By chained pokemon you also mean no dexnav or pokeradar? just so I understand what it means. I might as well take part even though I don't have a region.

I know I haven't updated with my findings, but recently I've had a shiny shuppet, 3 shiny zubats, shiny gastly from hatching, shiny illumise (pokeradar) and shiny audino (dexnav).

 

[Paulthagerous]

Hey! I'd like to join. I own way too many shinies to list, but some that I'm really proud of hatching are my shiny Gligar and Deerling! I got Deerling in like 4 eggs and it really took me surprise. :)

Welcome! I wrote out a list of mine, it's over 100, took quite a while lol!

Whoop! Caught two new Shinies today! A Seaking through chain fishing and had my first success with horde encounters catching a Pusle! ^^ I love Plusle so I'm really stoked about that one! I'm trying for an Octillery with Suction Cups now!

Good job! I find Hordes a good way (with shiny charm) - pretty reasonable success rate (as far as shinies go anyway!)

Congrats!! I had no idea he looked that cool, haha!

Thanks, I think he looks pretty cool. Over 1500 ecounters for next shiny legend and nothing, he came a little early so only fair if this next one takes a little longer....

AFAIK, dexnav and pokeradar are both counted as chaining

After coming up empty in Hoard Battles and the Friend Safari, I went back to the trusty and heavily Shiny giving Kalos Route 8. Half an hour later...

Shiny Staryu - I really like the colour scheme on this one. The white body and the sky blue gem make for an excellent Shiny. Staryu is one of my favourite Shinys. I have nicknamed it 'Misty'.

I am not a huge fan of Shiny Starmie so may take a leaf out of Ash Ketchum's book and leave it unevolved.

Next Hunt - Wailmer in Alpha Sapphire

Congrats! Staryu is very cool, and I would also have a dilemma as to whether or not to evolve it!

Managed to get this, 2750is SRs but finally:

Oh my gosh that is so much effort! But it is truly beautiful!! ♥

I caught a shiny Remoraid but it had the wrong ability so tried again and got the one I wanted so evolved it into Octillery. I am thrilled with him, called him Ernie, and he makes me smile every time I send him out! With his help I caught a shiny Magikarp!

@Paulthagerous

Congratulations on the Shiny Virizion. It is a great colour but I am unsure if I will ever have the patience to soft-reset for a legendary particularly as I only have the Shiny Charm on X. I remember reading once someone spent 3 years soft-resetting for a Shiny Mewtwo which he got in the end.

@Spoonacross

Congratulations on the Chain Fished Shinys. I have a Shiny Remoraid with the right ability too but I haven't evolved him as I am not a fan of the Strange Green Colour of the Shiny. I use a regular red Suction Cups Octillery to help me chain fish.

Here are my latest Shinys on X.

Shiny Male Alomonola (Fandango) - Took about 40 minutes of fishing to get this guy. A Female would have fitted better but the Purple with Green Eyeshadow is a nice Shiny.

Shiny Male Relicanth (Brock) - Caught at the ever reliable Kalos Route 8. Only took about 10 minutes of fishing. The Green and the paler brown is a nice Shiny.

Shiny Male Luvdisc - Amazingly considering how much chain fishing I have done this is my first Shiny Luvdisc. Took about 10 minutes of fishing on Kalos Route 8. The Yellow is a nice contrast to the usual Pink. That's three male chain fished Shinys on the bounce.

Shiny Female Gothitelle - Grabbed off the GTS. I really like the somewhat spooky Purple and Pink colour scheme it has. It has its Hidden Ability Shadow Tag too. Gothitelle is one of my favourite Pokemon and I am delighted to finally pick up its Shiny. :)

Next up - Over to Alpha Sapphire to find a Shiny Wailmer.

Nice! I like your nicknames!

I just got a shiny Relicanth too, the colours are so nice!

Now I'm trying for a Wobbuffet by DexNaving in the Safari Zone in AS, hoping for a female!

With soft resetting, do you think it can harm the 3DS if done over and over? That kinda worries me a bit...

I nickname all Shinys I find myself that I am going to use. :)

Shiny Relicanth is a great Shiny. According to Bulbapedia the colours of Shiny Relicanth are based on the real life Indian Coelcanth.

I found a Shiny Abra (Nostradamus - Now Shiny Alakazam) in Friend Safari once but am yet to find anything by DexNaving.

I don't think Soft Resetting can harm a 3DS as long as you are not too heavy handed. However I have never tried Soft-Resetting for a Legendary.

Nice, that's quite a few new ones! While 2750 sounds like a really big number, that is 1/6 the odds of SRing a shiny pre shiny charm in the older generations. Some people were over 30k to get what they wanted!

I vaguely remember TheShinyEevee was doing Random Encounters to find something and went well past the 30k mark. S/he got a few other shinies, but kept going for the target one :)

With soft resetting, do you think it can harm the 3DS if done over and over? That kinda worries me a bit...

My old DSi would have approx 20k-30k SRs on it and is fine, my 2 (2nd hand when I bought them) DS lites would be around 10k SRs each and all 3 are still fine. My 3DS XL is probably around 15-20k SRs at this stage, my New 3DS 5kish and they are both fine too.

So in my experience it doesn't seem to cause any issues. And that is on top of a LOT of play time as well.


