jfuze174 December 17th, 2016 10:16 AM

I found a shiny raticate by po town

aliland198 December 17th, 2016 10:42 AM

I was just searching for a Hariyama with a King's Rock in the Poni Plains, and I can across a shiny female Gumshoos! I named it Melania in reference to Donald Trump's wife...... Yep...

Ducolamia December 17th, 2016 10:55 AM

Let me see; From Wondertrade I got a Shiny Toxapex and Shiny Crawlbrawler, from a Youtube stream, I got a Shiny Mareanie, and from Masuda Method, I got a Shiny Wimpod/Dhelmise.

Also, I caught a Shiny Spearow...it's alright :P

aliland198 December 17th, 2016 10:59 AM

Oh. My. GOSH. Guys I'm freaking out! Just ONE battle after I caught my shiny Gumshoos, ANOTHER SHINY APPEARS!!! It was male this time, so I had to name it Donald Trump! I think my game is super lucky...!

Megan December 17th, 2016 12:05 PM

Not counting that random NPC who just wanted to brag with his shiny? Only randomly got a shiny Eevee through wondertrade. Kinda sad, considering that I've played about ~70 hours and encountered a lot of Pokemon along the way. Well, maybe when I start chaining Ditto, which I plan on doing soon.

Baggie_Saiyan December 17th, 2016 1:44 PM

Trying to breed a shiny Litten close to 100eggs nothing yet /;

aliland198 December 17th, 2016 3:18 PM

Just got a shiny Mareanie through Wonder Trade!

LilyGardy December 18th, 2016 1:32 AM

After getting the Shiny Charm and trying for a Fomantis twice and not getting a Shiny (Both around a 200 chain) I go to Tapu Village looking for a Snorunt and get a Shiny after just 9 SOS calls. :)

She's female too. Froslass might not the most dramatic Shiny but is a beautiful Pokémon.

Altairis December 18th, 2016 1:44 AM

Wow some nice shinies you guys have haha

I hatched a shiny Jangmo-o, that's it though. Going for shiny Type:Null currently and probably a Vulpix next.

That reminds me... my own shiny Gumshoos is female too.

Caite-chan December 18th, 2016 2:07 AM

I've gotten the following from Wonder Trade:
Raichu
Bounsweet
Litwick

And caught the following through SOS battles:
Dewpider
Saladit - Sadly its male...lol
Stufful
Grubbin

LilyGardy December 18th, 2016 3:05 AM

What luck. I tried in Tapu Village for another Shiny Snorunt and got one after around 70 SOS encounters.

It's male and 4IV too. Glalie isn't the most noticeable Shiny in the World but having a Shiny Pre-Bank Mega is nice.

Taliwack December 18th, 2016 10:14 PM

Random Encounter Shinys
 
I was leveling on Poni island and found a random encounter shiny Gumshoos, i though "okay cool, i have a shiny charm, just got lucky" but about 45 minutes later, I was on route 2 farming with pickup lilipups for destiny knot and a shiny Drowzie appeared. I feel like that HAS to be uncommon. Can someone give me some odds lol
30 minutes later *update* just ran into another shiny gumshoos on Poni island

Hikamaru December 18th, 2016 11:46 PM

What's making me interested in this thread is how so many people are somehow getting a shiny Gumshoos. I know it's common, but I never knew getting a shiny one was so heavily heard of in this thread.

MegaKuriboh December 18th, 2016 11:57 PM

....Did the shiny encounter in this game go up? Because I have found 4 shinies in this game, 3 in this past week, all from egg matching. Wimpod, Dewpider, A-Vulpix and now Popplio. While to be fair, I did use a foreign Pokemon for them (at least with the last three, they all had parents I got from Wonder Trade), it's still absurd, because in my Gen 6 Games I have hatched probably close to 10,000 if not more eggs and I don't recall hatching ANY shinies, and I used a Japanese ditto for most of them, so I don't know what's up with this game. Hey, I'm not complaining, especially since we now have Hyper Training to make them usable, but like god damn man. Most of them I found in my first batch of eggs too. I found a Shiny Popplio BEFORE I found even a Female one! What???

If I recall, the shiny rate is actually unchanged from 6th Gen. You must be getting insanely lucky.

