Hey I would like to join if possible. I haven't shiny hunted much but i have two shines in Omega Ruby which are a Aron from a random Horde and regigigas which was completely random and I got lucky catching it i was just trying to get all of the legends. I am going to be doing a shiny map quest in omega ruby starting with either wurmple or poocheyna because i like bothe of their shiny forms also might do a shiny badge quest in white 2.

5721 Bulbasaur
11598 Johto starters
Enough Moor of Icirrus encounters to make a katamari big enough to be a moon

I've now passed the median on Bulbasaur, the mean on Johto starters, and the Moon on Moor of Icirrus encounters! :P

The June Monthly Quest!!

Happy June!

To complete this month's quest:

Find a Grass-type shiny and a Flying-type shiny!

Chained and Safari Pokemon are not eligible to count for the Quest.

The contest lasts until midnight EDT on July 17th, 2015.

Good luck and have fun!

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...
Awesome!! Good luck getting that awesome shiny Shedinja (and the free Ninjask, too!)! :laugh: I've (still) been hunting for Nincada occasionally, and I've done a few tens of thousands of encounters since 2011, "lol." I might eventually start breeding and race you when I get to the end of my Ghost hunt, but hopefully you'll have had your shiny Nincada for a long, long time by then!

Hello there! May I join this club?
Absolutely - welcome to the club! Congrats on all of those shinies and good luck on your Vulpix hunt!

Hey i havnt posted in a bit .ive got the shiny charm now and its doin its job ive got shiny zekrom,cobalion,azelf,eevee,electrike,whismur and wingull. so im pretty
happy with that. next targets are luxio and dialga
Congrats! Those are a lot of shinies you've gotten, haha!

I've increased the number of REs on my Chansey hunt but other than that not much for me to report:
Zorua (Black): 1230 eggs
Chansey (Diamond): 4100 REs

Good luck on your hunts everyone!
Good luck on those hunts! Zorua's a really cool-looking shiny; hope you get it soon! :)

Level grinding tonight and then SURPRISE this shows up! Pretty awesome.

Spoiler:
Congrats!!

Welcome to the Shiny Hunters Club, Tyler2211!! I'd definitely recommend doing a Badge Quest - they sound really fun and I'll be doing one in FR pretty soon, too! We could race and see who finishes first, haha.

Place your bets! Will G-Money's take years? Decades? Will he even find the starters!? Stay tuned!!

Watch out, Kanto shinies! G-Money will find you!!
...but he's got to get out of Professor Oak's lab first.

Congratulations on all the newest captures, everyone!

Not counting Shinies that I forgot to list I got from when I was away from the club for a long time (a fair few MM'd Shinies on my Y), I've gotten two new Shinies since my last post! I heard about DexNav "chaining" and was determined to get at least one Shiny from said method. I got a Shiny Swablu and, oh yes, a Shiny Shroomish. I, too, have a Shiny-catching Shiny Breloom like all the cool kids, now! The Shroomish actually got both my Adamant Synchronise and Poison Heal! Great success.

Disclaimer: Yes, I know Smeargle is overall better for the purpose, but not getting statused and healing passively every turn is probably worth it on any hunts where I don't need both Heal Pulse and Spore on the same Pokémon.

I acquired both Shinies in an estimated combined 1100 encounters or so, maybe more (multiple 100 chains for each). Two Shinies don't provide enough data to really prove anything, though.

I'm giving a Timid Shiny Vulpix hunt a try now. If I get it, it'll be gifted to a friend. Let's see where it ends up!

The June Monthly Quest!!

Happy June!

To complete this month's quest:

Find a Grass-type shiny and a Flying-type shiny!

Chained and Safari Pokemon are not eligible to count for the Quest.
Hey, OG! (see what I did there?)
I wish you a lot of luck with those hunts; it really sucks to go over median and average hunt times.

I actually have a question here:
Has anyone found a good enough study on DexNav Shiny chances and, if so and it is highly likely that it gives an increased Shiny chance, does it then fall under one of those two categories, likely "chaining"?

