Gaming X and Y Shiny Pokemon.

maybe you just had luck finding a shiny? you dont have to chain shiny you know. I have tried that fishing method the whole day in different ways without any luck. and I have 7 boxes filled with non shiny Eevees.. And a box with two shiny pokemon that I just stumbled over while not looking for shiny.. Im not saying that your method doesnt increse the odds.. Im just asking how you cant be absolutely sure Heck I dont think that anyone actually can verify that everything works exactly the same as in earlier generations yes.

I found a shiny Fearow in Pokemon Leafgreen when I had it. 2 days ago, I can't believe it but I got a shiny Graveler in Victory road in Pokemon X with a quick ball. It is currently untouched and about level 50 something. I can't believe I've already caught a shiny this early in the game's release.

Hatched a Fennekin that was shiny. First egg, and a complete accident. I wasn't even hatching for a shiny!

 

[DSoryu]

GOT MY FIRST , using the fishing chain method:

 

[pokefloote]

Okay, so the Friend Safari just HAS to have increased odds of finding a shiny. I found a shiny ditto yesterday, and now

Spoiler

Shiny Togepi. I just decided that I wanted a shiny flinchhax togekiss, and I went into someone's safari that had togepi and found it after 10 minutes of running away from battles.

Got my first shiny using the fish chaining method! I absolutely love relicanth so im not complaining!

I've gotten 6 shinnies right now, hatching I still find is the best way.

Dude, I'm not the only one, and even Serebii confirms it. You're the unlucky one. That, or you're doing something terribly wrong.

 

[Master Xehanort]

Welp. My first two shinies in 1 day. This one i caught in less than 5minutes

 

[broitsak]

Caught a shiny Ninetales.

 

[ChrisX930]

I got this <3
OT= Me!

My Shiny Sylveon <3
I love it so much!

 

[pokefloote]

Just caught a shiny magmar and charmeleon not 5 minutes apart. This is ridiculous!

The perfect IVs on the Charmeleon are Sp.Atk and Speed. I'm dying. Nature is neutral though.

Yesterday I got my second Shiny Pokemon ever, a Magikarp thanks to the chain-fishing. Damn, that Shiny Mega Gyarados looks cool. My first ever Shiny was a Pidgey in Pokemon Gold (not gonna count the story Gyarados in the lake, since everybody can get that).

 

[Heavy01]

Got a shiny noibat in friend safari, now I have two shinies, inkay and noibat. Also got a shiny starmie, but chain fishing shinies are worthless now.

 

[Mike19]

I've never had a shiny before and my first just happened to be an awesome colored Chespin.
I'd say its colour scheme is better than the original.

 

[hhs]

finally got my first shiny yesterday. Skrelp. Going on my poison gym team.

Shiny horsea, caught with the shiny fishing method!

I was at the far left corner of Cyallage city, and fishing from the shore. It took less than 30 reels to pull it in.

(Was using a inkay with suction cups and smoke ball. Ran from every battle.)

I have filled all 15 boxes with charmanders, after 20 hours of breeding.....not a single shiny. I have to release them all, and start over.... Why are there so few boxes in this game? My SS has almost 30

 

[Queno138]

I feel sad that my first shiny in X&Y is a Farfetch'd (which I almost couldn't tell the difference, if it wasn't for the sparkles).
I got it from Friend Safari too.

I really think the chances there are higher..

Because they want to force us to use Pokebank. It's not fair to have so few boxes.
