Thanks! I finally got her after 232 eggs! I think I am going to start my October hunt early now! Going after Golurk, Trevenant, Gourgiest, and Absol.
Yoo I just got a shiny today on the 231st egg :P Twinning. Good luck on those October hunts, might join for the Trevenant. Trevenant has one of the best shinies in the game.

But here's my new friend - Shiny Relicanth! It's also a perfect Pokemon too, perfect IVs in all stats except sp.attack, adamant, and Rock Head. Also in a Lure Ball because perfect color match.

Edit: Clearing out the 2 boxes I have left of eggs and I just got a second one on the 249th egg. o.o Thought I got a third for a hot minute but I was reacting to the recording video I took of the first one..that was a moment..

Not the male I was hoping for, but I finally got a pre-3DS full-odds Shiny Sneasel! Caught her in Diamond and traded to SoulSilver where the shorter feather isn't as noticeable.

The back sprite's short feather was still bugging me, so I decided to hunt another one in Gen. II-III where sexual dimorphism wasn't a thing. After months of bouncing between it and a few other hunts, the pink cat-weasel showed up last night!


All female Shiny Sneasel are Talon to me. =w=



This completes my full-odds team in VC Gold! Now I need to get a Shiny Tyrouge (my second favorite aesthetic Shiny) to replace Sneasel in HeartGold, then I might take a break and try getting back into arting a bit.

EDIT: Actually, I got the urge to play XY and now I'm trying for a Shiny Espurr. xP

ugh..... my Heavy Ball shiny Alola Sandshrew breed is finished at last. 2100 eggs for the first, making it my highest egg count yet for a single mon.
And then another 900 eggs for the second, so a nice round 3000 eggs @[email protected]
Evolved one into Alola Sandslash of course.

I've been hunting a Shiny male Espurr on and off for over a year, mainly in Shield, but last month I got the urge to explore Kalos again (as it's been a while since I've played XY) and decided to hunt it in Gen. VI instead. The pink kitty appeared today!

Spoiler:



I named him Len, meaning "brave like a lion." He's a cat and has a Brave nature, plus, with Meowstic's blonde fur, it also evokes images of Kagamine Len. (If I ever decide to hunt a female or just find one by chance, I could name her Rin!) Tempted to change it to Kero though, after the Cardcaptors mascot.

Once I've finished training him and gotten my fill of the Kalos region, I'll probably trade him to AS where I can try to get the Contest Star Ribbon and make him part of my Super Secret Base team.

UPDATE: Changed his name to Kero and earned the Contest Star Ribbon!

It's finally happened!

Behold!

Spoiler:







My beautious third member of the Sinnoh trio has finally shone! So I did make true on my promise of completing the trio before D/P remakes were released, although only barely...

I also got a few wormhole shinies (Abomasnow and Crustle) on Ultra Sun and chained a Croagunk and Skiddo on X. I was just going for living dex when I caught the wormhole shinies.

I am currently doing some Pumpkaboo breeding for Halloween. I may just keep up this hunt so I can free up my X game for other things. Good luck and congrats everyone!

Just finished a pretty fast shiny Love Ball Eiscue breed, 220 eggs. Showed up while I was still filling my boxes up =3

Praise be the pink pengu!
Spoiler:


Game randomly gave me a shiny Level Ball Duraludon while I was breeding roughly 1,5 week ago. Kinda already had a Heavy ball one, but a freebie is a freebie =3
Spoiler:


Hatched 2 shiny Level Ball Eevee's back in early October too. Wasn't sure if I wanted to feed it max soup or not. But the game gave me a second one while emptying my boxes so I just fed one Max Soup and kept the other as is xD around 250 eggs iirc, so was pretty fast too.

I haven't posted here in years! But I'm so excited to get back into shiny hunting, make new shiny hunting friends, and hopefully connect with some old friends.

Congrats to everyone and their recent shiny acquisitions! :D Hopefully I'll be amongst you soon!

