Hi everyone, how is the Hunt going?
2020 is almost here, hope everyone is having a good time.

News: Got a shiny beartic at dragonspiral tower, male, adamant, caught in a dive ball. Named it Ice Bear like the one from the TV program. I have to say that that purple and blue really match it's type and makes it a beautiful shiny for a Winter season.

Spoiler:


See you next time and happy new year. 😀

Well, I finally caught my first shiny of Sword and Shield! Now, it one of the guaranteed shiny Magikarp from the current event, but it was my first raid and it's competitively perfect, aside from nature!

Unfortunately, excluding that Magikarp, I have a several month long shiny drought that's been continuing. However, I'm feeling good about my hunts in 2020. I just hit 100 eggs for Snom in Sword, and 244 soft resets for Mewtwo in Ultra Sun, so hopefully those come soon!

Caught my first shiny in Pokémon Shield the shiny max raid Magikarp. I always wanted to get one but never had any luck fishing them. Going to teach it Hydro pump.

Edit: Just got another one and I just realized they are both squared shiny! My first ones! Does anyone know if all the magikarp are supposed to be squared?

Just Masuda'd my first Shiny since Diamond, Rookidee! I will be looking to do a lot more shiny hunting in this game since I have a lot more patience with this sort of stuff then I did when I was a kid.

Hello everyone and happy new year!
Hope everyone had a Good time and may we all reach our goals this year.

Congrats lilipup03 on your shiny magikarp, even if its a guaranteed shiny it's a shiny you can add to your collection and thanks to the mints you can change it's nature in case you want to evolve and use it in competitive.

Congrats on your shiny magikarps velveteenwolf, no idea if they are supposed to be guaranteed squared shinies though, but they are cool to have.

Congrats on your shiny rookidee SGR.

News: Got this morning a shiny mienfoo at dragon spiral tower, this time it's adamant but probably with high sp atk stat due to being highly curious, caught it in a heal ball so that it matches with it's shiny evolution. Named it KF Master (for Kung Fu Master) and evolved it into a Mienshao. Now I've got both, the pre evolution and the evolution, and it's my first shiny of the year.

Spoiler:

Spoiler:


Maybe I should start hunting something realated to the year of the rat.

Cya next time and happy shiny hunting.

Update: Found a shiny vanillite at dragonspiral tower yesterday, don't know nature and stats yet because if I change area the season will change and I want to keep it in winter season for now.

:pink_boogie: :boogie: :pink_boogie:HUGE CONGRATS, SHC!! We're the Club of the Year!!!!! :boogie: :pink_boogie: :boogie: *throws balloons* :pink_boogie:

An enormous thanks to VisionofMilotic and Fairy for hosting the competition!!! And for designing our plaque and trophy!!!!! *hangs up hardware in SHC's "Greatest Club Evah" showcase*

We're a pinned thread now, too!! :laugh-squinted:

And a huge thanks to everyone who voted for us - each one of your votes counted, since we ended up winning by exactly one vote! :pink_laugh:

We've won the grand prize - a gift card of our choosing! I'm still not totally sure how we should distribute it, so I'd like you all to vote (again, "lol!" Sorry, hahaha!) on what kind of competition you'd like to determine the winner!

The obvious thing to do would be to have the most intense and crazy shiny hunt ever in the month of January to determine who'll get the gift card when we win, but I'm not so sure that I want to literally commercialize shiny hunting, hahahahaha! Creating an actual monetary incentive for having the most shinies would give people a reason to cheat or lie for the first time in like 10 years, so it could cause problems that we haven't had to deal with in a really, really long time, haha. Maybe we could do an artwork or recruitment (to see who can bring in the most new members!) contest, or something like that. If any of you guys have any cool ideas, absolutely let me know and post here in the thread! Or if you guys are really interested in having money down on a shiny hunt (just this once! :silly:), we could go for that too. It's your call! I'm obviously exempt from winning as the owner, haha. So everyone, post and give your feedback on how we should split up our "Best Club Evah!!!" reward!! :smile:

Reply here in the thread with your ideas, and once we have a couple of votes in, we'll host our grand competition! :laugh:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I got a Switch and Sword!!!! "lol" I'm absolutely loving it so far - Pokémon on a console is absolutely stupendously amazing, and I'm loving every second of it!!! I haven't found any shinies so far, but you guys know where I'll come as soon as I do find one, hahahaha!

I've also taken up SRing for Anorith in Pearl on days when the swarm is something I already have (like Zigzagoon or Electrike, haha). I'm up to 766 SRs so far!

And leave it to icycatelf to get a moth shiny, haha. Of all the possible Pokémon to get in GenVIII, of course you had to go and get the moth one!! :laugh-squinted: "lol!"

Of course! I may actually try hunting all the moth 'mon at full-odds. (Still working on Venonat/Venomoth here and there, but I get distracted easily.)

