i've got like 5 BOX so far and no pink dratiny

Proteun August 28th, 2014 11:53 AM

Okay guys, I got at this point where I just had to tell someone.

I have bred for Shiny Eevees in my copy of Pokémon X and got four Eeveelutions now, but I never really encountered one until Monday when I found a Shiny Geodude in a Horde. It gave me kind of a hard time to be caught, but eventually I got it in a Dusk Ball.

On the next day, Tuesday, I found a Shiny Gurdurr in the same spot. I caught it with one Quick Ball.

On Wednesday, I found a Shiny Graveler. In exactly the same spot. I caught it in the first Quick Ball thrown.

Then today, on Thursday, I found a Shiny Murkrow in a Horde on Route 15 while EV training. I caught it eventually in a Repeat Ball.

Four days, on each an accidental Shiny. What is happening to me?! You won't hear me complaining, though...
Also, that means I have both a Shiny Graveler and a Shiny Geodude, so if you need one of those let me know. If you have a Shiny back it would be great!

yosuke49 August 28th, 2014 7:18 PM

wooow man you're so lucky ! show me where on the map is that ! i need to farm there xP

Akuryou Inushii August 30th, 2014 5:30 PM

May be postponing my hunts for a while, working on getting some more safaris first. =)

mikey August 31st, 2014 7:52 AM

I got a shiny Ivysuar last night while in a friend safari! I've also gotten a shiny Relecanth through chain fishing a few months back :3

Player805 August 31st, 2014 2:35 PM

140 eggs later and i got a 5IV shiny gastly :)

Nah September 3rd, 2014 3:35 PM

I just caught a shiny Pikachu and a shiny Electrode within minutes of each other in an Electric Friend Safari. Wasn't even looking for them. That's so weird.....

EDIT: And today I caught a shiny Scraggy while horde EV training.

ninac87 September 7th, 2014 4:09 AM

I got a shiny female lvl 23 Shellos through wonder trade. It also got a hasty nature. So thats my sixth shiny.

Megan September 8th, 2014 4:03 AM

While I was breeding for a 6IV Gible I got a shiny one, but unfortunately only with 4 perfect IV. Since both parents were hatched in my game either, no Masuda Method involved, but considering how much I bred in this game it was bound to happen sooner or later.

ingcoliptis September 9th, 2014 1:15 AM

I almost always breed, but I go to safaris occasionally, however I never chain. Eggs are more fun for me because I can build my shiny the way I want, leaving nothing but 1IV up to RNG in optimal cases. I also just find the whole mechanic more fun in general, with all the technical stuff, not just find more pokemon. Granted chaining to 40 takes skill, but I would hate to put in that work for a 2 or 3 IV pokemon.

Akuryou Inushii September 11th, 2014 1:06 PM

Seeing that post about finding a shiny Ivysaur reminded me of a time when I found a shiny Ivysaur and accidentally ran. I reclaimed it though!

CuteLittleBlack September 12th, 2014 8:02 AM

Got a shiny Corsola with chain fishing, and shiny unown and furfrou through trades ^^

I chain fish most of my shinies, or trade or find them by accident in friend safari's.

fallkitten September 12th, 2014 11:00 AM

I like hunting in safaries. Got some pretty nice shibnies, including braixen (but the next day I've got 5 IV Fennekin, so this one can be traded) MM method maybe good, but I still have no shiny pichu=(

Hiatus September 12th, 2014 5:26 PM

My most recent shiny would be Scyther, which my friend gave. As for encountering, that would have to be Litleo.

Akuryou Inushii September 14th, 2014 7:32 AM

Well, was doing a double hunting session on my two systems, in an Ice safari and a Flying safari, I managed to find a shiny Delibird in my Y version (I have X and Y).

Ancientforest September 14th, 2014 4:26 PM

I just transferred my shinies through transporter today. Koffing and mightyena were originally from Gen III and Golem was from gen IV. If I ever find my Goldeen, i'll bring that over too. No shinies found in X or Y so far

Have you found anything in the Friend Safari?

Hiatus September 15th, 2014 5:45 PM

I don't believe I have, sadly. Probably would've, but I don't find myself visiting the place as much anymore.

shoten September 15th, 2014 10:44 PM

if anyone would be interested in a shiny druddigon, on my youtube channel im making a giveaway!
channel name is ShotensGaming/SHOTENacity

i plan to regularly do shiny giveaways!

