Let's go to the beach, each.
So last night I postponed my Shiny horde encounter hunt and started a Masuda Method Shiny hunt in HeartGold. I'm gonna be hatching Dunsparce eggs to see if I can hatch a Shiny one. I've already hatched 45 eggs and I plan to hatch the same amount tonight. Good luck to others on their Shiny hunts as well.

Something interesting happen yesterday, I caught two shiny Zubats which were both in hordes. Fully evolved on into Crobat, thank you shiny charm!
Edit: Just caught a shiny scraggy in a horde in Y version. Evolved Scraggy and caught a shiny Murkrow.

Shiny diggersby caught after 1,500 encounters even in the friend safari. He's calm and mischievous, with PickUp. It's not what I was looking for, though, and I already have one. I'm going to continue counting up and hunting for nincada.

Heatran is at 1,000 SRs. Piplup is at 315 eggs.

I'm sitting at 4,435 SR's for Dialga in Alpha Sapphire atm. I swear this thing is taunting me...

Completing The Trio
Yay!!!

So after almost reaching 1500 SR's(hazarding a guess based on 120 per hour @over 12 hours), Shiny Regirock has appeared and was a quick capture. :D

It has a Jolly Nature, for anyone that wishes to know. :)

Good luck everyone with your hunts. :)

It was my third day I tried resetting for a Shiny Mewtwo on Fire Red.

I can't believe I got it ALREADY!

I'm so proud. It's my first legit Shiny on Fire Red.

The Master Ball didn't go to waste.

It has a Relaxed nature, The stats are not the best, but that was kinda expected.

HP: 235, Attack: 166, Defense: 146, Sp. Attack: 224, Sp. Def: 149, Speed: 181

I've done almost fifteen thousand soft resets and got bupkis. Lucky!

Registeel still pesters me. 6000 soft resets. 6000 soft resets! I thought the chances were doubled in Gen VI!

At the end of the day, luck still plays a big factor. I got my Shiny Cydnaquill Crimson on a game with 1/8192 odds after only 100 SR's, but it took me 3,330 eggs for my Shiny Growlithe Jace with MM and the Shiny Charm on my black 2. Also, I take those 6k SR's and raise you 20,500 Chimchar. I'm also on 338 Rufflet, and 1,500 SR's for Lapras from this weeks hunting. A good week if I do say so myself ^_^. I have two questions for you all.
1.Does anyone have a foreign Buneary? Male or Female, preferably Jolly. If male must have Fake Out and Ice Punch for egg moves but just Fake Out is fine to. If female again Jolly would be nice as would it being in a heal or premier ball. Can anybody help me out here?
2.I'm thinking about doing a BQ on my dry battery Sapphire. I got my Shiny Mudkip on here(which just evolved into Marshtomp after I beat Roxanne).Is it possible for me to get RE shinies on here? And if so, will they be the same nature/IV's? Congrats on all these new shinies, and best of luck to you all :)

I was SRing ledyba at a shaking berry tree in Y's berry fields and it took me nearly 28,000 SRs. Just because the odds are better does not mean the shiny can't play hard to get with you.

:D I found my gold bug!

After 1,731 total encounters in the ground safari, nincada turns gold for me ^_^ He's Jolly and alert to sounds, with his HA, Run Away (Infiltrator as a ninjask). I've already evolved him and gotten the two-for-one deal with shedinja as well ^_^ Think I'm gonna train ninjask in speed and attack later.

Will be moving over to a different ground safari now, with either sandshrew or phanpy and camerupt.

Heatran is at 1,400 SRs. Piplup is at 500 eggs.

Edit: Shiny piplup after 531 eggs!

[img139]http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s225/Primus001/Shiny%20Pokemon/073_zps5zdym3ly.jpg[/img139]

He's modest and capapble of taking hits, with his hidden ability, Defiant ^_^ According to the IV judge, though, his SpATK stat is dismal, but I'm still gonna train it. Good thing I'm not particularly competitive... He's named after the Japanese god of the sea and storms

Next MM will be HA turtwig; might as well finish off the Sinnoh starter trio before I move on.

