    Oh, really? Well I was bedridden yesterday and today.. and no shinies.. and that's about 24 hours of Pokemon in 48 hours! Really, that's all I got to do.. :( My antibiotics are also screwing with me... but now I have a Pokemon to SR on and I won't be able to continue through until I get it, so... Please, please be shiny weird tree! Weird tree didn't like the WAILMER PAIL! : o weird tree attacked!


    Anyhoo... since it's my first post in this thread.. might as well make it worthwhile... I have a Shiny Ninetails. I caught it as Shiny Vulpix on LG. It's my ONLY Shiny. How long have I been looking? Off and on for a whole year and then some. :( I know. It's sad. And I'm looking for another.. but the future looks so cold... It would be awesome if I could find one ~now~... When I have all the time to do it..

    My shinies:
    Clefable - Crystal
    I heard that it is easier to get a shiny from the egg given in crystal by the daycare people. Dunno if it is true but i did get a shiny cleffa from them.
    Bellossom - Ruby
    I was really tired when i was just running thorugh under the bikcycle road even thou I had a bike. And then i ran into the shiny oddish and first i thought... Just another oddish... but when i looked closer I saw it was a SHINY!. I caught it easy with an ultra ball. ^_^ Now I am glad that i didn't ride the bike over the bridge.

    Gyarados - Crystal & Gold
    You know where. ^^;;

    Shinies I had:
    Arbok - Silver
    MY FIRST SHINY EVER. I thought it was some kind of glitch and caught and trained it to arbok. O_o And it was still shiny so I just putted it into my pc. However it was my friend's silver and the battery IN the game was low so it lost the save file. -__-
    Wigglytuff - Silver
    Another time I restarted silver I got a shiny jigglypuff on the first road you can get it on. The game vannished when I was in Blackthorn... -__-

    Shinies trying to get:
    Shroomish - Ruby
    I want a SHINY SHROOMISH. They look so cool. I hope I get an adamant one. I have been hours in the forest and breeded for hours. I guess I have ran into about 100+ shroomish right now. >_>

    It doesn't matter where you find it. It's all completely random, to say the least. We just search in certain areas because the Pokemon appears more or there are other Pokemon around that we'd also like to have Shiny. Take Route 120 in Emerald. Alot of those that are in the grass, I'd enjoy having a Shiny version of them. So I can search and it won't matter which one comes up Shiny. :)

    I agree with markster, I've only ever seen (and luckily caught) two shiny Pokemon. Noctowl in Silver and Nidorina in Leaf Green. Any tips on catchin 'em?? I heard somewhere you have to play 60hrs.... Is it true??

    A quick question. Ok, so I am looking for a shiny starter. When you click on the Pokeball to look at the Pokemon when choosing, it shows a picture of the Pokemon. Will you know from that picture wether it is shiny or not or do you have to choose it first to know if it is shiny?

    Nope, you can only check if it's shiny by checking it's stats or in battle.

    and well...I know I've ridiculed Shiny hunters in the past but I decided to see what all the fuss was about...so I saved in front of Rayquaza and reset and I got...Shiny Black Rayquaza.

    For shiny feebas/milotic: go to route 119 and fish there non-stop from old rod to super rod and do this 10-15 times ur choice with each rod and repeat until u even find one but for a normal feebas itz around 50% so for a shiny itz almost 2-5% chance of encounter...
    Note: it actually gets easier if ur reputation in pokemon contest and battles is high and the feeling ur pokemon have towards you so i advise u to make ur pokemon as happy as possible


    can u elaborate on that...i was looking for one but i got through like 1/4 of the lake and gave up...
