So I have been encountering in route 10 in my X for a while, and in Phase 1 I got a shiny Yanma after 8000 something REs. Today, in Phase 2, I found a shiny Hawlucha after 4033
I am going for Eevee/Houndour though so these aren't what I'm looking for. For now I'm going to masuda hatch one of the pokebank pokemon and then I will perhaps go after Cyndaquil in HGSS, or go back to Route 10, or maybe even go to Route 8 for a bit. We'll see!
i spent too many late nights just thinking a hole in the earth
Hi, everyone! I'm a brand-new shiny hunter ouo; it's definitely encouraging to see all the success you have all had! I've been playing for around 8 years and only found one shiny (A Geodude in LeafGreen), so I'm a bit nervous, but if all of you can do it, then so can I!
Tried chaining for the first time in the Pokemon Forest yesterday. Not much luck after several hours, so I'm considering trying my luck with the Masuda method, just to see which I'm more comfortable with.
Guys, I have returned! Sorry for my half year abscence. :P My eevee shiny hunt has failed, but thx to X/Y, I have gotten my very first shiny via RE(nincada), my first MM'd Pokemon:(naive! protean) froakie. I also got noibat from FS and few others. As for fishing…… well, there are too many for them to count. :P The froakie was in the month of January, so my shiny quest for the month on the forums has veen completed! :D As of now I am Masuda Methoding for shiny sableye. Wish me luck as I have already filled over 2 boxes of 'em. :P I welcome all of the newcomers to the forum and Happy late New Year's to everyone!
Just realized the 2nd part of the month quest, one shiny to go!
I've started SRing for Bulbasaur in FR, and I'm also encountering in X for a shiny Honedge. Much to my surprise, Nincada is also found on Route 6! I like how so many different Pokemon are found on the X/Y routes - lots of potential Axiom 22 applications!
And here I was, thinking I found the first shiny of 2014. Congrats G-Money :)

shiny torchic

I'd also like to pose a few doubts about the shiny dex:
1. Do we have to complete it in order?
2. Do MM shinies count as a whole entry or as parts?
3. Does a shiny that can still evolve count for its evolutions too?
Thanks, Rezu! Congrats on your shiny Torchic!
1) Yes, it must be done in order, although it's for the whole club, so any one person can start hunting later in the year and start with whatever we're on. Right now, only Bulbasaur counts.
2) Yes! 4th and 5th gen MM shinies count as the full entry, and X/Y MMing counts as half. Anything caught under the B2W2 shiny charm counts as 1/3.
3) Yes! We're doing each evolution chain separately, so there's no need to get a separate Ivysaur, etc. Once someone gets Bulbasaur we'll move on to Charmander. It doesn't work the other way, though - Metapod wouldn't count for Caterpie, for instance. Stuff like Eevee and Poliwag will have to be caught multiple times for their different evolutionary branches.
I would like to join this club i have no shinys but i'm planning to i am currently looking for shiny kyogre on pokemon sapphire (started RE'S yesterday) for sh feebas on my emerald (my S/E games are not emulated i have 1 special edition kyogre GBA) Then i'm looking for sh ditto on Pokemon Black and Black 2 and looking for a shiny clauncher on Pokemon X! I am 11 years old my name is David.
Birth: 17 May 2002
Interesses: Pokemon , Animes , Mangas , PS3 (especially DBZ RG2 , Skyrim , Prince of Persia , The Simpsons) GBA , NDS , 3DS , Mario and some shiny pokemons that's all you need to know about me i hope to get in this club bye ^^ (if i enter please PM me :D)

Welcome back! Congrats on the Froakie and good luck on Sableye!
Path of the Ghost: 15/18
Path of the Starter: 15/18
TSE: I will race you for that shiny HG/SS Starter when you get round to it. Waiting for my sister to go back to university so I can steal her DS and run my 4 console setup again haha.
Still breeding good Bulbasaurs and trying to find a good Foreign pokemon in that egg group, but hard to come by.
Good luck completing the shinydex everyone, considering some pokemon are shiny locked……O_O
Anyways, 95 eggs on sableye so far. If it's not prankster, I'll most likely trade it off. As for the shinydex, I assume the pokemon we got before they were targeted will not count? Good luck to all shiny hunts! I will be back either tomorrow or tuesday. :)
Success!
I have yet to get a shiny Tyrunt to replace the one that I lost. However, today I chained a male shiny Furfrou. It only took 7 chains, too.
It has a pretty decent nature, and I'm considering giving him to a friend as a gift. My next target will probably be Croagunk, as I found a good place to chain for one and I've been fond of its shiny form for a while now. {:
congratz on the shiny furfou! Good luck on the shiny croagunk!
I never got how X/Y chaining is tolerable, it constantly dies on me. :(
Welp I have over 100 sableye now without a shiny, I will have to release/WT some soon.
On a side note does anyone know when pokebank comes out? my shinies are begging for transfer! D:
Is it just me, or does Miiverse seem far inferior to this site? Pretty sure this site is far superior to nintendo's X/Y miiverse community. 10 years IS a long time for an internet community, after all.

Cool cool! I am breeding for a secret target right now, I'm up to 420 MM eggs as I was doing some inbetween my other hunts occasionally. Whenever I get it I will start on the starters!
Also, I may well dual soft reset for Charmander or Squirtle on FRLG once you get Bulbasaur, G. We'll see how fast you get it!
Oh and one last thing, for anyone looking to do a horde encounter hunt I compiled all of the pokemon available in hordes, where you can get them, and colour coded them by rarity. May or may not come in handy haha!
WARNING! LARGE IMAGE!

