Started breeding combees just to get a female, the 6th egg was the first female I got and it was shiny.

Just got done with my hunt for shiny Nidoran. I got the female I hoped for, then as I finished up the box of remaining eggs I hatched a shiny male so that was nice, even if the male didnt have the HA.
More memorable than that was when I was hatching a shiny Diglett for a friend and got 2 in the first 30 eggs

Still trying to get my HA Lileep. I just hope it'll have the right ability and NOT be missing an HP or Sp. Def IV.

I'm currently doing Friend Safari shiny hunts, randomized. I don't have any specific targets in mind, just catching them when they pop up either to keep or to save for trades after Sun and Moon come out. I do have plans to breed a shiny starter sometime after I finish White 2 or when I get tired of FS shiny hunts.

Most memorable shiny story: The shiny female Goomy I got from breeding. I was breeding for a regular one Sap Sipper and ended up with a shiny with the Hydration ability. What makes this the most memorable for me was the fact that I wasn't using any foreign Pokemon(but I do have the Shiny Charm). After that happened, I went bought an Ability Capsule.

Does Shedinja come in a Poke Ball always or does it vary?

You need to have a regular pokeball in your bag when Nincada reaches lvl 20 and evolves. I assume the only legit ball it can be in is a pokeball.

I usually never worry about upping the encounter rate. But I do like using Cute Charm to alter gender odds.

If you manage to find one in gen 3 it copies the ball but from gen 4 on its a regular ball and only if you have one in your bag

When you evolve it, will shedinja be shiny too?

So do you fellas genuinely enjoy soft resetting or bicycle simulating until you get an imperfect shiny, or are you incapable of injecting your dream pokemon?

Not in a negative way, just curious. It seems like you could be done in a day if you asked an injector.

I horde hunted for all of yesterday and got both shiny Aron named Betty and shiny Swablu named Altair. This is actually the first time I've shiny hunted, and I'm proud of my achievements. Is horde hunting the most efficient way, or MMing? I don't know jack shit about breeding, so hordes seemed like the simplest method. Will try chaining for Trapinch though, really want that insect dragon.

Got this yesterday after about 670 eggs, all the stats ended up just like I wanted

I've spent most of the time since then genetically engineering a Magnemite with hidden power fire so I can subject myself to the masochism that is trying to hatch a shiny that has it (I just managed to get a parent that has 31/10/31/28/31/28 a little bit ago which is good enough for me), I'm expecting more than a few shinies with the wrong hidden power in my future

Here's to an eternity of suffering

not him but I used the pokemon bank trial for most of them and filled in the gaps using the GTS (which was probably a little easier back when the game was relatively fresh, I'm pretty sure it's barren of any logical trades nowadays), then for any missing legendaries I did some tradebacks with some acquaintances

Been trying to chain fish for a Feebas. I'm at a chain of 66, and I was wondering if anyone knows if saving the game will break the chain.

Hope you simultaneously did a living dex as well otherwise you may be in for a bit of grinding in SM.

>>26868275
Start from Kanto, check your dex and all your other games and work your way from there filling in all necessary gaps besides event legends. You might have to do a lot of trading with yourself between games.

>>26869192
I'm not sure how much you already know or how far you are into your breeding but the basics are that Hidden Power Fire is odd IVs in HP/Def/SpDef and even IVs in Atk/SpA/Speed, so ideally you'd want 31/30/31/30/31/30

Basically this means the only IVs you want to be perfect are HP, Defense, and Special Defense, while the others need to be even numbers (i.e. not 31): ideally you'd want 30, but it can be 28, 26, etc. if you don't care about perfection, and attack doesn't really matter in this case so it can be low (but still even!)

What I did, starting at the very beginning, was breed a Magnemite with perfect HP/Def/SpDef, used that one to breed more perfect HP/Def/SpDef ones, then checked the exact values of the other unknown IVs until I found some that had good, even values

So my Magnemite parents went down the line like this, trying to get ODD/EVEN/ODD/EVEN/ODD/EVEN:
>31/??/31/??/31/??
>31/25/31/28/31/29
>31/10/31/28/31/29
>31/10/31/28/31/28
With the last one having HP fire

Hopefully that helps, though whether is does or doesn't I wish you good luck

I'm nearly done right now. I'm just missing a handful of legends. It only took me about a month and a half total even but I took a few month break. I just would do 10 new Pokemon a day minimum. I would just do it while I was watching tv or on the computer

>love psychic pokemon
>hate most of the shiny variations

I can never find something I actually feel like shinyhunting. I might end up soft resetting for a shiny raikou. I only have ever encountered 2 shiny pokemon. I found a shiny machop in my emulated heartgold. Unfortunately it's stuck on my computer with no way out. And I bred a shiny onix in pokemon white and transferred it to oras. As far as shinys go steelix is probably the only one I was really excited for, I'm breeding for a shiny weedle now but I don't know if I even want to keep bothering with it.

For one, because I already did 2 years ago.
For two, because I wanna be a special snowflake that can say I legally own the shiny Kanto legendaries in gen2.
For three, I can transfer them but not in the conventional way.

I give myself some liberties and gen them on my Emerald save, where I pick a random shiny frame with random stats with RNG Reporter and treat is as a hatched egg. Did this with this Lapras, Natu, Grimer and a couple others.
I use then a tool on my flashcard to put the save on the real cartridge and transfer it all the way from there.

Well, okay then. I suppose I just don't get it, but either way, good luck hunting!

And here's the result.
I'll step up and admit it's not the most legitimate thing to do, but it's not like I'll use them in competitive or anything since I suck major ass at it. I just like the thrill of looking for rare things, which is part of the reason I'm not the biggest fan of Masuda-ing, the shiny charm (which I do have, but for completion's sake, not because I particularly enjoy it) or gen6 odds in general.

Hell, that Mew there is the Faraway event one which I used cheats to get the island, and after like an hour worth of runaways I got a lucky shiny frame, and that went just fine through Bank even if it's not japanese.

I've gotten some weird looks already for purposely gimping my odds but in my opinion that's what makes it exciting.
Funny story, that Altaria there I found on Sky Pillar with good old RE's, no RNG manipulation whatsoever or any of that shit. No one ever believes me, but I nearly plastered my trousers the day I found the rarest shiny Pokémon in that area by complete chance.
>>
>>26872930
Well if you ever do want to make your odds as frustratingly ridiculous as the older gens, you could always be like the crazy people looking for shiny female combees or starters. I know some who have been at it for a year.
>>
Please RNGesus let me get this fucking shellder soon
>>
>>26873023
I plan to SR for Popplio on november. Odds are already lowered by default but, you know, it's not like I'm gonna get a Popplio in any older game.

It's not super impressive but I also have 3 full odds starters, that being Charmander in LG, Piplup in Pearl and pic in Crystal. I never really bothered with Unova or Hoenn starters, not in the old games and not on the new ones for the latter case.

Right now I'm nearing 3 months of just Articuno and a little of Lugia in that same Crystal save. I reckon I have enough in my hands to take me a good couple months more at least.

My conditions for shiny legend satisfaction are either procced synchronize (correct nature) or decent IVs. My autism will go off if I know it has suboptimal IVs, so I don't check if I don't have to. You can plug these stats into a calculator if you want to know.
