Don't worry! It'll show up, this was my second attempt at trying to get one really, as a suggestion use a Pokemon with Static up front, it will make electric pokemon show up more!

You guys are so incredibly lucky/determined :Y
There MUST be some increased rate of finding shinies now. Right? .-.

it took a week but i did it

a shiny adamant 5-stat mawile is now in my possession


masuda method doesn't exist

Day 5, still nothing.
My not-Shiny Ampharos sure is taking advantage of all that experience. A nice preview of what I can expect from Fabio.

got a shiny swoobat by accident a week ago, it's green and cute. not going to use it tho, bad memories from my swoobat in my white play through ( good in the beginning, terrible later in the game )

also got a shiny female togepi, yes i'm a para-flincher kind of guy

End of Day 6.
Fabio still not located.
My sanity is taking its toll.
I've killed thousands of Mareep! Give me a break! That's not counting the Wingull massacre!

*gasp* You monster! I don't understand shiny obsessions. Most of them are hideous, too.

Which is why people should stop bitching about the heightened Shiny encounter rate: They're special, but not 1/8000+ special.
Meanwhile, I've calculated that I've turned 400+ Mareep into doner kebab just today. Assuming I downed 500 a day, I should be at 3400. It's likely way more. I just hate how I have to rely on a constant coin toss what lands tails ~7999/~8000 times. Just give me the friggin' pink sheep already!

So at school the other day I'm playing Y with my friend.

Other friend (who hasn't touched Pokemon since RSE): "Oh hey can I play, [friend]?"

Psy-ai-ai.

According to Serebii, the odds of finding a shiny has been upped to 1/4000+.
That said, having possibly encountered 4000+ Mareep, still no shiny Mareep
