I've found 2 shinies this week, one in the wild and one after I chain fish. I was not trying to chain fish though, I was looking for a Starmie and in my second reel in I got a shiny Quiwlfish.

Played for 45 hours and didn't find even one shiny, so I wouldn't say its too easy
|
I never chained, I like getting the challenge to find them in the wild. So, much more fun!
|
I haven't found a single shiny Pokemon in the game yet in 13 hours of game play. No, I don't think finding a shiny is particularly easy. Some people just get lucky is all.
|
I have only 2 spread across the past 3 days. Clauncher and relicanth, both from chain fishing. I looked before that and got nothing the normal way. I am mming honedge though.
|
I usually encounter ONE shiny in each game after about 200-600 hours.
This time it only took 80 hours. If I encounter one shiny every 100 hours, I would still call that "Rare". |
i found 3 shiny ivysaurs in the safari last night while trying to find a female ivysaur...still havent found the female.

Hi guys, I thought by myself, hm okay challenge accepted. I started chain fishing this morning, in about 30 mins (after like 17 chains or so) I got a shiny Horsea (female). Now after, to be exact, 35 chains I've got myself a shiny Horsea again (male) :D I was really happy this does work.
@Decimosoma, yes thanks for your tips :) It is true though many people have tried. Since my game crashed last week because of the save glitch in Lumiose T_T I will try the Friend Safari one too when I beat the Elite Four (again). So... back to chain myself a Clauncher then. ^_^ Everyone else, happy hunting! |
I ran into a horde of Wingulls the other day and one of them were shiny (the one shiny was on the sides) I couldn't tell which one, by looking at the bar or the choice which one is shiny, so I accidently knocked out the shiny one. This is the only shiny I ran into so far and Im not planning to use any methods to find one
:t354:TG |
I've found 2 shiny skiddo, in previous games I've only ever found a shiny Delibird, so thinking this game is easier... but then I was chaining >.> Going to chain fish later to get some more :D
|
Well, i tried to get an eevee by MM'ing. However i'm now at 7 full boxes and kinda tired. So i went to a friend safari to catch some ditto's, and the first encounter was a blue ditto.Guess my first official shiny is a ditto...Better than nothing i guess.

seems like 1/250 now.....

@Tatsujin Well that is really bad :( I can explain though if you like;
When ecountering a horde battle, the first pokemon (1 of 5) is on the very most left. So in the battle screen this is the pokemon on the bottom left. The second Pokemon is on the top left, third Pokemon is right in the middle, the fourth Pokemon is on the top right and the fifth Pokemon is on the bottom right of your battle screen (I tried to explain it as how it would look like in your battle screen where you can select run etc. but you have to choose an attack to see the spots in your battle screen though) So if for example the shiny Wingull you encountered was on the fifth spot when encountering a horde battle (first one of the right since all those Pokemon are lined-up in a row when encountering a horde battle), then that Wingull would be on the bottom-right spot in your battle screen. I hope I did make this something more clear to you ^_^ but you could practise in horde battles to find out yourself :) |
