I started using a 3DS when X and Y came out, the first difference I noticed between it and the Gameboy Advance XP is it is sooo much heavier. It actually hurts to hold it for long periods of time as well as moving the thumb between the buttons.

Is it actually a regular 3DS or XL? Just wondering because the small one is pretty light even compared to a GBA SP.

goodness, it's been a while since i've checked in! school hasn't exactly been kind lately, as far as allowing free time. but since i've got a window of opportunity atm, i'll just put out one little update!

No luck on my hunt for Nincada (although I haven't been too diligent with it), or finding Fairy types. I've mostly been hopping from one hunt to the next, so not a lot of consistency there, but I did manage to snag a little bit of luck!

Spoiler:

First I stumbled across a shiny Frogadier- I hit a mini drought after that Crawdaunt I posted. It shone after about 1195 REs, and I nicknamed him Kahlua. Shiny Greninja definitely has a neat palette!

Next I decided to hunt for shiny Meditite (aiming for a female with the HA). I found a shiny Sawk along the way after an extremely quick 267 encounters, and named him Maotai. I think I should definitely try for a Throh, to complete the set!

I kept trying for Meditite- and voila, a shiny female Meditite with Telepathy after only 322 REs! I was super happy to say the least- I absolutely can't wait to evolve her and try out that gorgeous mega evo. Shiny Mega Medicham is definitely one of my favorites!

cries a little

Lastly, just yesterday I was hunting for Mawile and discovered a shiny Klang instead after 397 REs. I let my sister name it, since I was out of town visiting her at the time, and she named it Arin Hanson. Needless to say, my sister has impeccable taste.

all my new bbys yaaas

That aside, I'm going to keep trying for a shiny female Mawile, and I'll probably pair that with hunting for Nincada once more. I really hope these short 200-300 RE hunts keep popping up! I'll try to be more active here in the meantime- til then, happy hunting! :15:

I have the aqua blue 3ds and I think it's heavier then my gba sp. I noticed it's harder to hold for long periods of time unlike the sp which I could hold for hours.

 

[WeyounRagnarok]

haven't been shiny hunting in a while, but a couple of my recent breeding projects landed me some accidental shinies: Got a golett and an emolga.

 

[Maserati777]

I found a shiny Meinfoo today in Friend Safari after 45 encounters.

 

[El Baguette]

Hi,
I just discovered this forum and I'm just wondering if it is (normally) a full-odd one or not.
Thanks and good hunt!

 

[Kostas]

Just got a shiny electrike with 4 horde encounters lol.

 

[G-Money]

2500 Underwater encounters

Spoiler:

Volbeat is the other one I caught. Right outside the daycare, I was breeding stuff and accidentally went into the flowers and there it was.

I saw a shiny Geodude in a horde but the other Geodudes used Magnitude... :(

Sweet, Volbeat's a pretty rare shiny. I don't know of too many people who have one! Those shinies tend to be the ones I'm most proud of - one of my favorite shinies is my Hitmonchan, since, like, no one ever SRs for shiny Hitmonchan, "lol!" {XD}

Sorry to hear about the Geodude; hope you can find another one soon!

Hi people I am new to the concept of shiny hunting. I have started shiny hunting since the new year of 2016 as a new year resolution and the shiny I currently own are: 1)Charizard
2)Metagross
And now I am currently hunting for a Larvitar. If you guys know some tip and trick you can share with me please tell me
P/s: I only own a gameboy advance and a gba emulator on my phone to play rom hack with

Hey ShadowSpherez, welcome to the Shiny Hunters Club! You're starting out with two of the coolest shinies ever (Charizard and Metagross are both safely in the top 5 shinies EVER! :laugh:) and Tyrantiar's going to be another awesome one to add to your collection. I take it you're searching in FR/LG? Third gen's my favorite to hunt on; even though I have a 3DS, I'm still hunting on Emerald!

I started using a 3DS when X and Y came out, the first difference I noticed between it and the Gameboy Advance XP is it is sooo much heavier. It actually hurts to hold it for long periods of time as well as moving the thumb between the buttons.

Anyways just found a shiny Ponyta in Friend Safari after 42 encounters. Currently in the same safari looking for either Braixen, Larvesta or another Ponyta to evolve. I'll probably evolve Larvesta and leave Braixen as it is.

Congrats on the Ponyta! Those blue flames are amazing. I hope you're not planning to evolve it - shiny Ponyta's a lot cooler (or hotter? Blue flames generally have higher temperatures, "lol") than shiny Rapidash! :pink_nod:

I think the DSes are definitely heavier than the GBASP. What I do is leave the game on a desk or table so that I don't have to hold it at all! I'm pretty much always playing while sitting down at a desk, so my hands only have to press the buttons and don't have to hold the device.

And congrats on the Mienfoo!

