My girlfriend found a shiny Snubbull before even having the game for 24 hours. >_<

Many do believe the rate has increased, but I also haven't found one. And a lot of them are in hordes.

Already have a box and a half of them. Currently have it with a Japanese Snorlax to increase the odds. And I enjoy green and purple. I like the pink, but I prefer the normal colors.

I won't believe the rate has gone up until someone gives direct proof of it being stated somewhere.

So...Wonder Trade.
Trades Scyther -> Gets Magikarp -> Trades Magikarp -> Gets Italian Pansage -> Trades Pansage -> Gets 2nd Speed Boost Torchic
...Neat.

Nice. I'm wonder trading a bunch of my Amauras away before I go to sleep. Hoping I get some stuff I don't already have.

Best thing I got from wonder trade was an Axew and a LV50 Spinda. Traded the Spinda away

I love getting something unexpected. I got an Archen that I totally didn't anticipate earlier today :lol
I usually get common early game Pokemon, but the moments you get something like Larvesta, Torchic, or a starter make the Wonder Trade worth it.

I went Megastone hunting the past 2 hours, I got the Gengarite, Alakazite, Medichite?, Sizcorite, Garchompite, and Absolite.

Lv50 Spindas are actually rather common by the time you hit the town the 8th gym is in.

Where does one find Scizor's Mega Stone?

In the Frost Cavern by Dendemille Town it's literally right behind Abomasnow.

Noted. Thanks!
