EggtasticTaco Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 So I've heard that the shiny rate in X and Y was changed, as well as tipping the NPCs increasing shiny rate. Anyone got confirmation on this? Also, anyone caught a shiny Pokemon yet? I haven't. Ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khayoz Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Haven't seen one either. It may have increased, but maybe not as much as you think, since, like, EVERYONE (almost) is playing the game at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EggtasticTaco Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share Posted October 19, 2013 I've actually heard that the rate decreased, so I dunno what's going on right now. I've been trying with the Pokeradar. Sadly, you can't use it in super tall grass (shiny honedge plz). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico Nico Nii~ Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I caught me a shiny yanma last night in a herd of them. Sure it's Brave w/ Compound Eyes but its still shiny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Caught my first shiny in Y last night as well, a volbeat. I was randomly checking the tall grass for pokemon I hadn't caught before and it showed up. I almost didn't pay attention to the little sparkle animation, which was the only way I would have known it was shiny (idgaf about volbeats). I've logged in a lot less time than I have in previous games but that already meets or exceeds my record for non-event shinys in a game.

Magus Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I've seen a shiny Geodude, in a horde battle, but the one next to it killed it with magnitude..... Team killing noob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico Nico Nii~ Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I've seen a shiny Geodude, in a horde battle, but the one next to it killed it with magnitude..... Team killing noob My friend literally had the same situation but with Gravelers instead, and lucky him he caught that graveler. Also worth mentioning it was his first ever shiny that I helped evolved into a shiny Golem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Got a shiny Lickitung in a horde as well as a clauncher on its own. I tip generously if that helps fan the fire a bit haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapphire Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I've got, 2 shiny Clawitzer [one was traded for a Shiny Skrelp], a shiny Clauncher, a shiny Gyarados, a shiny Togepi, a shiny Stunfisk, and a shiny Relicanth. Sadly, all tipping does is give you a medal, it doesn't increase the shiny rate. And I'm guessing we all know about consecutive fishing by now right? There is no evidence of the shiny rate being increased in the normal game either, though it's thought to be higher in the friend safari.

Chrattac Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I found a shiny Whismur in a horde while EV training but I noticed it after I had already chosen EQ them all to the oblivion. :-E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapphire Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Do shinys still get the normal shiny animation when they appear in a horde? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico Nico Nii~ Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Do shinys still get the normal shiny animation when they appear in a horde? Yep they still do. Also found a shiny octillery and corsola fishing. Currently trying to get a shiny mawile from eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapphire Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Damn. I spent ages trying to get a Corsola, and all I got was suction cups failing me after 51 fishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico Nico Nii~ Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 So I was trying to fish for a shiny gyarados or sharpedo and accidentally used the old rod instead and ended up getting a shiny magikarp. It was also in a chain of 7. And I also caught a shiny scraggy last night while ev training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapphire Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Would that Shiny Scraggy [or any other shinys for that matter] be for trade? I can breed any mon currently in the game, and have a spare Xerneas and Yveltal to trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Summer Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 We should exclude intentional shinies from this thread. >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeleton Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I have a shiny Delphox, Alakazam, Relicanth, Gligar, Pansage, Clauncher and Pumpkaboo. I got the Delphox after 7 eggs. The Pumpkaboo took about 4 boxes according to Chrona because he gave it to me for halloween. Gligar, Alakazam and Pansage were just random. I found the Pansage today, it was in your friend safari Secundum. >> Clauncher and Relicanth were the fishing method. I had 2 Clauncher but I traded one to Secundum. I'm currently hunting for a Magikarp and Luvdisc. Might wanna try using the pokeradar for a Budew or Eevee. Also now I'm talking about shinies, Chrona got quite a few too. I think he has Pawniard, Durant, Lunatone, Whismur and Hippopotas. I know he was trying for a Honedge but he still got nothing after 11 boxes which is a lot.

Sapphire Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Is that shiny Delphox for trade? Also, does anyone know if we can release lots of pokes at once? I only have 3 boxes left to put failed breeding stock in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AveMatic Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I caught a shiny Duosion in the Friend Safari, but it was a bashful nature and boo boo IVs so I traded it to Shofu (a Pokémon YouTuber) for a Mawile with 3 very helpful Flawless IVs.

Dezae077 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 (edited) I had found this awesome shiny a while back. But in my sleep deprived stupor, I restarted my game and forgot to trade it away first... I still hate myself for that...

Administrators Ikaru Posted November 15, 2013 Administrators Share Posted November 15, 2013 I actually found a shiny Ariados in Terminus Cave since I got hardcore lost and wandered around for a while there- simultaneously awesome and suckish because I love Ariados but its nature is terrible.

Maelstrom Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Found a shiny shelgon in a safari tonight. No way I'm not training that thing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
