Newest shiny story!
Been hunting Mawile for the longest (which is why I now have 2 Kirlia) and last night I literally said “this is gonna be my last encounter and then OFF TO BED! (well, off to the bathroom then bed)”. I hear the sound of a new encounter, glance at the screen and see her.
And this Abra?
(Abra ... you're Modest AND female ... I would have been so happy if you were an Espurr even thought I was trying to get a timid Espurr. But I love you anyway :3)
PS- Got the abra well trying to watch Korra. What's with Nick's site? It stops 8 mins in and wont go past that ...
Thanks for the suggestion!
Does any Non-US Gaffers have a decent breeding stud Espurr they can trade me for mming?

First thought was ” … That looks Purple =_=. Maybe it’s cause it’s night in the gaaaammmmeee (Ching sound!) …. WAAAAAAA!?!?! O_O; “
And this Abra?
I was hunting for Espurr again today and got another shiny blocked for the 2nd time by a non-Espurr Psychic Pokemon in the FS. I think I’m just gonna MM Espurr now … this is getting outta hand. D:

Well this is it guys. If I don't get a shiny Sableye today, I'm abandoning the quest. I've been breeding this stupid thing for over six days now, and have hatched well over 600 eggs. I'll settle with a non-shiny if I have to.
Wish me luck...

Good luck!
I'm assuming you're using items. Your story sounds about right for someone using Items.
If you're looking to offload a Sableye (or a even a suitable breeding pair), I'd be very interested. For trade, I have a Modest 4 IV Rotom, a Timid 4 IV Gastly, some 31 HP Imposter Dittos, and a 4 IV Aron (neutral natured).
Also: good luck!
Edit: I also still have some Trick Room-suitable Claunchers left with three IVs (counting the 0 speed that was bred onto them).

Using Items? I'm not sure what you mean. I've just been using the Masuda Method. And thanks.
Yeah, I have some you can use. And you don't need to give me anything in return. =]

Everstone and Destiny Knot
Okay. I've added you.
SkullHydra
Member
Oh, of course. Got to get that Nature and those EVs. Lol.
I added you back. Just shoot me a trade request. (Merick)
Are you saying that masuda doesn't work when using everstone and destiny knot? D:
Finally got a 5IV Venonat! Right now I have half a box full of them. If anyone wants one I'd be happy to give them away, it would make me feel better than just wonder trading them.
They're all timid, in Luxury Balls and have the ability Tinted Lens, except one that has the ability compound eye, which when it evolves becomes shield dust. They also have the egg moves Giga Drain and Batton Pass. While I plan to make mine an offensive pokemon it can work wonders as a baton passer thanks to sleep powder and Quiver Dance, though you might want to give the support version the hidden ability wonder skin instead of tinted lens.
I could make use of a 4IV Eevee. If it's in a Luxury Ball then I'd like a female, if not a male.

I know it's not much, but since you didn't want pokemon for the trade, I threw a couple of berries onto what was traded to you. I really appreciate the trade.

Sure. It'll be male since it's not in a luxury ball.
FC is in my profile
Also what nature?
Some dude at work brought his 3DS to work today. We're well over 600 eggs combined. Hopefully we get something for you today
Edit: We're just half way done with our shift too. We should have 1200+ by the time we leave.
I guess bold would be best if you have that, but if not anything will do. Also, do you want a male or female Venonat? That's all I can offer right now.
All right. Male or female?
I'll take a Venonat. I believe we're already friends, as well.

I would love to get a couple of Eevees! Planning to make an entire Eeveolution team!
Don't worry about it, it's free.
And I have a bold with HA if you want or would you prefer without? If without, I've got a jolly if you're making a Leafeon and Adamant for Flareon.
Male, please.
Sure, are you looking for a specific nature?

Pfft, my Vivillon/Skitty/Farfetch'd team was totally 100% solid!
...But seriously, I only did that battle to show that guy not to invite me. I'm only a few hours in on my Japanese file. ;P

The guy in question wants a living JPN dex.

