Edit: I've pasted the IMG codes straight from photobucket, but they are coming up as links not pictures, not sure why this is? :/

If you scroll all the way down until the very bottom of this page, after the "Quick Reply" box you'll see "Posting Permission".

IMG code in GPD is being set as "off", basically IMG code cannot be used in any threads in GPD.

Next hunt will be Route 7, hoping for Shiny Seviper!

Good luck, I'm going to hunt for that one too, after I got the Cresselia that is. I already have a Shiny Zangoose, it just feels incomplete if I don't have a Shiny Seviper as well

Had a dream where every encounter was a shiny. :| YES.

LOL, anyway, I have a ton of the unova-dexers to get haxorus and oval charm. Need it for MMing. Doing marill again. it was fun, and I really like that shiny.

[master of murkrow]

I wish my target's middle evo and final evo swapped palettes. I don't want it to be PINK!

I think your secret hunt is a zubat?

[dan2point5]

Massive congrats guys. Haven't been on in a while so would take ages to name everyone. But I will say a personal congrats to TheMaster for finally grabbing shiny Ducklett! That's a real hunt of pure perseverance so I'm glad you got your reward.

My hunt is slowly coming along, I'm now at 4,300 RE's for my 4th BQ hunt. Hopefully I'll get a bit done this weekend but still so busy lately.

Good luck everyone!

Weird. I had the exact same dream.
So I'm up to 1902 Magnemite Encounters, and 82 Chimchars ... I have a long way to go.

Hey Guys, all of you that own a youtube account for shiny hunting, I have created one myself - http://www.youtube.com/user/ShinyHunterJonny
I would appreciate any views tbh as this account is brand new.

As for my hunts, I've started a hunt for shiny Karrablast in White up to 200 Encounters and route 32 in SS for mareep also 200 encounters

Congrats on all the new shinies and good luck on all your hunts

[KittyKitty3308]

Thanks for all the congrats on Groudon! The shiny gold colour is so much more amazing looking on the actual game than it is on the Pokedex page <3. Also, I wanna give thanks to KittyKitty3308 and other people that hunted Groudon/Kyogre/Rayquaza recently for keeping me motivated .

Aww. :3 you're very welcome. Glad my hunting could motivate others. Congrats on your shinies btw. as for me, I am still working on Eevee number 5. At around 70ish eggs out of 540 and I think like 2,300 REs. Its tough when u work 10 hour days to get anything done. :/ oh well

Happy hunting everyone and good luck!

Heh. I've had multiple dreams involving SRing for a shiny Latios. @_@ Haven't actually done that though... yet.

I've decided this year, I will aim to get at least 8 shinies - I will SR for Latios and Cresselia (two of the best shiny Legendaries in my opinion), and MM for Riolu, Phione, Bulbasaur, Cottonee, Gulpin and Vulpix. Need to finish Black 2 first though - I'm not even bothering with the Shiny Charm either, too hard to trade all those Pokemon! I'll continue hunting on B2 when I have X as well, as I'm still going to go for the shiny Lake Trio, Regis and Kyurem at the very least. Hopefully I won't need a Master Ball (looks at Virizion).

Congratulations to all on their new shinies and good luck to everyone, especially those with really long hunts!

[ShinyBlackWhite]

Hey everyone! Here's a preview of my new Shiny Card! I made it myself because I thought everyone else had too masculine of a Shiny Card design.

How do you like it?

Good luck on the Shiny Hunts as always!

The irony is that my brother and I collected about half of the same shinies. That was before he accidently deleted the game.

[DizzyCobraMew]

Ha ha ha after a VERY short 178 soft resets I got my bold shiny registeel and that's good it means my synchronizer worked yet again, I will post its summary momentariy http://s6.postimage.org/p2fqtyyh9/IMAG0217.jpg Mwa ha ha, I'm now trying for Azelf then possibly braviary if possible, I'm at 1240 soft resets for Azelf now, wish me luck

[iGotNoiPad]

I am at about 400++ eggs for my Chingling and still its not shiny.I got to be patience.

