I just got the most gorgeous shiny Skiddo in a chain, and in a chain of only ten! He wasn't a random encounter, since he was actually in a shiny patch <3
Good luck to everyone, and welcome to the forums, Danky~
Well well, whattaya' know. I was hunting in my newly-obtained Quilladin Grass Safari and found... a Shiny Petilil! It's got above average potential with 31 IVs in HP and Speed.
Edit: HA! Not 5 minutes after this post, a Shiny Quilladin pops up! It's got a Lonely nature (+ Attack, - Defense), has above average potential with 31 IVs in HP and Speed..... and 0 IVs in Defense...
I got Shinies for Ho-oh, Lugia, the Legendary Dogs, the time, space, and dimension deities, the three weather legendaries, a Scraggy, a Beldum, a male Burmy, a Lucario, a Mawile, a Throh (who looks more like a Sesama Street character), Diggersby, Aron, Pinsir, and Heracross.
A lot of them were gotten through the GTS using quick trading, but sadly, the main legendaries for Gen II and Gen III seem to be hacked... Oh well! (And I have three Shiny Lugia).
1620? Ah man. That's quite a bit. Hope you get your Chansey soon. You too Cpchris, hope you get a shiny soon!

As for me, I have the right nature, ability, and egg moves that I want for my Charmander. It only took a day (stupid Charmander only having a 12.5% chance of being female).
EDIT: For those who may ask later on, females can only pass down the ball that you caught it in.
Just hatched a shiny pichu after only 52 eggs. It's mild with max atk, spA, spD, and near perfect hp along with 25 speed. It also has HP ice! I'll update again sometime tomorrow once I get my long awaited eevee in the trophy garden.
470 eggs hatched now, can I have my shiny Horsea please? I'm really impatient haha. Good luck to everyone else hatching/hunting for shinies, and congratulations to the people who have recently gotten them.
I have to giggle. We both caught a male Shiny Mime Jr. in a horde - Timid nature(completely random) and I also caught it in a Heal Ball xD also got 31 IV in 3 stats but in HP, Sp.Def and Speed
and I caught it a day after you(today), if you got it yesterday.
Two months back I also randomly caught a shiny Mime Jr, also Timid! Mine had 31 in defense, special attack, and special defense!

Right now I'm going to be hunting for a shiny Gligar, hoping it hatches with Immunity! Really hoping lol.
I'm using a 6IV foreign and 31/31/31/xx/31/31 for parents, really hoping for 5IV flawless, but I'll accept a 4IV outstanding if it guarantees me Immunity lol
So far collected 90 eggs, going for 2 more boxes and then I'm going to hatch them.
My plan is now to create a whole blue shiny team since I got the Female shiny ralts randomly, MMed a shiny Cottonee (now whimsicott), and now MMed a shiny Eevee for umbreon!
Gliscor is my next blue shiny
then I'm thinking a shiny porygon, and either a cloyster or nidoking for the last even though I have both shiny already! (I want 4+ IVs for these ones though!)
Congrats everyone on the recent shinies and good luck to all hunting!
Just hatched myself a shiny honedge! On the 32 egg. I don't know what I'm going to hunt next I need to hatch three more boxes of honedge before I start my next hunt.
So, after 50 or so encounters in one of my friend's bug safari, I find a Shiny Pinsir! I'm glad that I got two shinies in a day, and I'm hoping to get a third. Anyways, currently going through a dark safari. 4/32 Safaris down!
Shiny vanillite! He's so cute He hatched from egg 1,547. I still have 3 more boxes of eggs to hatch, then I'll head to the Nimbasa sports domes to level up and evolve him.
Hey again, guys! Congrats to those who have been successful with their latest shiny successes. It's always inspiring. Good luck to everyone hunting right now. Don't let the shiny win!
I'm here to give you an update and post a couple of my pics.
Here's Groudon, Kyogre and Rayquaza, plus a couple of other ones thrown in for good measure!
It wasn't too hard to upload them all at once, so I might add more later. Yeah, I know I keep on saying that, but I guess I want to sort through them all, but at the same time it's a little tedious.
Anyway, some people might think I'm crazy or something, but once I moved all of my shiny Badge Quest Pokémon from my HG onto my SS, I decided I wanted to start a new game. I didn't want to pass up the opportunity to SR for a shiny starter, because everyone would probably agree that SRing for a shiny starter is the most entertaining on HGSS.
Even though I had just hatched a shiny Totodile in XY, I was hoping that he would be the one to shine as I have already successfully SRed for a shiny Chikorita and Cyndaquil in the past.