Awes, congrats on all those shinies, magolor! I had no idea shiny Klang looked that awesome - it really stands out when lined up with your other three, haha. Good luck on Mawile and Nincada; Nincada's one of the toughest shinies to get, but if you keep at it, you can take down the Boss eventually! :pink_laugh:

haven't been shiny hunting in a while, but a couple of my recent breeding projects landed me some accidental shinies: Got a golett and an emolga.

Congrats! Did they have cool IVs and stuff, or were you at the beginning of the breeding process?

Hi,
I just discovered this forum and I'm just wondering if it is (normally) a full-odd one or not.
Thanks and good hunt!

Both! You get to pick - we have parallel Quests running, so all the people who are doing full-odds hunts are competing against each other, and everyone who's doing Friend Safaris/chaining is competing against each other. Feel free to join either one or both! You can also mix them, counting full-odds ones for the parallel one if you want. Feel free to join! Just let us know what shinies you already have and which ones you're searching for and we'd be glad to have you join! :)

Just got a shiny electrike with 4 horde encounters lol.

"lol" that's awesome! Congrats! I love the color of shiny Electrike, and I think I'm going back to hunt some more on Route 110 as another leg of my Hoenn mini-tour. There are so many cool shinies there!

To answer your question, both my shinies came out with 5 perfect IVs, but unfortunately they weren't the right IVs.

 

[Itcheeee]

Sign me up :)
I've gotten shinies through nomal encounters, Machop in Firered (or Emerald forget which ^^; ), Trapinch in Ruby, Geodude in Platnium, and just recently Seaking in my second Firered in the Safari Zone who fled...so I'm breeding one instead XD After I get Seaking I'm going for a shiny Vulpix/Ninetales in Leafgreen scince I have a masterball to use up <3

 

[Maserati777]

Found my first shiny in X, I have 1 badge in it and only an Old Rod and found Luvdisc after a 45 fish chain, it's actually my first shiny hunt in the game. I actually equipped the bike at 35 but luckily it's harder to break the chain when standing.


I also traded over my suction cups Octillery from Y to ensure a bite.

In Y I went about 150 before breaking the chain for Luvdisc and ended up getting carpal tunnel because of that.


I also got Heartgold today from Gamestop for about 10 dollars off regular price and am soft resetting for a shiny starter. Only doing about 100 encounters at a time for that though so that will take awhile.

More Shiny Horde Hunting. :)

Shiny Male Nosepass - Whilst a Shiny I have been looking for for some time this Shiny popped up on only the 2nd Hoard of the session and right in the middle of the Hoard at that.
He has a Careful Nature and the Sturdy Ability. I really like the Gold Colour but am unsure whether I will evolve him.

Shiny Female Mareep (Elesa) - With my trusty Static Pikachu as my lead this pink sheep appeared after about 30 hoards...and once again right in the middle of the Hoard. She has an Adamant Nature with the Static Ability. She is now a Pink blue jewelled Ampharos holding a Mega Stone. O think the pink and Blue colour scheme work well here. Whilst the nature is not ideal I plan to take this Pokémon to the Hall of Fame.

 

[Maserati777]

Decided to go into my Y Friend Safari on my 2DS, had never entered it before and was in there for a minute trying to see my three Pokemon, I found the main two but couldn't find the 3rd. Anyways captured a Venomoth for my regular dex and did about 10 encounters looking for the 3rd and was heading for the door and a shiny Venomoth appeared, in total I had maybe 14 encounters. Probably my shortest friend safari find and wasn't even shiny hunting.

Seem to find blue shinies more often with Pawniard my first random encounter shiny, Corsola my first fish chain shiny, and my last 3 shinies, Ponyta, Meinfoo and Venomoth.

 

[JohnnyGolduck]

Just hatched a shiny 5 IV Inkay :) Hopefully hatching 2 shinies a few days apart doesn't mean I won't see one in a long time haha

 

[LilyGardy]

Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Pokeradar Shiny! :)

Shiny Male Emolga (Carbuncle) - My luck with the Pokeradar is horrific. I had found not one despite extensive chaining. Knowing a Chain of 40 would be difficult I put my trusty Static Pikachu at the front of my party and attempted to find the elusive Shiny Emolga. After a few failed chains and on a Chain of about 27 the following thoughts happened in my head

'Was that a Shiny patch' (I did not have the sound on)
'I think it was, it was the lower patch I think'
*Runs into Patch*
*Shiny Male Emolga appears*
'Yay, A Pokeradar Shiny, Finally a Pokeradar Shiny'
*Throws an Ultra Ball...Shiny Emolga is caught*
*Name him Carbuncle after the adorable Final Fantasy Summon*

My Shiny Emolga has a Rash Nature and the Static Ability. The Brown almost Chocolate like colour of the Shiny I like a lot and I am overjoyed at finally finding a Pokeradar Shiny. He is great fun to play with in Pokémon Amie and I may enter him in a Contest.

