I've just encountered a Shiny Audino :D it's my first shiney ever , plus , it looks insanely nice :)

Boarbeque May 21st, 2011 1:20 PM

Emboar's shiny is my favorite. Gotta love a blue beard of fire.

Druddigon's shiny is my least favorite. It just looks horrible in my honest opinion.

Just noticed Victini - I hope you know that you can't actually obtain a shiny Victini in the games and that the only way is through ARing, right?

インフェルノの津波 May 22nd, 2011 5:41 AM

I know that, c'mon.

It's just that I like how it looks!

boktor666 June 8th, 2011 6:42 AM

Sweet appearance
 
So today, I was looking around for a pokemon to add to my dex and team for online. Was looking around for 30 minutes or so, and then it happend.. Solosis popped out, the one i was looking for! BUT it was even better! it was a shiny! this made my day so much.

Caught it with luxury ball

But not only is that the only awesome shizzle, its got magic guard as ability! Although im doubting about its nature, Naive, it is like awesome sauce.

But i would like your thoughts on the nature?

Oh and what was your first shiny ever?

Firstly, congrats on finding it! Buuuttt... this doesn't need its own thread, so I merged this with shiny discussion. Plus, your first shiny ever would belong in Pokemon Gaming Central, but this already seems to be covered by the following thread [ here. ]

Flashmeteor June 8th, 2011 1:03 PM

I'm currenting hunting a shiny Munna to evolve into a Shiny Musharna..

OH HOW BAD I WANT ONE! O:<

Molts June 8th, 2011 1:20 PM

Few days ago I saw a shiny litwik, the first ever shiny I've ever seen in the decade of playing these games. And I killed it on accident... there was much sadness that day...

:'( That's so sad... I think you need a taco.

I happen to currently be breeding for a shiny Litwick... or, at least I was. I'm taking an extended break so that I may play through SS. Before my break though, I had no luck...

I own three shinies... two were from trades and one was because I got really lucky in Emerald... I hope I find some good shinies soon... (like Solosis :3)

Rooke June 8th, 2011 1:27 PM

Good luck with your Litwick breeding, Nakuzami. A few weeks ago I hatched the shiny Litwick I was breeding for, so I know how annoying it is. Stick with it, and I'm sure it'll happen quickly. ^^;

Hooh June 8th, 2011 8:18 PM

Welp, SR'ing Cobalion, and RE'ing for Tranquill and Mandibuzz on black, I plan to Masuda Archen after these hunts are done. That also really sucks, Molts. Shiny Chandelure is awesome, maybe you should (if you have enough time) go hunting for a shiny Litwick?

PiemasterUK June 8th, 2011 10:27 PM

When you encounter a shiny is it pretty obvious, or are they easily missed for the untrained eye? I don't *think* I've seen any yet, but I can't be sure...

Shinies for MOST pokemon are very obvious, some are a slightly less. ALL shinies play a sound effect, and show pretty sparkle shiny effect when the battle starts as well.

Nakuzami, thanks for the kindness, I wish you luck in your breeding, I own 2 shinies, both from trades. Though one of my shinies is was traded... rather oddly.

I was perusing the GTS, and I found a lvl 100 mantine shiny, and the person wanted a lvl 9 or lower espeon. I was freaking out, so I spent all day finding an eevee in my older games, trading it over, breeding it to get a freshly hatched eevee, then grinding the battle subway for like 3 hours. I don't have a very good team in my white game at the time (still don't actually) so getting enough BP to buy enough vitamins to max happiness without leveling up the eevee was hard. XD I successfully did it, finally getting a lvl 4 espeon, and trading for the lvl 100 mantine, maxed EV's possibly IV's, shiny over the GTS.

Thats why you should always check out the GTS once a while. XD


Hooh54, how does one go "shiny hunting"? I've been playing for close to 12 years, and that litwik was the first ever shiny I've seen in my life. The odds are against me for finding another. >.<

Cerious June 9th, 2011 11:18 AM

I've found two so far, a shellder and a tympole. Traded both, accidentally underestimated the value of the tympole-- live and learn...

Azumi June 9th, 2011 3:40 PM

I'm thinking of evolving my shiny Larvesta, because I just found out that Volcarona also has Flame Body, which helps with my breeding. I'm not a good judge of appearance, so do you think I should evolve it, or just leave it as a Larvesta?

Katja June 9th, 2011 3:43 PM

I've never found a shiny in game yet. T_T Out of all the Pokemon games since...There were shinies.

