Yay!

This one took a while to get. First I had a Chain of around 450 encounters and random odds being random no Shiny.

Then I had a Chain of exactly 100 and on the 100th encounter at a search level of 535... Shiny Buneary.

She is female (Yay for Gender luck), Level 59 with a Naive nature and Fake Tears Egg Move. I plan to use her in Contests as she learns Healing Wish as a Level Up. When she evolves I will use the Lopunnite.

The Buneary line is a Shiny I have wanted for a while now and it is a bonus she is female.

Other Shinies

Shiny Male Cottonee - From the GTS for a Tornadus. A great Shiny and nice to have a second Shiny Cottonee.

Shiny Female Espeon - From a Wondertrade Giveaway. I like the Green Colour here. Reminds me of Carbuncle from the Final Fantasy Games.

Shiny Male Skitty - For a random Delibird on the GTS. The Red colouring is nice but I plan to evolve him into Delcatty which is an excellent Shiny.

Shiny Female Delibird - From a giveaway on this very forum. The Purple colour works really well here. :)

Next Hunt - Lotad on Route 102.

I've entered Challenger's Cave in Black to begin hunting for shiny Sableye, although I expect this to take a while, what with the 1/81920 chance and all! {XD}

Huge congrats to Paulthagerous, CharmedGardy, and Spoonacross for, like, a gazillion shinies over the past month!!! You guys have really been tearing up the shiny trail - way to go!

It's now December, the best month of the year! You know what that means...

The December Monthly Quest: The Frozen Tundra!!

To complete this Quest, you must find three shinies:

1) An Ice-type shiny!
2) A Grass-type shiny!
3) A Normal-type shiny!

Completing this Quest within the time allotted will give your region official recognition of having a slippery Frozen Tundra!!!!!!! The Frozen Tundra is even outfitted with an elevator to reach the lower Frozen Tundra depths, and a Normal-type Pokemon is hiding in the elevator!

Complete this Quest to make your region really cool! ^_^

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

The contest lasts until midnight EST on January 7th, 2016.

Good luck and have fun!

Welcome to the SHC! Congrats on those shinies and I hope you find many more! :)

Wow! Back from a long hiatus.
Haven't updated my findings here in awhile so I'll start now~

I bought yet another copy of Pokemon X because I didn't feel like restarting my other ORAS/XY files for soft resetting starters/legendaries/etc.

ANYWHO. I managed to soft reset myself a Shiny Fennekin!
Spoiler:


It only took a few hours total, but it was totally worth it.
Welcome back! I had no idea Shiny Fennekin looked so awesome! And I totally understand the effort going into SRing one. I have over 4000 SRs for Froakie, and those things take forever!!!! Each SR feels like so many minutes, so finally getting one is a huge accomplishment. Congrats!

So last night my drought has finally ended. I have hatched a shiny beldum, 4iv.
Whooo, congrats!

That is awesome! I'm currently breeding Eevees to practice breeding and hoping that one of them will turn out shiny
Good luck! Are you going to use Everstones to breed down the Natures you want, or are you going to surprise yourself with getting a random Nature?

I plan to use her in Contests as she learns Healing Wish as a Level Up.
Using shinies in contests is a really good idea! I hadn't thought of that, but imagine the looks on the faces of the crowd when they see an amazing shiny show up on stage! :pink_disbelief:

I have finished the yearly quest :) WOOT WOOT!

Dude, that's amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats!!!!!! Way to go - you're truly an incredible shiny hunter - a legend in our midst! You've completed the Yearly Quest with a whole month to spare!!

If anyone has any suggestions or ideas about next year's Quests, feel free to post here in the thread for discussion or message me! Did you guys like the tier system? Were the Monthly Quests good targets, or was getting three shinies in a month too much/too little? Feel free to let me know what you felt and we can talk about improving the format for next year if anyone has any suggestions or changes they'd like to see!

Thanks, though really if anyone is leaving the yearly one this late they will need some good luck!

