Pokémon Shiny Hunting Experience

[stitchmaker]

Finally got the shiny charm in Let's Go Pikachu. Got a 31 Caterpie catch combo and found a Shiny Kabuna.
I've only played Sun/Moon and Ultra ones so it was nice to get a new shiny.
I did find it boring walking back and forth checking for a shiny.

Prefer SOS and random encounters. I need to start Pokemon X/Y so I can try shiny hunting in those games. I've seen streams and Youtube hunts and it looks like fun.

meanwhile, me: "sweet, a lv1 nidorino for when some jokester decides to ask for a lv 1-10 nidorino on the gts"

That's actually what I'm waiting for XD I have yet to find a pokemon that wants a lv nidorino~wish i got like a garchomp or whatever they usually ask for on there.

I mean tbf, the real prize is a lv0 nidorino that dies from anything that so much as glances in its general direction

also on the subject of trades, other recentish shinies I got from gts that I can remember

kyogre (unsure if hacked or not, no red flags raised at least though. traded to some random trade request person for... a shiny kyogre that's also in the gray zone may or may not be hacked)
giratina (also unsure if hacked or not)
magikarp (likely legit)
ditto (super ****ing hacked. 00000 ID after all. though at least the hacker went all the way with it, and the name isn't a lie, even if rather bland (6V))

also, outside of the gts, I got my brother's extra event shiny dialga and palkia for my extra event shiny gen2 roamers. in addition to actually the best event mon ever (not a shiny though)

shiny suicune gts trade!

no idea if legit, as always. it's in a master ball, but I mean.... roamer

either way, I hardly care. I'm just happy to complete that set now too

Congrats on the suicune!
Took ages to find one on GTS that I actually had a pokemon willing to trade for~

 

[LambdaDelta]

I mean my problem far more often tends to be dealing with gamefreak's obnoxiously dumb decision to block eventmons from being traded

but yeah. they just wanted a suicune themselves, so it was by far one of the easiest shiny trades I've done

I got a L100 shiny 6 IV Yveltal from there.
I wanted one that was caught.. not hacked.

I will probably let it go.

 

[LambdaDelta]

pretty positive yveltal is specifically locked out of ever being shiny in xy (along with just about every other legend in those games), so good luck with that

ps, I'll take if you don't want lol

 

[Lars]

if you're letting it go, that shiny yveltal i mean.
will you trade it with me ?

 

[stitchmaker]

Completed a 31 chain in Let's Go and caught a shiny pidgey. At the time I thought it was a pokemon on the ground. I didn't see the pidgey flying. I do like that you can leave the area and continue the chain/collect berries.

 

[Lars]

found and caught a shiny zigzagoon.

had to do some chores, came back, and saw my ds ran out of power...

 

[LambdaDelta]

no joke, I actually have 2 legit shiny zigzagoon with the same stats and everything

only difference is one being in a great ball, and the other ultra


they're really probably the strangest thing for me

 

[Lars]

just caught a shiny oddish

[Alienfish]

^^^^ nice man

still trying for that kyurem, stubborn piece of ****.

got some shinies off wt on gen 6 though so that nice

 

[LambdaDelta]

wonder trade shinies are a myth, and I refuse to believe otherwise

 

[Jason Voorhees]

I've traded plenty of my legit ultra warp shinies on the GTS.

I got lots of starting trashmons

notable things though off the top if my head include
a gastly with solid stats that was one of the main things that made my wonderlocke run far easier than would be otherwise
a buneary from hatsune miku. forget stats but iirc is decentish. also includes some egg moves
a jolly perfect ivs in everything except hp (30) kanga
