3rd Gen My bad shiny luck

[electricgrass]

I am unlcky on shinies because the only shiny I've caught is the red gyrados. the reason I say this is that I have helped a friend catch a shiny tentacools when he was trying to cathc the regi's in emerald while I am shinyless

I say this because on my emerald I found a shiny geodude in team magma's lair but it self destucted :( :(

And today i found a shiny chansey in the safari zone and it ran!! :( :( :( :( :(

These are the reasons I think that either my game hates me or I'm very unlucky

 

[vonboy]

how many hours of playtime did you put into the game? it usually takes 80-100 hours of playtime to see a shiny.. altogether, i probaby gave like 350 hours playtime on my games, and i've only seen one shiny. i caught it, but i lost my game a few days after. i've been lookng for three months, and i still can't find my poor sapphire game :(

 

[Happy Dude]

Meh,It's only shiney they won't give you any special mystical powers or anything.

next time this should go in shiney discussion at the top of the page.

 

[Eon-Rider]

That is some bad luck you have... Good luck on getting one!

Tch. Chances are 1 in 8192, the only shinies I have are red Gyarados an' a green Golbat, an' I was around when my friend caught a gold Caterpie, but all those are on my emu, no shinies on my real GBA actually. Tch. Paradoxally, if ya want a certain pkmn ta be shiny the easiest shinies ta catch are tha legendaries -- save before ya battle 'em an' with alot o' patience an' luck ya'll get one. ^_^ ...except for Lati@s an' tha 3 dogs that is... which are probably tha hardest ta catch shinies since they're only generated once a game. ^^;;

Well one thing ya should know -- tha more un-shiny pkmn ya meet, tha more yar chances increase of findin' a shiny -- err, it's tha law of average... ^^;;

the only shinies i have seen are the red gyrados and a goldish pinsir, which i encountered in the bug catching contest, but which got away.

To answer the time question. on emerald my time is 68:27 but I found the shiny before I beat the E4.my Leaf green time is 17:01 and I only have 4 badges

 

[alakazamisbest]

i have been playing for almost 75 hours and have not saw one shiney(fire-red)

 

[QFred]

I've played for a lot'a time amd still not one lil' shiney!!

I think it is around 90 hours!!

 

[Sithre]

In my silver game i had 475hours logged and no shinies! But just last night on my Fire red game i saw my first, in the trainer tower. A green umbreon...

And I thought my 83 hours and no shinies was high...

In my silver game i had 475hours logged and no shinies! But just last night on my Fire red game i saw my first, in the trainer tower. A green umbreon...

that umbreon is always there in double battle

 

[Sapphire Skitty]

It's an espeon, not umbreon.

Anyways, I don't think games can hate people. And the reason you can't catch a shiny is cuz they either die or run, which is nobody's fault but the pokemon's. Just keep trying and I'm sure you'll catch one! ^_^ I only have one shiny; my yellow vulpix. I've also seen a shiny Girafrig in the SF. But if you'v seen two shinies, then you'll see lots more!

when i got my ruby on the day it came out just my luck the shiiny i found was before you even get your pokeballs.

 

[ArKiVe]

Yeah that's kinda bad luck. But i've only found one shiny so that's pretty bad too i'm assuming. It's nothing special, just a shiny orangey/redy Cacturne. <_<'

 

[The Fallen]

Sorry you haven't caught one but you will eventually. Good Luck!
