Candra Software January 22nd, 2017 5:41 AM

So the game doesn't glitch or freeze if one hacks their shiny forms into the game? Or in case they decide to make shiny events for them?

LilyGardy January 22nd, 2017 7:35 AM

After three frustrating failed over two hour chains looking for a Shiny Sandile I found a Shiny Drifloon after 19 SOS calls.

The Yellow and Sky Blue is a very nice Shiny. She is now a Shiny Yellow Drifblim.

AliceBlaze January 22nd, 2017 7:51 AM

The only two shinies I caught in Moon so far is a Caterpie that I randomly found before I got the shiny charm and a Kangaskhan from an SOS chain shortly after I got the shiny charm.

Shiny Type: Null? If you have any extras, I'd love one!

It's nice that Type: Null isn't shiny locked like the Tapus and the legends.

Although shiny Solgaleo looks kind of strange.. o.o

AliceBlaze January 22nd, 2017 9:31 AM

When the game first came out, I'm pretty sure Serebii said that Type:Null was shiny locked (although it wasn't on the list last time I looked). If I knew sooner that shiny Type:Null can be obtained, I would've tried to get it.

Akuryou Inushii January 22nd, 2017 2:32 PM

There's some proof on YouTube. But the cutscene before you get T:N is ridiculously long. Not as long as the starter cutscene takes though.

SOS chaining can be either really fast or really long. I hate the longer chains, honestly.. I'm on a drought.

Dragon January 24th, 2017 6:15 AM

I have about 21 shinies, though the majority of them are shiny Eevee in hopes of completing a shiny Eevee set, oho.

I'm hoping to maybe chain for a Shiny Bagon soon and hopefully have images once I get a better camera. >>

LilyGardy January 24th, 2017 6:23 AM

Yesterday I got my first Beast Ball Shiny. A Male Sandile in Haina Desert. He appeared after a two hour chain. (5th Attempt for Shiny Sandile)

I put him to sleep with my Lilligant before throwing a critical capture Beast Ball that worked. He has a Mild Nature and four perfect IVs in the right stats.

I named him Sidney and he is now a Shiny Krookodile (Which is an eye-catching Shiny) with the Battle Royal Ribbon. :)

LilyGardy January 24th, 2017 10:31 AM

Found a Shiny Male Riolu today by SOS chaining in a two hour chain. I False Swiped it, it broke out of an Ultra Ball, kept calling reinforcements and I couldn't put it to sleep due to Final Gambit.

It broke out of a Timer Ball then it SOSed a few more times until it called ANOTHER SHINY MALE RIOLU.

I could not catch both so I had little choice but to KO the original shiny and toss Timer Balls at the new Shiny until one worked.

He has a Naive Nature with 4 IVs (Atk, SpDef, Spd) and a low IV in Def that can be bottle capped.

My latest Shiny is heading to the Battle Tree. RIP original Shiny Riolu.

Akuryou Inushii January 24th, 2017 3:57 PM

Today was probably one of the strangest experiences I've ever had with Wonder trade. So I'm trading away some Alolan Sandshrew (they're shiny). And I got a shiny Dialga..
I get the feeling it's not legit. Level 100, Trainer is named AuS YoshiOG2 (with an TID of 12345) caught in a Dusk Ball, Pokerus, Modest nature, caught in Hoenn.

Can anyone verify if this is a legit 'mon, or hacked?

Candra Software January 24th, 2017 4:02 PM

Not sure if there's such a location in ORAS where you can get Dialga, and judging by that trainer ID it's most likely edited.

User19sq January 24th, 2017 4:22 PM

I've obtained shinies for trading purposes, so far. Now it's time I get one for myself. Here's to finding a shiny, female Popplio! Has better chances than chaining, but can still take a long time. XD;;;;;

In my experience, I use Thunder Wave instead. Works far better than inducing sleep. And in case you weren't aware: Synchronizers can help with natures, although if you were doing that, then sorry to hear that you were gifted with the other 50% chance of it.

Normally I use Sleep but as the Poni Grove Riolu know Final Gambit (Which doesn't affect Ghosts) I had to leave Alolan Marowak in.

Naive isn't a terrible nature for Lucario (I already have a Timid Special Aura Pokemon in Gen 6). And with the real lack of synchronisers pre-bank (Abra, Espeon and Umbreon I think) I leave natures to chance as breeding Abra which can only be evolved to Kadabra is no fun.

