Discussion The Shiny Hunting Thread

[StarlightSearcher]

In Ultra Moon, I found two random-encounter shinies (post obtaining the Shiny Charm) within like 48 hours of each other about a month ago.

An Inkay (11/22) in Poni Wilds. It was a Female I nicknamed "Saffron". Evolved it into a Malamar.
And a Scraggy (11/24) in Route 17 outside of Po Town. Another Female, I nicknamed it "Rubbermaid". Evolved it into a Scrafty.

While trying to train up Pokemon to complete my PokeDex, I've gotten a Shiny Heliolisk, Audino, Yanmega, Abomasnow, Nuzleaf, Stunfisk and Hippowdon through Ultra Wormholes! After getting the Shiny Charm, I've also managed to chain for a Shiny Seel, and now I'm considering what to SR for (currently considering Poipole or Stakataka)!

After countless of Ultra Wormhole Shinies (including 5 Lombre and no Quagsire), I finally decided on soft resetting for an Ultra Beast! 668 SR's later, and I got myself my first Shiny Ultra Beast: Pheroche, the shiny Pheromosa, and it is stunning!

I remember back in my first playthrough of Pokemon X; I ran into a shiny Graveler in Victory Road. I tossed a Quick Ball at it, it popped out at the last second and then it exploded on me.

Needless to say; I was pretty upset.

My first Shiny of the year: a Shiny male...!

Exeggcute.

Why must Burmy evade me so? T_T

Just contradicted my signature yesterday with a shiny Drapion from the Ultra Wormhole! Definitely an awesome addition alongside 4 legendaries I bagged through that method as well.

Well, I went into a Yellow Cave Wormhole (Tried to find Heatran) I had previously caught all other Legendary Pokemon in that wormhole so only Heatran was left.

So I thought, Eh, i'll do 300 SR's for a Shiny.

7 SR's in, I encountered a Shiny Heatran, Caught it, Adamant nature even when synchronizing for a Jolly nature.
Had a good Move set and set of EV's, (haven't unlocked IV check yet.)

That was my first Legendary Shiny since Pokemon Black, or Diamond.

Yesterday I got two shinies; Mawile and Zorua.

Spoiler: At 90 chain

Spoiler: At 77 chain

The Mawile was on my second attempt. First attempt ended at 126 due to me accidentally clicking Fight when I had no PP left with only one Mawile on the screen.

And I didn't synchronize the Zorua. I just got lucky, lol.

Shiny Charm or no?

 

[blahblahbal]

Shiny Charm or no?

Yeah I have the shiny charm. I always make it a point to get it as fast as possible. At least in Gen 7.