Awesome!! Good luck getting that awesome shiny Shedinja (and the free Ninjask, too!)! :laugh: I've (still) been hunting for Nincada occasionally, and I've done a few tens of thousands of encounters since 2011, "lol." I might eventually start breeding and race you when I get to the end of my Ghost hunt, but hopefully you'll have had your shiny Nincada for a long, long time by then!
Ha, tell me about it! My Soul Silver's clock has been running so many hours just for those Nincada eggs, and it'll likely run a whole lot more! I never did manage to hatch a Shiny pre-Masuda Method back in the days, so I have the expectation that this may never happen (or at least not in a feasible amount of time).

On a separate note, I'm a bit sad that Shedinja's two colour schemes got really muted out in Gen VI. Spotting Shiny Shedinja on the new GTS (just for funsies) actually required attention!

Well, onwards to DexNav "chaining" some more Vulpix. I'll be refreshing for more posts!

Hey guys, I'm ThatSlashGuy, but you can call me whatever. I would like to join the club cause being an avid hunter of shinies for quite some time, and just recently deciding to become active on my PokeCommunity account, I feel this club would be a good way to chat with other hunters. In my past I've found a shiny electrike in Emerald, that I migrated all the way to ORAS, and still use to this day. My current goal right now is hopes for breeding a shiny Wingull. Wish me luck!

I wish you luck in that. The worst part about that hunt is it takes ~5 min per reset because you have to save before the team aqua/magma battle, so you have to do that every time. But I hope you get it!

As for me, working on shiny mudkip to finish my hoenn starter trio. I'm at about 500 SRs so far with no luck. Ah well.

Keep trying on that Mudkip, you never know when you could get it. And if you keep trying it, it makes the reaction a whole lot better! Good luck!

Thanks! Torchic took me about 3k, and treecko 12k. So determination is nothing new to me. That purplekip will exist! (I'm at ~1200 SRs now)

7000 Bulbasaur
17181 Johto starters
Enough Moor of Icirrus encounters to convince me that a shroud of mist is hiding all of the shinies there and reducing their encounter probability to an infinitesimal rate that I infer to be nonzero only on the basis of my hopes and dreams of becoming a great shiny hunter who catches historic numbers of shinies and by so doing adds ever more shinies to his banner of shinies in his signature that has endlessly moving icons of shinies gotten in the past but doesn't include shinies caught in the future which is why it isn't showing any Moor of Icirrus shinies right now

After I get these shinies (I'm being very optimistically presumptive, haha), I'm going to go for Squirtle and then Charmander in FR, since this'll be the last time I'll be able to do relatively quick 1/8192 SRs for the Kanto starters. Then I'll Badge Quest with shiny Charmander and hopefully go on a crazy FR shiny spree! {:3}

I've done enough Johto starters that you could count them as three separate hunts and say that all three are over the median! I've seen over 5678 Chikorita, 5678 Cyndaquil, and 5678 Totodile, "lol!" Of any hunt, this is absolutely the one I'd want to go the longest - the SRs are faster here than anywhere else, so 17000 Johto starters are a lot easier than 1000 of some tougher shinies, haha. Of any hunt, this is totally the one I'm okay with being an extreme outlier, "lol!" :cheeky:

Once I get Cyndaquil, I think I'll try to get a Chikorita to play through with and maybe go for a HG Badge Quest en route to getting shiny Rayquaza, the indisputably coolest shiny of all time! :happy2:

*awaits uproar*

After I get a Moor of Icirrus shiny...well, I'll probably get on a hoverboard and do Relic Castle encounters in Black 2 to continue searching for shiny Yamask! My robot army might help me set up the celebration, too! {XD}

Hey, OG! (see what I did there?)

"lol" awesome, OR! :laugh: Thanks!

Congrats on the Swablu and Shroomish and good luck getting Vulpix!

I haven't seen the odds of Dexchaining confirmed, but they appear to be better than 1 in 1000, so we aren't counting them for official quests for now. If they turn out to be the same as regular encountering (although I don't think they are, but I'm not totally sure), we'll start counting them!

Speaking of in-game clocks, my FR is at 47 minutes just from taking a couple of steps after every 25 SRs and resaving. Professor Oak must think that I never thought about what starter to pick, haha!

Hey guys, I'm ThatSlashGuy, but you can call me whatever.

...

