The SOS method got very boring, very fast. I managed to get 11 pokemon, then I tried for Carbink. Over 800 encounters (I did get it) and I was sick of it. Since then I've only sos'd twice, exeggucute and alola grimer. Been mainly shiny hunting on Y
Am really enjoying the SOS encounters on moon. Have caught 11 shinies so far. First one was Bagon, which I tried forever in ORAS to get but never could.
Only found two so far. After five failed attempts to get Bagon, got it after 32 SOS encounters. Boy was I happy. Then today I got a dewpider from SOS as well.
So I managed to hatch, after only 236 eggs, a shiny Furfrou. Its stats suck, but I don't care. Only third successful mm hunt. Going to name it Charlie in memory of my recently departed dog, which is why I was looking for it in the first place.
Still looking for a shiny Charmeleon. Its been a week and a half since I've started. In that time I've found two Magmar, a growlithe and a butterfree. But not what I want.
I have been trying to find a shiny wurmple in a horde. It has a 60% encounter rate, so I figured it wouldn't be a problem. So far I've found three shiny zigzagoon hordes and get this, two Shroomish hordes. Shroomish has a 5% encounter rate and I get two of them. Seriously?
Found 3 shinies today. 2 of them within 10 minutes of each other. Was looking for a shiny Plusle to go with the Minun I already had. Ended up catching two shiny magnemite before I found the Plusle. Careful, a shiny one of those is easy to miss.
My record for longest shiny fishing attempt was 2 and half hours for a feebas, which I caught. Shortest are 2 casts for a Wailmer and 4 for a horsea. Luck of the draw.
I've been trying for ages for a shiny Starly. I've caught a shiny stunky and two Nidoran with still no Starly in sught.
Update: caught two staryu and another horsea today. So my Kindra and Starmie Lines are now complete.
Finally, after 4 days of searching, i found and caught a shiny metang. Thought I would never find the blasted thing. I did catch a shiny excadrill while looking, so it wasn't all bad.
Does anyone feel that getting a shiny is now too easy? Before, you'd be lucky to find one a year. Now, it's one a day. Are shiny pokemon losing their special?
In the space of an hour, I ran into a magnemite, two bellsprout and a scorupi in hordes. Caught all four. Can sometimes go days without finding a shiny horde. Took 3 days of looking for that magnemite
