Yes, it looks like this according to Serebii

Serebii also has shiny Yveltal and Xerneas and they can't be obtained legally. Everything has a shiny sprite to prevent the game killing itself if someone cheats, doesn't mean they are in the game itself.

Do you have any Shiny Pokémon? Did you chain them or did you get them off trades? Which ones did you get?

Discuss the Shinies!

i have a load Charizard, Chansey, Blastoice, Alacizam, Venisor. Are among the more rare of what i have.

I could list them all but that would take hours.

beaner09 · 21-07-2014 11:48am

Seen my first shiny (Poliwhirl) while chain fishing yesterday, I tried to weaken it, but it used belly drum before my attack, so it fainted when I attacked! :-(

Second shiny (again Poliwhirl) I seen I caught with a quick ball [no idea why I didn't do that the first time, must of panicked].

Third shiny was again Poliwhirl with a quick ball!

My highest chain was 61, but I don't know whether the chain resets when you catch a shiny, so it was either 3 in 61 or 3 in under roughly 183 goes!

Anyway I now have 2 shiny green Poliwraths!

Sidenote: I also have a shiny Honchkrow I got in a trade (for one of my many non shiny Claydols) and a shiny Latios which I think is hacked!

I never go into grass without my lv 100 Farfetch'd with False Swipe. Made that mistake once!

I have an ultimate catcher in mind, just haven't made it yet.

beaner09 · 21-07-2014 5:32pm

Update: Just got a shiny Tropius using the Masuda Method for the first time after only 4 eggs, and I wasn't actually trying!!

Needed a male Tropius lvl 1-10 to trade for something on the GTS, quickly put my Tropius and foreign Ditto (as it was the nearest/because of Masuda Method) into the Daycare and I got a shiny on the 4th of 5 eggs!

Let's hope I'm that lucky when I intentionally set out using the Masuda Method for the shiny Pokemon I want!

GraphicGaming · 22-07-2014 4:08pm

I have a youtube video of the pokemon cards that i have if you would like to see pm me and il send you the link. but contains Chansey Charizard others too many to list.

raze_them_all_ · 31-08-2014 2:00am

The woman is havng her revenge on me and is spitting out shinies like crazy, this is what she has lately

Deranged96 · 06-09-2014 10:31am

Got a shiny gastly from MM

Soooooo happy with myself, been working on it for a while.
Modest/31 SpAtk/31 Speed
I'm a nickname him Spectre

Don't think I'll bother with my next target (ekans) because of this bloody LC year

Angron · 19-10-2014 11:57pm

Got my first ever egg shiny today. Was breeding some Bagon to get a nice Salamence to use for battle, and my 5th egg popped out a shiny

Tomo.Murphy · 20-10-2014 3:24pm

Just got the first shiny Pokemon that I can remember having. Shiny (mega) Gengar.

If you want to get one, write to some of the GAME branches on Twitter (don't bother with the main Game twitter page, I'm pretty sure I was ignored there, ha). I wrote to Game in Leicester asking if they had a spare code, they followed me and sent one no problem.

Angron · 28-12-2014 2:29am

Bought a copy of Alpha Sapphire today, was breeding a few pokémon on Ruby to start my game, and about 20 eggs in, up pops this guy: 10881763_10152959059548584_494707374099799544_n.jpg?oh=60bb0a762780a25fc218b500cc5a08b1&oe=54FA19EA

Double post, just caught a shiny Wartortle in my Y game

Jen Pigs Fly · 04-01-2015 12:39am

Never caught a shiny in my life! No matter how many I encounter.
Got a shiny groundon in a wonder trade on X though, was a nice surprise!

Sad times

Shiny charm?
I get so bored of chain fishing! I did spend three (real life) day on mirage islands catching Audinos for wonder trade, filled up five boxes of them and not including the ones I battled for xp not a single shiny!

I have shiny bad luck

complete the dex and you get one makes shiney everything easier

Angron · 04-01-2015 3:17pm

Another one, just hatched a shiny Chimchar

Don't think I've ever completed a dex since crystal :rolleyes:
I'll try to avoid restarting in a. Sapphire and see how well I do, I don't know anyone in "real life" let's say who plays pokemon so I depend on wonder trade and the global trade

there is a trade thread on this board

Oh cool! To be honest,I've never been on this forum before, never though to look really, I'll definitely take advantage of the trade forum, got stuck doing X when I hit a wall through online trading and couldn't get any of the rarer pokemon such as the Regis etc

raze_them_all_ · 04-01-2015 11:55pm

regis are all in this game!

Really? Gosh I feel like such a novice at pokemon

gnfnrhead · 07-01-2015 6:17pm

I haven't checked but it feels like every non event Pokémon is available between X, Y, AS and OR. If you have all four, you should be able to get everything bar the likes of Mew and Darkrai. Due to that, the Pokédex is probably the easiest it has been since Gen 2. Living Pokédex is the challenge now and even that is very doable.

