~>{*Shiny Hunters Club}<~

[G-Money]

10,225 Icefall Cave encounters.
222 Spiritomb (yes, another step in my quest to get every Ghost shiny).
150 Chimchar. These take an awfully long time, so I might try breeding to see if that's faster.

Wow, that is really lucky! Way to reclaim your shiny Lillipup, haha. Welcome to the club!

You can hunt however you'd like, and Rumble shinies are fine! That's a nice collection you have there.

[DACALSTA]

[G-Money]

Happy New Year!

You know what this means? It's time for the 2012 Yearly Quest!

Objectives:

1) Obtain a shiny starter (Begin the journey!)
2) Obtain a shiny via encountering (The shiny hunter!)
3) Obtain a shiny from an egg (The shiny master!)
4) Obtain a shiny legendary (The shiny legend!)
5) Obtain a shiny Dragon (Year of the Dragon!)

These can be done in any order. The shinies must be obtained by yourself, and no chaining or hacking is allowed. Have fun!

Also, January means a new Monthly Quest! Since nobody finished last month, we're going to try moving it down to two targets this time.

January Quest 2012:

1) Obtain a shiny starter (Welcome to the new year!)
2) Obtain an Ice-type shiny (A Winter Wonderland!)

Like the Yearly Quest, these can be done in any order. The shinies must be obtained by yourself, and no chaining or hacking is allowed. Have fun!

Of course! And haha, it's called "Rumble Blast" where I live! I had no idea what that acronym meant! :cer_laugh:

I hope everyone has an awesome 2012 with lots of shinies!

[ShinySearcher01]

165 Rogenrolla. Going slower than I expected.

@G-money, are the January and yearly starter hunts separate?
as in, if I get a shiny starter, does it count for both?
And by ''Encounter'' do you mean RE's?

Yes, the yearly and monthly quests are separate. At the end of each month, you get to pick which one you want your shinies to count for. I'll edit the first post to clarify this.

And encounter can either be an RE or randomly seeing a shiny in the wild. As long as it's in grass/water/a cave, you're good to go!

Good luck!

[ShinySearcher01]

SHINY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MY FIRST COMPLETED HUNT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The 'Oh' that pops up when an egg hatches appeared,
and i took my notebook to tally it, and when i came back, on the 180th egg, at 1:03 PM,
Shiny Roggenrola! Lonely nature.

(Sorry I can't post pics, not enough posts)

As my first complete hunt, this is pretty special.
And that it qualifies for the yearly quest (hatch a shiny from an egg)
is pretty cool too.

G-money:

Good Luck!

Thanks so much! this must have done it
Next hunt: MM'ing Zorua or Tepig (can't decide)

[Arceus Whisper]

SHINY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MY FIRST COMPLETED HUNT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats Shinysearcher the first shiny of the new year, and for which hunt to pursue next they're both great shinies.

I want to make sure my understanding of roaming legendaries is correct let's assume that I haven't encountered the legendary before if i save before I enter the grass, then I enter and it shows up and its NOT shiny then i SR and then track it down again and then repeat the process until its shiny. After I encounter it shiny it can run away and the next time I see it, it will be shiny am I correct?
Also count me in on the 2012 Yearly Quest, my first shiny target will be Axew (as soon as I beat the E4)

Thanks!
And yes, that's how you would do it.
If you see it shiny, it will stay that way,
just be sure to save RIGHT after the encounter.

---EDIT---
I decided to breed for Torchic
(just beat red in SS, so got my hoenn
starter.) and will it count for the yearly quest?
It is a starter, but I obtained it by breeding.

[Latios Master]

Happy New Year!

Welcome to the club, Popsicle!

Congrats on the shiny Roggenrola, ShinySearcher01! Yes, breeding Torchic will count.

This week's random hunt is... Tyrogue!

I'm currently MMing for Litwick, Charmander, Dratini, and Cyndaquil.

[crystalzapdos]

I would like to join!

I used to hunt shinys, but then I stopped, but for whatever reason I'm getting back into it again.

My Shinys are:
Raikou (Event)
Suicune (Event)
Entei (Event)
Gyrados (Lake of Rage)
Tangrowth (865 RE's)
Dugtrio (Random)
Primeape (Random)

And I'm hunting:
Whismer- about 3,000 RE's
Rayquaza- about 500 SR's
Litwick- about 100 RE's

I may turn Litwick into a MM hunt if I can get a Litwick from another country. Also, I'm mainly trying to get Whismer.

The thing that got me into hunting shinys was when I found two random shinys (Primeape and Dugtrio) in one day. That made me realize how awesome shinys are.

Hey, I can maybe (depending on how my connection works out)
give you a french litwick tommorow. (my friend is coming over,
he has a french game) or I could clone you a japanese ditto.

PM me.

[Keruso]

posting to say that im still alive and well

haven't gotten me a shiny in a while, but i am hunting Charmander on my Leafgreen still. It's kinda gotten me back into hunting, but i mainly only hunt when im either at my grandparents or at bowling, so who knows when i'll get it. Congrats on the Beldum and ......whatever else you had, G.

also still waiting on that PM G was gonna send me about a website

[G-Money]

I was hunting Eevee before switching over to Hitmonchan, and it's my last shiny target before beating the Elite 4, getting all the legendaries and TMs, and starting SRing on FR for real! Charmander, Squirtle, all the legendaries... Eevee would really open up a lot of future hunts!

