4th Gen Official HGSS Shiny Pokemon Thread

[Powerflare]

I've yet to see any Shinies apart from Gyarados in HG/SS yet. However, I've met many more in the past. My first was Shiny Golbat in Ruby. Later I found a Shiny Pidgey in Fire Red. I also found a Shiny Wooper in Diamond. Years ago, my friend was foolish, so just by me trading the legendary dogs and Regis (this was before FR/LG, so the only way for the dogs was Colosseum, but I could just restart) and I got a shiny Castform, Meowth, and Pikachu (not all were his, some he traded for from his friends). Also, as I was testing my ROM hack once (mind you, I DID NOT mess with the shiny encounter rate), I got a Shiny Torchic. I count that one, too, and actually copied the save file from the hack and put it onto another Ruby ROM to actually play.

I'm currently looking for some Shinies in SoulSilver. Hopefully I'll find one soon...

It's impossible to get a Shiny Celebi unless you hack it because Celebi is only available from events so far, and all those events are made so it can't be shiny.

Lol alright then :3

To keep this post from being spam, I have caught a Shiny Zubat in Soul Silver before and saw a Shiny Slowpoke, which I ran from by accident. >__>;

In my old HG game (before I lost it), I was SRing for a Timid Mewtwo. On the third reset, it came up shiny; when I caught it, it was Timid, but didn't have the IVs I wanted (I kept it anyway). In my current SS game, I ran into a shiny Tentacool while looking for Seel; it was Quiet (which wasn't I wanted) when I caught it; I kept it, though.

I've been searching for a shiny Zubat/Golbat for a while. I used to have a shiny Crobat in Diamond that I really liked... hard to find another.

I have yet to encounter a shiny in HG, my luck seems off.

Is it possible to chain pokes in heart/soul without the radar? if it is then wouldnt it be possible to chain slowpokes in slowpoke well by surfing in level 1? As they are their 100%!

 

[TheWishmkr]

I caught the rarest shiny pokemon ever in my Heartgold,
A RED GYARADOS It even waited for me in sprite form so i could catch it...

the morale from this, i havent seen a shiny in my HG yet except the red Gyarados
Im training for the pokemon league in victory road maybe a shiny Rhyhorn or a shiny Donphan will appear? please <3 haha :)

[Darksun]

I have never ever caught a shiny. Never. I'd love to get my first shiny in Black and White.

 

[Mcguinness3]

I reset nearly 100's of times for shiny lugia. Sadly, was not ment to be and i just wanted to carry on playing the game. However i did manage to get a shiny Geodude at random, so it's not all bad :)

 

[BestBagon]

[Gentlemen]

Shiny Milotic (had to trade since you can't get em ingame...had to fight Misty again so that it could be recorded in my dex before going to the gtc...grrrr)

No, there is no chaining in Heart Gold/Soul Silver. Even if there was, you can't chain in caves or on water, only in grass.

There is, however, a PokeRadar (the item that allows chaining) in the PokeWalker, but it does not work the same way in the PokeWalker as it does in DPPt.

In the PokeWalker, if you have a special SID/ID (which is very rare) you can have a 1/32 chance of getting a shiny. But this happening is very rare. Probably rarer than an actual shiny in game. XD

strangely, I found shiny Pokemon a lot on the old Gold version. I had a shiny rattata, pidgy, and magikarp. none in HG though. I'm trying breeding though with that one method which I can't remember the name of. You know the one where you mix the nationalities. (woo french eevee!)

Ahh ok, i appreciate the response thankyou.

 

[Clefairies]

I really hope I come across a shiny when I go back to my SoulSilver game, would be great (:

I still have alot of grinding to do before I even attempt red so *fingers crossed*

 

[double trouble!]

I caught a shiny Golbat a few months ago in Victory Road.
I haven't used it yet.
