    There is a downside though. I hacked my Eon Ticket and now I cant go back to Southern Island. :( I have an idea that could help you. Slugma isn't that good. In any of your games, find a legendary. Save in front of them, battle, and keep resetting until it's shiny. You'll get there sooner or later. Latias took 3 days.

    You cant go back to Southern Island even if the Eon ticket is legitamate. I hacked mine too, but I DO posses the actual ticket...but with no e-reader...>.>

    Am I the only shiny hunter in the world WITHOUT a shiny Latias or something? Anyways, I finally beat the E4 on my Sapphire version, so I'm SRing for Latios and Latias simultaneously. I have big hands, so I can soft reset for them with one hand at the same time! Hopefully I'll get them soon... Wish me luck.

    Um... no, you're not. I've been a shiny hunter for a while... not in any club or anything, but still. I've been searching since the GS days, but I've never found a shiny besides the red Gyarados. Shiny Latias is my favorite shiny too!

    Well my Shiny Suicune hunt begins tomorrow. A friend of mine is lending me his Fire Red but I may have to restart it. He said it was OK. However I can get to the HoF at any time using the Magic Door Codes at codejunkies.com, which means I can begin the hunt almost immediately. Wish me luck. Oh here's a step-by-step guide for catching a shiny dog:

    0.5) Trade the dog over from another game so you know where to look for him. (If you've already seen him in your game and he isn't shiny, he will never be shiny. Incidentally, if he is shny and escapes, he will remain shiny forever.)
    1) Buy some Max Repel.
    2) Keep searching until you've cornered the dog.
    3) Save.
    4) Use Max Repel and search in the grass until you find him. (For those of you who don't know, Repel will repel all pokemon in the area EXCEPT the legendary dog hiding there.)
    5) If he isn't shiny, reset and repeat step 4 until he is.

    Well that's the way I'll try to catch him. This would also work for Lati@s in R/S/E.

    That WILL NOT WORK for the Latis. The Latis values are set when you watch TV broadcast about them. I've tested this, and I know that I am right. However, I don't know if you could do this for the legendary dogs, but I believe their values are set when you pick your starter, when you beat the E4, or when you get the National Dex. However, their values could be set when you first encounter them. If it's possible, could you try to catch Suicune twice and check its nature? If it's different, then I think I will use the same method to try and acquire a shiny Suicune on myself :)
