I'm probably just going to do the fishing thing, because it's easy and hell, I love water pokemon.

Stay strong. Get some alka seltzer or powerade to expedite your recovery, the days are growing shorter and time waits for no gamer.

You can have one of mine, OP, I think I've got like 6 now, not including the hundreds I've seen and killed because I thought that the shiny version was uglier than the regular one.

There's some poo poo you can do with the pokemon radar in Gen 4 that pretty much guarantees them.

I think I'm going to try to get a shiny Poliwrath. It seems pretty easy with the fishing trick.

During the few months when X and Y were out but Pokemon Bank wasn't, I went out and fished for a shiny Magikarp, so that I could have a shiny Gyarados during the only time in history when that would be even slightly special.

You still caught one. I've played every single pokemon ever and have never seen one. I am shunned by the pokemon.

Congrats OP!

I got my first legit shiny Ducklett in X/Y which is pink from just hatching random eggs and then I saw the shiny for Swanna and was sorta disappointed. I pretty much just put an everstone on it.
