I just don't have time to sit there, hoping for a shiny. I'm hoping I'm going to accidentally hatch one while I'm breeding Pokemon for Wonder Trade. And, as a 20 year old man, I can justify breeding for Wonder Trade better than I can justify spending time chaining for OMGSHINY
alas

Just out of curiosity, what are the odds of having your starter Pokemon being a shiny?

My gf caught shiny Scatterbug during her first hour in X. It's her second shiny that isn't Red Gyarados.
And I have only that Red Gyarados. Of course I'm happy that she found a shiny that she really likes, but I just keep wondering when I get my first shiny... Feels bad man.

Depends. Is the starter being a shiny the only thing you would reset for?

I was just curious because I didn't reset or anything. I just picked Chespin and then boom, he was a shiny all on my first try

Chesnaught's shiny is one of the few good ones, so you really lucked out OP. Congrats.

>>15945146
Oh no, he can't use his starter competitively. Because that's a thing many people do.

Don't worry Anon. Gen VI is the generation of the Shiny. I never encountered a Shiny before XY. I've found 4 since I started playing.
Shiny Chespin
Shiny Teddiursa
Shiny Mime Jr.
Shiny Meditite.

Feels good.

It looks better as a mega evolution too.

The problem though is that it isn't really similar, the problem is that it suffers from "Green/Purple" stigma.

53 out of the original 150 suffer from shitty green shinies as an example.

a lot of water pokemon get purple/magenta shinies

Know that feel bro. Got into Pokémon starting with the first generation, played most of the games since then - never got a "real" shiny.

Today I hatched a shiny Chingling. It's mighty fucking cute, but I don't really see an use for it competitively.

Evolving it would make it slightly more viable, but I prefer Chingling's design over Chimecho's overall.

Still probably going to use it on my team in single player, since it feels like an accomplishment of sorts, but I don't see it surviving for long when battling other people online.

PS. I've got like ten shinies in total, but those were received from trades and I wouldn't be surprised if they were PokeGen'd.

It's really really lime green which helps with that assumption too.

Its Mega almost looks like a shiny Deoxys form.

My only complaint with mega Scizor itself is the fucking wings, they flap so fast that it looks like a 2 frame animation.

Usually the chances of a Pokemon being shiny is 1/8192, but I think they doubled the chances this gen (the pokemon rom guys crunched some numbers and looked at the PMKX files)

Yup. Shame too, since Chingling is kinda cool with only a slight variation to the coloring of the rope on the top of it's head. I was hoping for something better. Well, whatever. First "real" shiny, it's definitely getting into the hall of fame now. I'll probably have it hold Eviolite and that'll be it.
