Do you have a list of all of your different hunts? You've got to be approaching a record by now, if you haven't already passed it. The best of luck to you, especially for Litwick!!

Yes, I have a list on my computer that I use to keep track of all of my hunts. So far I've hatched 3,601 eggs on 27 different hunts. I don't know if that's a record or not. It might be with the gen 5 odds, but if you include gen 4, I doubt it. The Litwick hunt is currently at 2,175 eggs. The Gastly hunt ended at 110, so I now have every member of my competitive team hatched. I'll probably start EV training next month. My other active hunt, Skarmory, is at 66 eggs. Thanks for wishing me luck!

I think chaining and breeding are perfectly fine ways of obtaining shinies. Hacking to get a shiny is the only method I don't agree with. I've never hatched a shiny (not including gen 2's 1/64 odds) or got one from chaining, and yet I've caught 6 shinies from random encounters, and failed to catch a 7th one.

No, I don't think there is anything wrong with using any technique of legitimate shiny hunting. It is all about having fun. However you go about having your fun well that is your decision.

On another note I haven't made it very far with either of my hunts since last update, but I got this burning feeling that soon I will be the proud owner of either a shiny Gulpin or Unown. Best luck to all of us on our respective shiny hunts

Gulpin: 354 Eggs
Unown: 263 RE's

Sorry guys schools started so havent been posting or huning for a LOOOONG!!! time lol :D
I actually agree with G-money cuz MMing AND chaining is kinda simple and boring . (I know i use to chain ! ( all pre evo shinys chained :P ) )
Well i've only just a couple of months ago started REing shinies and it actually makes me happier than my chain at 90 (on pearl) :D

Oh and the other week my friend got an Action Replay i said let me play abit. When i encountered a shiny caterpie on his HG i was utterly gob smacked. İt gave me no pleasure at all. İnfact it made me angry so i snapped the AR in two. Now hes still angry at me but i think i have done a good deed :):) :P

I'm thinking about just running around in a route soon for a few days and see if a shiny pops up. I really don't know what to hunt and I have a feeling if I tried to RE something specific it would not end up being that. And I want it to be a unova pokemon.... Any suggestions on a route to skip along?

It was SPAM. There are loads of posts deleted every day, the staff don't have time to contact every single member who SPAMs.

Anyway, I haven't done any hunting in a while. I'm going to try and learn to chain shinies once I beat Platinum and go for a Starly.

I didn't say every SPAM post I said "unusually bad post" ie that person never SPAMS

Anyways no luck with Patrat yet :( i've hatched quite a few eggs lol

Okay so I was looking through my ROMs folder today, and found Pokemon Lilac.
When looking through my party I noticed something I had completely forgotten about.
...A shiny Wooper.
And it wasn't through an event in the hack or anything before anyone asks, it was a completely random Wooper. I want to trade this into my Platinum, and then maybe White.
The only problem is that I don't have any way of sending it from my ROM to my actual game.
So I was just wondering, if anyone has a flash cart, would they mind helping me out? I'd really appreciate it.

I've resumed shiny hunting again, apparently for the first time since July 23rd!!! (from Pearl's Journal) I had no idea that I had taken so long to make a competitive team, "lol." And it's not even done! But whatever, I missed shiny hunting and I'm back at SRing for Palkia. 5124 SRs done so far (I had left off at 4906).

If you want a chikorita i can get you one lol

Haha, that's alright. Thanks for the offer, but the only shinies that are valuable to me are the ones I get myself. The journey is half the fun, or something like that. ;)

I will avenge the Chiko I SRed over!! And I'll get a shiny Cyndaquil and Totodile while I'm at it, just you watch! *shakes fist at shiny gods*

Yes, I have a list on my computer that I use to keep track of all of my hunts. So far I've hatched 3,601 eggs on 27 different hunts...

The area in front of Victory Road has some really cool Pokemon, particularly Heatmor and Fraxure. Heatmor's shiny form just looks awesome!

Good luck to everyone on their hunts! May we receive a shiny soon! *hopes next post is a shiny sighting*

EDIT: My 100th post!! Whoo!!!!! :cer_boogie:

Litwick: 2,240
Skarmory: 149 (done; was breeding for good IVs)
Burmy: 5 (done; for Pokédex)
Durant: 4 (done; was breeding for good IVs)

Well, it was worth a shot. :)

Thanks! Good luck to you, too! And that's awesome, getting a random shiny while hatching eggs! I bet you were pleasantly surprised. :bandit:

Well, my Patrat hunt is over a friend traded one to me (im sooooooo lazy sometimes) I have no idea what is next for me though

Well, that was anticlimactic. It's often frustrating to puts lots of effort into shunting and seemingly have no result, but if you stick with it, you'll eventually get that which you seek. :cer_nod:

I hope you stay on the hunt next time so you can get your own shiny! Good luck on your next hunt!

Welcome to the club!! We're really glad to have you! *thrilled to have a new member*

What shinies do you have (if any!)? What are you hunting or planning to hunt?

I love shiny Drifloon too - its color scheme, especially at night, is one of the very best!

Well, I have

1. A Shiny (Random Encounter) Geodude
2. Event Shiny Raikou, Shiny Entei, and Shiny Suicune
3. A Shiny Drifloon

I really don't know what I'm going to hunt... I'll have to think about that...

I actually did a HG run where if it was SRable, I would SR it shiny... I didn't get everything since after a while I could barely get myself to play. But I did get my starter, the eevee, sudowoodo, the dratini, lapras, tyrogue, ho-oh, snorlax and Lugia. :o

I named the character Sarrow.... Ya know... play on words with Sorrow. XD My starter and the Tyrogue joined the fun. Agunie (Agony) and Peign (Pain)
