In regards to the Shiny Chainer badge:

I’m not sure if this constitutes as a bug, or if it’s something on my end, but –

the badge description states, “Congratulations! Your 50th shiny hatched out of one of your eggs.”

Which is nice and all, but I haven’t hatched 50+ shinies?

My PokéRadar history for reference:

There’s only 42 shinies accounted for *, which is a stark difference from 50.

* I know that Riako mentioned on Minor Updates that data prior to August 22, 2015 was not recorded, but I couldn’t have hatched any shinies, let alone 8 of them, before then because I joined August 28, 2015, and didn’t get shiny hunting until November.

So. It’s strange, is all. Not a complaint per say, but I’d like to know where the unaccounted 8 are, (if they exist? which I doubt, because while it’s not foolproof, I have kept a log with hatched shinies and what I have matches my PokéRadar History), and it’s unlikely that I’d forget about not one, but eight shinies?

thanks in advance for any input o:

Did you hatch random shinies/shinies you didn't specifically obtained using the PokéRadar? Like, a retro Pokémon from the Game Center, lab shinies, a shiny Pokémon from the Bug Hatching Contest, [...], stuff like that?

Because the badge ...

refers to Pokémon "hatched out of one of your eggs" - it doesn't specifically mention the PokéRadar. :)

So, basically, it comes down to shinies with your OT - where you got them from/how you obtained them, doesn't really matter.

Ah I knew I’d forgotten things (thanks Liirah!) though I can only account for two shinies from events (Retro Ducklett, and more recently, Tendenne). I know for sure that I haven’t hatched a shiny from the Lab, retros, or from the BHC though. And none of the non-chain able legends either, like Hoopa or the GC ones - not even the shiny Regis, unfortunately. I dunno if there’s something major I’m forgetting about now that you mention it .-.

You caught 5 Shinies at the Emera Beach - those count as well :)

Ohh, alright. I thought that those wouldn’t count as they come pre-hatched. But I guess that answers that then, thanks Riako :D
