Today I found a 6th shiny Nidoran male horde hunting looking for the female Nidoran. It was 821 hordes.

I added them up and discovered I found 8 shinies in 4,995 hordes. That's 24,975 individual Nidoran, Stunky and Starly.

I'm not sure what percent the female is, I know the Geodude is 7% in Makuhita hordes and it appears in 35% hordes, the female has better odds since its in the 65% horde yet I've found 2 shiny 7% Geodude and no female Nidorans. Ugh.

I'm also breeding for it as there is a 50% chance to get it that way. I've hatched 545 eggs so far.

Today I found 2 more shinies in hordes, both were quick. Unfortunately they were Stunky and Nidoran male....


The Stunky appeared at 116 and the Nidoran 96 later.

That's 10 shinies hunting for the female Nidoran. Really wish there was a horde of female Nidoran with one male available.

Hey, it's been a while since I found any shinies.

I found a shiny Growlithe in a random encounter on Gold, but I failed to catch it because it used Roar.

Fortunately, I managed to do the shiny Ditto glitch so I can get nearly all the Gen 1 and 2 shinies for my living dex more easily. I managed to hatch a shiny Eevee within 4-5 eggs and because I already own the first five eeveelutions, I plan to evolve it into Leafeon, Glaceon or Sylveon when I transfer it to Gen 7.

I cleared Gold (VC) a few days ago and have since been trying to SR a Shiny Tyrogue, taking the occasional break to level-up my recent Shiny Victreebel. I just found this beauty during one of those breaks:



And it's one of my favorite Gen. II Pokémon! <3

I just hatched a shiny Chikorita on Gold. I'm currently trying to get two more for Bayleef and Meganium.

This is wild! I was training my new Shiny Misdreavus when Shiny #4 appeared!

New shinies hatched since my last post - Misdreavus, Duskull, 2 Cubones, and a Sableye on Moon, and 2 shiny Klinks on Omega Ruby. I've now hatched shinies of every ghost-type line.

I now have three shiny Chikorita, two of which I will evolve. I just hatched a shiny Cyndaquil on Gold and because I've already got Quilava from another game in my living dex, I just need one more Cyndaquil for Typhlosion.

I gave up Shiny Hunting in Silver, so I drowned my pain in Horde hunting and got a Shiny Murkrow. Also hatched a Shiny Dedenne in Sun!

Pure insanity. I've played a significant amount of Gen. II over the years and, up until the Virtual Console release, had only found four Shinies total in these games. This is the sixth Shiny I've found in VC Gold in under a month! O_O



Not just that, but all the Shinies I've found are Pokémon that I've never found on any game with full-odds. LUCKY!

I've been busy battling and trying to find traders for ashs pikachus that I never checked these other topics buuuut

My pride and joy is my Charizard I hatched in Omega ruby then EV trained and Move Tutored it for battle, it fell short because of IVs BUT THANKK YOU S/M for HyperTraining because now he's my main compadre I bring him with every battle. Whether or not I use him is a different story.

Currently hunting Mareanie, that elusive mon.

Finally caught a Shiny Oricorio after 4 tries and more than 400 Oricorio. Caught him in a Love Ball <3

Hello! I have a bunch of shinies in my Pokemon Moon game. I don't remember them all off the top of my head, but here's a few:
Gardevoir
Primarina
Umbreon
Decidueye
Goodra
Zubat
Delibird
Grubbin
Toucannon
Buneary
Lycanroc (Midday form)

...All I can remember atm. XD Every single one of them, I bred or encountered via SOS chain myself. ^^ Oh, except a shiny Hypno my boyfriend traded me.

Currently I am starting a new game in Pokemon Sun and I plan to do some shiny hunting in it as soon as I finish the story + dex! I'm super excited. c:

Also can't wait to fill out the dex in the new USUM game I get! (I haven't decided on Sun or Moon yet.)

Oh, since it says to say what I'm currently hunting... Currently breeding Miniors in Pokemon Moon and soft resetting for Totodile in HeartGold. :)

Its been awhile and I've found 19 more shinies. All through friend safari and hordes.

For hordes I've found 2 more Nidoran males, 2 more Stunky, also a second Aron that will be a Lairon. The 8th Nidoran male actually took 2,152 hordes to appear then the 9th was 46 hordes later.

For Friend Safari I found Floette, Grumpig, Bergmite, Metang, Whirlipede, Eevee, Ledyba and Sandile. The Metang caught in 2 balls on half health and asleep.

In addition I got a ton of duplicate shinies including 2 Audino, Mawile, Delibird, Kakuna and Togepi.

