So. Today is the most marvelous of days. After many attempts at Breeding for a shiny i give up and go into the Friend Safari, and Bam, Second encounter is this little beauty, Favorite Type, and Gen 6, pretty happy with myself. Shiny stories? Shiny Stories.
Bro 5155 3367 4712
I got a shiny Wingull literally like, 5 minutes ago looking for a Pinsir. I got attacked by 4 Wingull hoards in a row, the 3rd hoard had a shiny. I imagine my dude had some french fries or something on him. What else would whip so many seagulls into a frenzy and attack me like this?

Here's my shiny collection (not including events and the ones that are part of the game). First shiny I ever saw was a Phanpy (which fled). Then Starly (which I stupidly traded). Finally ran into another shiny way later, a Gobat. I held onto that guy for dear life. Way later I wanted another shiny Starly to make up for the one I traded away. I spent a long time PokeRadar-ing for one and was about to give up. I ran low on repels so I left the patch and went to get some more. When I walked back into the patch I forgot to turn the repel on. At first I thought it was another Bidoof because of the brown but it was actually a shiny Starly! tl;dr - Traded Starly away, Wanted a new one, failed to PokeRadar one, Encountered one without PokeRadar while I was going to PokeRadar for one

Having never caught a shiny in my life, where should I begin? I'm assuming I should wait until I unlock the pokeradar, and then read up on this "chaining" thing? Or should i look into breeding, I've read about the "Masuda method", which seems as simple as "get two pokemon from different countries and breed them endlessly until an egg is shiny"? I love the idea of breeding a shiny eevee, but no idea how long that would take, I'd settle for getting anything shiny just to say that I've actually managed to do it in my many many years playing pokemon if the latter method is easier.

I have found 2 in 2 days from the friend safari. if you are after a specific type, or pokemon, find a safari with ones you want as a shiny and just keep trying. if you arent online it limits to only two pokemon as well. You aren't guaranteed to find one, and although the chances are lower its faster than breeding for them. A friend of mine has hatched something like 400 eggs to get a shiny growlithe in the time its taken me to catch my two.
