6th Gen Your Gen VI Shiny Pokémon

My shiny luck is (slowly) returning. I caught a shiny Nosepass from a horde. I raged when a crit happened, but it hung on with Sturdy, letting me catch it without further trouble. A few days after that (and just yesterday), I caught a shiny Drifloon. I was so afraid of KOing it that I spammed Poke Balls and Great Balls at it until one of them finally caught it.

Haha. I bet that was an intense moment xD.
 
was filling up my pokedex by leveling the mons with exp share in Victory Road cave..
I'm just watching pokemon/movies while im doing this with the ds volume down..so im here ready to moon blast this druddigon..but as im looking at the screen the diagonal camera comes off of sylveon, and i see this drudigon is green/orange..proceeds to throw duskballs at it and caught it..
been in this cave for 4 - 6 hours..so im not that supprised i got a shiny..i just want the oval charm to produce eggs faster, and i got lucky i guess.

When my sis comes back from australia, ill be able to upload pics..till now all i have is stories..but as of now..I've already ran into 3 shinies on my own.. 2 in friend safari, and now this drudigon. Feels nice though.
 
I read about tipping raising your chances, so I dropped around 20'000 in tips at the chatue. I got not one, but two shiny torchics in the first 3 boxes of them. It was using the Masuda method, but still, I've never gotten that lucky before.
 
how does sycnhronize work with catching shinies?
 
Man I am having the worst luck trying to get a shiny charizard. I've done normal breeding, Masuda method, and now I'm trying my luck at friend safari. God help me!
 
So far ive gotten 2 shinys 1 i sent all my pokemon to my friend so i could restart the game and then he wanted to do the same so i had to catch 70 pokemon to trade for his and my pokemon and i got lucky and ran into a shiny pikachu then i got my most favorite shiny pokemon ever today using the masuda method i got me a shiny charmander at exactly egg 211 and now its a shiny charizard and both shiny mega y and x are beautiful
 
ugh this ******** man...yesterday i traded my shiny dunsparce for a regular ditto..dont ask me why..i was intoxicated..and found out about the new way to breed 5 iv pokemon in around 20 -30 mins..so i was in desperate need for a timid natured ditto to breed for a timid deino..

I just ran into another shiny dunsparce while leveling up my zwellious in the normal safari with audino..just my luck..because this same safari has eevee in it, and i never get a shiny eevee.


besides i did what that dude did who said he tipped 20k in battle cheatau, maybe that's why i got two shinies today in a matter of 1-2 hours apart. but the druddigon i got was before i tipped.

maybe dunsparce just loves me i guess ahaha.
 
How I traded my first three Shiny Pokemon.

My 1st shiny was Snubbull
My 2nd shiny right after was Eevee
My 3rd shiny was Heracross from a random Pokemon trade.

Eevee - traded for Shiny Honedge.
Heracross - traded for Shiny Trapinch
Shiny Trapinch & Snubbull - traded for Shiny Charizard + Charizard x mega stone

So in the end, I ended up with a Shiny Aegislash & Shiny Charizard. How'd I do?

I plan to keep going. Trading is fun :D.
 
After like a day of non stop chain, i finally managed to get a shiny Croakung. It's nature isn't correct, but who cares, i don't plain to use it anyway...And before the Croakung, i've never had a chain shiny =]
 
I just found this pretty lady in the Friend Safari! :D

Spoiler:


It only took me 3 days. xD

Some info:
Nature: Lax (+Def - Sp Def) "Relatively superior potential."
31 IVs in Attack and Sp Def.
Nature: Rock Head (> Solid Rock when it evolves.)

Just managed to get a shiny Slowpoke, it looks lighter than the normal one only...Was expecting something better tho =/
 
First shiny was a Ralts! :D So excited when I first saw it! Now it's a beautiful Gardevoir that turns into a kick ass Mega shiny Gardevoir :D
 
Wow, I just caught a shiny Rufflet in a friend safari! It was purely chance. I thought I'd catch some Rufflets, since I'd traded mine--and wouldn't you believe it I stumbled upon a shiny on my second encounter!

It's about time I struck luck. lol I was getting jealous of hearing about everyone else catching shinies. :P

Update: About 3 Futurama episodes later I caught a shiny Growlithe in the safari. I just kept running through the grass and fleeing from battles until a shiny appeared.

Looking to trade my shiny machamp with someone. I've gotten bored having done practically everything in the game, so i want to restart but keep my shiny. For me it's always been one shiny per game, so i want to restart to hopefully reset my odds. Anyone willing to trade?
 
Doesn't feel like quoting my last two posts. However, after the Slowpoke chain i managed to get more 2 shinies, all by chaining.

Those are Exeggcute and swirlix. With those i got already 5 shinies. (Ditto; Croakung; Slowpoke ; Exeggcute ; Swirlix).
 
Just got a shiny Clawitzer from fish chaining, yay! Was searching for a shiny Relicanth since it's my favourite shiny of all and that little red cutie happened to pop up. He was my 2nd or 3rd Pokémon fished up in a row though, so I don't think the chaining had much to do with him being shiny. I'm still chuffed though, may well have to use him! It's a shame about the Lonely nature haha.
 
I got a Budew on my first day of playing the game (the 21st). Then in the weekend I got Vanillite and Relicanth (both being obtained in under two/three hours). And today I got a shiny Phantump.
 
My first Gen VI shiny was a shiny Murkrow I came across in a horse battle! It was three in the morning and I really wanted to shout from surprise but my mom was sleeping, lol. I'm working hatching a shiny Tyrunt, but I haven't had any luck. I even tried that shiny fishing chaining method, but that wasn't worked for me yet, either. :\