 

[Lrachelr5]

I was wonder trading last night and I was traded a shiny Squirtle with a modest natre, Rain dish ability and holding the evolite with the moves Aura Sphere, Ice Beam, Dragon Rage and Scald, and he is fully EV trained he is now a shiny wartortle and I'm having fun using him on my play through of X with my shiny Vulpix and EV trained Dratini.

 

[OuterTsuchinoko]

Just got caught a Shiny Nincada and evolved it into Ninjask and got my free Shedinja. Since they are two different pokemon I'll use them both as counting toward the Spring Shiny Quest. I'm putting Ninjask as my Flying type and Shedinja as my Bug type.

I can't come up with nicknames for these guys, do any of you have suggestions?

My next hunt is Mudkip. Originally I was going to do Phione, but chose Mudkip since it has a more obvious color change. Phione is just a lighter shade of blue, barely noticeable.

Edit: Almost forgot, Nincada took me 706 DexNav encounters to show up. And changed my mind on Mudkip. Hunting for Eevee next to get a Leafeon.

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy it's a SHINY CLAMPERL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wooooooooooooohooooooo! I wasn't expecting this at all, haha. I was watching my DS and was all like, "Woah, that Clamperl's cool! It's...it's shiny!!!!!" and I watched the stars fly around and illuminate the ocean depths, haha. I named him Lueur, which I feel is appropriate, especially given his awesome color!! He really does look like a super-rare and super-cool Clamperl.

The cool thing about getting a shiny Clamperl for my underwater one is that it has a branched evolution tree, meaning I can keep hunting underwater without fear of a duplicate! So I'm going to grab one more underwater shiny (these things are awesome!!!) before heading back to the Hoenn mainland.

I really wasn't expecting another shiny so soon! I was truly shocked when I saw it - Lueur appeared on just the 5475th encounter! For encounter #5475 to be a shiny was astonishing for me after fishing by Ever Grande for what seemed like decades, haha. I love the deep sea! *hugs seaweed* ♥

To answer your question, both my shinies came out with 5 perfect IVs, but unfortunately they weren't the right IVs.

Still, you got 5 flawless IVs on a shiny! That's super awesome (getting either a shiny or a Pokemon with multiple flawless IVs is a feat in itself, but getting them both in the same Pokemon? Way to go, WeyounRagnarok!)!

Welcome to the SHC, Itcheeee!! That's a pretty sweet start to your collection...Trapinch especially is awesome! Good luck on your Seaking reclaim quest - I'm sure it'll come back soon! {:3}

*high-fives for GenIII hunting* :pink_wink:

Going to work on breeding some shinies soon! I've been a bit busy with other games but I really wanna get back into it. :)

We're looking forward to hearing about your impending plethora of shiny success, Achromatic! ^^ Who'll you be breeding for first?

shiny Venomoth

Sweet, congrats!! But dude, you've got to take a bit of a break so I can become the Shiny Champion so your carpal doesn't get worse!! If you let it heal for a bit, you'll be able to hunt for much longer in the long run. :pink_smile:

Maximize your total number of encounters by minimizing your encounters this week! It's paradoxical, but true!

Shiny Male Nosepass

...

Shiny Female Mareep (Elesa)

Shiny Male Emolga (Carbuncle)

Sweet, congrats! Your description of Emolga changed my mind on it, and I really like its color scheme now!

By the way, do you know how your shinies stack up for the Yearly Quest teams? You could very well be in first place - it seems like you're finding shinies everywhere!! I wonder if you've already completed a team or two? o_O

Just hatched a shiny 5 IV Inkay :) Hopefully hatching 2 shinies a few days apart doesn't mean I won't see one in a long time haha

Awesome! Keep up your awesome run and get as many shinies as you can while your luck lasts!!! :)

Just got caught a Shiny Nincada and evolved it into Ninjask and got my free Shedinja. Since they are two different pokemon I'll use them both as counting toward the Spring Shiny Quest. I'm putting Ninjask as my Flying type and Shedinja as my Bug type.

Sweet, congrats! You're halfway towards having a shiny Spring Team!! I'd name the Ninjask Hamilton (for Billy Hamilton, the fastest guy in the MLB!) and the Shedinja Spectre (since he's a Ghost!)! Your Ninjask would also double as a Federalist who could serve as the shiny advocate of a large, centralized bank! :pink_laugh:

 

[Kostas]

I'm currently hunting (breeding) for shiny Froakie.
It's the first shiny I try to find with breeding, hope I will find it soon...

 

[Sirenita55]

Currently hunting for a shiny Growlithe in a Friend Safari, been searching in there for a week or so now :/
