It's been almost a fortnight since I last posted I think, but in that time I've obtained quite a few shinies.
5th Feb - Shiny Phantump from a Ghost safari. Female, Serious nature with its Natural Cure ability. Max IVs in Defense, Sp. Atk and Speed.
13th Feb - Shiny Magikarp, hatched after 191 eggs. Female, Adamant nature with the Swift Swim ability. 5 perfect IVs, only missing in Sp. Def. Also in a Lure Ball which I thought was quite niche.
15th Feb - Another safari, this time Poison and found a Garbodor after 124 encounters. Male, Jolly, Stench ability and max IVs in HP and Sp. Atk.
16th Feb - Illumise shone after only 16 encounters in a Bug safari, really wasn't expecting one so quick. Female (obviously), Lonely, Tinted Lens and max IVs in HP and Sp. Atk.
17th Feb - Calm-natured Male Venomoth appeared after 508 encounters (was going to change safari at 512, so just in the nick of time!) (not the same safari as Garbodor). Has its HA Wonder Skin, and max IVs in Attack and Speed.
20th Feb - This one was a nightmare to catch. Impish-natured Shiny Metang, after 123 encounters in a Steel safari. Paralyzed, unfortunately didn't have a False Swipe-r with me, so was sat there for a good 20 minutes chucking PokéBalls at it (just over 2 chance per ball), until it finally caught. Light Metal ability, with max IVs in Sp. Atk and Sp. Def.
22nd Feb - Female Shiny Dedenne after 271 encounters in an Electric safari. Pickup ability, which isn't too bad, with a Jolly nature and max IVs in Sp. Def and Speed.
23rd Feb - To go with Phantump, I decided to try my luck at finding a Shiny Pumpkaboo in a Ghost safari. Which I found, 185 encounters later. Jolly Female, with its HA Insomnia and max IVs in Attack and Defense.
Yesterday - Decided to power through a Fire safari in order to get the Shiny Ponyta I was trying to find a few months ago. First Shiny was a male Slugma after 329 encounters, and 426 encounters after that, I finally got the blue-flamed horse! Has its HA Flame Body, max IVs in Defense and Speed with a Jolly nature, while the Slugma has its HA as well (Weak Armor), also Jolly, but with max IVs in HP and Attack. The Slugma also means Community Hunt Complete!
I'm currently on Route 20 giving Horde Hunting a go (chain fishing sounds so easy, but I can't for the life of me get it right). Sitting at around 300 hordes so far, hoping for Trevenant to go with my Phantump (Sudowoodo would be great too, but considering I'm playing X, I doubt that'll be the one that shines). Once found, it'll complete my first full PC box of self-caught/obtained Shinies! Good luck to all others out there hunting.
