Good luck for everyone's current hunts!

If the lead/first Pokemon in your party has the Static or Magnet Pull ability, it greatly increases the chance of finding an Electric (static) or Steel (Magnet Pull) type Pokemon. So for example, on Route 113 with Hordes it is normally 95% Spinda 5% Skarmory. With the Magnet, its more like 60% Spinda, 40% Skarmory. So MUCH better chance to get Skarmory than before.

In X/Y, there is a 35% chance for a horde to be Mareep: with Magnet Pull it is more like 65-75% (not sure on the actual numbers). So it can be a handy tool in a few cases. NOTE - also works on standard encounters, not just hordes!

And GL on your Badgequest!

Oh that's really handy, definitely gonna utilise that! Are there any others that help attract other types?

Just those 2 sadly. Would be great if there was one for each type!

Phew. It's been a while! I hadn't had the time to even think about picking up a Pokemon game for quite some time. But, now that I have, I've had a little bit of luck!

After 2216 encounters, I spotted a shiny Taillow (nicknamed Cadbury) in ORAS- the third Pokemon for my shinylocke. And right after that, I was racking up capture-power in Rusturf Tunnel- and happened up on a shiny Whismur (nicknamed Mochi) in a surprise horde. Now that I've got four Pokemon in my shinylocke team, a shiny Nincada should finish it off! I've recently misplaced my Y cartridge- until I can find it again, I've been hunting on a spare X game instead. This morning, after about 751 encounters, I nabbed a shiny Nosepass, and after 111, a shiny Aipom. I named them Honeydew and Macaron respectively- getting two shinies in one afternoon was a big pick-me-up!

Also- I've started a new Pokemon-based Instagram: whisrnur! Hopefully I'll have a bit more activity on there soon. I'll try to be a little more active on here, too- 'til then, happy hunting! :15:

Congrats on your shinies! They all look awesome, I really have gotta try and put some time into a hunt, so I can show you guys the outcome ^_^

DarkTorchic January 15th, 2016 2:24 PM

Congrats on the shinies guys, absolutly love the mudkip. Goodluck on the future hunts too!
*shiny vibes*

Like I promised a list of the shiny pokemon I caught over the past days.
All are bug type, so I'm one away from getting my first Quest team completed ^^

777 Fiery Path/Route 112 encounters

I hunted for a shiny Numel for a little bit on Route 112, but then I switched over to Fiery Path, as it has a better array of Axiom 22 targets. Torkoal is totally awesome, and I actually wouldn't mind a shiny Koffing either. I've always thought that Koffing was a pretty lame Pokemon, but its Emerald sprite is terrific and it looks really cool when I'm battling it, haha. The shiny colors are awesome too, so I'd be really happy getting any of Numel, Torkoal, or Koffing, "lol."

I totally didn't notice that I had a Static Manectric at the front of my party this whole time, which I had been using in case one of the Route 116 Pokemon physically attacked. I had been thinking of using it to induce paralysis when I'm trying to catch a shiny, but I totally forgot about its out-of-battle effect! So despite having done 2016 encounters on Route 110, I have no idea what Pokemon are common there and whatnot, since I'd been pretty much seeing only Electrike and Minun, haha. I don't know whether I'm going to keep Static going when I get back there, since Electrike is one of the coolest shinies from that route anyway.

I've also taken the Path of the Dragon status out of my signature. I'm not abandoning it!!! I'm just focusing on my Ghost Quest right now (well, kind of, "lol") and I'll probs do the Starter Quest after that, so I won't be getting to Rayquaza anytime soon. Besides, I might do a Badge Quest on HG, so my 2/7 would be misleading - I'd need more than twice that many shinies!

Spoiler:


Sorry man, but we can't support the use of emulators in the club. If you have a DS, we'd really rather have you hunt on that, but obviously they're your games so you can choose to hunt however you want. If you don't have a DS (or you really need to use an emulator for some other reason), you're more than welcome to hunt there and talk about it here in the club, and we'd be thrilled to hear about your shiny captures and hunts the same as if you were hunting on a DS. The only thing that's different is that they wouldn't officially count towards the Yearly/Seasonal Quests, but you're still more than welcome to try to complete them and race against other members. The most important rule of the club is to have fun, and if you're having fun hunting for shinies, by all means keep on doing that!

We just can't officially say that we're supporting illegal activity. I hope you understand what I mean. I'm not by any means saying you can't hunt there, and you're more than welcome to still try to complete the Quest; it's just that we can't give it official recognition. That being said, completing it (on normal speed!!!) would be an incredible feat worth talking about, and it would still be really fun to race against other members to see how many teams you can make!! :)


Congrats!! I'd still like to get a shiny Poochyena someday to avenge my uncatchable, first-encounter Pooch from Sapphire!

