    I don't chain much, but I do have a shiny Meganium. I once bred enough Horsea to get a shiny one.

    Joining PC had to have been good luck, right after registering I was hatching some eevee eggs and one happened to be a shiny, which i was more than stoked for with umbreon being my favorite pokemon and all and always wanting one with the blue. Now i just have to learn chaining. . .

    I hated my Mild shiny Absol, so I wen't out to chain it again today, since the swarm came back. And this time I kept my Adamant Synchronizer. So I used a Luxury Ball, and guess what nature the Absol was? MODEST. So now I have a Mild and Modest shiny Absol. 2 sucky natures. I r sulk.

    I hate chaining :<

    All I have at the moment is 7 shiny Luxrays. Cloned. I'm not that big a fan of shinies.

    Meh, shinies are overrated. However, I have two non chained shinies and one of them that were chained.

    I hatched a pretty good shiny Eevee, which is in my thread. I also hatched a great shiny Bagon. I chained kind of a meh Spoink as well.

    Shinies

    I have some pretty good shinies. Here are the ones I have.

    Peliper (This one was random, I don't have it anymore, traded it)
    Magikarp (Caught it in Leafgreen before I beat Misty! Was a pleasant surprise)
    Pachirisu (Caught it using pokerader after a chain of 24. And it's female!)

    And that's the way it goes.

    Just doing a breeding project for gunners and out popped a shiny diglett! Too bad it had sand veil and and a quiet nature, but hell, a shiny is a shiny.

    Just bred another Shiny Cranidos(Jolly). I will keep it or trade it since Shiny Fossil Pokemon are pretty much hard to come by.

    Congratulations Haza! It's hard to breed shinies, and I hate it when they come up with a wrong nature/crap IV's. Looks like you hit the right nature there, especially for a Scarf Rampardos. What kind of IV's does it have, or do you not care?

    I wasnt IV breeding on it so they probably suck. I will check later. I have a shiny Rampardos I bred thats Adamant that I use Focussash/RockPolish with so I dont need this one. My brothers friend might want it though.

    I have a shiny Chimchar atm. i was wondering, if you breed to shinies, what is the chance of the baby being shiny?

    Breeding shinies would not increase the chance of hatching a shiny. Thus, the chance would be the same as finding one in the wild and such. The shiny ratio is always 1/8192 (unless you chain, which can slightly increase your odds).

    ...I haven't found a shiny since September? x_x;
