I don't think I've posted these yet. WHY HAVEN'T I POSTED ANY OF THESE YET? They were all full-odds encounters --
that's the best kind!
1.) First up is probably the rarest Pokémon I've ever had a full-odds encounter with. I was doing a WonderLocke in X and had just gotten past Victory Road when I figured I should evolve my Sliggoo before taking on the E4. I found a rainy route, stepped into the grass... BAM! The first thing that pops up is a silver
Eevee! *shock*
I had been telling myself for a while that I would evolve my next Shiny Eevee into Flareon, so that's what I did.
(My other Shiny Eevee were MM'd [Glaceon and Vaporeon] or from the Friend Safari [Umbreon and Leafeon].) I named him Chipotle (that's sounded-out like "chip + oat + lay" for those who can't pronounce it). :3
2.) After clearing that, I restarted HeartGold again. Found a Shiny
Pidgey in the grass right outside the eastern National Park gate. Funny thing is that I found a Shiny Pidgey in the exact same patch in the original Silver Version that got wiped-out when my internal battery dried up. Same gender, too (female). Reclaimed Shiny!
Although I could've used her as a Mega Pidgeot, I decided to only evolve her by one stage because I think Pidgeotto looks cooler than Pidgeot. I named her Imalia.
3.) I was on a roll resetting games for Shinies, so I did it again with Black Version. I didn't find anything during the initial play-through, but I found something nice when looking for the Seven Sages in the post-game: a Shiny
Chimecho at the Abundant Shrine! I named him Calem.
4.) Time to reset Platinum! I absolutely refused to use Fly in this play-through and risk passing up a potential Shiny. My stubbornness paid off when a Shiny
Marill popped up!
His name is Dylan. I'm pretty sure I won't evolve him, but I might give in eventually. I don't dislike Azumarill, but Marill is a little cuter and more nostalgic. I remember having a Marill backpack and lunch box way back in 4th Grade.
5.) LeafGreen. I didn't find anything during the initial play-through, but I kept running around the region desperately trying to find something before I started having Shiny withdrawals. Finally found a Shiny
Caterpie in Viridian Forest. My grandpa gave me a really weird look when I screamed "Whoo! Shiny Caterpie!" ._.
Butterfree was pretty high on my wishlist at the time -- Lucky! Not so lucky was the fact that she had an Attack-boosting Nature, but I still treasure her. Her name is Clover. I think I'll keep her in the Gen. III games where Bug- and Flying-Type attacks were always Physical.
6.) And lastly, Ruby. Again, nothing during my initial play-through. However, on my way to Pacifidlog Town during the post-game, Shiny
Tentacool! I named him Roger (as in "Jelly Roger," get it?) and evolved him into Tentacruel. He's currently hanging out with Clover in LeafGreen where I'm hoping to stumble across another Shiny by the time I get him to Lv100.

I also SR'd a Shiny
Omanyte (Seth) in AlphaSapphire, but it's not full-odds since I had the Shiny Charm. Also chained a Shiny
Volbeat (Ethan) in Pearl.
I totally agree with Superstrength - those are really fantastic stories!!! Awesome shinies, awesome nicknames, and awesome adventures!
A little while ago I managed to breed a shiny timid froakie with torrent and starts in everything but special attack
Sweet, huge congrats!! I tried for a really long time to get a shiny Froakie, but I still haven't been able to get one yet! Double congrats for getting one that's managed to elude me, haha! {XD}
Found my third shiny Clamperl which I will evolve into Huntail. While I was fishing for Carvanha or Sharpedo to get a Deep Sea Tooth, I found a shiny Feebas.
Caught a shiny Krabby in a friend safari.
Nice, congrats on those shinies! Are you thinking about making a Water team for the Yearly Quest?
Haha! Thanks for such a warm welcome! It is a pleasure to be here and I enjoy seeing the success of the members of this group. I guess I will give a short update on some shiny activities.
Current Hunts:
- Shiny Heatran (Soft Reset)
- Shiny Surskit (Masuda Method)
Pokemon Y:
- Shiny Geodude
Well, I was using the Masuda method to breed the shiny Surskit when I thought I would take a quick break on hordes. I didn't use any particular Pokemon and only had the Flame Body Talonflame in my party with something that can summon hordes (Shiny Victreebel). I found this shiny Geodude in under 20 encounters yet the other Geodude's weakened it with Magnitude and it was eventually killed by my flame body... Man when abilities decide to work!! The tragic moment happened on my birthday and will be uploaded on YouTube soon.