55 Eevee.

What ShinySearcher01 said about it staying shiny after you first find it is true. You need to be careful about when you save, though. For R/S, you should save after you beat the Elite 4 but before you go downstairs to watch the TV. I think that in FR/LG the shininess of the beasts is set even earlier, but I'm not sure exactly when. In 4th gen, I think you'll be safe saving before encountering/setting them free and then tracking them down.

Hmm, I was absolutely certain that I sent it to you... Oh well, I'll try again. Sorry about that!

Thanks for the congrats!

[It's Just Fufu]

Hey everyone.

Just dropping in to say that I've FINALLY ended my dry spell. A few hours ago, a shiny Staryu appeared on my Black version. It was 19,137th pokemon on this quest for Staryu. My hunt spanned across three generations of Pokemon games! It has a Timid nature thanks to my Synchronize Abra, and it also has Natural Cure. It is truly perfect in my eyes.

Pics will come tomorrow. Good luck to everyone else!

"My god, over a year. Has it been that long since I last laid eyes upon this place?"

All jokery aside, I used to be a member of this club although as the above little skit pointed out, haven't been here for over a year. (Due in a rather major part to me almost completely falling out of love with any and all pokemon games up until just recently)

Some of you may know me, some may not, I was at one point a (somewhat veteran) member of the shiny club over at the serebiiforums under the name ScorpionX, But I have gone by other names both there and here. (VenomX, Lord Danswich, Vladimir Makarov during a Call of Duty obsession etc) But having read through this thread and noticing that the club has undergone a ownership change I feel it only right to reapply for membership status in this club if you will have me.

Also, I really must get back into shiny hunting, my last was a hatched luvdisc before black and white were released.

[Dratizard]

I recently got an account at a pokemon website that includes shiny hunting. Will that count or is it just official games?

[Razer302]

We only include the official games.

Well since the new year has started I have done loads of hunting. I am trying to get a starter for the year and work from there. After that I want Virizion, Terrakion and Cobalion. Would love the full set.

[Kat10089]

I'm getting really bored with Cindaquils hunt. I have gotten to 20,000 SR's because I have been SRing almost 24/7 lately. I wish I had a Japansese Ditto or some other language Ditto so I could MM cause I don't like seeing the same things constantly. :/

[Vladimir Makarov]

What is this I don't even...

Ok so first off, I haven't played any pokemon game in any real capacity for months, sure I'd pick it up every now and then but i'd largely gone off the pokemon games completely.

I had been talked into getting a new copy of pokemon white today by two friends so I could join them in a pokemon championship tournament being held over here in a few months, so I figured if I'm going to get back into the pokemon games again (something which actually excited me to think about ) why not get back into shiny hunting too? To which end I restarted my japanese sapphire and started to play through it and eventually get to and soft reset for a shiny Regice so I could complete the regi quartet.

I was on route 102 looking for a female surskit to use throughout my game and at the same time use it as a sleep powder pokemon for Regice. While encountering pokemon I was talking to a friend on msn and watching a DVD so I had the sound down on my SP and was only glancing at the screen now and then to see if I had a female surskit.

After not paying attention to the screen for a few minutes I looked down to see this.

(Hmm, apparently the picture I tried to upload won't show so I guess it'll have to be a video)

Newest shiny

Talk about lucky, first day back to shiny hunting and I find this beauty. I'm so glad I restarted the file and made a new one, and just before this I reset the game after finding a male surskit that I wasn't satisfied with :D The reason I don't have a video of the encounter is just because I was so shocked at seeing the little guy that i just wanted to catch it before my GBA ran out of power, and I was worried about knocking the SP and freezing the game

I'm back with a bang, and I need to redo my shiny sig.

Sorry about the wall of text guys.

[ShinySearcher01]

Hey, Just showing i'm still around.
No shinies since roggenrola, but have a bad cold and
haven't been hunting much. Decided to pause torchic and
start encountering in dragonspiral tower, but only 35 encounters.
It goes a LOT faster then egg hatching!

[NightOfRemorse]

Congrats on the shinies, guys! :D
Right now I'm hunting another shiny Eevee for a friend as a gift. After that, I think I'll either breed for a Bulbasaur, Spiritomb, or Caterpie.

[MetalMario]

You last visited: November 29th, 2011. Derp. Looks like I've been caught up with stuff. Reading up on posts now. Will edit stuff in later...

[2Cool4Mewtwo]

Looks like tomorrow will be the only time I get to play pokemon for couple hours, so I might hunt for a shiny and hopefully end up lucky.

[Latios Master]

Welcome to the club, crystalzapdos!

Welcome back, Vladimir Makarov!

Congrats on the shiny Staryu, It's Just Fufu!

This week's random hunt is... Bellsprout!

[ShinySearcher01]

Just a quick update, still haven't got much hunting done,
as i have been spending most of my time RNG'ing good IV'd stuff
(which is all i can do) for my shop. Is anybody still around?
It seems pretty dead in here lately.
