6th Gen 2 shinies in one horde FIRST LIVE?

[LuxuryLuxray]

I'm not sure if I should post this in an own thread or not, but IF THIS IS WRONG JUST TELL ME.

So, apearantly I'm the first one to ever record a live double shiny encounter in pokemon X and Y o - o
Since I'm a new member I can't post links, so just search for "LuxuryLuxray" and you'll find the video! It's the Zubat video

I saw an ingame screenshot that contained five Shiny Starly in a single horde.

Though whether or not that was hacked, the odds for finding five shiny Pokemon in the same horde are rarer than that of winning a lottery jackpot.

 

[LuxuryLuxray]

The odds for finding TWO shiny pokemon in one horde is 1/838 860,8
Three is POSSIBLE, but 4 and 5 is INSANE

Could you please try embedding this video, Luxray? It's great that you've run into two shinies at once; don't think I'd ever be as lucky to do such a thing, haha.

I think he meant this video here.


I'll watch it later after lunch. ^^

 

[LuxuryLuxray]

Yeah, that's the video!

I'm not able to post links yet /:

Wow that's extremely lucky! nice job! Too bad you can't catch both

 

[XtinaIsMeLuvinWWE]

You lucky thing!! :) That reminds me of my first shiny - a Golbat in Pokémon Diamond haha :) I wonder if shinies are less rare when it comes to hordes then? Either way thank you for sharing! :)

 

[acatfrommars]

Wow, very lucky. I'm happy to find one shiny in a horde, if I saw two I wouldn't believe it!

 

[LuxuryLuxray]

The chance of finding a shiny has dropped to 1/4096, and in a horde battle you meet 5 pokemon at the same time, so the chance is 5/4096 in a horde, which also means 1 / 819,2

The chance of finding two is 1 / 838 860,8
The chance of finding three is 1 / 1 144 457 789,44
The chance of finding four is 1 / 2 343 849 552 773,12
The chance of finding FIVE is 1 / 960 040 776 815 699,52

Yeah, it's realy lucky that I got to meet 2 shinies p o p AND that I also had my camera on when I did!

They're not but it's faster to find them because you're encountering Pokemon five times as fast.

Ahh thank you, it makes more sense when you explain it like that :)

Wow! You've a great luck. Congratulations for your shiny Zubat... I need to play Pokémon XY and find a shiny Pokémon.
