Guys, I just hatched this on box 3 and I'm super excited. Not only was it my shortest MM, but the ball is perfect and the IVs are almost perfect. I just want to talk about shinies. How's your hunt going?
12 boxes, still no vulpix.
>Defence - Fantastic
Release it
>>30807367
I got a shiny Bounsweet today as well, has 5 IVs and queenly majesty, I already evolved it plus I gave it Synthesis. Unfortunately it's in a friend ball, I didn't plan this fortunate incident
It's going pretty good, I guess.
1500 Popplios, no shiny. I have the shiny charm, and have had it this entire hunt.and it isn't even for me
>>30808458
watch you get the one with the worse ivs and ability
Congrats op.
I decided to take a break from hatching eggs and started chaining Eevee.
The odds are around 1/600 right? I have the shiny charm, so would it be 1/300?
>>30808587
Nevermind it's 1/612 with shiny charm.
I regret starting this. Eggs are nicer unless you're hunting for items too.
>>30807367
I didn't even notice this was shiny when I hatched it. I flipped shit once i noticed :P
>>30807367
Just got this little guy, looks cool as fuck, not sure whether to evolve. Spent all day chaining
>>30807367
>missing one point of defense
it's trash and you should feel bad
>>30808638
Last night I was chaining oricorio while watching TV. About 120 encounters in, I accidentally fainted my caller.
Needless to say, it's a lot easier to hatch eggs while distracted.
>0 speed iv
>sassy
>female
RELEASED
>>30809758
That luck is somehow so good and so bad at the same time. At least you can bottle cap it.
I got this by masuda
>>30807367
Usada in spanish means used
>>30810030
>beast ball
gross
>>30808638 here
I'm never leaving eggs. This is a joke.
In 2006 I played Emerald on an emulator and caught a shiny Golbat.
It was the first, last, and only time I ever captured a shiny.
The second and last shiny I ever saw was a Skarmory in OR. It killed itself before I could capture it.
So, hunt is going great I guess.
So whats the advantage as the disadvantage of sos chaining and egg hatching?
Found this while chaining for speed EV training, nothing spectacular about but cool nonetheless
>not even trying for shinies, just breeding stuff to use in battle tree/online
>breeding mareanies yesterday
>get a shiny
>merciless
>breeding Quiet Trick Room porygons today
>get a shiny
>31 speed
I mean, I don't care that much about shinies, but COME THE FUCK ON.
Trying to get one with zero speed is quite irritating
>tfw went through at least four hundred eggs to get a shiny Rockruff and then get a second one immediately after
Hatched a Shiny Gible yesterday with Jolly and Max IVs in everything but Special Attack
I was breeding a Gible for my friend because he wanted one, so I ended up giving him the 6 IV I already had.
Been chaining these dang Roggenrola on and off for a couple days now. I did get a snorunt and bagon recently, but they both only had 3 perfect IVs
>>30810201
>>30810273
Why do you guys want low speed? Honest question.
I thought the point of IV training was to have the best?
>>30810640
Trick Room. Lower speed means you're "faster."
I hatched one shiny eevee today via masuda method. It was my 40/50th egg.
>>30810273
Probably should be going quiet
Just so hydro pump can hit extra hard
>>30810682
I basically said when I started this project whatever nature I get as long as it's - speed I keep I'll probably try to get one of those later
>>30810656
oh, ok
>>30807367
Currently at 1300 eggs for rowlet, im gonna give up at 1600 so im over odds 3 times
I just got her like 10 minutes ago. I was EV training my cutiefly and it came up on the 15th-ish SOS
>>30808791
holy shit, do you guys not also breed for nature what the fuck is wrong with you
16 boxes of Staryu, just fucking kill me now
>>30811851
It baffles me too with how often it seems to happen. If it were the first few eggs, it'd be understandable, but I see people saying the hatched 200+ eggs before they got it and it's something like an adamant Vulpix.
>>30811875Hatched one on the first egg in X. Four perfect IVs from a 4 IV Staryu and a 2 IV Ditto.
>>30811934
YAMEROIts because I don't have that fucking shiny charm isn't it, goddammit
>>30812010
i have it and i found the first shiny pokemon from eggs after 300 or more
>perfect 6
>Adamant
>Sturdy..
>>30812093
there is a place in hell for people like you <3
>>30808806
>hp decent
Haha rip lil guy
>>30812137
but Anon I wanted rock head
>Gens 6 and 7 are supposed to be the easiest shinies to get
>Have a box and a half full of shinies from gens 3 and 4
>Never got a single one in my hundreds of hours in gens 5/6/7
Really revs up the neutrons.
>>30812232
>Meanwhile i got a shiny withing first couple hours of SM
To be fair though, didnt see one at all naturally in xy or oras
i got a shiny mudsdale while breeding for the nature (before even getting my shiny charm)
shit IVs and the nature was the opposite of what i was trying to get
now i'm MM+charm and have bred probably over 500 gastlys with nothing to show for it except half an hour worth of work releasing about 20 boxes of gastlys one by one
>>30813268
nello is that you?
>>30813416
i was expecting to get called out by someone else i know who browses vp, but you arent him and im not nello
>>30813450
i have a friend that did the same thing xD
>>30810030
I named it after Usada Hikaru, since they're both dominant and pink haired
>>30813530
Hikaru would probably be the better nickname then wouldn't it.
>>30807367
I'm hatching shinies for my friends right now, I promised all of them a shiny of their choice for christmas. (Litten, Vulpix, Sandygast, Salandit, and Mimikyu) I got the litten within 8 eggs, which was excellent. also, a week or two ago I was MMing for a shiny trapinch, and got this beauty. her name is Tiamat, here's her baby picture
>>30814103
Still working on Vulpix, it's really tedious.she's not going to get a snow warning one, but it's cool since the girl I'm breeding it for doesn't really want it for competitive play.
>>30814176
>but it's cool since the girl I'm breeding it for doesn't really want it for competitive play.
I really don't know why you had to tell us she was a girl.
I can picture you trying to get in her pants by hatching her a shiny. Yeesh.
>>30807367
Caught this one during a shiny race against a friend yesterday
I won :^)
>>30814259
the fuck dude, I'm doing this for my friends as a christmas gift, not to fuck anyone.
>>30810110
Not him but imo it's the only thing that fits alolachu, the little yellow bits match the ears and the cyber blue matches the eyes. Not a perfect fit but I don't think anything else fits it better.
Actually trading this guy if anyone wants to trade 5iv shinies. Got two out the 18 eggs in pokemon pelagio this morning
>tfw you've established a population of ralts that consistently gives all or 5 perfect IVs
>9th box and still no shiny
I just want a goth wife even if she's male
>>30814259
like, I know it's dumb to be bothered it, but it's kind of upsetting having it assumed I'm trying to get with someone by giving them pokemon. the reason I said she was a girl is because she's the only girl in the friend group that plays Sun/Moon, and I was just kind of typing that out without thinking about it.
>>30814368
I'm not interested, but it's cool how you got 2 out of a single batch. is there any chance that the hot spring increases shiny odds?
>>30814333
i like it in a heal ball.
>>30814466
I believe in you, anon
are you breeding for moves/nature/ability, as well?
>Shiny Solrock after 96 eggs
>Shiny Lunatone after 327 eggs
Feels good man
>>30814368
Is there anything specific you're looking for? I'm interested.
>>30807367
I'm starting my hunt using Masuda Method and Shiny charm, going for a Shiny Cranidos
Why?
I specifically want to fuck with people by putting a choice scarf on a rampardos with max attack, max speed, and headsmash.
I have never ever found a shiny in the wild, or in eggs before, in all my time as a pokemon fan.