Nakuzami June 9th, 2011 4:01 PM

@Molts & Katja - Really (what about Red Gyarados?)? I've seen plenty of shinies, but luck is always against me. A few were in Silver, where, not only could I not save, there was no way to transfer them over. Another was my Mightyena, which I found as a level 13 Poochyena, and I saw a shiny Lickitung once, but it was in the Safari Zone, so you can guess what happened... :'(

I haven't seen any shinies yet in BW... hopefully I will soon ^.^

@Tachibana Azumi - Well, it is your decision, but perhaps you should evolve it? If you don't plan to really use it in competetive battles, the only good reason to evolve it would be to up its value a little... I guess.

Lee Know June 9th, 2011 8:10 PM

lol, so I was like out training my shiny Arceus named Llama- he flies, by the way -and I was training it in the speed stat around the Pinwheel Forest.

And what do you know, I happen upon an adorable shiny Purrloin with Limber. Prettiest little thing, I was so proud to have found one- I threw a damn Great Ball out of sheer excitement. xD

Hehe, he doesn't count that's a required story encounter. I've caught him and used him in all of my gold and HG play throughs. XD

Other than him, litwik was my first ever shiny honest to goodness. My friend years ago once found a shiny gastly on his silver, we didn't know what it was at the time. So we never paid any attention to it, little did I know back then how rare it was.

DarkAlucard June 9th, 2011 11:53 PM

I still haven't found any shiny pokemon in Black, though it's not really something that make me lose sleep.

CLU June 10th, 2011 1:27 PM

I have gotten one shiny in my Black version, a Stunfisk.
Didn't really hope for one, but I love him a lot. <3

Right now I'm working on shiny Vanillite with Masuda Method (since March, ouch).
Hope I get one soon! Hatched over 1,000 by now.

Masuda method? Since march? Ok, I know you want that shiny, but can someone tell me why they would spend that much time hatching (perhaps)thousands of eggs to get one shiny? Personally, I would go crazy.

As for shinys, I still have none in my White version. But then again, I haven't played in months...

Mew-Neko June 10th, 2011 6:58 PM

I haven't encountered a shiny, (Yet!) but I have hatched two.
Purrloin and Minccino. Purrloin took about 400+ eggs, while Minccino 658.
I was hoping for a girl Minccino, but it was a boy. Even when the gender ratio is 25% male, 75% female. -_-

chaos56 June 10th, 2011 9:59 PM

Shiny hunting is a pain in the butt so far. Haven't even seen one in White version. Want to find a shiny Durant though.

Autobot Silverwynde June 11th, 2011 7:37 PM

As of right now, I'm trying to Masuda Method myself a shiny Golett. I've hatched quite a few eggs but with no luck so far. Honestly, I don't really know why; I already have two via GTS. But I wouldn't mind hatching one of my own so I can give it a nickname.

I'd try to find a Random Encounter Golett in the Dragonspiral Tower, but I know better than to attempt it. I'll leave the Tower with more Goletts than I could ever handle. I can't say no to that cute little face. (Yeah, I'm pathetic, I know.)

On the older pokemon games, when you encounter a shiny loads of shiny tiny stars appear from it. which is a clear indication it's a shiny.

KingInfernape June 12th, 2011 5:41 AM

i have found a shiny axew and fom the other games i have in total 4 shiny

pokewalker June 12th, 2011 6:45 AM

I'm now hunting a shiny Taillow in Black, 305 eggs now. For now, in gen5, I have found the following shinies: TR Foonguss, TR Frillish, TR Audino. Although I'm hunting every day, my game just doesnt want to produce me a hunted shiny :'(

Latios Master June 13th, 2011 7:49 PM

I caught a shiny Audino on Route 12 today when I was leveling up my Anorith to get Armaldo for my Pokédex. The shiny Audino has a perfect IV in HP. It's my first shiny Pokémon in gen 5.

Mine is not as good though, but it's okay since it is soo adoreable!! :3

Yono June 14th, 2011 7:44 PM

Just acquired a Shiny Archen off of GTS!

A lucky find while browsing on there. Looks legit, as it was hatched from an egg. Can't be sure, though...

Jolly-natured as well.

hiff8 June 15th, 2011 11:36 AM

Got 2 shinys of Quick trade the other day, but im still searching for a shiny beldum * looks up all twinkly eyed*

Jake♫ June 15th, 2011 12:12 PM

Started a new White game, walked onto Route 2, and the first thing I see is a Shiny Patrat. Which is odd, because my shiny-luck in-game is horrendous by every definition. Point being, caught it...and now I have a shiny HM Slave XD

hiff8 June 15th, 2011 2:09 PM

I scored a shiny Gigalith off GTS woot its also has a gentle nature, Effing sweet

Vrai June 15th, 2011 5:14 PM

I spent a while running around looking for shiny Axews because they're amazing and I want a shiny Haxorus more than anything buuuuut I'm apparently never going to find one. :( Maybe I should like actually figure out how to increase my chances or something because running around isn't helping me find anything at all... ;-;

There's always Masuda Method, if you have the time for it. Finding in the wild would be harder due to the chances of other shiny 'mons showing up.

