400 eggs in for a 4-5iv Adamant croagunk, doing it the MM Method. Last shiny was a larvesta almost a month ago. And I wouldn't go through this hell without the shiny charm.

Hunting for a Shiny Roggenrola
Hording through Reflecting Cave
Ain't gotten shit. My luck with Shiny Pokemon is so fuckin bad. I suppose the last shiny would be a Whismur that I got like, two years ago. It actually had really good IV's (I don't remember then) and it's Hidden Ability. My gf at the time had been looking for one for years so I gave it to her.

>>28611203
Forgot to mention I don't have a Shiny Charm because I'm not wasting my time getting that shit when I'm just going to reset the game again as I always do. I'm trying to bide my time til Moon as much as I can so I'm just replaying Gen 6 over and over again so I can fully enjoy Gen 7.

Just wanted to say, that I finally completed a living 'dex and got my shiny charms in X and Alpha Sapphire this past week. Haven't started trying for anything yet but good luck to everyone

>>28611224
If you do hunt, try chain fishing first. It's probably the easiest method besides DexNav and Friend Safari, unless you want to MM your favorite Pokemon.

Got Registeel, Latias and Latios within the last three days. Going for Ho-oh and Lugia currently.

>>28611299

Not fucking bad at all

About 12 boxes in so far for a shiny charmander. Haven't got a 6iv female yet. Afraid that when I do get it'll have blaze not like solar power is anything to write home about

>>28614319
Is this serious?
Do you even know how IVs works?

>>28614732
A lot of fangames show IVs so he's probably right.

>>28614732
This screen literally is named EV & IV so I think yes

390 eggs

>>28611014
30 boxes (with charm) into MM for a hippopotas, the last member of my new sand team. I swear this game can sense when you're in a rush and is doing this to taunt me.

>>28615633
Not bad dude. Chikorita is really cute.

Hatched this beauty last night. Hatched a shiny mawile yesterday morning

>>28617117
What ball is this in? Have any breedjects I could have?

>>28617230
Mohammed

>>28617460
Dream ball. And yeah.

The foreign shinx I used had 4 IVs and I used the dex nav to catch a father with at least 3, so most of them should have pretty good spreads. All breedjects are adamant and know the moves thunder fang, ice fang, eerie impulse, and signal beam.

Any preferences?

>>28617570
Just female in dream ball with egg move, ivs don't matter. What do you want for it? I have mawile, gligar, zubat, and mareep breedjects all with balltism

>>28617805
Mawile works for me

Putting things in the wrong field in the year 2016

>>28618040
Just put up a mawile for a level 1-10 female shinx

>>28618115
That works too. Enjoy

I encountered my first shiny in over a decade the other day without even trying. All those long hours with no results and I happen upon one by pure chance. Shit. It was a numel.

>>28618219
Thanks, I appreciate it

Chained in Route 12. Let me tell you, that was a nightmare

>>28619030
How long was the final chain and why was it terrible?

>>28619268

I stopped at around 42.

The area I was using was a 5 x 11, so getting the desired 3 to 4 squares away was tedious. When I did get to 40, I spent an hour chaining back to back with nothing showing. Chained two more times, then got the fast music, immediately started resetting the radar, nothing showed. Took a break, finally spent the last hour searching again and getting it

>>28619471
As monotonous as MM is, this is exactly why I don't chain. Ramping stress and RNG don't lend themselves to a relaxing Sunday afternoon.

>>28619511

At least with MM'ing you can do other things. It requires full attention. Which is why I'm going back to my Deino hunt. Was just taking a break from that for a hopefully easy chain. Halfway through that run I wished I was back hatching

I'm hunting for a Phantump using DexNav. This is my first time shiny hunting, and I don't have a shiny charm because it makes no sense time-wise to try to get it when SuMo is released in two months

>>28621236
That's why I set my goal for a living dex before Sun and Moon come out at the BEGINNING of the summer. You waited too long bruh

Though to be honest, if you don't drag your feet like I did you have plenty of time. Especially if you utilize the GTS and take advantage of Blissey bases, and make sure to grow a bunch of ev-lowering berries for wheen you absolutely have to have a friendship evolution. I also suggest spending time on the Global Link website playing the balloon popping game for evolution items, everything on there only costs half the pokemiles until sun and moon service begins.

