Official New and Improved General Shiny Thread

[Chloe Cassandra]

All right, so I have a funny story for today.

A friend and I were exchanging shinies to register for our dexes, and sure enough the 3DS servers were lagging like crazy. After one trade, both of our systems were forced to shut off and apparently my shiny Oddish got cloned, so now I have two! I can get both shiny Vileplume and Bellsprout! The only downside is that my shiny Ekans was deleted due to the accidental clone, so RIP Ekans - 10/4/2015 - 7/11/2016. XD

Just a few minutes ago, I hatched a shiny Cubone on the fourth egg, and it's also in a Safari ball! The green blends really nice! I guess this makes up for Ekans's loss. (I honestly don't know why I always get a shiny on the fourth egg all of the time).

 

[Erron Black]

Wow, thanks a bunch for that. Had no clue you could do that there!

I'm now pulling in way more Chinchou than Remoraid and my chain isn't breaking either.

One broken chain and about 20 fishes later, I got my Shiny Chinchou!

Male, Relaxed nature, and nicknamed Ranpu. Now I've got to breed a few Pokemon for some trades and then I'll be back to my Ducklett hunt.

Welp, I really need to post this just for the sake of it getting outdated x.X Hunting’s been slow for me. Still been distracted, so I’ve only been getting 100-200 REs/day. But at least it’s something again!

Good luck, everyone (especially Crimson Penguin, CharlieDoryRose, umbreonfan3636, SheroGH, G-Money, Martinzqx, tui, ChaoticInverse, markasdarkas, RaichuArcanine, pokemaster13, Tina, Shy, Ruru_star, skilax1234, Pluski, ElectricBassClef, and Nakashima)!

So I FINALLY bought Omega Ruby and am doing a Shiny Badge Quest on it.

Hunting for Seedot for my #1!

EDIT:

After a little over 100 encounters, I found another Shiny Cascoon! Evolved it into Dustox, and now all I need is this stupid Beautifly. I've been in this Bug Safari with one forever now, and I've only found a Shiny Vivillon about a week ago.(Which, I already have...) So now I am Dexnavving for a Silcoon on AS and FS for Beautifly... >.<

A little progress made on my Seedot hunt, but nothing yet.

Congratulations to everyone and their recent shinies!

Well, I am back already. This is starting to feel like last February for me.
I have upped my number of Pokémon for my multi-Pokémon MM hunt. I am up to eight Pokémon now.
They are the following: Skorupi, Rufflet, Litwick (the only one not everstoned Adamant-Modest instead), Inkay, Scyther, Fletchling, Ralts, and Tyrunt.
Just now, I hatched a shiny from this group.

A shiny Litwick.
Funny how it is the only one I did not everstone Adamant. Huh. (And yes, it is Modest.)
It has 5 31 IV's, with a spread of 31/31/31/31/x/31. Quite usable for me.
I plan on training this girl after I finish this group of eggs. (It has been about 250 eggs since my last shiny a few days ago.)

Good luck to everyone else!

EDIT: -less than fifteen minutes later-
I just hatched another shiny from this group.
My fourth self-hatched shiny Tyrunt.
Same IV spread as that Litwick. 31/31/31/31/x/31. Also usable. Finally, I hatched a usable (in my case) shiny Tyrunt. (Yes, it is Adamant.)
I plan on training this boy soon as well. Yay for finally completing my high-IV Tyrunt MM.

EDIT 2: So I just checked the Community Hunt for this Month. I suppose that Litwick makes this Community Hunt Complete.

 

[isaacswolf2112]

Currently hunting for Bill's Eevee in HG. Its a Reclaim from my lost SS file. Had a shiny chikorita, shiny cyndaquil, shiny ferrow, and a shiny MODEST eevee and lost the game. So, here I go again. Currently I have Shinies of meganium(reclaim), raticate, and as of TODAY I GOT SHINY METAPOD! While hunting eevee I often get bored (been hunting for months now) so whenever the bug catching contest is going on I always spend that day trying to get a shiny scyther or pinser. Today metapod popped up! super excited for shiny butterfree. Has Rash nature which isn't too bad! His IVs are awful but really not the reason I do this lol.

 

[Erron Black]

*sigh* I really hoped I never had to say this again: I got another Shiny Vivillon while hunting for my Shiny Beautifly. I nicknamed her an inappropriate name lol.

