holy shit what kind of faggot seriously does this
>THERE IT IS
THERE IT IS
>THERE IT IS

Shiny Locks weren't introduced until Gen 5

someone with an awful lot of time

well that's good to know

253 resets

Are you listening to Sum41 I hear that helps

...

>looking for shinies
>not just getting lucky with rng

I had shinies in gen 1

The flat rate is 1 in 8000ish so you'll be resetting a while longer.
if you want a shiny lapras there's no reason not to masuda method in gen 6 with shiny charm.

Depends on the method, poke radar chaining is quite reliable and quick and only requires a mild level of autism, breeding takes quite a bit more time but still only needs moderate autism but legendary resetters and people who shiny hunt pokemon that they could be masuda-ing for no reason are full blown, super premium autism.

I have some chain fished shinies
Milotic
Remoraid
Wailord
Magikarp
Skrelp
Shellder
Kingdra
Corphish
I mean I know they aren't "rare" per se, but it feels good to look at them

nah ur a fagit if you do any of that shit

every shiny you get should be by pure and utter luck of the draw

I have found 0 but you better goddamn believe when I find one it won't be from no easy mode bullshit.

>shiny hunting pre-gen 6 before the shiny charm and chaining exists

Why would you do that to yourself?

Oh so you've got a similar sort of autism that's fueling the kind of shiny hunters that go after safari zone chansey's and shit.
The super premium kind except with less dedication.

It's an honor thing, they like to say they did it because they think people care or they're in so deep that they actually care.
That or youtube videos.

youtube.com/watch?v=DoahiJMkO4A

No I just don't really care much so I justify my lack of interest in shinies by acting like it's out of a sense that only the normal way of getting them is legit.

Gen 2 actually.

That seems unnecessarily convoluted but whatever, you do you.

I got shiny Rayquaza around 700 resets on soul silver.

And then they gave it away in an event with 3 max ivs.
Does even that relatively small amount of time seem like a waste now?

NOTHING COULD EVER BE THIS REAL

Is getting a shiny wild Pokemon much harder than getting a shiny starter? Because I got a shiny Chikorita on Soul Silver after 16 resets.

The base chance for a pokemon to be shiny is 1/8192.

Enjoy.

>your starter can be shiney
whaaaaaaaaat

I have 2 shinies that I found. Cubchoo and shinx. I don't play pokemon anymore because i'm not a loser.

This is why people inject. Why would you reset the game over and over for different colored pixles?

It's the same except i think in HGSS when the starter is shiny it shows up in the sprites you pick from so you can effectively encounter 3 pokemon at a time.
Though i've only heard this and then found it to be true at least when you use AR codes, so you'd be the expert here.

every pokemon can be shiny (except shiny-locked legendaries that are reserved for events)

that Ralts Wally catches at the beginning of Ruby/Sapphire can be shiny

I'm a gen2bab okay it's hard to move away

got pics?

323 resets

It has my OT/ID/SID/PID legit.

And they didn't put out event shiny Rayquaza in 2010 when I caught it, also with sun/moon it will be able to get max ivs.

I don't do any of the breeding autism tho, but I did want my own shiny ray. pkhex/pokegen is always useful if I need something quick.

It's a shame that if that ralts is shiny his ralts later in the game isn't.
Would have been great to rub it in.

It's called autism. Manchildren often have it.

No sorry, I don't have my 3DS with me atm
Took anywhere from 1-3 hours for each one

All of that doesn't mean you can't feel disappointed.
I had 2 shiny beldums from gen 4 but i got disappointed when the event beldum was way better.
And i didn't even spend as much time on those beldums.

If it's not a legendary, why not just breed? Your chance is 1/512 if you breed in gen 6 with the highest chances. Just do that.

...

>Catch Pokemon
>Save
>Open save in save editor
>Tick the shiny box for that Pokemon

Congratulations, you just caught a shiny Pokemon.

Among the shiny hunting community, gen 6 shinies are not seen as special as pre-gen 6 shinies since it was much harder to get back then.

>played 1 game in every gen so far, at least 200 hours in each game
>seen 0 shinies except that fucking red gyrados everyone gets
Who else /noshinies/ here?

at least post it
youtube.com/watch?v=FfbQDP2X4QE

A lot of my Pokemon in my collection have sentimental value, I don't care much they ain't the best when I can just make something better with pkhex for online battles. And I would just play on showdown anyway.

not him but
Aren't they more usable because of the pentagon though
I only have Palkia, Dialga, Giratina, and the fixed Haxorus and Gible.