Huge congrats on the Mudkip, Spoony!! Forty hours is a ton of time hunting, and your dedication paid off!! A well-deserved shiny indeed. Do you plan on evolving it and playing through the game with it?


And where did the underlines under our names go!? :pink_confused:

Nice place, I challenge you to a race at fiery path, my main target will be torkoal.
also, how many pokemon left until you complete your ghost challenge?
and also i was looking at past post and read that latios master retired, sad really, one of the best shiny hunters, he will always be in our memories, best wishes for him.

on my side no shinies yet. i'm switching hunts from time to time, but my main focus are zigzagoon and torkoal.

G-Money January 15th, 2016 11:02 PM

Woah, I totally wasn't expecting this!! A SHINY MACHOP in the Fiery Path!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was getting ready for some long hunts after the Nincada miracle, but Machop shone on encounter #1836! Unlike my last few shinies, Machop managed to escape my first few Premier Balls, but I got him eventually!

Draco, this doesn't count for our Fiery Path race! :pink_evil:

Haha, I know the feeling! I can never bring myself to evolve any of my shinies...the only one I've ever had evolve was my shiny Bulbasaur so that I could play through FR with a shiny starter, but later on I wanted a shiny Bulbasaur again, so I'm back in Oak's lab SRing, haha.

It's on!!! I haven't had a race in a good long while, and I'll be looking forward to this! Let's not count my Machop, since it wouldn't be any fun to end a race before it starts, haha!

To make it more interesting, want to have the race not count any shiny Machop or Slugma? Not that shiny Slugma isn't cool, but I already have one, and there are a ton of cool new Pokemon to find on the route!

I have 6 left! There's still Sableye, Frillish, Snorunt, Pumpkaboo, Phantump, and the signature - the definitive - Ghost, of whom I am not yet worthy. I'm hunting Sableye in Challenger's Cave in Black, but Sableye only appears 10% of the time, so the expectation is that it'll take around 81,920 encounters. I don't expect to get that one for a while, haha! I might do a bit of Granite Cave as a leg of my Hoenn tour, but Sableye's at 10% there too, "lol." This is my next hunt, though, and I'll probably go after Sableye once I drop my DS running Emerald/the power goes out/I get all the cool Hoenn route shinies.

Frillish shouldn't be too hard, but that's an awesome summer shiny! I'll continue hunting in Humilau City once the weather gets warm - what kind of trainer wants to go surfing for shinies in the winter!? {XD}

Snorunt is probably going to take forever, "lol." I'm breeding 1/8192 for this one, and even if I get a shiny, there's a 50% chance it'll be male and won't even count for my Ghost Quest, "lol!" :pink_giggle:

I'll keep on hunting for Pumpkaboo and Phantump on Mélancolie Path during Septembers and Octobers. I can probably get Pumpkaboo pretty quickly, but Phantump is rarely found in the wild, so I might have like 50 shiny Pumpkaboo before a Phantump decides to shine, haha.

By the time I get all of these, there might be more Ghosts!!! When I first started this Quest there were 15 Ghosts, but GenVI brought three more, haha. I wouldn't be surprised if GenVII came before I find both Sableye and Snorunt! :laugh:

My first Shiny of the Year. :)

Whilst looking for a Virizion on the GTS. (It's one of my favourite Legendaries). Someone was offering a Shiny one for nothing more than a Yveltal which having very recently purchased Y I had a spare of.

I really like the Pink here. It is a beautiful and elegant looking Shiny. :)

I plan to use it in Contests. Imagine how the judge would react at seeing a Shiny Legendary.:D

Next Hunt: Chain Fishing for Shellder and Skrelp in Y Once I have finished my Y Grass Monotype.

I agree with the rules, no slugma no machop, that would be interesting. :)
about the ghost quest, you can complete it, you're almost finished with the ghost challenge, a couple of ghost types won't hurt, it just gives more motivation and determination to want to complete it. Make a good signature when you complete it ok? ;)

Wailmer January 17th, 2016 4:47 PM

Congrats all to your awesome shinies ^^!

For the past 4-5 days I've been obsessed with Shiny Hunting and I'm glad I got results c:

So far:
- Wailmer x2
- Clauncher
- Emolga
- Poliwag
- Mareep
- Luvdisc

Couldn't find Shiny Corsola :c it has such an awesome blue, but 5% encounter rate whilst chain fishing is difficult.
Currently trying to find either a Hoppip or a Psyduck via. hordes
Wish me luck!~

Paulthagerous January 17th, 2016 6:22 PM

Congrats guys on all the new shinies!

My luck is the complete opposite of Wailmer's - with the Shiny Charm and horde hunting, I should see a shiny roughly every 273 hordes (15/4096 odds). Am currently at 820 Hordes (4100 Pokemon seen) and no shiny. That's just ticked over to worse odds than if I had no shiny charm :(

Oh well, gotta keep going!

