Hi guys, old user of the half/vp/ SHW threads.

I figured we could bring it back, but there is too few people here, and I don't want to see back the circlejerk that happened there, so here's a shiny hunting thread to test the waters here.

Want to talk about shinies you got ? To have or to give advice about how to get one poke or another ? To talk about that shiny Arceus only japs will probably have ? You're welcome.

Have some old half/vp/ pics from SHW as an introduction.

And here are some questions to begin :

>what are you hunting ?

>where ?
>what is your first shiny ?
>what is your favorite shiny ?
>what do you do while hunting ?

I have never once even seen a shiny.

It's really something I never really blamed injectfags for especially since it seems like if you're autistic enough to hunt shinies you'd also require perfect natures and IV's as well.

That said I'd love for a shiny sableye and kabutops

Well, I think blaming people for their methods of having shinies is stupid, as everyone gives its own value to shinies. Some see it as a rare event with no value outside of its rareness, some see it as a hunting trophy they want to get, and others see it as a palette swap. And none of them is right or wrong, all depends of the views of the one trying to grab them.

That being said, here are some tips to grab those, should you want to give them a try :

>Sableye - Safari Zone from XY is your best bet, but hordes on AS' Granite Cave B2F can grab you shiny Aron and Zubat too (especially Arons if you have Magnet Pull on your leader, but it'll reduce the odds of seeing Sableye)

>Kabutops - Grab lots of Dome Fossils (30 sounds like a good beginning) by farming them on Y or by giving them to you with an external tool like Powersaves. Save in front of the reviver, mash A to revive them all (they will be automatically sent to your boxes), check your boxes, reset if no shiny
>Both - If you want good stats too, breeding is needed and can give you 5IV shinies with the nature and moves required. But outside of playing them competitively, I wouldn't do that.

Sadly I dont have x/y, only yellow, pearl, and AS. Thanks for the tips though.

I look at shinies mostly as palette swaps which are nice and would like more of. Don't mind there being rare pokes that sparkle when you find them though.

You're welcome, the thread is there to help too.

I also see shinies as nice palette swaps. Sure, they don't give anything to stats, but a black and yellow Rayquaza looks better to me than a green and yellow one, and as I have the option between two colors, might as well take the one I prefer, even if that takes time.

I'll just ask about one more, being shiny magnemites/magnetons

New Mauville's hordes, with a Magnet Pull user in front of your party (it can be KO, its ability will still activate). More than half of the hordes will be Magnemite, just bring a high-level non-Steel catcher and run away from every horde until shininess happens.

Oh, and you need a Magnet Pull user ? Magnemite can have it.

Magnet pull increases the chance of magnemite horde encounters? I finally got my shiny charm today so I guess ill be camping out in new mouville with a roserade scenting up the place.