I think it's about the same as last Gen. In X I found 4 random shinies before even reaching the Elite Four. (Golett, Two Gible and a Magikarp.) In Gen 7 however I am yet to find a Random encounter Shiny even with the Shiny Charm and all my caught Shinys have come from chaining. (Bounsweet, Alolan Grimer, Rockruff, Cottonee, Alolan Vulpix and Two Snorunt).

Congratulations on the Alolan Vulpix (Ninetales is a beautiful Shiny) and the Shiny Popplio especially. I got a Shiny Primarina from the GTS but it's not the same as hatching your own.

Welp looks like I'm using up all my good luck before I go Shiny Hunting. And it's funny cause Shiny Vulpix looks almost no different, I had to double check to see if I got a shiny or not, but it's really fun to have this neat collection of shiny, it's just crazy because in Gen 6 all my shinies were from Horde Battles only, so it's nice to have some viable shinies (and Pokemon I actually like, not just Gulpins). I wasn't fond of Shiny Primarina at first, but it's kind of growing on me, like a blond Popstar.

Esper December 19th, 2016 11:20 AM

I haven't found one on my own yet, which is not unusual for me since I have awful luck for getting shinies. But I did throw some decent Pokemon on the GTS, asking for really common Pokemon as a sort of giveaway, and someone gave me a shiny Magikarp for it.

Pinkie-Dawn December 19th, 2016 3:25 PM

I've encountered a shiny Fomantis, but I accidentally killed it from a critical hit.

Thats balls :( better luck next time eh!

I got my first shiny through WT today. It was Pom-Pom Oricorio so that's pretty nifty I guess... seems like it's legit, too.

Meaningless Flower December 20th, 2016 3:04 AM

I actually caught my 2nd ever (encountered) shiny through the SOS method. It was an Exeggcute and is now an Exeggutor.

Mimikyu402 December 20th, 2016 6:31 AM

I got 2 shinys so far first was a shiny fearow while looking for a jolly ditto in sun and then I hatched a shiny caterpi in moon while breeding for good butterfree

IndigoMoon December 20th, 2016 10:13 AM

I got a shiny Eevee after about 20 eggs which was really lucky. Then I got a shiny alolan grimer while EV training. I also found a shiny yungoos, but I KO'ed by accident because I wasn't paying attention lol. I don't even have a shiny charm. Finally, I got some shinies from wonder trade, but they are all very obviously hacked.

kingdenas December 20th, 2016 1:33 PM

I just got a shiny Pikipek after 165 encounters through the S.O.S method! I'm so happy ;-; It's my first shiny ever!

MKC December 20th, 2016 2:41 PM

I found a shiny Poliwag early on by chance the first time I got into the Malie Gardens, but it turned out to be a female so I traded her away, I got Lunala in exchange which I later on kept trading again for dex filling.

I also found a shiny magby while looking for a regular one for the dex, it was male and had flame body so I kept him, he is now my official egg hatcher.

Falco125 December 21st, 2016 10:21 AM

Got a few shines but the most horrid was Pichu
Just over 1k Sos calls and 3ds was on for 24 hours :'(

SirBoglor December 21st, 2016 10:42 AM

I've caught three so far, none of them from shiny hunting. My first was Grubbin, also from trying to get a Pichu to spawn. Second was Fearow, which I encountered by chance when trying to get a Ditto to spawn. And my third is Ditto, from trying to get high IVs.

TDiesels December 21st, 2016 7:28 PM

I just ran across a wild shiny Cleffa on Mount Hokulani while hunting for ditto. I literally jumped out of my chair when I saw it. It's so beautiful

Sheep December 22nd, 2016 6:12 PM

Ben I hate you. ;----;

That shiny Cutiefly tho...

If I wasn't so picky with natures I'd have one by now, but they keep using Stun Spore on me which makes my synchronize Kadabra bounce it back. And as I'm sure most of us know, SOS rates are extremely low if the target's inflicted with paralysis. Even with Taunt and etc it still slips through the cracks somehow. The dream...

aliland198 December 23rd, 2016 5:59 PM

I just decided to use the Masuda Method for the first time on a Sandygast, and I got a shiny on the 23rd egg! I named it Punalu'u off the Hawaiian black sand beach.

LilyGardy December 24th, 2016 6:34 AM

After repeated chains I haveq finally found a Shiny Fomantis. The yellow and green is instantly noticeable. She has a Hardy Nature and 4 IVs. She is now a Lurantisand will be used as my False Swiper for future chains.

