Rayheart July 10th, 2014 10:50 AM

Hmm.. could be possible. PokeBank did have some glitches where hacked Pokes were passed as legitimate. It's hard to tell until PokeCheck comes out for Gen 6.

I recently received a shiny Mewtwo from wonder trade and has amazing sp.attk and speed, I threw a party that day.

Was it from Kalos? I may have to look into stats for the legendaries you can get in these games. I'm pretty sure you can soft reset to get Mewtwo as a shiny, but Xerneas, Yveltal and Zygarde are shiny-locked. I know that Xerneas and Yveltal are guaranteed at least two perfect IVs. Anyone know if that's the same for all legendary Pokemon you can catch?

DarkIllumination July 10th, 2014 1:46 PM

Actually, it came from fire red or leaf green through being moved from gen to gen.

I suppose it can be called legitimate. Once Pokecheck comes out, make sure you put it on there to check if it truly is legal. Check it's moves and ability on Serebii and if you see something abnormal then it's hacked. Also check the Pokeball.

Mewtwo, Xerneas, Yveltal and Zygarde all are guaranteed at least 3 perfect IVs and three random IVs.

DarkIllumination July 10th, 2014 4:56 PM

Sure thing and I think it is legit since it can be traded.

That's definitely one factor that means it's legitimate. There are so many hacked 'mons out there that it's just too hard to know if it's actually a legal shiny.

DarkIllumination July 10th, 2014 9:03 PM

True, though they can also be cloned as well.

I think cloning shinies is the way most people keep trade shops in business, no? Personally, I don't clone.

Me neither and I caught a shiny staryu today and named it Lucky Charm.

Congratulations! Did you get it through chain fishing?

DarkIllumination July 11th, 2014 9:09 AM

Yeah, after I broke 2 chains which were short, I fished five times and got it and now it's a starmie and it seems I have the best luck getting shinies by fishing or trading, anything else no luck.

Same here, caught my 3rd shiny poliwhirl and took me 10 mins lol, traded it for a shiny woobbuffet.

But my luck never works on breeding for shinies, charmander eggs going up to 1.5k or more. :/ I have been breeding all day now. So many failmanders to wonder trade.

DarkIllumination July 11th, 2014 12:08 PM

I tried to do the same and none of them cane out shiny or had good enough IVs

Rayheart July 12th, 2014 2:34 AM

Shiny charmander gettooo, 5IV but female :( i kinda prefer my charizards male. Anyway its ok since my shiny wartortle is a she too :(). My Shiny Venus will be happy since its a HE lol.

Omg, finally now time to get rid of ( wonder trade ) the rest of my charmander boxes.

Just got a shiny ivysaur in friend safari :D

Rayheart July 14th, 2014 3:56 PM

Hatched my Blue Tyrunt today. Sadly, has 3 IVs. :(

sean777 July 14th, 2014 3:59 PM

And now an xatu! On fire today!

sean777 July 14th, 2014 4:02 PM

And just realised it has hidden ability!!!

DarkIllumination July 14th, 2014 5:40 PM

Chaining for shiny houndour, wish me luck.

Zenfyre July 14th, 2014 9:01 PM

Was looking for a shiny Golurk in the Friend Safari and I ran into a shiny Phantump. Thing is I already have a shiny Phantump I enjoy so I'm going to offer this one up for trade, as well as a shiny Ninetails I found last week.
(Check my post here if you're interested)

Also, I managed to get that shiny Golurk I was looking for. I had to name him Alphonse. :D

Sabeleyes July 15th, 2014 7:51 AM

Its awesome the amount of shinies you all cqn find, I cant find one but im still trying :D

Anyone got friend code on pokemon Y?

Akuryou Inushii July 15th, 2014 4:59 PM

Shiny hunting for me has been stressful.

Raikou July 15th, 2014 11:37 PM

I've gotten 13 shinies from the GTS just from trading things that (I think?) people needed for their pokedexes. I got a shiny Growlithe for a Pelipper.