Just got a Lv. 70 Shiny Boldore from GTS. Mild nature... -__- No luck this time with Natures.


The Boldore was a hack. Should have checked the capture date earlier.

In it's place, however: A Shiny Venipede! Impish Nature.

hiff8 June 17th, 2011 7:35 AM

I got super lucky on GTSN the other day Got a shiny Braviry Adamant nature, Im not sure he knew what he had though i had up 2 shinys for it yet he choose a lvl 1 spirit tomb.
I never do Musuda method i never have the patience. But im doing really good on GTSN definitely my new favorite feature.

Reuniclus lvl 63 Mild nature shiny. Dang I am doing really good on GTS though im not sure ill keep this one, never was ever in to Reuniclus.

Is GTS Negotiations a good way to go in trying to get Shiny Pokemon? Just curious, as I haven't really tried it out.

The Undisputed Era June 18th, 2011 4:58 AM

I have A shiny Emboar, Gengar, Zoroak, Arceus, Garchomp, Reshiram.

Definitly in fact... I dont think ive ever gotten a shiny of the regular GTS. I just edit my opening statment to " I want Color Change" and people usually get the message.

post number 666...0.0

Just got a lvl 100 Shiny porygon Z on GTS for my Charizard. again not keeping this already got my good physic im on a freaking roll.

U.Flame June 18th, 2011 7:48 PM

Is anyone else happy that the term "shiny" is now officially used in-game?

RelentlessRamenRaider June 25th, 2011 5:06 PM

So, I was hatching for a good natured, fake tear cottonee and while on the last batch i planned to hunt for, i saw one with gold leaves, and green eyes, I was so surprised. However, it doesn't have the ability I wanted though. Anyone have any strategies for the infiltrator nature?

I don't think there is anything you can do to increase the chance of getting a specific ability on a bred pokemon...just the nature and the IVs can be controlled (to some extent).

But hey, at least you got the shiny...I've been breeding Druddigons for 5 solid days now and still no shiny...

Arg...the masuda method is so painful!

The Undisputed Era June 26th, 2011 4:28 AM

I know what you mean by the chances. However, the true aim for my question was to see what kind of strategies I can use with Infiltrator ability. I wanted prankster for the priority status moves, but i am willing to learn how to work with this ability.

Also, I wish you luck on your Druddigon. I was going for a shiny one at one point until i hatched one with the perfect stats, ability, and nature. Impish, with rough skin. He is my favorite pokemon out of all the generations.

Oh. Well, I'm not sure about strategies for Infiltrator...all it does it does is make the pokemon's moves unaffected by barriers, right? I guess use it to break through light screen and reflect then...

Thanks for the luck on my Druddigon. I need all the luck I can get! I won't give up until I've got the shiny.

Will report it here when I do get it (hopefully soon)

hey i have been wondering how you tell if a shiny is a hack as i see tons of them on the gts... how do you use the date to find out?

as for shinies on BW my first was an evee hatch and since then i have found several! does anyone know if BW have a better chance of shiny? as in all my other games i have never found more than one per game, (i have been playing since gen1) so far i have found, audino, solosis, boldore and riolu!

I believe the date on it was something like 2007 or so, when B/W wasn't released. So it was kinda obvious that the Boldore was a bit off.

You can only tell if you get a Shiny through trade, though. Luckily, I didn't lose much.

Ghost Lunis July 5th, 2011 7:05 PM

Don't forget if someone rng'd a shiny, the date will most likely be something wacky..I've gotten shinies of black and white pokemon with a 2009 date before yet they are perfectly legit.
by the way out of the 200+ legit shinies I have,51 of them are unova natives.
pm me if anyone wants to see my list.

dylkimaloc July 6th, 2011 12:14 PM

I caught a shiny Purrloin yesterday. I love it!

Shiny Haxorus is the best!

DowntownDumpling July 9th, 2011 10:59 AM

I don't have any shinies in Black yet. I do have shinies in previous games, but with Black I'm taking the stand of not importing Pokemon from previous games except level 1s for the sake of filling my Pokedex.