All Synchronizers are either Psychic-type, or Umbreon. I actually use Umbreon due to its wickedly-good defensive traits (by comparison), and its uses of either physical or special attacks, and Moonlight. Level it up o a high-enough level, and you're set (with all missing is Leppa Berries and a False Swiper).

There's a glitch in the games where the Synchronizer will use the nature of the lead Pokemon for this mechanic. For example: my lead Pokemon is a false-swiping Kommo-o, Jolly, then I send out my Adamant Umbreon. It'll use Jolly for its 50% chance. So even if you like Naive on Riolu, it's good to know this info for the case you might wanna reroll for another one. -w-

Nick January 26th, 2017 1:46 PM

I have yet to find a shiny, but I did get Pokérus!!!!!

tect0nic January 26th, 2017 10:39 PM

I randomly encountered a shiny Tentacool when I was progressing with my game. Now, I have a shiny Magikarp from the Chinese New Year special.

Final Gambit being on all Riolu means that in terms of Nature I am going to have to leave it to chance as Final Gambit causes Riolu to be KOed.

With Bank now released I can breed a load of Ralts with various nature's evolve them to Gardevoir to try and get ideal natures on Pokemon. Like a Jolly one for Rockruff. And keep Alolan Marowak for False Swiping.

Akuryou Inushii January 27th, 2017 3:57 PM

Last night was very eventful for me in terms of shinies! I got my first full odds random shiny, Wingull, a shiny Pikipek in 13 SOS calls, and a shiny Togedemaru after 41 SOS calls.

Also, if anyone is wonder trading, look out for a shiny level 30 Latios, OT Cain! I cloned my legitimate one from the Eon Ticket event in ORAS. ;) After 3,000 run away encounters, this baby shone for me!

I think you can get Dialga from flying in the sky with your respective Latias/Latios, but I doubt that TID is legitimate.. what are the odds that those numbers generate in that exact order?

LilyGardy January 30th, 2017 10:51 AM

Got my second Beast Ball Shiny this Gen. A Shiny Riolu after 37 SOS calls.

He is Male with the Inner Focus Ability. He also has an Adamant Nature. I was not Synchronising so am pleasantly surprised to get an Adamant Nature. Riolu is a nice Shiny. :)

I already have two Shiny Lucarios. A Timid one caught in Gen 6 and a Naive one.

The Beast Ball really fits the Shiny Riolu line. :)

Lunar January 30th, 2017 11:35 AM

None yet, though tbh I haven't really searched much, might have a day where I just grind for a shiny soon :3

tenchi February 1st, 2017 9:14 PM

No shinnies found somehow...or hatched....somehow.

I did get a shiny porygonz and a shiny porygon2 in trades however. I guess someone traded P2 because it had timid nature, which isnt amazing on a porygon2, but both porygons have perfect ivs, so theyre still boss.

icycatelf February 2nd, 2017 2:51 PM

It wasn't until the post-game that I found my first Shiny. I had been breeding for a Shiny Alolan Sandshrew and running around Mt. Lanakila for months, but just when I decided to take a break to run around the region in hope of finding any random Shiny, a full-odds Shiny Alolan Sandshrew pops up!

http://i.imgur.com/kF9kuWC.jpg

Awful nature, but she's going on my main team anyway. Also, this was my first time catching a Shiny with my favorite Poké Ball: the Friend Ball. :D

Here are a few more full-odds Shinies I've found since:

http://i.imgur.com/XqdjdDd.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/5NhRpfa.jpg

I'm currently trying to breed a Shiny male Burmy in a Moon Ball without using the Masuda Method or the Shiny Charm. @[email protected]

Frozocrone February 2nd, 2017 10:04 PM

I've finally got my hands on a Dream Ball Vulpix.

Now I'm going to get a male, breed that Dream Ball onto a HA Alolan Vulpix and then get myself a cute little Dream Ball Shiny Alolan Vulpix.

tenchi February 3rd, 2017 1:49 PM

just got an shiny oranguru yesterday ^^....for a blaziken left over from an old playthrough. I just exected to get a regular old oranguru, not a shiny with perfect iv's.

