The only shiny I catched in X is my actual Sylveon, catched as a Eevee in Friend Safari, he has 31 IV in both PV and Sp.Def, and he's Modest, which is nearly perfect :3
i caught a shiny hoothoot which is now a shiny noctowl in the friend safari, up for trade for really really cool blue shiny pokemon (like yanma and umbreon and boldore etc) and i also caught a shiny togepi in the friend safari, which is also up for trade, but not too sure about trading it. only if you give me the coolest blue shiny ive ever seen
I have only met one shiny in the game so far: Wingull. It was in a horde encounter (obviously) so I was a bit nervous when I had to defeat the other 4 Wingull first. I boxed it and I'm not going to evolve it since I don't like Pelipper.
I attempted shiny fishing once but I think I just don't have the patience for that.
I have a shiny Noivern in my Y. I had been trying for 2 weeks to catch a Noibat in Terminus Caves, to no avail. All I ever get from the shadows are Ariados. So I give up on the cave and go to Victory Road to see if I missed anything. I happened across a path I've never seen before and get jumped by another Ariados. I've read that the spiders and Noibats share the same attack method so I exit and enter the cave until I get another shadow. This time, it's my first Noibat. Not only that, she was shiny! So I throw a quick ball and BOOM she's caught and mine!
Though I must admit, I think the regular palette looks a lot better.
While digging around a Friend Safari today I ran into a Shiny Pansage. Sadly I'm not a fan of that Pokemon at all, so I wasn't really thrilled about it. If anyone wants to trade for it I'm open for offers. I mainly want a Female Eevee with Perfect IV's.
For now, I really haven't been hunting, but I have:
Floatzel: Friend Safari (accidentally too.. was running around crazy and found this guy)
Krabby: Masuda method (after the first 4 eggs, this guy hatched)
Charmander: Masuda method (wasn't even expecting it, but it happened)
All random encounters, but ! got a shiny Scatterbug I traded for a Zapdos, a shiny metapod that I evolved to a shiny butterfree that I traded for a Xerneas and a shiny Furfrou that I traded for a shiny, 4IV Gastly. Oh and I also got a shiny Druddigon in a wonder trade
Octillery - my first one!
Geodude - found in a horde (he survived 2 magnitudes from his bros)
Fearow - found randomly on Victory Road :D
Gurdurr - same as above. He's my latest one and unfortunately he have the worst possible nature - modest :<
I put them all in my signature, but in case that ever changes my list is:
Luvdisc (fishing, not sure if due to chaining) First shiny ever!
Roselia (Pokeradar) She actually broke my chain, but was shiny... so I'm not sure if it's due to the Pokeradar lol
Sandshrew x2 (Masuda method)
Larvesta (Masuda method)
