6th Gen ~Shiny Hunters~

[Akuryou Inushii]

I used to chain for shiny Furfrous like mad. I have 2 and I also have a shiny Skiddo I chained on accident. That patch of lavendar flowers on Route 5 is the best spot!

That patch was the only one I'd ever use when I first started. I got a shiny Pancham in a non sparkling patch, a shiny Furfrou, and a shiny Skiddo. =3 Though I can't figure out how to chain using the DexNav feature in ORAS.

Well, so far I've managed to get a Shiny Luvdisc, at the fishing chain of 83. I might try some Horde encounters and see what might just pop up, because at least with hordes, it ups the chance to 5/4096, making it 1/819. I can imagine if the shiny charm was in effect (which I probably won't get for a very long time) then the chance would improve by a third. I think with a horde, for example looking for shiny Zangoose/Seviper, it could be a big problem if the solo enemy of the group is shiny.

 

[Faust Echoes]

Been soft-resetting for hours for a Shiny Froakie

The RNG god hates me. :(

Sad thing is, when I finally get my shiny Froakie, I'll have to do the same thing for Charmander. :(

Does it have to be a shiny starter? Cause when you breed, the rates will go way up (because you can hatch multiple froakies at a time) and best of all you don't need to go through that cut scene over and over and over again. Also, wouldn't a shiny Froakie with it's hidden ability be better? (again, through breeding)

 

[Faust Echoes]

Having one from the get-go just seems so much cooler.

Not sure... something like 1 in 8000?

I think there's a thread where a guy soft-reset'd 7000 some odd times before he got his shiny Fennekin.

I'm feeling lucky. I will get my shiny Froakie.

The shiny rate was upped to 8 in 65536 (roughly 1 in 8100) to 16 in 65536 (roughly 1 in 4000) but it doesn't help all that much. It's still horribly low, so you're gonna be at this a while.

 

[Nah]

Yeah, Faust Echos, I'm just stickin' your thread into this one, which is basically one of our talk about shinies in X/Y threads.

 

[Dreg]

Somehow, after I bashed the Pokeradar that much compared to the mechanics of D/P/Pt, I have somehow managed to get a shiny out of it. A Flabébé.... the rarest one, which is White.

 

[Pochama95]

49 eggs out of 86 and FalcnAmerica is born!

 

[EeveeArmy]

The only wild Pokémon I've caught....a few months ago while in a Normal safari, hunting for a shiny Eevee, after a few hours I get.....a Dunsparce -_- then a few days ago while in the same safari, looking for Eevee to breed....another Dunsparce! But hey a shiny is a shiny right?

 

[ilias_]

I just ran away from a shiny Cubchoo because I was not paying attention to the screen :( Saw it after I hit 'Run'. It sucks!! Now I must find one! lol

 

[Lady Viola]

I was using the TGS for the first time. I put up a regular silvion asking for an umbreon because I didn't know how to get one, when I checked a couple hours later, I had a level 100 shiny umbreon. xD In a mystery trade like a week later, I got a shiny buneary (which I'm trying to figure out how to evolve) and now I'm into shinies!

 

[Sheep]

I was poking around a friend safari some days ago looking for a Skill Link Minccino... and instead got a cute pink Dunsparce after maybe five encounters? omg I love it even if its ability and nature are bad. ;c;

 

[clbgolden]

I've been chain fishing for a shiny for a while. So far, none unfortunately.

New to pokemon? If so, Buneary evolves through friendship, the sooth bell, ribbons and massages help boost that. Anyway, I hunt a lot but recent'y have taken a break to play other games.

 

[Venitardus]

i hatched a shiny nidoran female, shiny mankey and shiny beldum all after 6 eggs of breeding. You can say I was a happy camper that day.
