A Pokemon that knows Suction Cups (Such as Inkay)Ĭhaining is hands down the most aggravating way to catch a shiny and is something that I don't recommend if you are an impatient person who gets.Yes, you can increase your chances of finding a shiny, but there are only a few types of Pokemon that can be found in hordes, plus you have no control over IVs, so if IVs are important to you, you may want to consider breeding.īefore I explain what chaining is let's go over what you need. There are both pros and cons for the technique as there always is. All you have to do repeat this process until you find a shiny! Once you do, you must make all of the Pokemon (except of the shiny of course) faint so you can catch the shiny. If you don't see a shiny you can either flee or fight.

A Pokemon that knows Sweet Scent (I always use Oddish)įirst you go to a cave or an area that has a patch of grass and have your Pokemon use Sweet Scent and a horde battle will begin.Since there is 6 Pokemon in a horde, you have a better chance of finding a shiny! All you need are the following: All you do is attract a horde of Pokemon to appear. Horde farming is by far the fastest way of getting a Shiny Pokemon. Catching a Shiny Pokemon can used to seem impossible, but ever X and Y came along it has been easier as ever before since your chances of getting one has increased! There are few methods to choose from, so it's best to try them all and see which one suits you the best. If breeding isn't your style then maybe catching a shiny is right up your alley.
Sadly, I didn't learn the amazing shiny catching/breeding tricks right away when Pokemon X and Y came out so hopefully my trial and error will help you with your task. Trust me, nothing is more satisfying than seeing your Shiny Pokemon hatch after hours of rage.
Although a free Shiny Pokemon sounds nice, it's not as rewarding.
