Am I right in saying that if I save my game while carrying eggs and then just keep on restarting my game as they all hatch, they'll still have the same chance of being a shiny than as if I keep waiting for hundreds of eggs to "be made" and having to release them or store them? Saves time and also refills Hatching O Power quicker.

If you have 5 eggs in your party, saved, and then check them, you will not change your chances of hatching a shiny. The baby was pre-determined the moment you retrieved the egg from the daycare man.

You can deposit 2 parents into the daycare, save, bike around and collect the new eggs to fill up your party/box. Hatch those and if not shiny, reset and repeat collecting eggs again.

Also, I claimed shiny Cresselia today after 1129 soft resets!

Took a quick video with my phone while I was battling her linked here.

Majestic and 1129 SR's is not a lot honestly, so that's a luck. Major Congrats.

And I just hatched my 3rd Shiny Vulpix after a whole week. Rainbow Road music from Mario Kart doubled the euphoria I felt. This time Flash Fire though.

Spoiler:

I think I'm gonna change Pokemon now , I still don't know what to breed now. Any ideas for me my dear SHC fellows?

Edit: I took mother Vulpix out of Daycare and I got 4 eggs left to hatch. THE FOURTH EGG WAS A SHINY AGAIN. This time Male Drought! Just a moment later haha!

Spoiler:

What do now?

 

[LittleCookie]

Well I think I'll become a member here ♥ I got some shinies from WonderTrade (Gardevoir, Medicham), I have the event Metagross and caught Shuppet and Lilliput randomly. My hunting never ended well xD

I'm looking to hunt by Matsuda method, so right now I'm farming for my dex ! :3

By the way.. GG for the siny Cres ! THat's awesome :O

 

[Akyso]

I haven't really done much. I got shiny Houndour from wondertrade and shiny Suicune from a random trade... That's it. I didn't do anything yesterday because I wasn't allowed to use my 3DS a few times. I don't know if I feel like continuing the struggle to Shiny Vulpix DX

 

[miel!]

wow this thread has been going for a long time! im not actively searching atm, but shiny hunting is very exciting :) i have pretty good shiny luck too!

Took me over week and I got four of those. Now I'm going with Mudkip :P

@chiilove I could say the same :)

Okay, okay. I won't give up XD

Man you make me so jelly ;-;

 

[Aether★]

I'm going to make giveaway at one point probably. Kinda feels empty to just breed shinies in X constantly and do nothing else, but then again I can multitask while doing this.

 

[G-Money]

It's the second half of 2015!! For the final six monthly quests, you'll have opportunities to add cool features to your region for the Yearly Quest! As a reminder of the Yearly Quest:

Spoiler:

The 2015 Yearly Quest: Build a Region!​

That's right, Shiny Hunters!! It's now 2015, and 2015 is the year of region-building!! You get to create your own land of shiny wonders, inhabited by whatever shinies you find!! This will be a little different from previous Quests: there will be tiers to further test your shiny skills!!

Tier I:

1) Find three shiny Pokemon who could serve as starters. One must be a Grass-type, one must be a Fire-type, and one must be a Water-type. All three must have three evolutionary stages.
2) Find a shiny legendary!

Tier II:

Well, a region with just starters and a legendary is pretty small, isn't it? Maybe just a small island or something. Your region is probably one of those tiny Articuno/Zapdos/Moltres islands with a bag of starter Pokeballs on it! Let's fill it in with some more Pokemon to create a route!!

3) Find a shiny Normal-type with one evolution. It must be able to learn an HM move!
4) Find a shiny Water-type!

Tier III: The Forest!

5) Find a shiny Bug-type with three evolutionary stages!
6) Find another shiny Bug-type! This one can have as many or as few evolutions as you'd like.
7) Find a shiny Grass-type!

Tier IV: The River!

8) Find a shiny Water-type!
9) Find a shiny Grass-type!
10) Find a shiny Ground-type!

Tier VI:

You now have a good region, replete with a route and a river and Pokemon to dwell there! But now it's time to make your region something of your own...specialize your region! Add something that gives it some character!

Tier VI Challenge: Find 5 shinies of the same type!

Tier VII:

Stones have washed up on the shore...

Tier VII Challenge:

1) Find a shiny with a Mega Evolution!
2) Find a shiny that can evolve via Leaf, Water, or Fire Stone!
3) Find a shiny that can evolve via Sun, Dawn, or Dusk Stone!

Tier VIII:

Make your region the best! Build the myth; create the legend!

Tier VIII Challenge:

1) Create a shiny legendary trio of three legendaries of different types or three legendaries of the same type!
2) Create a legendary duo of two legendary Dragon- or Flying-type shinies!

At the end of the year, we'll see who has the best region!

Now it's time to add to your region with...

