~Shiny Hunters~
I'm sure you've all hunted for shinies, from one, to having an entire box full of them! This is almost like a place to post what shinies you've found recently and trade them to others! You can also post your friend codes here.
At times, I will be detailing the different methods used for shiny hunting, with a description of what to do and what not to do. Anyways, thanks for reading! |
I've never found any shinies on X and Y. Not one. I'll look for some methods later.

I have found plenty of them.
I always try to Hatch them |
I'm glad you all work hard to find your shinies! Someone I know gets them from trades. Only.

I found a shiny Octillery in the safari. I posted a picture on Facebook and that's how me and my boyfriend started talking.
|
Recently started hunting for shiny Swirlix! So excited to find one. ^~^
Would chaining it be best, or would you recommend Friend Safari? |
I caught 2 Relicants in the weekend (fishing chain FTW).
|
One shiny Gible hatched. By freak accident while I was IV breeding. Shame it's stats are terrible cause I put the wrong poke in the day care. D:
Oh and a Perfect IV shiny Giratina. (Tooootaly legit.) |
Got a shiny Skrelp by chain fishing, then a shiny gloom from a friend safari though I traded it for a shiny Arcanine, which was a great deal :P

so far finding fishing to be the easiest method for getting shinys got shiny dragalge after chain of 54 then seaking after 34ish then i had a 155ish chain with nothing then shiny gyarados after like 30 when I was hunting (still hunting) for my shiny espurr i came across a shiny oddish after like 800ish random encounters so time wise if you want your first shiny i would try out chain fishing
edit: forgot about my stupid shiny basculin i found after a chain of like 130ish and it killed itself with some move i had never seen before xD |
I do say that Friend safari seems to be the best place to hunt shinies.
Found 2 yesterday, shiny Meditite and a shiny Grumpig. I have found a total of 6 shinies over the lapse of 2 weeks solely from different Friend Safaris. The way I do it is: -Choose target -Get Synchronizer with desired nature -Use Increase Encounter O-power -Get on my bike and hunt Really good way to hunt while doing other stuff since it does not require a lot of attention, except for checking if it is a shiny or not (I have been VERY close to run away from some :>) |

I have tried my hand at chain fishing, hooked myself an amazing looking red Clawitzer. ^~^
Currently, I'm hunting for shiny Swirlix, and Amaura. Little update: While hunting for a shiny Swirlix, I got a shiny Clefairy. |

Giving away a shiny Clefairy in my other thread!
|
The other day, I had found a Shiny Shelmet off of the Route 2O(if I am not mistaken, the one before Snowbelle City).

I was lucky that my cousin didn't keep my Accelgor when I traded it with him. I would have been so sad. Just think. To get a shiny and lose it 5 minutes later. :'(
I also found a Shiny Houndour in my Y. XD, I didn't mean find. I bred it with my Japenese Ditto |
Quote:
|
You think so? I can't really tell the difference.
|
Yeah..maybe Y's success was not as good as X's, so they decided to secretly up the shiny rate? Though, I'm sure hackers would've realized this as they're gotten into the coding.
|
I guess your right. After all(in my opinion), X has the better Mega's than Y does. But that also sounds a bit weird to me; having a game where the shiny rate is better than the other?
|
I've Bred three competitive shinies but all only have 4 IVs :\ The best I got are my Shiny Hydreigon(31 in Atk, Def, SpA, Spd and a Naive Nature) and a Shiny Lucario( 31 in Hp, Atk, SpD and Spd w/ Jolly nature.)
|
Awesome! Today, while I was breeding Lileep, I got a shiny one out of a "batch" of eggs I had. I think my goal is to have all shiny fossil pokemon. For now
|
I keep going to try and hunt a shiny Noibat in Friend Safari..but all I get is shiny Fraxure.

