What's the luckiest you've been with shiny hunting?
 
I haven't really been as lucky, but two of the times where I lucked out were when I hatched a shiny Charmander at around 100 eggs and when I found a shiny Zigzagoon via Dexnav after a chain of only 3. This is all without the shiny charm.

Hikamaru May 28th, 2016 8:38 PM

I can understand you and while I'm not a breeder I have been unlucky with shinies in this game. The only one I obtained was a Zigzagoon from a random wild encounter.

Dracowyn May 28th, 2016 11:20 PM

Hatching a shiny Pidgey after only 36 eggs (and it was my first succesfull Masuda Method attempt).
Finding a random shiny Magnemite
And getting a shiny Lugia after only 3 days of soft resetting.

So yeah, so far I've been kinda lucky during this game. Shiny Regice also didn't take that much time but more than Lugia.

No luck with Regirock yet though but I'm trying t get the entire set.

-shiny wailmer on 4th chain fish
-shiny 5% gyarados on 23rd chain fish
-shiny magikarp on the 28th chain fish (the chain directly after the gyarados)
first and only time i've got two shiny's in one day :D

I actually haven't run into a shiny in ORAS so far, nor X&Y. I feel like I could run into a wild encounter every two minutes for an entire game sometimes, and never once find a shiny.

Maybe I should try chain fishing when I start up ORAS next time, and see if I can find one that way.

Caite-chan May 30th, 2016 4:49 PM

I've been rather lucky. I get quite a few of them by Hordes or Poke Nav. Other than that I get most of mine through Wonder Trade.

EeveeGamer101 June 1st, 2016 2:12 PM

Chain fishing... got shiny tentacool... yay...


Well I'm still looking foe maw shiny eevee <3

The Evil Mewtwo June 1st, 2016 8:31 PM

I found a Shiny Onix with 3 stats having 31iv, relaxed nature and it's hidden ability. By then I evolved it into Steelix.

IcyEvee June 3rd, 2016 6:40 AM

Well luckiest shiny in one day was Hunting with DexNav in OR
Getting 2 Eevee and 1 Ralts but took about 2 hours to get one
Next day i got another shiny eevee that i plan to trade soo if anyone wants it its still up for grabs :)

AliceBlaze June 3rd, 2016 6:53 AM

The luckiest I've been in Omega Ruby was when I found a shiny Gloom with the DexNav without even trying.

Kikaito plush June 4th, 2016 1:44 AM

I got a shiny Wurmple after 10 chains on the dexnav

FindingXMemo June 29th, 2016 6:27 PM

I wasn't exactly hunting for shiny pokemon, but I was in the safari zone looking for light balls (I completely forgot about the DexNav) and I found a Shiny Psyduck. Later on that day, I was fishing for heart scales and I found a shiny Luvdisc

It was probably the luckiest day in my entire life

ST2111 June 30th, 2016 9:18 PM

Shiny Teddiursa and Bulbasaur on the first egg.

MadHatter62 July 1st, 2016 10:30 AM

The first time I used Wonder Trade I got a shiny Luvdisc

ars25 July 1st, 2016 6:44 PM

my luckiest would be my shiny poochyena that i got while attempting to dexnav a zorua. my other one would be my shiny zekrom that i got after half a day of sring

TwilightBlade July 1st, 2016 7:05 PM

Around December 2014, after 200 soft resets I captured a shiny Zekrom. I then set my mind to getting one of my favorite shiny legendaries of all time, but it took a while. In July 2015, I finally found my shiny Cresselia after 1130 soft resets. <3

Lapis July 1st, 2016 7:34 PM

The luckiest I have been with shiny hunting is when I wasn't actually trying to shiny hunt.

I hatched a shiny Cranidos on egg one because I needed one for PokeDex purposes.

Flower July 1st, 2016 10:09 PM

Haven't actually gotten any shinies in ORAS that I know of, haven't done much breeding or REing in the game at all lol. Up until recently when I sold my version of X I had done all of my hunting there.

I think I'll be getting some shinies later on though, currently prepping for Sun & Moon gradually by breeding. yey.

MariaB July 2nd, 2016 1:44 AM

My luckiest was a shiny Shuppet and Meditite on the same day within a couple of hours!
I was actually hunting for a shiny Vulpix, but that thing just does not want to show up!
I ended up really loving the Meditite and as it was male I decided to evolve it. Blue Medicham looks amazing (as well as Mega Medicham)!

Alex Taylor July 2nd, 2016 3:14 AM

I was Dexnav hunting for a shiny Duskull, and just a few minutes after catching one, as soon as my max repel wore off, I got a horde encounter with a shiny Shuppet in it.

Khrysamere July 2nd, 2016 10:01 AM

Wouldn't exactly call this lucky, but While EV training my Pokemon I've seen and caught 2 Shiny Whismur, I don't even have the shiny charm yet.

buttlet32 July 2nd, 2016 11:27 AM

I'm going to state both my luckiest and unluckiest shiny encounters.

Since I've never ran into a shiny in my game, I'll mention the ones from Heart Gold.

Luckiest: While playing PKMN Heart Gold I found a shiny Geodude near the beginning of the game. A few routes after that I found another shiny, but I don't remember what that one was.

Unluckiest: I must have had a super high TSV, because I found a Shiny Slowbro while catching PKMN for my Pokedex. What's unlucky about this you may ask? It was in the Safari Zone. I threw a Safari Ball and it didn't even shake once. It ran next turn.

Catching the Red Gyrados in the Lake of Rage

NoMoreStars July 3rd, 2016 2:52 PM

I've had both crazy good luck and crazy bad luck on Alpha Sapphire. I found a shiny Kyurem with only 9 SR's, and found a shiny Trapinch with the DexNav with only maybe 13 encounters or something like that.

MadHatter62 July 4th, 2016 12:32 PM

I managed to stumble across a shiny Ralts with Telepathy the other day.