Yes but shiny hunters usually don't give a shit about competitive.

You'd think there would be a lot of autistic overlap between the two.

Huh, most of hunters I've seen were trying to get the right nature on theirs. Also balltism is great in 6th gen but eh.
My Shiny Palkia is the event one from BW2 but it's my favorite one

yes it has, you need to fight it 234 times without reset before shinny start appearing

only shiny i ever found was a bidoof and i fuckin murdered the shit out of it. i hatebidoofs

You suck. I got a golden Onyx, a green Tentacool, a shiny Cleffa from the daycare center's egg at Goldenrod, a golden Vulpix and a green Oddidh in my different pokemon Crystal games.

I never got one again in the games that came after though.

surprised this hasn't been posted yet

>using quick balls after the 1st turn

Does he think they're like timer balls but reversed?

Oh I have never seen that before thanks!

What a ding dong, quick balls aren't as good as ultras after the first turn.

Man, I forgot how garbage gen 5's animations are.

Was it autism?

haha hilarious

>I need this!
>I need this palette swapped Pokemon that I'll just box and never use! I NEED IT!

>Call yourself a "Shiny Hunter"
>Doesn't even understand the basic catch rates of Pokeballs

>That slow slow slow depletion of the health bar

Fuck I laughed.

It would've been funnier if it was Gen 4 HP speed. The fucker would've sat there for at least 20 seconds just staring at his dead shiny.

...

>Not keeping a pokemon with damp while exploring

...

no

isn't Gen 6 for 3DS?
I don't own one... yet

>the right nature
>on a Pokémon with a 0.01% chance of spawning
wat

I didn't play any Pokemon after Silver. Would this guy catch is Pokemon if reduced his health first instead of throwing pokeballs and counting on luck?

this opened a new world for me, shiny hunting failures. A bit maddening with all the gameboys and their music on at the same time, but very hilarious

It's worse.
In breeding they can manipulate it
If it's wild they can too
But if it doesn't work, autism can happen. I remember some retard resetting his shiny thundurus because it was docile.
Unrelated but some guy purposely killed a shiny skorupi because he was ev training for a friend, then whining about his "bad luck." Some people don't know ev reducing berries exist I guess

maybe he did it because he knew it had explosion?

should have thrown a quick ball first though.

>spending hours hunting for shinies in a game where anyone can just cheat and get one

No one will ever believe it's legit, and even if it was who cares? I'll never understand this.

I knew that he did that because of explosion but the fact that he had a change makes it more funny.

probably not, a quick ball might've done the job
if he was hunting specifically for shinies he would've had a sporer or voider in the first slot to sleep it beforehand

I found this guy 3 days into my new SoulSilver playthrough
and now I can't stop rolling the dice
I don't know man I'm just passing the time

Wait, it's an emulator? What the fuck, that's even more pointless

I wonder if it stayed shiny in the playthrough.

not completely
I can transfer my save file to my R4 anyway
and shit I've been hunting Lapras for 3 days now on both DS and PC

...
and still nothing...

youtu.be/DoahiJMkO4A

it didint.

I'd understand wanting shinies if the game was multiplayer, but a singleplayer game like Pokemon?

you can play against people online you know.

>Werster
Meh, he probably just cheated

This

Only real way to get a shiny is through a random encounter.

None of this shiny charm chaining faggotry.

SR'ing is alright though

So can the pokemon the professor shows you in the opening cutscene of Black and White.Not sure if other versions had that. Also so can the poochyena you fight in the begining of RSE

60+ shiny pokemon and counting. just evolved my shiny zweilous into hydreigon.

haven't picked up shiny hunting in a while. my future goal is to get goomy, since it's the last pseudo i have in non-shiny.

There was a guy on /vp/ who went through three (3) shiny Combees because he wanted a 6IV shiny female

>Have six shinies (seven counting red gyarados)
>Nobody believes me because I don't carry my 3ds everywhere

Now this is autism

What's the point of shiny pokemon? Isn't that like wanting your pet to be an albino?

What did he forget?

>60+
no pics?

