    So I hatch 5 Pokemon at a time trying to get a specific IV spread and I get close to what I'm looking for but not quite, so I go back, wonder trade them all and get that one egg leftover outside so I can take out the pokemon in daycare and replace them with something else. Well, many times I go for full (5 egg) bushells a dozen times or more and never get quite what I want, and then when I finally get enough IVs (at least 4 sometimes 5) I take the pokemon that's in and put the new one in it's place. Well about 4 or 5 times when I take that leftover egg and just hatch it for the heck of it, it keeps being EXACTLY the egg I was looking for. It happened with multiple Rotoms, both 6 IV smeargles and then just now with when I hatched a 6IV Minccino AND a male on top of that! (IE, EXACTLY what I was looking for, even Gender)

  • I outsped the Champion's Gardevoir with an underleveled Lucario and one shotted it with a critical hit from Shadow Claw.

    I also caught three shinies in one month, including my favorite Pokemon, Growlithe.

    I beat the game with an Azumarill that had 0 IVs in Attack.

  • Caught two shinies today (so far): Masquerain and Lillipup. :)

    Also, I've been really lucky with the GTS lately. I've been offering starters mostly and asking for Pokemon that evolved from trades and have almost completed my Pokedex (aside from Legendaries)! I hope I'm lucky when it comes to securing the Legendaries I need for my 'dex. ^_^

  • Today I got a shiny pichu through WT with 5 perfect IVs. At first when I saw it I was like, "That pichu looks a bit darker than usual. Maybe it's shiny... Nah it's just the weird coloring of the game." This game in my opinion seems to make the pokemon colors kind of weird... Anyways I look into my box again while I'm WTing some more and I pass over pichu and he has a shiny star. I was freaking out.

  • Bred a perfect IVed Chespin with the best ability and nature. This is the first time I have ever bred a 6IV Pokemon and I am so happy. :) But my #1 moment is finding two shinies within five minutes of each other. <3

    Probably, my best moment was when I found a Shiny Sliggoo and Shiny Gabite literally after like 3 encounters after. :o

    Today I hatched a Lotad with 6 perfect IVs! With the parents I was using, I had a 1/384 chances of getting him, so I'd say I had pretty good luck :)

    I hatched 2 6IV Cottonee today. I'd have to say though the luckiest thing was finding a shiny Spiritomb and then a shiny Shuppet one encounter after. :)

  • My luckiest moment was when I hatched a 6IV Eevee with perfect nature (for a Jolteon) in less than an hour! I only had to hatch 20 or so eggs :)

  • Earlier this evening, I put up a shiny Dedenne for trade on the GTS in my X game asking for a Latias (to help complete my Pokedex). I then played my Y game for a while and only just now checked on the GTS in my X game. To my great surprise and excitement, someone traded me a shiny Latias for my shiny Dedenne! :D

    This is my first shiny Legendary! I am so surprised and happy! ^_^ Makes me want a shiny Latios to match... :P

    It also makes up for the silly mistake I made earlier when, after a while of chain trading Legendaries for my 'dex, I put up a Zekrom and asked for a Phione (forgetting that Phione is the only Legendary that can be bred). Hopefully that made someone's day the way this shiny Latias just made mine! ^_^

    Edit: I forgot to mention the best part! The shiny Latias has an English name! So it's actually named Latias, instead of the Japanese or other version of it!

  • Just got a perfect-spread Feebas on the GTS. It wasn't advertised as being any kind of special, but I happened to have the Numel requested... Cha Ching! :)

  • Got my shiny charm today! :D I also now have an English name Suicune and Azelf to go with my shiny Latias! <3 :D

    I can't wait to see how well this shiny charm works! ;) I've been seriously lucky with shinies already, so hopefully this charm will increase that! I want to try Masuda Methoding again. :)

    Luckiest moment for me so far was getting 40 chain and finally catching my beloved shiny Skiddo which ATM is usless to me, but it still looks cool and satisfy me :D
