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. -_-

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

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

Was looking for one (Gigalith) on GTS myself. No luck. :P

I did find another Shiny on GTS this morning, a Beartic! Bold Nature, though... :/

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.

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

UPDATE: Got a Shiny Umbreon :D
