What shiny do you want more than anything else?
 
Yes, it's the question everyone asks, what shiny do you want to get and why. I'm asking this just to see what anyone is hoping for. I know there are already posts like this, but I'm pretty sure there is none like this. You're probably wondering what mine is, right? It's houndour. A shiny, blue houndour. I just want a shiny mega houndoom, and also I like dogs, they're wonderful and houndour is a dog with bones comming out of it. I am currently trying to mesuda method it, but no luck. I just really hope I can get one. Anyway, I can't wait to see what pokemon you want!

Whallan November 24th, 2013 5:35 PM

A shiny Greninja, those things look sweet.

Guy November 24th, 2013 5:43 PM

I've always wanted a shiny Venomoth, Lapras, Glalie, Togekiss, Reuniclus, and I'd love to have a shiny Aegislash. Each of their shiny colorings are just so vibrant and they looks completely natural whereas that's not always the case. I've never attempted to get any of them despite how much I'd love to have any one of these shinies. However, I am currently breeding Togepi in Y using the Masuda Method to finally knock getting a Shiny Togekiss off my shiny wishlist and adding it to my post-game competitive battling team. Maybe if I work up the time and determination I might try for the others in the future as well.

Anyhoo! Since this is a rather broad discussion and not just something that applies only to X and Y, I'm gonna move this on over to Pokémon Gaming Central.

Kikaito plush November 25th, 2013 3:37 AM

I would love to have a shiny Flygon because the colors of it really are beautiful.

Hyzenthlay November 25th, 2013 5:20 AM

I would love a shiny team to be honest, but most of all, I'd like a shiny Furret!

Firox November 25th, 2013 5:31 AM

I would love to have in shiny: Furret, Zigzagoon, Linoone, Buizel, Floatzel.... and of course Patrat and Watchog.

I didn't mention MIenfoo or Mienshao since I already caught one.... I wouldn't mind catching another one in X or Y.

LoudSilence November 25th, 2013 6:35 AM

Shiny Greninja looks absolutely awesome, really fits the ninja motif it's going for.

Usually I'm not a fan of shiny colours to be honest, I'd never go out of my way to get one unless it looked really sick. I guess I like Shiny Charizard too, but other than that I'll leave getting shinies to chance!

Beyond Infinity November 25th, 2013 6:39 AM

If I could only have ONE shiny in the world, it would be a Shuckle. I have one on Pearl actually, need to get it onto X.

If we're talking ones we don't have, I'm unsure. If I can't think of one that looks cool then a rare one...

Altair November 25th, 2013 3:42 PM

Never really had the urge to get any shiny Pokemon, I don't really know how much look like anyway. I do have a couple though, like Wooper and Oddish on Diamond and Sapphire.

Actually, one shiny that does look pretty sweet that I wouldn't mind going out of my way for is Ponyta, those blue flames!

Natnew November 25th, 2013 4:37 PM

any one of the porygon line or unown

Feunard November 25th, 2013 4:43 PM

I've been trying to get a shiny ninetales for a while now. I actually do have two shiny vulpix in platinum from chaining but they're both boys and I want a girl. In Y I could use the masuda method but I recently got into IVs so I want a (near) perfect shiny ninetales with drought. I feel like I'm asking for too much.

Probably wouldn't be hard to RNG a perfect shiny female vulpix

Anyways if I were to get any shiny it would probably be a magikarp, exeggutor (I got a perfect shiny exeggutor from a trade I was so stoked, but its name is in japanese =_=) or a honchkrow

Sydian November 25th, 2013 4:57 PM

Shiny Latios is one of my favorites. I really need to get off my lazy butt and RNG the one in Black 2 like I said I would. I've been so lazy with RNGing the past year. Ugh. And I also want a shiny Braixen. Other than that, there aren't any shinies I'm really after. I can RNG in gen V, so if the urge comes about, I can get it easily without anguish. :3

Feunard November 25th, 2013 4:58 PM

I don't really know how to RNG. I barely know what it is.

BossBattle November 25th, 2013 6:08 PM

Keep going machu, you'll get your shiny Houndour!