There was a guy a while back that proved the shiny charm doesn't work in the safari, only I'm breeding and encounters outside the safari.

I can't post the link but if you Google it, it should be a smogon article

Lapras120 September 16th, 2014 6:28 AM

Well I am trying to get a shiny Vulpix through the masuda method and after 75 eggs hatched nothing yet.

sean777 September 16th, 2014 10:32 AM

Aww that's strange I seem to be really lucky in safari! Just got a shiny venamoth a minute ago!

Trying to find a shiny Poochyena. Any ideas?

rhydon91 September 20th, 2014 2:49 PM

Until I started hatching, none. But I hatched a shiny Charmander after only 21 eggs! While I was hatching them, I found a shiny Whismur in a horde in Connection Cave by accident!

I'm trying for Shiny Froakie right now but I've gone through countless Eggs and have probably reintroduced the species into the wild. I'm getting sick of it. If I try a different Pokemon, does anyone think my chances of getting one will reset?

Basically, every single egg has the exact same chance of being shiny. It won't reset, it'll just give you the same odds.

Not a problem, if you need a shiny Froakie/Frogadier/Greninja let me know. I also saw your PM, added you back.

Akuryou Inushii September 23rd, 2014 12:43 PM

Here's a little rundown with how Masuda Method works, for those of you who breed for shinies.

Basically, you'll want a Pokemon from a region different from where your copy of the game was purchased, and a Pokemon native to your region. Place them in the Day Care on Route 7. Make sure, if you want to hatch eggs quickly, that you have a Pokemon with the Ability Flame Body or Magma Armor, which helps with Egg Cycles.

You can take a penny or a dime and place it under the circle pad on your 3DS to go in one direction in Centrico Plaza, which has a set circle with little/no obstacles. Easy hatching, but you have to switch your hatched Pokemon with every batch of five.

Few tips:

-Every time the Masuda Method is used, the game will make extra attempts to spawn a shiny.

-Each egg has the same probability of being shiny.

-The Pokemon has to have a specific PID (Pokemon ID) that will decide if it's shiny or not when XOR'd with your Secret ID (Unviewable) and your Trainer ID after they're converted into binary. If the resulting number is less than 16 (previously < 8 ) you have a shiny.

DJX71294 September 29th, 2014 8:55 AM

Hey guys im new here , so on my X i just beat the postgame decided to start hatching chimchar eggs to send of to GTS to fill the dex

My first egg was a shiny adamant chimchar , i was so happy , this has made me want to get every shiny in the game!!! i dont know how to upload images :(

Morgnarok September 30th, 2014 5:58 AM

Well, you could consider me lucky or not lucky. I like to think of it as hard work, a lot of free time and determination. On my Pokemon Y version which is my original game I preordered and had since release I have every Pokemon shiny except for Legendarys/NoN breed able Pokemon. I took the time after beating the game to want to breed every Pokemon with Perfect Iv's and Shiny. Little to say I was playing almost everyday 15 hours for about 6 months to complete this goal. My game time is at 999:59 on Pokemon Y and it had already hit the max game time before I was done lol

Akuryou Inushii October 3rd, 2014 2:21 AM

These are some nice stories to read from you guys, hunting for shinies and getting the 999:59 max game time. XD I have it too, I wish it actually increased.

MiniMinun October 3rd, 2014 2:58 AM

I have never really had any luck with shinies... EVER... I have found a total or THREE in my life. The first one I got was in emerald, and technically, it's the best possible shiny you can get: Nincada. Because, well, now I get two shinies out of the deal! :) (I haven't evolved it yet; let's hope I don't screw it up and just get one!) Next, I played through X and Y FULLY without ever seeing one. My brother, who is obsessed with the Masuda Method (even though it has never worked for him...Poor guy) finally convinced me to try it out. So, I started breeding Minuns. Three boxes later, POOF! SHINY!!!!! *Commence freakout* My brother, who was on box ten of his Treeckos, gave up after that. xD Finally, months later, I was in the car looking for a Magmar in the FriendS. I got an encouter, and I LITERALLY thought to myself: What are the odds of it being shiny... Well, I guess it IS technically possible... POOF! SHINY LAMPENT!!!!! WOOOHOOOO!!!!

Okay, I'm done. :D

It's always exciting finding shinies, when you think, "When will it appear?" The sparkles are the most satisfying thing ever. ♡

Sneaky Truth October 3rd, 2014 8:13 PM

Hatched an Adamant 5IV Technician Scyther the other day after 725 eggs with the Masuda Method. Promptly evolved that into a lovely green Scizor which wrecks face now.