OMG, I said wouldn't. I hate autocorrect on my iPad. |

Wow! Just got a Shiny Swirlix while on here! So happy! =D |

I've had a great amount of luck with the Friend Safari and encountering shiny Pokemon. My current list stands at 2 Shiny Chansey, 2 Shiny Togepi, a Shiny Helioptle and recently a shiny Cacturne.
I've also managed to breed myself a 5IV shiny Sneasal...Pink Weavile is great but a bit odd when it's a Male, hah! |
i actually just started shiny hunting for the first time yesturday. i was using that fishing method and i found a shiny poliwhirl while i was looking at this thread! (ironic)
i have only had 2 other shinies in this gen. a drapion from a friend safari, and a horsea that was traded to me (trying to evolve it to a shiny kingdra now) |
I've acquired tons of shinies through trading and eventually I got bored of collecting them.
|
I've only encountered 2 Shiny. Shelmet and Cubcho.
Shiney Beartic SUX. His is SAME color. Only his Ice Beard is diferent. He is also tinted blue, but it is so subtle, you don't even notice. Make him RED or something, LOL. |

In the last week I've hunted and found both shiny Poliwhirl and Sandshrew in friend safari. However, even though I used a syncer as my first pokemon, the ivs for both were too poor to even consider battling with.
Funnily enough these friend safari catches were literally a side project. I've been masuda methoding my a** off for well over 1k eggs(lost count probably way more) with the intention of hatching a shiny machop. I've been doing it so long that I now have 5 perfect IV Machops with both guts/no guard and being male/female. Friend safari is way way way quicker, but ive just been unlucky with ivs/nature etc. I've used masuda twice before, once in platinum where it literally took the full 1400 eggs for a shiny charmander, great ivs and timid (nature wasn't guaranteed back then) and once in X and Y for a shiny pinsir which took me around the same amount of hatches. Based on all the other posts I see from players getting theirs in the first 100 hatches I assumed that Machop maybe where I got lucky, sadly this hasn't been the case. |

Hehe~ My first shiny was Clawitzer~
|
Ive only caught and seen one shiny and it was on pokemon gold it was a gold magikarp. Ive yet to run into one in pokemon Y

I seem to have the absolute worst luck with shinies compared to most of the community. My first one (aside from the Gyarados that everyone gets) was a Sneasel at Mt. Silver while I was grinding to take on Red on my original copy of Gold when I was 8. I didn't understand what it was because I thought the Gyarados was a one-time deal. I quickly caught it and added it to my team. It joined me in the final fight with Red, taking out his Espeon. The second one I found was a Weedle in the bug contest in the same game. My game got stolen not too long after that.
The next one was a Wingull I found on my Sapphire in 2009 when I was playing it to get Pokemon in anticipation for Platinum. I still have it. When I got my Platinum, I eventually hatched a shiny Eevee out of nowhere. It became an Espeon and I used it on my team for a long time even though its stats weren't the best. It still exists in Gen VI under the ownership of my friend Kimberly. I went through both 5th gen games without a single shiny encounter. Just my luck. Anyways, when I got my copy of X, I decided to hatch for adamant/high IV Banettes (my all-time favorite ghost-type, painfully underrated). On my first egg, I get a shiny. I freaked out and figured it was retribution for all the years of no luck with shinies. It had a neutral nature, but its IVs weren't half-bad, so I still use it. I also obtained a Mantine and a Tentacruel in trades. My final and probably best shiny came from my first attempt to use the Friend Safari. I went into a fire-type safari and my first wild encounter was a shiny Ninetales with the drought ability. I caught her and named her Venus (after the Lady Gaga song lol). She had a neutral nature, but great IVs in everywhere I wanted them. This thing has been a huge help in my competitive battles and was pretty awesome to find. |
I got 2 boxes full almost 3! Including about 12 eevees :-)
|
My first was Golking.
I had tried fishing shinies and failed for days.... 134 chain and nothing. Then I wanted to catch a magikarp for the dex entry.... and found a shiny golking on third try... Almost didn't realize it was shiny because it looks almost the same. After that I fished a shiny Dragalge and a shiny Corsola (which is ultra cute btw x3) on the same day. And just now I caught a shiny Seviper in my safari. :) Shiny hunting is pretty fun in Y. |

Hmm..I dunno, but I'll try.