Aw don't worry, I'm sure you'll get one very soon.
I wish I had the Shiny Charm ; - ; Guess that's my own fault for being a lazy pokemaniac :p

  • Hope my luck improves too! Just hit 920 hordes, still no shiny...
  • The Shiny charm obviously takes the odds down a lot, but it is a pain to catch em all!
  • Sure :) Hunting for Skarmory on both AS and OR on Route 113. Already have a spinda so fingers crossed. Magnet Pull makes the odds a lot better than the standard 5%!

D'aw, such a warm welcome! Yeah- the shinylocke had a little bit of a rough start. But after a few 2000+ encounter shinies, I started getting encounters in the low hundreds, and even surprise encounters. So, I'm hoping that Nincada will be kind to me! :15: Thankfully there's a route in ORAS where Nincada is (I believe) the most likely horde, so that's a huge plus.


Not a ton of luck this weekend- but since today is a holiday, I stayed up a bit late. I was feeling lucky- and ended up finding a lovely shiny Crawdaunt in 481 REs. Planning on naming her Gumbo! I've been picking out types to go for at random lately, but is there any particular type someone would like to see me hunt for?

I FINALLY broke my streak - Horde 1429 (remember its 273 on average to find a shiny..) had a ... Spinda. The one I didn't want. Oh well, better than nothing! At least I know my games aren't broken!


G-Money January 19th, 2016 1:32 PM

Woah, SHINY WINGULL!!!!!!!!!!!

Hahaha, I was watching its wings to see if they were green and I was like, yup, this one's right...wait!!! That's a shiny!! So soon? Haha, I'm really surprised to see yet another cool Hoenn route shiny so quickly! I was really hoping to find a Wingull on this mini-Hoenn tour, since it's pretty emblematic of the Hoenn region in general. I'm also really glad it wasn't an Electric-type, since now I can go back later in the tour with Static and have only like a 1% chance of Wingull, haha.

It came on encounter #3299, yet another short hunt! I've now found three 1/8192 shinies in my last 5136 encounters, four in my last 7801, and five in my last 14848! Pretty crazy luck!! I've gone 20000+ without finding shinies before, but now I have five in way less than that many encounters, haha! *hugs Hoenn region*

This year is off to a pretty great start. I didn't get three shinies in all of 2012. In 2013, it was December before I found my third shiny. In 2014, it was August before my third shiny. In 2015, it was June before my third shiny. Now I have three in January!! This is by far a personal January record for me, haha. *spreads luck throughout SHC*

Wingull was caught in my first Premier Ball. I've made a special box on Emerald for shinies; including my Electrode from Ruby, there are 10 Pokemon there now!!! {D:}



Back to the Fiery Path!
*sees Chr. Draco running up the mountain and chasing a Torkoal*

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! DO NOT GO INTO THE SAFARI ZONE!!!!!! It's a shiny hunter's worst nightmare - you might find a shiny, and it'll try to run away!!! Don't do it, DarkTorchic!!!!!!!

Sweet, congrats on the Oddish! That makes you the first of us to have six 2016 shinies!!

For the past 4-5 days I've been obsessed with Shiny Hunting and I'm glad I got results c:

So far:
- Wailmer x2
- Clauncher
- Emolga
- Poliwag
- Mareep
- Luvdisc

Couldn't find Shiny Corsola :c it has such an awesome blue, but 5% encounter rate whilst chain fishing is difficult.
Currently trying to find either a Hoppip or a Psyduck via. hordes
Wish me luck!~

Before I officially accept you into the club, I just have one question: how are you going to catch the shinies once you find them? Wailmer have pretty short arms, so how are you going to throw the Pokeball?

Spoiler:
:P

Welcome to the club, Wailmer! I totally agree about Corsola being an awesome shiny! Good luck on your hunts, although it looks like you already have plenty of good luck on your side with so many shinies in such a short time!

*sends more good luck anyway*

D'aw, such a warm welcome! Yeah- the shinylocke had a little bit of a rough start. But after a few 2000+ encounter shinies, I started getting encounters in the low hundreds, and even surprise encounters. So, I'm hoping that Nincada will be kind to me! :15: Thankfully there's a route in ORAS where Nincada is (I believe) the most likely horde, so that's a huge plus.


Not a ton of luck this weekend- but since today is a holiday, I stayed up a bit late. I was feeling lucky- and ended up finding a lovely shiny Crawdaunt in 481 REs. Planning on naming her Gumbo! I've been picking out types to go for at random lately, but is there any particular type someone would like to see me hunt for?

Sweet Crawdaunt, congrats!! I'd go for something that no one else is going for for the Yearly Quest - there are tons of types to go for, so it might be fun to try for something unique!!

Hope you get the Nincada soon!

