The Union Room - For general chatting about Pokémon!

I've three successful shiny hunts two sos and one egg farming

 

Masuda method is something that I'm... iffy on personally because it requires a lot more patience I think but it's doable.

 

It is good if you want a better shiny Pokémon, even though I only got a one IV shiny Fletchling out of it but I got some good 5 IV Fletchlings out of it too.

 

oh I know; I've been breeding 6IV Beldums for a while like months ago in the hopes of getting a shiny and while I did get one, it turns out it was the wrong nature. =c

 

Ouch, I have a shiny Metagross on Omega Ruby.

 

I think that I have a box and a half full of shiny Pokémon in my USUM game. idk how many are legit but personally I don't care

 

Pff yeah, I only have like two or three shinies. Metagross and Dusclops are the only two I can think of off the top of my head.

 

I think my newest additions are shiny Deoxys, shiny rockenrola (I may have misspelled that and I am sorry), and shiny Dialga

 

I’ve never gotten a shiny before, unless it’s Pokémon Go. I only play the games to beat the gyms and finish the story.

 

But what about the shiny gyrados in the Johto region?
It's a shame that you haven't gotten a shiny before, but it does look pretty nice. Like a novelty really.

 

You can get shiny Pokémon in Pokémon go???

 

I’ve only played FRLG and RS. I’m considering getting HGSS on my emulator, though I’m only going to get busier as I advance through high school, so the progress would be a lot slower.

Yes, but they’re insanely common.

 

Fascinating...But what is the point of shinies if they are common?

 

They’re only exclusive to certain Pokémon, and some are temporary.

 

yeah I feel like getting a shiny in Go (unless it's a legendary raid or something) isn't really impressive considering everyone and their mom has some sort of shiny...

 

I feel like you should put some kind of time and effort to get a shiny.

 

yeah, that's why I feel like I'm not impressed anymore whenever someone gets a shiny in Go cause chances are like million other people have that shiny without even trying so it's not like.... anything big anymore.

 

Is there some type of achievement for getting a shiny in those types of Pokémon games?

 

Not sure, really. I haven't touched Go in quite a while because I don't really care enough to travel an hour and a half just for pokestops.

 

I've got a couple of pokestops around here (I only know this cause I watched someone play Pokémon Go) and I could just walk there.
