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

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! Quote:

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. Spoiler:
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

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) |
Started hunting shiny galarian ponyta in Sword. Haven't had luck yet but I also haven't hunted a ton yet either so I still have a ways to go. I have managed to catch a few den shinies though!

Get ready for...
The Great Shiny Nickname Contest!!! It's time for our major contest to celebrate our Club of the Year victory! There were 0 votes for all of the contest ideas ("lol") so I'm tentatively making this one our contest (unless someone comes up with a better idea, haha!)! There are three steps in this contest: 1) Find shinies! 2) Catch shinies! 3) Give your shinies cool nicknames! Let's see who can come up with the most amazing, stupendous, awe-inspiring, and jaw-dropping names to adorn their sparkling triumphs! :laugh: So go out and catch as many shinies as you can from February 29th, 2020 through March 31st, 2020, and post your shinies and their nicknames here! Then we'll all vote between April 1st and April 7th, and the person whose shinies received the most votes will be crowned "Champion of Shiny Pokémon, Majesty of Majestic Monikers, Finder of Phenomenal Pseudonyms, and Royal Excellency of the Most Exalted Nomenclatures." You will also receive a $20 gift card to a store of your choice! I tried to design a contest that rewarded getting more shinies, but not to the extent that it would incentivize nefarious behavior. I think I struck a balance here so that getting more shinies increases your probability of winning (if you have more shinies, your Pokémon will make up a larger percentage of the pool of potential candidates), but getting more shinies doesn't strictly correspond to winning unless you can come up with some killer names for them. It's possible for someone to win this competition with just one shiny in the whole month*, so everyone has a fair shot at competing!! *But wait, there's more! This is a leap year, and we can celebrate our superb luck in getting to live in a year with an extra day (woot woot!! :boogie: :pink_boogie: :boogie: :pink_boogie:) by having an extra day for the contest!! So go out there and hunt some really cool shinies, and enjoy your extra day in February, too! For a shiny to be eligible, you'll need to post it - and its nickname! - by midnight HST (which is pretty close to the International Date Line, so that gives you a few extra hours to post if, say, you got a shiny at like 11:55 PM in your time zone and you need time to log on to PC and post and totally not because I just picked the time zone where I live :laugh: ). For the purposes of this contest, you can't change a shiny's name once you've posted it, and each shiny can only have one nickname. Between April 1st and April 7th, everyone will be able to vote on their favorite nickname/shiny combo that was posted during the contest, and voting will close at midnight HST on April 7th. Everyone will get one vote, although I'd be opening to giving everyone three votes if you guys think that's a better idea. Let me know! Maybe it would be a good idea to honor the runners-up, even if there's no grand prize for them...or maybe we could craft less-prestigious titles for the 2nd and 3rd place finishers, "lol!" The winner will be the shiny hunter who gets the most votes for all of their shinies added together, so the same person getting votes for multiple different shinies won't be hurt from vote-splitting. This should keep intact the incentive to get as many shinies as possible, and to give them all amazing names! :nod: If you guys think this is a really dumb idea, let me know and we can totally change up the contest to something different. We can modify it to make it better, or we could scrap the idea and go with a totally new contest idea - it's up to you guys! This is just my tentative suggestion, but this is the one that'll go into effect on February 29th (OMG did you guys know we get a leap day this year!?? More time to hunt!! More shinies!! :laugh: ) unless someone comes up with something better, haha! ------------------------------------------------------------- 11111 Swarm encounters (Pearl) 1904 Anorith SRs (Pearl) 4740 Chespin hatched (X) Quote:

(Sword/Shield spoilers in the following spoiler tag; don't open it if you haven't played the new games yet! The other spoiler further down in this post is the usual G-Money length one, haha. That one's safe to read!) Spoiler:
But Eevee? Like, guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG foxes are orange and long and have mean eyebrows. Eevee is a cute little elf-creature that's, like, a fantasy magic-forest derivative of an angelic cat, with certain doglike properties (arguably). Eevee is closer to a ground-based, mammalian Swablu than anything else. I can't believe such heresy is being spewed!! Eevee is clearly, like...um, well, I don't really know what it is, but I know it's not a fox!! :tongue-poke: :laugh: Spoiler:
|
Love the contest idea! Not sure how many Shinies I'll acquire since I'm focusing on full-odds hunts (bouncing between Meowstic-M, Sneasel, and Venomoth), but hopefully I'll get some and come up with some cool nicknames!
Quote:
It makes sense that some people see Eevee as a fox, given that even its creator likened it to a cat or dog. While more closely related to canines, foxes exhibit many feline characteristics. (Many liken Eevee to a fennec fox—the origin of Fennekin—given its long ears, but I'm on your side with that being more of a magical/elf-like feature.) I do have trouble seeing how people get fox out of Leafeon, though. To me, it's clearly a colorpoint cat with no dog-like features at all. Spoiler:
Speaking of Leafeon, I've really been enjoying it lately. I transferred the Shiny Eevee clone I evolved into Leafeon to Sword (along with some of my other most-treasured Shinies that could be transferred) and I want to use him all the time! I think it's one of my absolute top favorite Pokémon now (maybe even above Wartortle, though Wartotle might still win out in terms of nostalgia). |

I love the contest idea! I've already got a few nicknames in mind so I'll wait until the end of the month to hunt shinies and put those nicknames on 'em! In the meantime, I wanted to do another holiday themed hunt for February but a short one, since I did a long valentines' day hunt. This weekend was carnival in a lot of different cultures, especially Caribbean, Latino and European countries, so I did a hunt around music and dancing. I already had Nymphea the ludicolo, so I hunted Memento Mori the firedancing alolan marowak, Nectarine the costume-changing Oricorio, and Bolero the maracas-shaking Maractus! I really need to get a life ahah

