~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.

Never had any luck with any shinies up until 5 days ago, found a random shiny scraggy in a horde :). And then the next day found a shiny Teddiursa while catching dittos in a safari. Next day.. found another shiny Teddiursa...next day... found a shiny Eevee! Never thought I'd have such luck in my life... XD

mangamusicfan April 21st, 2014 2:23 AM

I have found plenty of them.
I always try to Hatch them

Akuryou Inushii April 21st, 2014 6:20 AM

I'm glad you all work hard to find your shinies! Someone I know gets them from trades. Only.

Yes, a rock type. Sorry that I don't have the safari you're looking for... Although I have a lot of friends with Pyroar in their safari, so I'm sure it's not all that hard to find :3

But I'd love to have your safari, (I reeeaally like shiny Lapras) so please may I add you on X? :)

Sure, it's in my signature~

I found a shiny Octillery in the safari. I posted a picture on Facebook and that's how me and my boyfriend started talking.

Akuryou Inushii April 21st, 2014 8:28 AM

Recently started hunting for shiny Swirlix! So excited to find one. ^~^

Would chaining it be best, or would you recommend Friend Safari?

rodriigm April 21st, 2014 8:45 AM

I caught 2 Relicants in the weekend (fishing chain FTW).

AZ Jr April 21st, 2014 8:55 AM

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.)

Elements1 April 21st, 2014 10:34 AM

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

I'm willing to trade a shiny for any shiny Skrelp someone can catch! I do have a shiny event Genesect. ^~^

Me too! xD Derpy little Relicanths.

Dragneil April 21st, 2014 5:31 PM

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

Prosperos April 21st, 2014 11:15 PM

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 :>)

Final Gambit. One did that to me too >.> Luckily I found another and Quick Ball'd that sucker.

Akuryou Inushii April 22nd, 2014 3:02 AM

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.

Ha that's the one, I was recording it too and wondered what it was because I had never seen the move before and before I knew what was happening my pokemon had fainted and so had the Basculin xD

Akuryou Inushii April 22nd, 2014 5:30 AM

Giving away a shiny Clefairy in my other thread!

GigaGamics April 22nd, 2014 6:37 PM

The other day, I had found a Shiny Shelmet off of the Route 2O(if I am not mistaken, the one before Snowbelle City).

Amazing! That's certainly good luck. ^~^

GigaGamics April 22nd, 2014 6:49 PM

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

I think Pokemon Y has higher chances of Pokemon being shiny. A lot of my friends have Y, and they find shinies often. :o

GigaGamics April 22nd, 2014 6:56 PM

You think so? I can't really tell the difference.

Akuryou Inushii April 22nd, 2014 7:18 PM

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.
