What are you hunting?

>>27413107
I'm thinking about MMing HA snivy or HA emboar. Haven't decided yet since I like both shinies.

Now that we're getting hyper training, I feel like killing myself for MMing all those shiny wynauts with knot instead of everstone.

What should i hunt /shw/?
Bouffalant, Deerling, Karrablast, Pineco, Magnemite, Larvesta, Onix, Scyther, Skarmory, Mawile, Piplup, Shieldon, Burmy, Bonzor, Riolu, Nosepass, Ferroseed, Durant, Klink, Klefki, Weedle, or Nidoran-M

Nidoran-M, just because I like Nidoking's shiny.

Is it possible to get legendary shinys by saving the game infront of one and then keep reloading every time ?
>>
>>27417991
Depends on the legendary and the game.
http://www.serebii.net/games/shiny.shtml
Scroll down to the bottom and take a look at the list of shiny locks. These are the legendaries that you can't find a shiny of in-game. The method you described will work with any others.

Just hatched a shiny froakie.

Welp, at least there's Sun and Moon to fix it.

I've already released most of the rejects but I still have a box of eggs to hatch later so if anyone wants a random 5iv frokie egg just ask.

How long does it take to encounter a shiny when trying to hunt it actively? For ORAS.

I dont think I have the patience to run away and encounter over and over again for hours.
>>
>>27421163
Chaining probably 1 or 2 hours.
>>
>>27421223

That little? Not too bad...

Chaining is when you use the DexNav, right? What if you fuck up and make the mon run away?
>>
>>27421319
>What if you fuck up and make the mon run away?
Then you can add more time, unfortunately. I was running AS the other day and decided to get try getting a shiny machop for in-game purposes. Took me like 1h30m to get it without the shiny charm. WIth the shiny charm if I don't fuck up I usually get one within 2 hours.
>>
>>27421163
If youre looking for ten minutes, go to ebay, but otherwise for me it takes like at least 10-15 hordes

>>27413107
Finally got that Shiny Ducklett I've been hatching for in B2 from last week, however

>Male
>Sassy Nature

I was not having that and made the biggest sacrifice to soft reset to before that egg was made and going for another shot to at least get a female. Whether or not it is a dumb move is your opinion but I'm sticking to my guns.
>>
>>27421163
I got a Swablu in about 30 minutes.
MMing will get you something more suited for battle, but takes longer.

That's good then. Good luck anon.
>>
>>27421707
Masuda Method.
When you're breeding a Pokémon, if one of the parents is from a different locale, say and ENG with a JAP, the chances for the egg to be a shiny are doubled.
This stacks with the Shiny Charm, bringing your chances to 4x without it.
So from a 1 in 8000 to a 1 in 2000.
>>
>>27421725
>>27421904

Thanks guys.

I just did my first Masuda method for a Pokemon catching/hunting Parasect, and after 405 eggs, he has shone. He's got Damp and the egg move Sweet scent, and after I train him, he'll have false swipe and spore as well. I doubt I'll ever Masuda method again, it's just not for me.

Now I'm onto SRing for a shiny Anorith for my badge quest.

I dunno man, that makes each encounter take longer

I know, but I'm autistic as hell and like to use my shinies as much as possible in-game, so when I decided to hunt for a paras, I thought "might as well breed for one I'll use often".

Hey there. I've participated in these threads a few months (years?) ago, and stopped playing pokemon for a while. Some of you may remember me for the safari zone shiny experiment i was performing.

Anyways, i'm back to playing pokemon and i'd like someone to add me and remind me what my safari zone pokemon in X and Y are.

I've also forgot my old tripcode so i've created another. Hell, I don't even remember if i had one back then.

Thank you.

That's a shame. Hopefully it'll get better once SM comes out.

Have fun with Wimpod, it runs at half health. Though it'll probably have a 255 catch rate.

The threads should pick up once a new game comes out.

>>27413107
Not to rub it in anon, but lookie what I got. I know it's probably hacked, but I didn't do it myself. It's my second shiny ever.
>>
>>27424249
Eh, nothing jumps out to me.
Inactive PKRS, Blue Orb rather than the Life Orb I see most injected mons holding, Luxury Ball is entirely legal, no strange moves, no HA, the OT isn't a Twitch channel. I can't read stats for shit, so that might be perfect.

