Any shinies yet?
On my quest to catch a pichu in the beginning of the game that first pichu was so rare that I actually found a shiny pikipek before I found one pichu lol. Anyone else find a shiny yet.
|
im trying to get myself a shiny rowlet.
currently on hour 3 of soft resetting... |

haven't really gone for shinies yet but probs after i finish the game i will haha
|
just received my first wonder trade shiny (mimikyuu lvl 42). Does anyone know how I can check if it's hacked or legit?
|
I received a hacked shiny litten over wonder trade. I've kept it for breeding later on.
|

|
I MM'd for a shiny Bounsweet and just got mine on my 7th egg hatch! I named her La'hiku, short for "Lucky Seven" in Hawaiian. (✿◠‿◠)
|
I know someone who has 7 Shinies from Sun and moon.
He has a 151 hour stream going right now but here is a guide he has up for it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HcQ9F2zPQI&t=3s I saw him grab 4 of those shinies yesterday within like 50 encounters. |
Still haven't gotten a shiny here yet. May post later if I do find one.
|
No shinies here yet. I don't give it a lot of attention during the actual game. Now that I'm in post game I may try.
|
I found a shiny Diglett and ran without thinking about it. I wish i would have caught it. At least it wasnt a shiny that i really liked. xD
|
As of posting this, I just got my first ever 7th Gen shiny. It was a Yungoos on Route 2!
|
None as of yet. I have a feeling it will be a good while before I encounter my first legit shiny. I know the rate is something like 1 in 4,000 but eh, I'm not really seeking them out just yet anyways.

One of my friends has also bred like 5 shinies already. Sandygast, all 3 starters, Dhelmise, etc. It seems to be higher this generation? |
A good friend of mine caught a Shiny Cutiefly under 100 times. Shiny chaining is a lot easier this generation compared to the previous.

I would really love a shiny Rockruff. It sounds like shinies are somewhat common?

I haven't encountered any shiny Pokemon yet, though. |

|
Trying to get a Bagon/Salamence on route 3 I got a Shiny Sassy Cutiefly just now :D
|
The other day I was looking for Mimikyu. Found a shiny Golbat before I found a Mimikyu. Still, random encounter is nice.
Also I swear if I get a shiny Fearow I will be annoyed. |
I just caught a shiny Alolan Meowth. It sure looks dark!
|
I've just caught a shiny Araquanid right in the middle of having a doubt on choosing Pkm for my team. Since her base Speed is 42 and having the Sassy nature, I'm gonna have Trick Room team, I guess.

I feel encountering shinies is way to easy in this gen...
I hunted and already found 3 (Being rockruff, formantis, and a freakin male soladin DAMNIT!) in under 24 hours (No shiny charm)... I also feel that SOS chaining is way to easy to execute unlike chain fishing or pokeradar chaining which needed your full attention. Also found a random shiny goldeen while fishing for a Wishywashy |
I got a shiny Growlithe! Too bad it has justified :/
|
Day six of SRing for that rowlet. it would be dumb to give up now so...
|
Pretty sure I ran into a shiny Mimikyu during the ghost trial, because it looked more grey than usual.. except I didn't see the sparkles and I couldn't catch it anyways.. RIP Mimikyu.
|
Shiny Rockruff(Lycanroc Midnight now) after like 70 call, my only one so far! Starting a hunt for eevee right now. :>
|
Got a random Shiny Golduck at Poni Gauntlet. Pretty surprising, and scared as I didn't have my catching team on hand. Luckily only 1 Ultra Ball was needed.
|

I'm going to try for a Shiny Rockruff (I want a Shiny Midday Lycanroc) later today. |
I was just looking for the fire Oricorio, when, suddenly, a shiny Petilil appeared!
How classic! The randomly encountered shiny. I threw a Pokeball at it, and what do you know? It was the single-shake capture. That was some great luck! |
First time I used a fishing rod I found a shiny magikarp.