I received a shiny Bagon today from wonder trading all the breedject Scythers away. Unfortunately it doesn't have a particularly helpful nature, or any 31 IVs, so it's a trophy shiny. If anyone has something interesting they'd like to trade for it, hit me up! I already have a 6IV Moxie Salamence I use on my team.

J9794 October 4th, 2014 10:57 AM

The only shinnies I got in pokemon X were 2 red Clawitzers with the fishing method, they are called "Why not" and "Zoidberg?", and I was thinking on trying to get a shinny ralts via breeding (cus mega shinny garvedoir is really cool), but I decided to breed some good pokemon to battle before (half of my team is still playthrough pokemon).

P.S. Oh, I also got a 6iv shinny ditto with imposter in wonder trade. yay.

Cloche October 5th, 2014 11:34 AM

I got a shiny Chandelure on Wonder Trade. That's it for X and y. I need more. ; . ;

Aoba October 6th, 2014 9:19 AM

I tried chain fishing for the first time yesterday and got shiny Poliwag out of it. I think I'll evolve him into a Politoed.
I'm not sure if I want to use that method again, seems bit too easy for me. Like normal chaining is little bit more challenging compared to chain fishing. But it was nice to see my first wild shiny in XY. :b

mfmeijer94 October 6th, 2014 12:03 PM

I really can't find any in the safari's.. I got a shiny maractus through a trade. Traded it for a shiny Azurill. Just masuda hatched a shiny Swinub and trying to masuda hatch a shiny swablu!

Death October 8th, 2014 6:14 AM

I recently tried to hatch a shiny aipom.

I got two.

The first one has 31 on relevant IVs except Sp. Def.

So, I continued hatching more eggs, and finally got the one with the right IVs.

Akuryou Inushii October 8th, 2014 3:39 PM

That's definitely pure luck. XD

EagleVision1999 October 10th, 2014 9:13 AM

I got the shiny charm a few days ago and am currently hunting for shinies via horde encounters. I've found two so far, a Whismur and a Hoppip. Since I'd already catched a shiny Togepi before I now have three Kalos native shinies I myself catched. This is more than ever before. I also got a lot of shines through trade and even Wonder Trade. More than one box full.

Akuryou Inushii October 10th, 2014 9:22 AM

Eagle, added your Friend Code. ^-^ Mine is 1478 4489 7884 ~

Nice that you find so many shinies. =3

ElGamer October 10th, 2014 10:59 AM

Not sure if I can call myself a shiny hunter or not. I am not hunting shinies on a regular basis, but from time to time I settle down to try catching some shinies. So far I Pokémon X, I have gotten a shiny Kirlia in FS, breed Magikarp, Charmander and Gastly (now a Gengar) in shines and had quite some luck in Wonder Trade and gotten Nidorino, Rhyhorn, Gabite (now Garchomp) and Bellossom (traded for a shiny Swellow). So, have gotten my fair share of shinies, but can't say I have actively hunted for them.

mfmeijer94 October 10th, 2014 11:44 AM

I really need to get the Shiny charm but it's really hard to complete the complete dex without BW/B2W2.. Also shiny swinub in 30 eggs :D

That. And congrats for the swinub!

I'm on a quest for getting all the legendaries on my pokedex, already got Moltres and Yveltal for lvl 91 common pokes, then, I put a shinny clawtizer in GTS and got a suicune, and yesterday started a chain of trades in GTS. First Yveltal for Mewtwo, then Mewtwo for Lugia -> Ho-oH -> Kyurem -> Palkia -> Dialga -> Shinny Kyogre and stopped there cus ****ing shinny Kyogre, so now I started a similar chain with suicune to get the legendary trios in my dex.

Powerserge October 10th, 2014 4:49 PM

I caught my first wild Shiny a few days ago, while playing Pokemon Black. Unfortunately, it was an Audino...urgh. I couldn't even beat it for the exp.

Akuryou Inushii October 10th, 2014 5:39 PM

Doing a breeding project for Chikorita now. ^-^

It's actually not that difficult if you have something interesting you can breed and upload to the GTS. I got a significant amount of BW/BW2 Pokemon with egg move Ponytas I bred. The GTS is full of unreasonable trade offers, so simply searching for Pokemon is ineffective but uploading and requesting Pokemon yourself can work great.

