I'm attempting to breed for a shiny Tyname/ Elektross, mainly cause his sprite looks all green and...I like...green. But I'm not sure I'm ready for this, I mean how long is it supposed to take? I have a German ditto and that's what I'm Mussaduaing with but I've gone through like 4 boxes and still nothing...

How do you know if they're shiny or not? I've encounter one type of Pokemon in different color at different times, and I don't know if it was Shiny or not. Is there suppose to be a shiny thingy around them when they pop up like the red Gyrados in Silver Edition in GBC?

Got it, I hatched the shiny Tynamo, and I have few things to say about the hatching process

  • Was It Idiotic: Oh yeah, probably the biggest time waster in the history of people
  • Did the Musada effect make it fast and easy: Absolutely not, I must've filled up 50 boxes with Tynamo before I hatched a shiny
  • Would you do it again?: Not if you payed me.
  • Was it worth it?: You bet your arse it was. I mean look at this!

Yes, there's a sparkling animation and a sound effect when the Pokemon appears. Now, maybe the Pokemon you're talking about is Frillish or Jellicent, where males are different colored than females? Or Deerling, where the color changes depending on the season?

You sir, are by far the luckiest person in the world. 5 Shinies, and he's "Just been roaming" that's like winning the lottery and then getting struck by lightning and then the ticket get super charges it making it worth double, are you sure they're shiny do they have the red star and the glittering animation?

Lol, yes they are all shiny, I can confirm this. I just go to random areas and run around. I've been through at least 300 battles in just one day. I'm not even looking for anything specific, just looking for whatever I can find!

By any chance, do you have the Shiny Charm from Prof. Juniper? Still, that's pretty good, I know shiny hunters spend a lot of time hunting, how much time did it take you to find all those shinies?

Yes, I do have the shiny charm, definitely helps find them easily. I'll spend at minimum a week in one area and if nothing I'll go somewhere else, completely at random.

Some took longer than others to find. Mareep took only about 2 or 3 days. Audino took longer than expected, training by battling hundreds of them. I don't recall how long it took to find Gligar. I actually just found Tranquil last week within 2 or 3 days as well. I just moved my location looking to find either Poliwhirl or Politoed.

...looking to find either Poliwhirl or Politoed.

So I just caught a shiny Poliwhirl. WAT DO.

I **** you not, today, one day after I caught the shiny Poliwhirl (which I picked Poliwrath btw) I caught a shiny Roselia. I was looking for not even a half hour when I found it. Even with the Shiny Charm I'm getting TOO lucky.

EDIT: 2 Days later, I caught a shiny Sandshrew.

So what ratio does the lucky charm cut down the chances of finding a Shiny too? i'm not very wise on finding shiny pokemon so what methods reduce the chance to its most accurate form in white and black 2?

I've just traded over all my Shinies from my Black save to my Black 2 save. (x2 Golems, 1 Sunkern, 1 Vulpix and 1 Gyarados)

Their origins being from my SoulSilver save.

The chances of encountering a shiny with the Shiny Charm is increased by 300%. Without it, there is a 1 in 2730.6 chance. With it, it increases to 1 in 1365.3.

Actually you have a 1 out of 8192 or a 0.012% chance. The Shiny Charm increases your chances to 1 in 2,730.6 or a 0.036% chance. You must have misread the information some where else. 1 in 1365.3 or a 0.073% chance is the Masuda Method. However using the Shiny Charm in conjunction with the Masuda Method results in a 1 in 1024 or a 0.097% chance of getting a Shiny.

Yeah, I did misread it, sorry. On serebii the way they worded its details confused me. http://www.serebii.net/itemdex/shinycharm.shtml

Man, took me nearly two weeks to get another shiny. Just got a shiny Liepard yesterday.
