But, I will still help you out...

Thank you very much, and it is certainly a source of great frustration.

They're giving away a shiny kanto starter June 28th at the Ocala Comic Con in Ocala, FL to whoever can defeat the Elite 4 they put together. There's also a big tournament where youc an win a 3dsxl and a gift certificate to gamestop.

I'm nowhere near Florida. Lol. I would sweep them with my level 99 Shiny Magikarp. =P

I randomly came across a shiny drifloon. It's my first shiny!

So, I got my Shiny Charm last night. Today, I started hunting the Friend Safaris for Pokemon to IV breed. Now, I have never been lucky with finding shinies before, except for chain fishing, which is pretty easy.
I got two shinies in FS in under 30 minutes and I hatched a shiny Mankey (while trying to pass down Seismic Toss to another Pokemon). So, that's three shinies in under two hours. Either I got lucky today, or that Shiny Charm works :D

Ugh, I reached a chain of 39 for Litleo and it broke. I swear, the patch was perfect. I actually kept resetting a good few times to find a perfect patch, too. Gonna take a break to IV breed. I'll try again tomorrow.

Just found a shiny Caterpie on my first Y playthrough :)

Mason69 May 19th, 2014 8:13 AM

Hatched a shiny espurr in 15 minutes the first time I tried to breed for shinies in Y, ever since then I started breeding for a shiny mareep and never got another one :(

rofl Two weeks ago I started playing my newly bought Pokemon Y game (I also have X but already completed everything in the game and already have almost 60 shinies in there through FS, breeding MM and chain fishing).

I was two hours in the game (just started) and when training I found (and caught) a Gentle shiny (male) Bidoof on Route 22 xD But, still a shiny nonetheless :3
This is my first random shiny in the X and Y games without the Shiny Charm or chaining or anything ;) quite funny it's a Bidoof imo (luckily I didn't have a shny Bidoof on my X game).

Nice! I love hearing success stories!

I had: Skarmory, Froakie, Shiftry, Basculin, and clawitzer, and lost them all in a save file corruption. T_T

She_Delphox May 24th, 2014 7:00 AM

:D

I'm so happy, just now I caught a wild Shiny Tauros at Route 12, Lonely nature which suits him great imo :D

This is my second random encounter Shiny (and my 2nd shiny) in my Pokemon Y game :D So far I obtained in this game:
- Shiny Bidoof at Route 22
- Shiny Tauros at Route 12

I haven't obtained any items like Oval Charm, Shiny Charm or Pokeradar yet (I do got all of those items in my X game, and I have many more shinies in my X game). I just got into this game, I obtained my third badge ^_^ Will continue to train, I wasn't expecting this ofcourse, I was so glad I just had enough Pokeballs with me, since Tauros can be hard to catch :3 My Shiny Tauros also has Anger Point, which raises his Attack and Rest as a move so I tried to catch him as soon as possible when he used Rest ;) It's in a Premier Ball now!

Even with over 60+ shinies (all obtained myself in a legit way ofcourse) and now 2 in my Y game, my mouth still drops when I encounter one :3 :D

Keep up the hunting everyone! :D

Mine does too, it's just so rewarding hearing that sparkle. ^^~

If I just could say this to you :), no one has to be 'good' or 'bad' at shiny hunting, it is all a matter of luck to be honest... Therefore, some people have more luck than others and I know that this can be frustrating...

The only tip I can give you is to be patient at all times and be always prepared :) You never know when a random shiny appears, or you could try to keep on breeding using Masuda Method to start with :) Remember, patience is key and don't let the game beat you! Your patience will be rewarded with a shiny and there isn't anything better then that after the hard work you put into it :D

Akuryou Inushii May 27th, 2014 11:05 AM

Masuda Methoding for another shiny Amaura~ So excited to be on my first batch of eggs. ^^~

Skystrike May 28th, 2014 5:43 AM

Just yesterday, I found a random shiny Caterpie, without hunting for it.

I do plan to do an Eevee project, to get all shiny Eeveelutions.

WishCookie May 28th, 2014 10:07 AM

I just bred a shiny freakin' Vulpix! :D

Tyheamma May 28th, 2014 12:27 PM

Gave up today breeding for a shiny Minccino at about 200 eggs. ): I'm so impatient.

Before that I hatched over 400 eggs for a shiny Eevee.

The only shiny I've ever had is a shiny Machoke in diamond, I lost my copy of that game though. :/

Akuryou Inushii May 29th, 2014 6:56 PM

Currently breeding Amaura.

Just gottmy Shiny Charm! =3

Tyheamma May 30th, 2014 8:27 AM

So I just HAVE to come on here and rant. I've been chaining for four hours straight! I don't think I've ever played a game for so long without a break, I have serious square eyes right now.

I managed a chain of 36 Snubbul when a Golett broke it. But I swear to high heaven the piece of grass was exactly the same as the last 36 I stepped in! I'm sure it's just trolling me. I've had numerous other successful chains, and the music has changed and made a different noise twice, which I assume was a shiny, but I couldn't find the correct piece of grass because like, seven started shaking at they were all pretty much the same. *sigh*

At least it's more interested than hatching eggs for shinies... I have up after 1000 shinies and no luck.

I just want a stinkin' shiny I can say I've caught/bred myself lol. Any advice? This is really starting to take the peas. ):

While I can't do much in person, I suggest being really picky about grass patches. It got me a Shiny Furfrou. ^^ Tell me how this works for you!

I thought I was being cautious, obviously not enough. I think I just rush a little after I chain about 20... not worth starting from the beginning though I guess! Thanks for the advice and congrats on the Furfrou. C:

Thank you. ^^ I got a shiny hawlucha last night on a measly chain of 12! Looks like taking my time a bit more did pay off. :P