So from a friends suggestion, I named this thing Naked Snail because it had fucking Weak Armor

So I caught a non-shiny so I can go on Masuda's Wild Ride for the first time, to get a shiny Smoochum.

Wish me luck.

>>28611014

What are you hunting for? Nothing just filling out gaps in living pokedex
How are you doing it? Technically masuda method
What have you gotten recently? A pink sealo
Do you have the Shiny Charm? Yes

>get bored of masuda-ing for a bit
>decide to look up what different shinies look like
>fucking shiny vivillion looks great despite just going from black to white
>somehow end up collecting non-shiny vivillion formes on GTS
>go back to masuda

This is the life.

I want a shiny sneasel but i have no shiny charm to make it a faster get.
I dont even have hoenn dex filled out all the way for the oval charm.
The last shiny i got was 2 shroomish back to back while farming eggs so i was lucky.

>>28622453
Good luck and nice snail/

34 boxes and my sand team is complete!

>>28623231
>no oval charm

You're gonna have a bad time.

>>28625505
Well i started working on it. I only need about 10 more pokemon for the hoenn dex to be complete. Most of them are easy i just have to level up some pokemon
But getting the trade evolution held items are a bitch.
Plus im thinking of putting up my deoxys or groudon for the kyoge i need to be done.

>tfw no shinies this weekend from endless Friend Safari, MMing and horde encounters

A-at least chain fishing counts, r-right?

ayyy

Sorry it's so blurry I got really excited and didn't focus right. More pics coming since I just caught the thing.

I still haven't hatched a Shiny Tyrunt yet, been doing this for about a month.

Funny thing is I forgot to bring a Pokemon with synchronize. Turned out to be adamant, so that could have went a lot worse. I definitely made some mistakes but I'm pretty damn happy with my first legendary hunt. 31/x/x/31/31/x but I can fix that in a few months.

>>28625925
>>28625902
you can do it guys

>>28626394
I'm up to about 26 boxes so chances are I won't be getting my 2nd shiny Houndour tonight.

I'm estimating 15 boxes of charmanders so far... lost count and started releasing them instead of boxing. Still no 6 iv female either.

>>28626394
Thanks for the motiv, fortunately I took a break and decided to finish the dex and obtain the shiny charm last week.

I'm using a JP Liligant as a parent for my shiny hunt. What are my odds without shiny charm?

>>28611212
I just have my living dex on pokebank, that way you insta complete the national dex on any game.

bump bc I hunt throughout the week

>get all kinds of shinies via wonder trade, many which are clearly legit because they're too obviously terrible not to be
>Meanwhile I've probably gone through 300 Gastly

>>28611066
Good luck senpai I'm 210 into my croagunk hunt

>>28628578
Yeah, I'm sure they put up those hard-earned legit shinies on Wonder Trade.

>>28628578
My Gastly popped out at 114. With 4iv, missing SpAtk and Speed

Not like this

>>28628805
Agreed it's fishy, but if you're going to hack a shiny pokemon, why a Seviper from Friend Safari with shit IVs and a bad nature?

>>28628874
Doesn't really matters with s/m

>>28628874
I also don't have either charm which won't help. Is it true that MM doesn't apply if both mons are from a different region than you, even if they're from different regions themselves?

>>28628899
Some people do it solely to fuck up the ecosystem and, in their eyes, make shinies more easily available.

>>28628928
As long as they're from different regions from each other it works.

>>28628932
I don't think as many of these people exist as you're suggesting, although I could easily be wrong.

>>28628899
That's the genius of it.

The d-pad is starting to fail on me. I can't quite explain it

I need to "warm" the up direction before I get it to register. Then it doesn't give much trouble, until I spend a decent length of time not pressing it.

Also I'm close to filling the Bank, I guess it's near time to nuke the ecosystem.

Have a great week everyone, and good luck out there!

DexNav for Larvesta. I insist on doing it not really focused, so it won't get really tiring. 56 encounters in right now, taking a break.

Also levelling up some EV-trained Pokemon at the same time by killing Larvesta and Kricketune.

>>28630201
>close to filling the bank
How? Do you really save that many breedjects?

>>28630201
The same exact thing is happening to me with the Up-directional button. That's why I put a slight halt on MMing on my OR.
