How exactly do you get shiny Pokemon in X?

I know you need the pokeradar, but then what do you do? (I know how to use pokeradar, don’t need to tell me that)

Do you want to know other methods?

Well, I’ll name a few:

Consecutive FishingYou can fish in the water, consecutively. Self-explanatory. xDHere’s alovely link. :3

Masuda MethodThe Masuda Method makes a triumphant return in X and Y, and with the already increased shiny chance in X and Y, the Masuda Method is really helpful in getting shinies. Simply get two compatible Pokemon from different-region games (NOT languages) and breed them. The chance of them producing a shiny is increased! :D

Friend SafariThere are also rumours that the Friend Safari has an increased shiny rate. So you can search there for Pokemon, that may not even be native to Kalos!

HordesAlthough the least-effective of the bunch, it’s helpful. Since 5 Pokemon appear in a horde, it’s 5x the chance a shiny Pokemon will appear in a horde.

Hope I helped. :)Source: Experience

A shiny Pokemon is a Pokemon that is differently colored and has a sparkle effect upon entering battle. Here’s a comparison with two Swoobat:Notice how the shiny Swoobat has more of a yellow hue and a turquoise mane.

From Generation 3 onward,no.Shiny Pokemon are normally used for aesthetic purposes, or bragging that you were lucky enough to get a shiny Pokemon.In Generation 2, when the mechanic was introduced, a Pokemon’s IVs determined its shininess.

[In Generation 2] If a Pokémon’s Speed, Defense, and Special IVs are all 10, and its Attack IV is 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14 or 15, it will be Shiny.(Source)