I think I mentioned before that I was reluctant to try for another Shiny Eevee, afraid that getting another would make the random one I found in X (now Flareon) feel less special, but I was wanting a Pokémon that I could use in-game to represent my cat (a grey domestic longhair) and thought Shiny Eevee was the closest match. I was bouncing between Ultra Sun and VC Gold for the hunt, but I'm glad I ended up getting it in the latter since its shade of grey is closer to my cat in GSC.

7jyBh6a.jpg


Eevee may not clearly be a cat, but I learned recently that Eevee's creator likened it to a "fluffy cat" or "dog-like creature" (though it wasn't directly based on any particular animal). (I thought it was a fox!) That combined with the fact that a few of its evolutions look very feline (namely Vaporeon, Espeon, and Leafeon) makes me want to think of Eevee as a cat—a puppy cat...?

Please tell me you've got something cool like that planned for the upcoming season (whatever that might be, haha)!!
Thanks so much for the kind words! I don't think I'll be doing as much as I did for the past holidays, but I'll definitely attempt some themed hunts for upcoming holidays. Stay tuned!
In the meantime I'd like to share a hunt I'm particularly proud of: I completed the eeveelutions set, plus an extra unevolved eevee! Took me a bit more than a week. From left to right, meet my boys (they're all male, crazy gender ratios!): Glacies, Nox, Poas, Ibera, Argyro, Kathadin, Solaris, Aestas and Opal!

Congrats on the gen 2 shiny eevee icycatelf, that is an amazing accomplishment! I'm team "eevee is a fox" ahah but it definitely also has catlike features and is a worthy avatar for your cat! Plus I love its gen 2 shiny because it can make you feel like you're playing the game in black and white

Thanks, and 'gratz on your Eevee set!

As much as I want to see Eevee as a cat, I still can't help but get fox vibes from it (even with the evidence suggesting otherwise). Its bulbous, light-tipped tail is very typical of a cartoon fox, though a real fox tail basically looks the same as that of a long-haired cat. I think it's the light tip that gets me the most (not that cats can't have a light-tipped tail), but this is actually missing in nearly all of its classic TCG art. I can get past the long ears, which are typical of fantasy animals. I'll probably be giving my TrainerSona a recolored grey Torracat (whenever I get around to drawing the whole gang), but Shiny Eevee with its canon grey coloring is extremely tempting (even more so now that I've got this Eevee)!

I've been wanting a full-odds Shiny Leafeon for a little while (Leafeon being the Eeveelution I can most easily picture myself with IRL), so I've already got a clone reserved for whenenever I reactivate Pokémon Bank. His Hidden Power is Grass, so it's like it was meant to be!

Plus I love its gen 2 shiny because it can make you feel like you're playing the game in black and white

Its greyscale coloring catches me off-guard almost every time, especially when battling something colorful. It's like the two sprites are from different games!

Hi, Happy new year G, Good to see you too. Thank you very much for the congrats. 😀
For now I'm thinking of finding the remaining ice types in the unova region, so far in my black save file I've got a shiny kyurem (from a few years ago), vanillite (recently got a second one), vanilish and soon a vaniluxe when I evolve one of the vanillites, and a beartic. from the unova ice types missing are only cubchoo and cryogonal, which i'm thinking of doing the repel trick, but first i'll try getting a winter deerling, if one of the shinies is repeated i'll change to twist mountain and hunt for cubchoo and cryogonal and try deerling in another route. Good thing about the deerling/sawsbuck line is that they automaticaly change forms according to the season. There are other ice types i've gotten in my other games but i have to check and organize them.
Congrats on your switch and pokemon sword, hope you find many shinies there and also hope you can get that shiny anorith in Pearl soon.

Spoiler:

Congrats on shiny eevee

Spoiler:
Congrats on completing the eevee set and nice picture

News: Got another shiny vanillite in pokemon black at dragon spiral tower, this one is female, has no name yet and I'll stay at dragon spiral tower for a while longer and see if I can get either a winter deerling or a cubchoo before changing location. Good thing season doesn't change as long as you stay in the same route. Once finished I'll check on the pc the nature and personality of both shinies and update it here.
Spoiler:


Cya next time and happy hunting

Update: Got another male shiny mienfoo in pokemon black. Will post pics later in my next update. Interesting fact about the unova pokedex is that it counts the shiny seen only once per gender (maybe form), I mean, i got 3 male mienfoos and only shows that i have seen one shiny, but for those were i got both male and female of the same species shows 2. I'll stay just a Little bit longer at dragon spiral tower, but i most probably will change hunting spot later.

'Sup? Long time no see.

Last I was here I was hunting Shiny Gastly in LGE. I was unsuccessul even with two different chains and once I got a hold of a copy of Sword I had to put it to rest.
I was actually already losing interest a bit before that anyway since Haunter has to be traded to get Gengar and I have no friends who play nor do know if I trust a stranger with a Shiny.
Still, I might circle back to that another time.

I'm now shiny egg hunting in Sword. I've gotten:
Scorbunny
Rookidee
and 2 Eevee. In a row! The second was quite by accident. I'm using both nurseries to shiny egg hunt two Pokemon at once, 2 eggs of one and 1 egg of the other and didn't realize I had two Eevee eggs instead of two Sobble eggs.

