What method of shiny hunting do you prefer?

I honestly don't really care for the actual hunting side for shinies. I don't actively hunt shiny Pokémon. I've done the shiny chain fishing once and that was a nice surprise to get one on the fourth chain, and I got one randomly in the Friend Safari, but otherwise, nope.

My favourite part of shiny Pokémon is, rather than actively hunt them using the friend safari and the like, I just roam around and maybe run into one.

 

I like chaining water Pokémon 'cus it's just so easy and fun~
Other than that, I prefer to "hunt" for shinies through wonder trade. uwu

 

I don't actively hunt for shinies, but rather let them run into me on their own accord - aka random encounters. I feel that it makes the shiny Pokémon even more valuable, plus the thrill of randomly bumping into one when you least expect it is indescribable. I've tried chaining before, but I've never had any luck as my chains always break for no apparent reasons.

 

The only time I seemed to find any success in hunting for shinnies is when I used the Masuda method, so I guess it's breeding for me. Or else hacking.

 

I prefer chaining, mainly because I suck at every other form. I've caught all of my shinies this way. I only ever had real trouble once, and that's because the Pokémon was really slippery.

 

I've tried every single method of shiny hunting, and I don't really have a preference! I find random encounters and soft-resetting to be the most fun, but I also like to breed and chain for them on occasion. It really depends on my mood at the time, I like all the methods used to find shinies!

 

I haven't done much shiny hunting but I did manage to breed a shiny Trapinch which is my favourite dragon type~

 

Ugh, I despise breeding.
The only shiny I got from Masudkya Method was an accidental Omanyte while I was breeding for Wonder Trade Wednesday. Last time I tried was Staryu, and I gave up after over 500 eggs.
But I think most of my self-caught shinies came from the Friend Safari.

 

I prefer the Masuda Method, Horde Hunting and using the Dexnav. Although I haven't had any luck finding a shiny through the dexnav it is the one I prefer the most followed by horde hunting and the masuda method. So far I've only managed to find a Shiny Zubat - by accident - through the hordes and that's when I found out that there was an actual method to finding Pokémon through hordes. The most success I've had is the Masuda Method; my first hatched shiny was in Pokémon Black and it was a Shiny Zorua; I spent so many days and hours hatching eggs and was in disbelief when I managed to finally hatch it.

But I also enjoy the random encounters which always cause me to freak out since I don't actually believe it's happening XD And then I set up trades - mostly though facebook - for shiny Pokémon by trading Pokémon with their hidden abilities (thanks Friend Safaris!)

 

Masuda method is more reliable for natures and IV's, so I like that method better than shiny chaining. I did shiny chain quite well in X and Y but in ORAS it's a little harder for me.

 

Breeding, of course! I mean, I've never successfully managed to Masuda something, but it's still my favourite method. Much more choice involved.

 

Well, I've been trying several methods to find Shiny Pokémon but it didn't work out, so I prefer to try to find the shiny Pokémon just by some random encounters and all. Even though I got my shiny Plusle in Alpha Sapphire thanks to DexNav, I was not thinking of chaining with DexNav in the first place that time (was in the middle of training Kyogre and having interest in shaking grass), so I count it as a lucky shot.

 

I prefer breeding, because there's something very satisfying about getting a shiny that you've wanted for a long time with good moves and iv's haha.

 

Masuda Method. Mainly because you can influence the Pokémon you get in result to be whatever you wish for it to be. (Egg moves, Iv's, nature, etc.)

It takes a while, but I think it's better than getting a shiny Pokémon that you will never use because of its stats and everything. I don't think anyone wants a Pokémon that just sits there and looks pretty.
