4th September (2015), an hour after I woke up, I shiny-hunted in a ghost-type friend safari which had Shuppet, Pumpkaboo and Spiritomb. I decided to do one last encounter before I went to go do something else (and it wasn't one those just one more, ok now for real its the last one kind of last encounter. I have self-control), when I found a shiny Spiritomb!
I named it Ectoplasma as a portmanteau on the words ectoplasm and plasma (even though ectoplasm is already a combination of ecto and plasma).

On the 5th of September (2015), I was able to continue my one shiny per day with a shiny Pinsir from a friend safari. I got it 11 minutes before the next day started.
Nothing too special about it (apart from being shiny of course); it has submission, so I feel more justified for not using False Swipe during shiny catching.
I named him Beatley because he's a beetle and his blue colour reminded me of Wheatley from Portal 2.

6th of Sept. (2015) and the streak goes on with a shiny Drowzee in a psychic type friend safari! Unlike the others though, it was the Pokemon I was actually looking for. He of course has a bad nature, Lax.
I named him SigmundFreud after Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis.

7th of Sept. (2015), I decided to test the streak with a Pokemon I had been trying to search for forever. I had given up upon the hunt so many times, even tried to hunt in another friend safari but still came out shiny-dry. Now finally, after at least an year since I started the hunt for it, I continue my shiny streak with a shiny Trapinch!
It literally made my day. Even though it's only the start of the day. I named her Mirage because it was such an elusive shiny.

'On the 8th day of September (2015), the safari gave to me, 1 shiny Lillipup, to continue my shiny streak!'
Lillipup was the one I wanted a shiny of the least (the other Pokemon were Minccino and Ditto), so of course I got shiny Lillipup. On the bright side though, she's lax which isn't a bad nature and has run away (which becomes scrappy). She also has max IVs in Attack and Defense.
I don't know what to name her, so I just went with Doge-Mesiter.

To complete the shiny week, I found a shiny Riolu on the 9 Sept. (2015) in a Fighting type safari. It has the ability Steadfast, a bad nature and ok-ish IVs.
So now I have a shiny Pokemon for every day of the week.
I named him Saiyan Dawg because I don't know.

On the 11th of Sept (2015) I found a shiny Minun. After losing my DexNav chain of over 250 trying to find a shiny Sunkern, I went to Route 110 to do some horde encounters. After about 6 hordes, I found the Minun.
It's a Minun, so, not really any good battling capabilities (although Helping Hand from a Plusle makes it do a crazy amount of damage).
I so super original that I named him - (That's a minus sign if you couldn't see it).

On the 13th of Sept (2015), I got a shiny Zigzagoon on Route 1 horde-hunting.
She has a neutral nature and the ability Gluttony. Nothing more about it. It's just a zigzagoon.
I named her Zigzy.

On the 16th of Sept (2015), I finally get a shiny Aron from horde-hunting in Granite Cave!
It has the ability Rock Head and a defense IV. The only bad thing about it, is that it has a -Atk nature. It might not be too bad though. My in-game Aggron had a -Def nature but it was still amazing.

I named it T-X (short for Tyrannosaurus-X). And now there is only one more shiny I need. And my team of all-stars will be complete...

So, I start my horde-hunting in Mew Mauville today as well; first horde, right in the middle, is a shiny Magnemite. And this was right after the shiny Aron horde, so it's almost like back-to-back shinies.
I named it Magneto.

Finally, on the 20th of Sept, I found a shiny Sandshrew in the desert (Route 111) by horde-hunting. I was almost thinking of giving up and hunting something else, but glad I didn't!
He has IVs in Defense and Speed. I didn't even know horde pokemon could have 2 IVs.
I named him Crevice.

Same day, just before I went to bed, I found a shiny Geodude in a horde in Terminus Cave. Luckily, I had a Chimecho with skill swap to give the shiny Levitate. Otherwise, the other Geodudes would've killed him with magnitude.
I named him Nugget

ALL HAIL THE KARP!
On the 21st September, I found a shiny Magikarp! And it's staying that way! I don't care about red Gyarados, golden Magikarp looks amazing! This was my first shiny obtained from chain fishing and I got it from Route 104.
What made this even more special is that I accidentally pressed the A button when I didn't see or hear the exclamation point. Luckily, it popped up the exact same time I pressed A. I'm thinking, "Imagine if this turns out to be shiny". Lo and behold.
I named this God of the Ocean, King Karp because that's exactly what it is.