Wow that's lucky! Good job.

Lrachelr5 December 24th, 2016 7:04 AM

I have a Lycanroc through SOS chaining and a Mareanie through Masuda method

Frozocrone December 24th, 2016 7:28 AM

Vulpix through Masuda. Got a noice Celesteela for it.

aliland198 December 25th, 2016 7:43 AM

I was looking for a Delibird to get a shiny one with the Masuda Method, and I ran into a shiny Spearow! I'm quite happy about this because I just recently lost a shiny Fearow and Machamp when my Pokemon Sapphire save file got corrupted.

IcyEvee December 25th, 2016 1:21 PM

all i got was a shiny magikarp (first time fishing) and a shiny ledyba totaly random while looking for a happiny

LilyGardy December 27th, 2016 3:01 AM

After a chain of only 53 I caught a Shiny Male Pichu in a Fast Ball. :)

He is now a Shiny Alolan Raichu. Alolan Raichu's Shiny Form reminds me of chocolate so he has the nickname Chocomouse.

Kikaito plush December 27th, 2016 3:21 AM

I didn't catch it but I got a shiny Milotic from wonder trade

Sabrewulf238 December 27th, 2016 9:32 AM

No shinies but I haven't really been searching for them either.

I'm going to attempt chaining for a shiny Drampa though so wish me luck. I keep seeing people saying they got a shiny in 30-50 Pokemon so that sounds promising.

aliland198 December 27th, 2016 12:49 PM

Got a shiny female Granbull while training up some Pokemon. Named it Daisy since its orangish in color. :P

That and I'm probably being really lazy with it. :<

I've been shiny hunting lately for sport and profit (as in, I like collecting Cosmog and Nihilego), with my Redit trades selling like hotcakes (Stufful, Cutiefly, etc.). Would you like me to try for a Staryu in case you never get around to it?

Garlana December 29th, 2016 5:26 AM

No random encounters, chained 3 Pokémon so far.

Poliwag - appeared probably 30 or so encounters in.

Eevee - took a lot longer

Tentacool- took even longer to appear! Several hours of constant battling

Garlana December 31st, 2016 3:46 PM

Just finished a 75 chain for magikarp after a failed one of over 255 yesterday. Great finish to the year,

Adamant, 4 perfect IVs not including spatk and HP, so will lvl to 100 and bottle cap him to improve that HP!

Happy new year!

I have a shiny Cutiefly if you want one!

Starry Windy January 1st, 2017 7:48 AM

Spoiler: I hope you don't mind me revealing this...
On my training sessions in Poni Island for leveling up my mons quickly, for some reason I spotted a shiny Granbull, and caught it. It has best IV for HP, and have Hardy nature, which isn't too bad. So then... I have no idea why it seems that I have tendency to spot shiny mons on the moment of New Year nowadays.

Nas160 January 1st, 2017 8:48 AM

I found one just a few days before Christmas. It was the first shiny I've seen in quite a long time. I haven't seen one in Gen 5 or 6. Other than red Gyarados obviously, I supposedly caught a shiny Nidorino (or Nidoran♂ and evolved it), but I honestly don't remember it. It's got my OT and everything. I obviously knew what shinies were because of red Gyarados, but maybe I wasn't aware of how rare they were. Before that, I remember finding an Onix in one of the Sinnoh games, but I either defeated it, or I caught it in my Diamond version (which I lost eventually).

Anywho, I was spending a lot of time in the Melemele Sea see fishing for a Corsola so I could SOS chain for a Mareanie. Eventually, a Corsola called a shiny one, which I wasn't expecting at all!



I was really shocked, got up from my chair and took a quick picture. I was spending a while trying to find a good Mareanie, but I didn't care, I happily caught this one, and named her Noel. Sadly, Corsola isn't the most viable Pokémon out there, in fact it seems to be quite low in most cases, but I will occasionally use her on my journey, and happily keep her as a memory of finding and catching a shiny.

