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! |

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! http://www.pkparaiso.com/imagenes/xy/sprites/animados-shiny/taillow.gif http://www.pkparaiso.com/imagenes/xy/sprites/animados-shiny/whismur.gif http://www.pkparaiso.com/imagenes/xy/sprites/animados-shiny/nosepass.gif http://www.pkparaiso.com/imagenes/xy/sprites/animados-shiny/aipom.gif 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 ^_^

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 ^^ Without further adue the pics! http://i.imgur.com/ZfkLeVw.jpg http://i.imgur.com/ZJSdXbU.jpg http://i.imgur.com/SrnAYnq.jpg http://i.imgur.com/b41EuFe.jpg http://i.imgur.com/0ImoVcU.jpg |

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

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. |

It's ok, don't worry, congrats on machop. 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? ;) Quote:
Congrats, very beautiful shiny and a good one to start the year. |
@G-Money & Chr. Draco goodluck on the race!

But while I was taking a break from the actual bug quest team hunting I got this little guy ^^ Maybe this could be the start of a grass team http://i.imgur.com/SW1qvf3.jpg Sending them shiny vibes to everyone! |
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!~ |
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! |

I wish I had the Shiny Charm ; - ; Guess that's my own fault for being a lazy pokemaniac :p May I ask what you're looking for? |

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? http://www.pkparaiso.com/imagenes/xy/sprites/animados-shiny/crawdaunt.gif |
I met by chance roggenrola and i have evolve it into gigalith
and ... O ... o ... omg, that's imposible ... http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/75935720160119041627.jpg FIRST EGG !!! I'm sooo happy, but her nature is neutral (she's a female) |
Congrats on the new shinies guys!
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! Spoiler:

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:} Spoiler:
Back to the Fiery Path! *sees Chr. Draco running up the mountain and chasing a Torkoal* *summons shiny Wingull to try to catch up* Spoiler:

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: Spoiler:
2016 Shinies: 1429 Hordes – Spinda 0139 Hordes - Skarmory Next Target - Electrike, Route 118 |

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! Spoiler:
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. |
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. |
