Hey dark steelix i'm not sure if you've said it, but how many SRs did it take for you to get Uxie?

It took me 90 days of Sring, and I average 5 hours of Sring per day, so that works out to around 54000 SRs. Yeah I was glad it finally appeared, but Palkia and treecko took even longer. Ugh I'm hoping to get something soon. yay Tomorrow's Canada Day, maybe I'll get some luck then. June was a bust for me. No Honey tree pokes decided to shine and neither did Kyogre :/ I've focused all my efforts at the moment on Honey tree pokes, mostly combee. I'm slathering trees in 3 games, Diamond 1, Pearl 1 and my Jpn Pearl. so Hopefully I can get a combee at least every couple days. I will Sr for any cherubi, aipom and burmy that show up though if no combee is present. But if I happen to get super lucky heracross or even the legendary munchlax, I'll SR for those over any present Combees. Good luck to everyone on their hunts!

Wow. My spirits just got screwed. Damn. Now I'm depressed. This hunt seems so bleak... How did you do it?

I have had a rough day.

A day of cleaning and chaining turned into a day of sitting in hot sun and fishing.

Magikarp fishing.

For some stupid reason I was brought along with my Dad as he took Mom to the doctors again. So I had to sit. And wait. And wait. And wait. And wait.

The lighting was bad so I couldn't chain. So I broke out Pearl #2 and started fishing. No shiny.

It was hard to even get the stupid Magikarp to come up. More often than not, I would go on a string of "Not even a nibble" that lasted 10 or more fishing.
I think I have a tan on my right arm from the sunlight.

My purpose?
Not a thing. I don't even know why I went. I didn't plan to. Then all of a sudden my Dad says "You better start shutting stuff down" (i.e. computer etc. for those nosy people who can't keep to their own business).

So I come home, play NASCAR Thunder '03 (Nothing works right. I'm not fast, I got my best career finish 9th at Talledega but I finished 34th at Fontana...) go out again with my Dad to get medicine.

More waiting in the sun.

Come back, eat dinner, play more Thunder and now I'm watching Hell's Kitchen, and I'll probably start chaining Sneasel again.

I had better luck in the snow. Thanks anyway.
The lake has a lot of grass patches to play with but the Pokemon I hate most is also there (Bibarel). And it broke my chain early.

I also sorta have a challenger. If he uses his shiny Pokemon, I'll have to contend with a shiny Giratina. It should still be UT though, the counter I think of is my Tyranitar. Typing and Crunch. Also has Dragon Claw. Hee hee!

VS. Hella defenses and HP. I should be able to get it down very, very far though.

Good luck everyone

Well... Hi people...
I used to be a part of this but I never really was commited to anything in PC, I was just someone in the shadows overlooking stuff and reading posts.
So to get to the point I was hoping I could re-join the shiny hunters and come out the shadows, yeah..
Thats all :)

I can see in the dark.



Well, I would have a new video but it hasn't finished processing yet. This is the longest it's taken to process a video for me, I uploaded it hours ago!!!

I'll go ahead and tell you what it's about...


Hey, nevermind, I'm sticking with the lake: A shiny Sneasel came on a chain of just 5.

This can only be works of the Secret ID, or at least that's what I think. And how certain Pokemon can be attained easier than when other people try, and vice versa. I have extremely good luck with Sneasel (C'mon, 19, 15, and now 5?!?!?)....

I think I'm about to 20 in the same chain, I didn't do much on it today, my brother came and we had a good time on Mario Kart Wii.

If I do get to 40, I expect the shiny Sneasel to "pour" in. At this rate, I plan on getting as many as I can. At first I thought they looked a little weird, but now I think they're pretty cool!

The one I caught at the 5 chain was Naive. It's one speed point off of the other I have but it has more attack.


Good luck everyone, and congratulations to those who have new shinies. A friend of my just got his own shiny Giratina as well.

Well, I've been away for a while, but I've been busy! Thus far, I've collected:

  • 1 shiny Swellow
  • 8 shiny Mareep
  • 3 shiny Sneasel

Swellow was that bugger who came early on the chain. It's a Sassy Male IIRC. Still no pictures, since every time I think of it, I happen to be in the middle of a chain.

The Mareep were hard fought for. Feeling invincible after Seviper, Mareep was a hard reality check, and it took seven broken chains before I hit 40.

Sneasel was dead easy. The first chain went to 40 and I was greeted by an early Sneasel at 35. My chain is still going and I've recorded another shiny patch in it.

I see that while I was away, DDD's been up to some good chaining. Gratz, guy, on deciphering the Radar! And good luck with Sneasel. Y'know, you actually qualify for three separate Sneasel on your card (whenever I manage to get around to them -.-) since they were on separate chains. It might still come across as radar whoredom, so it's up to you.

