    Hi Trainers, I see people boasting about there "Limited Edition Max IV Shiny Mew" and I wonder how do they do it. All the experienced Shiny Hunters out there, could you give me some tips? People will say "It's just Luck" but you see people with about 200 shinies so there has to be something to it! So if you have any tips (good places to luck etc.) I'd be grateful!

    Mew cannot be bred, nor can it be caught in-game. There has also not been a Mew event since way back in 2010. Therefore, I have every reason to believe that the Mew you speak of is a hack and is not something that should be asked for help finding. Forget the Max IV part of it; the Shiny part, and even the very fact that it supposedly appears within Kalos, is a hack.

    I found my second shiny this morning before going to work. The last time I found a shiny it was in pkmn sapphire about 10 years ago. I couldn't believe it when I found a shiny sigilygh in the friend safari.

    • Hey guys!

    I've had luck recently in the Friend Safari again, after a long hiatus of not hunting.

    So I was wandering around in an Electric-type safari, with Emolga, Pikachu, and my favorite electric type, Manectric. I was on Skype with my boyfriend, and all the sudden I see sparkles. I look over, and it was a shiny Manectric! I was speechless, since I had never had particularly good luck in that safari, I'd gone in there a lot in the past, couldn't find anything.

    So, in honor of the shiny Manectric, I decided to clone it while it was holding a Master Ball. I'm giving them away, first come, first serve! Let me know if you'd like one. <3

    (I only have six of them.)

    I can definitely get you one, if you so desire. ^^ I added your friend code also, and I got your PM about one of the Manectrics.

    • So I decided to do some testing in the Friend Safari after reading some data on Smogon about the shiny rates in there. So, it's approximated that the shiny rate is 1/512. The shiny charm has no effect. To test this, I did a tally chart in a notebook during my hunt in a Fire-type safari. After around 90 encounters, I found a shiny Charmeleon.

    • I had roughly 50 encounters logged before going to lay down in bed, and it seems that tipping has no effect either. If demand is great, I may put the link to the data here.

    I haven't checked it yet, I will soon though!

I had never heard of a shiny Pokemon before when I caught it and freaked out thinking I caught some event Pokemon thing lol! Congrats on yours and may there be many many more to come its awesome when you catch your first shiny!