FIRST EGG !!!
I'm sooo happy, but her nature is neutral (she's a female)

That's awesome!!! The first egg!!!! Congrats on finding two really awesome shinies!! Those are quite possibly the two coolest GenV shinies.

Also, when did you catch your Poochyena and Zigzagoon? Were they in 2016?

I FINALLY broke my streak - Horde 1429 (remember its 273 on average to find a shiny..) had a ... Spinda. The one I didn't want. Oh well, better than nothing! At least I know my games aren't broken!


Woot, massive congrats!!! That's more than five times over the odds!!!! Congrats on sticking with it and having the dedication to keep hunting until you found a shiny!!

And that picture is awesome. The Spinda look like a perfectly choreographed dance team, and you caught the star of the show! :pink_laugh:

Hahaha, I was watching its wings to see if they were green and I was like, yup, this one's right...wait!!! That's a shiny!! So soon? Haha, I'm really surprised to see yet another cool Hoenn route shiny so quickly! I was really hoping to find a Wingull on this mini-Hoenn tour, since it's pretty emblematic of the Hoenn region in general. I'm also really glad it wasn't an Electric-type, since now I can go back later in the tour with Static and have only like a 1% chance of Wingull, haha.

It came on encounter #3299, yet another short hunt! I've now found three 1/8192 shinies in my last 5136 encounters, four in my last 7801, and five in my last 14848! Pretty crazy luck!! I've gone 20000+ without finding shinies before, but now I have five in way less than that many encounters, haha! *hugs Hoenn region*

This year is off to a pretty great start. I didn't get three shinies in all of 2012. In 2013, it was December before I found my third shiny. In 2014, it was August before my third shiny. In 2015, it was June before my third shiny. Now I have three in January!! This is by far a personal January record for me, haha. *spreads luck throughout SHC*

Wingull was caught in my first Premier Ball. I've made a special box on Emerald for shinies; including my Electrode from Ruby, there are 10 Pokemon there now!!! {D:}


Woot, massive congrats!!! That's more than five times over the odds!!!! Congrats on sticking with it and having the dedication to keep hunting until you found a shiny!!

Congrats on your 3rd shiny of the year! You are beating me with 1/8192 odds and I am doing Hordes with Shiny Charm in 6th gen lol!

And FYI, in 6th gen the safari zone battles work just like regular ones, so no longer a place to be scared of :)

Thankfully after that horribly long hunt, my luck has returned to normal. Next one came 139 hordes later:



2016 Shinies:

1429 Hordes – Spinda
0139 Hordes - Skarmory

Next Target - Electrike, Route 118

Thanks, and congrats on the Bibarels! My record was 5 Geodudes in 1 chain in 4th gen, I am sure others have gotten more.

So have kept up with the hordes, Electrike showed up after 139 hordes, pretty happy with that. Took a bit longer, 469, to get Meditite, then just 19 hordes later I got a Shuppet! was very surprised that one came so quickly!


2016 Shinies:

1429 Hordes – AS - Spinda
0139 Hordes – AS - Skarmory
0130 Hordes – AS – Electrike
0469 Hordes – AS – Meditite
0019 Hordes – OR - Shuppet

Yay! It's my favourite starter, in Shiny Form.

Found this guy on the GTS. The other person only wanted a female Braixen which I had. (I have 2 Braixen Friend Safari) He has a Leaf Storm. I already have a Sceptile but it has a nickname so I might EV train him and take him to the Maison. :)

Y - Victoria

Shiny Female Skrelp - Found whilst chain fishing and levelling up my Simisage for my Monotype. I really like the purple here. I plan to evolve it into Dragalge.

Wailmer January 22nd, 2016 3:39 AM

Haha thank you all~
And congrats to all the new pretty shinies! I'm mildly envious of all the new sparkly pokemon everyone has gotten recently *-*

I think my luck may have ran out. I reached 1134 hordes trying for a Shiny Psyduck and Hoppip but alas no shiny.
But that's no reason to give up!

@G-Money
I'm a Wailmer. I am the Pokeball.
:P Nothing escapes me engulfing them. I keep my shinies lined up like trophies up against my intestinal wall. ^^

Yay for Horde Hunting!(And the Shiny Charm) :)

X - Stephanie

Shiny Female Weepinbell (Harriet) - Found whilst horde hunting on the Route by Snowbelle City. After 40 hoard encounters she popped up at the far right of the Hoard. When stood next to its regular counterpart the difference the Shiny Pallette has is noticeable. Indeed the Shiny Pallette fits the term 'Shiny', it is a the original colour scheme dipped in shine juice.

She has a Careful Nature and the ability Chlorophyll. I plan to evolve her into Victreebell (Not the best Shiny but still) and see how she fares in battle.

Next Hunt - Horde Hunting Hoppip on Route 7 in X.
