For me, usually the shiny I encounter is very low-level, and I'm walking around with a team of level 60+ Pokemon that would vaporize it even if they so much as make a face at it. xD

I'm not big into shiny hunting mainly for the reason that the alternate colors seem a bit odd 9 out of 10 times. It looks good for some Pokemon (like black Charizard and gray Eevee), doesn't seem to make too much difference for most (Pikachu, Emolga), but others its really odd, like pinky shiny Lugia or pinky shiny Lopunny). That, and it just seems like it would be a really tedious thing to do.

But hey, for the peeps that do like to shiny hunt, it's all good. Have fun and good luck!