I hadent even use the gts until the recent global mission. The mission must have made people very generous. I guess i was too. I traded off a bunch of high level old extra starters and play through pokes without any requirements other than a Pokes name, and people were tossing me perfect iv competative pokes 3/4 of the time. 3 of those pokes were shinies.

Radiating February 8th, 2017 6:34 AM

I've bred a shiny ralts and SOS hunted a shiny pichu and grubbin.

LilyGardy February 9th, 2017 12:35 AM

Whilst EV training I found a Shiny Meowth, now a Shiny Persian. The purple/grey colour of the Shiny looks very nice I think.

I also got a Shiny Charmander (Now a Shiny Charizard) on the GTS. Oddly the Shiny Charmander was the only Charmander which asked for a Pokem which I had. (A Hakamo-o)

CharnaySeba February 11th, 2017 4:38 AM

I am yet to start Shiny hunting, but I had some luck in Wonder trades.

First, I got a level 100 Shiny Salamence with Pokérus (I'm still afraid that it's hacked).

Then I got a level 100 Shiny Electivire, I jumped out of happiness.

And the cream of the crop, I got an elegant level 100 Shiny Magikarp nicknamed "Kill UrSelf", it was so hilarous and so useless. :D

Photo to prove it:

TequitoClown February 11th, 2017 11:28 AM

Yes, actually! I got a shiny roggenrola right after my first Kakuna battle! Added him to my team, and I love him. He's a Gigalith now, and I think this takes 2nd place on my favorite shiny list! (1st being shiny Porygon-Z)

http://i.imgur.com/PfHMzRl.jpg

Akuryou Inushii February 11th, 2017 4:24 PM

So I did some run away encounters last night while laying in bed, and I ended up getting a shiny Crabrawler!
I posted some pics on my Instagram xD My 14th shiny from SuMo!

0089 February 11th, 2017 6:34 PM

No shinies for me yet, then again I've YET to STILL finish my Sun anyway... Though, I've picked up on playing my Sun more again. Might hunt a shiny Stufful just because it's orange, maybe...

Frozocrone February 12th, 2017 9:59 AM

Just now, was KOing Pokemon to level up some non ENG and a shiny Alolan Raticate popped up (no SOS). Quick Balled it. Not checked nature or ability or anything, but it's nice to have (especially since my shiny encountered part on plaza is no longer 0, despite hatching shiny eggs).

EDIT: LOL IT HAD DOUBLE EDGE, I WAS ABOUT TO FALSE SWIPE IT.

It's Jolly and has Gluttony. Not too shabby I guess.

Edit: Wonder trading for FC farming. Just got a Shiny Sceptile. Hacked I think, as it's quirky, level 100 and 6 IV xD Well at least I can breed with it and get a HP fire one.

pawn February 12th, 2017 12:20 PM

how do u know if it is legit shinny or hack?

Frozocrone February 12th, 2017 12:41 PM

I don't, but I can say with some degree of certainty. I've not touched it, and it's a hatched level 100 Mon...which has no EV's.

Call me suspicious.

magikarpfainted February 13th, 2017 4:05 PM

ive gotten most of my shinies from wonder trade.
got a shiny archeus the other day.

Dagger31198 February 14th, 2017 2:59 PM

I have two shinies that I bred for. One is a Gyarados, Adamant and the only IV I'm missing is attack, and then just now I got a shiny Charmander after 6 boxes of regular ones.

He's missing HP. Good thing I just got that Festival plaza cash infusion.

Completely unrelated, but if I were to want to give away a bunch of Charmanders to forum members, what would be the most efficient way of doing that?

TheMikningBolt February 14th, 2017 3:54 PM

Started playing Sun with a shiny Phantump, bred with almost perfect IVs using the Masuda method. Only took 59 tries ;)

RyleeXylph February 14th, 2017 4:58 PM

I found a shiny Carbink on my first pass through Vast Poni Canyon. A Sableye appeared when it cried for help, for a little extra drama.

Esper February 15th, 2017 9:44 AM

Someone wonder traded me a shiny Luvdisc on Valentine's Day. Hacked (perfect stats), but I don't care since it was good timing.

Then this morning I got my own first shiny in S&M, a Popplio I hatched. Finally.

