Anything and Everything Shiny - 2.0!

[Skippio]

All of you people with your luck. How about sharing?

Congrats to everyone with their recent shinies.

As for me, still hunting on Route 110. I hope something shines soon. ;;

[Ipodcheese]

wow alot of great shines latley sad on those missed ones
I don't seem to want to keep one hunt to the end on my HG. After 365 SR on my abra I decided to Restart my game and try and get another shiny Johto starter... man I wish I could keep going on one quest.
Still on chargestone cave 600 or so Re-Enters
Good luck to all hunts and
*May the shine be with you*

[Elysian]

I finally met a shiny Cacturne, and captured it.
It had a bad nature, but I doubt I would've used it anyways

[Heliotrope]

Good morning everyone. I took a profile pic of my new shiny Beldum.

I now have only two soft reset shinies left that I need in Ruby; Castform and Kecleon, so I'm going to start SR'ing for a shiny Castform in Ruby 2 (I'm still hunting for an underwater shiny in Ruby 1).

I also managed to get to 3500 encounter for my next HG badge quest shiny last night.

Good luck with your hunting guys. Hope your Rayquaza shines soon, Gustavo.

[Zane Clarthy]

You know, I'm always slightly confused when people ask, "Gasp! How do you count the soft resets?! Tell me your amazing secret method!"

Er... we count them by... counting them. Keeping count, adding together... isn't this basic mathematics? Really, am I missing something here - why are people so baffled by the concept of keeping count of numbers and then adding them together? O.o

Really. You don't even need a calculator. Can't you keep count in your head? You do 50 encounters. You write it down. You do another 50 encounters, you add it to the previous 50, you're now at 100 encounters. You write that down. Congratulations; you've mastered the extremely difficult task of counting numbers, adding them together and writing it down on a notebook/notebook file on your computer.

Well done.

In other news, I haven't found any new shinies recently. But during the day I'm hunting for Snorlax, Beldum and Slowpoke, and at night I'm hunting for my next Heart Gold badge quest shiny. Congrats on all the new shinies; especially the two shinies in one day, Zane, it's great when that happens. ^.^

Haha, that made me laugh for some reason! Thanks for the congrats, by the way! It sounds really bad, like I got them both so easily ... but the amount of hunting I've done on HG with nothing appearing sort of counter balances it, in a way. What I mean is that it's not as if I just turned on a Pokemon game once in a blue moon and got something. I just happened to be lucky and turn on the right game for something to appear. It still feels completely insane to me, though!

... congrats Zane on the two shinies!

Thanks, and good luck to you, Aqua!

I know I have not been posting, sorry everyone. Congratulations to the plethora of people who got some lovely shinies, Zane Clarthy, PPL, and others.

Currently still RE'ing in SS for my BQ with no luck. I am switching up routes every so often just for a change of scene. I also want to be surprised at which shiny finally appears ^_^

Thanks, Pocketmonstre! And don't worry, I'll forgive you for not posting. Good luck to you, and good idea switching it up a bit! Sometimes things can get very tedious.

Very nice!

I noticed that the lightning effects made Rapidash's fire on the first picture look like they were more blue than grey.
I wish they would have made it that colour instead of that grey :/
Almost makes me not want to evolve shiny Ponyta if I ever get one, but then, I'd feel forced to fully evolve it, haha.

So now you got two female shiny Rapidash?
I think we can both agree that a male one would have been better. :/

Congrats though.

Thanks Pingouin! Yeah, I agree ... I particularly thought the Rapidash's eye looked really blue. It's a strange effect. It's strange that they changed the colour from the GSC days, but I do think that the grey does look quite appealing, too. You get used to it. And yeah, why couldn't it have been a male?! I agree with you there, too. I'd already evolved my shiny Ponyta into a Rapidash, but oh well!

So, you're the same, huh? I have to fully evolve my shinies, too, because otherwise it feels like wasted potential.

Good luck with whatever you're hunting.

I'm hatching eggs in White at the moment ... trying for that Cottonee.

Good luck to everyone else, and congratulations on those latest shinies ... the Adamant Starly, CoD's Maractus, Helio's Beldum, and everyone else!

[Crimson_Blazer]

150 eggs in on this MM hunt. Does anybody else SR for their eggs? Im trying this method of hatching 5 and then resetting. DOnt really feel like emptying my boxes for eggs. On one of my resets all 5 of my riolu hatched female. What are the odds of that happening? Haha

[PaddysTurtwigFanClub]

Hey guys, i got work done tday, hatched a box and am working on a second. Total eggs hatched 246, good luck to all gl =D

That's how I always hunt for my masuda method shinies. I don't see the point in storing hundreds of eggs...


Right now I'm not really shiny hunting, I'm off to watch the Real Madrid vs Man City match, while collecting lots of the EV-giving wings in my UK Black - though I could always run into a shiny Ducklett while I'm at it. Later on I'll be doing more hunting in HG for my next badge quest shiny.

Many a time have I contemplated doing a Ducklett RE hunt.. it would mostly be for the EV wings with the excuse that I am "hunting" shiny Ducklett.

