Wow, today I beat my previous record of 4 shinies in one day from last year when I caught a shiny Tentacool fishing and then got 3 shinies in Friend Safari in 33 encounters later on that day.

Only this time I managed to get 5 shinies using 5 different methods.

First I found a shiny Hoppip in 962 hordes, will evolve to Skiploom, then a shiny Grimer in 555 Dexnav's, after that a shiny Forretress duplicate in 113 Friend Safari encounters, after that got Shellder in 33 fish chains and about an hour before midnight I thought I should get back to my Sudowoodo breeding I've been doing since I got Caterpie, especially after I found the 4 shinies and I got the shiny Sudowoodo at 460 eggs, only 10 eggs hatched tonight. Wasn't at all expecting it since Lickitung took 887 eggs and Caterpie took 612 eggs, but I thought what the heck.

I love getting these random bursts of luck, when it happens don't stop hunting. I'm also trying to fill a box on Pokedex Tracker, it goes from Poliwhirl to Shellder and I only need 1 more shiny to fill it in, Magneton, was actually going for it when I got the Forretress, got 2 tonight with Grimer and Shellder.

Woah that's an impressive streak!
Yesterday I only got one Shiny, I will do a Shiny-only run in X and after trying to RNG my starter for 2 days, I finally managed to get that Shiny, Female Fennekin. Aiming for a Spewpa next, because Vivillon is adorable <3

caught two shiny beldums on mount hokulani with wasting nearly 60 balls for each of them. it could be three beldums if the first beldum didn't struggle and ruined the day. i also caught shiny Ditto. currently hunting for shiny cleffa. so annoying that it won't appear even with so many phases done. one week struggling for shiny cleffa isn't worth it at all.

Haven't posted in awhile

After the Kakuna I got a second shiny Rufflet in the Pidgey safari, at 1926 encounters. That's 2 Rufflet's and 2 Swanna's in 2,671 encounters. Hopefully the next shiny I get in this safari is the Pidgey. I'm evolving the Rufflet.

I also dexnaved a second shiny Skitty at 486 encounters. Evolving it to Delcatty.
Finally on the 23rd I got a shiny Nuzleaf in 278 friend safari encounters. Evolving it to Shiftry.

On the 24th I found a second shiny Koffing in only 81 hordes, evolving it to Weezing.
On the 25th I got a duplicate Dwebble looking for a Pupitar in FS in 735 encounters. It's always nice to go overodds for a duplicate shiny....

On the 26th I found my first shiny Eevee in FS at 564 encounters. I was leveling up my Rufflet since the Eevee safari has Audino.

I found 3 shinies today, a Spheal in a horde, started this hunt back when I got the first Spheal in in the FS and continued it today, it appeared at 1,265 hordes. Will probably evolve to Walrein, then dexnav Sealeo later.

Then some crazy luck, I decided to dexnav Diglett, I usually run from the 4th encounter so that I can bypass the fast one at 5, but I forgot Diglett had Arena Trap and had to knock it out. Then the 5th one popped up down the corridor so usually it flees before I can get down there or pops up where I'm standing but this one popped up right next to me, I encountered it and it was shiny. Only 5 Dexnav's today, did 53 encounters when I was Dexnaving for Grimer.
Also found another Nosepass at 357 looking for a Shuckle in FS.


These are the Pokemon who are the banes of my existence, Nosepass, Remoraid, Throh, Kakuna, Illumise, Spinda and Bibarel. Also Skrelp, Magikarp and Basculin.

Also contemplating my next Masuda method hunt, thinking maybe Snorlax or Tauros or Omanyte.

My luck's been crazy lately, since I got a female Salandit first try (now a Salazzle), finally hatched a Tauros, caught a Ditto, Beldum, female Pichu, and two Torkoals (one SOS, the other RE).

I also tried my luck at horde battles, and caught four Gulpins (they wouldn't stop coming), a Scraggy and a Plusle.

Question: What are the odds of getting a Shiny Plusle in a Minun horde?

I've been horde hunting for Aron and Makuhita recently, got 2 Zubat's which I'll evolve into Golbat and Crobat. Hopefully can get the other two now.

I've also been going between 2 FS's trying to get a Shelgon and Pupitar to evolve both.

In the the Pupitar FS I found another Dwebble at 1565. Then in the other FS I found 1 Gabite at 26 and 2 Druddigon. First at 685 and 2nd at 67. With the second I had my first fail, I accidentally hit Earthquake instead of Yawn on my Quagsire... To be honest it was kind of statisfying watching the thing fall to the ground. I kind of wish I had battle effects on. At least my first fail was just my 4th shiny Druddigon and not one I wanted. Also in FS and only 67 encounters so didn't waste too much time on it.

