It has been more than two years since my last post in this thread, time for an update.
Here are all the random shinies I have found since then. This time, I'm listing them in the order I obtained them in rather than going by game.
October 2014:
- A shiny Volbeat I met while training my post-game team.
January 2015:
- A shiny Bibarel in my extra copy of Platinum. I was playing through the game for the first time, looking for a Male Ralts that I wanted to use on my team. Along the way, I ran into this. Memorable because it is one of 3 random shinies I have found on 4th Gen.
- A shiny Wingull in a Horde on X while looking for berry trees.
- A shiny Throh from a Friend Safari in X while I was looking for a Female Riolu.
- A shiny Mareep in a Horde on Y.
Four shinies in just one month was very unexpected, but the year didn't end there.
June 2015:
- A shiny Azumarill on X while I was looking for another Azumarill to use for breeding purposes.
- A shiny Drifloon on X while I was training my online team.
September 2015:
- A shiny Geodude on Platinum (this time, my main file). My third random shiny on Gen 4.
April 2016:
- A shiny Drilbur on Alpha Sapphire. Got it while doing some breeding for Pokedex purposes. Memorable because it is the second random shiny I have hatched from an egg. I didn't have the Shiny Charm at this point, and I was not using international parents either.
August 2016:
- A shiny Marill in a Horde on Alpha Sapphire. Now I had the Shiny Charm.
- A shiny Tentacruel on Alpha Sapphire. Happened the day after I found the Marill. It was using the DexNav, but it wasn't a "chain" since it was the very first encounter.
November 2016:
- A shiny Oddish in a Horde on Omega Ruby. With it, I have found at least one random shiny in all of my 6th Gen games, which made me happy.
All in all, that's a total of 12 random shinies in slightly more than 2 years, bringing the total number of random shinies I have found to 32/33, 30 which I got to keep. Which is a bit weird since I don't actively hunt for shinies and yet there are others here who have played for as long as me and have only enountered one or a few shinies.
