Alola is truly the greatest generation for shinies. The game just fucking throws them at you, I've captured more shinies this week on Sun than in every other pokemon game I've played.

And I have been playing since silver. It's beautiful, really.

Don't you feel like that makes them a little less special though? I mean I personally have only found one in Moon so far, and 3 total in my entire pokemon playing experience, but I feel that if shinies become so easy to find, the excitement of acquiring one will quickly degrade.

With injections and other ways of hacking them in they were already less special, anon.

A hacked shiny wouldn't feel special to me either. Doesn't really count. Unless I catch it myself, I don't really care about it.

Which is why I never get that excited when I receive a shiny through Wonder Trade. It's sort of like taking a big gold trophy from someone. Sure, you have the trophy, but without the experiences it really means nothing.

I've only ever encountered one anon. It was a Goldeen in HG while I was EV training my Sandslash. I had to check the colour online because I wasn't even sure it was shiny.

That sucks, anon. Just imagine the excitement when you finally do find one though. That pokemon will become so incredibly special to you and you'll talk about it for years to come.

I have to admit, it kinda does. But just a little tho, and I am glad to have a team of my bros from this gen on their shiny forms without it being impossibly dificult.

>>30690763
In a way, beyond the alt colors, the deal of shinies is that they are rare finds. Injecting them misses the entire point of it. I understand doing so for great looking shinies, however.

Never cared for that thing but I was so fucking stoked that I actually got a Shiny that I ended up catching that piece of shit anyway. Ended up completely forgetting about my Diamond cart because I lost interest in Pokemon around that time anyway

Could be worse. Still one more than many players have seen in their entire lifetime. Was it something good at least?

I refuse to count that since there's a higher chance. Wasn't even the shiny I wanted.

Funny enough, I haven even seen one yet, and I have about 85 hours in the game. Meanwhile in Kalos, at that point I've already gotten 3 of them.

I'm also 4 Pokemon away from completing the Alola Dex, and I've done quite a lot of breeding with a Foriegn Ditto such as breeding 3 boxes worth of Dhelmise and a half a box of each of the obtainable pseudo legends.

I've seen two natural shinys in my lifetime, a shiny Zubat and a shiny Chingling. Both are lost to time.

What's the chance of getting a shiny on the pelago and actually getting ot to stay? I feel like this was the most special shiny I've gotten out of all the other 2 that I've managed to get.

I'm probably just spouting bullshit, but check on them often.

I think just filling the basket up with beans attracts wild pokemon to come, and not stay.
