You actually can get Victini/Zekrom/Reshiram at least semi-legit if you use an AR to remove the shiny check code and by doing this it becomes a regular 1/8192 hunt, just fyi. Cause I was contemplating hunting Reshiram this way.

Anyway...
My Hunts:
Ho-oh - 11277 SRs
Viridian Forest - 1300 REs
Dialga - 797 SRs
Yeah not too much change since last time I've been watching too much olympics (if that's even possible). I honestly have never heard the queen talk before the opening ceremony.

Congrats Rykerr and danaxe (?). Both totally awesome shinies ;D

Welcome to the club danaxe and Damn Heatrans 123 (Hai ;P)

Victini, Resh, and Zek can be SR'd if you use an AR to remove the shiny check (as was already mentioned), making them semi-legit.

Also, sorry to be a killjoy, but Resh, Zek, and Keldeo CANNOT be shiny in B/W2 =P

[Keruso]

well, not quite who i was hoping for. im gonna continue hunting here til i get my target. i'll post stats next time

[NeonTsuba]

I've now started SRing Terrakion, 539 resets so far.
Good luck everyone.

[Latios Master]

Welcome all new members and congrats on all new shinies!

Welcome back, TSE!

Sorry to hear about the Lunatone, G-Money. Several times I've looked at the red eye and wondered if it was the shiny form.

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

Litwick: 2,802

Hello everyone :).

Its been a very very long time since I posted here and even check the pole community. It's funny as for my last post when I was around 14 - 15 years old, I sounded so immature well what I'm trying to say is that I'm back :D. Been focusing on studies and work these couple of years and I do play pokemon at times but I rarely hunt (SR's) sadly I lost my emerald game and all shinies around the same time I turned 16 lost all my shinies :'( on that savefile. Don't worry since that tragedy like I said I do play pokemon but not to an extent of shiny hunting I've acquired games like Soul Silver, Platinum, Pearl, Diamond and Black on my DS lite and I do have a fair amount of new shinies I encoutered on these games.

I'll be posting pics of my new shinies on my next post. I'm currently writing this at work on my iPhone :/ bored zzz.. Anyways I bid you all goodluck on your Shiny Hunts! I will
be SRing soon for my own Lugia.

Good to be back.

[SHINY CHARIZARD#1]

I'm back! :D Do i have to re-join cuz i was gone about a year. xD sorry about that.

[TheShinyEevee]

Welcome back to the two posters abooove
Thanks Latios :D
Congrats Keruso! ;D Hope you get what you want soon xP

My hunts, before I fall asleep... xD
Ho-oh: 11,725
Treecko: 6,550

Good luck everybody!

[G-Money]

Between EVing and training my Pokemon, I've had 2500 encounters throughout the wilderness of Unova over the past week or so, mostly Audino. No shinies so far, but the journey has just begun!

You're welcome to join the club as long as you're honest with us. Having less shinies won't make us think any less of you, and if you just tell us the truth we'd be more than happy to let you join.

Congrats, Keruso! A shiny is a shiny. You're going to have to keep up with rykerr now if she continues this pace!

Welcome to the club! I hope you can reclaim your Snover (and maybe get a shiny Heatran as some sort of revenge? "lol").

Welcome back, shinycollector!!!!! It's always awesome to have great legends of the past return to carry the banner of the SHC proudly into the future! *war horn*

I'm sorry to hear about your Emerald games, but hopefully you've gotten a bunch of other shinies to make up for them.

Welcome back, SHINY CHARIZARD#1! You're still a member!

The SHC chat has been closed. It wasn't really fair for SS01 to put so much effort into it when it hardly saw any activity, so the chat has been removed. In light of this development, may you be encouraged to post more! :cer_laugh:

Legend? No way I'm one of them lol, It's just really good that the Club I've loved back then is still going strong till now. A good progress that never ends :)

Anyways yeah I've acquired some new shinies. It is saddening though when I think about it that I've lost my Latios and Rayquaza hard to let them go.

I'll try post pics later on or when I find time.
So far:
Shiny Suicine(WIN2011)
Shiny Rhyperior
Shiny Gyarados (don't know if this counts lol)
Shiny Noctowl
Shiny Lillipup
Shiny Rapidash
Shiny Arcanine
Shiny Rhydon
Shiny Aggron
Shiny Basculin

Note: I transferred these pokemons from different savefiles so really don't know the exact time or the exact game where I found them.

Likewise, Its great to be back !

I'm going to try reset my SoulSilver maybe hunt for a lugia?
Or even try freaking buy a second hand Emerald,Sapphire and Ruby in EB games so I can try for the legendaries there aswell.

Goodluck huntin!

[Damn Heatrans 123]

Dang. Do you have FR/LG? You could hunt golden caterpie on there?

