HM. i havent purposely tried MMing for a shiny yet. the only one i got from that was a bagon and it was like, 3 days after i got a japanese ditto.
first shiny i got, however, was a pichu i hatched 2/3 days after i started Y at the beginning of the summer.
I WASNT EVEN TRYING. i wanted pichu for the dex entry so i dumped in a male and female pikachu and got ~3 eggs. one was a shiny but i didnt know after like a day. i noticed it had a lil red star (Y was my first serious pokemon game.......... hahahhh a ah a ha) but i didnt notice ANYTHING special about it.
my brother was upset because it was timid and a female, timid being a good nature i guess.
all other shinies i got (other than bagon) were from wondertrade or toothless12. i'm hoping for a shiny eevee tho so i can have the most ADORABLE sylveon.

Probably about 30 minutes-1hr with the consecutive fishing method.
I typically don't go out of my way to find a shiny.

The longest time? Using Masuda Method in Y for shiny Espurrs. I hatched over 2000 eggs and got so frustrated that I just decided to get an Espurr Friend Safari. Got two male shiny Espurrs fairly quickly.
I have more luck finding shinies in the wild than I do with breeding. Yesterday I used the Frost Cavern for an hour or two to train some Pokemon, went in today and almost immediately ran into a Vanillite horde with a shiny in it. I wish they would hatch this often.

My longest time was 8 days for a shiny Froakie for an order on GFAQS ages ago. Ugh that stupid little frog!!!! I think it was probably around the 2,600 egg mark. Luckily it came out with protean or I would've had a heart attack and died.
The shortest time: I hatched 3 shiny croagunk within 90 minutes of each other and that was a couple of Sundays ago! Two of them were about 15 eggs apart. Unfortunately none of them had the IVs I wanted, lol, but a day later I got another with the right IVs.
Do you have the shiny charm? There's debate about whether it helps to HATCH shinies, but personally I've noticed since I got my shiny charm, I hatch shinies much quicker. Sending you lots of shiny dust, I hope you get your sparkly Vulpix soon! ^_^

Yup, this is what I (and many others) think too, but because the text description of the shiny charm changed in X and Y to: "A shiny charm said to increase the chance of finding a Shiny Pok?mon in the wild." some people say that it now only helps find shinies in the wild.

My shiny Vulpix hatched! like, just now as I was typing this message. She's timid with drought and have perfect IVs in HP, Attack, Defense, Sp.atk and Sp,def. I'm a little upset about no speed but whatever!

CONGRATS!!!! Well done, what a brilliant achievement, I bet she's gorgeous. Did you name her? and you could use the Battle Institute method to find out what her speed is, it might still be decent

Thanks, I nicknamed for Amaterasu after the Shinto goddess of sun. I'll check her speed right now. thanks for suggesting that, i almost forgot you could do the at the Battle Institute.

Such a tease!
Congrats on hatching your shiny! I am currently trying to hatch a shiny Honedge, unfortunately I lost count of the eggs haha. I feel like it should come soon though.
The longest time it took for me to get a shiny was when I was trying to get a Budew. I have tried in a few games to get this Pokemon. I found a way to pass on a bunch of evil egg moves, but even with shiny charm I couldn't get one. XY is the only game I have hatched a shiny in. I finally got the Budew I wanted using the Masuda method and I made an awesome Roserade named TuxedoMask.

What pokemon was it?
I've gotten a few shinies randomly through breeding. Bulbasaur, Phione, Petilil and Ralts are the ones I can remember. Then some more through random encounters. Noctowl, Ursaring, Spinda, Haunter, Combee were some of them. I wonder traded some, GTSed Haunter for a legendary which I used to chain trade for other legendaries for the Pok?dex. And the rest of the shinies are still sitting on a box waiting for me to give them away somehow (probably like Haunter if I ever need to fill the Pok?dex again, that's the only reason why I'm saving them).
I think it took me far longer (literally days) to hatch a non-shiny male Adamant 5IV Azurill with Huge Power than it took for me to hatch the male Jolly 5IV shiny Magikarp with its hidden ability that I was hoping for. Other than that, I have tried to hatch a shiny Gastly but no success and I'm not very patient for things like that, so I stopped quickly. I'll probably try again some other time, though.
