I've heard this too, something about IVs determining both Shininess and Form and thus only certain forms can be shiny.
I thought IVs only determined the form? o.o

In gen 4 I believe they also determined shininess. I know catching a shiny and calculating it's IVs was the only way to figure out your Secret ID in those games.

EDIT: According to bulbapedia it was generation 2 where IV determined both shininess and form. No mention of some of them not being able to be shiny in any other gen. So it looks possible...good luck. 2 Years of SS and I only have the one.

Good to know it seems possible, thanks guys:)

I know it will be hard, but a complete shiny collection of everyone Seemed daunting at first too. I already have two different shiny unown so that's a start. I used to have about 7 different ones at one point.
I also would have had 2 different vivillon but I was eager to help a certain someone with their collection at the beginning of it:)

Yes, Generation II this was true.

In Generation III and D/P/Plat the room/cave you were in determined the form they took. Each room had four to five of them in there. You could easily shiny hunt or RNG to get them all SHiny.

Hg/SS the mechanic for their form was based on having solved puzzles in the ruins. As you solve puzzles more forms are unlocked. Once again, you can shiny hunt or RNG to your hearts content.

I do believe HP Psychic is best if possible. It gets STAB on that. Obviously nobody is battling with it anyway as it's weak and only learns HP. Also the power rate in previous games is pointless as HP now has a standard power rate of 60 in XY.

EDIT: For anybody trying to RNG Shiny Unown, for the love of Kirk catch them in a Premier Ball!! I will love you forever.

Also I do believe any Shiny Unown are going to be like RingoH's Gen 2 starters in Premier Balls, everybody will want one!! If you can clone that is.

All this shiny unown talk makes me want to actively start the search now. Even though I'm more interested in the vivillon. XD
Suck up to Lugia for Shiny Vivillon. He has the full collection. Myself personally, I'm being an idiot and plan on breeding every Shiny Vivillon form I can on X. Once I get one form I'll change my region, restart and get back to the Daycare. I only need to hatch a 6IV Female before I truly start the process. I already have Females in Premier fully Egg Moved with Compound Eyes. I just need that sweet 6IV.

Also insane considering I haven't hatched a single Shiny Vivillon yet. But it's happening. I will have to trade for the few odd forms my NA 3DS won't be able to region change for. I know Monsoon is one of them.

Got a fun little challenge for you. 0/0/0/0/0/0 Unown with neutral nature just for giggles. (If that's even possible)

My Daily dose of making EV jealous......

I finally managed to get not only one but TWO females out of my HP Breeding (although one does not have the hidden ability so will not be the Mum to any of my breeding):


Eevee
Lvl 1. -- Adaptability -- Female
31/30/31/X/30/31 - HP Ghost


Eevee
Lvl 1. -- Anticipation -- Female
31/30/31/X/30/30 - HP Flying


Eevee
Lvl 1. -- Adaptability -- Male
31/31/31/31/X/31 - Hidden Power Dark


Eevee
Lvl 1. -- Anticipation -- Male
31/31/31/X/31/30 - HP Water

Last but not least.... my first of these to have all 6Iv's be 30 or 31:


Eevee
Lvl 1. -- Anticipation -- Male
30/30/31/30/30/30 -- HP Fighting

My list of Eevee's with Hidden Powers with at least 5IV's of 30-31 is:
Fighting, Flying, Ghost, Steel, Fire, Water, Dark

EDIT: To Add:

All this discussion has me wwwaaaayyyy tooooo tempted to RNG a full collection of Unown.

Too many Pokemon on my wish list.... *sigh*

Didn't take me as long as I feared to get a female HA Fennekin with 3 egg moves. It popped out flawless woooooooo! (I only got one though so no additions to my shop. Darn.) So then I went to start on my next breeding project... HA Vivillion. Of course the first step was to catch the right one. Second thing I encountered on my hunt... shiny Ledyba.

So, yeah. Shinies seem to pop up more often without shiny charm. :p

Even with XY, my random shiny encounters are nonexistant. Zero, nothing, nada. Not a single wild or bred shiny ever. :(

I think that was what brought me into RNG, though. :P

and i will love to see that day
that day is mine

Legitimately, and aside from the shiny Gyarados in the Lake of Rage, and aside from X and Y, then only time I ever encountered and caught a shiny was on my friend's LeafGreen game. As soon as I got some Pokéballs, I encountered a shiny Pidgey on Route 1 (or was it Route 2?)...
It was a long time ago though, and I was kinda bummed that my friend restarted it because he didn't like the name I gave to the player. :P

Aw well~

Anyway, I went back to MM-ing a shiny Eevee while letting both parent Eevees reach lv90+ :P

I've only encounted three wild Shiny. Gligar, Camurupt and Trapinch. I've bred more but I always trade them away. I want Flawless Shiny with my OT preferably in a Premier Ball with Egg Moves. Anything less than that is trade fodder. I'm currently collecting all Unavailable Legendary, EV and lunis have been the biggest help with this so far.

What are you still missing? I still have legendaries that I need to transfer over.


This is the first game i have ever encountered any shinies as well. At least the game has more than made up for it though. Now if only I could get this shiny spritzee to hatch.

The worry over shiny charm.... Has anyone studied how many hours they played BEFORE shiny charm in relation to how many shinies they had? Then compared the same play time AFTER?

On Y I put in 300 hours (ok, 299 hours) before I got my shiny charm, and truthfully not one shiny. I also was not hunting them. I am only at 310 hours of total game time on it now.... although admittedly still no shinies.

On X I am at just shy of 100 hours, and have 2 shinies. HOWEVER:
I have been attempting to complete my Kalos Dex ONLY through in game means(other than Y Exclusives I traded over, and ones that evlove via trade, etc). I am catching ONLY a female of each species, and ONLY catching in Premier Balls. I have had two random shiny encounters.... But I attribute that in part to my hunt for rare species. I spent four hours sitting in one spot sweet scenting for a Lapras.... which kept showing up Male, and the few females would faint themselves. WHen you sit in one spot sweet scenting, running from every encounter that is not what you want, then repeating.... You face many more encounters thus have many more times that you could encounter a shiny. It's just pure odds.

(But I am still not getting SHiny Charm on my X.... although part of that is I am too lazy to do it a second time. Trading everything over would not be enough)

Shinies, huh? I believe I'm about more than 200 hours in and found no shiny... then again, I'm just past the 2nd gym still o.o so I don't really even know what I was doing. o.o

Someone give me a number. I want to know how many Helix babies to put in the Wonder Trade.