Well, I found a coolish looking ID and SRed for three days. I watched dvds while I did so and vowed to not switch IDs at all as it would have to shine eventually. I never really expecting anything to appear in that amount of time, but you could imagine the shock I felt as I glanced down from the TV and scrolled through the Pokémon and saw this:
He's fully evolved now and I named him Chompers. He looks pretty funny following me around.
Well, I continued playing through the game and I ended up getting past Whitney and I thought to myself ... well, maybe I should try to hunt for a shiny Sudowoodo. I mean, yes, I can get him in other places and games, but he is basically sitting there waiting for you, so why not?
Please don't hate me, but I started hunting for him on Friday night. It's a long weekend here, so no one else was home, and I spent my time watching DVDs again. There was a point where I played some Borderlands 2, and I needed to do farm related things and household stuff, like cooking food, but I spent most of my time SRing for him.
At around 3 today, I was watching a rather intense scene on the show, and I looked down and prepared myself to SR, but Sudowoodo's hands were immediately and noticeably different and I felt this feeling wash over me. It couldn't be true, but of course it was!
So amazing! I don't really know what to name him, but I've settled on Woodrow for the moment. I think that was actually a name someone gave one on a youtube video I watched a long time ago.
I feel awfully lucky right now. My SRing luck has been amazing! I feel quite guilty actually, and I feel like some people might be sick of me or something.
My blue Zangoose is still eluding me. I'm up to 510 eggs now. My third longest hunt after Fennekin and Zorua. Instead of going for my next target straight away I'll start completing the Pokedex to get myself the Shiny Charm. As I've only caught 299 Pokemon, it's going to take me awhile. Since I find completing the Pokedex rather dull and boring I've decided to give myself a challenge to keep me going, so after I complete a Kalos Pokedex or a regional Pokedex I'll MM for my next shiny. The Pokemon I'll go for will be one from that Pokedex. I'm going to complete Kalos' Mountain Pokedex first as it's the closest to being completed so my next target will be Arbok.
I'm hoping to have 9 new shinies (10 including Zangoose) by the time I get the Shiny Charm. After I complete all 3 Kalos Pokedexes I'll go for an extra shiny as I'll have caught all Kalos Pokemon.
Good luck to everyone in their hunts.
EDIT: On my 543rd egg a blue Zangoose popped out. I'm so happy right now. It's male (which was my preferred gender) and has his HA. His IVs are X/31/31/0/31/31. I was a bit worried when the IV judge said his potential was relatively superior but after he said both attack and speed were 31 I was ecstatic. I did laugh when he said that its special attack was 0 tho. Going to EV train him ASAP then begin catching the remaining Pokemon I need to complete the Kalos Mountain Pokedex.
Well then... I got another shiny. Another unintentional one!
I was just looking for a male Jolly Solosis (with a synchronizer in front) in Reflection Cave to breed with my Ralts so I could create the perfect shiny hunting Gallade when suddenly...
Yup, that's right. A gorgeous shiny Carbink decided to pop totally out of nowhere. I must admit, I secretly wished to get a shiny Carbink someday due to its cuteness and its beautiful black and blue colors. I was happy, let's say. Also nicknamed it Quartz after taking the picture.
But that's not all. I encountered this shiny Carbink with a Jolly synchronizer. Yeah. It happened. Carbink is Jolly nature and has the ability Clear Body (what a surprise!). And its IVs aren't much tempting either...
6-7/2-3/6-7/14-15/14-15/18.
That's a nice trophy, though. I might train it to be a Stealth Rock Dual Screen setter. It's defenses are high enough for that, regardless of the IVs and nature. Congratulations on the latest shinies and good luck!
I've hatched 150 eggs for Hawlucha so far, but I've gotten nothing from it yet. Spent some time in friend safaris too, and also nothing. I did however decide to do some horde hunting while leveling my Honedge and Ampharos...and in horde #52, there was a shiny Mareep! I already have one (my Ampharos), but I guess I can either wonder trade it or try to find a third and complete the line.
Congratulations to everyone else on their shinies. Especially Prince of May, that Carbink is gorgeous!
I got a Shiny Froakie through unintentional Masuda Method today. It's a Timid one...with Torrent. Oh well. My first ever Shiny hatched from an egg!
...And then half an hour later, I get yet ANOTHER Shiny Froakie. It's an Adamant one...with Torrent. Oh well. My second ever Shiny hatched from an egg!
