  • I caught two shinies today, I'm so happy!

    A Pancham and a lovely modest Noibat. ♥ (I was searching for a Sliggoo but Noibat is cool too)

    I found that when I spend a lot of time in only one safari, it takes me forever to find a shiny... But when I go to a safari for a while and then try another one, bam, five minutes later, shiny! (That happened to me twice today anyway)

    Not the ones I was looking for but great shinies nonetheless. :)

    It might be a coincidence but it seems to work well for me so I will continue doing this.

    Yeah, but it really hurts to the people that have spent a lot of time with the intention of getting shinies. I had to hatch almost 4000 eggs for one shiny; and I've never encountered a completely random shiny in the wild either. x3
    I know the feeling, guys. My last shiny (and only one, i think) was the Red Gyarados. Evee (love your name), any method to a shiny takes parience, though some more than others
    I think my preferred method is the masuda method, because unlike encountering them in the wild, whether through chain fishing or poke' radar, or hoard battles, you have more control over with shiny pokemon you get, through breeding.

  • I've actually managed to get a completely unintentional shiny two days in a row now.

    Yesterday, while I was EV training a Growlithe, I came across a shiny Foongus in a horde
    Spoiler:


    And today while I was breeding for a flawless(or somewhat flawless) Sableye, I looked down and this is what I saw...
    Spoiler:


    These two were actually my 2nd and 3rd shiny Pokemon this gen but the first was a Relicanth I got from chain fishing and no one cares about that(I don't anyway).

    I've encountered a shiny Litleo today while roaming Route 22, and caught it immediately. (: This Pokémon's got Modest nature, which is good since it boosts its Special Attack stat. It has a lot of special-based moves in its arsenal, so the more Sp. Attack it has, the better advantage it can take of them. Also, its ability is Rivalry, so whenever it goes up against a Pokémon of the same gender, its offenses get increased by twenty-five percent. How great is that? I ran into another of these shiny Litleo at the beginning of the game, but couldn't capture it, though, as I made it faint accidentally. I wanted to weaken it before throwing any Poké Balls toward it, but the attack turned into a critical hit. I was quite unlucky. d:

  • I got a Shiny Skrelp and Shiny seaking while chain fishing.,
    A shiny Skiddo using the Poke Radar method,
    And ran into a shiny slowpoke randomly.

    I've never gotten a Masuda Method shiny ever. not even in the other games.

    Instantly evolved my Shiny Skiddo.
    Gogoats are awesome! :)

    with the emergence of the instacheck hotspot i now have many shinies lol :p

    sad though that having a shiny is not a trophy anymore but just some random pokemon display.
