I've gone insane enough to hunt in the safari zone. There's also something with a 45 catch rate that appears fairly often. Someone talk me out of it.

Just caught a shiny Magikarp on an 11 chain while chain fishing. Kinda on the fence as to whether or not I should evolve it.

>>32623163 Uhh yeah, they're not possible to get any other way and the whole point of vivillon is trading so, that's all I can do until an event is released. And that's probably never going to happen either.

>>32624299 Is there a shiny you want to hunt less than all the others, due to not liking the only possible way/hating the pokemon in general?
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>32624124 Thing is, it's only speeding up the egg getting and hatching, leaving the shiny rate untouched.

Quoted By:
>>32624319 I've already hunted it. It's Houndoom. Although it is my absolute favorite Pokemon, I dislike the blue on it a lot, especially in the earlier generations. It just looks very off-putting to me. The first one for Houndour took me 192 eggs, and then over 900 more for the second.

Trading for them is the difficult part, I have the ability to make any Pokemon shiny, but who cares if I just made it that way.
It's hard to get my ideal Vivillon through trading (ball, name, nature, all shit you can't see when trading for something) It's easy to inject so there's no "thrill" to it. Taking a chance in trading for something is fun to me. Also it fulfill my gambling craving so I don't blow all my money.
TL;DR I wanted to do it this way, so I did. Simple as that.

I just grabbed Moon a few days ago and really want to get a shiny Wimpod. I haven't played since Ruby released but apparently there's a way to get shinies faster when you breed foreign parents? If I have a French Wimpod can I breed it with my English Ditto and have a better chance of getting a shiny? Does it matter if the Wimpod is male? And for other species that don't have the run away ability... is it better to do the SOS shiny chain thing when I hit a high level or better to breed foreign Pokemon?

>>32630517 Shiny Volcarona is sick, go for that, anon
>>32630717 If you breed those two (and considering you don't have the Shiny Charm), I'm pretty sure the odds are 1/1024 and no, the non-Ditto parent's gender doesn't matter. And about SOS vs. MM, it depends. If you're just looking for a trophy Shiny or anything like that it's the better method, but if you want one with nice IVs, guaranteed nature etc, go for Masuda Method (egg hatching).

Anon wanting the shiny Wimpod here. So I have my Destiny Knot, a foreign Ditto with 2 or 3 Best IV's and some Wimpods. Do I need anything else before I put them in the Daycare? Also on average how many SOS battles does it take to get shinies? I think I did close to 300 SOS calls on a Wishiwashi between yesterday and today before I ran out of moves (didn't have any PP berries woops). Is it necessary to use an Absol with Pressure or can I use any poke with False Swipe?
Ivanka 4442-3065-0315
>>32648754 Give Ditto the Destiny Knot. Check Wimpod's nature - if it has the nature you want give it an Everstone. The parent that is not a Ditto will pass down the nature to all of its offspring.
>Average chain It's random, yet with every one fainted Pokemon in SOS Battle the chance of encountering the Shiny is rising, as well the IV value.

>>32648822 Okay, thanks for that link! I'll toss an Everstone on Wimpod then. The SOS system is pretty neat, I've gotten Khangaskan and even evolutions from it so far.

Quoted By:
>>32648872 No problem. And what nature has your Wimpod?
>And totally unrelated but why do people put shiny stuff on the GTS with impossible requests? Is it to show off? There are 3rd party programs that are able to create impossible requests and inject such Pokemon to the game and then trade. Shinies on GTS are probably treats for "injectors" who will fulltify gamers' impossible requests.
