TrainerChyaku17 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 And still no shiny Pokemon encounter. That's the only thing I'd love to have in this game since I've done everything in it. How long did it take for you to get a shiny, if you've come across one? Link to comment

Ive heard of worse cases of people going near 4k+ hours with no shinies, and they were daily players that were fully commited to the game at the time. Now all they do is log and commit to a shiny and grind till they get it eventually. I came across my after 2.3k hours, shiny geodude while everstone farming and not even a week later, a shiny slowpoke from hp EVing. Both accidents. Now run along and grind until unova comes out.

Rigamorty Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I got my first shiny at 469 hours. I got my second shiny at 4463 hours. It can take a while. Link to comment

SodaNaranja Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 300 hours, if you feel bad about that watch this. Link to comment
Ploegy Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I mean it varies a lot in terms of time. I got my first shiny really early on at about 47 hours then didn't get one till nearly 2k hours and then yet again another 2k hours to get the third. So it's really just chance. There is no set time on when you might find one or an average time Link to comment
RysPicz Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 It took me 3 years to capture a persian. Three years. Around 7500 hours of game. Bishav and Kaerodactyl 2 Link to comment
Moetal Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 This is a sign telling you that you need to quit this game and move on with your life. Send all your stuff to me before you quit, IGN Moetal... although I myself actually quit back in May. Bishav 1 Link to comment

My 1st shiny was a Linoone at 1,723 hours as I was just passing thru some route in Hoenn, I think by safari zone. Was a totally random single encounter. And 2nd was a Beautifly in a horde at 2,381 hours while EV training in Pattern Bush. Wasn't expecting that one to happen either. Currently at 3.5k+ hrs and no 3rd one as of yet. But I don't actively hunt shinys at all. I just kinda go with the flow. I guess you get the picture by now, it will happen when it happens. Playtime doesnt really mean anything. Just because someone has 1000+ hours doesn't mean those hours were spent encountering mons, could just be afk-ing in verm for 12 hours a day for all we know. Just do as many wild encounters as you possibly can, it'll happen eventually. awkways 1 Link to comment