Anyway, managed to snag another one. This took 500ish SRs again, not too bad when I am using 2 3DSs. I figure (depending on the target) I can do around 120-180 per hour which really isn't that bad. Around 10 hours average. If you had of told people that 2 generations ago they would have been fuming :)

An average 10 hours for a Shiny Legendary is not bad considering how long it can take. I am not big on Legendary Pokémon in general but do have a Shiny Kyogre that I obtained in a trade. :)

My Shiny Progress - My X game has gone Shiny Crazy:

Spoiler:

Shiny Female Numel - Found on the GTS for a mere Buizel. She is now a Shiny Camerupt and whilst training her up in a Friend Safari I found...

Shiny Male Cacturne (Cactanium) - I hardly ever get Shiny Pokémon in Friend Safari so this was a very nice surprise. The Brown matches it being the 'Scarecrow Pokemon'. One of my favourite Dark Types too.

Shiny Male Oddish - Found on the GTS for a spare Legendary I had. One of my favourite Grass-type Pokémon and now a Shiny Green Vileplume.

Shiny Illumise - Found on GTS for a female Pumpkaboo. Bad Pokemon, Great Shiny. The blonde hair and colour scheme looks great.

Shiny Female Wingull (Greenwing) - Found after an hour of horde hunting around a few spots and my first horde in Azure Bay. Now a Green Pelipper.

Shiny Male Eevee - Found on the GTS for a Smoochum. What should I evolve him into. He is my third Shiny Eevee.

Shiny Male Ivysaur and Shiny Male Bulbasaur l - Found for my spare Articuno and a Whimsicott respectively. The Ivysaur is now a Venusaur with Mega Stone and I have always wanted a Shiny Bulbasaur. It is great fun to play with in Pokémon Amie. :)

Shiny Male Chespin - Found on the GTS for a Male Tyrunt. Great Shiny, another Grass Starter and I plan to evolve it all the way to Chesnaught soon.

Shiny Male Octillery (Emperor) - Found near Shalour City with a Super Rod chain of ten. I am not sure about the Green colour but it does have suction Cups as it's ability making it a suitable partner for Chain Fishing.

I managed to get my 4th legendary this month, wanted Cobalion next but for some reason he won't show up, so hunting Heatran on both OR and AS now. Anyway, here is the latest addition:

[Poké Bean]

Wow, some nice Shinies you've been catching guys!

That's good to know about the SR, thanks for reassuring me, I may just give it a go now!

Edit: You know the Yearly Quest on the first page, can they be caught by any method?

 

[Leòmhann teine]

I haven't updated my sig yet for the new shiny Weedle I found in fire red (no I was not cheating it was literaly a random encounter and I wasn't even huntinf for one I was grinding my pokemon to fight brock). Rapidash(first shiny and best imo), Bibarel (ironically I found it breaking a chain in platinum lol), Linoone (random in emerald), Spinda (same as Linoone I must have really good luck in earlier gens), and then that Weedle which I can post a pic of if you want. I am currently hunting a shiny Arbok for a solo challenge in x but I don't have the means to do mesuada method any chance I can borrow foreign arboks with a nature that lowers hp and raises atk (don't have them memorized) in order to breed a shiny ekans for the challenge?

Yeah, AFAIK SRing is pretty safe. If your DS dies it is mor likely to have just gotten worn out than be because of the SRing itself!

Chaining and Friend Safari aren't allowed AFAIK

Nice shiny list! I have a foreign Ekans, but wrong nature. You might want to mention if you want a male/female/don't care

More Shiny finds


X Profile - Stephanie

Spoiler:

Shiny Female Pichu - Found on the GTS. I like the colouring here and will leave her as a Pichu. I now have Shiny Forms of the entire Pikachu line.

Shiny Female Oddish - Found on the GTS for a mere Cascoon. Now a Violet Bellossom. One of my favourite Pokemon.

Shiny Male Turtwig - GTS for a Moltres. A nice Shiny and another Starter. :)

Shiny Female Corsola (Bluegrass) - A beautiful Shiny. I really like the blue. Found just outside Shalour City.

Shiny Female Qwilfish (Valeria) - Took a long chain to get on Kalos Route 8. The Magenta is a big contrast for Qwilfish.

Also caught whilst chain fishing -

Shiny Male Gyarados (Leviathan) - Might EV train this one. He has a Lonely Nature.

Shiny Female Clawitzer (Joanne) - Caught on Kalos Route 8 on a Chain of just 6. My third Shiny Clawitzer.

Alpha Sapphire - Helena

Spoiler:

Shiny Male Wailmer (Winston) - Caught in Lilycove City after about 20 casts. The Magenta doesn't really work for me but I plan to evolve him into Wailord.

Shiny Male Sharpedo (Archer) - On the Route where Feebas can be found on only 7 casts. Has an Adamant nature and a great catch.

Shiny Female Feebas (Phoebe) - Having pulled two Shiny Male Feebas I finally found a female one. She is now a Milotic and will be used in Contests and I may EV train her. Milotic is my favourite Water Shiny and I am very pleased to finally have a female Shiny Milotic. :)

Next Hunt - Dexnav Misdreavus in Alpha Sapphire

Nice shiny list! I have a foreign Ekans, but wrong nature. You might want to mention if you want a male/female/don't care

Thanks! I just need one of them with adamant nature and unless ditto can be used for mesuada then I need 1 male and 1 female. If I could borrow it to breed a shiny that would be nice I'll return it I promise.