My current goal right now is hopes for breeding a shiny Wingull. Wish me luck!
Welcome to the SHC, whatever! :P

Good luck on your Wingull and Latias hunts - Latias is one of the coolest shinies ever! It's probs my second favorite after the unbeatable Rayquaza.

As for me, working on shiny mudkip to finish my hoenn starter trio. I'm at about 500 SRs so far with no luck. Ah well.
Good luck!

k right on ill give it a go
Good luck! Are you going after Latias or Latios?

latios i started it awhile ago but gave up quickly cause i wasnt sure if it would b shiny locked so ill start it again soon ive got alot of hunts goin on at the moment
k does anyone know if some shinies just cant b found in certain peoples games? ive been at luxio for ever mostly chains of 100 to 150 till ive hit 1000 search lvl and not one.
1) The gift lati is not shiny locked. It just takes forever to be able to look because of the battle you have to do first.
2) No. I don't mean to sound mean, if you end up taking this that way, you're just having a bad luck streak. Keep at it. The key to shiny hunting is patience!

You weren't kidding when you said it would take forever. I'm getting sick of the same battle over and over again {XD}. I've debated whether I wanna put that on the back burner, and keep hunting for the Wingull which I might just do.

Is this how to apply for membership?

The current shinies I have are:
Wobbuffet (Honcho), Spinda (Jocelyn), Metagross (this one shouldn't really count, it's the event one that was available to everyone), Groudon (most definitely hacked. Received from wonder trade), Palkia (SpaceGod), Tornadus (Boreas), Goomy (Lord Goomy... It's level 100. Thank you, kind soul), Mawile (Lust), Seismitoad, Sceptile (Gewaldro), Ditto (Jublibber), Lucario, Zubat (Bartholomew), Hawlucha (Batgirl), Trubbish, Totodile, Vanillite (Gelato), Rotom (pikachu), Pachirisu, Umbreon, Magikarp (MiniKappa), Emboar (Ganon), Voltorb (Greatorb), Fennekin (Finn), aaand Milotic (Asuna).

The one I'm currently trying to MM for is Yamask. I'm not nearly as diligent as you folk seem to be, because I haven't been keeping a track on how many eggs I'm at now. I've just been breeding a few hours a day for a few days now. It's in the hundreds. I'll go for a Chansey after I get this Yamask, because shiny Chansey looks really weird.

SHINY TOTODILE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"lol" this was my longest hunt ever, with Totodile shining on #22668! This beats my Duskull hunt by 404, but it was much, much quicker since it was a Johto starter, haha.

My other shiny Totodile was on December 24th, 2011, so I guess I've actually been at these Johto starters for a while, haha. I started hunting them on April 15th, 2011, and I still haven't found Cyndaquil!! "lol"

I've never nicknamed a shiny before, but bill flibby's awesome nicknames made me realize how cool nicknamed shinies are, haha. Meet Cobalt! :laugh:



I'll transfer Cobalt from HG to SS and then get back to the hunt for a shiny Cyndaquil!

Is this how to apply for membership?
Yes! Welcome to the club! I really love your nicknames, haha. Milotic's, Tornadus's, Ditto's, and Goomy's are especially awesome! "lol" at the Rotom named pikachu, although I don't think any nickname will ever be able to beat Runasutaru's shiny Raticate, YLOSWG... {XD}

Good luck on your Yamask hunt! I'll be hunting for one too once I find a shiny in the Moor of Icirrus, if any of the Moor of Icirrus shinies ever decide to let me find them, "lol."

I haven't posted in over 2 months... what's up with that?

Let's see, the last Shiny I posted was Amaura, so here's what I've gotten since then:

Hidden Ability Girafarig (Masuda method)
Female Espurr x2 (Masuda method) - already made plans to trade
Male Espurr (Masuda method) - evolved into Meowstic
Joltik (DexNav) - evolved into Galvantula
Friend Ball Dunsparce (Masuda method)
Bonsly (PokéRadar, DS) - evolved into Sudowoodo
Egg Moves Tyrogue (Masuda method) - not evolving

Not sure what I'll try for yet (maybe Yanma?), but I think I'm going to take a break and focus on drawing for a while.

Congrats on all all the Shiny finds and good luck with your future hunts!
