Hey, guys!

I haven't had any new Shiny captures recently. However, I've been popping out a lot of 5-6 IV babies for a team I've been thinking of trying! Only Drilbur left to breed so I may yet get a Shiny. Unlikely since it's not being MMed, though.

@all the talking about Shiny Greninja

I'm definitely part of the minority opinion here, but I actually dislike (well, maybe simply just not liking) Shiny Greninja. It's a solid colour combo but I feel the contrast between the rather bright tongue and the really dark and shimmery dark body is too much and details are lost. If the secondary colour weren't barely any different from the main black then I would potentially find it better.

What do you guys like about it, either on its own or in contrast to the original?

What I like about shiny Greninja is that his colors really fit the Pokemon. He's a ninja and his shiny form is black which is the usual uniform color of most ninjas :P

Congrats on all the new shinies and welcome to all the new members!

I have hatched 1003 Honedges now, and I still haven't found a shiny. I've taken a break from hatching now, and I've started wonder trading away all the Honedges. Fortunately I only started boxing them after I already hatched about 700 or so. I would have more than 30 full boxes now, had I boxed all of them from the beginning. I check the stats of all the Honedges before I trade them away. If I find another one with perfect stats, which is perfect HP, Atk, Def and SpD and zero Spe imo, I keep it. I have currently checked 2 full boxes of Honedges, but only found 1 perfect one.

The other reason why I took a break from hatching is because I want to start working on completing my Pokédex. I really want the Oval and Shiny Charms, those wil help me so much. Im probably going to wait unti Pokémon Bank comes out before completing my National Dex, though, because I don't like completing Pokédexes through trades, I like to catch 'em all myself. Also, for anyone still wondering if Shiny Charm works in combination with the Masuda Method: it probably does. It's pretty much been proven in this thread on Smogon. They concluded that the rate for hatching a shiny using MM in combination with the Shiny Charm is probably around 1 in 442, as you can see in the spreadsheet of the thread.

You know, that's actually a really good point. Pretty clever if that was the intention! For me, those really bright white spots pop out too much. Nevertheless, point taken.

Have you considered breeding for a mixed Aegislash? It typically has a Spooky Plate equipped, goes for a Quiet nature and has both Shadow Sneak and Shadow Ball, as such using both attacking stats. Could be intriguing if you want to aim for all stats being perfect as you breed, or if it interests you more than the usual physical build.

I really like shiny greninja but I do wish there was a slightly larger contrast in the colors. The original has a good contrast. I think for the "inside" parts, they could have gone with a light gray or something along those lines.

I've actually never heard of that build (or whatever you call it :p). I think I will stick to the defensive tank, though.

After countless hours and eggs I have officially quit the search for my protean froakie!!
A very nice trader here gave me one for free(I gave him an extra yvetal I had just to be somewhat fair:/). He even gave it the nick name I wanted too!!
On to noibat after I finish a breeding request on gastly. Hopefully I will get lucky and pop out a shiny Gastly too. Shiny mega gengar is waaaayyyy beyond epic!

Actually, I believe the uniform colors for the video game Ninja Gaiden has similar outfit progress. The main character starts with a blue uniform, but in sequel games sports a black costume.

Glad you got your Froakie. Shame that you didn't hatch one :(

Maybe you'll be inspired some rainy day to try again :)

I'm sure I will:) thank you very much:)
To be honest with ya, froakie was sort of low on my main wants in the main game since nabbing one early in the game. I was mainly doing this for all for a redo lololol. I gotta be slightly masochistic:X
I'm excited to hunt down some shiny fairies I have to get this team down so it stops holding me back on other aspects of shiny acquisitions.

Did anyone buy the kid Icarus 3ds game? I only bring this up because it came with this nifty little stand for your 3ds to sit upon.
My boy thought it would be a good idea to use it when I'm hatching my eggs. Mind you he's only 3. It was a great idea!
Here is a pic in the spoiler(hopefully it will work for me this time. My phone doesn't like me,XD )...

I got around to doing another hunt on my Diamond version. I was attempting to get Mawile on iron Island. I was using magnet pull and everything but I got a shiny Graveler. Not the worst that could happen because now that I have two Gravelers, I can evolve one. It has a Brave nature. Since my other Graveler is better I will evolve that one.


(Brave = 1.1x Attack and 0.9x Speed)

HP 20-23
Attack 4-6 (lame...)
Defense 0-3 (bummer...)
Sp. Attack 30-31 (great...)
Sp. Defense 17-19
Speed 27-29

I started my next hunt up at Lost Tower. At night the possibilities are Gastly, Zubat, and Murkrow. I will take anything here, even Zubat. :)

Hi all,

Just got extremely lucky (i suppose). I finished my first ever SR hunt! Accidentally! I was trying to get a female Mawile with intimidate in glittering cave. After about 12 SRs and no Mawile, I got a shiny Machop!? Naive, No Guard don't know the IVs. Its a shame I got a machop cuz I already have 3 from gen IV (pokeradar). I am 300 SRs into my badge quest, and I'm putting together a team for the VGC (thus the intimidate Mawile).

I am doing badge quest, friend safari encounters and horde encounters on and off.

Congrats on all shinies, good luck on all hunts.

I honestly wish you the best of luck, that is a large amount of starters seen. My patience would have crapped out by now.

You can't pass down shiny from a parent without fail. The odds would be the same at trying to hatch a shiny Pokemon any other way.

I already know this, I never said I was going to use my shiny Eevee to breed, just that I'm breeding Eevee's to try to get shinies as well as grinding a FS.