In regards to shiny hunting...I'm apparently crap at chaining, but I think I can manage chain fishing so that's what I'm going to try next. Luvdisks aren't useful Pokemon but they're cute and easy to fish for. Afterwards I'll try some more radar chaining maybe...

Emboar October 12th, 2014 4:11 PM

All my shinies I have on X have involved trading:

- Venusaur -> Charizard

- Aggron -> Froakie -> Frogadier -> non-shiny Diancie -> Entei -> Suicune -> Shaymin -> Genesect -> Jirachi -> Darkrai

- Torchic -> Combusken -> Blaziken

- Goldeen -> Seaking

- non-shiny Clefairy -> Golbat -> Crobat -> Octillery

- non-shiny Charizard -> Beartic

I don't remember what I traded for my shiny Hydreigon.

BongsAway October 12th, 2014 5:43 PM

I have only 2 shinies lol. i haven't played much since the game came out, but i have a pikachu which i caught via chaining. and a protean frogadier from fs which is now a greninja, has 31 iv's in sp atk, and sp def, with a neutral nature

Mirza_du October 14th, 2014 12:44 AM

i found and catched in 2 hours 2 shiny durants...one with blue eyes and one with green...also cathed in horde after first encounter shiny vanillite....now i got for 30lvl masquerin in trade shiny ivysaur 100lvl with perf.stats. these days are boooms

SlightlyWinged October 14th, 2014 9:24 AM

I don't know if I'm a shiny hunter, though I do enjoy catching and looking for them. :D Before X/Y, I had no luck with shinies, but now I can get pretty much any shiny I want, and it's awesome!

I've only actively hunted for a few shinies, which I keep for my team. I have a shiny Altaria and Audino. Believe it or not, I wanted both of those since I first saw their shiny forms. The fact that they're both getting Mega Evolutions in OR/AS is just icing on the cake. *w*

Oh, and the pride of my team, a shiny Charizard! Caught him as a Charmeleon in the Friend Safari.

I think my luckiest shiny was...well, actually, there are two. I was hunting for a shiny Growlithe in the Friend Safari for my niece. I took a break, and decided to go breed some of my Pokemon and hatch the eggs, then trade them on the GTS to help with my living dex. I hatch a few Turtwigs, some Joltiks, and then Growlithes...wait, why does this one look so light? Yup, turns out the third Growlithe egg hatched shiny.

The second, I had caught a Zebstrika, and put it in the Daycare real quick so I could get a Blitzle, again for my living dex. The egg hatches and...what the? Something looks off...sure enough, little red star on the status screen. I only had one egg! I actually had to go put Zebstrika back in the Daycare and hatch another one.

So yeah, I don't know if you can get much luckier than hatching a shiny on the first egg. XD I think that's up there with getting a shiny starter on the first try, or the first Pokemon you encounter being shiny.

MDGHerbert October 14th, 2014 10:21 AM

Earlier today, I was breeding Bulbasaurs to get a 6IV one with Giga Drain. What ended up happening was like an hour ago, I hatched a shiny with Giga Drain. Took it over to the IV Checker in the Kiloude City and it was 5IV; -Atk.

I was like ERMAHGURD NO WAY! Also Akuryou, don't know if you remember me, but I was GigaGamics.

I remember you, haha~

I was hunting for 5-6 hours in my friend's Steel safari, and about 500 REs later I was staring down at a shiny Metang. ^~^

Awesome! Now you can have a two shiny Metagrosses or something when ORAS comes out.

Kenna929 October 15th, 2014 11:10 AM

I haven't seen one shiny yet :/ I really want a shiny eevee though hah

Clemstar October 15th, 2014 3:12 PM

Was just trying to chain fish but reeled in the catch too slow at about the 15th chain due to a distraction. My goodness I just don't have the patience for this stuff :'( Anyway, I think before I start going shiny hunting I'll try to get that Shiny Charm item that you receive from completing the national dex. So wish me luck :/

Cyclone October 15th, 2014 3:25 PM

Been a while since I went looking for Shinies. But today, I'm having a good day. All I'm doing is putting aside Pokémon of every possible Safari species, freshly caught from someone's Safari, and I wound up getting two Shinies. First, I found a Shiny Throh (male with its HA, Mold Breaker), then a few hours later happened upon a Shiny Pancham (female with Iron Fist).

I have acquired a number of other new Shinies through trade and cloning, meanwhile, in the last few months. I think I have about three boxes of them now.