My hunts:
Ho-oh: 12,000 SRs exactly!
Treecko: 7,040 SRs

I might stay home most of tomorrow to hunt. I'm gonna need to chat!!

[G-Money]

TSE has been kind enough to make a new chat for the SHC! This one has more features than the last and has been personalized for SHC use! I highly recommend that everyone checks it out!

Not much to say here except....

Spoiler:

OMG SHINY HO-OH. I've been hunting this thing all summer and it FINALLY shone today after 11623 SRs. It has a Adamant Nature so I will definitely be EV training it. I am so relieved this shone it was was longest hunt by far and I'm glad it's over. Now all I need is a Shiny via Random Encountering to complete the yearly quest.

[G-Money]

The August Monthly Quest!!

This month is August, the month during which the town of Twinsburg, Ohio celebrates Twins Days! It's also a month during which the SHC will lend moral support to the Minnesota Twins baseball team in an attempt to prevent them from breaking the all-time record for losses in a season. ( :cer_tongue: @ Latios Master) It'll be tough, but the Twins have about a 1/8192 chance of winning another game this year, so they know what it's like to face the odds of shiny hunting! Let's show that Twins can be winners!

To complete this Quest, you must obtain a pair of shinies that are twins/rivals/pairs. For example, you could get something like:

• Plusle/Minun
• Volbeat/Illumise
• Lugia/Ho-oh
• Zangoose/Seviper
• Groudon/Kyogre
• Tornadus/Thundurus

Or any other pair you can think of! Be creative and have fun!

The shinies must be obtained by yourself in an Advanced generation game (or newer), and no chaining or hacking is allowed. Good luck! The contest lasts until midnight EDT on September 3nd, 2012.

Good luck and have fun!

Haha, congratulations! Boy, do you deserve it! Now, uh, I'd like some of whatever pokemon food it was you persuaded Ho-oh to be shiny with, please. Lots of it. :D

Ending toniiiight at:

Ho-oh: 12,260 SRs!
Treecko: 7,440 SRs!

EDIT 3rd August 2012:

Do we need to obtain both shinies during August? For example, I already have Kyogre and Giratina and I'm currently hunting Groudon and Palkia so... =P

If not then hopefully Palkia and Dialga will both shine this month, since I will be hunting Dialga once Palkia shines. I'm currently at 2k Palkais, only 300 Groudons since I've been sidetracked getting a suitable Smeargle (Since I needed something with Spore since Groudon can't be T'Waved) and leveling it up (hopefully it won't get pwned at 71?).

Good luck everyone in August!

EDIT: Also... do shinies that I got before I joined the club here count for the yearly quest? If so, I think Giratina completes it O.o If not, then I think I only need an RE shiny to complete the quest =O

[Latios Master]

Congrats on the new shinies and welcome back returning members!

I forgot the link to the old chat, which explains why I was rarely in there.

I like the new contest, it's different from what we normally do. I think I'll MM the Nidorans.

My poor Twins...

Sorry rykerr, but for shinies to count for a monthly quest, you have to catch them during that month. But it's a moot point anyways, since you're going to get BOTH Dialga and Palkia within the next couple of days.

That's a good question about shinies caught before joining the club. It's definitely open for discussion, and I don't see why not; if you were shiny hunting and got them during the contest timeframe, I think they should still count even if you weren't in the club at the time. If anyone has any other opinions or ideas about this, feel free to post them.

[PhantomWolf]

I'mmmmm baaaaccckkk!!!!! After forgetting my password, I have returned! Right now, I am soft resetting for charmander in fire red and Mudkip in emerald. Wish me luck! Also, does anyone here Skype?

[Arceus Whisper]

@ Phantomwolf SRing on Emerald doesn't work =/
My Hunts:
Viridian Forest - 1300 REs
Dialga - 1300 SRs
Combee - 258 HBs

I decide to try to get a shiny female combee on HG by headbutting those special trees north of cerulean city. They have 65% Combee and 35% Slakoth. I'm using a male clefairy with cute charm to get more female combees.

[PhantomWolf]

@arceus whisper Really, it doesn't? I've seen people on YouTube get shinies on emerald by sring, so you must have your facts wrong.
Anyway, so far on fire red, I have over 100 srs for charmander.

EDIT: restarting my hunt for charmander because I lost count. And I'm still hatching for snivy and started to sr for tepig.

[Arceus Whisper]

If there's one thing I'm certain its that the RNG on Emerald is as broken as it can be. In theory you could start a new file each reset and fish for an early shiny frame or you could wait a little bit longer each reset. Either way it's RNG abuse, the only way to get shinies on emerald with out exploiting the RNG is to turn on Emerald and not turn it off. We do have a Shiny Hunting FAQ on the first page of this thread if you have any other questions.
