May Madness Update 4

Day 12

Busy day for horde encounters, several hundred over the day. Had 2 successes: a Cubchoo and a Shuppet. Both ones that are quite cool, so am happy!

Days 13,14,15

Been busy with work, but managed 300 odd horde encounters. Nothing to show for it :(

Day 16

Managed around 300 hordes, got a pretty little Wurmple. Really like the coloring on this one :)

Next week will be quite busy as well, so while I am roughly on track I am expecting to fall behind a bit. The last few days of the month might be quite frantic hunting though!

Hi! May I join? My first shiny EVER was a Poochyena, non-induced, pre- shiny charm, no horde and totally a surprise. Since then, I've caught these shinies:

Voltorb
Koffing
Golbat
2 Zigzagoon
Spoink
Magnemite
2 Swablu
And a random Volbeat that I wasn't even looking for.
I actually have way more than that, but the others were just by luck through wonder trade. I'm up for any shiny now, but I hope not another Swablu or Zigzagoon.
Oh, and I've never soft reset for legends. Too time consuming IMO.

Hi everyone! I just joined PC so I could join this club! I started Shiny hunting 3 days ago, lol. I thought Shinies were impossible until I talked with someone who was doing a giveaway contest because they had extra shinies... What?? How does someone have EXTRA when I didn't have ONE even after playing every generation of Pokémon?? So they pointed me at various shiny hunting guides and I CAUGHT MY VERY FIRST SHINY! It was a Pancham and I used the chaining method. Then last night I caught a shiny Croagunk! Now I'm hooked! Which is why I'm here. :D

Congratz on your shinies everyone, and welcome to PC Paperhana :)

While taking a break from soft resetting for Treecko in my Alpha Sapphire "Shinylocke" (that's what I decided to call the little challenge I have for myself) I hatched a shiny Lotad on my Omega Ruby. Lol I wasn't even going for a shiny, I was just IV breeding and it happened. I was so happy and surprised that I scared my girlfriend when I yelled "OMG A SHINY!"

As for Alpha Sapphire, I'm at 1719 SRs and still nothing. I accidentally picked Torchic 4 times, I really hope that I didn't miss it my shiny Treecko :(

Congrats for all new shinies, and hi to all new members!

May Madness Update 5

Day 17

Got about 4 solid hours in and boy was it a good day! First off after half an hour, found a Shroomish. Quite a rare one in its route, so I kept going as I wanted either another Wurmple or to get a Zigzagoon and 15 minutes alter, I got a Zigzagoon! I then went to try and get an Ariados, and 5 hordes in a Golbat popped up. I already had one of those, but Crobats are cool so its ok. Then I wanted to pick up an Oddish, and that only took 10 mins as well! Just before Oddish shone, I also snagged a Klefki on Y. So 5 shinies in 4 hours in 1 day, best run I have ever had :)

Days 18,19

Was busy at work, but managed 400 odd horde encounters. Nothing to show for it.

Day 20

Another 400 odd encounters, Voltorb showed up which was nice :)

Day 21

200 odd horde encounters. Nothing to show for it.

Day 22

Another good day, 350 hordes gave me Gulpin, Plusle and Mime Jr. Almost didn't notice Plusle, it looks so close to the normal one I wouldn't have noticed if not for the sparkle.

Day 23

300 odd horde encounters. Nothing to show for it.

Happy May!

To complete this month's quest:

Hey shiny hunters! So I recently picked up White 2 and wanted to try soft resetting for a shiny starter. Does anyone know if the shiny shoes up during the preview selection? Like before I select my Pokemon? Also is it worth soft resetting or am I better off breeding matsuda style in X? Oh I should add that I don't have my Shiny Charm yet still working on my Nat Dex. Thanks guys!!

No more updates until 1 June, just to keep you guys guessing!

