X/Y - Shiny Hunting!

[retrolinkx]

Ah man, I really want a shiny now.

Any tips on how to breed one?

[Mana]

I was hunting for a particular Ralts until I encountered a shiny red flowered Flabébé.

I'm quite happy with my capture but I still need that Ralts I was looking for.

>Has never encountered a shiny (bar one chainin sucess) in ten years
>Cries :'(

I now have the Pokeradar and will now be chain g to try and get a shiny. Like I said though, still haven't encountered one by random encounter ever, so how's that for bad luck.

Just hatched this beauty


She has perfect IVs in Att/Def./SpD. too (Well also Speed but that's bad for a Honedge)

[Tri]

See, I told you you could get one.

[Wolf]

trying the masuda method to get a shiny charmander!! so far i've hatched 6 charmanders and nothing :( with my luck i'll probably have to hatch 10000+ eggs lmao

[ShadriaFan]

it's still more than 10, maybe in the 100s, but not 1000s..

[Canpaw]

Oy, it's hard to believe that tipping increases shiny chance.

But might try it out anyways.

[Ommy]

Caught a shiny Geodude today.

7th shiny so far in X

[Crash32]

i'm assuming that 'tap the bottom screen ___ of times and you'll hatch a shiny' method has been long removed since diamond/pearl?

[Poseidon]

tried out that fishing trick and nabbed a shiny relicanth.

relicanth is so ugly but it's a shiny so it's okay!

Shiny Pokémon are easily findable with the PokéRadar

My gosh, this is so false. My chains are always interrupted even when I do them right (and I actually do: furthest away Pokemon, same kind of shaking, at least four spaces away, ECT.) Homestly, it annoys me so much. In ten years of pretty regular playing I've had a grand total of 0 random shiny encounters, with only one shiny found in goodness knows how many chaining attempts (and even then one with a really lame colour chain). I am so jealous I all of you who can just find shiny's out of the blue all the time and actually get Masauda and chaining methods to work. Good for you: I'm glad the and gives you some luck and happiness at least.

...All I wanted was a shiny Inkay :'(...

>Spending hours in FS looking for shiny Espurr
>**** this I'm tired
>Try a new FS
>Ooo, this one has Braixen and slugma, let's try that! (And Magmar but who cares)
>Goes in, 2nd pokemon met is shiny
>Magmar
>Naive
>Has perfect IVs in Attack and speed
>Might be use-Nah, it's trash

[SkyGinge]

Are shinies easier to find in the FS, or are you just annoyingly lucky. :(

[Ommy]

Many people say it's increased in the FS

[SkyGinge]

I've heard of a fair few shinies found in their, I suppose that would ell to explain why you can't chain in there. Still with my luck I doubt I'll eer find one there <\3

[Crash32]

when i get to that water part of the game i'll definitely try the shiny fishing thing
but i don't have the patience for that, so is it definitely between 1-100 pokemon or was that an estimate?

You're not the only one bro. Only shiny I've ever run into was a shiny Koffing. Everything else was hacked unfortunately so I feel your pain.

[SkyGinge]

@Toram: Dood, I'm sorry. What I find really annoying is that some YouTubers were like "This is outrageous, I'm less than half of the way through the game and I'm yet to find a random-encounter shiny!" And were being so snobbish about it. Aparently the shiny finding ratio has gone down for gen 6 anyway meaning it should be easier to find shinies!

@Crash: Consecutive fishing is actually really easy if you have a suction cupper, a billion times easier than chaining. I would recommend trying it sometime!

[Toram159]

I haven't really come across any videos on youtube of people griping about not finding Shinies honestly XD But I know the first shiny I want is a Honedge.

[Crash32]

I'm not having much luck with the chain fishing :(
I've spent like 30 minutes trying so far

[Ommy]

Roaming the Safari for an hour paid off

[Crash32]

congrats :o

[SkyGinge]

Hey, nice job, your favourite poke as a shiny! :D

Whose friend safari was that in? :)

[Rentu]

CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME

How are so many people getting shinies in the friend safari? I've been up for the past 12 HOURS TRYING TO GET A FREAKING SHINY SHUPPET, and nothing. (I'm sleep deprived to hell) Is there a certain method to get a shiny in the friend safari?
