  • I've still had absolutely no luck with shiny hunting but tbf I've not got the shiny charm yet so I'll probably wait for that before I try fully.

  • Not yet, but yet to hit postgame strats for shiny hunting anyway. I was quite lucky in SM and found 2 Shiny pokes in the one day... but no such luck as yet.

    I bred a shiny Hatenna (225 eggs) and a shiny Solosis (108 eggs) on purpose and then accidentally bred a shiny Snom after 3 eggs just trying to get one with decent IVs. So far so good! I'm not really motivated to try for anymore Galar shinies, it could just be that s/m had such good ones imo (Tsareena, Ribombee, Toxapex, Alolan Ninetales, like omg hello?) and I'm just not super feeling many of the Galar shiny forms

  • Finally have my first Galar Shiny. It's a Shiny Timid male Sobble after 171 eggs. (Masuda Method with Shiny charm). The Sobble lines are my favourite Shinys in Galar so I am very pleased to have hatched one.

  • My first shiny was a shiny sobble, i was just hatching some eggs to surprise trade a starter.
    My second was Jangmo-o, i was breeding it for competitive , so it has 4 perfect iv's and the other 2 are very good.
    It was only the 7th egg.
    My third was a shiny ralts in the wild with a golden aura and the square sparkles, with also amazing stats.
    And my 4th was a shiny mawile in a raid with a other leader, i play shield, and my pokedex entree, lol
    And i dont have the shiny charm yet.
    And i tried to deliberately breed a shiny ponyta, is well over 700 hatched eggs, and still no shiny.

  • Yes, and this is the 2nd cartridge shiny and my first nuzrun cartridge shiny! A shiny Golurk I found while grinding in my Shield run. I would have used it if it didn't have both a bad nature and ability (Bold and Klutz).

    I was able to hatch a shiny Galarian Corsola and a shiny Toxel. I found a shiny Gossifleur and shiny Skuntank on route 3.
    I also have 6 shiny Magikarps because of the current raid event.

    Me and my friends have gotten so many shinies that I feel like they changed the rate.. Magikarp doesn't count. I got a shiny gmax Lapras, shiny raid Ditto, and a shiny Pelipper. My friend has gotten shiny gmax Alcreamie, shiny gmax Kingler and shiny combee. My sister a shiny gmax Gengar.

    Found a full-odds Bisharp while working on the Pokedex :>

    It's my only shiny so far in Gen 8 but I'm glad it's one with a cool colour difference to its original!
