Was looking for a shiny Golurk in the Friend Safari and I ran into a shiny Phantump. Thing is I already have a shiny Phantump I enjoy so I'm going to offer this one up for trade, as well as a shiny Ninetails I found last week.
(Check my post here if you're interested)
Also, I managed to get that shiny Golurk I was looking for. I had to name him Alphonse. :D
I've gotten 13 shinies from the GTS just from trading things that (I think?) people needed for their pokedexes. I got a shiny Growlithe for a Pelipper.
As for shiny hunting myself, it's going slow. All I've gotten is a shiny Duosion (on X) and a shiny Barbaracle (on Y). I just started breeding a Japanese Honedge to try and get a shiny Aegislash. I want one so bad. I've hatched about 80 eggs with no luck so far. x_x
One time I wasn't even hunting, I just ran into a shiny pidgey in the grass before the first gym. Went back to the PC to check it out, came back to the grass, very next encounter, another shiny pidgey. I was like 'What sorcery is this?!"
I've hatched a shiny Tyrunt and Litleo, and a growlithe I gave away...
I've also had decent success in Safari's. All by accident, I got a shiny Gabite, Ponyta and Bergmite. Still trying to trade the Bergmite. It's got perfect IVs in Def and HP, so it could make a decent tank...
Y has been my lucky game for shinies. ^-^
