XY Your Shiny Hunts

Oh wow. That's a lot! Why did you hunt for doubles, though? Wouldn't you rather go to another FS to get different Pokémon? Either way, awesome that you got 6 shiny Pokémon!

Edit: I meant 12, haha. My bad.

I didn't intentionally hunt for doubles, but I only have one safari with Togepi and one with Rufflet, so that's why I got 2 of some of them. I also hunted for Piloswine in an ice-safari, but got two Snorunt, although I kinda wanted two so that I could both have a Froslass and Glalie. And I don't like shiny Swoobat in this gen, so I only evolved one Woobat ;)
 
After a week of bicycling in the Friend Safari, I finally got my shiny Rufflet! Yay :D
Now the hunt goes on for Aipom or I'm gonna continue on my MM for Kricketot.. :)
 
I've been hunting in hordes on Route 11 for at least two weeks now, and I finally caught my shiny male Nidoran this morning! I was starting to get worried. :p
My other current shiny hunts at the moment are:
- Masuda breeding for a competitive shiny Drilbur in XY. (Over 100 eggs hatched so far)
- Soft reseting for shiny Kyurem in White2 without the Shiny Charm! (514 sr's so far)
 
After Rufflet I ended up MM'ing for a shiny Lotad on my Y-version. Hatched eggs all day and ended up getting it after exactly a 150 eggs! So happy, but why can't Kricketot come after this "little" amount of eggs? ._.
 
In G5, I encountered two wild shinies and caught them, a Tranquill and a Meinshao.
In X, I got wonder-traded a 4IV Timid Drought Vulpix and used a US Ditto with it to breed a shiny after about 100 eggs, I'd guess. Unfortunately, the shiny got Flash Fire ... I'm debating if I want to be greedy and try for a second with Drought.
 
I finally got a shiny Kricketot after 1004 eggs, my longest hunt ever! I'm so happy :D
And I can finally move to a next target :D

On a similar note, how long has your succesfull Masuda Methods taken? :)

Edit: Just got my next target! Shiny Azurill after 19 eggs, and it has Huge Power :D
 
Masuda Method have been Really short or REALLY long for me. It took over 2500 Gastly eggs to finally hatch a shiny one. I got lucky with shiny Froakie multiple times (within a few tries or 100 tries), but some took several hundred tries (500-1500). I got 4 Shiny Froakie in total, as said before. :p

I got really lucky with Honedge. I was IV/Nature breeding it and got a decent IV shiny Honedge from the second egg! :)

I RE'd in Old Chateau and ended up at 11,000+ by the end, but trust me, it's worth itto see that blue Gastly pop up on your screen. :)

In other news, I haven't been shiny hunting like I used to (literally I always was shiny hunting, and it was probably something like 15 hours a day of straight hatching/REing/soft-resetting... Don't judge), but recently I started to MM for a shiny Piplup, and after what I'm assuming to be around 300 eggs (or less), it finally hatched and because of the miracle that is Everstone, it's Calm! I thinkk I'm gonna get back into it, all it took was a little taste of shininess. :D

SHINY KYUREM!
I just caught my shiny Kyurem after 1640 soft resets and five days of hunting! I don't even have the Shiny Charm! I ended up catching it with the Master Ball because Kyurem had taken all but one of my Pokémon out and I didn't feel like using 20+ revives to get back into the 'safe-zone.' :p It's nature is Mild which isn't the best for it's defense. But it's shiny, which makes up for it!!!

Day off... MK8 Nintendo Direct.... shiny Kyurem = Great Day!
 
After 424 eggs I finally got my shiny Shellos East Sea! :D
It's Brave which I guess is okay for it, but I'm not really that into competetive battling, so I'm just gonna evolve him and have him in my collection. This week has really been good to me shiny wise, giving me shiny Kricketot, Azurill and Shellos, but it would be even more awesome if I could get more MM shinies :D

Edit: Just got a shiny Scatterbug after 264 eggs, next target: Flabébe :D

You're crazy... crazy lucky I mean. I wish I owned a 1/8192, but the only 2 was a random Budew in Diamond my 6 year old brother ran away from "hey something's weird with this one it's got the wrong colors!" kids... and a Hoothoot or Pidgey from Silver which couldn't be transferred...

At least you didn't end up like this guy.

Today. I was hunting for a Dragonair in the Friend Safari while watching the Amazing Spider Man 2. But someone yelled at me cause the light from the screen was bothering him and it was at its lowest brightness setting. Sometime this week, I hope something shines...
 
...Where stay`s my Shiny Beldum :( 187 Beldum Eggs no Shiny yet.
But, good news: Lotad was after 15 Eggs! :) Also a 5IV Lotad :)
Still try to get a Turtwig xD 580 Eggs I think.. Bleh :( I maybe go on to get Shiny Aron..Long way to go, but it is worth it!
 
My first attempt was with Y version, I was going to "hunt" for a shiny Charmander. Then I discovered you had to battle the professor every time before you got to choose. That was the end of that.

I do remember "back in the day" when I was playing Silver version (I think), I had a random encounter with a shiny, don't remember what Pokemon. I had no idea why the color was different at the time... pretty much freaked out (was a kid), ended up KO'ing him on accident :rolleyes:
 
My shiny hunts so far for Pokemon X: (MM +Shiny charm)

2 Houndours after 260 eggs
2 Honedges after 380 eggs 1 of them has x/31/31/31/31/31 ivs!
1 Noibat after 400+ eggs
and today after a hard day in the bus from my job got myself a shiny Fennekin with x/x/31/31/31/31
ivs !
 
Got tired of counting encounters. Just did it while watching youtube videos of scary horror games that Pewdiepie plays.

1st hour Dragon Safari for Sliggoo, nothing. 2nd hour chaning for a Noibat or Dragonair. Nope. Got sick of Friend Safari and went back to Route 4 for attempt #3 for shiny Ledyba. I got a red flower Flabebe. Well at least it's one of my favorite Pokemon and something shone after this drought. butgamewhyyounogivemeatleastorangeflowerorwhiteflower?!?!?

So that makes... Male Combee, Budew and Red Flabebe so far... Oh well I'll still treasure her and named her Scarlet.

So I have been playing since Silver but I did not get a shiny until Pearl, randomly surfing I encountered a shiny Spheal.

My next was in Platinum in Eterna Forest…with Cheryl. It was a shiny Bunnery and Cheryl was determined to faint it? I knocked out the other Pokemon and Bunnery was in the orange, my Pokeball failed and Cheryl Egg Bombed it and gave me a heart attack. Luckily it survived with a sliver and I caught it.

Then after I beat the game and chained a shiny Castform in the Trophy Garden and got it on the second Castform!

In White I found a shiny Timburr before fighting Lenora and it carried me through the Elite Four.

Now I have been MMing in X, so far here is what I have gotten (all with 5 Perfect IVs):
-Shiny Phantump after 50ish eggs
-Shiny Clauncher on the 523rd egg
-Shiny Red Flabebe accidentitally within 20 eggs of the shiny Clauncher
-Shiny Carmander on the 63rd egg
 
The only shiny that I've ever even encountered was a shiny PATRAT. Yeah, Patrat! Of all the luck! BTW, how do you chain shines?
