>never found a shiny in my whole life
>set up a pokemon for trade today
>get a fucking shiny that was probably hacked in return
all the magic of finding my very first shiny in the wild ruined forever
>>27678980
Pic of the pokemon in question? It might be pretty convincing but some traits allow it to be highly suggested it's hacked.
How is the magic ruined? Just trade it away because it's hacked and forget about it.

>never found a shiny
>Gen 6 started near 3 years ago
Getting a shiny is so easy now, there's numerous methods of increasing your chances
>>27678980
finding a shiny is not that magical if you aren't a kid
>>27679050
>there's numerous methods of increasing your chances
It's not about maximizing your chances and hunting for one. You may as well just hack it in at that point. What makes shinies special is getting them when you don't expect it.

Are you a fucking child who gains pleasure looking at little sparkles?
>>27679095
It's certainly cool to find a shiny totally out of nowhere, but it's also super satisfying when you finally get one you've been trying for.
>>27679179
>he can't see why encountering and obtaining something extremely rare is special
You're on a fucking board for Pokemon, you oblivious retard. Have you always been incapable of having fun?
>>27679002
ok give me a minute
>>27679232
Sure, it's satisfying. It's not special though. It's just a check off that achievment. Two different types of feelings.
>>27678980
I'll inject you a shiny, anon :3
just ask in /wfg/
>>>/vp/wfg
>>27679267
This.
Shinies you specifically breed for are worthless.
>>27679268
>injecting in /wfg/
Has lord Billy taught you nothing? Are you sarah? fuck off sarah
>>27679342
I'm not Sara, no.
And who is billy?
Of course injections are allowed in /wfg/
>>27679368
>who is billy
The guy who manages /ekx/ now and does the giveaway threads weekly.
>>27679002
>>27679257
oh fuck you can't take pics with pokemon using miiverse
how the fuck do you do this?
>>27679414
use a webcam to take a pic of your phone taking a pic of said pokemon and their stats. I'll determine if theyre an injection or not.

>shit nature
it's legit
>>27679602
>>27679673
lol nm
it's like a fucking monkey whacking at powersaves
>>27679586
>>27679673
I reconstructed the IV config to match the stats and nature of the castform.
as >>27679667 said, and with these IVs, I rule it to be legit. Its trash though.
>>27679695
Actually, I rescind my judgment, I think this anon has it right.
>faraway place
yeah no thats never legit senpai, unless this thing was transferred from ruby/sapphire.
The date though is believable. The where is just no.
>>27679696
>>27679716
forgot the pic
>>27679716
apparently it would register as a faraway place if OP is using XY
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Faraway_place
also come help us inject in /wfg/, senpai

>>27679696

>>27679758
I am using X
so it's legit then? that makes it a lot better
thanks to whatever samaritan send this to me
>tfw still no shiny
>>27679790
wow anon, you caught an HA nest ball bulbasaur in the friend safari then bred it all the way up to 5iv with 3 egg moves? I'm impressed :^)
>>27679758
I cant im at work for 3 more hours, then I gotta go buy some new shoes.
And true, it could come from B2W2, it would be found at level 26.
>>27679802
it could potentially be. castform from B2W2 always have mystic water. congrats
>>27679814
No, I got an HA bulbasaur with ball from trade, it had shit IV though
OP, just breed your first. A couple years ago I also was annoyed that I've never had a shiny so I decided to breed it. It took a while, but I got my first shiny Ralts.
>>27679802
it's legit and shit.
Want it fixed? I can give it max IVs and a good nature.
Or just tell me your bro and I will make you a shiny level 1 of it
>>27679802
Eeeeeh? Who knows?
>>27679758
that's what /ekx/ is for
>>27679854
/ekx/ is a bait general. No one goes there but Billy and it clearly just dies off when he leaves
>>27679832
no thanks, I don't need every pokemon to have perfect IVs
castform is pretty much useless either way

I have never been graced with random shinies ever since
>>27678980
>>never found a shiny in my whole life
Shinies are worthless.
My first was a Level 2 female sentret caught on route 29 just down from the Aprikot tree.
>>27678980
That's not finding your first shiny.
>>27681194
>Shinies are worthless.
Everything is worthless. Stop being such a bore.
>>27680635
>faf
What is this, some new facebook meme?
>>27681194
Felt shinies were dumb as hell and even told my friends to calm down about them
Then I ran into my first shiny. Got a few more after that.
I like to show them off to friends now
>>27681237
Is it? I've been saying that word with my friends for years now
>>27678980
Do not be such a baby, OP. There are people less fortunate than you and I.
