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.

Oh, man. Good luck. Soft resetting for the starters take a while for this game.

Cozzie November 18th, 2016 8:52 PM

just received my first wonder trade shiny (mimikyuu lvl 42). Does anyone know how I can check if it's hacked or legit?

Rain November 19th, 2016 7:15 AM

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.

I saw him grab 4 of those shinies yesterday within like 50 encounters.

Hikamaru November 21st, 2016 3:41 AM

Still haven't gotten a shiny here yet. May post later if I do find one.

Florges November 21st, 2016 4:28 AM

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.

WildJimmyHasAppeared November 21st, 2016 5:33 AM

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

Hikamaru November 21st, 2016 7:14 AM

As of posting this, I just got my first ever 7th Gen shiny. It was a Yungoos on Route 2!

blue November 21st, 2016 7:22 AM

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.

I personally haven't had any yet but my brother found a shiny Trumbeak before I had even opened the game...

One of my friends has also bred like 5 shinies already. Sandygast, all 3 starters, Dhelmise, etc. It seems to be higher this generation?

Meganium November 21st, 2016 9:17 AM

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 think I heard the shiny rate in this game was lowered to like, 1 in 4000. I've only had my copy of Moon for four days now and I now have my first shiny, which was my aforementioned Yungoos (now a Gumshoos).

Somewhere_ November 21st, 2016 4:37 PM

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

I believe it's been 1 in 4,096 since X/Y, which is half of what it was before then (1 in 8,192). Speaking of "1 in 4,000" though, there's an NPC in Sun/Moon that literally says the odds of finding a shiny are about 1 in 4,000.

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

WHHHHHHYYYYY?!?!?!?!? Alolan Diglett is GAWD! ; ~ ;

peteed November 22nd, 2016 8:08 AM

Trying to get a Bagon/Salamence on route 3 I got a Shiny Sassy Cutiefly just now :D

Ho-Oh November 22nd, 2016 9:47 PM

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.

TheLegendaryGuy November 22nd, 2016 10:10 PM

I just caught a shiny Alolan Meowth. It sure looks dark!

walnut3072 November 22nd, 2016 11:09 PM

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.

You know something is messed up when a regular fish is rarer than a shiny. @[email protected]

Did you focusing on the bubbling spots? The chance of encountering Feebas are much higher there. I caught one with this way.

CidHazard November 23rd, 2016 2:42 AM

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