As for shiny hunting myself, it's going slow. All I've gotten is a shiny Duosion (on X) and a shiny Barbaracle (on Y). I just started breeding a Japanese Honedge to try and get a shiny Aegislash. I want one so bad. I've hatched about 80 eggs with no luck so far. x_x

Sabeleyes July 16th, 2014 4:05 AM

Just as I posted here I got a shiny dragonite of wonder trade. Sucks that its abtrade Imwanna find my own.

Akuryou Inushii July 19th, 2014 5:53 PM

I'm pretty much on hiatus with my hunts right now. Don't know why.

jokerslayer July 19th, 2014 7:29 PM

360 eggs on Beldum and no shiny =(

I do, but I'm a picky guy who wants to breed a 5IV shiny so... tough luck.

On my 17th box now, that's like 500 eggs...

Bowlstir July 21st, 2014 8:10 PM

250 eggs, no shiny gastly w/disable :/

Akuryou Inushii July 23rd, 2014 6:45 PM

I'm sad to say that I think I've stopped my shiny hunts..

AlmostGod July 24th, 2014 9:39 AM

I've got a Shiny Seviper via Wondertrade, gave the guy a Magby :).

Akuryou Inushii July 24th, 2014 6:15 PM

Hmm, I have a lot of Unova shinies and stuff..should I create a thread for it?

Fourth The Tyrant July 24th, 2014 10:14 PM

One time I wasn't even hunting, I just ran into a shiny pidgey in the grass before the first gym. Went back to the PC to check it out, came back to the grass, very next encounter, another shiny pidgey. I was like 'What sorcery is this?!"
I've hatched a shiny Tyrunt and Litleo, and a growlithe I gave away...
I've also had decent success in Safari's. All by accident, I got a shiny Gabite, Ponyta and Bergmite. Still trying to trade the Bergmite. It's got perfect IVs in Def and HP, so it could make a decent tank...
Y has been my lucky game for shinies. ^-^

ilias_ July 25th, 2014 2:43 AM

Just got a shiny Vanillite while EV training! :) It's so cute!!! :)

MegaArcanine July 25th, 2014 2:52 AM

On my First ever go at breeding I hatched a Shiny Charmander ... Only 20 eggs too

Cyclone July 25th, 2014 11:13 AM

I haven't had anything in the last week or two. Who stole the horseshoe out of my butt?

MiamiDolphins July 26th, 2014 3:50 PM

I have two boxes full of shinies, but only about 4 are ones I found. The rest are trade XD

Cyclone July 27th, 2014 1:19 PM

Two more Shiny Teddiursa have surfaced.

jokerslayer July 27th, 2014 6:13 PM

Gave up shiny breeding after 1200 eggs without a shiny Beldum. Now aiming to get the shiny charm instead before I dare trying to shiny hunt again...

Player805 July 27th, 2014 10:05 PM

I hatched a shiny eevee the other day modest with its HA and i decided to go with sylveon as its evolution i could have traded it as an eevee but i kept it since its my first shiny on X and my first masuda shiny
P.S. Only hatched like 25 eevees to get it :-) got pretty lucky cuz those are hard AF to hatch

Akuryou Inushii July 28th, 2014 4:30 PM

I have too many shinies I think. Lol. x3

stellarsky08 August 1st, 2014 7:41 AM

Hi I'm new to this forum btw~ :D Earlier while I was casually hunting for a shiny, a shiny dragonair showed up in my friend safari and i got 2 shiny seakings while hunting for a sharpedo/gyarados. >_< And my first shiny is dwebble btw which was a random encounter from a smashed rock. :D

Here's my FC: 4270-2302-0913

Can someone tell me the last pokemon in my safari? I only know wartortle and krabby :K

Welcome to the forum dear! <3 I'm Aku, the creator of this thread. Congratulations on the shiny Pokemon!

stellarsky08 August 1st, 2014 9:13 PM

@akuryou Thank you~! ^^ And I'm planning to get at least once shiny every day~ have a great one. :)

Floralpikmin99 August 2nd, 2014 4:43 AM

I'm happy because I managed to get a shiny Deino in roughly 15 eggs. I have two other shinies, a relicanth and Alomonola, but those were from chain fishing.

