I have so far captured 8 shinies in my current X file - Clauncher, Woobat, Miltank, Remoraid, Miltank, Drifloon and Flabébé (orange flower). All except for Flabébé were random encounters, while she was Poke Radar'd.

I started Y in Oct 2013 and found my first shiny, since Gyarados in Crystal, on Mar 3, 2016. It was a random encounter, I was in Lost Hotel looking for a Magneton to breed with my other Megneton for Magnemite for my National Dex. Didn't know that when the guy says "Don't seem to get along" they can still have an egg. Ditto and others usually got that message. Ran into 10 Pawniards and left, changed my mind on leaving and ran back in and it was the first encounter.


My second was a Geodude in a hoard in Victory Road, I did about 10 sweet scents and found it on Mar 24th.


My 3rd was my first fish chain shiny, I went to the middle of the lake and got 97 reels in and found Corsola. I definitely now find areas close to edges but that luckily worked. I also found 2 Basculin looking for Poliwhirl.
The next day on the 26th I fish chained 6 shinies, first Goldeen at 20, then Corphish at 17, then Magikarp at 7. After was Corphish at 30, then Magikarp at 23 and finally Goldeen at 37.
The next day, found Poliwag at 56. Had previously gone over 100 encounters looking for Poliwhirl twice.


On the 31st I found a second Geodude, this was a random encounter.


On April 10th I did my first Friend Safari shiny hunt, found Phantump at about 100
Then on the 16th found Teddiursa at 210
On the 17th found Ponyta at 42
On the 18th found Meinfoo at 45


On the 25th I decided to use my Y in my 2DS and was able to enter my friend safari as Y was connected to my 3DS. Found a Venomoth for my national dex and was riding towards to exit and had one final encounter and it was shiny Venomoth. Maybe 12 encounters.


There's been 2 incidences where I hit the A button during fish chaining without hearing or seeing the mark/ding and a fish catching the line at the exact moment, theyby not breaking the chain. Neither of these lead to shinies. Mostly just muscle memory and luck.

I still have zero shinies, even though I played through more than half of my old Platinum cartridge and have completed X :( And this is with excessive chain-fishing/Poker-Radar-ing. I'm really jealous of people who just randomly find them; I'm going to be Masuda breeding and checking my Friend Safaris next, because I've only briefly went down those routes.

Had a bit of crazy luck today in Friend Safari. Found a shiny Espurr after 7 encounters. Then did about 20 more encounters in that safari and left.


Stepped into a new safari and found a Drowzee on the very first encounter. Got both easily, so far the Chansey has been the most difficult to catch, she cost me multiple 1000s of pokedollars in pokeballs. These each only took 1 quick ball.

I've lost track at how many shinies I caught in Y version and there's now too many for me to list, but I remember that the first shiny I ever caught in this game is a Dragalge I found from chain fishing. The first shiny I caught in the friend safari is either Lampent or Ariados and the first shiny I found with the Pokeradar is Skiddo. The only shiny I ever got from Masuda breeding so far is Cyndaquil which only took me 48 eggs.

I only ever had two failed attempts at catching shinies in this game which were a Basculin using Final Gambit and an Ivysaur knocking itself with Take Down after I used False Swipe.

Back in 2014 I decided I was going to commit to trying to find a shiny Mareep in a horde, I was really astonished when I got it in about 10 minutes! Just goes to show how lucky I was when it took you months..

Wow congrats! It took me seriously 3 or more months of randomly trying to horde hunt, althought I did finally get her and name her Candy and put her in AS. Much easier to DexNav, imo.

Then again I actually got a shiny Sandshrew in GPX in one weekend by breeding while some people have 10,000+ eggs and nothing still so I can see it 3XD curse you shinies

I don't even remember all of them. I had 2 random encounters though, a shiny Dwebble while looking for Old Amber and a shiny Inkay while getting berries from background trees.

Got a few chain fish ones like Basculin, Skrelp, Goldeen, Remoraid, etc
And a ton of Friend Safari ones (Clefairy, Pupitar, Ivysaur and Frogadier are the first ones that pop up in my mind but I got a lot more.

Oh and I got one horde shiny, a Stunky.

Was the shiny encounter rate higher in X and Y? I caught a Volbeat and hatched a Vulpix and an Inkay. Also saw a Geodude in a horde but it fainted.
Yeah I believe it was cut in half so around 1/4000 chance or something? Then even better odds with chain fishing and friend safari and still the masuda method for breeding, Im lovin it ~w~ And Im sorry to hear I hate when shinies die its so awful :'D
