I haven't posted in here since July 2011, wow! I usually RNG abuse shinies, so that's why I spent less time actually hunting.
Sooo XY stripped me of that ability, wouldn't you say? In my Y version, which was only possible with Luke's help :D, my shiny collection includes:
- Fish chained 3 shiny Horsea and 2 shiny Skrelp
- Pokeradar chained 1 shiny Skiddo
- Got a shiny blue Flabebe and shiny Hippopotas from Luke
- Got fish chained Relicanth from Mia and Alomomola from Drakow
- Got a chained shiny Pancham from Keiran
- Got several shinies myself or as gifts (Chespin, Fennekin, Froakie, Eevee, Vulpix, Tyrunt, Trevenant, and Absol) through Smogon's Shiny Value method, but those feel rather cheapened more-so than chaining, hm
... I should work on getting my own shinies, hmph!
SO I completed the National Dex to get the Shiny Charm this month... And I didn't expect hatching a shiny so soon when breeding with English parents! Here's the shiny 4IV Pumpkaboo I managed to hatch today.
