Well, I was considering starting a shiny collection. But I figured I'd wait until I get the Shiny Charm until I truely begin my search. However, I just managed to get a shiny Larvesta using the Masuda Method :D so pleased!

I made a discovery today.
I decided to start a Meowth breeding project, so I took a baby Meowth and imported it into Kalos after cloning it (I hope I cloned it...). I leveled it up, let it evolve, and used it to do some breeding, keeping an eye out for the pink tail and darker fur for a Shiny. What I did not notice: the very Meowth I evolved from Unova, and the exact same one I used to breed two 5IV Meowth this morning, is that very Shiny. It's now a Lv.61 parent to 20 Meowth, around half of whom have been sent over WT (with more to come). And I didn't even notice I had a Shiny right under my nose. |
I spent a good 2 weeks looking for a shiny honedge using the Matsuda method, because i figured it wouldn't be as hard as it was. After I finally managed to get it, with a good 11 boxes full of honedge, I tried to get a shiny Gallade, which was worse because i got 2 shiny ralts that were both female before finally getting a male.

Spent some more time in the Normal-type Teddiursa/Audino/Chansey Safari. I finally encountered a Shiny Chansey at about 2:53 PM EDT. I panicked because I had been leveling up some Pokémon for the Dex and didn't have any good movesets available. The Quick Ball failed to do the job.
Wrought with worry and pondering for a couple of minutes, I finally took the five-IV Lv.37 Meowth I was leveling (lowest available level at the time) and sent it out to use Pay Day. Thanks to a Minimize, it took three attempts, and drained more than half the HP. A Take Down or three from Chansey lowered it slightly more via recoil (5 HP each time) while I chucked Pokéballs in failure, then it used Soft-Boiled and went back into the green. Feeling almost sick, I used Pay Day again and sent it down into the red. I knew if another Soft-Boiled was used it would be too strong to capture, and almost impossible to hit again without making it faint, meaning I'd have to let it heal fully before trying again. Literally on the edge of my seat, my next Pokéball failed, and again it was using Minimize and Take Down. The following Pokéball shook thrice and clicked, and the trifecta was complete. Got every Shiny from that Safari now. I'll still train there for the XP at times, but I can explore Shinies from other Safaris now. |

I ran into a shiny Amoongus by accident a few months ago.
Then I started chaining for a shiny Magikarp. Got one on the bus on my way to school, and immediately traded it to my friend for a shiny Ursaring. The next day, I got another one during lunch, and then traded it to my other friend for a shiny Honedge, which is now an Aegislash (WORTH IT!) About a month after that, I traded my Zekrom for a perfect IV shiny Serperior (also worth it) seems legit, too)). It's funny, because I then traded my other Serperior for another Zekrom, which I then traded for a shiny Croagunk. I'm not a huge fan of Croagunk though, so I'm trying to trade that, too (SHINY LAPRAS PLEASE). I'm currently using the Masuda method for a shiny Zorua. Trying to get at least 5 eggs hatched per day; I'll get it eventually. |
I've started working on my Shiny Charm progress. First step: the Kalos Dex. However, I just imported 30 babies recently, and am first working on Steel Wing Vullaby. I have a 5IV in each species, so just gotta train them and then breed. This is actually fun. :)
Also popped a batch of Slowpoke Eggs for an evolution trade, there and back. So I plan to have a 5IV Lv.1 Slowking. I'm not worrying too much about Masuda Method until I get the extra ticks from the Shiny Charm. Then I'm going breeding. Until then, I'm doing a TON of Wonder Trading via my breeding rejects and storing whole groups of foreign Pokémon (got eight from France in one box). I hope to eventually use them with some 5IV specimen towards getting a decent-IV Shiny. |

Oh, and I think we've already registered each other's friend codes. |
I'm trying to MM a shiny Electrike, Kalos-caught is preferred. I'm also planning on trying to chain Fletchling, and Scatterbug for shinies.

I have yet to find a shiny in pokemon X and Y, but I have gone to the extent of breeding one. I breed a shiny Eevee that then became my beautiful Espeon (I think a bright green Espeon is cool ;P ) but I have never tried to find a shiny in the wild... so, I ask, any tips?

Chain fishing has done wonders for me as I have caught a shiny Lanturn, Bascullin, Corsola (which is aptly named Coral Blue #5), a Magikarp which is now a Gyarados, and a Poliwag. I have one shiny from Masuda Method: Greninja. Finally, I have two others I got in a trade: Drilbur and Dragalge.
I've been lucky this generation, as I have been playing Pokemon for ten plus years now and I just got my first shiny in January of 2014 (Lanturn). |
Got to a chain of 38 for Fletchling....Bunnelby broke the chain. I was stunned for a while, because I was trying to figure out if I made a mistake and mistook a medium shake for a violent shake. (I had been chaining for 3 hours and eventually they all start to look like the same shake to me XD)
While I was on the verge of almost crying, the battle cam zoomed in on Bunnelby's face, something like this: http://tinyurl.com/os7hhsp I felt like he was taunting me, haha. I usually take breaks while chaining to rest my eyes, but it was getting pretty late and decided I wanted that shiny Fletchling before I go to bed. I blame myself...not poor Bunnelby. He is innocent....right? |

Probably something common these days but i was hunting for a Perfect Ditto in the Safari last night and after 30 or so encounters i found a Shiny Ditto! Was only 2 IV's but can i really ask for more :P?
Also hatched a shiny Happiny yesterday as well! Quite pleased with it all! |
Yesterday I spent about two hours in the friend safari searching for a shiny helioptile, ended up getting a shiny galvantula instead! Still im really pleased with as it could be a good addition to my team although i am yet to check its IV's
|
I just caught a shiny Gothorita! I almost killed it omg I was so nervous. This is my 5th shiny Pokemon in X. :) I'm playing Pokemon for like 10 years and this is the first time I'm getting so many shiny Pokemon! I feel so lucky ^^
Edit: I just caught a shiny Quagsire in the Friend Safari! It's the first shiny I get from the safari! ^^ omg! |
So.
I wasn't really hunting, per se. However, I got a surprise today. I started breeding Eevee in an attempt to get a female from one of the Anticipation males I keep getting via WT. (BTW, I am finding that EVERY Eevee on Wonder Trade is male...what gives? Quit trading them, they're WAY TOO COMMON!) I bred 18 Eggs. I kept the last five that I received. The first Egg that popped, subject #15, was a Mild-natured Shiny Eevee. And it acquired the Hidden Ability Anticipation! FYI, I don't have the Shiny Charm yet. The Masuda Method was active, however, as it was my foreign Shiny Ditto that was the partner. |

Eventually I decided to quit Pokeradar and do a Masuda Method for a shiny Fletchling instead, I got it on my 62th Egg or so! :3 I was really happy ofcourse, it's now a shiny Lv:71 Talonflame (he is the best)! I do hope you will manage to get the shiny Fletchling too!! Good Luck and hang in there! :D |
I'm so terrible at finding shinies with the radar, but I have had a lot of luck with hours of encounters at the friend safari.
Recently I have found two Braixens, a Noibat, a Camerupt, and a Sigilyph within the past week or so. Gave one of the Braixens and the Noibat to my sister because they were her most wanted shinies, but I kept the rest. I don't have the shiny charm yet but so far I have ended up with a lot of my favorites. |
I have so many shiny Amauras. x.x If you want one, let me know your Trainer ID and Friend Code if I haven't already added you. ^^~