@G-Money

Aww shucks, thanks for your kind words! Hopefully I get there, though it is not finished yet. Once I have finished (either successfully or not) I plan to Masuda Method something - not sure yet - as I have never hatched a shiny. I have received a shiny fossil from the reviver guy, that's probably the closest :)

And, though I have shiny charm, by my count 12 of the ones I caught have a name with 5 or 6 letters, so pretty sure I scrape in :)

@Paperhana

AFAIK the only game(s) where you can see if a starter is shiny or not before selection are HG and SS - in all the others you don't get to see before the battle :( Therefore, MM would likely be a little quicker, especially if you do get the Shiny charm.

May madness - FINAL UPDATE!

Day 24

200ish hordes, while hunting for an Aron I get a Zubat. Bit annoying given I had 2 Golbats already (one from my Hordes this month, one random encounter pre shiny charm a while ago). Oh well, a shiny is a shiny! Still want that Aron though!

Day 25

Nothing to show, 150ish hordes

Day 26

Managed about 800 hordes today, was a very busy day for me! Managed to snag a Vanilitte, which was what I was after on the route so I was happy! On Y, I went back to Route 11 to try for a stunky, though NidoM or Starly would be rarer but still appreciated. 45 minutes after Vanilitte I got a shiny NidoF! Really happy, now I have 2 NidoM and a NidoF, I have a pair! Decide to stay on this route, as Nidoking is a cool shiny (my brothers favourite) and another NidoF would give me 2 pairs. Meanwhile, 35 minutes later on AS I got ANOTHER Zubat. Not ideal, especially given I had Magnet Pull first, should have seen an Aron 1 of the 2. But Crobat is a cool shiny, so could be worse. MUST. KEEP, GOING! Litterally 6 minutes later, managed to snag another NidoM on Y. I realise at this point I am doubling (and now trippling) up but its fine. Just 1 more needed to hit the 31 for the challenge - and 2 1/2 hours later Aron decides to finally shine. I HAVE DONE IT - CHALLENGE COMPLETE!!!! Time to get some sleep now, it has almost ticked over into day 27!

Day 27

Decided, as I mentioned above that after the challenge (win or lose) I was going to MM something - and I settled on Pichu as my first target. It seemed a travesty that of all Pokemon I didn't have a Pikachu, and it has a low step count to hatch. Plus, I had 2 good parents to use. 81 eggs later, I have to do a double take - is that shiny? It looks a little different.... YES IT IS! A lot quicker than the average 1/512, but that suits me fine! After this, I have a bit of a look for other options and settle on Maril to MM next.

Days 28,29,30,31

242 eggs later and nothing else to show for it


- fin -

I hope some of you at least found this interesting to read, I had a lot of fun gathering them all. As usual, pictures are below:

Hello, old and new hunter friends! Hope you haven't missed me much.

@Kitrigar: Wow, that's quite the luck you've been having! Two Pachirisu and a Chatot within a short period of time. Have you done any IV breeding while hatching or have you just focused on hunting time efficiency?

@TheShinyEevee: Awesome that you're still here and doing your stuff; good to see that you're still active with videos! I should catch up on your content; definitely looking forward to more SHC-related montages and film.

@Paulthagerous/G-Money/Spritingyoshi22/Latios Master: Hey, hey! I see some of the core and semi-core continues onwards even now! Happy to see you guys active. Congratulations on all your captures, especially the May Madness, well, madness!

@Electrizard/shiny collector/TheCrystalFlaaffy/anyone else I may have missed: Welcome or welcome back!

I haven't done much Shiny-related stuff or much Pokémon-related stuff at all, lately, at least on main games. Playing friendly Pokémon Showdown matches and having fun in Pokémon Rumble World, currently. The Shiny itch flares up just from seeing all of your hunts, though - will have to see what the future holds.

With that said, I did get a nice and friendly female Kecleon during my ORAS playthrough! A subtle but nevertheless cool Shiny.

I'll be watching this space for more. Until next time!