Candy October 16th, 2014 4:06 AM

Semi-active shiny hunter here. I said semi 'cause college tends to distract me now. :v

Anyway, I just recently completed a MM hunt. Shiny Feebas at my 27th egg. Alas, it's a guy. At least it has 4IVs, but why did I breed my Japanese Ditto with an HA Feebas? Cute Charm on Milotic is terrible. :'<

Nicknamed Impulse. I'm gonna continue hatching Feebas, as I haven't got myself the 4/5IV Female Feebas that I was actually breeding for. x'D

Akuryou Inushii October 16th, 2014 10:54 AM

Anyone have any suggestions of what I should hunt next? Hopefully something in the Friend Safari. ^^

Cyclone October 16th, 2014 10:41 PM

Add a Shiny Dedenne to my prior post. A morning find. Held off commenting in case another appeared.

Did some hunts in a Fire-type safari while on the phone with my brother, all the sudden a shiny Charmeleon appears. xD I flipped.

defeu October 18th, 2014 6:15 PM

Got a shiny Shuppet today but eh... My friend wants a shiny Jolteon so I've been chaining Eevees with no luck whatsoever.

Well, I was training up my team of shinies via Horde Battles in Victory Road, and whaddya know, I found a shiny Floatzel. I had already obtained a shiny Floatzel via the GTS, so I have two shiny Floatzel, and they're both Lv. 29. I would give the first one to one of you guys, but my Wi-Fi went down again yesterday.

Aww, that sucks. I'd love a shiny Floatzel though, what would you want for it?

If you need a shiny Eevee I can give you one! It has 5 IVs, Adaptability, and has Wish. (31/31/xx/31/31/31.)

Got one shiny, a shiny 6IV Tyranitar from a giveaway. Been trying to catch some for awhile but no luck! Tried all methods but Masuda, clearing out boxes now for the amount of eggs I might have to plow through. I wonder what my first one will be...

Usually if it's your first time using Masuda, then the egg count is relatively low. I hatched my shiny Fennekin after ~50 eggs. I tried to hatch a shiny Goomy, after 500 eggs I gave up.

In the preceding week, I also found a Shiny Girafagig (Oct. 18), a Shiny Machoke (Oct. 21), and - just today - a Shiny Shuppet.

Six Shinies in the last week and a half.

I should spend more time in the Safaris, but I'll probably do just as well breeding some Eggs. Too bad it takes so long to hatch the things.

I'm a semi-Shiny Hunter. I don't do it actively, but I do like hunting when I feel like it. Look what I found in X.

If you have a keen eye, you'll realise that it's the first and only Floatzel I found. Because of that, I always try to avoid any location with Floatzels in them. I'm not happy about the fact that it's the only one I found, however.

But anyways, two weeks ago I found a Shiny Growlithe after feeling like hunting for Shinies. I also found out I found this Growlithe on the same day I found my Floatzel - October 13th.

At the moment I'm trying to give the Masuda Method a shot. I had decent luck with the Masuda Method in the 5th gen, but in this gen my luck is terrible. I'm trying to get a Shiny Hawlucha with 5IVs, but it takes a long time to find one of these. x_x

What should I hunt next, guys? :3

Pendraflare October 27th, 2014 7:21 AM

I've found three wild shiny Pokémon in X this month alone: a Roggenrola in the Reflection Cave, a Mareep in a horde, and a Durant in a horde too. Unfortunately, the latter had an underwhelming nature (Timid). There are quite a few others i've found, too.

Akuryou Inushii October 28th, 2014 6:07 PM

Just today I got four shinies. xD The first was a Gyarados (coincidentally I had a nosebleed minutes before getting it), a Corsola, a Remoraid, and a full 1/4096 odds shiny Altaria after 2 REs.

Pendraflare October 30th, 2014 8:32 AM

And Tuesday I found two more shiny Pokémon in that day: first was a Hoppip that I got in a horde while EV training, and second was a Graveler in Terminus Cave. Although I already have a shiny Geodude I found in a horde early in the year it was still nice coming across that. As for Hoppip, that evolution line is usually not that worthwhile but I don't hate them so i'll take that.

Cyclone October 30th, 2014 5:18 PM

Hunting Riolu in a new Safari, I came upon and quickly caught a Shiny female Regenerator Mienfoo.

