  • You'll find out who it is sometime tomorrow. I still need to take pics.

    But someone gets to find out earlier than normal because I need to do an IV Battle to figure out the exact IVs of three very promising ones...wanna help, MM?

    Good luck with your secret shiny...however, after you see what mine was, I doubt you'll be impressed with it.

  • I don't think my post registered last night, so I'll do a quick recap.

    1.) Didn't read pages 485 and 486, sry ppls on there.

    2.) Got to Sunyshore in Diamond, procrastinating on battling the Gym Leader (though I'm strong enough).

    3.) Caught Dialga with two Flamethrowers and a Quick Ball on my first try. Great nature for it, and it's character cancels out the stat lowering of the nature ^^ (nicknamed it Pathetic after capturing it XP)

    4.) Nothing new w/ Charmander.

    Night ppls! n.n


    Hiss=- (my new thing, I think)

  • After doing a thorough search through my boxes again, I found out that I really DID catch 18, not 17, so yeah...I'm taking the pics as I type this. But late last night, I traded a Togepi off to my brother (which he traded for a hacked shiny Larvitar), so I really do have 17 now.

    Here's a picture of all them in one box. None of them are normal (believe, the only way I'd catch a normal one is if I were breeding, which I'm not).

    And here are pics of my two shiny Zangoose.

    Edit: Before I do this, do you guys really need to see the stat pages of each and every Togepi? I'm afraid that this'll take up more memory on my computer than I'd like...

  • O..M..F..G.. HAXXORZ! How in the name of shiny Arceus did you catch 18 shinies in one chain, Fufu?! (Well, I can forget about catching up with you anytime soon). And Jolly shiny Zangoose? Nice. Either really lucky or Synchronised. However I have a story to tell, too...

    Well this morning at me Nan's house I went to the Great Marsh to find a Croagunk with Black Sludge to give to my now Lv100 Roserade. I caught 3 in one run, but no sludgie. And after that the lil' devils seemed to keep slipping through my fingertips. However after about 10 minutes I found another Croagunk, and you can guess what kind of Croagunk it was.

    Anyway I left the main room to concentrate. I threw my bait while begging her, "stay with me, stay with me," and...Phew. Still there. Then I threw my Safari Ball and...YESH! Me-sa caught it, and I will upload pics ASAP. I named her "Slippy" after the Starfox frog of an unknown gender, and left the Marsh. So now, Safari Zone inc. has repaid its debt to me of 1 Rare shiny. About time, after the whole Dratini incident on LeafGreen which, I will only say, left me cursing non-stop for half an hour.

    When I looked up her stat screen I noticed Slippy was also holding Black Sludge. w00t! 2 birds, 1 stone. I could not be happier. So there you go Fufu. You may have got 18 shinies by chaining but I caught a shiny out of sheer luck...in Shiny Hell itself (aka: the Safari Zone), so we're sorta even. My Nan's house is really lucky, as that is also where I found my 2 Bagons.

  • Congrats, Ed, but Slippy is male. He had a fiancee (who was quite empirically a female) in Starfox Command.

    I hope I never find a shiny in the Safari Zone, at least for D/P. There aren't many shinies from there that I like (except Croagunk), and I'd much rather breed for one with good IVs. I don't have luck finding random shinies like that anyways, so I never worry about going to the Safari Zone.


    Edit: I don't have any Ice type shinies, and that is something I'd like to change. Snorunt is the only one of interest that I can easily hunt (I would go for Articuno, but you guys know the situation with that Pokemon), so yeah, Snorunt is my next target. Once I get it, THEN I'll hunt for Manaphy. I'm going to finish EV training my shinies first, though.

    I'm starting to feel as if the PokeRadar is spoiling me, at least on my Diamond version.

    ok 3 days ago my cousin traded me his ampharos to me so that i could use static to find pachirisu a bit easier. after 2 days guess what i found myself? a shiny male pachirisu! i stole my moms camera and got some pics now i just need to steal her USB cord too (her camera takes pretty clear pics)anyways here are its stats:

    Shocka the pachirisu
    Male (my other one was female which seemed appropriate for a shiny pachirisu)
    Caught @ level 7 in valley windworks (currently level 11)
    Impish nature
    HP 26
    Attack 13
    Defense 17
    Sp. Atck 10
    Sp. Def 19

  • Wow nice job on the 18 shiny togepis Fufu! Lol Crazy chains. Heh MM I know exactly what you mean by the random breaking of chains. I keep trying but alot of the time it just breaks randomly for no good reason (even though I follow the supposed rules). Go to a patch, it has the pokemon I'm chaining, I beat it and then afterwards the radar's stopped for no reason, arghhh. Lol Fufu good luck with snorunt, I plan on going for a female one later :p Right now I'm Sring for Rotom...