Edit: literally 5 minutes after posting this I get a shiny in the Makuhita hordes, you can already guess which Pokemon was shiny.... 908 hordes.... But seriously it is kind of cool to get the sole species shiny, I know it's not 1% but it's definitely rarer then the other possibilities. And I didn't fail it so thats a plus. Oh well I'll keep going for Makuhita.

Got a New 2DS XL today and curious wanted to know what Friend Safari I had so checked in X.. It's Electric with Pikachu and Electrode.

After about half an hour I found a Shiny Electrode. It has an Impish Nature and it is a Shiny Reclaim as I had a Shiny Electrode blow up on me a few years ago.

I'm still trying for that full-odds Shiny male Burmy in HGSS. I got a Shiny Exeggcute instead last night, which was mildly disappointing, but I'll take her and keep trucking for Burmy.



I plan to evolve her into Alolan Exeggutor and might change her nickname before the transfer if anything better comes to mind. I got her current name from Lepidodendron, an ancient (and massive) tree-like plant possessing a bark texture reminiscent of reptilian scales, but I don't think I like it. (I caught her in a Heavy Ball to reference fossils of these plants.)

EDIT: Changed her name to Belfry (as in bell tower) since Shiny Exeggcute sort of looks like jingle bells and A-Exeggutor like a tower. Much happier with this name!

I hatched a Shiny Fletchling, a Shiny Horsea, and a Shiny Ducklett this week. They all have 4-4 EM, 5 Perfect IVs, and Ducklett is in a Dream Ball &lt;3

Sun - Rebecca

Shiny Female Bagon (Tiamat) - Caught after a SOS chain of around 130. The green color of the Shiny is very striking and I like the orange and green colour of the upcoming Salamence.

She has the Rock Head ability and a Quiet Nature. Whilst a - speed nature is not ideal but special attack boost is nice.

Whilst I was ev training in speed a Shiny Female Zubat (Harley) who has a Lonely Nature and will be evolved into a Crobat.

So, I'm thinking of trying shiny hunting again (only done it once before). Which of the following, in your opinion, do you guys think would be the easiest to get in Pokemon Moon or Pokemon Y (preferably Moon since that's the game I have a shiny charm in)?

Eevee Ralts Shinx Staryu Amaura Vulpix Roselia Nidoran (male)

I would appreciate any help!

You can SOS for Eevee and Staryu, or in Y you can Friend Safari for Eevee. You can only fish chain for Staryu in X. You can horde hunt for Nidoran in Y. Even without shiny charm I recently got a shiny nidoran male in 26 hordes. I've found 4 shiny males actually in hordes to date, trying to get the female.

If you want Alolan Vulpix I think you can sos for it in Sun, otherwise you have to breed for it in Moon.

You can dexnav for Ralts, original Vulpix and Roselia in oras, but you have to breedthem in Moon. You have to masuda for Shinx in both. Amaura can be fossil reset in Y but it would be full odds so masuda in Moon would be better.
Personally I think friend safari, horde hunting, fish chaining and Dexnaving are all easy with or without shiny charm.
I haven't sos'd before but it seems to be easy with or without shiny charm, the same odds anyways. Of course the mechanics of getting ready for a sos hunt don't make any sense to me, I think you need Smeargle or something and leftovers and an Exeggcutor from gen 6 with Harvest.
_________________________________________________________
I'm not sure when I last posted so I'll start with Sept 1st.

I started out the month trying to get Dragonite, Tyranitar and Salamence. During the hunt in FS I got 2 Gabite's, a Dwebble and 3 Druddigon's, failed one of the Druddigon's my first fail. The encounter #'s below don't include the previous shiny encounter #'s in that safari.

I got shiny Pupitar on the 5th after 525 encounters. After 1 Dwebble at 1565.
Shiny Shelgon on the 7th at 80, after 3 Druddigon's, first 685, then 67 (failed) and finally 649. And 2 Gabite's at 26 then 688.
And finally shiny Dragonair at 414 on the 9th. Fortunately no more Gabite's or Druddigon in this safari.

I also horde hunted for Aron (719 hordes), Swablu (98 hordes), Mareep (1636 hordes), Nidoran male (1187 hordes). I dexnaved Torkoal and got it fast at 18.

While horde hunting for Aron I got a Zubat, while horde hunting for Makuhita I got 1 Zubat and 2 Geodude's. The first Geodude at 908 and the second at 441.

I also got a 4th male Nidoran at 26 hordes yesterday, I'm currently horde hunting and masuda methoding for shiny female Nidoran.

Not caught any new Shinys since my last post but Tiamat the Shiny Salamence and Lucian the Shiny Lucario got the Super Battle Ribbon for winning 50 straight doubles battles. With help from the event Shiny Tapu Koko and a regular Garchomp.

Both Salamence and Lucario were caught in SOS battles in their unevolved forms. :)