>>30814502
modest with trace and hyper voice
after 1,200 Rowlets to get a shiny i wasnt expecting to get this one so quickly
about 130 eggs in.
>>30815091
Is minior good competitively? I'm talking about Battle Tree/online, not VGC
What pokemon should I try to shiny breed for?
something that can be viable in competitive, preferably.
I'm curious about how the SOS method works for shinies. Does the increase in shiny percentage continue to go up, or is there a cap? For anyone who has chained for shinies, what chain link did they show up on?
>>30808511
>>30808511
If it's not even for you, why not just inject it?
>>30814473

>no destiny knot yet to try to breed 5/6 IV shinies

Currently tormenting myself with Minior breeding, but not super far in yet. At roughly ~230
>>30814582
>>30814473
I don't think there's higher odds but not really looking for anything specific. Just another shiny with comparable ivs
Also it had swarm which isn't the end of the world with ability capsule and mega scizor
Just post offers if you're interested
on a scale of 1-10 how fucking lucky am I to get this without the shiny charm?
>>30815634

Depends, what are the IVs and nature?
>>30815091
Lucky you. I'm at 4 boxes at the moment and I'm trying to go for the fabled 6IV Shiny.
All because I was too lazy to hunt for a Violet or Indigo Minior
>>30807367
I have a shiny related question. Do some Pokémon have a lower chance of calling for help SOS style? I keep having dewpider call one ally then no more until they struggle to death, what's the deal? I'm using adrenaline orbs and just want a shiny spider.

