The Shiny Hunter Challenge! (Part 2)

The Shiny Hunter Challenge:

Have you always wanted to try a badgequest, but don't have the time or patience? Then this challenge could be for you! (Thanks to Kitori for the original idea!)


Rules:

1. You must complete the game only using shiny pokemon. You must soft reset for your starter as your first shiny.
A second shiny should be obtained before you challenge the fourth gym in your chosen game.
A third shiny should be obtained before challenging the 8th gym.

2. No hacking, use of action replay, or pokesav to obtain shiny pokemon.
3. RNG abuse will be allowed, though please specify if you're using this to obtain your shinies -- it will be noted on your challenger/champion entry.
4. No trading in shinies from other games you own or other players.
5. Non-shiny HM slaves are allowed but may not be used in battle.
6. The challenge ends when you have defeated the Champion of your chosen game.
7. Please update us on your progress as regularly as possible! Optional things to include would be shinies you are currently hunting, number of soft resets for a certain pokemon or number random encounters since your last shiny (if you're counting).

Optional Rules:
✦ Obtain a shiny before challenging each gym.
✦ SR for shinies of all stationary pokemon in your chosen game.
✦ Obtain 6 shinies before challenging the Elite Four for a shiny Hall of Fame team!
