Oh, you too?
Well done!

so you use the masuda method then to get yours? D:

No way! I use shall we say, more instant methods to obtain them. Even boosting the odds of hatching a shiny via the Masuda method, it's still a pain. Look at the odds before that. 1/8000?! You probably didn't even encounter that many Pokemon throughout the entire series of the game! Even having the odds lowered to roughly 1/1200 it's still incredibly taxing.

Sorry but I'm far too impatient to mess about breeding and never getting one. If they made the odds say 1/250 then that's much more fair and that way, every player would find one.

I don't promote hacks by the way. Just so you know!

I only ever found one a shiny graveler... which then used self-destruct :[

@Tsuchiya: The low odds are the reason they're bragworthy.
If they were easy to find, no one would care about them.

Still soft resetting Heartgold. I do believe I'm up to around 400 soft resets. On White 2 I haven't traded for any shinies lately. I did have two shiny Torterra's that are female but traded one for a Smeargle since I didn't have it yet. That was probably my worst trade.

True but again, I'm far too impatient and the odds are silly.

I caught a shiny Grimer in Fire Red. Thats it...

I mean I'm sorry to hear that.

Litwick, herdier, Gigalith(found as Boldore), Golem(Breed), Dratini(fishing), Haxorus(in-game event), Gible(in-game event).

I was just breeding my DW Conkeldurr to get a bunch of Iron Fist Timburr, untill this one pop out.

Sadly it didn't get Iron Fist, but Sheer Force isn't too bad, slap a Life Orb on it, and it can take advantage of Sheer Force and recoil-less Life Orb boost to power its elemental punches.

If you complete the nationaldex in b2 w2 you'll get a shiny charm which increases the odds of finding a shiny drastically. I've found my first shiny on white 2 with it which is shiny Regigigas that I got after about 87 soft resets.

In Fire Red,I was breeding for elekid with good egg moves,until a shiny elekid pops out...thankfully,it had good egg moves as well as being shiny

none but I have a geodude and a foreign ditto mating and have over 4 boxes full of their offspring. And then I gave up on it.
I want a gold geodude more than anything!!!

Guess who caught a shiny Entei in soulsilver :3

found a shiny ho-oh in HG but did not want it XD

i did have a shiny cobalion (after 10,000 soft resets) but i traded it for a shiny Suicune

I have so many shinys. Right now i am looking for a shiny pawniard.

hatched a shiny mudkip a few minuites ago

Congrats he is one my masuda method hatch list.
