    i guess you just need to encounter a single pokemon for a number of times in a row to raise the chance of encountering one
    i got a shiny tentacool and a shiny tauros yesterday!!! :P

    i recommend the coast near cianwood city/route 40 if you want a shiny tentacool as only tentacool and tentacruel appear there
    good luck! :)

  • ^That's not the case unless you are chaining Pokemon with the Pokeradar in D/P/Pt - you were just lucky with finding them. In HGSS the chance is always 1/8192 unless it's the Red Gyarados or you are using the Masuda method (breeding foreign Pokemon which puts the rate of the hatch Pokemon to 1/2048).

  • Encountered a shiny Onix in victory road whilst training, nearly ran away from it aswell, caught it, poisoned with 5 ultra balls or so.

    Rather happy, not encountered a shiny for nearly ten years!