>>30818889
You're lowering their health, yeah?
Have you also tried just switching to the first Dewpider that comes in through SOS?
I was trying to get a Politoed because I used my King's Rock for Slowking.
>Under 30 SOS
>Shiny Poliwag decides to show the fuck up
>mfw
>>30807367
So I want to start trying to get a Shiny Charm but it just seems so tedious. But it's also the easiest time to grab it with only 300 Pokemon to catch
>>30807367
IVE HATCHED 900 FUCKING WIMPODS AND NO SHINY REE IM MM'ING AND EVERYTHING GIB SHINY WIMPOD
>>30818889
You aren't putting a status on them, are you?
I hatched an adamant sandyghast yesterday.
Is it salvagable or do I just pretend it never happened?
>>30819397
keep going man, i hatched mine around 800ish.
you can do it
>>30819397
>>30819682
im only at around 200 eggs, and im already hating this ride ;-;
>>30819645
I have a shinygast too. To me, it's worth it just for the great color. Try giving it a nice EV spread.
>>30819773
>>30819397
>mfw got one off gts giveaway here couple days ago
Cant name it after a greek god like the rest of my pals but oh well
Just hatched this.
>tfw too lazy to read the Bulbapedia articles on IVs/EVs so I know what any of this shit is about
I just want a shiny klefki
>>30819818
Congrats anon
>>30814656
Hyper train it you dolt
>>30819830
It's okay. There are some shinies I like for their color and don't care about the stats. For instance, I always had my female shiny Wooper on my team in XY named after my pet axolotl
>>30819645
Make it physical with EQ.
Toxic, Shore, EQ, Protect
Or make it gimmicky as fuck
EQ, Infestation, Shore, Amnesia
I'm new to shinys, can someone explain to me why people breed looking for shinys and stats instead of just looking for them in the wild? Does breeding increase the chances of good stats? Is it just important that they're level 1?
>>30819784
At least you got a good nature on it.
I am thinking to use it as a mixed attacker with weakness policy and defensive ev investments
>>30819908
I like this also. Maybe run weakness policy with Def and HP evs
My first shiny ever and have been playing since gold/silver.
Only my 3rd egg hatched!
>>30815336
No clue, i mostly just do battles with friends and stuff. It seems pretty decent though
>>30818041
Im just going to use a gold bottlecap on mine
>>30811733
Same exact shit happened to me like a week ago
Fucking Oricorio
>>30819971
>quick ball
Might as well release it.
On a more serious note congrats.
>>30819924
You can influence their IVs/natures/egg moves with breeding
>>30819924
breeding with destiny knots ensure the parents stats gets passed onto the child
so you get high IV mons and pass the IVs on
breeding with everstone ensures you get the mothers nature so you don't get shit nature
if you chain for shiny, you only have 50% chance off syncing nature with synchronise
18 boxes of minior. I want to stop but sunk cost fallacy.
>Breeding for 5 IV Eevee with Hidden Ability
>Of course a shiny appears
>mfw 5IV Shiny Pixilate Sylveon now Hyper beaming its way through the Battle Tree
Happy man
>>30820009
also, you can use the breedjects as currency on the GTS
i've got plenty of japanese mons this way
>>30807367
Pfft, box 3? This took only24eggs.
But my Bounsweet took488eggs.
Then a shiny Spinarak popped out as I has SOS EV training.
Currently MMing for a Sandygast, 3 boxes in.
>>30820032
diaper beam lol
>>30820009
so how do you get the original pokemon with good stats to start your breeding with? do you just breed without destiny knot and then give it to the mother once you find a mother with good stats?
>>30820095
try looking around for giveaways or breedjects
normally those have a few perfect IVs
>>30820031
Good luck with that that probably the best shiny they've had in a while
Didn't even notice this shit when it hatched. Was about to release it to save space when I saw the star.
Neat I guess, since it has max IVs in the stats that matter.
>>30820009
Don't forget that the odds are better than chaining if you use the MM after shiny charm is received.
>>30810640
Trick Room teams means you want as low speed as possible on your mons. Also the ability analytic but ive never seen anything outside beheeyem really use it.
>>30819971
>only been playing since gold/silver
Get out.
>>30820394
Yeah this board is only for people the age of having xy be their first possible game
>>30819974
I mean, if I don't get the perfect IVs on my shiny, I'll be doing that too. Just need a regular cap for mine though
Quick question
How to you get shinies from eggs this time around? I'm aware of the SOS hunting method
>>30819818
Reeeeee. I have four boxes of perfect females and one shiny male. This is feeling very long indeed.
how do all of you have your shiny charm? what do you use as GTS bait?
Huh, this is what happens once you evolve a shiny
How does steps taken work with riding the Tauros and other pager pokemon? does it make eggs hatch any faster?
If anyone wants a few japanese 6IV destiny knot dittos, put something (not route 1 shitmon) on the GTS with your IGN and ill send you one