Maple Leaf July 12th, 2011 9:45 AM

I don't have any shinies.

If I encountered a shiny, I would want it to be an Audino.

dreyko July 15th, 2011 2:25 PM

i have encountered a shiny cubchoo and got shiny vullaby in a trade. i was surpassed when i found the shiny cubchoo because i really wasn't looking for a shiny but hey I'm not complaining =)

TheCondor July 15th, 2011 3:00 PM

I got a Larvesta in a trade once before I actually got the egg in-game. Then I bred it, hopefully to get one with the opposite gender. Surprisingly enough when I hatched it, it turned out to be a shiny. Funny thing though, the guy who traded it to me had been matsuda methoding a shiny Larvesta for quite some time now.

vagrantwanderer July 19th, 2011 8:26 PM

Just my shiny oshawott...Which is now a Samurott. I would love to get a shiny Eevee/Umbreon, Munchlax/Snorlax, or Trapinch/Vibrava/Flygon. Right now I'm SRing for Bulbasaur and the lvl. 75 Volcarona- which might be a good trade pokemon for one of the other shinys I want. Has anyone else SRed for Volcarona??

Geo_mani July 21st, 2011 12:11 PM

I encountered a shiny gurrdur just when i wasn't excepting it!It was in twist mountain!

Shiny Celebi July 22nd, 2011 7:09 PM

I found my first shiny in Black a while ago, just a Lillipup. I caught it, and now want to go after a shiny Kyurem, but i sidelined it. Not sure if I should go back to Cobalion or try to SR Kyurem, decisions decisions.

Moimalade July 31st, 2011 2:06 PM

I got a Shiny Litwick which is now a Chandelure from using the Masuda method which I love and I plan to get a cofagrigus now :D

Hey I recently caught a shiny Litwick! That was my second shiny encounter in my life so I was very happy. And I happen to really like Chandelure's shiny version so I'm planning on training it. I also really love Reuniclus' shiny, one of my favs.

boyblunder August 10th, 2011 9:11 PM

I've got quite a few, but none are caught by me.
My favorites are Deoxy and Uxie and Treecko.

Musharna August 10th, 2011 11:13 PM

I haven't seen any so far and I'm already on route 10. But maybe someday, though I'm not sure if I'd recognize one even if I did see *laugh*

But I think the shiny Purrloin looks pretty good! As well as Litwick.

LéDerp September 19th, 2011 3:56 AM

Recently caught my first shiny Pokemon in the Black&White series (shiny Boldore), after months of game-play.

I've recorder it and uploaded it to youtube, but unfortunately i'm not allowed to post links to other 'sites' until i reached 15 posts.

If you'd like to see the video, search on youtube Pokemon White Shiny Boldore , and select the video of the user snowkids12345 (thats my account), or PM me and i'll send you the link!

If you'd like to see the video, search on youtube Pokemon White Shiny Boldore , and select the video of the user snowkids12345 (thats my account), or PM me and i'll send you the link!

Just letting you know that this thread hasn't been posted in for over a month and about a week but since it was once a pretty active thread in the past, and considering that the death was only recent, I'm going to keep it open (posting here just so we don't receive reports).

For next time, have a look at when the thread was last posted in, if it's been over a month then you're free to remake it and if not, then yeah it's fine.

But I think the shiny Purrloin looks pretty good! As well as Litwick.

Trust me, if you're paying attention to the game, you will notice. :P It wouldn't be surprising if you got through the entire game without seeing any shinies, that's what happened with me.

My boyfriend went out and caught a shiny Axew and trained it up to be a shiny Haxorus. So cool looking @[email protected]

A while back, I was leveling up my Zweilous by battling Audinos, and I ran into a shiny one. My boyfriend was sitting in front of me, and I accidentally kicked him when I found it. xD

Wow nice. :P I always thought I'd run into a shiny Audino eventually, since they seem to love appearing the most in the shaking grass for me. That still has yet to happen for me though. Congrats on the find!

Here's the vid btw, for whoever like to see it,

Lost a shiny Lillipup the other day. :/ Started a new game, and right after your mom gives you the running shoes, I encountered it. Even with 2 pokeballs, I was unable to catch it; I was too afraid to weaken it even further.

That one stung for awhile. :disappoin

Druddigon September 20th, 2011 3:21 PM

Thank god shiny pokemon sparkle during battle, or else you wouldn't fricken know if you got a shiny Tynamo!

BTW, encounter ratio for him, non shiny is 1:12.5.. Easily the hardest to get shiny, or one of the hardest atleast..