22nd September and another Pokemon from chain fishing! I starting to really like this method. So far I've gotten the shinies relatively fast from this method. And I don't know what it is with me and golden weak fish, but I really like shiny Luvdisc.
I caught one at Ever Grande City in a chain lower than at least 10. I caught her in a heal ball because it's fitting. For some reason all the shinies I've gotten since Magnemite have had neutral natures. I guess that's good since it doesn't do anything negative, but it makes it sort of boring.
I named her Aurumance because it's wordplay on Aurum (Latin for gold) and Romance.

On the 23rd of September, I got another shiny from chain fishing. I got a shiny Goldeen from Route 22 in Pokemon Y. I was looking for shiny Carvanha, but at least it's not a duplicate shiny!
I named him Raign has a sort of wordplay on rain and reign (because SeaKING).

After 2 more shiny Goldeens, I was able to find a shiny Carvanha! Carvanha has one my most favourite shinies. What makes it even better is that it had Adamant natute and an Attack IV!
I named her Gameshark.

On the 24th Sept (2015), I caught a shiny Remoraid in Azure Bay (Pokemon Y) by chain fishing. It has a modest nature (+S.Atk -Atk) which is great! It also has Hustle which becomes Suction Cups when it evolves into Octillery, so, I might ability capsule it if I'm bored enough to farm BP.
I named him Leigh after some really generous person I traded with on Pokemon Y. He not only gave me PokeBank Pokemon and legendaries for free, but also a shiny Octillery.

On the same day, in Cyllage City, I fished up a shiny Horsea. She has Sniper and was already holding a dragon scale. She also has max S.Atk IVs.
I named her Maelstrom because Kingdra causes whirlpools when it yawns.

On 26th Sept. (2015), I caught a shiny Minccino in a friend safari. It unfortunately has Technician instead of Skill Link, but I already have a competitively bred Cinccino, so it's not too bad. It has a naughty nature and full IVs in HP and S.Atk.
I named her Scarfy.

On the 27th Sept. (2015), I was extremely lucky to find a shiny Bagon in a horde at Meteor Falls! For those who don't know, Bagon hordes only have a 5% chance to appear while Zubat hordes have a appearance chance of 95%. But, against all the odds, I was able to find a shiny Bagon without any shiny Zubats!
I was also testing out the synchronize ability to get Naught nature on it (because I don't have an adamant Pokemon with synchronize) and it worked! It has Rock Head which means it won't be able to get Moxie, but I don't think it matters too much.
I named him Green Baron.

On the 30th Sept. (2015) after about 20 minutes of searching, I was able to find and capture a shiny Nidoran♂ on Route 11 in Pokemon Y.
It's impish which is pretty good but it has terrible attack IVs. It also Rivalry which is also bad.
I named him Beast because well, if I get a shiny Nidoran♀, I'd name her Beauty.

On the 2nd Oct. (2015) I FINALLLY found a shiny from the PokeRadar! I've been trying to find one for so many days. And it was just broken chain after broken chain. I wanted to shiny chain Smeargle or Illumise but Croagunk kept breaking the chain with them so I chained Croagunk. After many broken chains I finally reached my 2nd chain of 40 and kept resetting until I finally saw the shiny patch!
It was so stressful, I'm not doing that again for a loooong time.
It has Anticipation and a rash nature. I was hoping for Dry Skin but oh well.
I named her Broake as a slight portmanteau on broke and croak.

On the 3rd Oct. (2015) I found a shiny Meditite by horde hunting on Mt.Pyre! It has lonely nature which boosts attack, Pure Power ability and max attack IVs!
I was hoping for a shiny Shuppet but his is still great! I can still horde hunt inside Mt.Pyre for 100% encounter rate for Shuppet hordes.
I named her Yogar because Meditite does yoga and it sounds cool.

On the 4th Oct. (2015) I found a shiny Wailmer by chain fishing in Lilycove City! It has a sassy nature and the ability Oblivious. It also has max attack IVs.
I named him Zeppelimp as a combination of the words zeppelin and blimp.

On the same day, in the evening, I found a shiny Dedenne in a fairy friend safari! It has Pickup and calm nature. It has max HP and S.Atk IVs which is pretty good.
I named her Mallomar.
