Did You Ever Breed a Shiny?

[Ⓡⓔⓖⓘⓝⓛⓔⓘⓕ]

So, did you?

I did, twice, I think, in HG and using the Masuda method: An Absol that I traded today for a Keldeo, and a Charizard, which I gave away.

I'm planning on breeding shinies after I finish HG again. I'm looking for a female Nidoran, maybe a Ponyta, and perhaps, when I get a Bagon, a shiny Bagon wouldn't be bad.

If you are after a shiny let me know, maybe I can breed one for ya.

--Edit--Now that I remember, I also bred a shiny Larvitar in Black 2. So that brings my total to 3. :nod:

I did by accident. A togepi. I was trying to get a female of a specific nature and a specific ability. I had so many bad eggs I started systematically releasing them. I nearly released the shiny one too, until at the last minute I noticed the star on its info page and just kinda...flailed for a few minutes at how close I came to letting it go lol.

I did eventually get that female modest serene gracer, but it took me longer to get that than it did to get a shiny. That will never stop amazing me.

Wait what...? You can actually tell whether an egg's content will be shiny by that star thingy? I didn't know that, but yet again, I don't know many things.

Nah man it was after I hatched it. I was checking for a specific gender/nature/ability combo why would I release an egg before hatching it lol. I guess I worded that funny. I was hatching them by the boxfull, and releasing them by the boxfull. Shiny togepi looks unfortunately similar to normal togepi, so I almost released it.

Oh I see, lol sorry about that, tis was me who got confused. I was beginning to feel stupid thinking that (all this time) you could actually tell if an egg's content was going to be shiny or not through the way you mentioned: the star. But thanks for letting me know, otherwise I'd be like checking every damn egg hence forth. And yeah, lol, why would you release eggs before hatching them.

I bred a shiny female Ralts one time in Platinum. I was so happy! The nature was perfect on it too! It was a Modest natured shiny female Ralts that liked to run. I named it Myricle, pronounce as Miracle, only with different letters.

Nope.

I tried for a long time to get a hatched shiny pokemon. Eventually, I gave up.