PokeChris123 August 2nd, 2014 8:32 AM

In my Pokemon Y, I've got a Shiny Ditto who is Timid and had 6 perfect IVs! It has Limber though... Got this one through Wonder Trade.

Anyways, my first shiny that I caught in Y was Alomomola while fish chaining. Two days ago, I started fish chaining again and ran into a Shiny Gyarados! I was going to catch it but my Cobalion had other plans and decided to knock out the Gyarados. :( But I kept fish chaining and very soon afterwards ran into a shiny Seaking and another shiny Gyarados. Later that day, I went Horde hunting and within a few minutes I managed to capture a shiny Gulpin. Yesterday I went Horde Hunting again, and it took a while but I eventually got what I was searching for: a shiny Minun! Now I'm Horde Hunting again in Terminus Cave, hoping to either get a shiny Durant, a shiny Geodude (not really), or a shiny Larvitar!

Edit: About 5 seconds after I post this, I find a shiny Geodude, lol. Almost had a heart attack when another Geodude used Magnitude, but luckily the shiny Geodude lived and I managed to knock out all the others and catch this shiny Geodude.

By the way, am I the only one who has the worst luck with the Masuda Method, PokeRadar method and Friend Safari shiny Pokemon? I can't ever get Pokemon through these methods.

I haven't put in that big an effort at any yet, just dabbled with them. I did get a Shiny Eevee by chance once, and it had the worst IVs of the entire lot (ironically). I wasn't ready for my Shiny at that point, and in the future Egg Move breeding, did not see another. Once my Dex is filled and I have the Charm, I'll try again now that I've added Wish to the specimen.

My Shiny luck has really been in the Friend Safari so far, meanwhile. In one Safari only, but likely because I hang out there to train things quickly.

Mr.Eeveelutions August 2nd, 2014 10:09 AM

Today, out of the blue, I found a shiny Emolga! I don't even like the pokemon, but who cares it is shiny! Also traded a Rotom for a shiny Dodrio :)
Just thought I would share this ;)

Akuryou Inushii August 3rd, 2014 7:28 PM

Officially going to start a breeding project: either Amaura, or Goomy. cx I think Goomy because it's too cute.

Indig0 August 4th, 2014 3:54 AM

I managed to breed a shiny Froakie with Masuda Method but irritatingly it was one of the very few eggs that didn't have Protean :')

I got a shiny Vivillon with Pokerus through trading a rotom.

Cyclone August 4th, 2014 6:19 AM

Having rare Pokémon increases your chances of getting quality Shinies. Just obtained a 6IV Shiny Kangaskhan yesterday. Hey, Battle Maison? Checkmate.

Indig0 August 4th, 2014 11:53 AM

Kangaskhan is going to be one of my next attempts. I'm currently trying to get a Shiny Chespin :)

I may breed an HA one. This one has Scrappy.

It's also Italian. Sadly, it's also female.

It increases trading prospects, for one. "Hey, I have a Mega Kick Pikachu." "WTF REALLY? I GIVE YOU MY 6IV ZYGARDE."

Note that this was a dramatization. But it could happen.

Zenfyre August 4th, 2014 9:12 PM

I'm currently attempting to hatch a shiny Solosis right now. I've already gone through a lot of eggs (a few boxes worth at least) but no shiny yet. Before I started breeding for Solosis I was casually breeding my Cofagrigus with a Japanese Ditto to get Yamask's Pokedex entry, and a shiny Yamask hatched out from the second egg! Wondering if I should put this on hold and try to get the Shiny Charm first, even though I've only caught 370 Pokemon so far.

Cyclone August 5th, 2014 6:09 AM

Once I cross the 700 mark, I'll look for the Shiny Charm. For now, I'm just being casual. I know I'll get there as I have a full Black Dex, but I do have a few Kalos ones to catch as well.

