Gratz on the recent shinies everyone!
As for me, still nothing! Shinies are still findable
no matter what you edit in "options", right?
I'm just making sure, don't want to chance it lol.

[Jdrawer]

My only Shiny was a Wurmple in Ruby? Maybe Sapphire?
Well, that and Red Gyarados, but I don't count him a Shiny.

[TheMaster327]

Been a while since my last update...

5,100 REs for Ducklett... Boy, this is starting to get boring...

Congrats to Cocoa on Magnemite! You may even catch me up!

well, first you have to explain, what "options" are you talking about?

Sadly, though, it's a male Mareep [Come on, game! Really?! :C ]

What's wrong with a male one?

[darkdrapion]

Options as in turning off Battle Scene, Saving before IR, and anything else there was, sorry I didn't really put that clearly, I don't think it does either, just in case though.

530 Snover eggs hatched and no shiny! Sad times, but I will come back to it in the future, probably with the Shiny Charm this time :)

Right now I'm just writing out a list of all the Pokémon I need to finish the National Dex, thought I was pretty funny putting the Shiny Charm in the "Hunting" part of my signature, I'm a little lame >3<
Anyways, I'm also probably going to start Shaymin soon, don't know if I'll finish or start a BQ half way through but I can always hope it'll shine quickly. I finally bought Black 2 last night so will be getting that next week :D

Congrats on any shinies that showed while I was, again, away from Serebii for a while and good luck getting the one's who haven't sparkled yet! Especially that Ducklett, I can't imagine hunting in the bird shadows (or whatever they're supposed to be).

[EMP_Pinkie_Pie]

What's wrong with a male one?

There's nothing wrong. I guess I wanted a female because it fits better.

But, anyway, I'm 12 Maractus eggs away from 90. No Shiny yet. Maybe I'll get lucky and get it either later tonight or sometime tomorrow.

UPDATE: Hells, yeah! Got a Shiny Maractus at 103 eggs! Male, Docile, and with the Water Absorb Ability.

Hello guys and congrats on all the shinies since I last posted.
I didn't had much time lately but I'll restart my regirock hunt !
I'm on about 300 SR until now !

[Shiny Lord]

Photo 144.jpgOMFG! I just now caught the final shiny of my White 2 Badge Quest! A shiny Male Swablu Impish Nature on Route 14 after 12,264 RE! Totally unexpected and was my first choice to shine from this route! I can't believe I actually managed to finish this before New Years! Now I plan to beat the rest of the game and then complete the pokedex to get shiny charm!

[ChaoticInverse]

Hi everyone,

Congrats on all the new shinies!

Just thought I'd stop in. I've been rather lazy with hunting lately and have been instead focusing more on beating my soul silver which I accomplished. So now I'm hatching all of the leftover eggs from previous MM hunts and then I'm going to start going for eevee. That's the plan anyways though I'm not sure how long I'll stick with it because part of my is saying it wants to MM for another shiny mareep (I evolved mine fully into an amphy and I'd still like a flaafy because they're adorable) but I do want to reclaim my eevee so who knows.

And on a different issue I really don't like how you can't trade between fourth and fifth gen: I want to start my black version over because I rushed through very fast and I just kind of want to enjoy playing through everything and I'd totally reset it if it wasn't for my Shiny Zebstrika and My shiny cottonee. Too bad I don't have a white or another black version to trade to.

I just realized this entire post was kind of pointless so I'm sorry, good luck on all the hunts!

[Cpchris]

Finished 100 REs a little while ago today. But I also worked 11 hours today, so that took away a bit of hunting time...But tomorrow, I don't have work, so I should be able to get more done!

Good luck everyone, and congrats on today's shinies!

[StarscreamFangirl]

So, just in time for my post about possibly giving up my hunt look who shows up after almost a year of on/off searching!

Was going for a Naughty nature to make him a good Attacker on the team but he ended up being Quirky. Not the best all around IV's but I've already finished EV training him and he's part of the family now. Ended up naming him Marcurio after my favorite Skyrim follower (Simply because both he and my soon to be Zoroark have ponytails).

[Shine]

congrats on the Zorua

There's nothing wrong. I guess I wanted a female because it fits better.

different people, different opinion, I guess

Options as in turning off Battle Scene, Saving before IR, and anything else there was, sorry I didn't really put that clearly, I don't think it does either, just in case though.

of course not. They don't have anything to do with shinies






Anyway, I'm currently thinking to stop SR-ing legends for a while and just do RE on random routes. I just want to get another shiny before this year ends ._.

[TheEliteEmpoleon]

I just want to get this cursed pig before the new year...

