3rd Gen Shiny Pokemon

[awkwardsilencer]

any hints for where to look for them?

I know someone asked this but can two non-shinys breed a shiny? I don't think anyone answered that question.

Yes, two non-shinys can breed a shiny, but the chances are the same as catching one. A very low chance. Breeding a shiny with a non-shiny doesn't even work anymore.

The breeding shiny trick with non-shiny Pokemon doesn't work actually. Since shininess is made up of IVs, and IVs are inherited from the parents, if the parents weren't shiny, there's not a hope of the baby being shiny. The only way to get a shiny via breeding is if both parents are shiny. The odds are still 1 in 16 though... I'm not sure if you're prepared to wait that long...

i found a shiny rhyhorn in the safari zone, it ran away... i was sad at first, but then i realized that rhyhorn really sucks... so i'm ok now... but i do need a shiny gengar. those idiots at nintendo made the normal one purple. now i need the shiny one so that it's black like it's supposed to be.

You can't breed shiny Pokemon. It will say "Briming with energy" or something like that. You can get a shiny from breeding two non-shinies, but it is very rare. It would be the same as finding one in the wild

Agh... stupid me. I meant one shiny Pokemon *is having a bad day today... stupid tests* *hits self for the second time*. With one shiny, the odds are something like one in 16... although I haven't checked the guide in ages...

Thanks for letting me know so I won't waste my time.

1 in 16? There is no way that it is that easy. It was 1 in 64 in g/s/c when IV's count, but in r/s IV's don't count with odds of shinies, so it's much harder. Add a few zeros to that 16. ;)

EDIT: Your welcome, Gardevoir352. :)

I thought the odds were 1 in 6725 for R/S?

I think we will probably all agree that I am *extremely* lucky when it comes to shiny Pokemon. Because I must have nearly a box-full on my Ruby and Sapphire (combined).
Okay, okay, so I restarted for Rayquaza, and actually took the time to restart for a shiny Treeko egg, but still . . . .
Okay, here goes . . . . :
Golbat, which I evolved (Crobats are pink. ARGH!)
Makuhita (tis red-gloved)
Phanpy (just . . . lighter-coloured than normal really)
Slakoth (slight purple tint)
Gulpin (light blue)
Shuppet (bluish-purple-green . . . odd colour)
Kecleon (blue stripe)
Poochyena (goldish)
Ralts, to Gardevoir (light blue instead of green)
Manectric (black 'stead of blue)
Treeko to Sceptile (light blue)
Rayquaza (black)
Numel (light blue on back)
Machop, female at that (brown)
Meditite (red and tan)
Koffing (blue with purple clouds)
Zangoose (blue markings)
Roselia (black and purple blossoms)
Oddish (lighter green leaves)
Magnemite (grayish magnet tips)
Girafarig (blue spikes)
Trapinch to Flygon (blue replaces dark green)
Aron to Aggron (odd greenish-bluish colour)
Voltorb to Electrode (blue instead of red)
Staryu to Starmie (blue with redish gem)
Vulpix to Ninetales (silver)
Relicanth (bluish)
Regice (lighter more "icey" blue)
Over 230 hours logged play time combined for both games.
*pets the Rayquaza and Sceptile, the first two that got to level 100, said because I uploaded to Colosseum to double-level them. ^_^*

Yeah, so many people have so few shineys, yet you had so many. It disgusted me so much that I left a clone in your gameboy and escaped! :donut:

 

[Flygon trainer]

well, I have a shiny doduo on R/S, and a shiny Scizor on my Crystal. Shineyelectrode, ever consider becoming a salesman.. it's all your fault that I spent HOURS searching for a shiny scyther in the first place...

Um . . . Qua? That was odd . . . . You left a clon---How would it fit? And I do most of my leveling on GC now anyways . . . .

 

[Frostweaver]

I thought the odds were 1 in 6725 for R/S?

and I thought that it was always this high in both versions... as you need to be of a certain IV to be shiny in the past (roughly around the same i thought)

What about me made you look for a shiny scyther? Don't tell me about that in attack of the legends, that was off of the top of my head... Or did you want that green Scizor, which IS the shiny color?

Um . . . Qua? That was odd . . . . You left a clon---How would it fit? And I do most of my leveling on GC now anyways . . . .

You remember that old "Clone your pokemon" trick for RBY/GSC?

 

[Flygon trainer]

how would I know? all I know is that suddenly, i was obsessed...

 

[Raptress]

Ohhhh, hehe. All those are R/S ones. And I thought the clone trick was only GSC and not RBY. . . .
Did anyone here ever notice that the shiny colours change a little/a lot when uploaded to Colosseum? Flygon looks really bad (icky green-yellow colour and the blue turns dark green) and Ninetales isn't silver anymore . . . . It's really disappointing; they looked so good on the Gameboy. . . .

Shiny Spinda caught yesterday. Might raise it for a gimmick fighter. ;)

 

[Flygon trainer]

so you're saying that putting them on colloseum takes thier 'shiny' quality? sad. very sad.
