    How lucky have you guys been with shinies so far? Seems like they're pretty dang rare! You guys know the story about my Chikorita so...

    I have never seen a shiny, although right now I'm hiding the catcher as I need to gather up points for more Pokeballs..

    No shiny since the rush, which is just typical my luck really.

    I somehow have two shiny specimens (Magnemite and Skarmory).
    Two.

    If I ever start looking for another particularly rare species again, it's going to become three, because the things that I'm not looking for are the things that actually show up. Remember it took me almost a month to find a Mewtwo since it was discovered, and I managed to find pretty much everything except that before I did.

    My luck with shiny encounters impresses even me. I mean, I have 5 shinies here on LV, and a box-and-a-half of shinies on my main Sun file (about half of them were from events though). I have so many shiny Pokémon, I have no idea what to do with them all. X'D

    My shiny luck is unusual....

    I do have a couple here (6? I think) and quite a lot on my Moon file, but that's because I am determined to get them even if my luck is cruddy sometimes. For example, I've been browsing the forum a lot and haven't seen a single shiny for quite a while... but when I did see them, I ended up catching two of them in one day. xD The first two were both on 8/20, third on 9/11, fourth and fifth on 9/12, and my sixth on 9/17. For the rest of September and the entire Month of October I had no luck... but with my weird luck I might find a couple within a close span again after a long time of never finding any just like in the games.

    I've found one my entire time here post-easy-rate: that being a Ratatta. I mean its better then none- I kindof wish it wasn't just normal type because training it is redundant because of my Tauros. But I can't complain

    I haven't found a shiny yet. How weird would it be to find one on this thread?

    I have zero luck with shinies or anything like them. If I search for an Azelf, I might find a Beast - after over 200 refreshes. If I look for Spoopy Pikachu, I show up with nothing. Finding a shiny? Pretty much impossible. Ah well, I'll keep trying . . . ?

    I have pretty bad encounter luck but I was still able to find a Shiny. One will come in time- Just always be armed with 'balls so you can catch it

    Still yet to encounter the following rare Pokémon and shinies: ANY Shiny Pokémon, Mewtwo, Missigno., Azelf, Snorlax, Legendary Beasts. I'm most excited to catch or encounter a shiny though cause I really want one!

    Snorlax you can find in the Lounge, though it's extremely elusive for whatever weird reason. I only found a few yesterday, and that was the first time I'd seen then in months.
    I don't think Snorlax is as rare as a Shiny species, though. That one you just have to cross your fingers and hope the separate roll goes in your favour.

    when it comes to shinies, I often feel like that this line from a song sums it up pretty well: "If it weren't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all." lol

    it seems like my luck is garbage with shinies in general so rip.

    maybe next event when shiny rates are boosted!

    I've been fairly lucky with shinies on here so far. Got three of them without any help from shiny boosts.
