    Don't!! It gets too addicting and takes up a huge load of time. I spent 5 hours yesterday night, staying up trying to get the Shiny little bugger but got absolutely nothing. BTW, Quirky Nature is the best nature for Charmander in my opinion.

    Back on Shiny discussion...

    I have yet to train my Shiny Milotic because of the Shiny Charmander. When I do get that Charmander though, I will probably beat the game and THEN train the Shiny Milotic... How should I EV train Milotic anyone??

    ofcourse you're allowed to talk about the odds... anything about shiny pokemon. ANYTHING that's on topic. even the evens :P

    I THINK i know a way to get shiny pokemon easier, please don't start an arguement and fight if it's wrong... try and get a shiny ditto, then you may breed the pokemon you want to, and if the other pokemon is a shiny, you're odds of catching a shiny will shorten even more to becoming even. so when you breed you'll have more of a chance to get a shiny baby lvl 5!!!
    is that story true?

    Are you mad? Quirky is a Neutral Nature.

    Depending on what you plan to do with Charizard, you want to raise either speed or special attack... Go with Hasty or Mild. Other Charizard options are totally up to the move set you plan on giving it.

    Yeah I ended up going with Hasty. Thing is, I didn't EV Train him (no patience early in the game). He is quite fast (pidgeys and rattatas) with a good amount of HP (caterpie/Weedle)

    Do you have any pictures?

    I'm hunting for shiny Latias again. Can you guys believe that I've been soft resetting for it for 10 months? It's ridiculous...oh, and I got another FR because I lost my old one, so I'm using it to soft reset for a shiny Squirtle. Wish me luck.

    On my (now lost) Pokemon Ruby version game, I caught a shiny Swablu on route 115. I also caught a shiny Oddish at the Safari zone. I never expected to catch two shinies on that game.
    Oddly, I've never found a single shiny on my Emerald game.