Akuryou Inushii February 16th, 2017 12:19 PM

I've had such good luck recently with shiny hunts after a week of drought xD

User19sq February 17th, 2017 5:33 PM

So it turns out you can RNG in these games. And I ended up doing this:


EC February 22nd, 2017 4:25 PM

Just ran into and catch a shiny Caterpie in my playthrough of Sun. I have never run into a shiny Pokemon while still playing through the main bulk of the game, so this little buddy is going right on my team.

Akuryou Inushii March 16th, 2017 3:37 PM

I bought a new copy of Omega Ruby to soft reset for the shiny legends to trade them over to my Moon game, and I got a shiny Reshiram. c:

Leafsfan March 16th, 2017 11:26 PM

While levelling up my Sliggoo on Exeggutor Island, I encountered a shiny Exeggcute. I've never looked for shines int he past and it's the first shiny Pokemon I have ever encountered/had. Now I am proud to have an amazing shiny Alolan Exeggutor in my party.

OriginRoute March 18th, 2017 7:42 PM

A few hours in and I found a Shiny Drifloon with decent nature and stats in the cemetery somewhere in Melemele.

Haven't played in a while though so I could see more in due time.

Black-Tigress March 20th, 2017 12:13 PM

So far, I've gotten six shinies in Moon.
Pikachu, Sandygast, Grimer, Litten (159 eggs), Pikipek and Charjabug..All evolved except Charjabug (Keeping him that way).
Random Encountering, hoping to find a shiny female Oranguru...

Nice to see someone else get a shiny Drifloon, joining the one I have on X myself. It's interesting to note that in Festival Plaza, you can potentially get a bouncy house that looks like a shiny Drifblim, so that would not be a bad idea at all, because it'll match your own shiny!

CutePandaPlayz March 22nd, 2017 3:52 AM

Besides trading and giveaways and all that I got a shiny mudbray from SOS.

tamanaphy March 22nd, 2017 6:35 AM

None.
I have the worst luck when it comes to finding shinies.

Black-Tigress March 22nd, 2017 7:13 PM

At 983 random encounters in the Lush Jungle, I found my seventh Sun / Moon shiny - Paras..
It ain't shiny Oranguru, but it's still a shiny something. :3

For a player who only goes for competitive, I rarely encounter shinies. That's why I'm attached to the Drifloon. I'm planning to take it with me online after a bit of training.

PlatinumDude March 22nd, 2017 10:15 PM

Since getting Dewpider, Lillipup, and Pikipek, I also ran into a random shiny Cubone and snagged a shiny Roggenrola via SOS at a chain of 34.

PokéMuggles March 30th, 2017 1:58 AM

I caught a shiny Rockruf in the first hour of the game :D has been my loyal compagnion since

Devil Dawg March 30th, 2017 9:00 AM

I caught a shiny Yungoos as the first or second Pokemon I encountered after I just restarted the game and received my starter xD.

MechaMoth March 30th, 2017 12:17 PM

I had to SOS chain to get a shiny Pikipek when I first started. It was grueling, but I did it while I was at work, so it turned out alright. I just lose focus easily.

I mostly get my shinies from trading, though.

Mister Coffee April 2nd, 2017 9:20 AM

I have so far acquired only two shiny pokemon.

My first Shiny was a Beedrill that I was lucky enough to acquire during a Wonder Trade. It's a 6/6 IV, Jolly natured, has Sniper, has pokerus, level 100, and is from Spain (I'm not sure if it's a fake or a clone, and I haven't really bothered to check.).
I haven't really wanted to use it, but it's still a hell of a lucky find in a wonder trade.

The second shiny I acquired is a shiny Eevee. I bred it while I was mass breeding for 6/6 IV Eevee's. It has 4/6 IV's, Modest nature. Named him "Silverado".

Maya April 6th, 2017 3:32 AM

I stumbled upon a shiny formantis my first time going through the route. This was when the game came out and I wasn't really familiar with pokemon colours. I wasn't paying attention and I almost missed the shiny animation! I came so close to just killing it without knowing.

I'm really happy it was a formantis too, since lurantis is one of my favourites this gen.

ratbag April 20th, 2017 6:44 PM

I've hatched almost three hundred goomys and still no luck haha

Altairis April 20th, 2017 7:37 PM

Going to try my hand at setting up RNG this weekend. So excited it's a thing again.... not really into soft resetting for days (Type:Null) or hatching 1,000s of eggs for a subpar shiny (Jangmo-o)
