I have a decent amount of Shinies myself.. Well, I guess it's not that many, but still. Let's see...

Shiny Nidoqueen in HeartGold (My first caught Shiny! <3)
In SoulSilver I think I have a Shiny Luxio and a Shiny Staraptor, both from Platinum. (And in Platinum, I have a few more Shiny Shinx and a couple of Shiny Ralts)
In Black I currently have my beloved Shiny Braviary (My first hatched Shiny ever <333), my gorgeous Shiny Absol from the GTS, a super pretty Shiny Ninetales (Who a friend gave to me), a Shiny Tropius and Red Stripe Basculin (Both of which were random encounter.)


X is the game I have the most Shinies in. Listing them via order they're in in my boxes (Since I'm using my game as a reference, ha..)

Shiny Glaceon (From a friend)
Shiny Swablu (From another friend)
Shiny Charizard (My first hatched Shiny in X! He's one of my favourites in this game <3)
Shiny Dragonair (My first hunted Shiny in X. I hunted for her for a whiiiile in a Friend Safari..)
Shiny Dragonite (Random encounter in a Friend Safari. Kinda happy to get her, since I didn't want to evolve my first Shiny Dragonair.)
Shiny Spritzee (Random encounter in a Friend Safari)
Shiny Garchomp (Random encounter in Friend Safari)
Shiny Gengar (This handsome boy is from Black, actually. He randomly hatched while I had been trying to get a normal old Gastly XD)
Shiny Vanillite (Random horde encounter while EV-training)
Shiny Chandelure (From a friend on Tumblr)
Shiny Gardevoir (THIS gorgeous boy (Yes, Shiny MALE Gardevoir! <3) is one I hunted for in Platinum for about a week. I love him so much)
Shiny Venomoth (From a friend, notably from the friend who gave me the Shiny Ninetales)
Shiny Roselia (From that friend as well)
Shiny Corsola (Again, from that same friend. (She gives me a lot of Shinies XD))
Shiny Espeon (...This guy was from that friend too!)
Shiny Golem (From a different friend this time)
Shiny Entei, Raikou and Suicune (The event ones, of course)
Shiny Dugtrio (Aaand I think this thing was my first Shiny in X? Random Friend Safari encounter)

AAaand that's not even counting the few hacked Shinies (Notably a Ho-Oh and a Shedinja) that I have in SoulSilver. XD

I have quite a few... I found a shiny Vulpix back in SoulSilver, my first ever shiny, I also got another shiny Vulpix again in X as well as quite a few others... In X alone I've found 9 shinies, either from hunting the friend safari or from hatching eggs. Most of them went to new homes. x) I also have a number of shinies from lovelylovely Falconcrest, like my beloved shiny Sylveon. <3

Also, I kinda feared HA were Friend Safari... I feel so damn stupid for wasting like 4 hours trying to get one now.

If you do, be aware it's an expensive hobby. x) Especially these days when there's a set being released every 3-4 months, there's a new one out next month! (Right before my birthday yay!)

I use to play back in the day when the TCG came out. Not to mention I'm an on and off Magic player, so I'm not new to card collecting lol. My dad use to fill my stocking with packs of whatever game I was playing at the time for Christmas. Well... still does if I'm playing one.

I've found one wild shiny, a Mr. Mime and got shiny Mewtwo from Wonder Trade. That's it. And i wonder if the Mewtwo is legit. I really want shinies of Umbreon, Sylveon, Glaceon, Ninetails, and I can't remember off hand what else.

Do you think I could get a Suicune for my shiny Mewtwo? Shiny Suicune might be a bit much you think?

Or counting event shinies?

I have one lol...my lil green glowing Golett (now a Golurk), Solaris. Took over 800 eggs to hatch him. I have NEVER seen a shiny anywhere else in all my years of playing.

Actually going to try participating in a competition XD
Battle of Legends registration ends today, so I spent last night hunting through my games finding all my old battle pokemon and transferring them over to black, then to the bank/X.

Should be fun, hoping my team is balanced enough to take on many different types

I have seen, caught, bred, traded for, given to me many many shinies. Some are gone though due to being traded/given away. And I have a small handful of hacked ones which are all legendaries. But they don't count given they're hacked.