Tier system was cool, but I know for me shiny hunting is seasonal due to motivation and real life, so maybe not 3 per month. Here is my idea for next year (feel free to modify of course!):

Yearly Quest - Gotta Catch Em All - Catch 30 (1 Box full) shiny Pokemon - No Chaining/FS
OR
Catch 60 (2 Boxes) - Chaining/FS allowed

And instead of monthly quests, do quarterly quests (3 months each) where you have to make a team of 6 with some theme:
  • All same type
  • All different types
  • Same as a Gym Leader/E4 (If they had a team of 6 they in any of the games - including rematch)
  • All 3 stages
  • All megas
  • All one stages
  • All evolve with stones
etc

Hooray!

I was Dexnav Chaining for a Shiny Gothita and on a Chain of about 280 Shiny Female Ralts appears.

Now a Shiny Female Ralts is a Shiny I have wanted for a long time but since I wasn't actually looking for one I did not see if it had notorious Shiny losing move Memento or Teleport. The Ralts was at Level 28 and whilst I did not see the sparkles the blue colour was unmistakable.

I looked in the bag and I had no Quick Balls. I threw an Ultra Ball, 3 shakes and out it popped. The Ralts then used Calm Mind. My Pokémon Azumarill was out of moves and I didn't want to risk switching my Hypnosis Gardevoir in and maybe missing with said move...

Knowing I didn't want to lose a Shiny form of my favourite Pokemon (Gardevoir) I threw my Master Ball. Turns out the Ralts did not have either Memento or Teleport in her Moveset...

I named her Rebecca, she has a Naive Nature and three perfect IVs (Atk, SpDef, Speed)

I maxed her Affection and won every Hoenn Contest with her as well as getting her into the Hoenn Hall of Fame at Level 85.

For me Shiny Mega Gardevoir may well be the best Shiny in the entire game and it is great I have one I caught myself. :)

Shiny Female Lotad(Lola) - Found DexNaving on Route 102 on a Chain of 130. The Purple colour of the Shiny surprised me. She is now a Shiny Ludicolo which is actually a Great Shiny. I like the Green Contrasts here.

Next Hunt - Shiny Gothita (So far 550 Dexnav Encounters and counting)

I hit a stroke of luck on WonderTrade earlier this week, with 3 shinies! Milotic, Chespin, and Flareon!

In terms of shinies I obtained on my own, I got a Zubat in a horde encounter, a Barboach by chain fishing, and a Ivysuar in a Friend Safari!

I am content.

Thanks for the suggestions! But "lol," I think 30 shinies in a year is crazy hard! I know you did it in a month, but I'm not sure anyone else even comes close to that many non-chained/FSed shinies in a year! I know that the Quests should be challenging, but I think that 30/60 is a bit much for non-Paulthagerous shunters! :laugh:

Or maybe 30 is reasonable? I might just be super behind, "lol."

I like the idea of 3-month Quests, since you can still take breaks and do all of the Quests! It was pretty much impossible to do the monthly ones and be free for all 12 months of the year, so this might make it possible for people to set personal goals of completing all 4 or something!

Woot, congrats!! Way to go on getting your favorite shiny!!!

I'm really in a shiny hunting mood recently. When I've sorted my new room out and unpacked some stuff I'm gonna start breeding for shinies again! 8)
Congrats on getting a new room! Any ideas on what the first shiny you'll breed for will be?

Yesterday I caught myself a shiny marowak in a friend safari. Named him greeny
So last night I was able to catch myself a shiny cobalion. I got it at around 500-ish sr's.
Congrats on those shinies! "lol" at your nickname - my shiny Electrode is named Blue! {XD}

This years one required 25 by my count, including 6 legendaries (which you have to SR for) and SRing takes a LOT more time than horde hunting (take it from someone who has done both extensively!). But if you wanted to make it 30 include chaining/FS that would work as well, as both those methods are pretty easy/quick. AFAIK I am the only one who did the yearly quest, so maybe an easier one would be a better idea?

Here be Grass Shinys.

Shiny Male Phantump (Forestanian) - Found in Petalberg Woods whilst DexNaving for Shiny Shroomish on a Chain of around 60. Phantump's Dexnav search Level was just 9.