Edit #2: Apparently this is my lucky night for shinies. I was in Frost Cavern training my shiny piplup in SpATK when...

[img139]http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s225/Primus001/Shiny%20Pokemon/076_zpssdghghwd.jpg[/img139]

...shiny cubchoo. I now have all the horde shinies from Frost Cavern. He's hardy-natured, with the ability Snow Cloak. I'll evolve him into beartic once I finish with piplup.

Huge Congrats on that Cyberra, I have never had the luck to get more than one shiny in a day without chaining so that is definitely an efficient day.

I am at about 800 srs for Registeel and I just hope that if the odds are passed I don't end up doing a crazy of resets at like 10000+ as I have yet to have the odds ripped off of me for any hunt.

Okay, the next CH is Mother Nature CH.

Hunt for anything that can learn Nature Power or Rototiller.

I'll update the first post and put up a link to the list of Pokemon that learns those moves in just a couple minutes :D
I didnt actually plan this, but, oddly enough, Regigigas can learn Nature Power so I guess that could be a CH, I might also hunt for a shiny Bunnelby just because I need to try my luck at MMing again.

start to hunt shiny pokemon again in the past two weeks after take a break for a month :D

In Y, got 2 shiny nosepass, shiny weepinbell, shiny yanma, and shiny murkrow from horde encounters

In X, got shiny gogoat from safari friend, shiny geodude and shiny hoppip from horde encounters

In OR, finally hatched shiny roggenrola after 1531 eggs and shiny bonsly after 708 eggs

And the big score is shiny Palkia.
Like i said, after take a break from any kind of shiny hunting, i resume my soft reset for Palkia last Friday.
Why i said it's the big score? Because it appeared in the first encounter, in the first day of May :D

Another shinies are shiny krabby, shiny diglett, shiny klink and shiny slakoth via dexnav.


Compare to Giratina in AS, it still refuse to shine. Reached 1950 SRs now.

congrats everyone on your recent shinies and good luck on your current hunting :)

I decided to shiny hunt and was going for a shiny Zigzagoon but decided to switch to Sewaddle and I'm glad I did because I got a shiny one! I'm very happy with it. Next up, probably zigzagoon. I wanted to go for a shiny Giratina but realized False Swipe doesn't work on it, so that makes my strategy fall apart. Good luck everyone and congrats on recent shinies!

I got a shiny carvanha as a gift from a friend yesterday :) He said he got it by chain fishing and it's actually adamant nature!
I'll train it into a big strong Sharpedo

I've done around 300 SRs for Chimchar in the past couple of days. These SRs take a long time, so I'm probably not going to have any news for a while ha. Now I definitely respect RiachuArcanine for having the patience to go over 20k of these SRs.

Congrats and Good luck to everyone.

Dance like an eggplant!
Not done much in my MM hunt for a Shiny Croagunk lately. I'm currently up to 180 eggs. Pretty poor given how quickly Croagunk take to hatch but it'll appear eventually.

Congrats to everyone on their new shinies and good luck to those still hunting :)

I got another shiny today, a shiny Chatot, right as I was about to take a break and go to the Pokemon Center. I'm happy I was able to get one this time because I went for a shiny Chatot awhile back but never found one then. That makes 2 in one day, which I haven't done in a long time. I'm also going for a shiny Groudon on Soul Silver since I finally got the Master Ball on Heart Gold and traded it over.

Shiny Spritzee after 579 eggs! This is a Bold male (Everstone), it's HA Aroma Veil, with IVs 31 / 31 / 31 / 31 / 31 / 2, 3 - Virtually perfect.

Then, while hatching the rest of the eggs...

[img139]http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/u440/TheMaster327/HNI_0056_zps3ityp26r.jpg[/img139]

A second one after 621 eggs (so 42 after the first)! Bold again, female this time. Healer, with IVs: 31 / 31 / 31 / 7 / 31 / 31 - Not as good, but still, double shiny!
