MMing? Friend Safari? RNG abuse? Share your stories and stay sane here - just because it's the middle of the week doesn't mean that you have to wait two more days to start the hunt!

Does somebody have a suggestion for a mon to MM for?

>>15901266 A Gen 6 one, so it isn't worthless when PokeBank opens up and everyone has all the 6IV Shinies they could ever want from Gen 1-5.

>>15901888 Hm... I guess I could go for a shiny Greninja.
Hopefully someone in WiFi general has a Protean one, they don't need anymore.

>>15901964 Try adding someone with it in their Friend Safari, would be an easier way to get a Protean starter as you'd need a female

>>15901997 Good idea.
I'll try looking for one.

>>15902040 You might also need an imposter Ditto for it, though I think you should be okay as long as the female has the ability. Can someone clarify this for us?

>>15902124 The female ones can pass down the abilities with normal Dittos.
Only the males ones need a DW Ditto.

The only shiny I've ever seen before was in Heart Gold, was a Graveler who used self destruct.
I've caught a Pumkaboo and Snorunt in there within a week. Wasn't even hunting, I just wanted to catch one with HA.

A few weeks ago I was hunting for dittos I can abuse. BF and I had a conversation about how shiny ditto is worthless and then a shiny ditto comes out of nowhere! Audino
Anonymous
>>15903425 Idk if shiny ditto is ENTIRELY worthless. I traded mine for a fishing shiny, but a shiny nonetheless (and it was one I couldn't get on X)
On another note, any good nicknames for a shiny female Clawitzer?

>>15901266 The MVP ones.
6th gen Pokemon that can't be radared and can't be FS.
Like HUGE Pumpkaboo (FS only has reg sized).
Or the Trex (I think that and the Female Espurr are the 2 most wanted shiny Pokemon. You can ONLY get the Trex from MMing or SR and though Espurr is in the FS it's still a bitch to find. Got THIS shiny well Cute Charm hunting it.
Have yet to see someone willing to part ways with a Espurr ...

I've been MMing Spinarak with a Japanese Ariados forever now... I just got it out of the daycare center and it's level 89. It's higher than any of the pokemon I used to beat the game. I got it when it was around level 43. I'm so afraid of how many eggs this has been without a shiny. I'm also sad that it will have shitty stats whenever I do get one, because I can't find a foreign male bug with at least 2 perfect IVs.

>>15901313 Who cares about that? I'd rather have a earlier gen shiny that I really like than a shit one from Kalos. Surely it only matters for you, unless you're just getting shinies to trade, in which case why not just do that Pokemon?
I'm not even trying to give you the 'real shinies have power of heart boo soulless Pokegen shinies', I'm saying why would it be worthless to you if you got it? It's the reason people still want red Gyarados.

I hadn't encountered a shiny since last February and I got two in the Friend Safari last night. I never really cared about shiny Pokemon which is why I put one of them on the GTS for Xerneas (it was a Spiritomb) for Dex completion.

accidentally found it on the first egg I hatched while I was breeding for a calm female with luxury ball to start my breeding for an umbreon for doubles, luckily this little dude has 31 in defense and special defense, and with a 26 in HP, it's only a 3 HP difference at level 50, going to run a taunt/helping hand because I play doubles

>>15909984 I usually do, but I figure I'd might as well enjoy getting a shiny version of one of my favorite Pokemon. I'd probably have gone Masuda Method instead if I was stat/nature hunting for real.
