I've played Pokemon for almost 2 decades but I've never found a shiny pkmn other than story ones.

At some point, you only have yourself to blame, especially with hunting having gotten easier AND number of encounters being increased to 15 at a time. I found 2 random during playthrough of Violet and not even half way finished Scarlet, I found a shiny Shroodle and added it to my team.
Also, Legends' mass outbreaks/massive mass outbreaks as well as shiny charm map running. It's shit for selectively hunting shinies, yes. But if you just want the kick of hearing the tinkle and knowing it's a different coloured cunt, it's great.

Unironically go rader hunting in BDSP, it's the most free they've been.

Same for me. And then in Violet I ran over a shiny Snorunt that had just spawned in front of me while I was exploring.

And I'm pretty sure I missed a shiny paldean Wooper at one point since seeing a blueish Wooper didn't register as something weird in my brain.

Radar hunting in BDSP is easy but it doesnt come close to how PLA and SV just shit shinies out.

OP probably plays for 2 hours and then forgets what he's doing.

I tripped over a shiny Cubcho as I was backing up while trying to look at the peak of Glasedo's grasp when I first found it.

Reading comprehension, anon-chan.

I've never hunted for a shiny but I've probably found about a dozen over the years. Worst one was a Wurmple that appeared in Sapphire before I could get Pokeballs. Best one was a shiny Geodude which was my first encounter in Mt. Moon (Fire Red) and I was planning on using a Geodude on my team anyway

I played every mainline game that had shinies since they were introduced and my first non-chained, non shiny charmed shiny was a Garganacl in Area Zero in Scarlet. That is to say it took 24 years for me to catch a shiny. Don't feel bad; it will happen eventually. Worst case scenario, you're getting all the bad luck out of the way so that your son can catch a shiny Azuril immediately after starting Violet version, his first Pokemon game.

I’ve found 4 full odds shinies without hunting them, a Duskull in Ruby, a Marill in Emerald, a Diglett in SoulSilver, and a Mienfoo in Black 2. You must just be unlucky.

I never cared for shinnies. They are just glorified pallet swaps anyway. I hatched a few ones during my Gen VI breedie days, but since they didn't had the right stats/abilities, I sent them through Wonder Trade. After that, I became a mighty injectchad (my cock gained 5 inches when I modded my 3DS) and I still haven't used a shiny.

Found a shiny Drowzee the day Scarlet dropped. In one of the first areas. It's so easy.

I usually don't have to do it for more than half an hour, and sometimes it just doesn't come at all. Just gotta keep doing it.

I only ever got a couple random shinies when I was a kid but in the past year I've been getting a ton of them.
Just last week I caught a shiny Articuno in LeafGreen and hatched a shiny Ralts in Emerald within a couple days of each other. Found a shiny Ralts in Scarlet and PLA too when I played those.

Faggot.
Not everyone wants to hunt.
That's not the fun part.

>>53534999
Feel you, anon. Grew up through Pokemania, never gotten a random shiny, just hunted ones.

You don't need to hunt, is the point. You just need to open your fucking eyes when playing now. If that's hunting to you fuck off back to staged encounters and play hopefag. The issue will always be you're not rolling enough to find the cunts and as you don't want to tweak the rolls in your favour, you're clearly a lucktard on top.

TFW the first shiny of Violet was a shiny Shinx standing in a circle of its normal fellows, right under Klawf.

That mother fucker vanished when I got close enough to send in a ball to initiate battle because Klawf decided to move his ass.

I'M STILL MAD.

Given that their appearance is entirely random it is entirely possible to play for years without ever encountering them.

I didn't even know they were a thing until HGSS when a shiny Cyndaquil happened to hatch from an egg I had bred from my starter for trades. I was so confused and had to look it up.

Since then I encountered a couple more trashmon shinies until PLA, when mass outbreaks made them much easier to find and I collected a bunch. Since then they have felt much less special.

At this point I do not care much for them unless their alternative colour scheme is inherently appealing. A lot of them are virtually indistinguishable from the regular one or downright ugly.