Needless to say, Vivillon is becoming more and more irritating and I'm starting to like it a LOT less.

Trade it for another patterned shiny Vivillon

 

[Dangertrout]

OP updated. I guess now would be a good time to start thinking about the next CH. PM or VM me ideas for the August community hunt. We'll start the voting next week.
Also... Almost done wonder trading all my excess HA exeggcutes, so I'll be starting the next batch soon. Hoping it shows up early in this batch, otherwise I'll be getting pretty close to 5K eggs on this hunt

 

[Shinyhunter1990]

While training my Pokemon on route 117 I ran into a shiny female oddish
She is decent all around with no IVs sadly

 

[Erron Black]

FINALLY!! Got my Shiny Beautifly! Just added a new Friend Safari with Beautifly, Butterfree, and Vivillon, but didn't go online for the Vivillon.(For obvious reasons) Within about 200 encounters I got the Beautifly!!

 

[Bambo]

So I decided to start a BQ in my AS game since I needed to restart it anyways to get the shiny legends.

Pokemon so far
BQ #1 : Shroomish Jolly Nature at 72 dexnav encounters
BQ #2 : Magikarp Mild Nature at 462 encounters about 6 chain in total.

Unsure on my next target whether I'll do Zubat/Aron/Sableye hordes in Granite Cave or dexnav a shiny electrik.

Congrats on all the shines

Edit:

BQ #3: Zubat Impish with its Hidden Ability after 170 horde encounters

Edit 2:

While EV training my Zubat with Poochyena and Zigzagoon at a little over 50 encounters my guess would be between 60-70 since I ran from a few encounter I ran into a Shiny Zigzagoon this won't be used in my badge quest since I haven't got the third badge yet.

Zigzagoon is Quiet nature with Gluttony as the Ability I just put it into it's shiny living dex position.

 

[Erron Black]

WOW!!! At only 2 Friend Safari encounters, I got a Shiny Growlithe!!!! I named him Barry and he's a Lax nature. Unsure what his IVs are in, but it's such a beautiful shiny!

That makes my Challenge Shiny for this month!

 

[razor fire]

So recently I've had my fair share of luck, but also bad luck.
The last couple of days I've gotten around 3 shinies per day, completing the hoppip family, psyduck family, wailmer family, carvanha family, and many others. I also caught a shiny ponyta yesterday, quiet natured and with flash fire, so that marks the Community Hunt completed for me at least
But I also accidentally killed a shiny psyduck earlier (which I fortunately and evidently reclaimed a few days later).
However, today I was horde encountering mareeps and found two shiny mareep in one horde What are the odds? Why can't we capture both of them?!

 

[Mrs. Oreo]

Well as planned I started my next major soft reset themed shiny hunt in Pearl and I'm attempting to get a shiny Uxie to show up at Lake Acuity's cave hee hee. I've spent the past night working on it and also this morning I put some work into chain fishing for shinies on Alpha Sapphire. I'm going to work on those two hunts at once until I get tired. ^^;

 

[LilyValley]

I've been progressing slowly, and I switched some things around which means I have space to hatch 690 Pokémon before clearing them out. I got to 690 Beldum hatched and afterwards, it wasn't long before I hatched my shiny, at 713 eggs. Jolly, with the IVs 31/31/x/x/31/31. I'll train this one up and then begin hatching Gible, and I'll be aiming for one with the HA. Good luck to all who are hunting!

 

[Ryohei]

After 1888 eggs, I FINALLY hatched a shiny houndour.
It's one of my favourite pokemon. Its female... I kinda wanted it to be male. She is Timid, in a moon ball, has flash fire (used an ability capsule) 5IVs missing Sp. Attack..
Considering the number of eggs and countless hordes it took me to get her, I'll gladly keep her <3

With that I completed my personal shiny hunt goal for my team which I started almost a year ago I think (80/80)! xD
Also Community Hunt Complete again! (after ninetales)

Next, I'm gonna shiny hunt for all starters now. I'm at 10/18.

 

[Alexander18]

In pokemon X, I found a shiny Weepinbell while looking for a Ekans. Caught it with Quick Ball. Relaxed Nature and Capable of Taking Hits characteristic. Good luck with your shiny hunts everyone and congratulations to all those with new shiny pokemon.

 

[Erron Black]

Just found a shiny Druddigon earlier!

Female, calm nature, and nicknamed Digimon xD
