I'm talking about the ones that you can catch fishing.
You just do that trick where you cast, run, cast run, ect until you a shiny shows up or something like that. haven't done it in a long time, but got like 5 shiny's in like a couple hours.
I had pretty much have tried all the known ways to get shiny pokemon in Y and to my recollection never came across a single one.
I've often wondered about that myself; seems like being supported by people who only want you there so the world can end in fire (with you going to Hell in the process) would be somewhat off-putting

So I'm playing Y to ease the wait and without much trouble was able to get a shiny honedge with 5 IVs trough breeding.
It's like the game is excusing itself after the fiasco that was the horsea soup.

That's some really bad luck. I come across shinies once in a while when I'm slaughtering hordes for EV training. And I slaughter a lot. Guess it just takes time.
Anyone got a spare Diancie code?

Wow congrats. Only shiny i've ever bred has been a eevee.
X/Y makes getting water pokemon shiny's easy, so no point brining those up, but did catch a shiny Golett in X. That's the only pokemon besides waters i found in X.
thanks
they are the only ones i bred. I ve been trying to get a shiny froakie for a long time and suddenly i got 2 shinies in 1 weekend.
i had an amazing breeding weekend. Bred a 5 iv shiny protean froakie and a 5iv shiny iron fist chimchar.
Shakes fist in envy
Granted I haven't even played my copy of Y in a while, having been more busy instead playing the older games… Just beat the League in Platinum the other day. Was surprised at how little trouble Cynthia gave me, until I realized that I had, without realizing it, raised up the perfect counters for her two strongest Pokemon. (That is, I fought her Garchomp with a Gyarados who knew Ice Fang, and her Milotic with a Gallade that knew Leaf Blade... For as good as those two Pokemon's type-coverage may be, they had nothing that was super-effective against Gyarados or Gallade.) So yeah, I haven't really made any further attempts to try and get that competively viable shiny Greninja I have wanted for so long lately, but still. Jealous is me. (That is, unless it's like, got a really shitty nature and its one imperfect stat is Speed... which is at 0 IVs or something.)

hehe the imperfect iv is in defense and the nature is timid :) and it knows poison spikes ^^". I think shiny charm did the work for me. Had like 300-400 eggs with failure before that.

That seems about as good as it gets to me. (I mean, the absolute ideal would be for the imperfect IV to be Attack, but hey, I'm breeding with the Hasty nature under the logic that Greninja's Defense is already crap anyway, so who cares if it goes any lower? It can't really take a super-effective physical attack regardless.)
Personally, since getting the Shiny Charm, I've been deliberately storing all the Froakies I hatch just to see how many eggs I have to go through before getting teh shinyness… So far I've got 8 boxes full. So 240 eggs so far, no luck.

True about the defense stat, but since it's super fast, with Protean, you usually switch types before the enemy attacks, and can trick them often enough to not do super effective damage and survive.
I've got Grass Knot on my Greninja and it's saved me more times than I'd like to admit in online battles, resisting both electric and grass ^^
You were gone for quite a while, Chrissie. In that time, I took up hunting for maybe a month and my collection blew up into the hundreds (with tons of repeats)! :D
Glad to see you back and getting into it once again.
Omg how many do you have in total? I am only at 64 now….
"Only" 64 shiny …

Good IV´s? Oh, i have to check if i need to clone it.
Well crap I knew there was a good reason why I remember that one, It has 31 IV on everything except defense and it has Dragon dance and dragon pulse as well with hydro pump and it has it's hidden ability but his the only one that I have because I got it on the GTS, so not that trill to trade it lol.

'Tis okay. I will still give it to you. Just give me whatever you want.

Getting a lot of Wurmples and Zigzagoon's from ORAS on the wonder trade lately, it's quite annoying. Although not much worse than Pidgeys, Caterpies, and the stupid starter apes.

I'm gonna clone the ditto for Juvar. Wait. Also, i have to update the japanese copy X.x

Man, i don't even remember how to clone xD
I got a spare 6 IV ditto if anyone is in need of one.

I can't seem to clone this thing. Can you give one to Juvar and i'll give this one to Smiley?
Yeah, no problem.

Cool, you have a fairy safari :) didn't have one of those so far!
Cool shinies you got. Can't really keep up with that, sorry :D don't have much in return. That Latias is awesome though. I was looking for one with Calm or Timid or Modest nature, GTS really sucks for that ^^

Finally I got one! Hasty Nature, perfect IVs in everything but Attack… Ideally I would have had it be Timid, but hey, that still seems rather perfectly competively viable to me. (EDIT: Oh, and looking it up on an IV calculator, it seems its Attack is either 24 or 25. So still pretty damn solid there too.)
For the record, the shiny one was egg number 305.
And just one day before the European release of ORAS too! You know, maybe I should just transfer this one over to Alpha Sapphire and have it as my designated Water-Pokemon... Or maybe going through the storyline with a Protean Greninja would make me a tad overpowered. I mean, I've already basically decided to play through the game without the Exp. Share to prevent it from being too easy (I'm assuming the Exp. Share is as overpowered there as it is in XY) so maybe giving myself a supremely awesome type-shifting ninja-frog with near perfect stats would kinda undermine that attempt at getting a decent challenge...
Well anyway, TYPE-SHIFTING BLACK AND CRIMSON NINJA-FROG WITH NEAR PERFECT STATS, AT LAST YOU ARE MINE!!!
Reached 70 shinies with a lovely Kabutops! W00t

Awesome. I'm still trying for shiny Aegislash but Greninja is also on my list 
Mine (not shiny) knows Hydro Pump, Extrasensory, Grass Knot and Ice Beam. It's amazing how many battles I've won with it. I actually got it from forum-member Haros (thanks so much again)…
A Shiny Abomasnow, Gligar, Xatu, Espurr or Snorunt to anyone who has a Panpour with Torrent I can have. I've got the other two monkey's with their Hidden Abilities and Panpour is the only one I don't have.

hehe welcome to the club :)
Reached 114 shinies tonight! Caught 4 of them (shiny Floette and swirlix have finally fallen into my paws) and traded for another shiny Treecko on the GTS which I am gonna be evolving later for the Pokedex entries since I already have one. I don't know when to stop!!! D:
My wife's X cart has disappeared, with most of the Pokemon we've collected. Needless to say I'm pretty heartbroken.

I've been bored since finishing my studying, so I thought i'd play Pokemon Y again… And I really really wanted a Noibat... But you don't get one for ages... Just wondering if someone had one that they could change me? I don't care about EVs or IVs... I just want a Noibat (Level 5 is fine). If anyone can hit me up with one that would be awesome

Sure thing. Just bred some (just found out I still didn't got a Noibat), so they are level 1.
Beware of doing that. I really wanted a Noivern for my run when I first played Y, aqs I loved the design and it was one of the first promoted monsters… so I traded around tlll I got a Noibat really early on. It stayed in my party the whole game.... unfortunately, as a dragon type, it takes forever to be any good. The stats are all pretty terrible until after it evolves, and that's not till level 48 I think... you'lll be near the end at that point. (SHortly after you can catch them in the wild.)
I love the design on Noivern and liked having it, and Noibat is cute enough, but man, did having that first form through most of the game suck.
Seriously. Its stats are 40 30 35 45 40 55. That's worse than Bidoof in every stat but speed! That's worse than Magikarp in three stats!
Noibat was not intended to be a full game monster (even though it has good moves along the way) Most dragons aren't. It was meant for you to get it at level 45, and deal with its small form for a very short period, and then get the evolution. So... be wary that its not going to kill anything and will faint...a lot.