Finally! I just now hatched a Shiny Wurmple!

So, the reason why I wanted the Shiny Wurmple so badly. My best friend and I have a joke about Wurmple. He hates Wurmples, but masks his hatred as sarcastic admiration for Wurmple. So I wanted to breed a shiny Wurmple and level it up to 100 without evolving it and give it to him as a joke gift.
Now I must grind this shiny Wurmple 100 levels as fast as I possibly can! :P

Ok something insane just happened to me. It might be rarer then finding 2 shinies in one horde. But 2 shinies appeared in 2 games at the same time.
I like to double hunt, FS in Y and Horde hunt in X. I've been in a Friend Safari for awhile now looking for Hoothoot and was horde hunting for Gulpin, I previously got a Scraggy at 235 hordes yesterday.


Today on encounter 1,615 FS encounters and 542 hordes, at literally the same time, 2 shinies appeared. Will evolve both.

I also got my first shiny in Pokemon Go earlier today, a Magikarp.

I dexnaved for shiny Linoone and got it at 563 on Halloween.

Hello all, I am back after a hiatus with playing (RL issues).

I got a shiny wingull last night on my ORAS! I was playing a shiny nuzlocke challenge before I quit playing for a while, but I got this guy yesterday when I picked my games back up.



LVL 15, Quiet nature, Keen Eye, named Minty.

I just hatched a shiny Honedge. Love the red blade! I named it Sanguine~!

Just got a Shiny Finneon in less than 10 SoS calls <3

Caught a shiny Croagunk from Pokeradar chaining in Platinum.

Spent all week trying to hatch a goddang shiny Solosis for my ultrasun team, in X&Y. Nothing all week.
Gave up to spend an hour breeding the other ~regular~ dudes I wanted, including a Larvesta. After the first egg realising he was 10,500 steps, decided to be careful with how many eggs I bred/hatched. 8th egg - shiny larvesta, and he was perfect with 4 max ivs I wanted. Pretty stoked cause omg shiny volcarona is beautiful, but also mildly furious lmao

10/10 still working towards that shiny reuniclus called Jellybean~

here are some shinies i got during the past 2 months:
Haina Dessert:
4/9 and 12/9 caught 2 Trapinches through SOS call
5/9 and 7/9 caught 2 Sandiles through soft reset as i hate to deal with embargo and some of its moves
Mount Lanakila:
12/9 and 13/9 caught 2 Sneasels and got both females
14/9 caught Glalie through SOS call
Tapu Village:
17/9 caught a snorunt with SOS call
19/9 caught Absol through SOS with less than 20 encounter after second try
Thrifty Megamart:

22/9 caught klefky
Route 15:
26/9 caught my third Slowpoke, going to evolve it to Slowking

Ula-ula Meadow:
8/10 caught Ledian through SOS
Route 17:
9/10 accidentally caught Goomy while trying to SOS pancham
9/10 finally caught Pangoro. never thought to get the evolution before
Seafolk Village:

Poni Wild:
15/10 caught Rellicanth with some trouble on its call rate and fishing rate
15/10 caught Tentacruel through SOS
17/10 caught Lumineon, its Aqua Ring was no big deal
28/10 caught Lapras. probably the most annoying hunt with so much complicated preparation and anxiety if it used Perish song
31/10 caught Wailmer through soft-reset method as i was afraid to get another Wailord if i went through SOS
Ancient Poni Path:
18/10 caught Exeggcute through SOS
30/10 caught Gastrodon through SOS
Vast Poni Canyon:
2/11 caught Golbat
5/11 caught Boldore

7/11 caught a Murkrow

breeding:
2/9 got 2 Misdreavous while looking for its 6 IV for shiny breeding
12/9 got an Eevee from leftover for its 6 IV breeding
19/9 got a Cubone from breeding leftover
27/9 got a Gooomy from breeding leftover
30/10 got a Vanilite from the first batch egg

i think my shiny Island Quest will likely to end as there are only 4 areas to go. going to soft-reset for Type Null and Porygon after the quest over. and going to do the most hardest quest, Breeding for shiny, after all was done.

I've been on a Shiny Natu quest for ages and have managed to Wonder Trade away like five boxes of them. No shinies. How do you people do this 0_o

I just now hatched a shiny Cleffa as the second egg, I literally just now started breeding Cleffas. It's officially the fastest I have ever gotten a shiny unintentionally through breeding. Named her Greeny Genie.

I've chained a Shiny Stufful and I've been on Grubbin for 2 days, still no Shiny :(
But I did get a Shiny Lilipup in a random encounter, which haven't happened to me in ages!
