No Easter shiny for me today to match my April fools one, but it seems like a few had luck. Congrats to all! After I saw the CH I decided to go for a lake guardian instead of Ho-oh, so Mesprit is what I'm hunting now. It's probably at around 1000 srs so far. I'm about to hunt for an hour or two, which will bring me to the end of spring break. It's given me 2 shinies, but one more would really make it awesome. In case I don't have to edit this later though, good luck!

Am still in the fighting safari looking for the last tyrogue I need... After 91 encounters I find my fourth shiny meditite. Meditite learns Trick via move tutor, which means community hunt complete!

Terrakion is at 8,500 SRs. Charmander MM has only begun and is at 5 eggs.

Edit: After 386 encounters in the fighting safari, I have at last found the last shiny tyrogue I need! He's Quirky and somewhat vain, with the ability Guts. I just need to train its ATK up a bit so it'll evolve into hitmontop, the last evolution I need. I can now move over to a grass safari.

Congrats to Ponymon on Chimchar, razor fire on Delibird, taufik386 on Mime Jr., NitroLightingFlash on Latios, Cyberra on Poliwhirl, Sawk, Meditite, Heatmor and Basculin, Shiny Lord on Rotom, Samus-Aran on Regigigas, Skylander Sylveon on Ducklett and Gulpin, Meowth City on Shuppet, Paraqua on Honedge, AceTrainerBen on Ralts, GooberTheAlmightyMudkip on Grimer, Espurr and Ferroseed and everyone else on your shinies :)

Found Registeel in OR, same strategy as previous battles, false swipe and sleep powder, caught Registeel with a Luxury Ball just like Regirock, when the time comes I'll use Luxury balls to catch Regice and Regigigas if possible.

Registeel has Bold nature and perfect IV's in Attack, Sp.Attack and Sp.Def, also a 25-27 IV in both HP and Speed.




Next target is Regice and I'm still hunting Palkia in AS and Steelix in HG/SS.

Good luck to everyone on your current hunts! :)

Well after another 15 eggs, I managed to hatch another shiny Honedge. It's another female which I nicknamed Scarlett (Also after Erza Scarlett from Fairy Tail) and like my previous shiny Honedge Erza, Scarlett also is Adamant nature and has 5 perfect IV's, only missing out on ATK
 

Azulart

Congrants on the recent shinies guys !
As for me I hatched my next MM hunt in a sweet 48th egg count

Here's the info:

I'm SO happy right now, i decided to SR for a shiny Mesprit, after 5000 soft resets i stopped counting.. it was SO mind numbing, but i didnt want to stop because that would felt like a waste to me...

And today it FINALLY paid of ^^

Welp, still no luck with Snivy. I finished my requests (but now onto a new one)
and no shiny in 120 Snivy eggs (bringing the total to 1,585 I believe)
I'm pretty sure with MMing and breeding for IVs/Abilities I'm at around 1.8k-2k eggs without a shiny.
Ugh, don't be a Gligar hunt!

;-; I can't wait until this hunt is over so I can go do other things lol

Ok, it's been an eternity since I've posted anything here. Lets see.. Yep, my last post was on page 817! So forgive me for this giant blanket congratulations, there's no way I'll go back and actually do individual congratulations for all those pages. So, congratulations to everyone that's gotten a shiny since page 817!

---

A lot has happened since I last posted, unfortunately not a lot of it has to do with shiny hunting, so I'll just leave it at real life got hectic and I had to take a break from hunting, sadly. I recently picked up my Eevee hunts again though, and oh boy am I glad I did! As some of you may know, I had embarked on a journey to get all shiny eeveelutions. And as some of you may also know, the only hunting in gen 6 that I get any kind of satisfaction from, are MM hunts, as Im not a fan at all of the increased odds in gen 6. I therefore also refuse to ever pick up shiny charms, despite having a living dex in my pokebank. Not judging anyone that likes the easier hunts, to each their own, but it simply just isnt for me.

So, my Eevee were hunted in my X game, through Masuda Method. Before my forced break, I hatched 4 shiny Eevee, at 458, 448, 540 and 721 eggs. I had started hatching some eggs for the 5th one, but simply didnt have the time to keep going. I actually had quite a few eggs still stored in my box, so when I picked my hunts back up recently, I was able to go hatching straight away. 268 eggs into it, I hatched a shiny Eevee! I hatched it on March 22nd. This poor shiny had been in an unhatched egg since September 14th 2014! The poor thing! That same day, I kept on hatching the last few eggs out of my old box, and what do you know.. 18 eggs after the last shiny Eevee, another one hatched. Just 18 eggs, I wasnt expecting that at all! Thats another poor egg out of the same batch. Two shiny Eevee had been waiting for me to hatch them for a little over 6 months. Spirits renewed, I set out to gather and hatch more eggs. March 31st, I got lucky again, with another Shiny Eevee at 740 eggs. I got real excited, because hey, I was only 1 Eevee away from completing my collection! So I kept on gathering and hatching. On April 2nd, after 281 eggs, my last shiny Eevee hatched.
Meaning my collection is finally complete. I started evolving them the same day, and am currently training them up. Pictures in the spoiler!
Note: I dont care at all about natures, so they probably dont match up with the pokemon at all.

