Description
Since Yin posted about her run in with a shiny, I decided to show off share my shiny catches with you guys, since I realized that anyone who isn't on my tumblr is pretty much in the dark about the stuff I get up to on my game. SO IN SHORT, I managed to get three shinies since I started o/
I got Belzelga when I was breeding Nidorans for my regular playthrough, I got Rhodes when I was running around in Petty's Friend Safari looking for breed chain materials
AND THEN THERE'S KALI.
I was running around all day trying to get a reckless starly to breed. I got one after like 6/7 hours by combing the rare as hell starly hordes, went to start breeding for IVs, and then managed to get a starly with perfect IVs in everything except sp.atk. I decided to go and breed a bunch more starly to give away to other people since I had gone through so much trouble to get an adamant reckless starly, and then out of bloody nowhere, one of them was shiny. I checked Kali's stats and it ended up having perfect IVs as well, on top of being reckless. I just thought it was fitting to name this thing after the freakin goddess of destruction, since that is pretty much reflective of its future.
dOHOHO
i also find it super fortunate that the shinies i got ended up being pokemon i really liked anyway

I've been friend safari-ing for a while now, and I got a total of 6 shines from it: 2 Noibat, a Dusclops, a Gabite, a Paras and a Sableye, not to mention the Drifloon I found in the wild. Nice finds!

That's a good line-up of shinies there!
Although it's a shame Kali isn't THE MESSIAH

Oh man, I'm so jealous of your Ivysaur. xD
And congrats on that awesome starly. <3
I've actually been pretty lucky myself as I've found over 30 shinies since I started X and Y.

And then, there are people like me. 212 hours of game time and not a shiny to my name. T_T

What would the Lumiose bug patch have to do with shinies? 0_o

What if I told you...
It wasn't just a Lumiose patch? *the most evil grin you'll EVER see in your life*

Eh, I kind of doubt that would affect shiny chances. Had around 140 hours and had bred about a dozen battle pokemon via Masuda method before the patch anyway. I just seem to be incredibly unlucky in Y (as opposed to my two in a row shiny encounter back in Leaf Green... >.>). Just the other day I lost a battle because the opponent froze literally half my team. With Ice Beam. Yeah. ._.
Even if the patch somehow does affect my chances of encountering a shiny, I wouldn't mind. I'd much prefer a bug-less game over a differently colored pokemon I more than likely would never be able to actually use.