As for me, I've already MM a shiny (actually 2) of my favorite poke, Rhyperior, in SoulSilver waiting for me when PokeBank is out. I've also always wanted a shiny Metagross as well after seeing it debut in the anime some time ago, and so I managed to MM a shiny Beldum in X and Y!

I'm currently working on getting a shiny Hawlucha with MM. I wasn't a fan of its normal color palette, but I've really taken a liking to its shiny one. The contrast of blue, black, and red remind me of gum/candy for some reason lol.

For those that really want their shiny pokes, I'd say the time is now to go for it. X and Y has pretty much reduced the odds even further than last gen, though the exact number is still rumored, from personal experience and reading of many others experiences I believe it to be true. Also with X and Y introducing new methods, along with the old ones, there's plenty of ways to hunt for a shiny poke. Here are the methods that I can recall: Friend Safari, Horde Encounters, Random Encounters, PokeRadar, Masuda Method, and Chain Fishing. Best of luck to all who join the hunt!

UltraWing November 25th, 2013 6:35 PM

shiny magikarp..nuff said

Shadeh November 25th, 2013 6:58 PM

I've always wanted a shiny dragonite, the only shinies I have are Empoleon and Typhlosion, sigh...and those were from eggs, I have no hope in getting a hatched shiny Dratini, lel Oh well, I might as well keep trying,
And At least I have 2 so I guess I shouldn't mope

Juno November 26th, 2013 2:03 AM

Same as LoudSilence, I usually don't really care for shinies - they just look kind of odd to me (magenta Kyogre just looks wrong). That said, I would want a shiny Charizard so much. Rapidash also looks pretty cool. I just wouldn't go out of my way to get a shiny, personally.

S3venAces November 26th, 2013 2:06 AM

Gardevoir. Shiny mega Gardevoir looks incredibly cool. Unfortunately I've had no luck with the pokeradar or Masuda method...

Edward Newgate November 26th, 2013 2:43 AM

http://i39.*.com/2w69zxf.jpg

so... cool...
O.O

DanteSolablood November 26th, 2013 3:20 AM

The shiny I am really desperate for is Alakazam!! Alakazam is in no small part my favourite pokémon ever... he's just always been there for me, a good, solid pokémon who has (almost) always been available early in each game.

As I've been playing for a while I have come across a few shinies naturally, I have shiny Swablu, Jumpluff, Hariyama, Seedot and maybe a few more I can't remember. Don't think I've tried any of the methods. :/

Frokage November 26th, 2013 4:07 AM

I would die for a shiny vulpix => shiny ninetales. Q.Q

Harmonious Fusion December 7th, 2013 11:38 PM

I really want a shiny female Klefki so I can name her Alicia Keys. Would also like a shiny female Sylveon to name after a gijinka character of mine.

I already have my absolute favorite shinies, though: Giratina and Icy Snow Vivillon.

Broncos December 7th, 2013 11:53 PM

Shiny Mawile!


Dudes.

I have been literally hunting for this thing for 4 days on X. SR with a Magnet Pull Nosepass up front and nothing! On Y I tried Masuda Method and hatched about five boxes worth until I threw in the towel.

Something about not obtaining (I thought for sure it would've only taken me a day or 3) it is getting to me... secretly motivating me to continue on this incredibly difficult quest. I'm not a hunter, I often fall asleep with the game running because I really don't have the energy to reset after reset after reset. My wife thinks I'm a dork, but asked if she could give it a shot and went for 20 straight SRs lol (a couple hours ago). She loves me and my inner-child... :D But, yeah! I'ma keep at it for another 30 minutes or so and call it a night. If I don't find it by tomorrow I have no choice but to call it quits. I still haven't finished either of the games and I bought X to complete the story -- no Wonder Trading or hunting I told myself, but look at me now.

Hiatus December 8th, 2013 12:36 AM

I've always wanted to have shiny Rayquaza. It's got black and yellow color scheme, which looks pretty cool. I tried to get a hold of it by soft resetting in Ruby, but had to give up as I lost my patience. If I didn't, though, then would've been able to encounter it eventually. d: I also wanted to have shiny Umbreon, but needed to chain Eevee first, which I never got around to. Will get it done someday, though!

