Not sure... something like 1 in 8000?

I think there's a thread where a guy soft-reset'd 7000 some odd times before he got his shiny Fennekin.

I'm feeling lucky. I will get my shiny Froakie.

The shiny rate was upped to 8 in 65536 (roughly 1 in 8100) to 16 in 65536 (roughly 1 in 4000) but it doesn't help all that much. It's still horribly low, so you're gonna be at this a while.

Nah December 6th, 2014 9:53 AM

Yeah, Faust Echos, I'm just stickin' your thread into this one, which is basically one of our talk about shinies in X/Y threads.

Dreg December 13th, 2014 8:29 AM

Somehow, after I bashed the Pokeradar that much compared to the mechanics of D/P/Pt, I have somehow managed to get a shiny out of it. A Flabébé.... the rarest one, which is White.

Pochama95 January 3rd, 2015 10:38 PM

49 eggs out of 86 and FalcnAmerica is born!

EeveeArmy January 4th, 2015 7:58 PM

The only wild Pokémon I've caught....a few months ago while in a Normal safari, hunting for a shiny Eevee, after a few hours I get.....a Dunsparce -_- then a few days ago while in the same safari, looking for Eevee to breed....another Dunsparce! But hey a shiny is a shiny right?

ilias_ January 5th, 2015 11:58 AM

I just ran away from a shiny Cubchoo because I was not paying attention to the screen :( Saw it after I hit 'Run'. It sucks!! Now I must find one! lol

Lady Viola January 5th, 2015 10:51 PM

I was using the TGS for the first time. I put up a regular silvion asking for an umbreon because I didn't know how to get one, when I checked a couple hours later, I had a level 100 shiny umbreon. xD In a mystery trade like a week later, I got a shiny buneary (which I'm trying to figure out how to evolve) and now I'm into shinies!

Sheep January 24th, 2015 7:50 AM

I was poking around a friend safari some days ago looking for a Skill Link Minccino... and instead got a cute pink Dunsparce after maybe five encounters? omg I love it even if its ability and nature are bad. ;c;

clbgolden January 24th, 2015 3:06 PM

I've been chain fishing for a shiny for a while. So far, none unfortunately.

New to pokemon? If so, Buneary evolves through friendship, the sooth bell, ribbons and massages help boost that. Anyway, I hunt a lot but recent'y have taken a break to play other games.

Venitardus January 24th, 2015 5:18 PM

i hatched a shiny nidoran female, shiny mankey and shiny beldum all after 6 eggs of breeding. You can say I was a happy camper that day.

GengarsTeeth January 27th, 2015 6:05 PM

Just got my first shiny through breeding. was trying to get a female dream ball lucario with justified. I missed it hatching tho which sucks as it was the first shiny I've hatched before. Ability was prankster and it's male but h'es still shiny and in a dream ball too. I haven' t done IV testing yet but he should be good as his parents were pedigree.

Pochama95 February 2nd, 2015 1:50 PM

I'm not even hunting anymore I'm just letting the shinies come so they're pretty much acidentals. Recently I've caught a random shiny flabebe, mm'd FalcnAmerica (Braviary) and Green Goblin

Nah February 21st, 2015 9:02 AM

lol I just hatched a shiny Shellder while doing a breeding request. Wasn't even trying for a shiny, don't even have the Shiny Charm.

Ah but it has Shell Armor and not Skill Link. Oh well, another one for my collection.

RNG, u so strange......

Pendraflare February 21st, 2015 3:09 PM

I myself haven't found any shinies in Gen VI since 2015 started, but there have been some that catch my eye and I might go for them some time in ORAS once I have the Shiny Charm there. But I haven't been much into hunting them down lately.

I'm so depressed (shiny fail)

So today I was just re-playing through pokemon X with a frokie that I bred and I ran into this on my first encounter of the day:

http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/317/3/e/shiny_gulpin_global_link_art_by_trainerparshen-d6u3ihb.png

Unfortunately my only pokemon was a lv 9 frokie and it was a hoard battle soooo they pounded me to death.... ;-;

Attachment 74486

Like if you cry every time.

Zaheer March 17th, 2015 4:50 AM

Oh X/Y how I love thee. Increased odds and an entire generation of shinies with easily noticeable shiny forms? Yes please!

First was a random Shiny Mareep in a horde.
Then what's that? Oh my! A shiny Spiritomb, Illumise, Aipom, and Ditto? Oh my.
Afterwards a shiny Spinda decided to grace me.
I also have a Shiny Seadra, Clauncher, Magikarp, and Quilfish. All caught at chains less than 5.

Caught this beauty yesterday afternoon, my first ever Shiny pokemon on Pokemon X, couldn't hold my excitement.

Kitrigar April 18th, 2015 1:44 PM

I actually have a few box fulls of shinies from hordes, safaris, breeding and chain fishing~
My most recent is a shiny Duskull I hatched using the Masuda method.

Decided to take a break from trying to hatch a shiny Houndour today. Figured I'd try for Mareep. Second egg in and this little lady popped out.

Guess it's back to Houndours for a while. :P


Black-Tigress May 8th, 2015 2:44 PM

Oooo, a shiny thread..yes!

I LOVE catching shinies..
Well..sometimes..
..Sometimes it's just too time consuming and the pokeradar wants to act like a butthole an idiot most of the time..

But sure, I'll talk about shinies now..Ever since I got my first shiny ever within 10 mins, I became addicted to it. It's like the game Never ends to me personally, unless I were to catch every single shiny out there. The fact that the pokemon is a different color, sparkles a bit, and is very rare makes me REALLY like it...I'm literally addicted to it..

Charmeleon (now Charizard w/ Charizardite X) is my most prized shiny..And my very first one :3
And about an hour ago, I was shiny hunting for Seviper in a Friend Safari!
....ended up getting shiny Garbodor instead.....

Anywho, I'm REALLY interested in getting a friend safari with Onix in it..Or Klang..or Hawlucha..If you have one with any of those in it, please let me know! My friend safari is grass with some pretty cool pokemon in it..in my opinion..

Dang..My shortest chain for a golden Magikarp was 12 this morning..I thought that was impressive, but after reading this - less than 5 is awesome..
I failed 190 chains when looking for a shiny Relicanth..Then when I tried again, one appeared after 3. ..Like, does that actually Count as 3 or 193..? It feels like 193 to be honest, lol!
