So it's been a while since I was interested in shinies so I'm getting back into it. I want to know what's the best way to get a shiny?
Mesuda Method, horde encounters, trading? I'm currently trying to get all shiny eeveelutions and a male shiny noibat.
I'm not concerned about IV's but information about that is very appreciated!

Friend Safari is best for the pokemon you are looking for. Noibat is in a dragon type and eevee can be in a normal type safari.
 
Oh well thanks ^u^ how about for IV's if i did get into competitive battling?
Just gimme a minute, getting on my computer so I can type easier.

Actually, I was just about to make a thread with a guide. Could you wait for that? I'm typing it now.
 
I really want to get a shiny Eevee too, but I can't find anyone with an Eevee friend safari :(
 
Try friend safaris when your friend is online. I don't know why but I find shinies really easy that way. I've found few shiny noibats and eevee from safaris. Also I used to find lots of shinies in hordes.
Breeding shinies is really slow, so I don't do it much. I once got shiny scatterbug with Masuda and it took like 2000 eggs, so I don't want to do it again.
 
Masuda has worked really well for me (shiny Snorunt, shiny Mudkip <3 ), but then I haven't really tried Friend Safari, lol. I'll have to do that if it works so well for everyone! Need more shines.

Chaining has actually panned out decently for me as well - I caught a shiny Furfrou that way, and nearly had a shiny Skiddo before I accidentally put on the skates again. xD That way is pretty hard, though, I only recommend it if you have a lot of endurance/patience/ability to not throw your 3DS when frustrated.