[TheEliteEmpoleon]

This is getting ridiculous... I'll hunt today a lot, so here's hoping today will finally start my Badge Quest.

[supersmew]

I'm picking up my old hunt for Abra in the Game Corner, however I may trade a Abra over to my White 2 for Masuda Reasons. I need a Synchronizer. -w-'

As for my Secret Target, after a bit of breeding I realised it has Muddy Water! So wanting it to have Swift Swim like some of the offspring do. Also wanting it to be a male. Sheesh, I'm so picky

[ChipperDipper]

Okay, so I'm having to stop SRing for chimchar at 140, yet I'm still going strong at Magnemite with 2095.
Congrats on everyone's shinies!

[Lunafloon]

Quick congrats to everyone who got shinies lately! Especially, as many people have said, to Master on their successful Ducklett hunt!
I think it's been to long since I last posted to go through and list all of you, but I have been reading the thread everyday!

Just thought I'd finally post an update since it's been a while. Village Bridge (White 2) still hasn't produced any shinies after 10,152 RE, despite having the Shiny Charm for nearly half of that. I think mine must be broken so far, but I'll just carry on and hope for the best! My boyfriend told me to go somewhere else since I'm tired of seeing blue Marills and red Zangooses, but I'm determined to get something at Village Bridge after all this time!
I also started my Black 2 Badge Quest today! Currently SR-ing for Snivy despite planning to get my first badge shiny at Floccesy Ranch. I'll see how long I can last with Bianca's constant talking and then I'll either get a shiny Snivy or move to the Ranch, I don't mind either way!
As for my Platinum Badge Quest, still not starting it till I get a shiny on White 2, but I'm starting to consider SR-ing for Chimchar. Not sure though since I've heard a few people complain that Platinum is a pain to reset for the starters. If not, I'll be at Route 202 hoping for a Shinx or a Starly! SoulSilver is still taken up by my Nuzlocke, but I still plan to do a 16 Gym Badge Quest after I've finished one of my other BQs!

Good luck everyone on your shiny hunting endeavors, and send me luck for White 2 to give me something D:

Does soft resetting my 3DSXL damage my system in any way? And if it doesn't, how do you do that? xD

Hope asking questions isn't against the rules.

[Emily101]

Soft resetting on the 3DSXL is fine. You just press L, R, SELECT and START at the same time (L and R being the shoulder buttons. SELECT and START are located on either side of the home button.)

I am now 120 eggs into my Zorua shiny hunt. I am mm'ing and I have the shiny charm but still no luck. I expect to get one before 1000 eggs but it's all about luck.

Just don't press down really hard on the shoulders. That broke mine once. Also a lot of people use rubber bands to hold them down without having to press them all the time, but I don't know if that does anything bad.

I've used rubber bands before, and while it makes SR'ing much easier, you don't want to keep them on all the time, or you risk wearing out the L/R buttons. That temporarily happened to my brother's 3DS, but since they work now, maybe it's not a huge risk. I'd still exercise caution with rubber bands, since I also broke a few rubber bands that were strained too much.

Meanwhile, I've been getting great progress on my BQ, at 6400 RE's. I still hope to see a Rhyhorn, simply because it would be easier to weaken it without any risks, so I can catch it in a Premier Ball easily. I've also never used one in-game, so it would be a much more fresh experience in comparison to the others. Congrats on the recent shinies, and good luck to all!

[YNCRN]

First off, congrats to cocoa on the shiny Eevee, DizzyCobraMew on the Registeel, Jonny7197 on the Chikorita, and last but not least TheMaster327 for FINALLY finding your Ducklett!!

As for myself, how about two shinies in a week!?

My semi mystery hunt is over! After 498 eggs a Jolly, shiny Rufflet hatched!!

He's now a shiny, blue Braviary! Although I'm a little disappointed with his HP, Defense, and Special Defense stat, but I think I'll get over it!

Images, Pokecheck, and video below - and of course, my sig has been updated with the new Black 2 frames as that's what I'm playing now!!
