First Shiny Pokemon in Pokemon Y...

Sorry for not posting my blog earlier, my pc didn't want to connect to the internet last night, the internet did work on my 3DS and Wii U though but I didn't have the images I needed.

And no links, sorry for that, I will put up 2 links per person tonight to make up for any error I had. Also, 6 more days to get your questions in. You can either send them in PM form or ask them in the comments.

Now that that is out of the way, yesterday I was training one of my Pokemon on the Friend Safari, I was training it against some pokemon and I met low level pokemon and kept escaping them, then suddenly this appeared...

Shiny Pidgey

That is a Shiny Pidgey, for those who don't know, a shiny Pokemon is basically a different colored version of a regular Pokemon. You know Charizard is orange right? Well a shiny Charizard is black colored. Or more famously, the Red Gyarados. They don't really offer any bonuses, other than envy from other people who play pokemon. And that envy is due to the fact that it's pretty random finding a shiny Pokemon.

I'm lucky that I found one in the Friend Safar because every Pokemon there is guaranteed to have 2-3 IV stats, in copetitive battling, that is a whole difference between you and your opponent. For those who want to know it's IV stats, it only has 2 31 IV stats, one in Attack and Special Defense. Not bad but it's a pokemon I'm not going to use anyway. But here are it's stats:

Shiny Pidgey Stats

The nature it has was Jolly Nature, I had a photo of the nature but it came out too blurry. Sorry for the image quality, my good camera was giving a nastly blur with the flash that I had to use my DSi. Will it be the only shiny pokemon I find in Pokemon Y? Who knows. I am happy with finding it as my first shiny in the game.

Did you ever find a shiny Pokemon in X and Y? Thanks for reading and later.

I hated watching all my friends get the shiny Charizard card that was supposed to be rare and nada for me. So I get the envy thing. Nice though.

I have a holgoraphic Charizard card from the first gen that I used in school for card battles. It's a bit scuffed from all those years but still my my most rarest card. Sucks you never did, alot of those cards aren't too expensive on amazon. And thanks.

Keep looking Alex, you'll find one soon. Also try chainig pokemon with the PokeRadar, keep chaining the same pokemon and you're guaranteed to find a shiny.

I've caught a shiny Spinda and Altaria in X. Though I'm a little envious because Pidgey is one of my favorite Pokemon and I've yet to encounter a shiny one.

Nice! Although Spinda has alot of patterns so one would never find them all. If I ever do encounter another shiny Pidgey, I'll trade you for something.

Yeah the odds are always against you when trying to catch a shiny. There are methods to lowering the odds though. And thanks!
