That's my shiny Luxray, and she took a heck ton long time for me to find. Well, to me anyway... I'm still new to this kind of shiny hunting so my hunt for her might be small compared to those hardcore shiny hunters.So, I'll tell you how I found her; I'm really quite proud of myself though it's like any "normal" shiny finding. I decided after finding my shiny Eevee (Sylveon now, actually) whose name is Robby, that I would search for shiny Luxio. I've always wanted one of those cuties, since I first set my eyes on them in the anime. I just found them absolutely... wowsers.
Did a bit of research on where Luxios could be found, lucky for me I didn't have to do the Masuda Method for obtaining a sparkle sphinx thing. Set my sights towards Route 118 and started my ever so tiresome look. By the time my DexNav told me I had seen 150 Luxios I was growing weary but I didn't stop looking, I mean who stops at 150? That's just scratching the surface!
Continued on till I had seen 300 Luxios, still no shinies. It was really getting annoying, but I couldn't seem to put it down so on I continued. I had broken my flipping chain two times now, and I was really hoping they wouldn't break... but noooo, they broke TWO more times afterwards. My final result of them breaking 6 times, thank you very much for my Pokemon running out of PP and my hastiness to get to the hidden Pokemon.
Stepped on a total of two lions in my search-wasn't fun since my chain had been somewhere in the 70s.And finally, after reaching 900 search levels for my DexNav, I STILL hadn't found that shiny. I was addicted to looking for them though, and the past night had stayed up almost all night searching. I was talking to a friend on Skype, telling them how aggravated I am. I also watched a number of videos of people successfully finding shiny Luxios, and to some people it might bring them down and think they'll never find one. But ohohoho; watching those made me pumped.
950 Luxios seen, no shiny in sight. I had finished my rant to my friend, who had listened through it all. And they said to me "It also depends on RPG luck".
And I replied: "*-wants my Krokorok to Power Up Punch RPG luck-*"
And do you know what happened? Of course you do!
This thing appeared (
), just when I was ready to throw my Omega Ruby and 3DS outside the window. I literally started to cry. It was around midnight though, and most of my family was asleep so I couldn't act like one of those Youtubers who clap like a seal or yell out "YES!" So I did the quiet things that showed my happiness: My whole body shook, my heart was pumping, and I was hyperventilating.
Named her Hazel after this annoying character I saw my younger sibling watch called Little Charmers but changed it afterwards to Nova. ^0^ And that's how my shiny Luxray came to be!Sorry, I'm pretty bad at story-telling my experiences, but there ya go!
