I'm trying to complete the Pokedex on Pokemon X so I can get the shiny charm. Would anyone be willing to help? If Bank was released in the US, I would have a complete Pokedex already. Freaking Pokemon Bank delay, ruining all my plans.
Update: thanks for helping me out, pheonixfoxx! Here are the Pokemon I still need to borrow:
Raikou
Entei
Latios
Kyogre
Cobalion
Thunderus
In return I can loan: Xerneas, Slowking, Steelix, Scizor, Porygon-Z, any of the starters, and basically anything you can breed/evolve without an item.
In other news, I tried my hand at chain fishing. I am amazed at how easy it is. (Chaining with the Pokeradar, on the other hand, is infuriating.)
I caught my first shiny on X/Y after a 40 fishing chain!
Aaaaah my first wild shiny in 6 years! I wanted a male one, but oh well, beggars can't be choosers. I named her Tartare because I am a jerk.
Two days later, while I was fishing for Clamperls, I found my second shiny (after a chain of 3):
He is now an adorable octopus named Hatchan...
so I can fish for shinies using a shiny.
This week I found two more shinies. I wasn't even searching for shinies at the time. I was just trying to get Dragon Scales and Kings Rocks off wild Horseas/Poliwhirls.
The second shiny Clawitzer is most likely going to be traded off because I don't need two of them.
