I was going to ask what you meant, but I think I just got it... I'll keep it a secret if you want me to, but as soon as I'm done training a Pokémon on my LG, I think I'm going to use what I think is your method to race you for Onix. You have no idea how happy it would make me to get it before you. :p

Heh I didn't say it right out just to see if people could figure it out for themselves. If you have, that'd be a revenge equal to when you got Latias before CC after only one day :eek: Lol imagine you getting onix before me, using MY method for hunting it xD You can post the method if you want, I don't mind a race :)

I hope you realize, once you get the egg from the daycare guy, its stats are set in stone. This includes gender, nature, IVs, and shinyness. The same egg will never be different. You are only wasting your time. It's a common mistake, I've seen it many times. Don't worry, you're not the only one to try that.

Yeah, but the way he said it "Take the same egg repeatedly, and SR when not shiny", implies to me that he saves in front of the day-care guy, takes the egg and then runs around until it hatches.

If it's shiny = ^_^
If it's not = >_< (resets, takes the egg again, and repeats until it hatches).

The only things that are set in stone once you save in front of the day-care guy are the Pokemon's gender and ability. Its nature, IV's and shininess are only set once you actually take the egg.

Meh. Staying home from school today. Well, no Vulpix, but I'm training up an Octillery. (Adamant nature, I'm gonna use him in DP)

Well, good luck to all hunts.

Still no shines on my FR. I'm almost ready for the E4. I'll be able to go to the rest of the islands, and really start going for Dratini. (I want to breed dragon dance on it)

Still no Gligar. My cousin called me last night to tell me he is going to stop playing Pokemon, so he is giving me his shiny Vulpix, Abra, and Sableye.

That's cool of him, some people would just sell it back to the game store with their whole game on it.

Still no shines during my training. :(

He caught it in January and now decided to quit playing so he's trading me his shinies and then selling all his Pokemon games at EB Games. Hope you get one soon.

Still no Gligar.