  • A slight change of plans has occurred!

    Chaining for Snorunt is way too hard for me to try, at least for now. I'm sure I could get used to chaining there, but is late (or very early, I should say), and I'm not ready to have a load of chain broken at unbelieveable low levels. It would frustrate me to no end. So I'll chain for something else. I'm not expecting to get a shiny tonight, I'd just like to get a chain started.

    I bought 999 Max Repels, 999 Super Repels, and 201 Repels, and I plan on buying more Repels (as soon as I get more money, I'm currently at about 500,000 PokayMunney). As you can see, I'm pretty prepared. There's just one problem...

    I don't know who to hunt for! Any suggestions?

    Edit: Just found a shiny patch at a chain of 11.

    Unbelieveable.

    Of course, I'm going to catch this, and see how much longer I can make this chain go. I really want to get 20 or more of this Pokemon shiny (for IV purposes).

    Good luck, everyone. I'll take a pics of this particular shiny because it's so unexpected...

    And with that, I will raise my chain up one more, and call it a night...it's 5:48 AM where I live, lol.

    Ladies and gentlemen, may I please introduce you to my secret shiny:

    Spoiler:


    I closed my DS on that 31-chain I had from last night and continued it today. The shiny patch was waay up in the top right corner of the patch where it could easily be missed or mistaken for a regular flash. I did spot it from the recognizable four sparks that I saw on the patch which contained shiny Seviper, so off I went with my Adamant Syncher in hand. The only problem is that a couple weeks ago, I found that Sneasel can only learn Ice Punch from breeding, so I'm stuck without a half-decent Physical Ice STAB move. Why are shinies always doomed to inferiority? :(

    After finding him, I tried to get the chain as high as I could and it broke at 36 on a Bibarel. I'm really amazed that it wasn't Psyduck, as Psydick is the most responsible for breaking my chains in the past. I'm just glad that my L72 Seviper and Electivire don't have to slay any more Sneasel. Too bad I can't say the same for Electabuzz, who'll be killing a fair few more Mareep.

    I partially recorded a video, so I'll review and edit it, then post it if it's any good. I recorded the rest of my chain so you can plainly SEE that I didn't do anything wrong!

  • So here are the pics of my Croagunk:

    croagunk1vy8.jpg


    croagunk2nh5.jpg


    I checked out her IVs...they suck. I don't really care for Toxicroak that much anyway, so meh.

    Congrats to all who got shinies since my last post. So your secret shiny was Sneasel, huh MM? Well, glad you finally got it.

  • Shiny Sneasel, nice! I never would've guessed. Congrats.

    Nice pics, Ed.

    Well, my chain is progressing slowly. This shiny I'm chaining is a shiny that not many people have, so it's a bit special to me...well, that, and I'm trying to make a shiny team. I already have enough shiny Pokemon of my own to make one, but I would like my shiny team to have a certain amount of synergy. Then again, I have to actually decide on a team first, lol...good luck, everyone!

    Okay, I've found my shiny Sneasel's IVs and they are:
    HP: 3
    Atk: 5
    Def: 30
    SpAtk: 3
    SpDef: 16
    Speed: 24

    Only just now did I realize that Weavile ought to be Jolly. I'm thinking of a Choice Band set along the lines of:
    @CB:
    252Atk/240Spd/12HP (12HP for 256HP stat)
    -Ice Shard
    -Pursuit
    -Shadow Claw
    -Aerial Ace

    AA for Heracross. Should I run Night Slash despite OL for things that stay in? Can other stuff still OHKO Heracross, Breloom, and friends, besides AA? No ice punch because this guy is wild. :(

    Oh, and my next shiny hunting plans will probably consist of SRing for Drifloon, Rotom, and Chikorita. I have no idea why but I'm starting to actually like shiny Rotom! :)

  • Congrats on two shinies, shinyGeo. To soft reset on the DS Lite, Wooty, you must press L, R, Start, and Select simultaneously.

    Well, I finished EV training Togepi...I also evolved it...only two more to go! :( I'll do those later. For now, I'm going to chain something. Good luck, everyone.