Anyway, Route 32 RE hunt is still going strong. A hoppip would be nice

I am not sure if I will continue with my Soul Silver BQ once BW2 come out, because I kind of want to do a Black 2 Badge Quest and having two at once would be a little frustrating for me. Also my MM targets (Glameow, etc.) are on halt until I purchase and beat White 2.

Actually, 32,768.

[TheMaster327]

I'm actually focusing almost exclusively on hunting the birds as of late, as I only have a limited time left with two DS systems (brother goes back to uni on Friday), so I'm hoping one shines before then so I can transfer it over...

[City Of Delusion]

WHATT O_O!? Ok, so as some of you might know I decided to take a break from hunting after I got Maractus. Today I decided to breed a modest Litwick with good IV's, and after a few eggs this happens!!!

http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/...deathlight.jpg

I'm in total shock! This is my 3rd random NON MM shiny I've gotten! Its Naive nature so everstone didn't work but its still a good nature for it so I'll definitely being using it. Its crazy how this always seems to happen when I take breaks from hunting but I'm really happy about it and can't wait to evolve it into a beautiful Chandelure. Good luck everyone and gratz on the recent shinies!

Give me your luck. Now! Congrats on what must be your 4th shiny this month? Lost count...

Yup!
I consider myself lucky to not have gotten a male shiny Ralts in Gen III. Otherwise, I would have fully evolved it and then we'd have heard about Gallade :/
Then there's also Magneton. If I got a shiny Magnemite/Magneton before Gen IV was announced, I would've trained it to Lv. 100 without knowing it'd have an evolution later :P

Good luck with whatever you're hunting.

Thanks!
Still hunting for that "secret" target I mentioned a week or so ago.
I can dual SR for it, so I'm hoping this can make it faster.

(Though for the moment I'm a little bit busy RNGing for an ID number of 00001 in Diamond)

I totally agree, since it seems any of us takes a break from our hunt, we find a different shiny. Still, an awesome shiny, and definitely worth training.

After this hunt of nearly 2 months, I've realized that my hunt has only really motivated me finish my homework faster. Maybe I should have long hunts more often.
Of course I want my shiny as soon as possible, but at least something good is coming out of it. Congrats on all the other shinies, and good luck everyone!

[Heliotrope]

(Though for the moment I'm a little bit busy RNGing for an ID number of 00001 in Diamond)

I just want to say that I got that ID number in a Sapphire file once. Didn't find any shinies in it though - and I spent about a month hunting in it during my five month shiny Mudkip hunt (I didn't even see any uncatchable shiny Poochyena :P )


I'm now at 4000 encounters for my next HG badge quest shiny, and I'm about to go to sleep, seeing as it's almost 1am here. Lol, good night guys, and congrats on new shinies. That shiny Litwick is really beautiful. *_*

When Yanmega was revealed, I remember thinking it must be sucks for those who already have lv 100 Shiny Yanma.......

So, you're the same, huh? I have to fully evolve my shinies, too, because otherwise it feels like wasted potential.

Hey, me too. Minccino, Pichu, and Eevee are the only exception so far, Minccino because I like the pink more than Cinccino's shiny color, Pichu because it is the event one, and Eevee because I only have one (it's a different story if I have enough Shiny Eevee for a complete set)







anyway, still MM-ing for Squirtle, 1370 Squirtle eggs, still no shiny yet.....

It's funny, because I was just thinking something similar about Gothorita and the entire Goth line. It makes me wonder why they didn't have a male evolution already ... I don't begin to know how the inner workings of making a game are, but I think it seems kind of silly/lazy to me to not have a male counterpart to something that clearly looks extremely feminine, especially when they've already done that in another gen.

Gothorita is appearing where I happen to be at the moment, and I was urging the game to not give me a shiny male one ... if it ever happens to appear, of course. I would sit on that shiny forever, not wanting to evolve it all the way, just in the vain hope that they may make a male evolution. But, at the same time I would always feel like he hadn't reached his full potential. And it's like that with other Pokemon, too ... like my shiny Sableye, for example ... or my Farfetch'd. Are they ever going to make evolutions or not. I have no idea whether a Sableye even needs one, but it would suck to have a shiny level 100 Sableye and an evolution is announced.

When Yanmega was revealed, I remember thinking it must be sucks for those who already have lv 100 Shiny Yanma.......

anyway, still MM-ing for Squirtle, 1370 Squirtle eggs, still no shiny yet.....

Yanma does look amazing, but yeah, I agree for sure.

Good luck with Squirt.

[Blizzardy]

So, how many "revenge shinies" have you guys got ?

I've got 3:
1) Bronzor: It was the first time that I encountered a bronzor (and back then, I didn't know there was such a thing as shiny pokemon), so I didn't know the colour was different from usual, and I thought that pokemon species had a cool sparkly animation. And I killed it. It wasn't until later that I found out it was a "shiny".
2) Rattata: I encountered a shiny Rattata in SS's Safari zone (of all places!), my heart jumped and I thought: Oh yeah, this one is mine, rattata's capture chance has to be high as it's such a common pokemon. I threw a ball, rattata came out...and fled... /sad.
3) Joltik: (as you may have read a page ago), never noticed I encountered one, until I saw the shiny form in my pokedex.

Oh and I' currently over 4k SR for Johto starter on HG and over 7k for Giratina on Diamond.