Sun January 1st, 2017 10:06 AM

Found myself a shiny Zubat while I shortly got in that cave with lotta Zubat.
Also encountered and captured a Shiny Alolan Sandshrew while I borrowed my kid sis' Moon version on December 31st. (:

Boynsy January 1st, 2017 10:27 PM

Shinies are like buses to me - didn't get one for months, then found 4 in a week with barely even trying! I randomly hatched a shiny Feebas while trying to breed a competition ready Milotic, unfortunately it's pretty statistically useless. Then I found a Lillipup and an Eevee both within 70 encounters as my first attempt at shiny hunting, and then to top it off a full odds shiny Pelipper appeared too!

amonglostsouls January 1st, 2017 11:45 PM

I have been actively looking for some, but it takes so long :(
The only shinies I've gotten so far in the game are dewpider and mimikyu.

LilyGardy January 2nd, 2017 10:31 AM

Got a Shiny Male Machop by chaining today. It has 4 perfect IVs and disappointedly a Timid Nature. He also has the Guts Ability which gives welcome attack boost shenanigans.

I plan to EV train it, evolve him and take him to the Battle Tree.

mikey January 2nd, 2017 10:39 AM

Haven't started hunting yet, but I really want Sandygast! That shiny is my favorite in gen 7 I think.

Diarkia124 January 2nd, 2017 1:42 PM

I randomly found a shiny Haunter while looking for Mimikyu and got a shiny Fomantis via SOS. Now that I have the shiny charm, I'm going to SOS for a shiny Grubin

indidoge January 2nd, 2017 6:40 PM

Found a shiny cutiefly randomly at the beginning of my playthrough, and then I sos chained for a shiny rockruff a few weeks ago. I'm now trying to breed a shiny rockruff since the shiny I initially found was calm nature, and had only some decent IV's... I still love it though <3

jfuze174 January 2nd, 2017 6:51 PM

1 Attachment(s)
Attachment 81068 after a very long grueling chaining session I got this fella

Foot January 2nd, 2017 7:48 PM

So I've got a fun story:3 I caught my first shiny completely by accident and I almost critical killed it in my first attack:D A shiny Klefki:) I lov'm so much! I named him Kingdom Key:P

Lunar January 3rd, 2017 9:24 AM

I haven't actually searched for shinies yet but when I do I think I'm gonna go for a Mimikyu, that would be really cool.

Florges January 3rd, 2017 2:41 PM



Finally, some shinies for me! 8D

Mudbray was found at 36 encounters, while Fomantis was found at 84 encounters.

Cloche January 3rd, 2017 4:29 PM

Shiny 4 perfect IV Staryu, who I've named Azura. No hidden ability, but hey, I'm not complaining. I've named it Azura. Going to go for another one so I can have a Starmie as well.

The Evil Mewtwo January 4th, 2017 4:30 AM

I have found 2 Bonusweet, one with Oblivous and the other one with sweet veil.

Poke Slacker January 5th, 2017 10:34 AM

I been pretty lucky this new gen 2 random shinies Tauros and Trumbeak and 2 SOS shinies Mimikuy and Beldum by the way does any know a trustworthy trader I'm thinking about breeding a shiny Scyther and since it only evolves when traded I worried about not getting it back like my shiny Machoke in platinum.

Degurchaff January 6th, 2017 2:33 PM

I've watched myself a shiny Mareanie just all of the sudden while trying to get one with a good nature By now it has evolved into a Toxapex and made a dangerous addition to my team Here's a picture

mireka January 7th, 2017 8:19 AM

After sos chaining multiple times up to or past 70 WITH a shiny charm, I've had no such luck :(

Sammi January 7th, 2017 9:58 AM

I've gotten two so far.

One was a shiny Metapod that I found randomly trying to find a Pichu for my team.

The other was a Pikipek while I was trying to SOS chain for HA... so I could hatch a shiny one in a Moon Ball. Project has been put aside as I breed a million other things instead.

I probably won't get into proper MM until I can import a 6IV Japanese Ditto via Bank.

Pictures below. :)

Hikamaru January 9th, 2017 6:43 AM

I have just caught my second shiny of this generation - a Roggenrola at Ten Carat Hill.

I was actually trying to look for the Island Scan Deino when I found it. Sadly couldn't find the poor thing.

FloofyIncineroar January 9th, 2017 7:09 AM

Ah yes, I've caught plenty of Shiny Pokemon, all SOS method. I've caught Magikarp, Pikipek (which I gave the fully evolved form to my boyfriend as a thank you gift for helping me complete my PokeDex to get the Shiny Charm), Alola Rattata, Rockruff, Caterpie, Sandygast, Cutiefly, Smeargle, Delibird, Eevee, and Cubone. All of them are already fully evolved, and a few of them I'm using for Battle Tree such as the Sandygast (now a Palossand), the Eevee (now an Umbreon), and the Caterpie (now a Butterfree). My current hunt is for a Shiny Yungoos, SOS method.

