You?re 5x more likely to find a shiny Pokemon with sweet scent because there?s 5 Pokemon in a horde.
I got shiny Mareep and foonguss from that, and it was pretty quick too, I got Mareep in my second horde, and Foonguss after a few hours.

And the best part is that you don't have to worry about breaking a chain. Going to try this later.

The other day, I got 6 shinies in the span of 5-7 hours in the friend safari. They were; Pikachu, Electabuzz, Marowak, Pumpkaboo, Inkay and Dewgong.

Breeding finally paid off for me, tonight marks my 3rd shiny in Y, one Shiny Fennekin(named him MilesProwler). Probably not gonna evolve him.

 

[Scribbler397]

So glad my shiny fennekin hatched on my 12th egg in the hunt for him(though I'm sure I just got insanely lucky). Good luck with your hunt though, and don't give up! You gotta be getting close!(Your using a foreign with a non-foreign; yes?)

 

[Gingersnap]

yep, i got a jap ditto from my friend and a normal chespin

 

[Dr J]

Cool, then just keep right on breeding; that shiny is bound to hatch eventually(I've noticed its been easier to find them after I got a couple from chain fishing)

 

[skully]

anyone have any decent guides to catching shinies in xy? I've never tried to find them before and have no idea how to chain or anything ;u;

I've been breeding for a shiny *something* for a while. Got a Japanese Ditto through Wonder Trade and now it's permanently in Day Care. I tried Charmander, Amaura, Poochyena yesterday, bred a box of each and released them all onto Wonder Trade, not a single shiny. I've been playing since Yellow, and never encountered a shiny. This evening I've been breeding Larvitar from my Japanese Ditto and an American Tyranitar holding a Lucky Egg and in 25 eggs I got TWO shinies. I'm currently hatching the last 5. So, maybe a Lucky Egg in the mix ups the chances of getting a shiny?

Once I've infected this lot with Pokerus and sent them out into the world, I'm going to try Charmander again, this time with the parent holding a Lucky Egg. If I get lucky, I'll report back...

ETA - anyone gets a Wonder Traded Larvitar with a super-hero name tonight, it's probably from me. I'm keeping the shinies - Tank Girl and Xena!

[Nefarious]

I was taking a break to shiny hunting. Started IV Breeding perfect Pokemon for a match I'm going to have at my school's next Anime Club meeting. And then this little miracle shows up on my 6th egg.

Easiest chaining method, by far, is chain fishing. All you need is a fishing rod and an inkay or octilery with suction cups; then just keep catching and running until your shiny appears.

Another method is using the PokeRadar, though I'm still learning that one myself so I can't really give any advice on it.

And finally there's the Masuda Method. Which is done by breeding a pokemon with one from another country. Say USA + Japan. Results in double shiny chance.

Other than that... it all comes down to luck when they appear for you finally. Good luck, and happy shiny hunting to you.