Finished my Shiny Lure Ball Shellder breed, 1.200 eggs total for two of them. Evolved one into cloyster. Gotta say I kinda wish Cloyster would've kept Shellder's really nice orange shiny, but the blue ain't bad I guess.

Spoiler:




Also shiny bred a Heavy Ball Galar Daramuka (a mere 150 eggs) and evolved it into a Galar Darmanitan not too long ago:

I do need to breed another Galar Darumaka so that I have the line shiny, but.... BDSP is calling to me =3

I had a feeling this hunt would go fast when I caught my first vulpix in the game with the right nature. ;_; I'm back into shiny hunting hard, bois! I had about 300 SRs on feebas before I switched to this.

110 eggs for shiny vulpix! :D

Hello again gang! Every time I remember this thread I find that years have passed me by since my last post :( For some reason I can't see all my old posts on my profile, but I'm pretty sure it's almost been ten years since my first post on this thread! I used to go by TheShinyEeeveee here and on YouTube ^^

11865 Pearl Swarm encounters
8192 Route 203/Route 204 encounters
1876 Shieldon

I've continued to hunt for the daily Swarm in Pearl when it's something cool (and most days, it is - the Swarmers are awesome!!!), and on days that it's not, I go for Lotad or Shieldon! I was initially hunting Lotad with Sapphire inserted on Route 203, but I've since moved over to Route 204, since it basically swaps out Abra for Budew as an Axiom 22 possibility, and I'd much rather get a shiny Budew along the way than another shiny Abra, haha!

And I have five Shieldon fossils instead of just one, so those SRs go much, much faster than the Anorith ones did! :pink_boogie:

Spoiler:








Major congrats on those shinies!!! I haven't heard of too many people getting shiny Kangaskhan - that one sounds especially rare! :boogie:





Congrats on those shinies! That's some crazy luck with Solosis, haha! :pink_laugh:

Good luck on your Marill hunt! Marill's one of the only shinies where it has a really different shiny scheme than its evolution, but both are amazingly cool! Like, I don't know if I'd be able to pick between having an astoundingly cool shiny Marilll, or an astoundingly cool shiny Azumarill!! :deepthink:



Woot, that sounds awesome!! Dark- and Ghost-types are the coolest, but I've never seen anyone put Absol in there for a Halloween hunt! That's a splendidly magnificent idea, haha!!! Absol's one of the coolest Pokémon of all time (and Mega Absol is probs even top 10!), but I've never thought of it as being a cool Halloween Pokémon. But you're right!! It totally should be, and it totally fits that vibe, hahaha! Best of luck on your October spree!!



Sweet, congrats on the those cool-Balled shinies!!! I'm on #TeamUmbreon myself, but Espeon is, like, the absolutely perfect Dream Ball Pokémon!! You got a sweet shiny in the rarest Ball!!! And Fast Ball fits Jolteon sooooooooo well too, haha! :laugh:



Welcome to the SHC (and PC!), SacredSky! Congrats on all of those shinies - you're off to a great start so far!!! What are you planning on hunting as your first shiny as an official member of the greatest club ever? :laugh-squinted:



Welcome to the Shiny Hunters Club, Quagsire girl!! We're glad to have you join, and I was absolutely shocked to find out that you happen to have the exact same shiny list as SacredSky!!! What are the chances!??? :littleo:

:pink_laugh: "lol" jk! But let us know if you've caught any shinies yet, and what you're hunting now! :nod:
Long time no see (again!) Swarms are such a cool hunt, I should try one when I finish my current Diamond playthrough! I hope you find something or other soon! :D

I had a feeling this hunt would go fast when I caught my first vulpix in the game with the right nature. ;_; I'm back into shiny hunting hard, bois! I had about 300 SRs on feebas before I switched to this.

110 eggs for shiny vulpix! :D

Hey Kitori! It's been a while! Glad to see you're enjoying hunting on these new games - that Vulpix looks so lovely on the new hatching background haha!