Thanks man, I appreciate it. I appreciated the Hatching Power as well!
Wow. Thank you very much for keeping me in mind! Is there anything I can help you out with?Some dude at work brought his 3DS to work today. We're well over 600 eggs combined. Hopefully we get something for you today

I was planning on maybe raising a Vaporeon. Anyways I'll be using it to breed Eevees in the future so it would be nice to have one with the HA. When can you go online?
I can go on now
I thought I was the only person in the world running a Venomoth, it's good to know there are more people out there who know how awesome he is

You threw a regular Pokeball or a ball with equivalent strength at a wild Abra that only knows Teleport. You dangerous, dangerous man.
I'd take a larvitar so I can start breeding one if I get you a shiny Sableye.
BudokaiMR2

How many rejects do you have?
I am planning to start breeding them myself so a Jolly and Bold would be great.
And yes if you still have one with HA that would be amazing!
SkullHydra
Member
You can have one regardless of if I get a shiny or not. =]
All right, I'll be there soon.

Venomoth is awesome. Only reason I didn't breed it so early is because of all the shiny new pokemon. One thing I really fear now though is Talonflame, all my poor bugs can't do a thing with it around.

I already added you. I will be on for another hour at least.
Do you need Timid Jotiks or Brave Honedges?
Most of mine are 3 IV but I can dig out some 4IV ones hopefully.
in-game name is Jolyne
These are free so don't worry about having to offer anything
I've got a jolly with 4IV's. I've also got a ton of 3IV HA Bold Eevee's if you would like. I can also breed one with 4IV's if you would like but it will take me a few minutes.

A week or so ago I started hearing rumblings of concern over this. Story goes that using these items ( or at least the everstone) effectively screws the MM by making it so that all your eggs are trying to be one nature and that may or may not be in your favor.
Basically you're not telling the game to slip X nature on all eggs, you're telling the game to ONLY give you eggs of X nature. And the eggs with your shiny value may very well not have that nature for a long ways down the rng path.
OR it could go the other way and using the stone could HELP you get it in just a few eggs. No way of telling ...
IDK much about the topic but I did use to rng breed in BW and I did notice that the more you limit what you want your shiny to express the fewer options the program could find for you. I could be completely wrong ... but I don't think it's a coincidence that everyone who is all zombied up going "ARRGGGG! I'm on my 1000th egg!" are using these items and that I had no luck when using these items yet I got got a shiny litleo (relatively Superior but only one IV ) in only 2-3 boxes when I decided to do a test and take off the items.

Those would be a perfect combo to get my next breeding project started.
Okay, so you want me to breed a 4IV bold with HA or do you want the 3IV HA ones I already have? I'm a little confused on which one you want
SkullHydra
Member
I've obtained three other shinies while using the Everstone, and none of them took over 250 eggs. A lot of other people here are getting them pretty quickly as well. The fact that this egg is taking so long is an anomaly...
No problem
I'll def find use for the Venonat so thank you.Charlie0108

The 3IV HA and 4IV jolly should be enough. I am going to keep breeding them anyway.
Alrighty while I'm online so whenever you're ready just send me a trade

My shinys deserve only the best, which is why I always have around 100 premium balls on me or 50 Luxury Balls. Got him in a crit-catch to B)
That PLUS I plan ahead! If I'm In a fs with even ONE pokemon that may know teleport I bring that lvl 37 Dugtrio with me to trap it. That male Kirlia seems pretty damn awesome ... but his first move was to teleport. Lucky for me I decided to not chance it and sent out my dugtrio instead of my main catcher.

Like I said, could go either way. Your shiny egg may very well be easier to get with the items (cause its got that nature and you're skipping past the ones that don't). No telling until we can see whats going on.
And congrats on the ralts!
(sorry for the 2x post ..)
