Congrats to everyone who has gotten a shiny since my last post many weeks ago, and especially congrats to maldoror on Ducklett, Shao-May on Zubat, and Missingo. Master on Horsea! I read everyone's shiny adventures even though I only make my own posts when I have shinies to report or to answer questions.
And today, I have two shinies to report! First up in Swinub, who I actually hatched several weeks ago and I am just now getting around to posting about because I've been extremely busy finishing up the school year. I hatched her very early on in my trade request because she has a Naughty nature, which fortunately isn't the worst - at least it raises Attack instead of lowering it. She hatched in a Dream Ball with 3 IVs and 3 egg moves: Icicle Crash, Stealth Rock, and AncientPower. Here are some pictures of her!

Did you guys know that Swinub has FEET??? Because I sure didn't until I used Pokemon Amie.
And my second shiny is an RE that I found just now in the Friend Safari when I was trying to catch a female HA Dusclops. I was mindlessly REing and I heard the shiny sound, and I looked down, and see SHINY LAMPENT! I was really excited because I love shiny Litwick/Lampent/Chandelure. I caught this girl in a Luxury Ball. What's really depressing, though, is that my Impish syncher worked on her, even though it hadn't been working on any of the Dusclops I found. So she has an Impish nature, which is really depressing, especially because she also has IVs in Special Attack and Special Defense. *sigh* I want a Chandelure for my competitive team at some point, and having shinies that could be competitive but aren't because of nature or something bugs me, so I'll consider trading her for another shiny if someone wants her. Let the requests start rolling in!
