Oooo, cool! What're you gonna hunt for? Just a generic hunt? Those are kinda fun because it's a bit like a grab-bag. *Tauros hunt*

No joke, I found it.


Congrats Aaryn. Well all thats left now is a shiny latias, shouldnt be too hard though, I'll start looking for it actually, so that we have a better chance of one :D once again congrats aaryn on your very rare catch and find, guess thats another one for the dex and your card :D yay

Congratulations!!!! I seriously considered doing that hunt (the Power Plant) and I might do it again some day. Is that our first Magnemite? *Checks the Dex* It might be a bit outdated, but from what I see... you've captured a new shiny! *Does the new shiny dance!*

Yeah well i was really mainly looking for pikachu holding a light ball (still no success with that though) Yep, i love the life of shiny pokemon owning :D

If i go to the slot prizes can they produce shinies too?

1- Tips for Shiny Hunting? Well, always carry a decent amount of Pokéballs with you, AT LEAST 99 Pokéballs and some 50 Greats or Ultras, and in case you are broke, maybe just try buying 50 Pokéballs. I also advise you to have a Zigzagoon, Linoone, Meowth, or some other Pokémon with Pick-Up with you if you are going to train something while looking for a Shiny, so you can get some goodies on the way! ^_^
ALWAYS carry your Masterball with you, if you still have it, because there are some Shinies like Pidgeotto, Lairon, Electrode etc, that Roar/Whirlwind/Explode you away, and then you have to say "Goodbye Shiny!" X_x;
If you don´t want to use your Masterball on one of those kinds of Shinies, you could always carry a Lileep or a Cradily around in case the Shiny Pokémon knows Whirwind or Roar, because that will make the move innefective due to Lileep/Cradily´s ability, Suction Cups.
One more thing: If you are going to hunt for a Shiny in the wild, I´d suggest you bring a Pokémon with False Swipe with you, so they don´t faint but you can bring them down to 1 Hp. A cool Pokémon that has got this move is Scyther.

If anyone wants to add something to this, or correct something I did wrong, feel free to do so. XP

2- To get the Trainer Card, come and request one HERE!!

Well, that´s all for the moment, good luck in your hunts and have a nice day everyone!

Yes - I think MM got two shinies that way. For a while I was doing it to get a shiny Clefairy, but that hunt has been picked up by somebody else as I moved on to search for a shiny Tauros...
I might not have school tomorrow, so I might be able to shiny hunt this afternoon without fear of homework. Woot!

Heheheh, no prob, I like helping out mate. ^^

Congrats Crytuf, Shiny Gyarados surely is the coolest Shiny to have, due to obvious reasons. XD!
I also hope your Larvitar army can get a cool mission! XDDDD

And it is indeed true that MM got Shinies from the Game Corner. Sometime ago, I was doing that hunt on FR too, for a Dratini. After a while, I could manage to reset twice AND buying 3 Dratini in a minute, I tell you, it´s not easy!

Well, I am playing the Pokémon TCG GBC version over the computer, ATM, so feel free to ask me anything, because I will still be here and around my fanclub! ^_^

Hiya! Thanks for the congrats guys. Anyways, as ryan said, I welcoemd you in (meaning I admitted you into the club) But its cool having ryan give the final ok.

Anyways, There is nature and stars, there is no cam, I STILL dont have a digital camera. Ive finished studying just now, and I havent touched pokemon since I found latios (3 days) so I dont really remember its stats. Ill look them up tomorrow and post them.

May the hunting continue.

Omg, post that sat but wasn't submitted for a bunch of hours:

OMG, congrats! You're insane! That's 3000 resets at the TV broadcast and tracking the A-hole down? I'm glad it finally payed off; it would be a serious downer to do all those resets yet find nothing.

Aha! You're the one with the corrupt SHC card. I've "fixed" that "bug" since then. Welcome back!

Yup, for sure! That's how I got shiny Porygon and Dratini. :)

No, no! The text is bold and the exclaimation points aren't part of the link. It's more like:
HERE!!!

As for shiny hunting tips, I like to carry at least 100 timer balls at all times. The Timer Ball has a *3 catch rate (as opposed to *2 for the Ultra Ball) if the target is already Owned in your Pokédex. Catching all the kinds of wild Pokémon in your version is very easy. I also carry a random assortment of other Balls, including ones not normally found on the version I keep them on. (for instance, Premier, Dive, and many Net Balls on Fire Red and multiple Luxury Balls on Sapphirie) This gives me the option of catching a particularly easy to catch shiny (Metapod, for instance) in the Ball of my choice.

You should also be prepared for the circumstances. If you're going to hunt in an area with Roaring or Whirlwinding wild Pokémon, bring something with Suction Cups along. If you're going somewhere where things Selfdestruct, bring something with Damp along. The same sorts of things apply to Teleport, Perish Song, Recoil moves, and stuff.

Not much progress. I'll probably reset for El Clefarios on the bus, as I'm about to head out.

Take a break! I've never found a shiny in one sit.

RayquazaMaster: I've pretty much memorized the natures. It's kinda sad.

2 Kecleons seen on Route 121. (I've switched to them since they're more unique.)
