6th Gen What's the luckiest you've been with shiny hunting?

    I haven't really been as lucky, but two of the times where I lucked out were when I hatched a shiny Charmander at around 100 eggs and when I found a shiny Zigzagoon via Dexnav after a chain of only 3. This is all without the shiny charm.
     
    I can understand you and while I'm not a breeder I have been unlucky with shinies in this game. The only one I obtained was a Zigzagoon from a random wild encounter.
     
    Hatching a shiny Pidgey after only 36 eggs (and it was my first succesfull Masuda Method attempt).
    Finding a random shiny Magnemite
    And getting a shiny Lugia after only 3 days of soft resetting.

    So yeah, so far I've been kinda lucky during this game. Shiny Regice also didn't take that much time but more than Lugia.

    No luck with Regirock yet though but I'm trying t get the entire set.
     
    -shiny wailmer on 4th chain fish
    -shiny 5% gyarados on 23rd chain fish
    -shiny magikarp on the 28th chain fish (the chain directly after the gyarados)
    first and only time i've got two shiny's in one day :D
     
    I actually haven't run into a shiny in ORAS so far, nor X&Y. I feel like I could run into a wild encounter every two minutes for an entire game sometimes, and never once find a shiny.

    Maybe I should try chain fishing when I start up ORAS next time, and see if I can find one that way.
     
    I found a Shiny Onix with 3 stats having 31iv, relaxed nature and it's hidden ability. By then I evolved it into Steelix.
     
    Well luckiest shiny in one day was Hunting with DexNav in OR
    Getting 2 Eevee and 1 Ralts but took about 2 hours to get one
    Next day i got another shiny eevee that i plan to trade soo if anyone wants it its still up for grabs :)
     
    The luckiest I've been in Omega Ruby was when I found a shiny Gloom with the DexNav without even trying.
     
    I wasn't exactly hunting for shiny pokemon, but I was in the safari zone looking for light balls (I completely forgot about the DexNav) and I found a Shiny Psyduck. Later on that day, I was fishing for heart scales and I found a shiny Luvdisc

    It was probably the luckiest day in my entire life
     
    Shiny Teddiursa and Bulbasaur on the first egg.
     
    my luckiest would be my shiny poochyena that i got while attempting to dexnav a zorua. my other one would be my shiny zekrom that i got after half a day of sring
     
    Haven't actually gotten any shinies in ORAS that I know of, haven't done much breeding or REing in the game at all lol. Up until recently when I sold my version of X I had done all of my hunting there.

    I think I'll be getting some shinies later on though, currently prepping for Sun & Moon gradually by breeding. yey.
     
    My luckiest was a shiny Shuppet and Meditite on the same day within a couple of hours!
    I was actually hunting for a shiny Vulpix, but that thing just does not want to show up!
    I ended up really loving the Meditite and as it was male I decided to evolve it. Blue Medicham looks amazing (as well as Mega Medicham)!
     
    I was Dexnav hunting for a shiny Duskull, and just a few minutes after catching one, as soon as my max repel wore off, I got a horde encounter with a shiny Shuppet in it.