Pochama95 October 31st, 2014 6:56 PM

Since getting the shiny charm horde pokemon have been easier but mm and fs shinies have barely shown up. I've been hunting for a shiny Metang in an imcomplete safari for 3 days now and still no shiny Metang or at least Ferroseed. I thought Friend Safari + Shiny Charm would make hunting unbelievably easy but I prefer MMing without the Shiny Charm, got way more valuable shininies that way.

The chance of finding a Shiny in the Friend Safari in the Friend Safari is unaffected by the Shiny Charm; it is always 1/512.

Hatched my Anorith today :) Took four hours, 157 eggs.

So cute <3 and female!

Firox November 2nd, 2014 11:01 AM

Not an active shiny hunter, I'll probably go shiny hunting 4 to 7 days out of a month.

In the wild/random encounter: Gulpin (no longer have, WT away), Vanillite (accidentally fainted), Beartic (accidentally fainted), Riolu (available for trade).

I have tried using the Radar Chaining but I have not been successful in shiny, keeps breaking around the 10th to 14th chain.
Have not yet tried Fishing Chain.

On Friend Safari: Larvesta (sent via GTS), Minccino (sent via GTS), 4 different Luxio (kept 1, sent 2 via GTS, and one I forgot I had in team is now Luxray, available for trade)

Masuda Method - not for trade, bred for my OR/AS teams: Mienfoo (129 eggs), Patrat (130 eggs), Zangoose (122 eggs).

Akuryou Inushii November 4th, 2014 11:47 AM

Hoping to do some Masuda Method hunts. Looking for a shiny Amaura for use in ORAS~

Sopheria November 4th, 2014 1:58 PM

I just found a shiny Gurdurr last week :D I also found a shiny Floatzel a few months back. Funny thing is, I found them both in the same place--and by the same place, I mean in the same room of Victory Road. Freaky :o I don't actively seek out shinies, but I'm always on the lookout for them ^^

Death November 5th, 2014 12:07 AM

I'm still trying to hatch a shiny solosis. So far, this thing is really fighting me and I've probably hatched over 500 eggs.

Not giving up just yet.

Pochama95 November 5th, 2014 8:07 AM

8 days of hunting shiny Metagross and i get shiny Ferroseed............................. back to square one. I'll also try mming Manetric this time

Edit: 30 minutes later................... shiny ferroseed.

Edit: 2 hrs 30 minutes later my 8 day quest has paid off, I'd love to thank God for my Ultron, Mild natured 31 Hp and SpDef IVs

SlightlyWinged November 5th, 2014 8:12 PM

OH GOD WHY? ;-;

I've been hunting in the Friend Safari for Pokemon with Hidden Abilities, and decided to start with the Kalos Starters. I was able to get Quilladin with a bit of trouble, with a nice shiny Swadloon as a bonus! But then...

I go into a Safari with Frogadier, and the second one I come across? Shiny! I was so excited, I immediately switched out my Audino for Absol. But instead of selecting False Swipe, I accidentally tapped X-Scissor instead!

My Absol being level 100, the Froakie faints instantly. {D:} I just stared at the screen for a minute, I think I was trying to will time to move backwards to before I chose that attack.

tl;dr: I caught a shiny Swadloon, but accidentally killed a shiny Frogadier.

Pendraflare November 6th, 2014 7:43 PM

So today I was breeding stuff for Mega Evolutions that will be obtainable in ORAS, and while I was trying to chain breed for Weedle, I came across a shiny when I used my x/31/31/x/31/x and x/31/31x/31/31 duo (which wasn't the final step I was planning on). It had 31 Attack and Sp Def, wasn't expecting anything too great and I didn't MM it either, but I guess I won't say no to it. It was the first shiny i've hatched without an MM.

And that my friends, is exactly why I do not attack Shiny Pokemon, just hurl Pokeballs like there's no tomorrow! I have yet to fail to capture a Shiny.

Death November 11th, 2014 7:34 AM

Hatched my shiny solosis after something over 500-700 eggs, I stopped counting.

Solosis | F | Quiet + Magic Coat
IVs: 31/13/31/31/15/0

I'm tempted to try again due to that sp. def, but that's probably after I MM Psyduck and Buneary. Hrng.

Z25 November 11th, 2014 9:16 AM

Right now i am bredding treeckos, only hatched 30 so far since i got them yesterday. Then i will be hunting mudkip afterwards through breeding for the remakes.

Player805 November 11th, 2014 9:42 AM

I recently got a shiny staryu from chain fishing along with a shiny clauncher put the both on gts and got myself a darkrai and a thundurus for them :-)
