    Lesse... a Bit of an update since the last time I popped in here, and this time I'll be talking about shinies that are actually for this gen. XD

    butyeah. I was in the grass, searching for a Buneary for whatever reason, and I had found my first shiny, a Budew~ It was in class so I couldn't squee about it, but I totally was on the inside.

    And then later on, I decided to RNG a Shiny Bold Feebas for my team, and so I did. :D Pretty proud of myself~

  • Shiny hatching help

    Sorry if this has been posted before, but I can't find anything under search. Well, I have been reading a couple of threads and searching online, but still confused. How many eggs do you have to hatch until you get a shiny? Well, currently I am trying to hatch a shiny Croagunk. I appreciate any assistance you experts can provide.

    Thanks..

  • It is random. But I think each egg is like a wild encounter. 1/8192 chance of being shiny.

    But if you breed with a pokemon from another language game, (say Japanese Version) it's then cut to 1/2048. (Masuda Method)

  • It was a while a go so I can't remember all the details but I was walking through a cave and a shiny Geodude appeared. I've had more random shiny encounters than shiny patches.
