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. ; ^;

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!

LilyGardy January 17th, 2017 12:31 AM

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 :)

Wait you can't soft reset for a shiny Tapu Koko?

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.