JeffWall December 8th, 2013 1:10 PM

I'm looking for a Shiny Lugia because Lugia is my absolute favorite pokemon, also a Shiny Reshiram(its probably never going to happen)

I'm also looking for any shiny that is purple color cause purple is my favorite color

sh1nyzorua December 8th, 2013 2:06 PM

Zorua, Zorua, Zorua, Virizion, Zorua. . . Did I mention Zorua? Is my username a giveaway? LOL. . . But yep, I LOVE shiny Zorua. I think the brown and turquoise complement each other really well. It's a colour combination I've always thought was pretty, so seeing it be used for the shiny version of my favourite Pokemon is awesome.
But also Virizion. It's pink! Pink! I tried soft resetting for it in Black, but I felt like the odds were kind of stacked against me this time, so when I get the sequel game, I'm going to try even harder to get my precious shiny Pokemon!

Dreg December 8th, 2013 2:51 PM

I would love to get my hands on a shiny Luxray. It seems to me, that it looks more badass than it's normal counterpart.

Captain Gizmo December 8th, 2013 2:54 PM

Right now, I want a shiny Charizard because it looks sooo badass in black!

Infernape December 8th, 2013 4:08 PM

Well there's Mega Charizard X shot

I wouldn't mind shiny Absol, or a shiny Ninetails

Loner_grunger December 8th, 2013 4:18 PM

I really really really want a Shiny eevee, and that it can be used for battling and nit just for exhibition. I also want a shiny Absol, its so cool

Andrew December 8th, 2013 7:41 PM

Mine used to be a shiny Gardevoir, but I ended up getting one of those with the Masuda Method :D

But my new favorite pokemon is Umbreon, so I would love nothing more than to finally get a shiny Umbreon. I'm about 500 eggs in at this point :P I'll get it eventually though.

Morning Sun Espeon December 8th, 2013 9:41 PM

Shiny Eevee, so I can get a shiny Espeon. I know that's pretty lame, but still .-.

Quinn December 8th, 2013 9:53 PM

Greninja, or Emboar other than that i don't care to much for shinys.

hughes December 9th, 2013 5:40 AM

Houndouuuuuur! When I was breeding for a perfect Houndour, I was really hoping a shiny one would pop up somewhere, but I had no such luck.

I also really want a shiny Zubat, Noibat, Excadrill, Shinx, and Feebas. But on the bright side, I do have a highly wanted shiny in a shiny Mawile. :P

Fomalhaut December 9th, 2013 6:25 AM

My dream shinies are Mawile, Gardevoir and Greninja and Froslass solely out of color preference. The fact that they are among my favorites certainly doesn't hurt. I actually have 5 boxes of matsuda method timid Froakie eggs (both rents have HA, not sure how many that'll carry onto), but I haven't gotten around to hatching them yet, because I'm kinda worried all that time would have been wasted ^^' And then, if it doesn't have Protean, I'd seriously have to reconsider my strategy were I to incorporate it into my team... But, yeah.

Mega Missingno December 9th, 2013 7:44 AM

Shiny Umbreon. Now that I got one, I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllly want a shiny Mew. Because flippin' MEW.

Arrow December 9th, 2013 9:08 AM

I'm aiming to get a shiny Eevee. It's my favorite Pokemon and the silver just complements it so much. Also I do really like shiny Mega Gardevoir. If I ever get my Eevee I'm definately going to try doing the MM for a shiny Ralts.

BobTheImam December 9th, 2013 9:15 AM

Shiny Vaporeon (so I guess I want a shiny eevee, lol)

antemortem December 9th, 2013 7:40 PM

I want a Shiny Latias very badly. It's so gorgeous - a shimmering golden orange color. I think it's just about the prettiest shiny out there, besides Roserade and, ah, Milotic.

