Try doing Wonder Trade a few dozen times. Don't trade shit like Wurmple, obviously, but sometimes people trade their dupe shinies. I've got a few from there.

And these are the stories of my two random shiny. I've been playing Pokémon since I was 6 but got a random shiny only about a year ago, after fourteen years of absolutely nothing.
Of course I have a lot more shiny, but all of them have been hunted by me or my friends, MM, hordes, Pokéradar and even a couple RNGed from Sapphire. And is it was possible, there would have been a couple of shiny from Silver and Crystal, with the shiny Ditto glitch.
>>29931951 Btw OP, nice tastes using one of PC4SH's pic.
>>29932905
I'm just glad it has the watermark before some cockholster can say "u stole a picture!! it isn't yours!"
Nice on the 2 encounters, though. Ducklett's a little too pink for it to be a favorite, but Drifloon is fucking adorable.
>>29932619
>Lemonade
That's an adorable nickname, Anon.
Had a shiny encounter with a Sneasel in SS, but after that I skipped a gen, so I couldn't transfer it up into X.
>>29933000
them trips and double dubs, tho
>>29933000
Thanks, anon. I love 'im to bits.