Second day of release I caught a shiny Makuhita (called it Lil' Maku and it evolved to Hariyama) and two days later, I got a shiny Bounsweet (nicknamed Jolyne)! It's beautiful fully evolved now : |
Just found a shiny Fomantis after 15:55 of play time. Was just grind training for the next trial and almost missed seeing it.
|
I was walking into the Abandoned Supermarket after the trial to see if I could find a mimikyu. I got 3 steps in the door, and a shiny Haunter appeared. I'm wildly excited for the pure white Mega Gengar.
|
Currently searching for shiny mimikyu...
It's been 5 days of chaining so far. The one time I stopped to continue the story I find a shiny Murkrow. I felt pretty good, but like... I want a mimikyu... |
got a shiny rowlet the second try (my console shut down before saving so i had to start all over again)
i felt like the luckiest person in the world |
128 eggs in doing the Mastuda Method... still no shiny Rowlet. :c
|
I found a shiny Gastly in the cemetery towards the beginning. Honestly wasn't expecting to encounter a shiny this fast.
https://scontent-ort2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/15171334_10154135986751446_1615539064326679005_n.jpg?oh=66a42a687638403d24c584b65131cfdd&oe=58C6BACF |
It seems my Gen 6 luck has deserted me. Not one Shiny yet in about 30 hours playtime.
I think I will go for the Shiny Charm before I start call chaining. I am doing a GTS trading spree to get tricky entries like Electivire. I really want a Shiny Bounsweet though and may try for one once I finish the game. Edit - Tried for a Shiny Bounsweet and caught it after a call chain. She is now a Shiny Tsareena.v:) |
Whilst looking for a Black Sludge for my Alolan Muk I found a Shiny Alolan Grimer in the first town by SOS chaining.
Shiny Alolan Grimer is purple...just like regular Kanto Grimer. :0 I must admit however Alolan Muk looks better in purple than green and onto my team it goes. :) Random note - If you change a Pokemon's pokedex image to its shiny form if you've seen caught it it's profile image changes too to match it's shiny colours. A nice touch. :) |
I haven't run into a shiny myself, but I did get two from Wonder Trade. A (most likely) hacked Litten since it's level 5, Adamant and has all 31 IVs. I also got an Oricorio and I just LOVE it's shiny, so I'm super happy! I was hunting for a shiny Pikipek in my Moon save for a while with no luck.. So I gave up and reseted my game.
|
I caught a shiny Fomantis trying to chain for a Castform in Lush Jungle.
|
Just hatched a 4 IV Shiny Love Ball Vulpix with Egg Moves and Snow Warning. Disappointment doesn't even begin to describe it...if it was five IV's I'd be buzzing and would use it over my Moon Ball variant...
At least it's GTS able? Might as well get the shiny charm and try again lol It's a very subtle change and I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't paid attention to the red star. This will improve my resolve. I will get another Shiny Vulpix and it will be 5IV's. |
Shiny Pelliper and granbull are the shiny I got and probrably will never used both since I don't like granbull and pelliper to begin with..oh well! haha
|
I spent a few days s.o.s'ing and have so far found 2 shiny rockruff and a cubone. I'm thinking of trying for a turtonater next. And this is without the shiny charm, I hope my luck keeps up when I get it.
|
I have never once in my life gone shiny hunting in a Pokemon game. Which is probably why my first ever legit, nonscripted shiny was a Zubat I caught on Sun. She's now a Crobat named Batgirl and will never leave my party because Crobat is beast.
|
Warning: Amounted insanity present in the following story:
So, on a fluke, I ended up chaining a shiny Crabrawler and catching it. While I was happy to get it, I was saddened by the fact that it's a female (I'm very picky with my Pokémon's genders). So last night, at 11:30 PM, my Mimikyu and I went hunting for berries, and I encountered a Crabrawler SOS battle in the Secluded Shore. Fourteen agonizing, non-stop hours later into the same battle, I find another shiny Crabrawler.... female. My Mimikyu's attack EVs were completely filled. And every single one of those Crabrawler knew Bubble Beam; they were like angry Vegetas shooting out tons of projectiles at my Mimikyu until she was developed in an explosion of dust and light. And when those Vegeta crabs finally gave up... Mimikyu jumped out in a surprise and OHKOed every single one of them. She was maxed out in Bulk Ups. And she knows Leech Life. I nearly ran out of Leppa Berries. I had five other weak Pokémon in my party for the purpose of completing the dex... and every single one of them evolved once the battle was over! So now I have two female Crabrawler shinies in my box, one with it's Hidden Ability. I missed so many Kyurem battles in Shuffle. It was 1:30-ish PM when it ended. I fell asleep... hard. |
Update: I now have my MM Shiny Tsareena, along with two completely random encounters; Skarmory and Bagon.
|
I now have my 3rd Gen 7 Shiny - A Rockruff. She appeared in about 180 SOS calls. She has her hidden ability Steadfast.
She has four perfect IVS and is now a shiny Blue Lycanroc. :) |
Got two new shiny today, a caterpie ( with the S.O.S method, even though i was just training hp EV for my pikipek) and an alola Raticate, which was random appear when I wanted to level up some pokemon! :)
|
During my playthrough of the story, I found two shiny Pokemon, both in one day and both from dumb luck! One was a shiny Magnemite which was neat but I already have some of those (back from 4th gen Pokeradar), and one a shiny Alolan Meowth, which joined my extended team. :B
|
I don't have any shiny Pokemons yet but I'm not disappointed yet. I'm used to normal coloured Pokemons.

