>In what game?

>Why do you shiny hunt?
It wasn't something that I was interested in at first, but after finding so many shinies in Gen 6, I originally wanted to hunt for ones that I thought had a cool color scheme like turquoise, blue and black. After getting so many shinies, I pretty much said fuck it and decided to go for a shiny living dex. It's a work in progress, but I've gotten very far in it.
>Is your favorite shiny the same as your favorite Pokémon?
Nah. I never really did like Houndoom's shiny colors.

You're doing it all wrong, if you get the shiny on Box 26, you'll have to hatch 26 boxes all over again. If you're saving in the middle of it you're fucking it up.

Hatch 1 box at a time. Save before putting the karp in, and take the Karp out on egg #30.

Do shiny hunters ever -want- genned pokemon or is the entire hunt about the difficulty of breeding/hunting?

Like, do any of you guys get tired of breeding just for a shiny to be 31 spa instead of 31 atk because crap rng? If a pkhex user popped in here to offer to gen anyone a penta perfect shiny, any egg moves, nature, whatever Pokemon they were hunting, how many people would bite? Is it frowned upon in the thread to offer to gen for people (outside of that pokegen request thread)

I mean, I'm pretty sure that if anyone wanted to gen something in, they could probably do it themself, but then that just defeats the thrill of the hunt. It's all a game of patience, endurance, and satisfaction to a hunt that will eventually be rewarding.

As far as i'm aware, it's pretty tough to get injectors working, no? I could be ignorant on it, for sure, but I thought only hacked 3ds could gen Pokemon and stuff?

In any case, I figured most do shw for the thrill, but I notice there aren't as many injector threads as usual and just wanted to ask the genpop their opinion on someone offering to gen specifically for shw people.

In all honesty, I have no idea how PkHex or injecting works, but there's probably some explanation in pre-existing threads or maybe in /gga/. I guess as far as getting something injected would probably be as far as maybe a Smeargle to hunt with or a good IV Ditto, even though the latter isn't that hard to obtain, as well as making usage of the hexaflawless seven. I'm not speaking for everyone since maybe there's a few here who would be into that, but the majority are probably against receiving anything genned.

On a side note, got my Vulpix, and the entirety of the Vulpix line is complete.

I could have just genned my 75 box shiny Cutiefly, but if you're just going to create a shiny like that, what's even the point of it being shiny? Furthermore, why would someone even enter a thread about hunting shinies and assume "people might want to cheat for them here."

I would since the only exceptions I would make towards shinies are event legendaries (Rayquaza, Xerneas, Yveltal, etc.); however, I didn't get a chance to participate in the competition to acquire the shiny Mewtwo, so I'm stuck SRing for it.

Only when I really like the shiny colours, or vastly prefer them to the usual palette. Other than that it's a nice feeling when you finally get what you're after.
>Is your favorite Shiny the same as your favorite Pokémon?
Nope, my favourite is dragonite and I prefer its regular colours, although I do like the shiny.

These are all the shinies I've obtained in Moon over the last few months, besides the lurantis and ribombee which I obtained during my initial playthrough. I've generally been super lucky with them, especially with ribombee and pikipek, which were random encounters. It seems my luck is running thin now that I'm 28 boxes into this eevee hunt. Hopefully it'll shine soon.

I, on the other hand, just reached 24945 REs on my Tentacool hunt, making it my new longest hunt. Wish me luck guys, I feel like this hunt is just beginning.

I'm hunting these two because these are two shinies I owned in old games and have lost to time. I never shiny hunt but I have literally nothing to do this weekend so fuck it. I've got booze and some comfy videos playing
>Is your favorite Shiny the same as your favorite Pokémon?
Nope. Gligar is my favorite Pokemon and I'm not sure what my favorite shiny is but it's not Gligar.

I actually haven't figured out how I'm going to hunt these boys yet. Probably DexNav but we'll see. Hordes might be easier.

What's your strategy for Cave Dexnav? You can't feasibly chain in those, so you don't get the bonus shiny chances on encounters 49 and 99.

In Unown's location, it was easier since you could do a couple of encounters even when it's sped up, but I like to mix up running after the 4th encounter, leaving the area, as well as just straight-up continuing the chain when the Pokemon moves faster. I never knew about the bonus chances, but does it only apply to caves or overall? I've gotten shinies way before 50 but in the grass.

Chaining Dexnav encounters grants a higher shiny chance. But only for encounters 49 and 99, 99 having the highest bonus of all. At 99 chain at 999 search level, the shiny rate is over 2%.

Likewise, especially if the Pokemon you're hunting isn't found with some sort of method other than REs. Don't get me wrong, REs aren't bad, but if you want your direct target, then MMing is the way to go.
