XY Your Shiny Hunts

Hi guys! A few posts have been removed for being a little off topic. Please keep in mind what the op says. Rather than just "updating" us that you just got a shiny, explain how you got it; where you caught it, what you were doing, how long you were hunting, how/whom you traded with.... exc. :)
 
I've wanted a shiny a Buneary ever since I heard Lopunny was going to get a mega evolution. It's something I wanted to get to but I never felt really motivated to start until yesterday. I started a thread requesting a female jolly Buneary with it's hidden ability and in a Dream Ball. I manged to get one with three egg moves and 5 perfect individual values. later that day. The egg moves the Buneary had were low kick, fake out and encore. I wanted a forth egg move for my shiny so I decided to breed the Buneary with a 5IV Scraggy that has the move fire punch. I put both of them in the day care and walked around until I had around 24 eggs. Out of those 24 eggs, five of those eggs had everything I desired. Later that evening, I searched the internet for matching TSVs that matching ESV to the eggs that I had. I found someone and messaged them to request a trade. That person got back to me today in the morning. He/She agreed to trade with me. I sent them the egg and they hatched a shiny Buneary and returned it to me. The Bunearys info can be found in my list which is in my signature.
 
In the past couple of days I've bagged two new shinies: A female Chinchou (hence nicknamed 'Starburst') hatched after less than 300 eggs. She's Calm, Volt Absorb, and has the IV's: 31/31/31/x/31/31. Waiting to train her before I figure out what the Sp. Attack one is.

The next shiny hatched today: A female Houndour (nickname: Wisteria) hatched -unbelievably enough- in less than 90 eggs. She's timid, Flash Fire, IV's: 31/31/31/31/31/x, and the egg move Nasty Plot.

Now I'm on the hunt for a shiny Electrike, as part of an overall attempt to hatch one of every Mega-Evolution capable Pokémon shiny. Wish me luck! I have about ten more to go.
 
masuda breeding for a shiny Gallade....got a shiny, but it's female e_____________e
 
Right now I am trying to Masuda breed a shiny Misdreavus and I am really hoping it will be a female.. 500~ eggs so far still not even close to my record with Shiny Hawlucha after 1100 eggs
My shortest hunt was Shiny Hippopotas after maybe 30 eggs. That was really amazing.
Did you know that the chances to get a shiny with masuda+shiny charm are 1/512? seems easy but it is really not lol.
 
Well, last night I finally got shiny Lugia :D Lonely nature but I don't care, I now have both HGSS box legends as shinies! It was a brutal grind, the next one I'm going after is Volcarona in White 2 (although I'm probably not gonna be spending as much effort due to how long shiny Lugia took to appear)

Did you count the number of soft reseting? I wonder how much time did it take
I tried one time soft reseting for a shiny Groudon but got tired after like 2 months.. that was a nightmare.

Lol no I didn't, I probably spent around 8 months of SRing for shiny Lugia, which felt like an eternity! Compared to my shiny Ho-oh that took probably around 3 months. I guess the secret to it is once you've been doing it past a certain point, just catching the regular version would've made all the effort pointless. But yeah I'm probably not gonna be on my W2 as much.
 
Got my shiny Electrike! Timid, female, no egg moves, 31/31/x/31/31/31, nicknamed 'Teravolt'. Took me 894 eggs to hatch, so not too bad... Anyways, I'm going to press on and go for a shiny male Ralts to have a Gallade for the next games. Wish me luck (I hope I don't hatch a shiny female Ralts with a Jolly nature...)

Shiny Misdreavus after more then 1000 eggs
I am amazed how lucky I am with the iv's got everything perfect except hp and attack. Another good thing is that she is a female :) looks so good with that gold color.

Galaxy Hunter@ wow that shiny Electrike :).. So close to have hp ice.. if only it didn't have perfect attack..
 
Lady Luck is being... fickle with me this week. On one hand; two new shinies in one day! On the other... still no shiny Gallade!

To elaborate: I've been hunting shiny Ralts/Gallade for a while, but with no luck. So I decided to start using my second 3DS and X version (which has a clone of my 6IV Japanese Ditto on it) to begin hunting for the next Pokémon in my Shiny Mega Quest; Buneary/Lopunny. I jokingly bet some friends that I'd find Buneary before Gallade (which I've been hunting for almost a week now), and wouldn't you know it I hatched not one but two shiny Buneary inside of 200 eggs!

There's Lilith, the female, Jolly Nature, Run Away, IV's: 31/31/x/31/31/31

And here's the male, Blasto (named for the Hanar Spectre from Mass Effect), Jolly, Klutz, 31/31/31/x/31/31

So, now I'm beginning to hunt a shiny Swablu/Altaria on my X version while continuing to search for a shiny male Ralts on Y. The egg count for that hunt? 1280+

Yeah, ouch.
 
