4th Gen Do you battle with your shinies?

[Nacon]

i got a shiny kabuto off this guy and it has these IVs

Its also lonely ( + atk - def

27 atk
31def
25spd

those are averages

not bad at all... if it's legit, lady fate was on your side.

Shinys make the battle more interesting. I use them whenever I can.

 

[~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~]

I dont treat them any different from any Pokemon, unless if there my favorite Pokemon like I have a shiny Banette, but I treat a regular Banette the same as well


:t354:TG

i dont have that many shinies, i dont care about nature or ivs for battling, you can do the whole e4 on 2 pokemon with revives and max potions, the only reason i want strong, legit pokemon is for battling online on pbr

 

[Chibaymega12]

yeah, i have about 20, i noob battle with one, and thats my red gyarados, it's got good ivs:slightly above average, and i caught it myself, so i know it's legit, but i forgot the nature, i'm not sure if it's a good one thogh

 

[Rosefrost]

The title says it all. Leave comments.

I never use my shiny.....

 

[gotron228]

I had a few shinies on the japanese version of the game but I just collected them and never used them to be honest there like every pokemon only just a different tone.

 

[Faceless*]

No, never EVER use them in teams. I use them to trade for Pokemon with Good IV's or EV trained one. To me, Shiny Pokemons are uglier than the regular Pokemon.

 

[Kreaps]

Shinies, honestly are too rare for me.
I've seen a few browsing GTS, but the offers are insane (No I don't want to give you a level 100 Bidoof, as if anyone would actually raise one to that level.)
The only one I've encountered was a Graveler, Adamant Nature but I never really liked it. I gave it to a friend who liked to randomly spam GEODUUDE, though.

 

[Znale]

No, because all of my shinies SUCK. And I don't feel like battling with shinies would be cool anymore. If I had a Weezing with triple flawless IVs, and a shiny Weezing with double flawless, I'd use the regular Weezing. Battling with shinies was cool, but because you see them so often nowadays, it's not even funny anymore.

 

[Angelic Diablo]

I use one shiny for battles... My shiny adament Gyarados, with half decent IVs as well

 

[Virtual Headache]

Actually I don't have any shinies in D/P, but if I did, I wouldn't touch them.
They'd simply be too precious to do so. What if I trained them wrong? I wouldn't get a chance to receive another Pokemon like that any time soon.

 

[Dorynator]

The only shiny I use in D/P is my scizor, which has decent IVs and nature. Luckily, I also know its legit, as I caught it myself as a scyther.
But I only use it in n00b battles, my regular scizor is much better.

 

[Ichida]

I don't bother with shinies at all. Most shinies are the wrong nature, making them unsuitable for combat.

 

[Shem]

I use my shinies sometimes, but only in the random Wi-Fi of PBR, and against new players who want to see some of "the awesome." >.>

I do EV-train the shinies I like, but I would never use them in serious battles...unless I actually caught a good one myself.

Yeh thats about the only time i use shinies too, i used to have a decent shiny charizard but i traded that for my darkrai wich i feel is much more fun to show off on pbr...I love my darkrai

No, never EVER use them in teams. I use them to trade for Pokemon with Good IV's or EV trained one. To me, Shiny Pokemons are uglier than the regular Pokemon.

True some are but some look alot better like rayquaza or ghastly

 

[Harwinder]

I had a couple of shinies on my old game, but never used them. Simply because, THEY SUCK.

 

[Mewstor]

Yeah, sometimes if I feel like it. A rare few of my shinys are EV trained and most have terrible IV's so they are only for friendly fun battles :)

 

[GenPirate]

I don't have any :( I just beat the third gym lol.

 

[Shortybt15]

i have none lol....... i wish i had a black charizard

 

[Maple Meganium]

I mostly hunt for shinies based on looks, so most of mine are UUs, and most of them also have bad natures. Dialga, Weavile, and (possibly) Porygon2 are my only ones who'd stand much of a chance, and I'd use them when convenient. Dialga is my most competitively viable one, stat-wise, but ubers are banned from most environments. =/ My Weavile is Adamant, but might do alright with a Scarf.

I should go track down some shiny OUs that don't need Egg Moves. >=]
