Anyone watching the Pokemon Nationals this weekend?

It's broadcasting on http://www.twitch.tv/pokemon

This is the first time I've tried following anything like this. I'm definitely picking up a lot of competitive battling techniques I never would have thought of. How do some of these guys get these crazy strong teams with mostly shinies though!!!??? That's either some crazy luck or a ton of breeding. Probably both.

They do a ton of breeding any way so it's not THAT much more to get shinies as well.

It's not hard to get 5IV Pokemon in the new games. Most people obtain shiny Pokemon through using a Powersave tool or by obtaining their trainer shiny value (TSV) and share that on Reddit or Smogon.
