Wow G, it looks like your luck's been soaring!
I finally managed to pick up a shiny this summer- a beautiful shiny spearow after 14,038 REs in Leafgreen. Moving on to a Johto starter hunt now just to try to get soooomething else for the International Shiny Hunter's Cup.
Caught a shiny Camerupt in a safari last night! Love me some Ground-type Pokemon :)
She has Magma Armor, Quiet Nature, with IVs in HP, Atk, and Spd.
SHINY DWEBBLE!
Wow people you amaze me, y'all arent slacking offlike I do! I'm going to breed new shiny team for coming Omega Ruby and beat the game with that team. Well... Not the entire team, practically I have 3 Pokemon I need already. :)
Shiny Mudkip!! By Jove, this luck is absurd!!! Mudkip #2637 is shiny! My first SS shiny, and now I have all of the shiny Hoenn starters!
Good luck! Which Pokemon are you going for? You should take some of the club's luck and try to get all three at once or something, haha! :pink_laugh:

Going back through January, that's 7 consecutive hunts that were successful sooner than the average. "lol" they were even under the 5678 median, with the longest of the 7 hunts taking only 3628 encounters. I wonder if I'm pushing some all-time shiny luck records, "lol."
Congrats on the Spearow, TSE! Feel free to take some luck for your Johto starter hunt - we have tons of extra luck to go around!!!
Congratulations on your luck once again. I'm going to breed Shiny Vulpix for sure, I already have Shiny LV 1 Milotic, Eevee with Anticipation and Rotom, If Gamefreak will give Shiny Beldum I will take it for sure, for the last one I think I'll go with Mudkip.
What is with you and your luck buddy?xD Watch you hit some awful drought now though. No, scratch that, keep going!
Apparently I did steal the luck because after 2700 something starters seen, I found a Cyndaquil today! After 3 Totodiles and 3 Chikoritas that's exactly what I was hoping for.
Forgot to mention that I guessed both the Bold nature of my Spearow, and now the Relaxed nature of my Cyndaquil too. I think I'm psychic O_O
Congrats G on all those shinies, you are in a really nice streak this month. keep up the good work.
Right now I am competitive breeding a Tyrunt with it's elemental fangs, hoping to get a shiny version. Right now I have the following shinies:
Aegislash - bred it myself
Exeggutor - friend gave it too me
Metagross - traded for it here
Venipede - traded for it here
2 Raikous - wonder trade
another shiny Larvesta showed up
@G-Money Congratz on the Mudkip, Squirtle, Piplup, Mankey and Chikorita. GEE that's some luck isn't it? (Bad puns, gotta love em)
Congrats on the Magmar and the Larvesta, Enderjay! Hope you can reclaim that Fletchinder soon!
Hello all. Finally found the last shiny hoppip last night while watching tv. I couldn't help but celebrate and everyone was looking at me wierd. Explaining my excitement didn't make it less wierd. Im so jealous of those shiny starters. I only have shiny Charmeleon and I haven't found any more in the safaris. Im definitely doing the ponyta hunt because I always wanted it, Rapidash as well. I wont freak out like that one kid online did. I might try to use the repel trick. Good Luck everyone!
I can't believe my good luck! Just got another Shiny Ponyta! Definitely evolving it into Rapidash! Maybe I'll get shiny Braxen. I tried safari hunting before, but never with this much luck.
And congrats on that Chimchar, G-Money!
shiny hoppip
If so he's the guy who inspired me to hunt XD That was an older video and his live reactions now are less energetic. Still energetic but not so much as in the Ponyta vid. But you gotta admit it was a pretty awesome reaction (unless you were wearing loud headphones).
Yeah, thats him. Thats when I found out what extreames people went to get shinies. Classic reaction. Can't think about Ponyta/ Rapidash and shiny hunting without thinking about this guy. I showed my sister and shes like " your not going to go that extreme and crazy, are you? Having all those systems to look for one shiny?" I try to keep my excitement to a minimum or I'll freek the whole neighborhood. I am thinking about it but its easier now in X and Y to find them, so ill stick to two, for now
While looking for Shiny ponyta in the friend safari I found a shiny Charmeleon! Im going to evolve it into a Charizard since I have Charmeleon. Now I need shiny Charmander. Still looking for Shiny ponyta. Its my first friend safari shiny and I had just turn on the 3ds and saw 4 pokemon when he popped up. :)
Got shiny Ponyta! Was watching tv and when I looked down there it was! Maybe I can find another.
I can't believe my good luck! Just got another Shiny Ponyta! Definitely evolving it into Rapidash! Maybe I'll get shiny Braxen. I tried safari hunting before, but never with this much luck.
Congratulations on that crazy luck of yours! I should go for Ponyta eventually- it's one worth hunting for.
Already got half of the monthly quest out of the way, since I've just found myself a Gentle/Flame Body Fletchinder.
After two shiny Magmar and two shiny Larvesta, he finally decided to show up! Named him Cognac, he'll be my new egg hatching lead and Fly HM.
And now that Fletchinder and Larvesta are back where they belong, that brings all of my reclaim quests to an end! I'm glad I don't have to worry about that anymore.
Attempting to chain-fish the second installment to the challenge- I've never had any luck with it before, so we'll see how things turn out.
Happy hunting! :15:
Congrats on reclaiming all of your shinies, Enderjay! But I'm afraid Friend Safari and chain-fished shinies aren't counted for the Quests - they still count for the club, though! Sorry if I didn't make that clearer in my post.
"But I'm afraid Friend Safari and chain-fished shinies aren't counted for the Quests - they still count for the club, though!"
Does that mean the Ponyta I caught do not count for the random encounter? I can still catch another one in my other games if that is the case.
Aw, seriously? I've completed quests before, using the Friend Safari (a few months ago, I caught a Hoppip, Pikachu, and Dedenne for the Yellow challenge).
I was never called out for it until now. I guess that means that effort never really counted as a quest, huh?
That kinda stinks. Although, it does spice things up a bit- things'll get a lot more challenging.
So to make it totally clear, the only options I have are MM and RE/SR?
