Seeing as things got a little nostalgic around here might aswell chime in, Havent really played pokemon since sun and moon came out. I still hate them games even though I bought US/UM for my collection.
I still hunt on occasion but real life gets in the way. |
I’m estactic my longest shiny hunt ended today, well sort of
I started shiny hunting for Nidoran female probably back in mid 2017. I started masuda method hunting for it in Aug 2017. Today my horde hunting ended, shiny Nidoran female appeared at 191 hordes. I will add up all 26 shiny totals to determine # of Pokemon seen later. Overall I found 16 shiny Nidoran males, haven’t checked natures so not sure if I have one of each, 8 Stunky’s. In Dec I found a shiny Starly on phase 19. I traded one of the males away but will list all natures later. I’ve hatched over 3,000 eggs and counting. Will continue this hunt. I plan to do random encounters for Nidorina. Twice if the masuda results in a male, once if female. I will add the other Pokemon I found this month later. |
Here's the July shinies list
Stunky #8 on the 10th in 435 hordes Nidoran male #16 on the 15th in 87 hordes (I found a random shiny male Nidoran in my PC so this is actually #16) Excadrill on the 16th in 244 FS encounters Vanillite #9 on the 18th in 240 hordes Cubchoo #8 on the 23rd in 123 hordes Nidoran female on the 27th in 191 hordes I found a Nidoran male in my pc from Jun 16th that I forgot to count for so the Nidoran female was actually phase 26. Adding the 25 Phases together I got 13,881 hordes. It is more with the Jun 16th Nidoran but I don't know how many encounters that one was. It looks like one of the shiny Nidoran males had hidden ability, Hustle. In terms of natures I didn't get one of each. |
Just to chime in a bit, I managed to get 2 shinies since my last update.
Beldum at 976 eggs at BW Deino at 112 eggs at BW Unfortunately, the nature of the deino is jolly :( |
Hey guys! o/
For many years, Pokemon Gaming Central was pretty much the home of the Shiny Hunter's Club. What's changing though, is that since we've opened up a new forum dedicated exclusively to clubs, we've been wondering whether or not everyone here would be okay with this club being relocated more in our new Clubhouse forum (feel free to take a look!) rather than remaining here in PGC, but it's up to you guys. Please let us know what you think! EDIT: got approval from the club owner to do this, however I'm going to leave a redirect for about two weeks or so, just so everyone has enough time to catch up! |
Woohoo! Shortest Egg hunt ever! I started hunting for shiny pokemon for my rainbow challenge and in 6 Eggs I got a Shiny Sandygast!!!
Perfect pokemon for the rainbow challenge, during the summer and in Alola! Not only that but I was playing on the beach in another game when I got this one! Spoiler:
Edit: I have now caught a Shiny Swablu in Pokemon Go! First shiny outside of a community day. Edit 2: I have now caught a shiny Barbaracle . And since it has a good amount of pink on it, I will consider it my pink pokemon!! Only a red, white and grey to go!! |
Behold, my beautiful son.
https://i.imgur.com/OsjI7gc.png I think it took me between 250-320 SR's approximately, to find him, which blows my mind considering (most) Youtube videos I find about shining hunting Lapras have a ridiculous SR time. I find that insane because this is my first serious shiny hunt ever. The lad refused to get in my Super or Ultra balls but I somehow was able catch him using a normal ball. Once. :U https://i.imgur.com/W9VJ9SC.png so sexeh I actually did all of it purely for curiosity. Just to see how it was like to SR hunt like Poketubers are doing. It was a pretty alright experience! I'll definitely do it again with easy mons to hunt like Lapras. Oh, and I'm keeping him along with Dennis, who's now a Slowking. I'm replacing him with that Milotic >:3c Lastly his ridiculous nickname didn't come out of the blue, it's from an original character of mine who's also a dinosaur. Because lol I guess. Edit: Plesiosaurs, which Lapras resembles, aren't dinos, whoops |

Gratz on the Lapras!! I haven't seen one in a long time. It is one that I want to get. As for my hunt, I caught 4 Shiny Eevees in Pokemon Go and evolved 2 of them into Vaporeons and 1 into Jolteon. My last one is sitting on my shoulder waiting to get 10km steps so I can evolve it into an Umbreon. Hopng to get a few more tomorrow to keep for a Glaceon in Pokemon Go when it comes out and a few more to try to get Flareon and maybe for Espeon and Leafeon. Spoiler:

I've never really played Pokemon Go nor did it caught my interest. To me it looks difficult to manage, and I don't have any device where I can download it on either. Still, hooray for your Eevees! As I'm typing, I'm soft resetting for a shiny Dragonair, and currently at 84. In the hacked ROM I'm playing, the Dragon's Den gift Dratini has been changed to a Dragonair. I really hope it isn't shiny locked or anything and I can SR for it like it works in the normal game. ;w; |
A pink boi.
https://i.imgur.com/EZZdoM1.png It only took me 331 SR's! I began hunting since yesterday afternoon and I'm happy I woke up to see him. I was hoping for a female one because I already have 3 males in my party and I wanted to sorta balance that out. I don't know why I'm so perfectionist with the genders of my team, that's just me being weird. Edit: Goofy me, the dragon's name is spelled with 2 t's! Fixed that. |
OH MY GOODNESS, ONLY 10 EFFING SOFT RESETS??!!!
https://i.imgur.com/Q3nBq3m.png I SWEAR I AM NOT USING ANY ACTION REPLAY, THIS WAS IN FULL ODDS. HOLY HELL. TEN. SOFT. RESETS. This has to be the fastest shiny of my life. Weirdest part? I began SRing while watching SupremeRk9's video on shiny Lugia, and this happened when the video reached the part where he encountered the shiny. Is this a sign? QAQ Edit: Aight, I have it now. The catch was really clunky; I spent my masterball on it only because it began to use struggle and basically I was panicking. No way in heck I'll let it slip away from my hands. Next time I'll try to be more prepared! https://i.imgur.com/jbc62ww.png |
On Aug 6th I found a shiny Machop in Glittering Cave in 1,355 soft resets of the dark patch.
My targets were Cubone, Kangaskhan and Lunatone so will have to try again. On 14th I finally found shiny Azurill on Route 22. It was phase 4, I originally found shiny Psyduck, Litleo and Bunnelby. I finally decided to do the repel trick and got a level 7 Chinchou with Illuminate. To save my repel I just soft reset once it ran out. It appeared at 713 encounters. Azurill is one of my favorite green shinies. I returned to Azure Bay to hunt for Exeggcute and found a shiny Wingull in 51 random encounters, 14 random hordes and all 14 hordes were Wingull. The last time I got a random horde shiny I kept going and got a shiny soon after so will keep going here. |

Aahhh it's has been a long while, since I last posted here, but I started hunting again and with success!
Beedrill 25 dex navs imgur.com/a/CcxMWOR |
I started a random encounter full odds hunt in Frost Cavern and at 128 encounters I got my shiny. Funny enough it was Smoochum.
I was horde hunting Smoochum before, got 9 Vanillite and 8 Cubchoo. So figures I get it in my first random encounter hunt in the Frost Cavern Its my 4th 5% shiny, and since I was mainly going for Jynx and Smoochum I will keep hunting here for Jynx. For the record I kept track of all Smoochum hordes I encountered, in 128 I saw 5 Smoochum hordes. I saw 524 Smoochum hordes thoughout the 17 shinies I found previously. |

Currently hunting wimpod in usum. wish me luck?

Current goals
Vulpix: 523 dexnav Caterpie : 330 eggs New mauville : 898 hordes After a few tough days shiny wise I got fed up with the Vulpix hunt, so decided to do some hordes will watching some tv series. Hordes being the easiet to do will watching tv. I manged to get myself a zubat in 29 hordes. That was a quick one so I thought why not go for a second hordes from which I have no pokemon. I started horde hunting in new mauville with magnemite & voltorb, two shinies I don't have. After 613 hordes I managed to get a shiny voltorb. After that find I decided to keep going in new mauville, because I still need the evolved kind of both & magnemite ofcourse. I also decided to try the pokeradar in XY, because I used to be good at it in platinum. I were a stressful few hours with a lot of broken chains, trying to get the hang of it. But than it happend I managed a chain above 15, didn't get highr before the chain kept going and when I hit 30 my shiny patch appeared. I was exstatic finally my golden worm Caterpie in a 30rd chain. I tried to get going but at 35 I stepped into a decoy patch and that was it for the chain, so I'll have to try again to get me some more caterpie to evolve and complete the line. :) Proof of the shinies https://i.imgur.com/uspeO04.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ZHaOLqv.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Z5dRLmH.jpg As always good hunting to all, sending shiny vibes ^^ |

OH MY FREAKING GOSH!!!! MY FIRST EVER LEGIT SHINY HUNT!!!! AND UNDER 1000 SRs!!!!!!! I am shaking all over right now!!! Freaking shiny giratina!!!!! also my first ever shiny legend that I caught. Oh my gosh. I do not even. Had to use master ball, ran out of all my others. Dialga and palkia will be a pain in the butt. But Shiny freaking giratina!!!!!! I was watching a shiny hunt video, and I got it at the EXACT same time as they did.
|
Ok. I have begun my next hunt. for shiny Azelf. So far, no sparkles. But it won't evade me forever. Anyway, thanks for the luck. And I'll attempt to pick up more of your vibes Mr. Torchic

Last time I posted I here I was using my old account. It's been awhile. Back shiny hunting, (with shiny Umbreon, my pride and joy) and I'm going back to ORAS to try and get my first Dexnav (tried lots but one never materialised).
Recieved a shiny Flygon in wonder trade a couple days back though?? it did look a bit suspect though so I let it go, despairingly. -Edit- After staying up to almost 3am and after 401 search levels for Pidgeotto, I finally found a shiny one! my first Dexnav shiny, and I'm so glad I didn't give up (was close to doing so). |
Vulpix: 523 dexnavs
new mauville: 1091 hordes So I decided to keep chaining now that I got the hang of it. Found a pidgey at a chain of 11. Named it Filippe to commemorate a friend that has recently passed away. May he rest in peace. After the pidgey I went back to santelune forest to get more caterpie and a weedle for my dex. I used the pokeradar, went into the first patch (non shiny normal patch) and BAM shiny catrepie out of the blue. I continued the chain and after a while it broke on a pansear, making me reset my game. I compleetly forgot about the caterpie I caught causing it to be gone in the data, goofbye caterpie. Well I just keep on chaining to get more, to complete my evolution lines for weedle and caterpie Proof of shinies https://i.imgur.com/CU4yHLN.jpg As always keep on hunting a sending shiny vibes!! ^^ |