The July Monthly Quest: The Beach!!

To complete this Quest, you must find three shinies:

1) A Water-type shiny!
2) A Ground-type shiny!
3) A Flying-type shiny!

Completing this Quest within the time allotted will give your region official recognition of having a beach resort, hopefully promoting tourism and encouraging more shinies to migrate to your region!

Chained and Safari Pokemon are not eligible to count for the Quest.

The contest lasts until midnight EDT on August 7th, 2015.

Good luck and have fun!

Spoiler:

15666 Route 116 encounters (Emerald)
4382 Froakie (Y)
A few Relic Castle encounters (Black 2)

I'm hoping G-Money didn't take away my luck after all.

"lol" looks like I really didn't!

*surreptitiously returns luck to bill flibby after a week of trying to figure out how to use it and totally failing*

Congrats G-Money!

Congratz G-Money. Sandshrew/Sandslash is one of my most favorite Pokemons and true Pokebros haha. I have one Shiny Sandslash at my X as well. I love it's bloodshot red color.

congrats on your newest addition!

Thanks!

true Pokebro

"lol" {XD}

I am breeding for a shiny timid noibat (5iv). Hopefully its male so I can name it Malfoy, but I won't complain if I get a female shiny haha.

Good luck, BadSheep! Hope you get shiny Noibat soon!

JUST GOT A SHINY PAWNIARD VIA MASUDA METHOD AFTER 359 HATCHES AND SHE IS ADAMANT WITH DEFIANT AND 5 PERFECT IVs, I'M SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW xD

Congrats!!! Pawniard is an awesome Pokemon and an even cooler shiny!!

Would like to join!

Welcome to the SHC! Congrats on the Absol - do you have any upcoming hunts planned?

shiny Cresselia today after 1129 soft resets!

Welcome back and huge, huge congrats on Cresselia!!! Absolutely one of the greatest shinies ever!!! Way to go!!!

my 3rd Shiny Vulpix

...

I got 4 eggs left to hatch. THE FOURTH EGG WAS A SHINY AGAIN. This time Male Drought! Just a moment later haha!

Wow, that's awesome!!! Congrats on all of those shiny Vulpix, haha!! Looks like you figured out the password to bill flibby's luck and took his, mine, and your own and put them all together to form a giant luck ball that you threw at those Vulpix eggs... :laugh:

Well I think I'll become a member here ♥

Welcome to the club, LittleCookie!! Hope you find lots of shinies soon!

 

[Akyso]

I don't actually understand this yearly quest o-o

Do I have to do all the tiers? ;-;

 

[G-Money]

I don't actually understand this yearly quest o-o

Do I have to do all the tiers? ;-;

Nope! You can do as many or as few as you'd like! If it doesn't sound fun, you don't even have to do any! But if you'd like to compete, start at Tier I, and once you've accomplished that one, you can try to do Tier II, etc. You don't have to do them in order, but the later ones don't count unless you've done the earlier ones (like, if you finish Tiers I and III, you won't get credit for Tier III since you didn't finish II).

You can do the Monthly Quests even if you don't do the Yearly one. You'll just own a geographic area that's on someone else's continent. I'm sure they won't mind... {XD}

 

[Aether★]

If I think about it more, I can say I completed most of tiers already, because I have acquired the most of needed Pokemons on this list haha! Not in this year though, but I do have those.

 

[Akyso]

Does getting a shiny on wondertrade count? :DD

150 eggs of Vulpix, all a disappoint D:

Also, can you soft reset for Shiny Mewtwo in Pokemon X/Y?

150 isn't that much. I remember breeding at least 15 boxes.

Yes, you can SR for Shiny Mewtwo.

 

[Akyso]

Psh, I just have really good luck to get shinies in less than 200 eggs B)

Okay, thanks! I have something to waste my weekend with now :D

If you have that luck, that's awesome. Most of shinies I got took me 1200+ eggs sometimes. The most painful was my first Shiny Eevee, but that was before obtaining Shiny Charm.

Let the power of Matsuoka Shuzo and Shia LaBeouf help you through this!

 

[LittleCookie]

I read that with the Masuda Method Shiny charm, the chance was of 1/512 :O

By the way, anyone to help me with my dex ? xD It's quite painful to do in fact x)

 

[Akyso]

Hahah, I'm not even close to finishing my dex. 400 something XD

I do want the shiny charm though.... But I need to get these shinies... uwu

 

[Aether★]

Yeah, I've been the same, only interested in Shinies, but then I thought "why not enchance my chance a little?" Thankfully I had couple of acquaintances that helped me completing the dex.

 

[LittleCookie]

I will probably ask somewhere around the trade section then :3 Especially for the legends OwO

Then I will probably ask for clone, to have one of each for next games ♥