I like that Glaceon

it used to be that Shinies were stronger than their regular form
not sure why that isn't the case anymore

eh, this is gonna take a while. gimmie some time and i'll post pics. here's one that i got almost 10 years ago!

Why didn't he weaken it or put status?

233 resets is nothing dude.

I once was bored enough to reset for shiny Latias in BW2.
Took me like 7000 tries and that was with the shiny charm.

I mean, I did that over the course of like two weeks but I'd never do that ever again.

I am a gigantic faggot, please rape my face.

>So can the pokemon the professor shows you in the opening cutscene of Black and White

A guy on /vp/ actually had that happen to him.
Literally the worst luck you can possibly have.

>it used to be that Shinies were stronger than their regular form
>not sure why that isn't the case anymore
It was never the case to begin with.
In Gen II, shinies were actually weaker due to how shinyness was determined by IVs. Usually shit ones.
In Gen III and beyond, being shiny was no longer determined by stats.

I fucking love shiny Crobat for some reason.

...

I remember trying to use the chain fishing method to get a shiny Staryu. Really wanted one. It was on the same route as a Clauncher. I spent fucking days there. I got about 8 shiny Clauncher before finally getting the one Staryu

Ouch

And with Rash nature, wow.

Why does he sound like an anime character?

at least it was within the range
fuckin' hell my notepad says 541 so far

open wide

I find this hard to believe but Google agrees

cute

So how many shinies have you guys found?

>Shiny Zubat in Leafgreen
>Shiny Nidoran Male in Leafgreen (fainted)
>Shiny Torchic via breeding in Ruby
>Shiny Spinda in Ruby
>Shiny Sandile in White

Off the top of my head.

I've never seen one, and If I ever did encounter one my younger self didn't know shit about shiny pokemon.

>shiny Lotad in Saphire
>shiny Houndour in Platinum
>shiny Beldum with Masudaing in BW
>shiny Latias with resetting in BW2
>shiny Ursaring in XY

Those are all the ones I got by myself.
I have a few more that friends of mine found and then cloned in Emerald with the glitch so we all had them.

>I find this hard to believe but Google agrees
It's true, and what makes that even more hilarious is that speedrunners will reset if the get a shiny starter in Gen II.
Fun fact, gender was also determined by stats in Gen II, Pokemon with lower Attack IVs were female.

I've found a shiny Poochyena, Kricketune, and Aaron. It's been years, unfortunately.

The reason why they reset is mostly because of the shiny animation though.
That adds up nearly 4 seconds every single match.

Ah, that makes sense.

Just gameshark force a shiny encounter you retard

It's 1/8142 or something in HGSS. You're better off playing XY and soft resetting on the gift Lapras in it, since the rate there is 1/4071 or whatever.

In XY just doing Bike Sim for good IV's because I enjoy doing that on the side of other things, I got a Shiny Electrike and Spritzee by pure chance. Both had good enough stats to use competitively and have spots on my various teams now.

Other than the two mentioned

>Tyrouge in Crystal, evolved to Hitmontop
>Registeel in Emerald, don't have it anymore though
>Minccino, Pidgey, Nidoran-M, Larvesta, Pachirisu in Y
>Linoone, Swablu in OR

All by chance.

>speedrunners
Who cares about this cancer

I enjoy watching them, honestly. It's interesting seeing a game optimized.
Plus 151 mon runs in Gen I are a sight to behold.

Too many to count. Pokeradar in Pearl and Y being Y made the count grow big.

If you mean COMPLETELY random ones, Gligar in Gold, Poochyena, Zigzagoon and Machop in Emerald, Porygon in Leaf Green, Golduck, Duskull and Wingull in Pearl, Cofagrigus in Black, female Frillish in White 2 and Flabèbè Yellow in Y. The only shinies i lost were a Roaring Mightyena in Emerald and a resetted-out-of-habit Zekrom in Alpha Sapphire.

>Shiny Paras in Gold (fainted)
>Shiny Donphan in HeartGold (fainted)
>Shiny Farfetch'd in SoulSilver (see above)

I am an unlucky man

has wester killed himself yet?

bumping because will have shinies ready soon.

A shiny Mankey in fire red. That's it.

It's not like I don't play the games either. Maybe I just have shit luck.

