!!!! I JUST GOT LIKE THE BEST SHINY OF ALL TIME: BELDUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, I can hardly believe this! I was taking a short break from my Icefall Cave hunt to try some other things, so I decided to start breeding Beldum to make a 5th gen competitive team. Metagross can't learn Stealth Rock in GenV, so I was breeding on Diamond. I wasn't really looking for a shiny - I was hoping deep down that I'd get one, but 1/8192 breeding takes a really long time and I was just going to SR when the R/S/E remakes come out. My plan was to breed until I got 10 Adamant ones and then take the one with the best stats to use for my competitive team. But after a very short amount of Beldum, THE HATCH SCREEN WAS GLISTENED WITH SILVER BEAUTY!!! This is an amazing early Christmas present! :cer_love: Shiny Metagross is one of my favorites of all time, and it's most definitely in my top 5 (along with Rayquaza, Charizard, Latias, and probably Chandelure). This is so amazing!! I wasn't expecting to get one of my favorite shinies ever now, haha.
I wasn't counting the number of eggs, but my best guess would be 31. It was the first one of a new batch, and I probably did around 20 last night and then 11 this morning. I got my shiny Spheal at 4:12 AM and Beldum at 4:28 AM, but the circumstances were completely different: with Spheal, I hadn't gone to bed yet and was staying up late; with Beldum, I had already slept for 8 hours and was getting up early. :pink_laugh:
As my second shiny this month, Beldum ties a personal record for me. :D There are still 9 days left in the month (and year!), so hopefully I'll be able to beat my monthly best.
*wonders what object Lake of Retro will guess was used for the photograph* :cer_laugh:
like to wish G-Money the best luck on his targets, hope you find 1 on xmas or xmas eve, and does ID's mean anything if you hunting for a starter?
Thank you so much!! You were the one who gave me early Christmas luck. :)
IDs do factor into whether or not a Pokemon is shiny, but the effect is negligible. I don't know the exact number, but it's something like the best ID increases your chances by 0.0001% and the worst ID decreases your chances by 0.0001%. Don't quote me on that, though, as I'm not sure if it's just for Emerald or if that's true for all games. Either way, we don't really have all that much control over it, and in the time you would take to restart your game from the beginning, you could've done a few more SRs. I would recommend against it, but you might want to wait until MetalMario gets back for a more informed opinion.
wish me luck or atleast keep me from going insane.
I would give you luck, Weber, but I just spent up all my luck points on shiny Beldum. It really broke the luck bank for me, and I used up every morsel available since I don't think it carries over into a new year.
*wishes Weber not to go insane* :pink_wink:
turns out i have the WORLD'S FIRST SHINY GALVANTULA as no one has caught one before the 6th march so yeah =]
if i could get pics up i will but it'll will take voodoo magic to make it work =/
Wow, that's really awesome! That's quite an accomplishment, to be the very first to get a certain shiny. Congrats!
I think you need a certain number of posts (15?) to be able to post pictures.
*begins recharging luck bar*