He has 3 IV's (HP, Defense, Speed), a Careful Nature, Natural Cure Ability and was caught in a Dusk Ball. I had never seen a Shiny Phantump before so was very pleasantly surprised to see him pop up with the blue eyes and Orange leaves. He is now a Trevenant which is a great Shiny. It reminds me of a Zombie Tree. :)

Shiny Female Nuzleaf (Karen) - Found whilst wandering around Friend Safaris. I like the Red on this Shiny. She has 2 IV's, a Hardy nature and caught in a Premier Ball. Now a Shiftry which is an understated but good Shiny.

Shiny Male Lotad - Found during a chain of over 200 whilst looking for Gothita. He is now a Ludicolo. It is nice to see the Gender differences on the dancing Pokemon. I now have a Shiny form of both Genders.

The wait for Shiny Gothita continues, 751 encounters and counting.

Shiny Male Bulbasaur - For a Stantler. This the season of giving it seems. He is cute to play with in Pokmon Amie.

Shiny Female Sneasel - Obtained in a trade for a spare Shiny Eevee I had. I actually really like how the colours go on this one. The Pink and yellow work really well I think. It is a bonus it is female.

Shiny Female Clamperl (Pearl) - Caught Chain Fishing on a Chain of around 30. I am pleased I did not find a fourth Shiny Remoraid. Whilst Clamperl is a good Shiny I evolved her quickly into an elegant yellow Gorebyss.

Next Hunt - Shiny Shroomish in Petalberg Woods.

I have a Shiny Oshawott I got in a trade. He is very cute in Pokmon Amie. I don't think I will ever evolve him. :)

Chain Fishing is probably the quickest way to get Shinys for me but the options are limited. The best Shiny from Chain Fishing may be Dratini which can be fished in XY. My best Chain Fishing find is probably Staryu. One of my favourite Shinys.

Dexnav Chaining is pretty good as well but there is a chance you can chain for hours and get nothing or get something you don't want.

I got very lucky though with getting Ralts and Phantump whilst looking for other Pokemon. My favourite Shinys have come from Dexnav Chaining.

Friend Safari is said to be great for Shiny Hunting but I have limited luck in it although somewhat Fittingly all but one of my Friend Safari finds have been Grass Types. :)

I have never Masuda Methoded a Shiny but as Roselia is so hard to chain I may try Hatching eggs for a Shiny one in the New Year. :)

I evolved my Oshawott into Samurott and he is gorgeous. I find the de nav chaining very slow so I've decided to dex nav for shinies when I complete the game. And I've never tried chain fishing... On X I may take a break from breeding to try shiny hunting with the pokeradar. Seeing as I am breeding an awful lot I usually just hope that something will turn out shiny

I think Shiny Dewott is purple, not sure about Samurott. Thing is for me Oshawott might be too cute to evolve.

I have tried Pokeradar but am yet to find a Shiny by that method (Unless you count a lucky chain breaking Shiny Gulpin).

Dexnav can be slow if you are in a spot with many small patches of Grass but if you have a reasonably sized patch it goes quickly. Dexnav Chaining on water and caves I have never tried (The Dexnaved Pokemon move).

Leaving DexNaving until post game is a good idea as many more Pokemon become available such as Zorua on Route 101.

I am not a competitive player but Masuda Method is the best method for getting competitive shinys.

Shiny Samurott is a darker blue with sort of pink highlights. I think it is a gorgeous shiny.

I've found using the pokeradar really difficult because my chain always breaks...

I've been hunting for a shiny Delibird in the Friend Safari but no joy yet. I'm not enjoying it as much as chaining or horde encounters as with those methods, chaining especially, I feel like I'm actually hunting rather than just wandering around and hoping the next encounter will be the one! If I'm successful however I'll probably change my mind!

Yowser! I guess that's why it's called Wonder Trade.

During an Hour of Wonder Trading yesterday I was traded a Shiny Latias. I really like the Yellow colour and White colour scheme here although am not a big fan of the Green Mega.

She has an Adamant nature and whilst not a fan of using Legendaries, Latias is my Favourite Psychic Legendaries and will be great fun to use in Contests. :)

Shiny Male Sandshrew - Obtained on the GTS for a Dialga. Whilst generally not a fan of Green on Shinies I think it works surprisingly well here. I may evolve him into a Red Spined Sandslash.

Shiny Male Mudkip - For a mere male Axew. The Purple works well here. He is very cute in Pokémon Amie and I don't think I will evolve him.