>shiny pokemon
>kill it

>1/4000 chance of encountering a shiny
>"i've reset my game 200 times why no shiny XD"

>Start a new game in Emerald
>Find a shiny Poochyena when I just got my starter
>No Pokeballs to catch it

The only time I've ever seen a shiny is when the professor was showing me how to catch pokemon in white I believe.

>Comments are disabled for this video.

>Show your shinies
Here's my favourite.

All these are shiny, and I have a few more in X/Y i think. Fishing makes it really easy to get

Do shinies not have different box sprites than regulars?
t. someone who has never gotten a shiny

I've caught
>Magnemite in Emerald
>Hoppip in Soul Silver
>Solosis in White
>Haunter in AS
>Spiritomb in AS friend safari
Bred
>Larvesta
>Togepi
Chain fished
>Remoraid
>Staryu x2
>Clauncher
Wondertrade
>Liligant
>Gulpin
And a couple boxes worth of various others from giveaway threads on /vp/

I wasted a lot of time on this game, I bred all these plus a Mawile.

Oops, meant X for Haunter and Spiritomb

They don't. I really wish they'd give every pokemon a custom shiny color instead of shifting just a few colors to the side. Fucking puke green and pink shinies everywhere

>Shiny Tyrunt
Genuinely pretty jealous. I spent more time than i did getting 2 shiny Eevee's on getting one before i gave up.

Yeah, he was by far my longest hunt, and considering the fucker takes forever to hatch made it even worse.

Eeveelutions are always nice

>Ho-Oh
no way

is that... a sword Pokémon?
what the crap?
also digging that appropriately pink Hera

>no way
way

It was only the third soft reset too. Had to use a master ball, all the fucker knows is 5PP moves

I've gotten to a point where its actually rarer to be playing pokémon for the last 14 year and not find a single shiny.

i found at least 4 of these fuckers while soft resetting for a shiny torchic. drove me fucking insane. it's been over a god damn decade and i still haven't gotten a shiny torchic.

>bring Smearlge with Spore
>they waste at least 12 turns sleeping
>throw a few Timer Balls
>never have to worry about them struggling to death
>however if i actually want to let them struggle themselves instead of attacking myself, the same Smeargle uses Imprison then Transform

Yes, and it the shiny looks majestic as fuck.

>use Reddit's SVExchange sub to get a few shinies hatched and to pick up some giveaways
>have a guy hatch my 6 IV bulbasaur
>forgot to have him nickname it "Rare Pepe"

Missed opportunity, it doesn't work as well as a non-shiny name, and since it hatched on his game I can't do it myself.

I think I have around a dozen legit shinies though, had to sacrifice a few to complete my living dex but it was completely worth it. Poke bank is a gift from the gods.

Is a shiny charizard rare, someone knows? Got one after like 3 million eggs just because.

No, everyone likes the ebin black sun dragon

All my Shinies were caught in Alpha Sapphire
Medicham on Victory Road, by chance
Feebas, evolved to Milotic, hunted for about an hour
Eevee, hunted for about 10 minutes (after spending days trying to breed one, fuck me). Still trying to decide which evo I want to go for
Zekrom, the most disappointing shiny I think I've ever seen.
And then Xerneas, Yveltal, and Raquaza, which were all events.

>encounter shiny abra yesterday
>mfw no status moves on my current lead and Abra knows only teleport

My friend saw a shiny abra once, he threw an ultra ball, got a crit capture, and the fucker still got away.

Guessed so, welp, thanks anyway famalama

In pokemon gold I found a shiny ratata, onyx and golbat, I accidentally knocked down the ratata but I caught the other two and evolved them, I was the coolest kid in the block for about a week. As for the other games I didn't find anything worth of note, I've gotten several shinnies through wonder trade but I can't help but suspect they are hacked because they have six iv's their hidden ability and 6IVs, but then again what do I know I can only bred 5IV pokemon.

Holy fuck that took longer than it needed to. But here it is. My complete list of shinies. Been doing this for a while now, and i intend to keep going in sun/moon. I wonder what shiny alolan forms look like?
My personal list consists of 4th gen pokeradar chain shinies, 5th gen gift shinies, 6th gen fish chain shinies, a trade from a thread on /vp/ and the odd random encounter/scripted encounter.

Noteworthy shinies i've gotten in the past:
