Shiny Pokémon are rare, color-variant Pokémon. In X and Y, popular methods for shiny hunting include the Masuda Method (breeding Pokémon from different real-world language games to increase shiny odds) and Chain Fishing (fishing repeatedly in the same spot without moving or failing to increase shiny odds). The Friend Safari also has increased shiny odds compared to regular wild encounters. Patience and persistence are key to finding these elusive Pokémon. Consider using the Shiny Charm (obtained after completing the National Pokédex) to further boost your chances.