I myself haven't found any 1/8192 shinies since I found a Seel in Leafgreen in July of 2017. However, my sister and I planned a replay of Diamond to celebrate the remakes, and I wanted a shiny Chatot for my team, so I hatched one!



Via Masuda method, he took 3448 eggs :)

This inspired a nostalgic kick reading a bunch of my old posts here, and now I'm 1,400 soft resets deep into a Dialga hunt on my new Diamond save file, lol!

I'm not sure how long this shiny hunting stint will last as I'm now an adult with a job (unfortunately!) but I would love to get some cool shinies and reconnect with some old friends!

Winter has brought me ice pokemon. I hunted for a shiny delibird in an ice Pokemon Friend Safari on Pokemon Y. I caught the nice lavender bird, and gifted it to a friend of mine who is an ice trainer, as a gift for the Christmas season. I couldn't help, but at with it awhile in Poke Amie before I traded it awayz this guy is so cute. It has a nice timid nature.

Before I encountered Delibird I also found a nice shiny bergmite and beartic on the ice safari. I might use that Beartic, even though it's shiny doesn't change that much, it's still shiny, and has a nice jolly nature. I remember doing well with Beartic when I used it for a Pokemon Black playthrough, and wouldn't mind battling with one again.

My greatest ice Pokemon find though was shiny Kyurem on my copy of Omega Ruby. I hunted it in the mirage spot post game, the gnarled den, and am very proud of being able to soft reset for it. I don't hunt legendaries often, Kyurem is my second non-event shiny legendary, the first bring a shiny Lugia I hunted on Crystal and gave to a friend for the secret santa event once. I think Kyurem's shiny is the best of Tao Trio. My friend Janp cloned it for me, and I have given some of the clones away to my fellow dragon lovers at Dragon Ascent.

Here's Kyurem. Isn't he beautiful?

My Shield game gave me the Shiny Heavy Ball Galar Darumaka I was breeding for on Christmas 😊

Spoiler:
600 eggs for this boy:


I was just finishing off the Galar Darumaka line breed I already started a while ago before I went BDSP, already had a shiny Galar Darmanitan =3


Additionally, the main reason I went shiny breeding again despite not being done with BDSP is because the game gave me a free shiny Friend Ball Bagon and Dream Ball Galar Ponyta while I was breeding boxes for an event xD
Both have been evolved all the way:
Spoiler:





In between the freebies and the Darumaka I also shiny bred for a second shiny Dream Ball Galar Ponyta to have the line shiny (and it gave me two lol):

Spoiler:
300 eggs for an additional 2 Galar Ponyta's:

I have not shiny hunted much recently but earlier this week I found on my Shining Pearl game:

Shiny Male Rash Togepi (Jubilee)
Ability - Serene Grace
OT - Jennifer

This shiny was found using the Pokeradar on Route 230 whilst EV training a Starmie for Battle Tower.

He was found in a Sparkling patch at the start of a new chain and since I do not have the Shiny Charm yet I think it makes it a full odds shiny.

On Shining Pearl Route 230 has Floatzel, Gloom, Weepinbell, Dustox, Golduck and Togepi as Pokeradar encounters so I did not know what it would be. The Shiny Togepi appeared and the Shiny has a pinker body with the red and blue markings reversed. It is a nice Shiny.

He is now a Shiny Togekiss. Shiny Togekiss is an off-white colour with the red and blue markings reversed. A very lucky find.

Jubilee is my first ever Shiny in Sinnoh.

After 4+ years (on and off), I finally got my Shiny 'rouge!



One of my favorite aesthetic Shinies, if not my #1 (though not so much in the 3D games). I'll try to figure out what to name him tomorrow!

EDIT: I'll probably call him Hikaru (to shine). That's what I'd planned to name him if I got him back when I was watching Hikaru no Go, but I'll want to change my Shiny Luxio's name since it's similar (it WAS going to be Hikaru, but I named him Karu instead since I ended up getting him on a Japanese game). Maybe I'll rename Luxio Akira?

EDIT 2: Found a Shiny Phanpy while leveling up!

