So I was EV training my Larvesta when...

[Zelda]

I RAN INTO THIS GUY RIGHT HERE.

This is one shiny I least expected to run into, and it's soo coool. 8D; Can't wait to evolve it into a Chandelure now. :DD!

 

[Signomi]

WE BOTH RAN INTO A SHINY TODAY!

THIS IS AWESOME.

 

[Regeneration]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

I've been looking for a shiny Hitomoshi for ages! ;~;

But wait is it Modest. Because someone else found a Modest one and I want that more.

 

[Zelda]

Sadly, it's a Bold nature. :(

Ohhhhhh how pretty. :] Maybe I'll find a shiny today in HG. XD Or finally hatch my shiny Treecko...or get that shiny Kyogre I was SRing for to appear.

I get it.

You make me jealous, too. The only shinies I've ever found were a Tailow and a Wurmple in a save of Emerald. On the same save, so I guess Emerald's my lucky game for shinies. *Goes on Emerald, relentlessly looks for a shiny Feebas*

Noob out.

You may be luckier than us all if you can recall how many minutes (or seconds for accuracy) you were into the game since bootup when encountering the shiny. Emerald has a very broken RNG. Basically, the seed starts at 0 every time you turn on Emerald. It runs along in a repeated pattern. For example, if your shiny frame is 3.37 minutes into the game, you'll always run into a shiny at 3.37 minutes in the game. My shiny frame occurs at about 40 seconds into the game, so I've encountered several shiny legendary Pokemon. If you don't remember, keep trying different times. If you are soft resetting for legendaries in Emerald and miserably failing, it is best to not button mash, but actually wait several moments before interacting with the legend. If you recall playing for HOURS until running into a shiny, then, it may be hard to pinpoint where your shiny frame was. Knowing your SID helps too. I hope any of this was.. insightful.

BW's RNG is trickier. Aspiring shiny Pokemon owners, keep at it! Maybe turn on the otherwise useless cgear? ;D

Whatchoo talking 'bout, Willis?

Explain everything you just said in layman's terms.

Noob out.

Congrats on the shiny!

(I've got three of 'em in White, though :P)

@TwilightBlade: ...Is that really true? /tempted to get out Emerald and play that in hopes of easily finding a shiny, though she pretty much has all legends so no hope in getting those

Maaaan, that is awesome.

Also, Bold isn't half bad for a Chandelure either, considering it already has good Defense and doesn't really need its Attack stat. Even if it isn't Modest it's still a good find. Kudos to you!

Yeah that is true unfortunately. Not a game I would shiny hunt in unless you have encountered a shiny early in the game.

Any way congrats Kaori! I want it ;o;

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

Congrats ^_^
Last week I found myself a shiny too...while ev training as well, it was a Shiny Herdier ^_^