I just bred my Hydreigon with an Altaria I received through Wonder Trade a while back, since I plan to transfer one Swablu to either Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire. I decided to teach my Hydreigon Hyper Voice, because I bet Altaria will greatly benefit from it with its' new Mega Evolution in ORAS.

While I was hatching 30 Swablu eggs, I just so happened to have hatched a shiny Swablu, and I didn't even notice it! It wasn't perfect, but I'm a little bit surprised that this happened.
 
I just hatched a PERFECT Shiny Beldum Jolly with everything perfect minus sp.atk !!! This is the first time I got a flawless shiny Pokemon I am so hyped for ORAS now to mega evolve my future Shiny Metagross :D

I used the Masuda mathod with Shiny charm, collected first 1000 eggs without hatching them and after that I began to hatch them all so I have no idea what egg number it is but itd above 200 at least. Still left with so many eggs lol.
Special thanks to Drohn who gave me a 6iv Ditto which whithout him I could never get this special Pokemon :)
 
After a long shiny hunt break, I got myself Noah, a shiny Numel!
He's got the right nature (+Atk -Spe), and he's ready to feel Mega :D
 
I have a shiny Axew I happened to find in a horde. I'm currently working on filling the pokedex to get a Shiny Charm.
I've been thinking about hunting for shinys and doing a giveaway with them for my app, but I'm not sure people are very interested unless the Pokemon has flawless IVs too. What do you think?

Well since the people using the app are going to be pretty competitive, any non-max IV Pokemon are probably just going to be used as trade bait. I don't think anyone would hesitate to accept a free shiny Pokemon though.


A while ago I decided to try my luck with chain-fishing on the beach by Cyllage City and in front of Pokemon Tower. I got shiny Staryu and Octillery that took just a half-hour each.
 
Since my last update I've gotten a ton of shinies.

1st I got Zorro, a Shiny Male Ralts after 1189 eggs. He's now a Gallade, Jolly, Justified, 31/31/31/31/x/31, Shadow Sneak, Memento, Destiny Bond, Mean Look.

Next, Lily the Shiny Kangaskhan after just 372 eggs. Adamant, Scrappy, 31/31/31/31/31/x, no egg moves.

Then, while in the Friend Safari, I found Serenity, the Shiny Trapinch within half an hour. Adamant, Arena Trap, x/x/x/x/31/31

Then, while EV training, I found 3 shinies in hordes within two hours of one another:
Shiny Foongus, Bold, 31 In Sp. Def
Shiny Cubchoo
Shiny Weepinbell

Just the other night, Nimbus, a Shiny Swablu hatched at 1038 eggs. Calm, Natural Cure, x/31/31/31/31/31, Haze, Hyper Voice, Power Swap, and Agility

And finally, while W-T'ing the leftover Swablu, I got two shinies from very nice strangers.
Shiny Female Ralts, nicknamed Ophelia, Timid, Trace, 31/31/31/31/x/31, no egg moves.
Shiny Abra, Naughty, Inner Focus, Unknown IV's
 
I have pokemon X so these are what I have

randomly running into a horde of wingull with a shiny one, traded it away for a Giratine (and it was accepted)

randomly ran into a shiny Kakuna (now a beedrill, waiting to see if I will get a suicune from it)

Bred a shiny Charizard (Not giving it away EVER! Masuda method with Korean Ditto and the Charizard from Sycamore)

bred a shiny Fletchling (was trying to get it with gale wings but got its regular ability instead, Masuda method between male and female Talonflame produced this and is now currently helping me hatch Magikarp that I am breeding using the Masuda Method)

Randomly ran into a shiny Mightyena

Got a shiny Rayquaza off of GTS for the Moltres that I caught (the one that depends on your starter's type)
 
Back when I still used cheats, I caught about 35. Now I know better than to use cheats, and no longer play the games I cheated on. :)
I have never actually hunted for any Shiny except one: Helioptile. And to this day I still haven't found one. :(

My legitimate Shinies:

Gyarados (HG)
Lake of Rage. I have no further explanation. And he's boring.

Roggenrola (W2)
I was just wandering through Relic Passage when a weird purple Roggenrola appeared. I noticed that it was Female and thought that maybe the color was a gender thing. But then the sparkles appeared, and my head exploded. Caught it with my last PokéBall.

Golem (Y)
Traded from a friend as a Geodude. I Evolved him and named him Goldore.

Pelipper (Emerald)
I was actually letting my sister play this when he appeared. She randomly yelled, "THIS PELIPPER IS GREEN!!" So instantly I ran over. I almost defeated it due to over-level, but thank goodness he lowered my Attack.

Pikachu and Dedenne (Y)
Both of these I found in Friend Safari. Pikachu, I was just using the Safari for leveling. Dedenne, I was looking for a Stunfisk for a friend.


And finally....
I was on Route 8 in Y....
And I found a Shiny.
And of all the Shinies it could be...
It had to be...
An ABRA.

WHICH BROKE OUT OF MY QUICK BALL.
I raged for soooooo long.
