How many of the 3 shiny hunt competitions have you entered and how many shinies have you got through doing them? Also how many eggs did you hatch in each one?

I've entered all 3 and got 2 so far the Swinub on egg 113 and Pichu on egg 40 hatched 42 Relicanth so far but none shiny yet. Also have any been shinies you actually wanted or did you just enter for the prize. I've only ever entered them for the prize but will never release any shiny if I like it or not. Don't like Swinub at all.

I've entered all three. I got the first two shinies pretty quickly. Current one is still going for me.

Shiny Swinub iirc took me like 3 or 4 days, Pichu was a day 1 shiny for me. Relicanth is still going. But hoping I can get lucky soon!

Entered all three, didn't make it for any of them. I didn't enter the *COMPETITION* one for Pichu on accident, and I never hatched a Shiny Swinub. xD I have Relicanth eggs 26-28 in my party right now. Still working on it, I'm going to finish this one whether it takes me a thousand eggs, or just two more.

I've only entered 2, the Pichu and Relicanth hunts. The Pichu hunt took me 169 eggs to hatch it and the Relicanth hunt took only 62 eggs.

Entered two of the three because I was away on vacation for the Pichu one. Luckily enough though, I bought a blue stone from the backroom after the contest, and I already had a Shiny Pichu so it all worked out cat.gif


As for how long each took, the Swinub one took 186 eggs and 7 days.. while the Relicanth one took 19 eggs and about 3 hours XD

I didn't enter the swinub hunt because I wasn't active on the site at the time at all. I got my pichu after a few days and 86 eggs and relicanth I got in the first day after 105 eggs.

Relicanth was actually on my list of wanted shinies so I was happy when this one was announced. I'm not too fond of the 'chu family, well at least not pichu and pikachu so Rai was fully evolved as soon as she could be. The shiny form is kind of boring though so I went with a first gen sprite for grey prettiness. cat.gif

In Pichu hunt I got a shiny in 8 eggs and now in the Relicanth one I got a shiny in 31 eggs...

Seems I get lucky in this stuff, since my normal shiny hunts are often longer.

When I went to enter the Swinub one, I didn't pick the competition one but didn't realize until it was almost over. I hadn't hatched very many anyways, so I didn't feel too left out. Then the achievements relating to the shine recorder came out and I thought the Swinub would be perfect for Quitter. So I tried to get to 100 so I could quit. I got a shiny at number 98. xD

Pichu I just missed completely.

Still working on Relicanth. Thankfully I didn't miss it this time thanks to the admins for the long sign-up period. <3

I was on a hiatus for RL stuff for the first two hunts, so this is my first one. I entered for the prize, but I've wanted a shiny Relicanth for awhile - it was on my wanted shinies list for months, but I never got around to hunting it.
I've hatched 121 eggs without a shiny so far. Hopefully I'll be able to get one by the end of the contest. I did get a Shiny Aaken today, though. xD

I entered all three competitions~

I got my shiny Swinub after 68 eggs and my shiny Pichu after 7.
Now, I have hatched 290 Relicanths and I'm still searching for a shiny...

I have pretty bad luck with them overall.

Swinub took 64 eggs, which was okay I guess.

Pichu took me a good 574 eggs with much rage.

And Relicanth took 312 eggs.. with even more rage. I'm still amazed by how I managed to hatch 312 eggs in 2 days, while being flagged for that adblockblahblah thing. o.o

I find sitewide hunts to be meh in general, because the shiny hunt pokemon is usually something I really don't like and it mostly depends on trollface.jpg. -_-2.gif It's really not nice to watch everyone and their dogs get their shiny while I'm putting much more effort in the hunt.. and not getting it for quite some time. But oh well.. even if I don't like the shiny, I want the prize. :/

Heh. I know the feeling. I'm up to 299 eggs so far on Reli here. I'm about to unleash some BROOKLYN RAEG (even though I'm nowhere near Brooklyn!). Heh. But if others can hatch shiny Relis, then I can as well.

I've entered all three, but no shinies. I hatched 63 Swinub eggs, 73 Pichu eggs, and so far for Relicanth I've hatched 53 eggs. I didn't do so well for the first two because of a mistaken ad blocking status, so I wasn't even really active, but I'm going for at least 200 eggs for Reli, hopefully it won't come to that.

PENI- Uh.. SPACE ENVY



I in the top 10 (or would it be bottom 10?) to finish last for the Swinub hunt...and it took 215 eggs. I was on vacation for the majority of the swinub hunt though...and 150 of the eggs were hatched on the last day xD. Green Ham is <3

For the pichu one..it took 130 or 160 something eggs? I don't remember and I'm too lazy to look. I named my napoleon...for pichu was pretty much dominating the site atm...quite a feat for such a small creature, no?

Relicanth..I just finished..with 322 eggs. I already had a female shiny relicanth so I was ecstatic to get my mating pair <3...Mr and Mrs. Grumpy are in my daycare right this very second *waggles eyebrows*

Call me Ronnie (or Ronnster) Please :> NOTICE: I'm not that active at this moment so I will be uber slow with PMs and might not clickback or whatever. Maybe I'll be back in full force someday... like for the SWSH... I don't wanna miss out on the prize... <.<

I entered (or at least tried to) the last two. Pichu (Spark) was my 9th egg and Relicanth (Old Blue) was my 2nd.
