Look At What I Chained - Mark II

Not open for further replies.
Hiya all, first post here - been lurking for a while now.
Decided to try some chaining for myself last night. Highest I got was 26, but every time I broke the chain I knew what I did wrong. It was also nearing 2AM, decided to start at 1. :P

Would just like to thank you guys for an awesome guide, now that I see how it can be done I should have some shinies in no time. :D
 
Welcome!

(Hayley <3) :nerd:

Well, finally got my Machop chain up to 40, started last night. Got first chain to 37, and it broke. Was a perfect patch, but hey ho, I started again and got to 40. I started resetting this morning now on around 46 with 6 shinies. I'm going for a Adamant No Guard 'chop. Will post IV's of the best one's when I'm done :)

crap.
Chain broke on after around 10 shinies. Adamant worked a grand total of 3 times, two of which had Guts!
The one Adamant no-guarder was terrible, but a Naughty no-guarder was a bit better.
Pah!

In fact; here is the best one: (possibly for personal-use Choice Band set, and I would have to find someone to Plat tutor it for me :( )

I did my first "proper" chain today (which I regard as not having to use swarming pokemon or others with really high encounter rates that can be somewhat fluked) in Eterna Forest of all places and got myself three shiny Kakuna with unusable natures. Hoorah!
 
Heehee. Been catching Ditto's all night, for good IV parents. Probably the most useless shinie ever, but adds to the coolness factor. Caught something like 80 ditto's in total, 10 and counting are shiny. Havn't IV checked them yet, and I'm dreading it, its a whole lot to sift through :)

Drat, you used Net Balls, and not Dive Balls... oh well. :(

Which makes it all the more cool. :D Then again, Dive Balls are one of my favorites. Difficult to import many of, and available for purchase in only one of the third gen's cities, it's the rarest purchasable Ball, now that Luxury Balls are easy as pie to get in fourth gen.
 
Wow

just IV checked em all. Being the idiot that I am, I released the terrible IV ditto's I caught in Dive Balls, and I only had three, sorry lorak! :(

but then this beauty popped up;

Wow. I actually can't believe it. I thought I was lucky with my Nido/Bellsprout chain, but thats ridiculous!
yey!

And this one as well;

^ The rest of my better results from last nights Ditto Mania.
I also have half a box full of mono-flawless one's but they aren't really worth posting :)


Oh, and haha, I bring you the first ever(?) Special Machamp!

Haha!
 
See I really like shiny ditto, and was actually thinking of doing the same thing. A shiny ditto is effectively a shiny anything.
 
Ah. Pants. Well that's that plan out the window.

Edit: What would be the best looking ball for a shiny pineco/forretress?
 
So Lickitung was my swarm yesterday, and I set out to capture one of these pink beasts. 5 pokemon into my chain, and this little beauty popped up!

Lickitung - #108 (Adamant)
HP: 31
Att: 27 - 28
Def: 25 - 27
SpA: 19 - 21
SpD: 14 - 16
Speed: 18 - 20
 
Dang thats one good altaria. I think im going to chain some eevee, jolteons look awesome shiny :)
What would the best nature be if i am going to use the jolteon for a double's rain dance team? Im guessing timid, although a - Def Or SpD nature might be better since i plan on using a focus sash for it.
 
Unless you're also giving it a physical attack, that's not a good idea. Either you survive because of your sash, or you survive but your sash doesn't get activated. Might as well have timid to survive 3 -6 Shuckle's Knock Offs. =P

Timid #229 Houndoom: 20 - 23 / 25 - 28 / 9 - 13 / 31 / 10 - 13 / 6 - 9
Dive Ball (100% catch rate used :x)

Meh. Could be worse for first shiny.

And I'm using 100% catch rate because yesterday my chain was roared to pieces by shiny #1, and I'm lazy. :x
 
Hey everyone, this is my first post in this thread, but I'm definitely not a newbie to shiny hunting. I'm currently in the middle of a Nincada hunt, and I've got 5 shinies already! I've been using Quick Balls, but if anyone has suggestions on different balls to use for Shiny Ninjask, I'd appreciate it. Even better if someone knows a link to the different ball-opening animations. :P

Any suggestions? Obviously Glaceon (Timid) and Flareon (Modest) are a little neglected, but you can't win 'em all.
