and landorus. I honestly can't even remember if I knocked him out, if that's the reason he's not showing up, that I can go to the Elite 4 and beat them so I can get him to appear again.
