4th Gen Official HGSS Shiny Pokemon Thread

[caridizzle]

they always seem to pop up when you least expect them to :)

 

[dozo]

=[ I've never had a shiny other than the Red Gyrados
It kills me insides!

 

[penguinseatsocks]

I caught a shiny Goldeen about a month ago. Aside from the red Gyarados, it is so far the only shiny I obtained myself.

 

[jab2033]

I played Gold Version back when it first came out. Caught a shiny Caterpie and fully evolved it. I also caught a Shiny Wingull in Emerald.

Other than that...

Nothing in HG yet, save the Red Gyarados.

 

[Syvelocin]

Yeah, I've played Pokémon for around eight years, owning seven of the games, and other than the red Gyarados, I've seen and caught one shiny, my shiny now Arbok (caught it as a lvl 4 Ekans) in SS.

Sucks...

Might be trying the Masuda Method once I can get my hands on a foreign Ditto. I've used the GTS a lot, though I don't remember which Pokémon I got are from where, except for my Japanese ones but none of them are too interesting to try for a shiny... I think though I'd feel better if it was a Japanese Ditto, since they're quite obviously Japanese. I don't think I'd want to risk using one from somewhere else unless I was 100% sure that it's foreign, which you can't really be unless the name is Japanese...

Currently SRing for a shiny starter done 400 SR's so far in one day.

^ Wow, what a waste, wouldn't that take some of the fun out of it? But I guess it's the only way. I'd be so sick of Pokemon by the time I was done soft-resetting that many times I'd think. Probably not, but still...

It just doesn't seem that worth it, I'd rather get a truly random shiny than spend so much time manipulating the game to get one.

I'm sick of doing the usual as in going through the game with a normal pokemon and rarely encountering a shiny at all.
Don't get me wrong i don't sit in a corner and do it, i play xbox, watch tv or do homework when doing my soft resets so it doesn't bother me, in my eyes its determination and its a good feeling to have shinys with your OT on them.

Yesterday I caught my very first ever hunted shiny. After giving up on SR for Hooh I decided to get Moltres and in only 172 SR I got it :) I have never been bothered with shinies, giving up waaaay too easily but hopefully this find will motivate me to start hunting. I was so surprised when I looked down at my DS to see a shiny Moltres. I swear I passed away for a second. I caught it with my Masterball I was saving for Suicune.

[King Gumball]

Wow! Mega congrats to you! You are really lucky ^-^

Thank you :) I was so happy to get it so early <3

I am currently using the Masuada mathod for a shiny Farfetch'd, around 130ish I think... Good luck on your shiny Tsutarja BTW

 

[bobandbill]

I was playing a grass-type runthrough a while back and encountered this, and successfully caught:

Spoiler:

One I hadn't gotten before which was neat. I was doing a bit of training in Victory Road when it popped up, heh.

 

[Kimicatdemon]

I was looking for a dunsparce yesterday and I kept running into geodudes and zubats.

I looked away from my ds to talk to my brother, and looked back down and saw another geodude... and yet something didn't feel right...

....I then noticed it was shiny. I caught it and her name is Pebbles. I am very happy about this. It's my second wild caught shiny~!

Spoiler:

Ironically enough, the pokemon at the head of my party was Slowking... I GUESS WE BOTH SHARE A BOND ABOUT BEING A BIT SLOW TO CATCH THINGS? 8D

 

[chiperoo]

I caught a shiny tentacool in SS before I even knew what a shiny was lol. I also got a shiny slakoth from the GTS. IDK if its legit or not but idrc haha.

 

[Pikachu-dance!]

i was on platinum looking for a buizel to replace my floatzel on heartgold (because my brother evolved it when shouldent have been on my dsi) and i walked into the grass and it was shiny! i was like YES YES YES YES YES! and i used my masterball (which i traded from heart gold) (used my platinum one on giratina) and caught it (duh) Yay!

 

[Seki]

YAY! Had my first shiny(EVER), a shiny sentret after fighting the rival,
But still hunting for a shiny snorlax...