The Ultra Wormhole is kinda busted for shinies lol

I originally didn't do it back when I originally played Ultra Sun (I was horrible at the minigame... guess I no longer am rofl), but I've been finishing off my unfinished Ultra Moon playthrough, and at the end decided to just do a couple Ultra Wormhole runs. First three runs each gave me a shiny. After that I just kinda went nuts with, insisting I catch a shiny of every normal mon available, and two for Lombre and Nuzleaf as those could still evolve. And catch everything I bump into while doing so. The result is 72 shinies before I caught the final unique shiny (Floatzel really made me work for it 😤) xD

My latest shiny catch is an inkay I got using the pokeradar playing Pokemon Y. I don't use this method of shiny hunting a lot because it's complicated, and really easy to fail, but I have had some beginner's luck and got ran into this pretty little one on a chain of only 3.

Inkay is a shiny that you don't see a whole lot, but I think it's an especially awesome shiny, since inkay is translucent. The gold tones it gets look really magical. I would name it champagne bubble for the delicate color scheme, but I don't think I have enough characters. Maybe citrine then? She is a girl. Also she has contrary. I will probably not evolve her. I like Malamar, but I think for a shiny Inkay's color scheme is the loveliest, and since her nature isn't great I don't need this Pokemon to be strong, I just want to watch her :)

SR'd a Shiny Cyndaquil this morning! Now I have a spicy eclair. :)



This is my first time getting a Shiny Starter at the beginning of a game, but I traded him to HeartGold where I could go ahead and EV-train him. I prefer Shiny Quilava's more natural shade of brown in the 3DS games, so I plan to transfer him to one of those (probably X). Might wait until I finish my Vanillite hunt though.

Playing X after months of hunting in Black feels so refreshing! I still never got my Gen. V Shiny Vanillite, but this guy popped up in a random horde while I was looking for Bergmite (I already have a full-odds Avalugg in SWSH, but I don't like how it does the camera in those games when used in battle).



I'm not sure if horde Shinies technically count as full-odds (I still see people arguing both sides), but I've been doting on him anyway.

EDIT: Switched over to HeartGold and found a Shiny Drowzee while looking for Nidoran-M.

EDIT 2: Hopped back over to Black, continuing my Gen. V Vanillite hunt, and found a Shiny Minccino. Now I've got a Shiny of every Pokémon on the route except Vanillite. Dx

I don't think I ever joined this club, so let's change that!

Crystal holds very special memories for me, and with the likely shutdown of Pokémon Bank sometime after the shop closes, I wanted to have a go at getting shiny Celebi from the Ilex Forest shrine while I could still send it over to Home.

I'm aware that there have been shiny Celebi events, and that it has been available in Go (I think) but I really wanted one from Ilex Forest in Crystal for sentimental reasons.

I went to see Kurt, gave him my GS ball, then went off attempting to catch shiny Suicune (with that gorgeous Gen 2 sprite) as a warm-up, while I waited for the 24 hours (and then some!) to pass. I found the beautiful creature after around 1000 resets!




Then it was finally on to one of my favourite locations in all of Pokémon, to try hunting the pink onion. This has always been a dream capture for me, so I had to try!

After 11 days, and 3,350+ resets (I think I missed counting a handful), I finally found it, and I'm sooooooo happy!




Both of the above were at full Gen 2 1/8192 odds, so I can't grumble!

Wanted a Shiny Apriball Dunsparce as well as a Shiny Dunsparce to follow me around in Gen. IV again, so here we are—meet Labyrinth!



No EV-training this one. Just wanting to do a casual playthrough with her. :)

I consider Dunsparce tied with Wartortle as my favorite Pokémon, but I don't use it a lot these days. I'm hoping this will change that.

I don't think I ever joined this club, so let's change that!
Welcome to the club, and super hyper congrats on those Shinies!

I never had a legit Shiny Celebi in Gen. II, but I always enjoyed seeing it in Stadium 2 (even if hacked). Too bad VC can't connect to Nintendo Online's Stadium games... :/
