    • I was trying to hatch a female Snorunt for someone & since I had a Froslass in the day care center I figured out of 2 eggs one was bound to be female, so I got my 2 eggs and went to go hatch them. Low and behold the 2nd egg is female AND SHINY! I CANT BELIEVE I HATCHED A SHINY ON MY 2ND EGG. I have been trying forever to hatch a shiny Vulpix. I've gone through idk how many eggs and I get a diff shiny when I dont even try -_- I'm still excited. This is the first shiny I've ever hatched!

    • ARGH!

    Ok, I don't know if anyone else has had this problem, but I have been quite frustrated as far as shinys are concerned. I have logged well 600+ hrs in my pokemon hg and I have yet to EVER see one. The only way I have ever obtained one was people making them for me. I want to make sure I'm not completely insane about this, but is it normal that I haven't seen a shiny yet? Also, I've tried to do the breed method. I've been breeding pokemon an easy 500+hrs of the 600+ with a Japanese Ditto and my pokes and have yet to ever seen one that way either. Am I just unlucky? Or just impatient, because my patience about it is wearing thin T_T

    caught the red Gyarados, obviously, and I kept resetting my game so I could have a shiny Lugia, it worked! I also got a shiny Ratatta, which I raised to level 100 and EV trained XD

    I have two on my HeartGold, a Shiny Manectric and a Shiny Crobat, but both are traded in from a friend of mine who quit playing his Platinum.

    Gonna soft reset for a shiny Kyogre though

    Same story here...given how many of those hours were spent running around in the grass EV training various pokemon, I'm actually surprised I haven't found any shinies at all.

    Given my luck, I'll end up running into a shiny Graveller who will promptly Selfdestruct before I can throw a ball at it. D:

    • Can you guys rub your luck off on me, it's been very sad for me TuT I got my GF and I got HG and SS as a birthday present for her and me and she found a shiny weedle 16 minutes into game play ^^;; so yeah I'm being incredibly patient, I'm just trying to figure out why variables aren't working in my favor. As much as I want to blame my game =P I know I can't, it really all comes down to luck. All I have to say is whenever that little sucker shows up, I have my master ball I've been saving the whole game, for the one moment that shiny pokes its head out to catch and raise it all the way to the top!

    After three years of playing Pokemon games, I found a shiny jigglypuff in the safari zone. I ended up catching it.
    A few days later I saw a shiny clefairy; it got away. :(

    • Ive only ever seen 2 Shinys in my own game and they were Noctowl and Sudowoodo, though this was back on the original Gold version. I caught them both though :)
    It wasnt until I met the shiny garados, i realised what shinys were and that my Sudowoodo was one. lol