Akuryou Inushii August 5th, 2014 6:38 PM

If anyone needs any shinies or anything for their Pokedex, I can help. ^~^

hughes August 5th, 2014 6:56 PM

I spent all of yesterday MMing two different Pokemon, but I didn't get any luck. So today I decided to try a different Pokemon, and I ended up getting a Shiny Dedenne after five eggs. This is now my third shiny using the Masuda Method in this gen (the others being an Eevee and a Yamask). I generally use this method while I'm breeding for competitive use, but unfortunately none of these guys had the proper IV spread - the Eevee has 2 perfect IVs and Yamask and Dedenne have 4. I'm going to try breeding Honedge next, so hopefully this one will work out better.

Cyclone August 8th, 2014 9:14 AM

Well, my highlight trade of the day: someone at Neoseeker was looking for a Shiny Eevee for a fresh playthrough of his game, and was offering a Shiny Metagross. I had Eevee clones handy, so sent one with the requested Fire Stone (I had offered an otherwise unobtainable Enigma Berry).

So I get the Metagross to the rater. Turns out the Metagross, already Lv.100, is 6IV. Attack IVs are maxed out, and both forms of Defense are bolstered to about half.

That's a hard one to top. Too bad I don't have Steel or Psychic in my Gym or it would be used.

GreenFlame August 8th, 2014 10:33 AM

Am I the only one who hasn't encountered a single Shiny in any of my games?
(Actually, I may have in previous generations but not recognised their coloring because I was new to Pokémon, but I know what they look like now and about their 'Shiny' effect and as far as I know I haven't found one in X at all, and most likely none of the others)

Maybe I got a really bad seed for the RNG...

Stardiver August 8th, 2014 12:32 PM

I have a shiny beedrill and a shiny ditto I will trade either one for a shiny earls or honedge. FC 3969-4424-8985

jokerslayer August 8th, 2014 2:28 PM

Just got my shiny 5IV Axew after only 105 eggs (too bad it's a female and not flawless but oh well, a shiny is a shiny ^^)! This shiny charm has been doing wonders for me.

I really want that freakin' Shiny Charm... Damn Sycamore making me obtain the whole National Pokédex before I get it. I should start working on doing that, but it's gonna take quite a while.

Ya it took me a little more than a week just GTS trading after trading. It's a lot of work but now I'm using it effectively. Male Shiny Axew came just 2 boxes after the female one.

adameastment August 10th, 2014 5:08 AM

In the last 24 hours I've been traded a Shiny 6IV ditto, caught a shiny Mankey in Friend Safari and hatched a 5IV shiny Aerodactyl.

Super fun times!

bewbs August 10th, 2014 1:24 PM

I got a shiny hoppip called grape on wondertrade.

GreenFlame August 10th, 2014 4:22 PM

I finally got my first Shiny from chain fishing! It was a Shiny Alomomola! It looks very nice in purple...

Then, I did it again and found a Shiny Goldeen! I made the horrible decision to use Struggle Bug on it, and it was a critical hit and it fainted :(

But I kept chain-fishing and I found another one and caught it this time! It looks very nice with its gold :)

Pochama95 August 10th, 2014 5:13 PM

I Muse Sullivan have finally recieved the shiny charm!! Froakie I am coming for you!........................for the 4th time (hoping for success).

8/10/14 9:02pm will always be a special day...........not really.

GreenFlame August 11th, 2014 8:29 AM

Update: Got more Shinies! I got the Shiny Magikarp which is colored pure gold and evolves into the Red Gyarados! I also got a Shiny Luvdisc which is colored yellow and looks quite nice.

Am currently Poké-Radar-ing for a Shiny Pikachu.

Dragneil August 12th, 2014 6:26 PM

decided to shiny hunt charmeleon in friend safari after months of not playing got one within 30min of turning on my ds. I think the game is reeling me back in xD

Judge Rapier19 August 14th, 2014 10:42 AM

Got a Shiny Horsea after 5 minutes of chain fishing (first time i tried it). Hopefully get this lucky again as looking for a Shiny Dratini (Like the look of the shiny Dragonair) :)

Akuryou Inushii August 21st, 2014 10:22 AM

Hahah, maybe it is. cx So, I'm thinking of doing a Shiny Emporium for trading, I have a reliable method of cloning. What do you guys think?

Rageon August 22nd, 2014 12:47 AM

How Do You Get Shinies!?
 