Pokemon Alpha Sapphire:
- Shiny Latios
This minty fresh Pokemon appeared to me on a Friday afternoon after my final exams were over. It is a great way to start my weekend and to end my exams. This Pokemon took 9004 runaway's to finally capture in its shiny form. I also completed 108 soft resets amongst the runaway's but they didn't come in use to find the shiny. This video is almost ready for YouTube also. With this Pokemon FINALLY obtained I hope to finish my soft resetting on Heatran before concurring the elite four.
For anyone who is looking for shinies without the shiny charm, don't give up! It is possible to to and is so worth it to say you found them with full odds. Sometimes it can be a pain but you forget it all when you see your Pokemon gleam with the sparkles and that altered spectrum.
Good Luck everyone and thank you again for accepting me in this group!
Hi guys, I guess I will keep this week updated.
Pokemon Goals:
- Shiny Heatran (SR)
- Shiny Totodile (SR)
- Shiny Craindos (MM)
New:
- Shiny Surskit
I eventually bred this after 12 boxes of Masuda Method. I really love this shiny because its colour scheme is unique and fitting for the Pokemon which is why I used the Masuda Method, because I was so determined to find it.
- Shiny Skorupi
I was watching ProperGoodGamer on Twitch and he challenged the chat to find this Pokemon before him. Guess who won xD
- Shiny Nosepass
This one was encountered in a horde after GhostBGN obtained his shiny Cresellia on his Twitch. I have been watching Twitch more often as it seems to be a charm or distraction for these shinies.
Good luck on your hunts!
Latest Update.
Current Hunt:
- Shiny Lugia (SR)
- Shiny Houndour (MM)
- Shiny Geodude (must redeem my lost one!)
Pokemon Alpha Sapphire:
- Shiny Heatran
This was the fastest soft reset EVER for me. It was on 999 resets. She is beautiful :)
Pokemon Y & X (BACK TO BACK SHINIES)
- Shiny Ponyta and Flababe
I was looking for a shiny Slugma and completing the dex at the same time on different consoles. I found a shiny Ponyta on Pokemon X in the friend safari and at the same time a random encounter appeared on Pokemon Y and it was a shiny Flababe. I have these shinies already so it was REALLY disappointing. For a random encounter it HAD to be a Flababe. I literally have every colour of them shiny as well as a shiny Forges a spare white one and now another yellow one. This has got to be the worst random encounter ever.
Edit:
- Shiny Slugma
I finally got the Slugma in the friend safari :)
- Shiny Geodude
I was also able to redeem my shiny Geodude in a horde of 31. I have lost a shiny Geodude before
here. This time there was no magnitudes involved!!
- Shiny Hoppip
This was a random horde after 100 induced ones and sadly I wanted the Psyduck but there is nothing wrong with two of the same Pokemon am I right :)
Sweet, huge congrats on getting...*counts*...ten shinies during your very first week in the club! Your fantastic entrance continues, "lol." And I'd be totally thrilled about getting two shinies at the same time!!!! That's amazing!!! Do you know what the odds of that happening are!???!?!?!?!?
I found a shiny Roselia today via Dex Nav, it was about 30 encounters.
...
Edit: 9/15 I'm not sure how chaining works via Dex Nav, if a chain continues if you turn the 3ds off. I did about 40 dex nav's for Illumise and turned the 3ds off. Then later on started again and found a shiny Illumise on the first encounter.
Just found my first shiny from a horde in Omega Ruby. I did 27 hordes on Mt.Pyre and found a shiny Meditite. The search level was 64.
I was actually watching a recording of a stream on Twitch where at the same time the guy found a shiny Meditite in a horde I found one in real life.
Today while doing some chain fishing I got another shiny Basculin at a chain of 281.
I found a shiny Meditite in Friend Safari today at 294 encounters. I evolved it into Medicham.
My last shiny was actually Meditite in a full odds horde in Omega Ruby.
Both are female.
This is actually my first FS shiny since Petilil.
Been looking for shiny Breloom and Shroomish recently, hit 500 Friend Safari encounters and 400 Dex Nav encounters but no luck.
However I did discover two shinies, they weren't really hunted though. I traded someone a Porygon-Z for a shiny Sceptile on the GTS.
And I was looking through my living dex on Pokémon Bank and noticed a red star next to Togekiss. Hadn't noticed it before. I GTS'ed a lot of the fully evolved Pokémon that evolved via rare stones.
I checked the summary, apparently they got the egg on Jan 17th, 2015 and hatched it April 11th, 2016. Then they leveled it to 47.
No idea why they traded it for my level 1 Cleffa.
Congrats on the continued shiny success, Maserati!! You're really making a run at the title
"Greatest Shiny Hunter of Our Time"!! {XD}
I love how that egg was hatched so long after it was made. I've definitely done stuff like that in my games, especially when I switch over to different games to hunt for a while and totally forget about my other ones, "lol!"