Mister Coffee September 20th, 2011 4:00 PM

I have found two shiny pokemon since I started playing White. I have a shiny Blitzle, and have also found a shiny Durant. I don't really care about either of them, but having them isn't so bad. I plan on just trading them for other pokemon I may want.

sherreamethyst September 20th, 2011 4:37 PM

http://www.serebii.net/Shiny/BW/567.pngArcheops will always be the best shiny sprite in B/W. His normal sprite looks like it was bleached a little and lost its color.

And sadly no; i have not seen ONE shiny yet. I feel like as the generations go on, it gets harder and harder to find em...

LéDerp September 22nd, 2011 11:37 AM

Got a shiny Kyurem last night, traded with someone on Yotuube,

Not quite sure whatever it's hacked or not, :(

Saerith September 22nd, 2011 11:43 AM

No shinies yet, hoping for a shiny litwick (I'm breeding)

There's an Official "Check My Pokémon" thread where you can check to see if your Pokémon are hacked or not. Just post and someone will get to ya!

Reminds me of the time I was EV training a Larvesta in SpA in Celestial Tower and I ran into a shiny Litwick. Glorious moment of my life! (;

Saerith September 22nd, 2011 12:56 PM

Yeah I heard It's amazing my next goal is a furret or cinccino.

legendarypokemon September 22nd, 2011 5:22 PM

my current goal for shiny is a male pidove. i love unfezants sh. colors

PradaSon September 22nd, 2011 7:27 PM

I was wondering, is it possible to get a shiny Kyurem legitly?

Yup. Soft Reset. Or RNG. But unlike Reshiram, or Zekrom, Kyurem is completely possible.

Did I ever post here about the random Ponyta I hatched? It was with 1/8192 chances and not even my intention... egg #7 while looking for a good timid morning sun daddy.

PradaSon September 22nd, 2011 7:48 PM

Wow o.o I haven't encountered any shinies on my own since Pokemon Pearl and that was years ago. Lucky lol.

Musharna September 24th, 2011 11:58 AM

I still haven't encountered any shinies! I played Black for almost 100 hours and now I'm about halfway in HG and nooo shinies. Yeah, probably wont ever see one with my luck, but at least I have my dear shiny eevee on Black that I got from a trade. There it is, waiting for a 6th gen game (or the third 5th gen) to come so that I can transfer it there as a part of my team.

I'll probably try Masuda breeding on Black after I finish HG though.

Juzey September 25th, 2011 1:42 AM

Currently trying to Masuda breed a shiny Riolu, as Lucario is the only Japanese Pokemon I have. Hatched over 100 eggs, no luck, kind of got bored.

cazzler September 27th, 2011 4:55 PM

After using the masuda method on many Pokemon and encountering a huge amount of Pokemon in the wild when EV Training, I have not seen one shiny at all. I began losing interest in Pokemon, I decided to come back and check my trade thread. Someone wanted a female and male Nidoran, I started breeding them with my Ditto and Nidoking. (They are both mine, so this isn't the masuda method) Anyways after hatching three female Nidorans, the third one looked purple, I said to myself yeah right... the male hatched fourth, I completed the trade and went to release the other Nidorans, but as soon as I looked at the status I saw the * symbol and I was like WTF? lol...

jordsters September 27th, 2011 11:01 PM

I haven't really encountered any Shinies in Black, except the ones I've PokéTransfered. I am trying to get a Shiny Riolu egg, though.

latias92 September 28th, 2011 1:33 AM

Never encountered any shinies in my White game, to be fair I've been playing Pokemon games since the original Gold/Silver and I've never seen a shiny in any game! (Apart from the obvious Red Gyarados...)

Guess I'm just not that lucky when it comes to finding shiny pokemon :P

リザードン☆ September 28th, 2011 8:22 PM

After hours of levelling up and EV training, I've only encountered one shiny Pokémon and that was a shiny Tympole outside of Pinwheel Forest.. unfortunately I only had levels 50+ and three Pokéballs in my bag.
My favourite fifth generation shiny is by far Reuniclus; the blue gel-like blob surrounding it just appeals to me.

celebi72 October 2nd, 2011 9:49 PM

I hatched the shiny Litwick! 3rd try, no masuda method, just pure skill. :D Now its level 54, and a rockin ORANGE EV'D chandelure!

ObeyMudkips October 7th, 2011 3:22 PM

I found a Shiny Charmander in April. It took me 156 eggs with the Masuda Mthod.

Raven-NAR-32450 October 8th, 2011 11:46 PM

found a completely random shiny lilipup on route 3, evolved it to a stoutland, then traded it to my brother.