Hi Trainers, I see people boasting about there "Limited Edition Max IV Shiny Mew" and I wonder how do they do it. All the experienced Shiny Hunters out there, could you give me some tips? People will say "It's just Luck" but you see people with about 200 shinies so there has to be something to it! So if you have any tips (good places to luck etc.) I'd be grateful!

Unless you cheat, it really is all up to luck. This gen I found shinies are infinitely easier to get (I only ever got one while playing the entire GameBoy Advance generation games and this gen I have probably a couple dozen) When you complete the Pokedex you get a Shiny Charm (I think that's what it's called) that doubles the chance of finding a shiny, and when you breed using at least 1 parent from a different region as you you get an increased chance of the offspring being shiny, but that's pretty much all you can do.

I personally have been finding a shiny pokemon approximately 1 every 100 hours of gameplay, but I have gotten lucky such as breeding both a shiny Fennekin and a shiny Chespin within an hour of each other, and a few days ago finding a shiny Hoppip in a horde and then a little while later that same session finding a shiny Skiddo. My luck though has been due to grinding. I level up all my pokemon from level 1 through battling. And not 1 pokemon battling with the Exp Share turned on either, but rather each and every single pokemon fights in battles itself to level itself up (I do use the Lucky Egg though) and because of the sheer number of battles I'm fighting all the time I am running into shinies every once in a while. There's things you can do to increase the odds (as I had previously mentioned, such as the shiny charm and breeding pokemon from different regions) but no matter what you do, it's not going to be a quick thing. It's going to take a lot of time so you're better off doing other things (such as levelling up, battling for money, etc, etc) and while you're not thinking about it, you'll eventually run into a shiny once in a while.

Mew cannot be bred, nor can it be caught in-game. There has also not been a Mew event since way back in 2010. Therefore, I have every reason to believe that the Mew you speak of is a hack and is not something that should be asked for help finding. Forget the Max IV part of it; the Shiny part, and even the very fact that it supposedly appears within Kalos, is a hack.

Leòmhann teine August 22nd, 2014 8:23 AM

I found my second shiny this morning before going to work. The last time I found a shiny it was in pkmn sapphire about 10 years ago. I couldn't believe it when I found a shiny sigilygh in the friend safari.

Hey guys!

I've had luck recently in the Friend Safari again, after a long hiatus of not hunting.

So I was wandering around in an Electric-type safari, with Emolga, Pikachu, and my favorite electric type, Manectric. I was on Skype with my boyfriend, and all the sudden I see sparkles. I look over, and it was a shiny Manectric! I was speechless, since I had never had particularly good luck in that safari, I'd gone in there a lot in the past, couldn't find anything.

So, in honor of the shiny Manectric, I decided to clone it while it was holding a Master Ball. I'm giving them away, first come, first serve! Let me know if you'd like one. <3

(I only have six of them.)

I can definitely get you one, if you so desire. ^^ I added your friend code also, and I got your PM about one of the Manectrics.

So I decided to do some testing in the Friend Safari after reading some data on Smogon about the shiny rates in there. So, it's approximated that the shiny rate is 1/512. The shiny charm has no effect. To test this, I did a tally chart in a notebook during my hunt in a Fire-type safari. After around 90 encounters, I found a shiny Charmeleon.

And what did you come up with in your tally chart? Nice what ivs does it have maxed out?

Akuryou Inushii August 25th, 2014 5:26 PM

I had roughly 50 encounters logged before going to lay down in bed, and it seems that tipping has no effect either. If demand is great, I may put the link to the data here.

I haven't checked it yet, I will soon though!

My very first was a Rapidash it was so freaking cool then I lost the game it was on. I had never heard of a shiny Pokemon before when I caught it and freaked out thinking I caught some event Pokemon thing lol! Congrats on yours and may there be many many more to come its awesome when you catch your first shiny!

yosuke49 August 27th, 2014 6:06 AM

exctly sooo awesome, i'm trying to complete the pokedex now so that i can get the shinny charm and get a lot of them, i've heard that the charm makes a loot easier to get shinnies