>>27424159
I'm hoping Litten's shiny colors are as good as Fennikin's.

>>27424318
You will never be able to tell the difference between a legit and injected pokemon unless it has illegal moves/impossible stats you fucking goofball.

The game runs on RNG

>>27424318
It had Pokerus when I got it, and I gave it the Blue Orb. It had something dumb like an Amulet coin when I got it.

I've got about half a box of shinies off of Wonder Trade, and they have recurring themes.

It was like 3 hours right there.. Although my dumbass didnt know you couldnt save in the middle of chaining, so I fucked up somewhere in the middle of it.
Also, what do you do when it tells you the pokemon cant be found?

Run around the grass patch and keep trying to search for it. Make sure you keep an eye on your Repels

>>27425061

>>27424547 here, I've found that stepping a few steps OUT of the grass and hitting search seems to work. If that doesn't work, just run around in circles and keep tapping Search until it shows up. Bring along hundreds of Repels, and keep in mind you could get 200 in and not get it, or get it right away.

Are you fucking kidding me? I look for Minccino for hundreds of encounters and this purple fuck appears when I'm not looking.

If you get a shiny to emerald somehow and port them up, you can use them to get basically anything on GTS. All these shiny Golbats and Regice i have are how I'm going to fill SM's dex.

Unfortunately not. Sorry.
>>
>>27434614
I've ported them to diamond so far, I just need to port them to gens 5 and 6, I have been out of the game since around 2011, I even have a manaphy from Pokemon ranger and the XD jirachi legit but I just bought a 2DS last week and plan on buying Black 2, X, and eventually moon. Do I just need those games and the pokebank to port up?
>>
>>27435315
Yes. There's another program to port from BW/B2W2 to XYORAS, but it's free with Bank.
And eventually you'll be able to send Pokemon from the Virtual Console Gen 1 games to S&M, which likely means that Mew will be plentiful.

Also, since you're getting Black 2, you should know about Pokémon Dream Radar, a game that lets you catch Pokémon with their Hidden Abilities in Dream Balls, which was previously only possible in the Dream World online game.

And in case you didn't know, the ball the female was caught in can be passed down by breeding, in most cases, and some people like to coordinate the color of a shiny Pokémon with the ball.

Fennekins. Been MM-ing for a very long time now, have bred about 750 (and counting, I'm hatching more as I type this) with no luck. Doesn't help that I've never found a legitimate shiny (i.e. not gyarados or an event) in all my years of playing these games.

I wound up getting a shiny Fletchling last night while breeding for one with Gale Wings. It's super subtle. I almost released it before I noticed.

i bought oras and started shiny hunting for my whole team 3 days ago; first day got a shiny seedot (438 dexnav encounters, not chaining) second day got my numel (343 horde encounters), aaaaaaaand now ive spent two days horde hunting a swablu with nothing ;A; lost count at around 250 encounters, but its definitely over 400, maybe 500 by now :'|

spent four hours with a 300+ chain of Dexnav Vulpix. No luck, ran out of repels. Going for a Spinda instead because I love Spinda. If I get one, even with a relaxed or sassy nature (using synchronize of course), would it even be worth attempting to EV train or give it decent moves? Or would it best be off as an over pampered Contest Mon?
>>
>>27438288
I do not, because fuck completing the national dex with over 700 pokemon. It was a massive pain in the ass in Soulsilver with 493, and 5th gen's transfer minigame sucks ass so I don't feel too inclined to do that.

Completing it would also take time I could be using to breed more fennekins.

When X and Y came out I tried the MM for the first time since I've never tried it before - note that I tried it really early on in the game since I wanted a goomy on my team really bad. I hatched over 2000 eggs before I realized it wasn't working and haven't played X and Y since.

We're mostly lonely virgins autistic enough to look for alternate palettes in virtual pets for hours and hours on end. When a female with the same autistic hobby as us struts over, more so doing it for an almost impossibly hard target, well guess what happens.