Hey so is it just me or do you tend not to use your shiny pokemon? The only one I've ever really used in battles was shiny machamp.

More than 1 shiny in a day! Oh my goodness!!! I can't imagine myself doing that... it took me a week to get shiny heatran by soft resetting
|
I'm currently trying to find myself a shiny Froakie. Have asked my friends if they have any, and a couple of them seem to but none have any extra. :( Other than that, I'm also searching for shiny Shroomish.

I got a shiny Maractus through a trade with a random person for a Charizard from japan. I'm still searching for an untrained shiny azurill or marill with huge power ability. I didn't encounter a shiny one myself.. I have a grass friend safari with ivysaur and skiddo (and a thirth one) so if anyone has a friend safari with an azurill please sent a PM with your friend code!

I know this isn't the place for it, but can Snivy learn Iron Tail and Aqua Tail through breeding??? Because I got a Shiny Snivy out of a trade
|
Quote:
|
OMG, thank you. For about 10 minutes, I was paranoid thinking that it was a hacked one or something like that. And its a + because it is also Shiny
So happy!! |
I think I'm gonna set a challenge for myself, and it will take a long long time to accomplish. I'm going to get all of the Kanto Shinies(- Legendaries)
|
I've had 9 shinies in total all in pokemon x and y:
. Shiny Charizard (Y) . Shiny Zoroark . Shiny Pancham ( found by accident and traded for charizardite x) .Shiny Machoke ( found by accident and traded for kyogre) . Shiny 6IV Korean Ditto off trade .Shiny Charmander (found by accident when competitive breeding) . Shiny Bergmite ( found by accident and traded for giratina) . Shiny Graveler (found by accident when training in victory road) up for trade. So overall I've been extremely, lucky. I've found 8 shinies myself. I've only got the shiny graveler up for trade. I have Pokemon Y. In this week, after 10 hours of play, I've found 4! I was ecstatic when I had a shiny adamant charmander by accident with perfect HP ATCK SPEED Iv's. I might give that one to my brother. I don't have shiny charm either. I'm hoping to fill the pokedex soon since I've collected 396 pokemon. |
How are you going to get shiny mew? Unless you've got shiny legendaries from previous games.

According to the Pokedex, litleo can only only be found in route 22. My shiny Zoroark hasn't got exactly the best stats either, even though it was bred. I'm keeping it anyway for the sake of collection. I tried chaining but I was really bad at it. I heard two shiny patches, and each time i wasn't paying attention and i chose the wrong patch. My shiny bergmite,pancham and machoke were all found by accident in friend safari. I think the chances of finding a shiny in friend safari are close to that of masuda method, maybe a little bit more or less. For me it's possible to breed 5IV shiny pokemon since I have shiny 6IV Korean ditto given to me. If I get another english 6IV pokemon, I will get a 5IV pokemon with the right nature every time with a chance of getting a shiny! But I'm only going to that competitively. I really wish I got that shiny charmander later in the breeding process for a competitive pokemon, because I was teaching it Dragon Dance and Outrage.
|
Friend safaris are 1 in 1000 without the charm and 1 in 500 with it supposedly. Anyway my last shiny was a 5iv shiny snorlax and then a shiny galvantula in a safari, right now I am breeding for shiny chespin.

I have been looking for a shiny from the cyndaquil evolution tree on the gts, but all of the "in return" pokemon are ones that i can't trade. I will trade me shiny entei for one of the mentioned pokemon. Please send a private message if interested.

Ok, looking at earlier posts and seeing some sort of Shiny Charm. Sounds freaking amazing! Where do you get it and does it work with breeding?

I know this is a dumb question, but I'm gonna say it anyway. The National Dex. Meaning all 718 pokemon(not including Diancie)???

Can someone attempt to chain either a shiny Litleo or a shiny Fletchling for me? I will be giving away shinies to anyone who can help. I've tried and every time something breaks my chain. :/
|
So far hording and MM hunting has worked best for me.

But, I will still help you out... |
