Lynxiechan 0 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I've actually heard that the rate decreased, so I dunno what's going on right now. I've been trying with the Pokeradar. Sadly, you can't use it in super tall grass (shiny honedge plz). I think you might be right on the decreased rate, but thats probably because of the new ways to "farm" shinies, so to speak. (if you dont know them theres the fishing chain and the horde spamming) Link to post Share on other sites
RadiantRegalia 4 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I've heard things like the shiny rate has been decreased to half of what it was in Gen 5, and other people say it's gone back to what it originally was. I'm not really sure what to believe. I think it's safe to say though that if you want a shiny, you should probably try and get the Shiny Charm first and save yourself some time. It took me nearly two weeks and over 1500 eggs to get a shiny Honedge using Masuda Method, and it had 1 attack IV even after all that. No way I'm going shiny hunting again until my National Pokédex is complete. Link to post Share on other sites
RasenShot 0 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Anyone interested in a trophy shiny Gyarados (obtained via masuda method), Fully EV trained (252 Atk/252 Spe/4Hp), Jolly and Lv 65. I'm mainly looking for other trophy shinies or another Gyarados/Magikarp. Link to post Share on other sites
Sapphire 0 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Define a trophy shiny? And the shiny rate has doubled in XY, in addition to all the usual methods. Remember, even with shiny charm and Masuada method and the doubles shiny rate, you'd still need to have about 1300+ eggs before you got a decent shiny chance. Link to post Share on other sites
AveMatic 0 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 UPDATE: about a month ago, I hatched a shiny drilbur and traded it for a 5IV Pokemon. Two weeks after that I hatched a shiny Mawile and traded that for a 5IV Pokemon as well lol. Now you maybe asking yourself "Why the hell are you trading away all these shinies"? Because they weren't perfectly bred for battle. The day I hatch a Competitively viable shiny Pokemon, you best believe its getting trained up :]]]]]] Link to post Share on other sites
RasenShot 0 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 A trophy shiny is a shiny that (as I understood), is not that good for competitive play, namely bad IVs and/or incorrect nature. Link to post Share on other sites
AveMatic 0 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 A trophy shiny is a shiny that (as I understood), is not that good for competitive play, namely bad IVs and/or incorrect nature. Really? I always thought that it was the exact opposite? lol Link to post Share on other sites
RasenShot 0 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Actually no, those are commonly named "competitive shinies". Link to post Share on other sites
AveMatic 0 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Actually no, those are commonly named "competitive shinies". Ahh ok, well it is fairly easy to get confused. I mean if you bred a shiny competitive Pokemon, that in its self sounds like enough of a trophy to me anyway lol Link to post Share on other sites
Sapphire 0 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Thnik about it-trophies get put on a shelf and look pretty-you don't actually USE them. Link to post Share on other sites

Tenshine 0 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 As far as I know, this topic is X/Y shinys, so I think any post about shiny pokemon is relevant. I don't think this topic was made JUST for people to brag about their shiny pokemon Link to post Share on other sites
Sapphire 0 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I meant that the last post was about shinys being on PO, and about Mega Evolution. Link to post Share on other sites
Gaunt 4 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 As far as I know, this topic is X/Y shinys, so I think any post about shiny pokemon is relevant. I don't think this topic was made JUST for people to brag about their shiny pokemon Really? And i thought it was exactly about that . This topic is about shinies caught ingame so yea that post was irrelevant. Link to post Share on other sites
Tenshine 0 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Ok, well I guess it was irrelevant, but I don't think there was a need to make any comment on it, ignoring it and waiting for someone else to make a relevant post would have been better Link to post Share on other sites
Arkhi 199 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 'eyyy, here's a totally relevant post: I've obtained a shiny Conkledurr and Quagsire. Both with so few shiny difference variations.Guess I'd better stick to Reborn, where the shinies thrive Link to post Share on other sites
Magus 33 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Even more relevant, shiny timid Eevee, plus a shiny Mew and Starme, my trophy box is filling up fast. Link to post Share on other sites
Sapphire 0 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 How did you get a shiny Mew? The only way to get a non-hacked one is via the old sea chart in Emerald. Link to post Share on other sites
Khayoz 0 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Black Rayquaza. All the way from Emerald. Damn bugger took over 10k resets (That's still considered quite lucky, I believe). Link to post Share on other sites
Sapphire 0 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I'm impressed. My shiny Rayquaza is an event one in a Cherish Ball so it's the 'common' version. 10k resets is dedication. Link to post Share on other sites
Sapphire 0 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 While breeding my VGC 14 team, my first egg from my Gligar was Shiny, had it's hidden ability (from a male too), was the right nature, and had perfect IVs in everything bar special attack. HUZZAH! Link to post Share on other sites
Khayoz 0 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Shiny Suicune from Wonder Trade. I thought it was the 2011 Gamestop one, but it turned out to be hacked Link to post Share on other sites
Sapphire 0 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 How do you know it was hacked? It IS possible to get a shiny Suicune the normal way. Link to post Share on other sites
