Congrats to Blastonite on Treecko, _Edu on Latios and Lugia, Rio! on Reshiram, Symphony on Snivy, ChaoticInverse on Totodile, and everyone else on your shinies!

I was kind of thinking about alternate shiny palettes around the time of X/Y’s release. I wondered (and hoped) that maybe they lowered the odds of regular shinies because they were also adding in full-odds (or maybe to balance the lowered odds, past full-odds) shinies with another unique palette. Alas, not the case :\ For the better, I suppose, since the would-be rarer shinies would inevitably be lowered once people start complaining that THOSE are too hard to get as well.

Ah, it seems I spoke too soon! After 7,005 REs and on my 105th RE for the day on my Black 2, a second shiny Axew graced my screen!

This one is male, Serious nature (Often dozes off), and has Rivalry (sadly). IVs: 31 – 6 – 28 – 18 – 4 – 24. At this point, it seems like my first Axew is still more likely to become a Haxorus, given the better IVs and ability (the –Speed nature makes me unsure though). I might start EV training my first Axew and get it evolved to Fraxure, since now I know it will at least be evolved once, if not twice.
I’m pretty happy about finding an Axew over anything else at this point, since under normal conditions it’s the hardest of the three I’m after to find (and if I were to repel trick, I can always use Magnet Pull to find Aron more often than Axew). I’d like one more Axew (along with another Boldore and two more Aron), then I’ll say goodbye to Mistralton Cave permanently. This also kept my 3 main hunts from all being over the odds at once, which I’m appreciative that my games seem to try to do at least that much for me I’m going to head back over to Abundant Shrine now. Hopefully a Vulpix, Swablu, or Cottonee shine while I’m there!
Good luck, everyone (especially markasdarkas, MurderofKrow, RaichuArcanine, pokemaster13, Tina, jrmftw, Lorde, Keane, Shy, Ruru_star, CosmicSparkles, Razorbadger, Supremacy, and Lunafloon)!

Well, I FINALLY got it! After many hours of PokeRadar chaining in Y, and several DexNav chain attempts in OmegaRuby, I FINALLY found my Shiny Zorua (Now Zoroark)!
On a slightly different note, the reveal of the alternate color for Suicune in Poken Tournament reminded me of an idea I once had regarding Shiny Pokemon- alternate Shiny color palattes.
