I still haven't been able to touch Pokémon X/Y, so I apologise in advance for not addressing anyone in particular with the paragraph that follows this one; I'm trying to avoid spoilers to the max. In fact, I'll probably only be able to read the replies to this once I get a fair bit into it, but it felt wrong to hold off good news!
With no further ado:
Congratulations to the ones who have obtained Shinies since the last time I checked the thread! Old and new generations, less and more time-consuming methods - the glitter keeps being pumped out and a lot of you have your perseverance (and multiple consoles - got to love backups/doubles and friends/family's devices) to thank. Good job!
I've been taking the last day or two off from my never-ending spree of hatching a non-Masuda, high-IV Shiny Nincada on my SS and a Masuda, hopefully high-IV Shiny Roggenrola on my Black by, well, hatching
more eggs with the sole intent of building a Double Battle team for the HGSS Battle Frontier. I got lucky and acquired the desired Cubone with just over a day of effort. After getting it to become a Lvl 50 Marowak, I moved onto my Ralts breeding, starting with passing down an Egg Move (Shadow Sneak) from my (coincidentally) Japanese Duskull to English Ralts hatchlings.
I think you know where I'm going with this. On the
fifth egg, my absentminded self did not at all expect what was showing on the screen.
Here's the
Pokécheck link to Vandria, my Shiny
Ralts Gardevoir.
With all that said, good luck on your hunts, fellows! I will be seeing you whenever I enter the magical world of 3D Pokémon.
Until then,
Shine on!
EDIT: Oh wow, Pokécheck actually assumed the Ralts as RNG abused because it hatched so quickly! (Clarification: I had finished levelling my Marowak through the E4, so the game having recently soft resetted sent it into a brand new seed)