LilyGardy January 9th, 2017 7:11 AM

Got a Shiny Rufflet at around 250 SOS calls. He has a Careful Nature and 4 IVs. He is now a Shiny Blue backed Braviary and had the right nature and IVs to help me breed a high IV Mandibuzz. :)

this is funny because I just chained:

Kawaii Shoujo Duskull January 9th, 2017 8:41 PM

Back when I needed wimpod in the dex, I went to encounter one. First ever wild wimpod encounter got me my shiny wimpod.
Also got a shiny golbat in Resolution Cave or whatever the place was called. Was going there for unrelated reasons and just randomly encountered it.
These were only like a day apart haha.

Garirry January 10th, 2017 1:41 AM

My luck with shinies has been very positive so far. While I was trying to fill my entire Alola Pokédex (capturing all the 301 available so far), I found two shinies, a shiny Cubone while looking for a Kangaskhan through SOS, and somehow got a shiny Jangmo-o without any SOS or chaining whatsoever. Considering that you need large SOS chains to increase the shiny encounter rate, I'd say that even considering the 1/4096 rate set in Gen VI, I got seriously lucky. I've since completed the 301 goal a few months ago, and now that I got the Shiny Charm, I can basically get shiny Pokémon ridiculously easily now, especially if I'm doing Masuda method or any other dirty trick. I do have also a Shiny Lv. 100 Alakazam I got from a friend, but it was obviously too good to be legit. 103 hours of in-game time is an impressive record (from the 96 hours in HeartGold).

Congratulations. Shiny Mandibuzz looks very nice and Vullaby looks pretty good too.

I am trying to get a Shiny Vullaby through Masuda Method (I have Sun) with no luck so far. (About 100 eggs).

Esper January 10th, 2017 11:54 AM

Someone wonder traded me a shiny level 100 Salazzle nicknamed "Christmas". Still no shinies of my own though.

LilyGardy January 10th, 2017 4:32 PM

After 7 Gens I finally have my first ever hatched Shiny:

It's a Vullaby named Amanda that came after 83 eggs. (Thought it was a bit more) Her parents are my Shiny Braviary and a Japanese Mandibuzz.

She has a Careful Nature and whilst only 2IV I plan to use the Gold Bottle I got from Poke Pelego today. :)

Mandibuzz is one of my favourite Pokemon and I am delighted to finally hatch a Shiny. :)

bini January 12th, 2017 2:31 AM

I didn't encounter a single shiny during regular gameplay. (Altough, I got a shiny Yungoos via Wonder Trade... named Trump.) When I started completing Pokédex I got a shiny Goomy and a shiny Bewear! 8)

quiter2812 January 12th, 2017 9:07 AM

I got a shiny Pikipek in the beginning of the game, before I'd even seen 50 Pokemon! Yeah, that was pretty lucky.
It's a Trumbeak now, and it's called Shinyyyyyyytyyy or something (that T is there because I can't be asked to go to the Name Rater)

Frozocrone January 12th, 2017 12:39 PM

Hatched a Shiny Sandshrew. Put it on the GTS for Porygon-2 since I need it for Dex and the Sandshrew was Snow Cloak :/

yrmrku January 12th, 2017 1:03 PM

I got a shiny Meowth randomly in Malie Garden on Christmas Eve. First shiny ever, so was pretty surprised especially since I didn't have the Shiny Charm. Unfortunately it's nature is atrocious (Brave), so he's the lead of my Pickup squad.

Not too long after I also got a Fearow and a Gastrodon. I know they doubled the base chance of finding Shiny Pokemon in Gen 6, but it was a bit crazy. Guess it was some end of year luck.

User19sq January 12th, 2017 4:41 PM

I hunt shinies for a living, averaging about ten a week. I'm thinking about taking requests, as long as people gimmie what I want.

Nobody's given me a Modest Celesteela in a Poké Ball, and I've been offering a shiny Mareanie with it's HA. ; ^;

Flan January 12th, 2017 8:57 PM

... I did it, somehow.

I don't know how, and while this hunt was not as long as my hunts for shiny Charmander and shiny Groudon, it felt quite long because I was not a huge fan of button-mashing through Gladion's speech for 30 seconds each time. It took around 3,200+ SRs. The IVs are "Outstanding potential!" with perfect ATK, DEF, and SPD, while the SP. ATK and SP. DEF have "Pretty good" ratings and HP has a "Very good" rating. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Chained a Shiny Eevee after about an hour of chaining. He has an Impish Nature and 4IVs. I caught him in a Nest Ball which perfectly matches Leafeon's Shiny colouration which is what I evolved him into. :)

I was SOS chaining last night, and after 300+ calls, I got a shiny Eevee with 3 perfect IVs. He's so cute.

Hey there! If you haven't had any luck finding a shiny Rockruff, I can give you one!

Anybody heard of the Magikarp method? I don't understand it too much, but it's supposed to make hatching shinies easier...

*LUX* January 15th, 2017 8:46 PM

Wow it seems everyone is getting shinies so easily and I'm struggling to breed and hunt a shiny pichu and male rockruff midday form like its so hard for me but you guys have shown how easy it is ill keep trying

It's not really called the Magikarp method, it's just Magikarp has the lowest egg hatch step amount, so it's easiest to do with it.
It's called swap breeding, and here's the guide on how to do it: (Not made by me)

That would be great, but I dont believe I have any fair trades in return. And I am kind of weird in that I would like to work for my first shiny. xD But thanks for the offer! Maybe in the near future after I catch or hatch a shiny and find something worthy to trade ill trade with you!

I got two more Shinys by the SOS method yesterday:

Shiny Male Eevee after a 20 minute chain now an adorable Shiny blue Sylveon. I think I will breed for a regular hidden ability Female.

Shiny Male Umbreon after about a half hour chain. It was the first Umbreon that appeared too. The blue rings look really nice.

Captain Fabio January 17th, 2017 1:41 AM

None that I've caught yet. Got a few from Wonder Trade, but I'm just assuming they are hacked, as they have extremely good IVs. Either way, just leaving them there.

I will be chaining some in a little bit, once I've finished IV+EV training.


GeneriCuber January 17th, 2017 4:45 AM

I have 6 SM shinies

Lurantis
Lycanroc Midday
Alolan Raichu
Smeargle
Ditto
Vikavolt
I am currently hunting oricorio, pikipek, mini or, and pyukumuku

LilyGardy January 18th, 2017 12:20 AM

Yesterday I managed to find a third Shiny Eevee with a Docile Nature which I evolved into a purple Vaporeon. This means I now have 4 Shiny Eeveelutions in Gen 7. (Leafeon, Sylveon, Umbreon and Vaporeon)

Whilst EV training my Vaporeon on Route 1 I managed to find another Shiny by complete accident. A Slowpoke after just 8 SOS calls. Now a Shiny Slowbro. :)

Frozocrone January 19th, 2017 6:10 PM

Hatched a shiny Chansey. 5 Iv's too :O Serene Grace but like...Capsule that :D

Frozocrone January 20th, 2017 8:37 AM

Another Shiny Chansey. Sweet.

Pretty much all the Tapu's look amazing in shiny forms.

I've been pretty lucky with my SOS hunts so far! Most of them have been under 100 calls. c: I got 2 shiny Rockruff because my friend wanted one. xD

I hatched a shiny Jangmo-o, that's it though. Going for shiny Type:Null currently and probably a Vulpix next.

still no type:null lmao

LilyGardy January 21st, 2017 3:44 AM

Looks like I am paying for that super lucky Shiny Slowpoke I had a Riolu chain of around 350 with no shiny, a Beldum chain broken by a Beldum struggling and a long Sandile chain broken because Swagger confuses adjacent Sandile too.

Will try again for Riolu tonight.

Grik January 21st, 2017 5:58 AM

I found my first ever shiny since my one horrific encounter as a kid where I forgot to save after I got it.

It was just a caterpie but I was so happy :)

Sadly this is the case. Apparently Game Freak never wants in-game Legendary Pokémon to be legitimately shiny anymore, I can't even tell the difference in Magearna (normal form)'s shiny color.

Anyways, I've never encountered any Shiny Pokémon in Gens V-VII. I did get a Shiny Japanese Swinub through Wonder Trade, it's Jolly with all perfect IV's except for HP.
