I found a shiny raticate by po town
|
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...
|
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 |
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...!
|
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.
|
Trying to breed a shiny Litten close to 100eggs nothing yet /;
|
Just got a shiny Mareanie through Wonder Trade!
|
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. |
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. |

|
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 |
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. |
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 |
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.
|
....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???

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. |

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

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. |
I actually caught my 2nd ever (encountered) shiny through the SOS method. It was an Exeggcute and is now an Exeggutor.
|
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
|
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.
|
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!
|
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. |
Got a few shines but the most horrid was Pichu
Just over 1k Sos calls and 3ds was on for 24 hours :'( |
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.
|
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
|
Ben I hate you. ;----;
That shiny Cutiefly tho... http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/195/104/75e.png credit - rumwik @ tumblr 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... |
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.
|
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.

I have a Lycanroc through SOS chaining and a Mareanie through Masuda method
|
Vulpix through Masuda. Got a noice Celesteela for it.
|
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.
|
all i got was a shiny magikarp (first time fishing) and a shiny ledyba totaly random while looking for a happiny
|
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. |
I didn't catch it but I got a shiny Milotic from wonder trade
|
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. |
Got a shiny female Granbull while training up some Pokemon. Named it Daisy since its orangish in color. :P

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 |
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! |

Spoiler: I hope you don't mind me revealing this...

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

Attachment 81068 after a very long grueling chaining session I got this fella
|
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
|
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.
|
Spoiler:
Finally, some shinies for me! 8D Mudbray was found at 36 encounters, while Fomantis was found at 84 encounters. |
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.
|
I have found 2 Bonusweet, one with Oblivous and the other one with sweet veil.
|
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.
|
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
Spoiler:
|
After sos chaining multiple times up to or past 70 WITH a shiny charm, I've had no such luck :(
|
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. :) Spoiler:
|
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. |
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.
|
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: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C1xyl8qWEAEjifX.jpg |
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. |
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).
|
Spoiler:
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). |
Someone wonder traded me a shiny level 100 Salazzle nicknamed "Christmas". Still no shinies of my own though.
|
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. :) |
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)
|
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) |
Hatched a Shiny Sandshrew. Put it on the GTS for Porygon-2 since I need it for Dex and the Sandshrew was Snow Cloak :/
|
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. |
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. ; ^; |
... 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. [spoil] [/spoil] |
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. :)
|
Shiny Hunters 2.0
From owning a few shinies, to owning a whole box of them! Post your recent Sun/Moon shiny conquests here!
~New 7th gen thread~ |
I was SOS chaining last night, and after 300+ calls, I got a shiny Eevee with 3 perfect IVs. He's so cute.

|
Anybody heard of the Magikarp method? I don't understand it too much, but it's supposed to make hatching shinies easier...
|
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 called swap breeding, and here's the guide on how to do it: (Not made by me) Spoiler:

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. |
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 have 6 SM shinies
Lurantis Lycanroc Midday Alolan Raichu Smeargle Ditto Vikavolt I am currently hunting oricorio, pikipek, mini or, and pyukumuku |
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. :) |
Hatched a shiny Chansey. 5 Iv's too :O Serene Grace but like...Capsule that :D
|
Another Shiny Chansey. Sweet.
Pretty much all the Tapu's look amazing in shiny forms. |

at least I've been lucky on the GTS with Type: Nulls |

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. |
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 :) |

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. |
