I'm so happy! I didn't think I could do it! I apologize for the potato quality picture, it was taken on my husband's phone and I had to be quick since I accidentally woke him up when I found this shiny :D

I got him in the friend safari~ he was my 95th ponyta encounter... I feel pretty lucky <3  He only has 2 IV's for HP andd Attack I think? (still learning about iv's and all that)  But I'm very happy with him regardless!

Shoutout to @Cekeee (it was actually your safari I got him in! ) and @Mystery!  Thank you for all the kind words and support :D  You guys are awesome!

Edit: Feel free to post your victory shinies here, if you'd like! I'd love to see y'alls catches too! <3

@Elly Thank you so much~! Even though his Iv's weren't so good I'm still leveling him up to 100 now ^ ^; I can't wait!

May I ask what technique you used to go Shiny Hunting? Looking to get into it myself but I'm a bit lost on what technique to use 

[Vyaelra]

@Pixelatic  I literally just ran around in a friend's safari that catered to fire types, and counted how many times I ran into the type of pokemon I wanted a shiny version of.  If you want to shiny hunt, inside the friend safari that is,  I believe the odds for shinies are 1/512(?) Somewhere around there.  You don't need repel's or anything like that the only hangup is the friend safari only.

I would however recommend bringing a pokemon that has the ability Illuminate or Arena Trap to increase the encounter rate.  That's pretty much all I did

Here's a super helpful link that explains pretty much all legitimate methods of getting shinies, this is where I actually found out about Justin and this website xD  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cT410kgzXk

You'll see it in the video but here's the link to the counter that Justin mentions: http://pokemonforever.com/pokeradar.php

If you want to change the counter to pay attention to chains and whatnot just click Dex Mode on the bottom right   I hope this helps!

Congrats! My first legit shiny was actually shiny Ponyta in the friend safari too! Was actually taking a BREAK from shiny hunting when I found it. My fiance was freaked out because I was spazzing all over the place! After that I've had some success chain fishing, and ONE egg I actually used masuda method on over 1000 times, which was my shiny Noibat xD

@Vyaelra Did you found it in my fire type safari , btw did the person who told you the iv's say "They siply cant be beat" at the end?