A living shiny Pokédex would be some achievement.

Living pokédex is very doable these days despite the amount of them. A shiny living dex would be cool but legitimately impossible due to some pokémon like victini being programmed to never be shiny.

Angron · 30-01-2015 3:31pm

Banjo · 30-01-2015 4:39pm

The only ones I can remember are
Pelliper - wild catch SS
an Unown - wild catch Black 2 I think.
Oddish - Safari catch, somewhere in Gen 4 or 5
Chikorita - bred, SS or Black

I'm not counting events (like the recent Beldum and Gengar) or ones that the game hands to you (like Red Gyrados and a few NPC trades), or the clearly dodgy ones I've gotten off GTS by giving their original owners some fairly dodgymon of my own

Aeternum · 01-02-2015 9:11pm

Caught my first ever shiny in AS - a shiny Aron, he's now an Aggron. Got a few through wonder trade before but never caught my own.

Angron · 08-03-2015 2:16pm

So I have a large enough amount of shinies now, but these are some of the picks:

Currently attempting to breed a shiny Pawniard, I'm some 8 boxes in and nothing as of yet. Still, both parents are 6IV so it should be a good one when it comes along.

jimmy180sx · 08-03-2015 5:26pm

Hi way out of date when it comes to pokemon, but just found my full original card collection with a few shiney card. Probably not what you guys are discussing but wanted to share;

So i have
Charizard
Venusaur
Blastoise
Pidgeot
Raichu
Nidoqueen
Nidoking
Clefairy
Ninetails
Vileplume
Polywrath
Alakazam
Machamp

Chansey
Kangaskan
Pinsir
Gyarados
Lapras
Vaporeon
Jolteon
Flareon
Aerodactyl
Zapdos
Mewtwo
Dark alakazam
Dark vilplume
Dark golbat
some kind of shiney mew that seems to have came out when the original movie came out.

These have been sitting in a draw for for at least 15 years

Lord TSC · 19-03-2015 10:32pm

Nearly had a heart attack when this guy popped up this evening while flying round Mirage Spots....

Breed hundreds of eggs to get shinies (Did it for Hydreigon and Bisharp). Breeding a Vulpix with its HA for a friend, and I get a damned shiny 10 eggs in. Why can't I do it that easily when I'm actually hunting for a shiny?

You're lucky! Shiny Nintales is a beauty! Mine is my prized shiny!

Angron · 28-03-2015 3:05pm

Yeah, it's a cool looking shiny, I just wish I could get something that easy when I actually try for a shiny.

Angron · 07-04-2015 2:03pm

So, doing some EV training, and I got a wild shiny encounter. Clearly this is one of the most wanted pokemon ever, for I got... A shiny. Fecking. Wurmple.

Redzer7 · 02-05-2015 1:04pm

Got a shiny spirtomb whilst wonder trading, delighted with that my first shiny :-)

Jason2379 · 25-06-2015 12:23am

Recently (since X & Y came out actually) I've been fairly obsessed with shiny Pokemon. Like, I've always known they were rare and when I first encountered my shiny Swinub I was really excited.

But for some reason I almost forgot about randomly catching a shiny bloody Dratini in HeartGold. Why I didn't freak out more at the time I'll never know.

Since then the only shiny I've come across (minus chain fishing and the Masuda method) was a Mienshao on a Black rom. Kinda raging I couldn't keep that one

Angron · 25-06-2015 4:29pm

Meant to post here, but I forgot about them since my 3DS broke and is off being repaired at the mo.

Hatched two shinies recently, a second shiny Bagon (making it my third shiny Bagon/Salamence overall), and a shiny Larvesta. Still no luck hatching myself a shiny Crawdaunt, something I'd been attempting on and off for the last few months.

bkrangle · 21-08-2015 11:25am

Anyone get the shiny Rayquaza from Smyth's?

They're meant to be giving out free codes for the next couple of weeks

Is that not Germany only or are they doing it here too?

beaner09 · 22-08-2015 1:06am

It's in the UK Smyths (24th), not sure if the Irish one will bother though!

HelenBaby · 22-08-2015 2:30am

Never once encountered a Shiney in the wild in all my years and years of playing Pokémon. I have amassed quite a collection through, er, other means however (which totally didn't involve inserting event Pokémon into savefiles using Pokésav, honest! Hehe)

It'd be pretty disappointing if we didn't tbh. I can understand game events because we don't have the stores here but there's really no excuse for smyths not to offer the event here.

bkrangle · 22-08-2015 1:18pm

I'll call into the Jervis St. branch next week I guess.

Hopefully they'll have it