When I'm done training these cuties all to lvl 100 (I just feel the need to, no real reason behind it other than my own insanity), I'll probably pick my Snivy hunt back up. That one started as a side hunt to my White 2 BQ, but its turned into something more personal. I know my actual number is higher, but the last recorded number for my Snivy SRs I can find is 10,700 SRs. So I'll be counting from there :)

Hello all. It has been a while since my last post lol. I have been unable to shiny hunt as much due to various other things but I started hatching my eggs I had gathered as well as put in Kabuto for some fresh eggs. I decided to get three fresh eggs and two from the box and on the 2nd egg I hatched a shiny Kabuto! Yay I am a little more closer to completing shiny Kanto dex and all shiny fossils. Well a massive congrats to all shinies since my last post and hopefully I will be here a bit more in the coming months with more shinies.

Good luck shiny hunters!

...Well. That was quick. After only 80 encounters in the grass safari, shiny gogoat appears. He's mild and takes plenty of siestas, with the ability Sap Sipper. I have a shiny gogoat already, so this one will be making the person at the end of the next wonder trade I do very happy.

Terrakion is at 8,700 SRs. Charmander is at 125 eggs.

Edit: I went back to route 16 to try again for blue basculin. After two chains that broke with "nothing seems to be biting..." messages, a blue-striped basculin sparkled for me after a chain of 38! :D I now have both colors of basculin ^_^ Just have to remember to keep some other pokemon between them in my PC or they might try to eat each other XD She's careful-natured and somewhat of a clown, with Rock Head, and she's holding a deep sea scale!

It's been a long time since I have posted. I've gotten a few shinies since then. Can't remember them all, but the two last ones are shiny Latias and Ho-oh. Hunting has been kinda on and off for me lately do to personal things happening.

Congrats to all the shinies since my last post and good luck to all ongoing hunts.

2nd Community Hunt complete!

I caught this little cutie using the DexNav method. Got really lucky too, as it appear after just 5 chains :)

In other news, I also caught a shiny Magikarp through chain fishing. Was hoping for a Tentacook though, but a shiny is a shiny.

Congrats to everyone on their shinies and good luck to those still hunting.

Congrats on all the shinies since I last reported in. Been a long time since I posted with a victory, but here it goes. A month after the last one got away, and 957 resets later, and I finally found shiny Registeel.

[img300]http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/m609/serpent222/pumpkin/0404150238b_zpsznefputi.jpg[/img300]

So I am now proudly part of the shiny registeel owner club.

Aaaand as a bonus: 8 hours later, and 138 resets in, and I find this bugger.

So add them to my existing regirock, and I completed the trio. Working on Cresselia now, but I may take a break from it for some safari hunting in Y.

The hunt for a gold-trimmed Frillish continues! I have two full boxes of eggs (with dive ball female) and I'm gonna get two more boxes later, but my neck and back hurt from sitting here, so I'm taking a break now. Good luck to all, and my the RNG be with you!

Whew! Lots of luck flying around I see.. Too bad I'm not getting any of it! =[ I'm on like, day 22 for Lileep and it just will not shine. I really can't wait to finish this BQ though, I'm really over 6th gen atm so I have to realllllly keep myself motivated on this hunt. Pretty sure I'm at 10k+ SRs or somewhere around there, I'll have more accurate numbers when I check the activity log.

Anyways, I hope you all have better luck than me lol. Good luck everyone! :]

Edit: For the CH I've decided to SR for shiny Rotom in the Lost Hotel. I messed up this hunt last time on my Y BQ but I know what to do now to keep it there. So yeah, 3 SR hunts at the same time!? Bring it!

This reminds me of our Torrnadus hunts...
I started soft resetting after some hiatus because i had nothing to hunt. Well i started again and the goal is another Mewtwo. I'm hoping this one isn't an adamant one and that synchro will work. This time its gen 4 so odds of modest/timid are better. Been at it for around 3 days now. Fire Red Mewtwo took me around 3 hours so i hope this won't be long now.

Good luck to all fellow hunters and especially Supremacy.
