[Pokémon] ~>{*Shiny Hunters Club}<~

Hello everyone! I'm a fellow shiny hunter! I never really thought of myself as a patient person, so until Pokemon X/Y I never even really attempted to find shinies. But now, I'm doing my very best! So far I've got three, and I'm proud of them! I have shiny Politoed, shiny Clawitzer, and shiny Ditto!

I'm currently hunting for shiny Ralts (that mega Gardevoir... ^^), shiny Marill and shiny Magikarp!

EDIT: I also just got a precious little shiny Furfrou from a trade! How exciting!

I totally feel your pain. Chaining is haard! My highest chain was 33 until I broke it. The only chaining I'm good at is chain-fishing... My highest was 40 without finding a shiny, and 20 when I did.

I suck at finding shinies in friend safari... I always get impatient... :3c
 
wow, just now ive got a shiny grumpig from the friend safari!! im still going to try for espurr, but im pretty excited. its so cute qwq
 
Ah, what a drag - I haven't found any Espurr with the hidden ability on the GTS, so I'm probably going to be forced to try again later. If that's the case, I'll progress on Emerald so I can properly hatch for Dunsparce, soon. Unless...

@Muani: Nice one with the Grumpig! Would you happen to have any spare Espurr with the Hidden Ability you'd be willing to give or trade? I can't offer much aside from 31/31/31/X/31/31 Adamant Unburden Hawlucha and 31/X/31/X/31/31 Bold Adaptability/Run Away Eevee, though.

@Hooh54: Congratulations on the captures! Keep going!

@fireflystorm: Welcome aboard! I hope your hunts go as painlessly as possible.

@ghostshot12349: Greetings! Good luck with the Rattata hunt!
 
Aww, Grumpig is sooo cute! Lucky!
Anyway, thank you! May yours be painless as well! ^^

There are 2 types of chaining: Fishing chains and Pokeradar.

If you fish consecutively in one spot without moving, then your odds of getting a shiny improve every time. If you don't get a bite, or fail to land it, the chain is 'broken' and you have to start again. There are a few different things to do to make sure you do well. Here is one detailed explaination:

Chaining with the PokeRadar uses a similar idea - you have to 'chain' together encounters of the same Pokemon. There are different rules, and this one is more complicated:

Any questions let me know, I am planing to make a video guide to both of these shortly :)

Chaining is when you use your PokeRadar to encounter a wild Pokemon (via the shaking patch of grass), then KO that pokemon. That begins a "chain", and more patches of grass will shake. As long as the pokemon you encounter are the same as the first one, your chain will continue! If you run into a different pokemon or one outside of the shaking patches of grass, your chain is broken. The higher the chain, the higher the likelihood of catching a shiny!

The same thing with fishing. If you reel in a pokemon, KO it, and keep fishing in the same spot without moving, you'll get a chain. But if you reel it in too slow or too fast, or get the "Nothing seems to be biting" text, your chain is broken.

thank you nowis there anyway you can get a pokeradar in leafgreen or is it only gen 4 and up
 
Quick question: If we catch something like a Scatterbug, which isn't a flying type, and evolve it into a flying type, such as Vivillion, does that count as a 'flying' type for the monthly challenge?
