XY Your Shiny Hunts

A few days ago, I ended up hatching my shiny Drilbur! But it only had three 31 IV's which is quite unfortunate. But it's stll cool, I believe I hatched it somewhere around 200-300 eggs.
The Friend Safari has been quite kind to me as well! I caught a shiny Butterfree, which I have wanted for a very long time. And, within the last twelve hours, I've caught two shiny Fraxure! I caught the first one last night while in bed, and I just caught the second one while searching for a shiny Shelgon or Sliggoo.
Hoping that the next few days are as successfull as I'm Masuda Breeding for a shiny Phione and soft reseting for a shiny Regirock in White2!

EDIT: .... and now a third Fraxure.... this is just rediculous. :p

At one point I got 3 shiny Audino on 2 days ._.

I finally got my shiny red-flower Flabebe :D
It came unnoticed at 292 eggs, and I first noticed it when I was about to put in the pc, I nearly peed my pants! :D

Now I'm thinking of doing either Cleffa, Burmy, orange Flabebe or Spinarak :)

I did that with my shiny Charmander in Black2. I was watching TV while hatching eggs, accessed the PC, and started releasing Charmanders. Happened to look down to find a yellow Charmander in my PC with my stylus positioned over the release button! :p

Spinarak!
 
I wanted a shiny Charizard (or any of its other forms) that I could use for battling but unfortunately of all times, my friend safari didn't give me massive amounts of shinies like it normally did. Desperate to get it and many hours of safari hunting later I gave in and tried to breed for a shiny 5-6 IV charmander. On my SECOND egg I hatched a perfect Charizard! I almost got teary eyed on that one lol. I must have lucked out in my game because I encounter and wind up breeding more shinies than a lot of other people I know and talk to. I have about 2 boxes of them that I use in giveaways in a group I'm in because I'm a bit sick of them now that I have my shiny team and shiny eeveeloutions.
 
I have previously stated that i MM for a Shiny competitive Litwik and did so but the iVs were poor so i could use it but i traded it yester day for a Shiny Competitive Torchic:D
 
YES! Shiny Regirock after 1,544 soft resets! I still don't have the shiny charm in White2, how am I doing this? :p Unfortunately I had to use my last Master Ball as it was one turn from Stuggleing itself out. But it has a Lax nature which increase it's defense! To bad its level 65, otherwise I would have used it in one of my OR/AS playthroughs.
GREAT WEEK!

What Pokemon do you need to complete your dex? I can help out if needed. Congrats by the way!!

Thanks, but I decided to ditch the Shiny Charm this time around. :p
I have the Shiny Charm in Black2 and even had a living Pokédex in Black2, until I transferred half of them into Pokémon Bank. So it's my fault or not shiny hunting earlier. :p
 
Started a new game in SS the other day. Did soft resets for a shiny starter for two hours. Any more than that and I would have spent so much time soft resetting that I would have lost interest in playing the actual game.

Spinarak!
Got it after 206 eggs :D

That's awesome, congrats! That's one of my favorite Johto region Pokémon! <3
What are you planning on doing with it? Using it for battles or just another addition to your collection?

My current shiny hunts; still no shiny after 100+ Phione and I just started to dual soft reset for shiny Regice in both Black2 and White2. (12 sr's so far)

I don't really play competetive, so it's just gonna be in my collection. It is part of my "becoming less afraid of spiders" plan, because I'm so afraid of spiders. I'm planning to hatch a bunch of shinies and then evolve them all at the same time :3

Since I realized Cleffa can't be bred (because I don't have a Clefairy), I'm moving on to Burmy and hoping for a male one ._.

Well, I just caught my fourth shiny Fraxure! I never thought I'd be so sick of seeing a shiny Pokémon. But I finally caught a shiny Shelgon (in a Dive Ball) two minutes after Fraxure! Debating on saving shiny Shelgon for my Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire playthrough. Hmmmm...
 
While attempting to catch a living Pokedex for the upcoming R/S remakes I encountered a shiny male Nidoran in a horde, my first horde shiny with the charm! Unfortunately it was my only horde shiny since then as it took me 2 hours to find a Starly horde but during that time only one shiny was encountered.

After a few days and still encountering many Pokemon, no shiny has appeared since. My streak hasn't been so good.

Then I was like, hey I need a Carvanhna and Sharpedo, maybe I can try chain fishing. I caught a regular Carvanhna at first and I decided to try a Sharpedo but eventually got a normal one and realized that it was split between him, Gyarados and Seaking and I really did not want Gyarados or Seaking so I switched to the good rod and after 4 hooks there shining a shining demon... fish! I named him Kickass. Yes it did not get censored. It's awesome.

I have no idea whether or not switching rods will break the chain. So I could have had this shiny on a chain of 4. Or a chain of 15-20.

my friend got a shiny Regirock in white 2 after 6 or 7 RE's. He was at my house when he caught it and we both flipped out! I ended up trading for it, it is named 'The Rock' after the actor :D

Good luck on your hunt. Shiny Regirock is a really cool looking shiny :D

Edit: I haven't played X in a while but I think I'm going to boot it up and shiny hunt for something in the friend safari. Which type of safari should I try for?

I would say either Fairy, Fire or Grass since they're my favorite types, but Electric has some cool Pokemon as well :)
 
Early March, I decided to try for a Shiny Purrloin. Lucked out and got it in only 16 eggs! I was tempted to evolve it, but I decided to keep it as Purrloin since I don't like Liepard's Shiny colors.

Afterward, I started trying for a Shiny Mothim. After 1,125 eggs and 3 Shiny female Burmy, I finally hatched a male.

Then I started trying for a Shiny Gallade. I can't remember how many Ralts I hatched, but I rage quit after hatching a Shiny Adamant female.
NO FOTO LEL

Early last month, I decided to try for a Shiny Beedrill (after taking this photo of a green bee). After a day or so, I finally hatched a Shiny Weedle.

Around Easter, I started trying for a Shiny Whimsicott. After about 1,200 eggs, I gave up and switched to Wartortle (one of my favorite Pokémon), which I'm still trying for (about 800 eggs so far). After that, I'll either switch back to Whimsicott, Gallade, or something new.
 
I'm still working on a shiny Fennekin. I haven't had a lot of time to hatch so it's taking a long time, but I'm up to about 820. T_T Reading all these stories about getting shinies before 500 (or even 100) is kind of discouraging. How do all of you get so lucky? Oh well, I'm not giving up!

I have a shiny fennekin if you'd like it.

Thanks, but I'm still determined to hatch my own! I've hatched about 820 eggs, I'm not stopping now! ^_^ Of course if it needs a home, I'm not opposed to twins. ;)