It appears the photographic evidence is gonna have to be postponed, Imgur isn't working right now.

I'm currently working on Sobble and Rookidee again as the first was a female and I'd prefer a male.

I did attempt to hunt Rookidee in the wild but I think I got gypped. I maxed out the odds with the 500+ battles and I am certain the 628 that brings it to sans Shiny Charm but got nothing.

Hi everyone

Congrats on your shinies Liquid Halo. I understand your situation, it's hard when you don't have anyone around to trade evolve pokemon and the fear of loosing one.

News: Well, not really news but something is something, this is from pokemon go where I got 4 shiny piplup during community day, a random turtwig egg during that day and a random shiny onix yesterday. Evolved one of them into empoleon.

Cya next time and happy hunting

I've had some trouble logging onto the forum recently but in january, in anticipation of the Lunar new year of the Rat, I did a rodents-themed hunt, which I think only you guys will appreciate ahah. Here's Fluorence the patrat (184 eggs), Megawatt the Raichu (Many, many SOS calls), Ratthew the ratatta (113 eggs) and Ratasha the Alolan ratata (a grueling ONE SOS call!). I also SOS chained a pichu whose name I'm forgetting and a Pikachu called Kilowatt, and hatched a Marill, Limna. Now I'm attempting a Valentine's day-themed hunt but also in the long term I would like my shiny hunts to result in having a full shiny monotype team for every type (inspired by a post I saw on reddit). We'll see how far away I am from that goal

Congratulations! Duplicate shinies are great when they are of a pokemon that can evolve, cause you can get the stronger final evo but also keep one at a lower stage. I like vanillite's shiny better than it's evos personally

I think it's very cool how you try to have personal connections with your choice of pokemon! Honestly a white and grey litten line would look amazing! I've always been a bit disappointed in leafeon's shiny (especially since it's such a great design) but from pictures I've seen of the switch games, its shiny looks much better and more distinct, not to mention prettier, there

Congrats, that's a nice shiny collection for the chinese new year. Those Hunts sound fun, go for it.
I also like vanillite's color more than it's evos, would have liked the colors were kept in the evos, more like a strawberry ice cream instead of the pre evo strawberry flavored and the others either be blueberry or grape flavor (fun fact grape ice cream exists but it's rare due to the difficulty to make it).

Pokémon go news: I'm going to divide news in pokemon go and main games shinies. Yesterday got a shiny magikarp and a shiny magmar:
Spoiler:


Main games hunt: Still hunting and hoping something different to appear.

Cya next time and happy hunting

Shinies caught: Shiny Ditto in Ultra Sun and Shiny Raticate in Fire Red.


So I was grinding my team to level 40 in Fire Red, and I encountered a shiny Raticate! I was so freaked out, and I used my only master ball and I nicknamed him Sparkles! I will need to over level him up to level 60, because Raticate has terrible stats! I'm so happy though!

Hey everybody, me again! Another month, another holiday shiny hunt. This time, a Valentine's day special with all pink shiny. This has been a great success, because I got my first ever non-mystery gift shiny legendary!!! Aramis the Virizion at around 1520 SRs joined this month's other hunts, Cerise the cutiefly, Peach the Togedemaru, Valentine the sneasel, and Arenal the Magmar (all SOS hunts) and Acantha the Mareanie (552 eggs).

Been lurking here for years and just noticed this club existed. My shinys are in my trade sheet link in my signature. I recently hatched my first shiny in gen 8, little bunny boi, and currently hunting shiny green monkey boi 😁

Update! I've very disorganized so I didn't get my pictures together until now. I've found 3 shinies over the course of a month and a half since my last update...but all of them are repeats! >__<

First, I randomly found a shiny Graveler on LGP while making the rounds collecting items. (I was using the Pokéball controller so no screenshots until it was safely in the ball.) Shiny charm, no catch combo. I already have a shiny Graveler on Pearl and had a shiny Geodude on my stolen Diamond, but a shiny's a shiny I guess.
Spoiler:


I've gone back to finishing Ultra Sun now that I've finished Shield, including Living Pokédex, and the first thing that shows up on that mountain route near the observatory is a shiny Beldum! 1/4096 "full" odds. I already chained shiny Beldums in the sandstorm on Pearl.
Spoiler:


Then, on the same Ultra Sun game, I find a shiny Psyduck in Ten Carat Hill which I was cleaning house in after obtaining Sharpedo's ride. Also full odds!
Spoiler:


I also managed to randomly enter two different shiny Max Raids and catch them, but they're probably RNGed. Still pretty to look at:
Spoiler:


It's so weird that I'm finding all these full odds shinies on US but still haven't gotten that shiny Stufful yet. >__< My number caught (Shield, shiny charm) is past 400 now. Odds close to being maxed. Good luck on your hunts, everyone!

Current targets: Stufful (Shield), Giratina (Platinum), and Druddigon (Black 2)
