Nova, Sandran, KillerSwift, you may join!

Shido: That formula sounds like BS to me. And since when do natures have upper and lower values? The only truth I can see in that is that Nature is calculated by taking the mod-25 of the PV. The mod-5 of that value gives you the lowered stat; the value divided by 5 (rounding down) gives you the stat which is raised. Attack=0, Defense=1, Speed=2, Special Attack=3, Special Defense=4.

Shininess is calculated by XORing four values: the Trainer ID, the Hidden ID, the upper 16 bits of the PV, and the lower 16 bits of the PV. Your Trainer IDs are each 16 bits. Lop off the 3 lowest order bits, and if the result is 0, you have a shiny. (Equivalently, you can see if the value is 7 or less instead of lopping off the 3 lowest order bits.)

There's a ton of equivalent ways of representing the shiny formula. One of the more important ones is to seperate the constant parts from the equation. XOR your Trainer ID and Hidden ID. Knock off the 3 lowest bits. The result is a number between 0 and 8191: this is your "Shiny ID." For each Pokémon, take the XOR of the upper and lower 16 bits of the PV and lop off the 3 lowest from the result. If it matches your Shiny ID, you have a shiny. This is the simplest way to represent the egg trading effect, where an egg may contain a shiny if hatched by one trainer, but not by another: your Shiny IDs are different.

I suppose you could also consider an "Extended Trainer ID", which would be a 32 bit integer where the first 16 bits come from your Trainer ID and the last 16 come from your Hidden ID. It won't look like your Trainer ID because your Trainer ID is always shown in decimal.

Killer-Swift: First find a picture you want to paste into your sig. Then right click it (if it's on the internet that is) and click properties. Then highlight the URL in the middle of the window that pops up and copy it. Then all you have to do is go to Edit Signature in your control panel and paste it with Image tags. If you don't know how to image tag, just scroll over the bottons above the sig box until you the one that says image.

*deep breath*

Update: 3400 Scyther Resets. I'm going to be gone at the beach for two weeks, and then I might be going to somewhere else the week right after, so I'll be gone for a while. I'm going to hate having to read like, 300 posts when I get back. <(>.<)>

First I would like to welcome the new members of SHC and congrats Killer-Swift on your first shiny.

SHC Report:
I think I am bound to find a shiny sooner or later, I've been feeling lucky. I may just join King-Kobra in the hunt for Shiny Scyther when I get to Celadon, or I may search for Shiny Dratini. Anyway, I have already evolved my Bulbasaur all the way up into a Venusaur before I even got to Cerulean City (No, not Shiny). I murdered Staryu and Starmie. I'm now training my Kadabra, going to evole him into Alakazam when he reaches lvl 30, hes 27 now. But, between them I have ran into alot, and I mean alot, of wild pokemon but sadly no shinies.

I saw Pirates today, it was really good but I still say the first one was better.

Since your b-day is coming up, i'd suggest you get you parents to get you a Nintendo DS Lite since the new Pokemon Diamond and Pearl are coming out by the end of this year or the beginning of next year and plus you can trade Pokemon between R/S/E/LG/FR and D/P just using one DS Lite.

Just go after any pokemon you like alot and try to find a shiny version of it.

You have to actually pick the pokemon and look at the stat screen to see if its shiny, the first pic that Oak shows you wont be shiny so you have to check from the stat screen.

Nope the mystery event thing won't work with a friend, sorry. And congrats on your first shiny. And D/P aren't coming out in America this year, based on what I've heard. Supposedly, it is coming out in Early Spring/Late Winter '07 for America. Japan gets it Sept 28th of this year or somethin... exactly 2 weeks and 2 says after my b-day.

I'm back from my cuzin's house. I did a lot of SRs for Dratini while I was there, but I didn't get anything.
BTW, my brother's shiny Ninetales is gone. He and my cuzin were playing around, and my cuzin took his GBA SP and pressed B+Up+Select. My lil bro tried to snatch the GBA SP away, but (quote by my cuzin) "I accidentally pressed A at the last second!"

Accidentally pressed A at the last second? That is BS. My bro started crying for like an hour, and my cuzin didn't even bother to apologize. Although we didn't show it, both my brother and I are extremely mad with him.

Hey everyone! sorry I haven't been able to go on in awhile, but I'm only allowed on the computer on the weekends, so...yea. In ruby, i'm still looking for a shiny mudkip and in emerald I'm still looking for a shiny marill, but I'm also still trying to train my team. Well, I'll hope to post again soon, but for now, wish me luck!:P