Caught a shiny mudbray while looking for an island scan rhyhorn..decided to break out the beast balls for the rare occasion ;)
|
Caught a shiny sandile on my first visit to the desert. Caught a shiny Smeargle while i was trying to evolve my eevee into a Sylveon. And as well i caught a shiny Bewear while i was trying to chain for Unnerve Bewear.
|
My first encounter in diglett cave just as i entered was a shiny zubat.
Just farmed a shiny cutiefly aswell. |
I got a shiny Vikivolt through Wonder Trade.
|
I now have 5 Gen 7 Shines after chaining for a Shiny Pikipek after about 110 encounters. It is now a Shiny Toucannon. I really like the pink beak.
My latest shiny is a Shiny Orange Cottonee. It took about 180 SOS calls. I plan to use it for a Grass Monotype that I will do once I get Moon. |
I hatched a shiny feebas a few days ago. I didn't expect it at all since I was only gathering a few for trade fodder.
|
Just last night i hatched a shiny wimpod and shiny cubone. Both were just me trying to hatch for the right ivs and nature. Both i have to bottlecap the last stat they are missing but they are pretty :)
|
I've only ever found a handful of shinys and most of those were in Gen2, but i'm holding out hope for a cute little shiny Alolan Geodude in Sun :)
|
Unfortunately, not yet. I know I will eventually, but my tradition of running into Shiny Zubats will most likely persist in this generation as well.
|
Second ever wild Pokemon as soon as I started Moon was a shiny Caterpie...yeah, I don't know how, either.
|
I got a shiny poliwag while trying to SOS chain for a politoed.
|
Currently chaining for a Mimikyu. No clue how long but time-wise I spent about 2 hours last night on one battle, which is currently still going until I can pick it up again.
|
Just chained a shiny caterpie last night. I named it Bullion.
|
I heard it's possible for shinies to show up on Isle Abeens at Poke Pelago....and there's nothing you can do to make them more likely to stay.
That would be painful.... |
I have found no sure Shinys in the wild but yesterday I was wondertraded a Shiny Zubat.
Today I obtained a Shiny Male Primarina on the GTS for a spare Legendary I had lying around. It's a beautiful Shiny but it's stats aren't great. I may yet try to hatch a Shiny Popplio once I get the Shiny Charm. |
I got a shiny Vikivolt through Wonder Trade.
|
I managed to chain a shiny bounsweet into existence, evolved it into steenee, and won't be evolving it again.
I'm trying for a salandit right now, and you can be sure it'll be a good long while before I get one that's both female and shiny. |
Yes. I've managed to catch my first shiny just a few hours ago, actually! A shiny Ditto that had shown up during my (SOS) chaining! :)
|
I have a shiny Pikachu. :D
|
Just get a Shiny Gumshoos while training my Sylveon so I it can help me find HA with skill swap! :)
|
Turns out I was wrong, the first shiny salandit I found was female.
That was pretty cool. Think I'll go for an eevee next, then hold off for a while on the next one so they don't stop being special to me. |
Tonight I got a shiny Lillipup, my first ever wild shiny !! :) Bad nature and not the best Pokemon, but hey... shiny.
I am glad we have an animation telling us that we got a shiny, and that I didn't miss it (I was watching a movie in the same time). The shiny and non shiny forms of Lillipup are so alike! I would have knocked it out. |
I tried to chain for a Shiny Vulpix today and got it in 50 SOS calls.
She has a Brave Nature which isn't ideal and 4 IVs (HP, SpA, Def, Spd). It's not the most noticeable Shiny as it's eyes only turn slightly purple. She is now a Shiny Alolan Ninetales which is a nice feminine pink hue. :) I plan to get the Shiny Charm before going for my next Shiny. |
I have several. A cubone, a Rockruff, a Eggexcute that I found while trying to complete the dex, not shiny hunt, a shiny salandit femal (first shiny one), and I got a shiny Hakomo last night in a beast ball!
SOS chaining can be pretty good. |
Well, I was searching for a Magnemite that was holding a Metal Coat, and I ran into a shiny one! I named it Rhodium and as I was training it in Melemele Sea, I came across a shiny Luvdisc, which I named Yellow Tang!