Hi, I've been stalking this thread for a while and finally decided to join. For a past year and half, I'm trying to complete Shiny Badge Quest on Ultra Moon that I call Shiny Island. For anyone who doesn't know what Shiny Badge Quest is, you basically have to find a shiny Pokémon before each Gym, or in my case before each Trial. I also added some more special hunts for each Grand Trial.
I finished the main story in November and haven't touched the game for a few weeks now, but I was shiny hunting Type:Null, Poipole and Stakataka. Well I didn't even got to Poipole and Stakataka yet and I'm about 850 SRs on Type:Null. I really like the contest idea, but won't probably participate, because I'll focus on finishing up mentioned hunts and beating Battle Tree with my shinies. But the idea of themed hunts that the Alolan naturalist is doing sounds like a lot of fun. |
:pink_boogie: May the contest begin!! :boogie:
For the voting in April, everyone will get one vote, and the hunter who's amassed the most votes for their shinies wins the grand prize! I was going to have everyone get three votes, but then I figured that that would reward quantity over quality, since someone could get votes for three different shinies then, even if two of them weren't the coolest thing ever, haha. This raises the stakes to their highest - each shiny counts! Give 'em the very coolest names possible!! Good luck, shiny hunters! :pink_nod: ----------------------------------------------- 12421 Swarm encounters (Pearl) 2305 Anorith SRs (Pearl) 5085 Chespin hatched (X) A bunch of Pinwheel Forest shaking grass encounters (Black) Happy leap day, everyone!!! Enjoy your extra day of hunting!! And life!! :laugh: Spoiler:

So was working on getting all Kanto pokemon in Let's Go Eevee to transfer over to pokemon home to work on Magearna, and I ended up running into a Full Odds Shiny Zubat + Shiny Charm in Rock Tunnel which took me by surprise.
Haven't gotten any other Shiny Pokemon since I think Ho-oH or those from Ultra Worm Holes when I was actively Shiny Hunting last year. I did get a SHiny Chansey in Go, but decided not to count those anymore. My new goal is to get Shiny Celebii now from Crystal. Have it not on V Console, but haven't done anything yet. Will probably start when I get done with Kanto Pokemon in Let's Go. |
First March 2020 Shiny!
I've mostly been hunting Sneasel in Gen. 2 and 4, but I decided to hop on Ultra Sun this morning to spend some time with my Shiny Mothim while hunting and found this instead: https://i.imgur.com/NI3ZMWn.jpg I named her Rheau after Manon Rhéaume, but I'm pronouncing it ree-oo instead of ray-aw. (I thought about shortening it to Rhea—which can be pronounced ree-uh, ray-uh, or simply ree/ray—but I like how the u looks at the end.) Purely coincidentally, this sounds similar to the Japanese word for dragon, ryu, which Glalie has the type advantage over. I'm not so much a fan anymore, but Glalie was actually one of my main Pokémon in Gale of Darkness. (I usually say that it was Froslass that got me into Ice-types, but maybe it was Glalie?) |
Currently hunting shiny Ferroseed in Sword Version myself! Been taking a break from hatching eggs as my last few hunts were annoyingly long but hopefully this one goes much better.
On a side note I’ve been getting a lot of shinies from raids. I don’t count them really as the majority are from just random raids I join online, likely being exploited, but it’s still fun to see a dynamax shiny and add it to my collection! |

Hi Everyone! Back at it again with a holiday Hunt. Happy St Patrick's Day! After my carnival hunt I decided to start hunting the infamously polarizing green shinies (all in nest balls!) and it turns out I was super lucky and got them all in like two weeks (and most of that time was spent hunting skarmory. That was hard!). In fact, I had my first ever double shinies! I was hunting with mine and a borrowed DS, doing two simultaneous SOS hunts and both shinies appeared at the same time!! Unfortunately, my great february luck turned into horrible march luck ahah, and it also means that none of these pokemon can be entries for the nickname contest. Oh well, anyways here's Pesto the little dragon, Brasilia the sea cucumber, Calypso the flower, Stym the metal birb (named for stymphalian birds of greek mythology), Sirocco the sea birb, Wasabi the drunk panda, and Jade the butterfly-ish!

I actually have grown to love the ugly green shinies ahaha |
Quote:
As for skarmory, I honestly don't know but it took like 3-4 evenings of SOS chaining. I thought it was an impossibly hard hunt until this month I SOS hunted dragalgae and it took me almost 2 weeks! |
haven't visited this thread in at least 100 years (i'm getting notifs for my old posts from 2018, they're so cringe lol) but here's some shinies I got this month in my Sacred Gold playthrough. none of these topped 50 soft resets!
https://i.imgur.com/AoKWVKk.png https://i.imgur.com/fWlbJLC.png https://i.imgur.com/DRIFa1b.png https://i.imgur.com/eQbzMP7.png here's Lily! I was beyond happy when I got her, she is such a treasure. she's the first shiny I've ever gotten in a gen 4 game and meanwhile I've been trying to get shiny Piplup for 3 years xD https://i.imgur.com/VhIL46W.png https://i.imgur.com/yBJmJqd.png and here's my latest shiny, I don't know what to name him yet. he's weird because I was trying to get a female eevee with an increased special attack in order to evolve into an Espeon.... and to use as an eevee-making machine for my pokedex quest. came looking for copper but found gold! I dunno wether to evolve him into an Espeon or Umbreon, since those are some of my favorite shinies. and I'll need to figure out another way to get a female eevee. edit: Celadon Gamecorner is the only other way, I hope this hack has mantained that. looks like I'll have to spend 6 hours trying to get enough coins from a game based on luck, again :/ |