I would like to join the Shiny Hunters Club. However I do have to mention that the last game I played religiously was Emerald. And I never owned a DS, I played my family members because I was much more into PC gaming. Still I have always loved Pokemon. I originally started with Red and Blue version back in the good ol' Gameboy days. For the longest time I was debating on getting my own DS but I never went through with it. Currently, I have a 3DS XL on it's way. I broke down after years and really question why it took me as long as it did to go through with it! But X/Y and ORAS have forced my hand. So here's the thing. Being that I don't yet have my 3DS XL ( Will have it middle of next week) can I still join being I will be having it soon? On a side-note, I want my very first shiny to be a pikachu, so that is what I will begin my hunt with! So anyways, I think I have went on long enough. Please let me know if I can join. Looking forward to being a part of this community.

Nice to meet you, Nepharym. The more hunts and hunters, the merrier!

The club tends to be more of a hunt gathering and discussion spot, so you shouldn't have issues joining. One of our staff will likely give you a post reply sometime soon.

I hope you manage to get a Pikachu as your first, but you'll likely be facing a fair few encounters before you can breed or encounter a place full of Pikachu. Best of luck!

Thank you very much for the welcome Runasutaru. I appreciate it. Looking forward to hearing from the staff. I kind of figured a Pikachu wouldnt be my first shiny. But I did kind of hope lol. Again it has been a minute since I have played a Pokemon game constantly, so as far as the location or point in the game where they are I didn't know whether it was more toward the beginning or what. Thank you for the insight :)

Unprecedented quantities of Moor of Icirrus encounters

Letting the Trainer Card count my Moor of Icirrus and Relic Castle encounters keeps making me think that I've done so many, haha. It'll be interesting to see how many I end up with at the end, "lol."

Hey shiny hunters! So I recently picked up White 2 and wanted to try soft resetting for a shiny starter.
Good luck, Paperhana! Which starter are you thinking of going for?

May madness - FINAL UPDATE!
WOW!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS, PAULTHAGEROUS!!!!! You might've just accomplished the greatest month of any shiny hunter ever!!! Way to go, dude! Anyone else would be tremendously successful to get as many shinies in an entire year as you did in a month, haha. That's amazingly awesome!!!

Hello, old and new hunter friends!

I officially welcome you to the club, Nepharym! We're really glad to have you! Hope you'll have a lot of fun on your new 3DS XL and good luck getting that shiny Pikachu! :)

I guess ill join! I do not have any shinies, nor have I caught/bred/traded for any. I even failed to catch red gyrados. I am using the masuda method to obtain what will be my first shiny: a noibat!
Welcome to the SHC, BadSheep! Good luck on your Noibat hunt and may it be your first of many, many shinies! :)

Welcome back, Runa!! Congrats on the Keckleon! Any hunts you're going on now?
I might breed myself some more competitive Pokémon soon, so I'll definitely be trying to use some of my 4-5 IV foreign males on those (after passing any egg moves). Aside from that, I'm still casually working on the old Gen IV no-Masuda IV-bred Everstone Shiny Nincada hunt while watching shows online. 4000+ eggs in 500+ hours and counting! The lengths I go to for a Swords Dance Shiny Shedinja with good IVs...

Poliwhirl (chain fishing)
Feebas (chain fishing)
Dedenne (Hatched)
Chikorita (SRed from Birch)
Tepig (SRed from Birch)

And these were all traded to me, apologies for the terrible pictures! It would take me quite a while to list them =P

Also some legendaries and other 5/6IV shinies, but they are currently on another game cartridge (X) at the moment! I can provide separate pictures of each shiny if you like, but it will take quite a while.
I am collecting shinies in hopes of being able to hold large giveaways on a different Pokemon forum, and hopefully maybe here too if it is successful c:

Currently I am hunting a shiny Vulpix with the Devnav in AS, I would really love to have a nicknamable shiny Ninetales <3

Thanks G-money and Spritingyoshi22! It was a lot of fun!

And yes, there were 2 days with five shines each - and there were days with 500 horde encounters and 0 to show for it. So you have to take the good with the bad. On some of those days I managed 800ish encounters, which would mean an average expectancy of 3 shinies, so 5 isn't ridiculous. Just like 500 hordes you would almost expect 2, so not getting even 1 is a bit frustrating! Marill is taking a lot longer to MM, over 1000 eggs now with an expected 1/512 rate :( Can't really complain though given how quick Pichu was!