I just chained my first shiny. Little Pikipek, chain of 94 on route 1. I love shiny Toucannon. My Smeargle was only level 31 so I didn't have too many options in regards to Pokemon, but I think I might try for Eevee next. |
I actually chained a shiny Caterpie, Im so happy. :'D
|
Got the shiny Eevee, chain was at 114 I think. Chaining in this generation is stupidly easy. If you're careful and pay attention to what you're doing, there's literally no way to break it. Players hunting for shinies in the PokeRadar days will understand my amazement.
EDIT: Just got a shiny Fomantis. I love this! |
Quote:
Also I will start chaining shinies after completing the main game. |
I've caught/bred 11 shiny Pokemon in Moon so far. c:
1. Popplio (Bred on accident while actually trying to breed a shiny Eevee) 2. Eevee (Bred on purpose after 1600 ish eggs) 3. Pikipek (Was testing out SOS chaining for shiny Pokemon) 4. Mudbray (Random encounter) 5. Petilil (More SOS chaining) 6. Bounsweet (Even more SOS chaining) 7. Ditto (SOS chaining, was getting one with 4 IV's for my boyfriend's breeding, since we play different language games) 8. Rowlet (Bred it on purpose after 1300 ish eggs) 9. Zubat (Even MORE SOS chaining) 10. Goomy (Bred it on purpose after 150 ish eggs) 11. Grubbin (OMG SOS CHAINZ) I got the shiny charm in like the first week of the game's release so I've had lots of time to get these. XD |
Got the eevee, named it Josuke and ended up evolving it into a vaporeon.
Like I said, I'm holding off on shiny hunting for a while now, at least until I get a few more post game things done. Definitely need to find those last 3 zygarde cells. I'll probably go for a sneasel when the time comes, though. |
I have caught a shiny cottonee.
|
No luck with shinies in Alola for me yet. The only one I have is a Conkeldurr from Y
|
It's been three generations since my last random encounter shiny, but I have finally got another one! This time in the form of a shiny Fomantis, I got at the start of my adventure! He's the main pokemon on my team, I spoil him way too much, but that's because I love him. <3
|
Got a shiny sandygast, rockruff and grubbin all by SOS battling and a Masuda Method Rowlet
Lookin great |
I consider myself very lucky, I was hatching Laprases, and out of nowhere (not even a Masuda method) I got a shiny one.... I beat the biggest odds in hatching it since both parents were from the same region (my game) :)
|
I caught a shiny araquanid a few days ago. It was just a random encounter.
|
According to a grunt squatting outside Game Freak's headquarters, the shiny rate is now 4,000 to 1. So you pretty much have to pull all stops to breed for a shiny (charm, Mesuda, etc.)...

No wild shinies yet, but in the process of breeding for my Nanu team, I've hatched a shiny Meowth and Sandile. Must be a sign! XD
|
Since getting the Dewpider, I got a shiny Lillipup by walking around randomly, followed by Pikipek via SOS chaining after 3 summons. During the Pikipek encounter, the shiny Pikipek summoned another shiny Pikipek after 3 more summons and I had to KO one of them. The shiny Pikipek kept calling for help and I had to keep on defeating its reinforcements at around a dozen times before it failed. That nearly drove me to insanity because I was afraid that the second Pikipek would KO itself with Struggle after 75 turns. When I did catch it though, it came with its Hidden Ability.
|
I have 2 bonusweet and one of them has sweet veil.
|
I just caught myself a 4 IVs shiny Ditto. So happy!!!

I've caught a shiny Caterpie & Gumshoos by SOS chaining. Even though, I was merely EV training.
Is it me or is it the easiest way to find shinies? |
