3rd Gen Shiny Pokemon

[Frostweaver]

that i'm not so sure as i never cared about shiny (most of the time the shiny pokemon is even uglier than the normal one... x_x). In the past you definitely can breed shiny because being shiny depends upon IV. In Ru/Sa i don't think shiny is calculated by IV anymore (but i don't know how it's calculated...)

It has it's own random value, that it shares with gender and Unown shape. ^_^

Hey, congratulations! That's a tough capture too, because it could have self-destructed on ya.

Hey, didn't really think about that. I just threw a great ball at it and it was couth right away. I guess I am lucky! Fwew!

...shiny?

Maybe I'll sound kind of silly asking this...but how DO you get a shiny Pokemon? Is it just random?

 

[DragonTrainer]

There is no true way to get a shiny.It's pretty much random, and a matter of luck.

Uh, I think you only actually own about three of these... you only have the colors for the Oddish, Tentacruel, and Alteria correct. The shining Pika I'm not qite sure, it's colors could be interpreted like that... A Groudon is bright gold, a Gardivoir is sky blue with a red horn, a sceptile is sky blue with red seeds and yellow stripes, a Torchic has a yellow body with red wings, and a Kyogre is purple with red stripes. A swampert is light purple with yellow, but it could be interpreted as pink, so I'll give you that one. Also, you may have just got the parentheses mixed up, cause some of the colors you have a rigt for a different Pokemon, but I don't know how that could happen.

So, if it's all random, can you catch 2 shinies of the same species, just by walking around having a lot of luck?

 

[DragonTrainer]

Exactly right.If you have the time, you can just walk around grass until you find a shiny.A semi-easy shiny to get is the starter, and kyogre/groudon and rayquaza.Just save before you meet them, and if the'yre not shiny, reload the game.Also, if you find the feebas spot, you can fish at that place until you eventually run into a shiny feebas.

 

[Missingno Baby]

I got the colors messed up. Can't think of all of em'...
Caught:
Shiny Feebas
&
Shiny Regirock
7 hrs....
Last nite 1:23 -8

Wow. I am at the 120 hour mark but I've beaten the elite four many times. What levels are your pokemon at? I bet they are really strong. I once may have seen a Kecleon with a blue stripe instead of red but I did not know that that was how shiny Kecleon looked. :'(

Did you catch it? That was a shiny Kecleon! Their not purple like many people think, your lucky to have even seen one.

 

[PokeTrainerCarol]

nope...I have never run into a shiny Pokemon except one place. Could you guess where?