GL on the shiny you are attempting to get, shiny eevee! As for me, I might hunt in the FS while MM'ing as I really like shiny goomy's evo line. The gold and pink, just glorious.
Anyways, I will be here less often thx to school coming up today at 10:00 CDT.
I'm thinkong of what shiny I should MM after sableye. Any suggestions?
Oh my gosh, the time of day system on the new games is fascinating! In all of the past ones, there were set times that would correspond with certain times of day, like a certain morning background for battles, a day one, an afternoon one, etc. But in X/Y, the time is graduated!! Instead of switching over from day to night at a certain point, it looks like each minute has its own sky, which is totally awesome. When doing hundreds of encounters, you get to watch the sun go down, and in each successive battle it gets a little bit lower in the sky, and then the moon does the same. Talk about awesome detail!

It's delayed to sometime this year, which isn't really specific, "lol". Luckily for us, the Celebi event lasts until September, so we won't really be missing out on any major Bank stuff. And I've never been to Miiverse (or even heard of it until now, haha), but I do know that the SHC is the best club on the Internet!

Ohez noez, the pressure's on! *SRs madly for Bulbasaur*
Good luck to everyone on your hunts!

Got a 5 IV Female Bulba, But has no S.Attack D: this game trolls me xD, I just want a good MM Set haha, Need a good Foreign breeder for it with Spec attack D:
I will have a good IV shiny Bulba Any help welcome :P
Shiny Honedge! My first 6th gen shiny came on encounter 1354 in Palais Lane - Honedge was exactly what I wanted! I caught it in a critical capture, too. It has a Quirky nature, which isn't bad.
Another shiny for my Ghost Quest!
555 Bulbasaur

G-money- Great job on shiny honedge! Really awesome shiny to have! On a side note, if anyone watched the national championship on football, you would have seen the best.game.ever (BCS wise, lol :P) Good luck to all shiny hunters.
The awesome moment of having perfect nature 6IV RE shiny. It's too momentous. :')
And a shiny for me, too!
Shiny Glameow, one of the first shiny Glameows in XY ever. After 495 Masuda eggs!
I've moved on to the same place you got Honedge G - just for now, as I wasn't expecting Glameow so soon so I left my HGSS and systems back at my mum's.
i spent too many late nights just thinking a hole in the earth
Hey guys! Hope everyone had a fun holiday. Anywho I finally got something on X after what felt like forever. I had taken a break from hunting Espurr, I'll go back to that soon enough. I had also hunted a bit for Ralts... Then Riolu and then I switched to going Scyther (couldn't make up my mind lol). Not ten minutes after hunting on this route a shiny Ursaring appeared. I've never really thought much about getting an Ursaring before, but now that I have one it's pretty sweet looking.
G-Money: I forgot you still were with your ghost quest: how many of that type are you missing currently? maybe we should do a type quest for next year.
So I took my DS to school to brag about all my recent shinies (I'm a horrible person, I know) and on a break, while I was explaining to a friend how the safari works when hunting for shinies. Then, out of the blue, a shiny Tangela pops out. I freaked out that for once the shiny I was partucularly hunting for on the safari appeared.
Best of all, I managed to catch it in a luxury ball. Only thing I didn't like about it was it didn't have regenerator. Oh well, maybe I can still find some use for it in competitive. I also named him Vinny because creativity.
3DS FC: 3711-7877-9850
Friend Safari: Grass with Ivysaur, Sunkern and Maractus
Gen VI: Greninja, Gogoat, Clawitzer, Talonflame, Aegislash.
I've still had no luck with getting a shiny Eevee. I've given up for now but I WILL get this shiny one day. I'll still have a trek about in the Friend Safari for one now and again but the MM has gone out the window. I was trying to get a Skarmory instead using the MM but I think I'll swap it for Cyndaquil.
Congrats on the new shinies people have gotten. Makes me jealous that people are so lucky.
I've started SRing for Mudkip on SS for the starter part of the Monthly Quest, and I think I'll try to get Bulbasaur as my Mega-Evolution part (or Charmander if Razer gets Bulba first!). I had hunted for Mudkip a few years ago before my Sapphire internal battery dried up, but my hunt resumes!
G-Money: I forgot you still were with your ghost quest: how many of that type are you missing currently? maybe we should do a type quest for next year.
Haha yeah, I'm really taking my time. I need 11 more (that is, if I can finish before more Pokemon are released, "lol"). I'm REing for Yamask in the Relic Castle in Black 2 - I've done a grand total of 10 REs so far! - and hatching eggs for Snorunt in Black, and at some point I'm going to run Ruby again to RE for Duskull and Nincada, and do the same in Emerald for Sableye (and Nincada if I don't get it in Ruby). Then I'll need to get Misdreavus and Gastly in Pearl, RE for Frillish in some GenV game, and SR for Rotom. I also need the two other Ghost-types in GenVI.
Let's see how long that takes!

Congrats! And good luck in Palais Lane - all of the Pokemon there are pretty cool, and there are a lot of options.
Congrats! Way to go getting it in a Luxury Ball - it's always cool to get shinies in cool, underused balls. Luxury is one of my favorites! Heal Balls have a pretty cool opening, too.

Haha! I just realized that I caught a starter who can mega-evolve... does that count for both of the January accomplishments? :)
EDIT: Second realization... I guess I caught a Mareep too!
*picks Superstrength79*
Welcome! I'm afraid your Wartortle won't count for the Monthly Quest because it was caught in a Friend Safari, but the Mareep is good (assuming you got it within the past 9 days). It counts as half of the Mega-Evolution leg of the Quest; now you just need one more Mega-Evolvable Pokemon and a starter (two starters if GenVI)! Good luck!

oh noez. The chat has been inactive for 2 days! School! Why u do this to us! Shony hunting is very eductational! (I mean really, it shows us how to undergo endurance with annoying thing and long lasting hardships, "lol" :P)
