  • I found a shiny Gastly in the cemetery towards the beginning. Honestly wasn't expecting to encounter a shiny this fast.

  • It seems my Gen 6 luck has deserted me. Not one Shiny yet in about 30 hours playtime.

    I think I will go for the Shiny Charm before I start call chaining. I am doing a GTS trading spree to get tricky entries like Electivire.

    I really want a Shiny Bounsweet though and may try for one once I finish the game.

    Edit - Tried for a Shiny Bounsweet and caught it after a call chain. She is now a Shiny Tsareena.v:)

  • Whilst looking for a Black Sludge for my Alolan Muk I found a Shiny Alolan Grimer in the first town by SOS chaining.

    Shiny Alolan Grimer is purple...just like regular Kanto Grimer. :0

    I must admit however Alolan Muk looks better in purple than green and onto my team it goes. :)

    Random note - If you change a Pokemon's pokedex image to its shiny form if you've seen caught it it's profile image changes too to match it's shiny colours. A nice touch. :)

    I haven't run into a shiny myself, but I did get two from Wonder Trade. A (most likely) hacked Litten since it's level 5, Adamant and has all 31 IVs. I also got an Oricorio and I just LOVE it's shiny, so I'm super happy! I was hunting for a shiny Pikipek in my Moon save for a while with no luck.. So I gave up and reseted my game.

  • Just hatched a 4 IV Shiny Love Ball Vulpix with Egg Moves and Snow Warning. Disappointment doesn't even begin to describe it...if it was five IV's I'd be buzzing and would use it over my Moon Ball variant...

    At least it's GTS able?

    Might as well get the shiny charm and try again lol

    It's a very subtle change and I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't paid attention to the red star.

    This will improve my resolve. I will get another Shiny Vulpix and it will be 5IV's.

  • I spent a few days s.o.s'ing and have so far found 2 shiny rockruff and a cubone. I'm thinking of trying for a turtonater next. And this is without the shiny charm, I hope my luck keeps up when I get it.

  • I have never once in my life gone shiny hunting in a Pokemon game. Which is probably why my first ever legit, nonscripted shiny was a Zubat I caught on Sun. She's now a Crobat named Batgirl and will never leave my party because Crobat is beast.

    Warning: Amounted insanity present in the following story:

    So, on a fluke, I ended up chaining a shiny Crabrawler and catching it. While I was happy to get it, I was saddened by the fact that it's a female (I'm very picky with my Pokémon's genders). So last night, at 11:30 PM, my Mimikyu and I went hunting for berries, and I encountered a Crabrawler SOS battle in the Secluded Shore.

    Fourteen agonizing, non-stop hours later into the same battle, I find another shiny Crabrawler.... female.

    My Mimikyu's attack EVs were completely filled. And every single one of those Crabrawler knew Bubble Beam; they were like angry Vegetas shooting out tons of projectiles at my Mimikyu until she was developed in an explosion of dust and light. And when those Vegeta crabs finally gave up... Mimikyu jumped out in a surprise and OHKOed every single one of them. She was maxed out in Bulk Ups. And she knows Leech Life. I nearly ran out of Leppa Berries. I had five other weak Pokémon in my party for the purpose of completing the dex... and every single one of them evolved once the battle was over!

    So now I have two female Crabrawler shinies in my box, one with it's Hidden Ability. I missed so many Kyurem battles in Shuffle. It was 1:30-ish PM when it ended. I fell asleep... hard.

  • I now have my 3rd Gen 7 Shiny - A Rockruff. She appeared in about 180 SOS calls. She has her hidden ability Steadfast.

    She has four perfect IVS and is now a shiny Blue Lycanroc. :)

  • During my playthrough of the story, I found two shiny Pokemon, both in one day and both from dumb luck! One was a shiny Magnemite which was neat but I already have some of those (back from 4th gen Pokeradar), and one a shiny Alolan Meowth, which joined my extended team. :B

    I don't have any shiny Pokemons yet but I'm not disappointed yet. I'm used to normal coloured Pokemons.

  • I now have 5 Gen 7 Shines after chaining for a Shiny Pikipek after about 110 encounters. It is now a Shiny Toucannon. I really like the pink beak.

    My latest shiny is a Shiny Orange Cottonee. It took about 180 SOS calls. I plan to use it for a Grass Monotype that I will do once I get Moon.