TwilightBlade December 9th, 2013 7:44 PM

I should hoard a bunch of shiny Latias, oh yes I should. <3

I always wanted my very own shiny Cresselia and Latias. Why haven't I gotten them yet?! -searches for White 2-

Sheep December 9th, 2013 7:45 PM

Shiny Altaria. It's.. so pretty and gold, ugh. I would do anything to have a nice shiny female Altaria. :(

http://www.pokezam.com/Sprites/DP/Battle/Male/Frame1/Shiny/334.png

So gorgeous!

Oh, and shiny Whimsicott.. one day.

curiousnathan December 9th, 2013 8:01 PM

I want a shiny Dratini, Altaria and Gigalith because they're colours are simply stunning.

Jessie December 10th, 2013 1:27 PM

I'd love a shiny Dragonite and a Sylveon.

Also a Noivern, but I'm currently working on that one...

The Ruby Of The Sea December 10th, 2013 1:38 PM

Shiny Milotic and Starmie. Is it me or are shiny Gyarados more frequent in the wild? or am I that lucky?

Fitzsy December 10th, 2013 3:25 PM

I'd like a Shiny Seviper, so as to more efficiently out-glam my assailants!

Bidoof FTW December 10th, 2013 3:43 PM

Shiny Rayquaza is pretty legit, but Greninja and Shuckle are my babes and i will breed until THEY ARE MINE!!! >:D

Brendino December 12th, 2013 1:57 AM

While I loved its shiny form before the addition of its secondary Fairy typing, it makes me want to have a Shiny Azumarill now more than ever. Something about it being yellow rather than blue when shiny always appealed to me, probably because of how obviously different the two are.

In fact, I'd probably be happy with any shiny Pokemon that was quite different from the original- Charizard and Ninetales came to mind right away as well.

Atomic Pirate December 12th, 2013 4:29 PM

I'd say Gliscor. It's not that huge a change, but the yellow+blue color scheme looks cool on Gliscor.

oshawottlover13 December 12th, 2013 5:32 PM

either a shiny yanma or shiny umbreon. i love anything electric blue. ANYTHING

Colress Machine December 13th, 2013 5:50 AM

I would love to have a shiny Gigalith. It looks like he has diamonds protruding from him which is awesome.

GreyVirgo December 13th, 2013 7:26 AM

A shiny Greninja and a shiny Absol.
Both with really powerful moves.
It would be great for a beautiful and powerful team!
And I won't forget to let it eat berries! :D

Fomalhaut December 13th, 2013 1:58 PM

Hatched a shiny Mawile after 6 eggs ^^

WatermelonTango December 13th, 2013 2:33 PM

I've always been a big fan of shiny medicham. The cool blue with the gold compliments the default coloration quite a lot.

Shiny Gyrados is always cool, and shiny poliwrath is a nice frog like green (though politoad kinda looks strange with his pink and blue shiny coloration). Flygon and Accelgor are other notable shiny pokemon to me.

Yumetaro December 24th, 2013 8:59 AM

Shiny Ninetales, or a Shiny Lopunny. I really like both shinies.

Elysieum December 24th, 2013 9:39 AM

A shiny Staryu. I've had a soft spot for the little star for years. Am going to work at getting a shiny one in Pokemon Y.

Charizard17 December 24th, 2013 9:57 AM

Shiny Beldum. I love Metagross's shiny form, but I'd like to raise the shiny myself.

krisags87 December 24th, 2013 9:59 AM

I want ANY shiny pokemon. I have never even SEEN one in any of the games I've owned! :(

Jet Pilot December 24th, 2013 10:27 AM

I currently own a shiny Staraptor and hiny Flygon, I would really like a shiny Shuckle though.

PastelVulpix December 24th, 2013 11:04 AM

Shiny Ninetales !! Silvery grey / blue suits ninetales SO much in my opinion, it just looks beautiful. Shiny Eevee is really cool too though - think of the evolution possibilities :P

Currently soft reseting for a shiny articuno in SS at the moment. One day xD

I made the mistake of evolving a Shiny Eevee into Jolteon, don't unless you want an ugly Jolteon. It's some nasty green color, looks like phlegm sort of.