I hatched a whole box of shiny Charmanders once.... It hurt. I needed some special cream after that...........
After ONE box? C'mon, I've done like 80-something "boxes" (actually, I release most of them on the spot now) of Chikoritas and am not even close to breaking a sweat! :P

lol. Well, I hope you get Uxie soon, but if it was me, I wouldn't have went to go try to chain Buizel, because all I can think of when SRing is that if I encounter anything else, if I had encountered what I was SRing for at that time, it might have been shiny.

Not to say that the 24 or so Buizel you saw could've been shiny Uxie instead....

Just makes me think of the RNG.
Umm, that's not how the RNG works. Odds are, even if you were still in front of whatever it was you were SRing for, your timing wouldn't have been precisely identical and have drawn that shiny. Even on Emerald, timing is a huge factor and going off to do other stuff doesn't affect anything.

Oh, I've got a question. I've been playing Pearl on an emulator and when I have the chance, I'd definitely like to Shiny Hunt with the PokeRadar when it's available. Will they count? And of course, I'm a legit player. Hacks=never used :)
Sorry, but no. Emulators and flash cards are considered "unsupported platforms," and shinies found on them may not count. There is no sharp line between hacking/not hacking on unsupported platforms, so we can't count them. Especially with things that have no effect on the program but a massive effect on fairness like savestates and fast forward. :P

No, they won't count. I wouldn't even play a Pokemon game on an emulator, because if I found a shiny, it'd kill me because I didn't really have it nor I couldn't really transfer it over.
Send me your .sav file. I could bring them over into the "real world." :P And trade them back to you over wi-fi. They still wouldn't count! :P

****.

Sneasel is hurt by poison!
The wild Sneasel fainted!
Breloom gained a buttkicking!


Exactly what MM mentioned earlier. Effect Spore.
Only I caught the Spearow at high health! :P I make damn sure that every hunter Breloom I use on the 4th-gen carries Poison Heal. On Fire Red, I now use a Flying Smeargle! :D

Hello all. I was very lucky today a got a shiny Treecko after a few resets. I've been going for one since early May and I was shocked when I saw it Blue with a Red tail. It's a Bold nature male.
A few resets? A FEW resets? It took me like 30,000 resets to get that bugger, and you get one after... a few?

(j/k, congrats. Most of my early Treecko SRing was against the Emerald RNG of Doom before it was discovered. It only took a few hundred SRs (and a couple Gold Pooches -.-) after switching to Sapphire.)

Hey, nevermind, I'm sticking with the lake: A shiny Sneasel came on a chain of just 5.

This can only be works of the Secret ID, or at least that's what I think. And how certain Pokemon can be attained easier than when other people try, and vice versa. I have extremely good luck with Sneasel (C'mon, 19, 15, and now 5?!?!?)....

If I do get to 40, I expect the shiny Sneasel to "pour" in. At this rate, I plan on getting as many as I can. At first I thought they looked a little weird, but now I think they're pretty cool!
I dunno. I'm up to 26,300 steps (526 radar resets) as of reaching 40 and have still only seen 2 of the buggers. It does seem like the shiny patch frequency varies with the chain. Oddly enough, it seems that the rarest Pokémon (Seviper and Mareep for me) have the highest rate of shiny patches once you've hit 40! This is just from experience, though, and might be random.

Ouch but the thing with savestates and fast forward, I don't use them. I'm playing the game as if it was a handheld. I know, you'd have to take my word along with everyone else who plays on an emulator. Well, until I get myself a copy of Pearl for my DS, I'll stick with my emulator!

I could still post on here about updates like chains and what not right? I know they wouldn't count but it's still my hard work :D

  • 8 shiny Mareep
  • 3 shiny Sneasel
8 SHINY MAREEP QQ I have been trying and trying to get a shiny mareep forever! I chain and I chain and I even chain it when I'm ev training my electrode but my darn chain ALWAYS breaks sometime after 30, it's like mareep is my cursed pokemon!
Anyways I'm going to start SR for Giratina later tonight when I'm off work to race Rapid Whalelord so no mareep will be torturing me for awhile! Guess I better pull out the tally paper though -_-

SHINY TREECKO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I was watching a dvd while soft resetting, and it had just come to a funny part so i wasn't paying any attention to the game, and i was just pressing b to move the battle along and i heard the shiny sound, i thought wtf? looked down and there it was, i sat staring at it for about five minutes, not quite believing it was there but it was, so i leered the poochyena until it ran away and then saved the game.

It only took 228 resets, i have never had a shiny come that fast, never mind a shiny starter.

I'll edit with pics when i've uploaded them.
