Here's a question, mostly because I'd like to find some like-minded folk- does anyone still shiny hunt in the Pokemon games? It's a hobby I really enjoy, and have been doing it for the past 7 years give or take a few months. I got super into it during the X/Y era and used to be a really nice competitive breeder/battler, and so I'd spend much of my time breeding for shiny 'mons. 😂 I've long since retired from battling, but I still do enjoy the hunt! Currently going for a living shiny dex, which is a feat in itself.

I don't hunt much in the Switch titles, and as I never got into Sun/Moon and the Ultra versions, I still hunt in ORAS and X/Y mainly, but I did recently get into romhacks on top of that- I got an R4 card specifically so I could play romhacks on actual hardware, so I've also been hunting in Renegade Platinum.

This is probably just mindless ramble, but I'd really like to find someone into the hobby. Call me hopeless. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I do, though rarely. 

I prefer to shiny hunt in Go over the main series, however, since the shiny percentage/rate is waaaay lower than that in the games. It's like 1 in 500 vs. 1 in 4096. Plus, whenever there's a community day, you can get a ton of shinies as your chance of finding one goes down to--I think--1 in 25. Just from the recent Eevee community day I have a shiny of every Eeveelution + an Eevee and an extra Vaporeon.
