Wow I haven't been here for a while, Congrats everyone on their shiny hunts! I don't know what was the last shiny I had posted but I am just so hyped right now I have to share this amazing moment!

I bought Pokemon Sun and Moon on their release dates and have played through Moon. I had left Sun to soft reset and have been doing it whenever I can. I was initially going for a Rowlet but got one through breeding so I changed it to Litten. I lost track of the number of resets because the counter updated and removed my counter so I lost motivation. I started doing it again this week and I am here organising my folders on my computer whilst singing some songs on youtube when I decide to look over at my screen and realise there has been a shiny freaking Litten staring at me for like 10 minutes :P It pays to be patient and never give up folks! Can't wait to finally play through Pokemon Sun!

Maserati777 would you consider trading one of those extra Nidoran? :P They're so cute!

I finished my Shiny-only run in X, with a final Shiny team of Delphox, Venusaur, Mawile, Flygon, Lapras and Probopass. I started a new ORAS game for the same purpose, and got a Shiny Treecko.
I found a Shiny Trubbish yesterday in X too....I feel bad for it lol

Did all the pokemon that came from the R/B/Y Vc games have their hidden abilities?
Yes, but I'm unsure this is the right thread to ask this question ;)

Sorry, I should have made it more relevant. I was asking because I was thinking of trying to shiny hunt some or all of the Gen 2 legendaries. If it was true for first Gen then I'd assume they'd do for this one.

It's a sad to learn that Entei, Raikou, and Suicune's hidden abilities have been changed though. : / Still I might try this in new playthroughs.

iirc there's no way to get those with HA anyway right? Unless they indeed make every VC Pokémon with their HA. It would be an interesting Shiny Hunt :p

Nope, I don't think there is. That's what I'm hoping for. :)

I can trade a Nidoran.
:o That'd be awesome! You can tell me what you'd like in exchange on my Trade thread if that's okay!

Whew! I've been putting-off the E4 (Gold VC) until I caught my first Shiny and was afraid that it might take a while after losing that Tangela the other day, but the first thing to appear after booting-up the game this evening was a Shiny Weepinbell! I definitely prefer Victreebel over Tangela.

Today I found a 6th shiny Nidoran male horde hunting looking for the female Nidoran. It was 821 hordes.

I added them up and discovered I found 8 shinies in 4,995 hordes. That's 24,975 individual Nidoran, Stunky and Starly.

I'm not sure what percent the female is, I know the Geodude is 7% in Makuhita hordes and it appears in 35% hordes, the female has better odds since its in the 65% horde yet I've found 2 shiny 7% Geodude and no female Nidorans. Ugh.

I'm also breeding for it as there is a 50% chance to get it that way. I've hatched 545 eggs so far.

Today I found 2 more shinies in hordes, both were quick. Unfortunately they were Stunky and Nidoran male....


The Stunky appeared at 116 and the Nidoran 96 later.

That's 10 shinies hunting for the female Nidoran. Really wish there was a horde of female Nidoran with one male available.

Hey, it's been a while since I found any shinies.

I found a shiny Growlithe in a random encounter on Gold, but I failed to catch it because it used Roar.

Fortunately, I managed to do the shiny Ditto glitch so I can get nearly all the Gen 1 and 2 shinies for my living dex more easily. I managed to hatch a shiny Eevee within 4-5 eggs and because I already own the first five eeveelutions, I plan to evolve it into Leafeon, Glaceon or Sylveon when I transfer it to Gen 7.

I cleared Gold (VC) a few days ago and have since been trying to SR a Shiny Tyrogue, taking the occasional break to level-up my recent Shiny Victreebel. I just found this beauty during one of those breaks:



And it's one of my favorite Gen. II Pokémon! <3

New shinies hatched since my last post - Misdreavus, Duskull, 2 Cubones, and a Sableye on Moon, and 2 shiny Klinks on Omega Ruby. I've now hatched shinies of every ghost-type line.

I now have three shiny Chikorita, two of which I will evolve. I just hatched a shiny Cyndaquil on Gold and because I've already got Quilava from another game in my living dex, I just need one more Cyndaquil for Typhlosion.

I gave up Shiny Hunting in Silver, so I drowned my pain in Horde hunting and got a Shiny Murkrow. Also hatched a Shiny Dedenne in Sun!

Pure insanity. I've played a significant amount of Gen. II over the years and, up until the Virtual Console release, had only found four Shinies total in these games. This is the sixth Shiny I've found in VC Gold in under a month! O_O



Not just that, but all the Shinies I've found are Pokémon that I've never found on any game with full-odds. LUCKY!

I've been busy battling and trying to find traders for ashs pikachus that I never checked these other topics buuuut

My pride and joy is my Charizard I hatched in Omega ruby then EV trained and Move Tutored it for battle, it fell short because of IVs BUT THANKK YOU S/M for HyperTraining because now he's my main compadre I bring him with every battle. Whether or not I use him is a different story.

Currently hunting Mareanie, that elusive mon.

Hello! I have a bunch of shinies in my Pokemon Moon game. I don't remember them all off the top of my head, but here's a few:
Gardevoir
Primarina
Umbreon
Decidueye
Goodra
Zubat
Delibird
Grubbin
Toucannon
Buneary
Lycanroc (Midday form)

...All I can remember atm. XD Every single one of them, I bred or encountered via SOS chain myself. ^^ Oh, except a shiny Hypno my boyfriend traded me.

Currently I am starting a new game in Pokemon Sun and I plan to do some shiny hunting in it as soon as I finish the story + dex! I'm super excited. c:

Also can't wait to fill out the dex in the new USUM game I get! (I haven't decided on Sun or Moon yet.)

Oh, since it says to say what I'm currently hunting... Currently breeding Miniors in Pokemon Moon and soft resetting for Totodile in HeartGold. :)

Its been awhile and I've found 19 more shinies. All through friend safari and hordes.

For hordes I've found 2 more Nidoran males, 2 more Stunky, also a second Aron that will be a Lairon. The 8th Nidoran male actually took 2,152 hordes to appear then the 9th was 46 hordes later.

For Friend Safari I found Floette, Grumpig, Bergmite, Metang, Whirlipede, Eevee, Ledyba and Sandile. The Metang caught in 2 balls on half health and asleep.

In addition I got a ton of duplicate shinies including 2 Audino, Mawile, Delibird, Kakuna and Togepi.
