Has anyone ever gotten a shiny Delibird on Christmas? Because that would be fitting

 

[Cyberra]

I got my roggenrola. After 1,327 hordes/6,635 pokemon seen, the pebble turns purple. Female, lonely nature, somewhat vain, with Sturdy and holding an everstone.

I did get Pokemon Sun for Christmas... Now that I have roggenrola, once I get it and the others moved to AS I can prep for the litten SR

I ran into a shiny Spinarak while working on my dex in Moon, then about 5mins later I ran into it's evo shiny a shiny Ariados, what are the chances of that lol, spinarak is male naive nature Ariados is female serious nature


On a side note does anyone know the odds for type null being shiny with and without charm?

 

[Charoshi]

Got my third BQ shiny last night, about 45 minute too late to call it a Christmas shiny.

For the first time, my target shiny was the one that shone, which was a nice change.

Spoiler: BQ Shiny #3

Really glad it was Magnemite and not Minun or Plusle, although I would have been okay with Minun. Plusles shiny is very meh, and I had a very low chance of finding one so I'm glad I got a Magnemite. Plus it fills the void of the steel type shiny I had never caught myself. Now I just need a ghost type.

Good luck to all those hunting and hopefully everyone had a great holiday season!

After my first disappointing shiny encounter in Sun -Magikarp-, this last week paid off:

*On Tuesday I got a surprise shiny Bagon in a Beast Ball while breeding for better IVs, funny thing is that he was born while I was testing how long will it take for eggs to hatch in Poké Pelago.

*Yesterday, as a Christmas gift I was going to Blush Mountain to get the Island Scan Rhyhorn and before entering I came across a shiny Alolan Geodude; I like cathing my shinies on Luxury Balls but this thing knows Self-Destruct and I didn't wanted to risk it so I threw the Level Ball becuase I think it matches and it was a critical capture... lolll

Congrats on your shinies, best of luck hunting and happy holidays!

SO I heard about the whole Masuda Method... method(?) in Sun and Moon that involves soft resetting and Magikarp, never paid much attention to it, but today I was breeding some comp Pokemon for trades and I had a feeling I'd get a shiny that I already had/didn't need so I decided I might as well try it, y'know? I've been trying to get Drampa for a while now and it's been a pain. So I saved, put Ditto and Wishiwashi(The Pokemon I was breeding for a trade) and the first egg was a Shiny! So I soft reset and put Drampa in with my Ditto and finally claimed my Shiny Drampa!!! I'm so glad I listened to my gut this time instead of shrugging it off XD

She's in a Level Ball, Modest with Sap Sipper, and has an IV spread of 31/31/xx/31/31/31, not exactly desirable, I'd rather have the defense and attack swapped, but nothing a bottle cap can't fix! Nicknamed her Falkor and I'm super psyched to use her soon!

Now that I'm done with Drampa, I can move on to my Sandshrew after I get my trades done. I'm currently sitting at 255 encounters for it, hoping I can get it soon. I don't want a long hunt for this one >.<

congrats on the shiny drampa :3 which I actually heard about this method but only downfall with this method is ruins the surprise feel of getting the shiny but if you really having a hard time I guess it doesn't hurt I plan to not use this at all because I am a very patient gal as it is now going past 1,000+ eggs and resets for shiny pokes XD

 

[Azulart]

So after like 500+ eggs I finally got my shiny target.
In the end it was worth it, because it has these IV"s 31/30/31/31/31/0 with Quiet nature. Perfect if you ask me

I chose for Friend Ball to enhance the green tints in Vikavolts pincers, the red and yellow dots on the ball combine well with Shiny vikavolts eyes too !

Has anyone ever gotten a shiny Delibird on Christmas? Because that would be fitting

I cloned 60 of them and sent them out on Wonder Trade this Christmas.

 

[Atome]

Was looking for a regular magnamite for breeding purposes on the 24th, and was half asleep when I noticed the smeargle I ran into was a little more tan than usual. But unfortunately, since I forgot it had sketch, and had nothing with false swipe or a low enough level to hit it...it nearly struggled to death. I waited until the last possible moment and ended up using the master ball. -sobs-
I guess you'll be my newest sos chaining smeargle.

I only did it because I already have a Shiny Wishiwashi, if it was something I didn't have I would've kept it

I don't plan on using the method unless something like this happens, which will probably be very, very rare. x)

 

[Atome]

Decided to SOS whatever popped up first on route 2, and hours later after punting birds into the sky, my golden girl sparkled!

A shiny spearow!

 

[FowTech95]

I planned to use a Alolan Raichu Z-Move on a random wild mon because I have nothing to do. I then decided to run into an aggressive mon in Route 2 as my victim but poof, a shiny Makuhita appeared! She then became my victim of a Quick Ball instead.

 

[Atome]

Missed the encounter shot and sparkles but I didn't expect the hunt to be over so quickly! Something around 60-70 encounters. It was so fast haha. Now if only my dang MM hunting would work out as nicely >>

Edit: I am screaming? Decided to do some sos'ing before bed and picked eevee because why not and ????

GREEN ESPEON LIKE DANG

[Echo Nacyl]

Been sick the last few days, but did manage a shiny Mankey at a SOS chain of 50 the other day. Going to return to breeding Wimpod/Cutiefly when I feel better, assuming I don't lose myself in playing Moon (once I find a place to buy it)

 

[Dylz]

Been a while since the last time I was here, got a lot of shinies.

Wanted to say that I finally got my first masuda shiny, which is Mimikyu! (12.500+ Eggs if you count all my failed adventures with shiny charm and masuda method)

I only caught a shiny Psyduck, Mankey, Zubat (Crobat now), Bonsly and Cubone these few days with chaining.

So I guess, community hunt completed x6.

There's something extremely satisfying at succesfully capturing a Pokemon who can remove itself from battle

 

[Atome]

That eevee finally sparkled! Cute little silver foxmon
