Bad Luck You've Had So Far
- Thread starter skies
- Start date
I have 500+ hours gameplay, and my two shinies are a Caterpie and a Basculin. I've probably hatched 1200+ eggs (a lot of masuda in there), and have hatched no shiny eggs.
I was running around not paying attention to my screen when I ran into a shiny RoggenRolla. I hit run before I noticed it was shiny.
I chose Chespin as my starter, it gets killed by everything. I still love the little guy tho lol.

Why are you guys disappointed about not finding a shiny in 100 hours?
I've definitely had a total of over 1000 hours in all of my games combined, and still no wild shiny. At all.
This is making me really depressed.

There, there. I know how you feel. I've been playing since Gen 1, and last month I FINALLY encountered my first shiny. So, I totally know how you feel.
Keep your chin up. Good things can happen unexpectedly :)
i have had miserable luck with breeding, but that's about it
I was breeding for a good Torchic with Speed Boost and then I got one that was a female with perfect Attack, Defense, and Special Attack, so it could replace the female I was using with no perfect IVs. There was just one problem, though. The torchic had Blaze.
So it has a bad competitive ability, and it is a female so it can't pass down IVs to pokemon of other species.

Because we're talking about X&Y exclusively, where even with the rate of shinies increased.
I'm on 170 hours and still no shiny. Haven't cared much to continually find someone to check egg SVs with, though.
At least it's not like getting THREE Modest Geodudes in the same Nuzlocke run...*flips table*.
I've had that happen in like three of my Nuzlockes so far.
I'm pretty sure you can't get rid of the Mega Stone.
Even if you can you just get it back after the battle anyways.
I don't know, I didn't hang around long enough to check. I reset almost immediately.
I started breeding for a rotom with a x/x/31/31/31/31 rotom and 31/x/x/31/x/31 ditto as parents. It took me 5 hours to get a 31/0/31/31/31/31 rotom, with every egg before it having 4IVs.
Now I'm breeding hasty/naive rough skin gibles, with a x/31/31/x/31/31 (docile!) mother and x/31/31/31/31/31 naive father. I'm trying to get the nature I want by luck, and then aim for the 6 IVs as I keep replacing the mother with better females. After two hours I've yet to see a hasty/naive natured male OR female gible, and the only 5IV I've hatched is an impish x/31/31/31/31/31 female with sand veil.

Irony is getting me. I didn't need a perfect IV Marill, but I got one with Thick Fat. I didn't need my Gible to be perfect, but it did that with a four and five IV parent set producing eggs.
I do need a perfect Larvitar for my soon-to-be team. I've got two five IV parents breeding, every IV covered, and I'm just over one hundred eggs in on that project. Of course.

Been on a shiny hunt for a shiny Sneasel for a few days via Friend Safari... up to 3 of them have them in it. So far, no luck. Not giving up on it though, but I swear the little twerps are trolling me or something -_-.
Me: "Oh I got a 4 IV Larvitar from Wonder Trade. Can't take that long to get a 5 IV one right?"
It. Took. Three. Days. And two full PC boxes. At least I got stuff like Protean Froakie and a 4 IV Mawile by trading them away.
Also GameFreak does not want me to get anymore shinies. Chain fishing is such a bitch to me. I guess it's some revenge for chaining those 50+ Shiny Eevees in Gen 4 and trading them for random legends, lol.
