Arg...the masuda method is so painful!

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)

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.


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!

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.

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
