I finally went for the thread mascot earlier this week, probably should've tested defensive ampharos before breeding a shiny one but I guess I'm a masochist

So guys, have you gotten a shiny of your favorite Pokemon yet? Do you like its shiny? Did it come out any good or do its stats leave something to be desired?

>>28771969
>evolving it

>>28772008
my favorite pokemon is scolipede and I actually don't like the shiny as much as the standard colors, I like the red but I'm not crazy about the light blue rings

my second favorite is magnezone though and I spend a couple weeks breeding a shiny one with hidden power fire, definitely worth it

Yeah, its HP isn't great, but it's Unaware and hyper training will fix it

>>28772045
I'm not quite at the point where I'm breeding shinies just to sit in my PC as trophies

I mean, technically that's what I'm ending up doing, but it's not my intention

>hyper training will fix it
literally the greatest addition for shiny hunters everywhere

>>28772266
Now all we need is a fucking hidden ability capsule and we'll be set. I had to do 58 boxes before i got that Wooper, because the first one was Water Absorb

>>28772301
yeah, I hatched a shiny overgrow chesnaught awhile back

I could probably just play mind games and have my opponent believe it has bulletproof while getting a bonus overgrow boost, but I feel like actually having it would be better

>>28772348
>tfw hatched a shiny bulletproof chespin
>tfw less than a box
>tfw just wanted it to use in amie

If anybody has a shiny Chespin they don't want, i'll trade you

>>28772008
As much as I love Scizor, green just doesn't work on them.

LF old MM females.

>>28772418
All of those work aside from the white one.

>Nothing seems to be biting...
>Huh? But there don't seem to be any Pokemon nearby...

I've got some things I'd like removed in SM.

>>28772418
I definitely would have preferred a Silver Scizor. Green... eh. Just a Scyther pallet swap.

>>28772008
I'm still on the Smeargle hunt since I lost my last one. I love the red and cream combo so I'm gonna try to get it in a Level Ball

>>28773169
How'd you lose your Smeargle?

Currently hunting with MM for shiny cacnea; I bred a 6IV cacturne with my jap import Y and a 6IV cacturne on my english version, it should be guranteed to be 5 IV if the parents are holding destiny knot right?

>>28773550
yes, though there's no guarantee which IV will be the imperfect one

>>28771167
>What are you hunting for?
The first to show up in Route 32 (in StormSilver).
>How are you doing it?
Running like a retard in the Grass.
>What have you gotten recently?
Shiny Fennekin like 1 year ago (XY).
>Do you have the Shiny Charm? What's your excuse?
In XY yes.

I do a Shiny Badge Quest Challenge in StormSilver, I don't have any shiny and badge yet.
I'm a fucking masochist.

>>28773398
Omega Ruby save file got corrupted after it kept failing to load (that please turn off system message). After it happened i noticed there was a bunch of threads mentioning it happening frequently. I actually lost all my /shw/ shinies since i had brought the other half from bank on there to do some team building (dumb move on my part). What sucks is that i meant to send my Smeargle over to X to get some moves but never got around to it.

THIRTY BOXES OF PHANTUMP

WAKE ME UP

In the process of hatching another 4 boxes of igglybuff, boxes 12-15. All done this weekend. Please Mistah Masuda come through. I hate hatching igglybuffs, I can only stockpile 3 eggs at a time per load into my pc because if I go for more they start hatching.

>>28771167
>What are you hunting for?
Heracross
>How are you doing it?

>What have you gotten recently?

>>28778292
I just got a shiny slowpoke through MM, too bad it didn't have regenerator.

whats ya'lls favourite method of shiny hunting? I'm partial to chain fishing because it's easy and relaxing.

>>28779310
Grass Dexnaving, it's not hard and there's a chance you'll get a damned good pokemon.

Relatively high reward for low risk

>>28779310
soft reseting because I hate my life

>>28779310
hatching eggs because it's almost always more than viable to battle with, and once the stats of the parents are settled it's something I can just use to keep my hands busy while I'm watching things

Hunting Skrelp now. Hopefully I can get it before next weekend

>>28776294
Why didn't you post with a pic then.

>>28779927
MM? Either way good luck.

Been at Binacle for over 1200 eggs now....it's time to stop

>chain fishing
>high as fuck chain
>a pokemon bites for 0,001 seconds
>mfw

Gonna chain fish for a Tentacool. First time I'm trying this. Curious if it's really as easy as everyone says.

>>28781224
Don't know if I like it more than DexNav. Chances for shiny encounters are higher, but you have to concentrate, while I don't really have to pay attention with DexNav hunting.

Got a chain of 56 and a few smaller ones. Sadly no Tentacool yet, but got a shiny 'Karp in a chain of 3 (talk about luck), but I'm don't really care about Gyarados so not sure what I'm going to do with it.

What's the shortest and longest chains you've ever had while chain fishing?
Out of the 15 shines I've caught fishing, the shortest was Basculin at 13 and longest was Barboach at 214. Funny thing was, I had the shiny charm for Barboach but not Basculin.

Hatched this 15 minutes ago after about 800 eggs hatching my first one.

>>28781122
>high as fuck chain
I actually read that line as "I was high af fuck"

>>28782917
remoraid at 4, longest fruitless chain was that broke randomly after 83 normal feebas encounters. my longest chain ever was 204 i think? i broke it purposely because i had already caught a shiny of every pokemon in the area by that point on just that one chain

>>28785914
I used a Quick Ball for it for Medicham, but I did use a Premier for a previous shiny Meditite.

Houndour anon from above. This is my fucking 18th shiny Zubat overall, and I was using Magnet Pull after 3 days without nothing until now.

>What are you hunting for?
Scyther

Chikorita

Who doesn't, gen 6's been out for like 3 years.

>>28771167
I stoped hunting shinus after realising I was cursed. Hatched in X 1200 aerodactyl eggs and when stoped found shiny bidoof in new diamond sav (hate bidoof with the deepest part of ma soul). About 7 months later found shiny dragonair in safari. I catched it, of course . My 2ds decided that the best moment to stop reading the cartridge was that moment, WHILE THE FUCKING SAVING. I have my Y game corrupted and unusefull.

keep at it

Dumb question but how do you get level 1s in pokeballs other than the standard basic red/white one?

>>28789150
I'm up to 3137 SR for Cresselia as of typing. Longest was 4465 for Raikou. Best I've ever done was 10 SR for Zekrom. Not sure if this gives you any encouragement

Nope

I'm too fucking lazy to complete the Dex

Shiny Axew with masuda/shiny charm. Been at it all day, no luck yet.

>>28789761
You should trade for bank ball pokemon and breed shiny versions.

Balltism is the best form of autism.

I kind of want to breed a shiny smoochum named Lolita.

Got this girl absurdly quickly. I can't even call it an MM attempt because I hadn't even put the japanese parent in the daycare yet.

>>28791462
What kind of ball? How many egg moves? IVs? Did you nickname it?

>>28791511
Premier Ball. I didn't breed for any egg moves because all of larvesta's egg moves are fucking terrible.
HP, Def, SAtk, and SDef all have 31 IVs. Not sure what the Speed IV is yet.
I haven't named her yet because I haven't thought of one, but I would like to name her if I can get a good one.

Well, I mean, it's the thought that counts.

Dexnaving for Solrock, SRing for Turtwig in Diamond.