[Charoshi]

I'm starting to get really discouraged on this badge quest... I've been RE for over 2 weeks, I've now doubled the odds and I still don't have my 2nd shiny...

16600 REs now and nothing to show for it. I could deal with a long hunt later on, but early it's so discouraging

[asdfDAN]

First ever shiny was a Darumaka 3-4 hours in my Pokemon White, I felt so happy getting it (especially since I had seen my friends catch shinies in front of me).

Also legendaries in B/W 2 can be SR'd for (like Cresselia, the Regis, Lati@s ect)?

[Heliotrope]

Hi, guys. I haven't really been hunting much lately, since I've been trying to build up my join avenue in Black 2; AKA: getting the nursery (hey Shine, in my B2 join avenue your character, "BRIGHT" is there running a beauty salon ^.^ ) and trying to complete the Pokedex. I just finished the Unova dec yesterday and got the round charm, but I've still got some way to go before I can get my shiny charm.

But I'm now at 21,600 encounters in my Heart Gold badge quest, just over 5800 encounters in my White 2 badge quest, and have done 2035 SR for shiny Thundurus in White. I'm nearly ready to restart Black so that a can hunt for a shiny Tornadus, too.

Good luck guys. Congrats on new shinies.

Also legendaries in B/W 2 can be SR'd for (like Cresselia, the Regis, Lati@s act)?

Yes, they can.

[Scrufox86]

I thought i'd already posted this one here.... maybe i didn't hit the post button. Well anyway since my shiny tranquill i decided to go get a damp ability golduck so i could shiny hunt in giant chasm. Anyway it was a good thing i did because i found a shiny Solrock and caught it after only 373 RE's! my quickest RE yet. I am already starting my next RE on route 15 hoping for either Gligar or Sandslash to shine. Congratulations on all other recently gained shinies!

[Dylz]

Congratulations Shiny Lord for finishing your BQ. :-D


Haha I guess my tip about the damp pokémon worked out Scrufox :3 Otherwise you'd had same problem as me. D:

currently on 2k SR's, getting to 2.5k today. If I'm on a day when chilling with friends, I do max 500. And if I have no one to go to I probably get around 1.5k :3

EDIT: Currently on 2.7k SR's, taking a break. Tonight before sleep I will be going for 3k. I'm pretty sure I will get over the odds. I will be outraged if I get another shiny Toto :-*(

[Bluemiracle]

Congrats on the recent shinies I started a few days my second Snorunt hunt so I can have a female shiny one which I'll evolve to Froslass. 885 eggs hatched so far. Hoping to get her before Jan CH starts ^^

Good luck to everyone

[Toxic Nightshade]

Congratulations on the new shinies! I've been in a drought lately, so i'm hoping that will change for my Drifloon MM. I'm doing it in W2, and without the shiny charm. After drifloon shines the Charm will be next on my list. :P

[KittyKitty3308]

Finally!!!! 3rd shiny Eevee obtained!!! This one was from egg breeding and happened after the 1,229th egg! It is a male with a calm nature (+Sp. Def, - Atk) with the Run Away ability as well. All 3 so far has had that ability, but oh well. It looks like this one might be my shiny Umbreon or Espeon. Not sure yet. Depends on what my others will have!

Anyways, happy hunting everyone, congrats on all the recent shinies, and good luck everyone!!! (Picture may be coming soon!)

[City Of Delusion]

Ohhhh my god, I have some news! Late last night finally after 18,385 encounters shiny Vibrava appears!

http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2a1de7fa.jpg

I wanted shiny Skarmory more since I already have a Flygon but I don't mind a 2nd one since shiny Flygon is beast! Nature is Relaxed which is meh but it seems to have a max speed IV which is great. But the news doesn't stop there! In the car, heading to my sisters house (which is where I use the computer to post) a shiny Frillish appears after only 448 encounters!!!

http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/...ps5eb95c0a.jpg

I can't believe it but I actually completed this BQ before New Years!! I was hunting here for Male Frillish or Spheal but I got female Frillish instead and I already got shiny female Jellicent :[ But I don't mind, I'll just hunt for Male Frillish and Skarmoy later. After I play through the rest of story I'll be going for the Oval charm to help with MM'ing and breeding in general. I won't be jumping on the shiny charm bandwagon though.. still not a fan of it. Gratz on all the shinies lately especially Cocoa on Magnemite, 3rd Eevee for KittyKitty and on completing your BQ Shiny Lord! Good luck everyone!!

[darkdrapion]

Wow, gratz on all the recent shinies, looks like good luck is here!
I've been completing my dex for both Charms though, Seen 638/649
