WOOOT LOL Finally!! HEATRAN IS MINE!!!! lol here's what happened.
I was just posting a new message on the boards here and I looked at the coming Heatran...Red My eyes widened and then I saw the stars circle it, "SHINY!!!" and as promised I jumped around crazily in joy :D I went on to catch it. Hard battle, But my ultimate strategy worked in the end hehehe.
Most essential Move
That's right
TRICK!!!
What item was my Alakazam holding? why none other than the magnificent
FOCUS SASH
Hehehe that's right, An item that you must sacrifice but you can potential get it every 3 days anyways. I call this strategy "TrickSashing" So I tricked Heatran into holding Focus Sash, then switched in my lv73 Empoleon holding choice specs. I then Attacked with Surf...oh noes, its gonna be knockedz out!! oh oh oh wait Heatran held on using its Focus Sash!! And that's how you bring something down to exactly one HP in 2-3 turns :p The battle from there was all unlucky for me, it knocked out my first sleeper Gengar with one Lava Plume, then I sent in Bibarel and yawned it. Started chucking Dusk Balls.
It escaped each time and eventually KOed Bibarel, Sent in Heatproof Bronzong, Heatran used Iron head while I picked hypnosis, Heatran of course is faster and made bronzong flinch, then a Critical hit Lava plume KOed Bronzong. Sent in Empoleon again and Revived gengar. Chucked Duskballs until it KO'ed empoleon and switched in gengar, used hypnosis, but it missed grrrr. Iron head. Gengar was KOed!! Argh down to my last poke, Alakazam. I used revive again to not be left with one poke, so I revived empoleon. I used thunder wave and paralyzed heatran. It used Scary face. Then I used Alakazam's Trump defense against heatran. Role Play!! It copied Flash fire so Heatran could no longer damage alakazam with fire attacks. I kept chucking dusk balls. Nothing. Most of the time it didn't even shake. I was counting down its attacks and I thought for sure I'd have to use the master ball. It finally KOed Alakazam with Iron Head. I sent in Empoleon. Used a revive again on bibarel so as Not be left with one poke. Used up my last 2 Dusk balls (had 25 to begin with) and Heatran had used 30 of its possible 55 attacks. The next best thing to dusk ball was Timer balls, So I chucked one...shake..shake..shake and it was CAUGHT!!! Wooo shiny #45 I nicknamed it Volcanica (*coughBleachreferencecough*

Shining Pokedex!
Caught in timer, too bad it wasn't dusk :p
Its a miracle! SYNC Worked!! Modest!!
STATS!!! gotta go calculate IVS..
Wow lol I'm still shaking, I can't believe it finally appeared...25 days of SRing for it, I stopped counting how many hours total I've done for it lol I think maybe 125+ Hours? I do at least 5 hours of Sring per day mostly. Lol I think I'll focus on Shieldon on pearl now. Heatran looks so cool...but its hot o_O Lol Good luck to everyone else Sring for heatran or other legends!
