Starting on my 8th box for MMing a shiny goomy. If it hatches and it doesn't have gooey I might just kill someone.

>>17379343 Dude decided to MM for a Vespiquen. Only problem is that only 1 of every 8 Combee is female.
Fucker hatched something like 350 boxes and got six shiny males before he finally beheld his glorious queen.

>>17379510 So have you ever had any successful MM escapades? What were they if you have?
Kim: 2895 7622 6883 !adtcifLOss
>>17379623 Nope. I've only met 2 shinies in my life, and they were both in X/Y. One was a Gible on the plains during the story, so I became my bro for a while, the other one was the Pansear that I just met.

I've MM'd a few pokes before. Previously, a 5iv evee was my most idiotic adventure, but trying to MM a goomy makes me want to kill small children.

Sunkern is my first wild encounter (safari) Charmander took a whole weekend, lost count how many boxes. (had two in the same box but the second one had 31/31/x/x/x/0) Shuppet took maybe 6-7 boxes. Two hatched in the same party. The one I evolved for battling is 31/31/31/x/31/x The other I kept for 'amie 31/31/31/31/x/x