Shinies I've seen but never been able to catch:
Tentacool - Silver version. Why couldn't I catch it? No pokeballs. ;^;

Shinies I've caught:
Deerling - White version
Muk - Friend Safari in X version
Sandslash (which has a ungodly horrendous name that is so bad I've been trying to breed a new shiny Sandshrew) - Ruby version
Throh - White version
Haxorus - White 2 version, the Nature Preserve always-shiny guy so he's kinda filed under "he's there but he's guaranteed to be shiny soo......." just like Lake Rage's Red Gyrarados
Maractus - White version
Audino - Friend Safari in X version
Camerupt - Friend Safari in X version
Nidoran Male - X version (horde battle~)
Golem - HeartGold version
Magmar - HeartGold version (in the Safari zone x_____x)
Teddiursa - X version
Seviper - Friend Safari (MaximumOverdrive's btw!! I literally caught him like 10min ago!!!) X version
Wingull - X version

Bred (all in X version):
Cyndaquil
Duskull
Hoothoot
Vulpix
Espurr

Traded/Given to me (all in X version):
Eevee
Charizard

Event (originally acquired in Gen 5 cartridges-- the Raikou was a trade):
Suicune
Raikou

Ones I hacked (all are stuck in my Diamond version):
Arceus
Palkia
Dialga
Darkrai
Shaymin

So, my original intent to coming here was to make mention that I found a shiny Seviper not too long ago in Max's safari! He's Impish (didn't gain my Espeon's neutral nature even though he has Synchronize ability) so he can't be a special attacker but he can still be a physical one! He also has the HA, Infiltrator 8D

I love him so much <3 Named him Basilisk and he's such a cute little sucker hermagerd.

Aww glad you got something cool! I like Sevipers too, and he's sooo cute!

Pfttt I remember our huge shiny Seviper spam we had on this thread a while ago when we all realised just how awesome shiny Seviper looked. x'D Congrats!

Is this what you call a 6IV?

Seilahyn, since I'm not sure if you're serious or not, you can check a Pokemon's IVs by going to the guy in the Pokemon Center in Kiloude City. If he says that a certain stat 'can't be beaten', the IV for said stat is perfect and can't get any better. I'll link to Serebii's page that explains it better than I can: http://www.serebii.net/games/ivs.shtml

Personally I've never really cared for IVs. That's a lot of math I can do without. x) IVs are really unimportant though if you're not into competitive play.

Since I don't battle competitively, I honestly have no idea. x_x

>>
I thought you could tell by the base stats when they are hatched if they were or not. Guess I totally don't understand this whole breedin g thing, lol. Sorry for the blatent stupidity. I've tried reading up on it but it can be bit confusing. So i have to check every one I hatch at an NPC.. but people sometimes trade legendaries 5-6IV. Hmm.

... *steals baby Gojira* I had no idea how a shiny Larvitar looked until now and now I want one. xD Congratulations on your continued lucky streak! (Seems he appeared right after I sent you that email? Maybe me sending those ever-so-rare emails triggered something else amazing to happen. xD *shot*)

And n'aw Seila you can't tell from the base stats sadly. I wish you could... but you can't. IVs are dumb. xD

Well I just spent $15 on 200 plus Pokemon cards Good as it's mostly X/Y ones and I have no 6th Gen pokes in card form yet.

Hey. XD *steals him back!* And thank you! I've still got four more boxes and the last batch of five from this second box to hatch, so if there's another one, you can have it. :3 And I managed to keep my reaction quiet this time since my boyfriend's asleep, I don't need to give him another heart attack.. (You never know! I haven't checked my email yet, so I had no idea you replied. *scampers off to do so*)

Yeah, IVs are weird like that, and complicated. Thinking about them and EVs gives me a headache. x_x

Oh god that'd be awesome. I dunno if I'd be able to evolve it though. xD Plus I'm not that frequent on X right now so I'd feel bad not doing anything with it. But I would happily accept one if you hatched one though so he at least has a home. I was never the biggest fan of Tyranitar (My Charizard Y and my friend's Tyranitar are basically sworn enemies xD) but dat shiny Larvitar...

I could always hold on to it for you, and bah, Tyranitar's amazing (I'm just playing, I understand why some people wouldn't like him much.) XD I'll let you know if there's another one, but it's going to take me all night to hatch all these, as Larvitar eggs take a while to hatch (they're as bad as Beldum eggs, thank heavens for Flame Body!)

Anyone have the Fourth Gen starters? They're the only ones I'm missing.

I do, including access to Iron Fist (Chimchar line hidden ability), I'd be happy to breed all three for you if you'd like?