Thanks desu!
(Was I suppose to ask for 91 or higher?)
I've been playing Pokemon X since I don't have Sun/Moon yet, but I've been trying to get a team of my favorite Pokemon as shinies through the Masuda method. I have Gengar, Umbreon, Politoed, and Togekiss, and I only need Scyther and Cyndaquil. Scyther is being a little bitch to get right now though, which is upsetting since I got togepi in fucking 6 eggs. I was gonna do Metagross but they did a shiny giveaway of him so I didn't. After I worked for my genera they gave one of him away too. At least the OT reads as me in the summary, I guess...
>>30812212

>>30825466
>tfw my shiny Eevee took over 20k
Also once i hatched the shiny, it didn't get the HA.
>>30825629
At the very least the Bunnelby had its HA, but it didn't get the Atk passed down so it's only getting used when Hyper Trained.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
>>30825657
I need to try it again, maybe i'll have better luck in SM.
The description of Shiny Charm says it only increases odds in the wild. Does it actually affect breeding as well?

>>30815091
fuck you. im like 30 boxes in no shiny minior
>>30807367
Congrats Op, I'm currently sos-chaining for Bounsweet. After that I'll probably breed for a Dewpider since I want it to know aurora beam. My last shiny was a Fomantis, now a Lurantis
Anyone gotten Dewpider? What do you think of it's shiny?
I probably hatched around 800 minior a few days ago so I decided to switch things up a bit and go for turtonator. Now I'm about 200 eggs in, but no shiny yet. I guess I got too lucky with my pentaperfect, shield dust, shiny cutiefly last week.
alright 30 boxes of fucking staryu plus 2 boxes of them being near perfect
time to flood the fucking wonder trade, holy shit this is pissing me off
>>30826468

Got this a while ago, glad I managed to hit the the female and HA on the first one. Lost track of how many eggs I went through and it doesn't seem to come out during a battle.I've got a few 6-5 IV leftovers. Egg moves, Heal ball, Bold, HA.GTS an Abra I you want one. No need to respond with any info this is a casual thing, don't want to shit up the thread. I'll hit up all the Mareanie requests and stop when I'm out.

Posting this here because it might be helpful for you breeding your shines. A lot faster because you use Magikarp. I tried it and it works. Reset the game a total of 4 times and got the shiny every time.

I wouldn't even know shinies were a thing if it wasn't for crystal's battle tower and the internet.
I've run some numbers, and if statistics worked on a chained basis, I'd have a 99.999(...)9998% chance of every consequent pokemon I see being a shiny.
I just can't explain it.

Don't give up. My first three shinies (Mimikyu, Sandygast, and Mareanie) all took from 800-1500 eggs with charm and MM. OP pic was my fastest shiny.

To be honest, I'm past common sense here.
This isn't my first rodeo, I've tried for shinies in BW2 too, and hatched hundreds of eggs there too. Not even counting past games.
I've been hunting for a shiny, ANY shiny, for what must now be thousands of eggs.
I'm at a loss about what's going.

Same thing happened to my friend who was hatching popplio eggs to use for trades. He's showing me the popplios and I notice one has a darker shade, and I was like... dude that's shiny. He didn't even notice lol.

Too bad the green on Shiny Vikavolt completely ruins it.

hatch at least 20 eggs, then talk to the guy in the battle tree near the computer and he will add it to your pc. After that click the button that says judge in the pc box to switch to IV checker mode

If it makes you feel any better, I'm just starting on my 16th box and this is my first time going full hunt with charm and masuda.
What's worse is I can't even listen to music properly while doing it because my headphones broke and my new ones haven't arrived yet.
I feel your pain.
