Caught two Shiny Makuhita's earlier. Chain of 34 and then 35. An early Christmas present perhaps.

 

[MindScar]

I remember my first shiny, it was a Bagon from Pearl. That is my only one (that i have acquired without cheating) ;)

I got my game the saturday before christmas and the day before christmas i was walking in the cave towards dialga when i decide to catch a bronzong because i just ran never thought that i need to catch it and i caught one then i carried on going towards team galactic and next battle i find is a green bronzong, my only shiny. where do u get the pokeradar app?

 

[dark charmander]

sady i have no shinys (kinda coz ive never tried and i dont really know how) am goin 2 try 2night though. wish me luck =)

im going crazy i cant find any :@

So I decided to check my swarms and sit down to go shiny hunting again.

Platinum swarm - Spoink
Got a highest chain of 30 and it was ended for seemingly no reason by a Rhyhorn. Doh! Decided to check out my Diamond.

Diamond swarm - Voltorb
What the heck, it's been a while since I've chained. Let me try something easy. I grabbed a 'Static' Electrike, fainted it, and chained my way to 40 on the second try.

x3

Chain ended with a stupid mistake; I used a level 20 Butterfree to sleep/damage the Voltorb so I could catch 'em with PokéBalls. Well I forgot to move the Butterfree back, and the Repels are useless with my first Pokémon a lower level than the wilds.

Impish Voltorb (+Def -Sp. Atk)
Often Lost in Thought.

Sassy Voltorb (+Sp. Def -Speed)
Capable of Taking Hits.

Quiet Voltorb (+Sp. Atk -Speed)

Didn't Synchronize for a Hasty/Timid nature, and it bit me in the arse. Quiet one has great IVs, but it's -Speed nature is just depressing.

 

[Shaterpie]

I got a Geodude to a chain of 50 but only got the 1 shiny which was a shame, I wanted 3 really, so I could have a shiny of each evolution.

 

[Haza]

I caught the Rayquayza today on Emerald but it is Shiny but its nature sucks. I transfered it to pearl already though!

 

[Jord]

I know the basics of catching shiny's, kind of, you use pokeradar but how long do you have to keep the chain going?

Chain -------- Probability ------- One in

You get it when you beat the game and then go to the Pal Park..

For the E4, an evolved team around level 55+ should be fine. Use legendaries, your starter, or if you have wifi, ask for some strong pokemon. Bring a lot of Full Restores, Revives, Moomoo Milks, etc. My team was barely at 50, and even though it took me 6 times, I could do it. xD

No new shinies, but if anyone needs help on chaining, feel free to ask me.

 

[bluesonic1]

Instead of having two stickies dealing with shiny Pokemon, it will be best to consolidate them both into one thread. Here you can discuss chaining to get a Shiny Pokemon, what Shiny Pokemon you've obtained, and how many. If there's a question you need to ask pertaining to how Shiny Pokemon work, you can look at these threads first before posting here:

• Shiny Hunting with the PokeRadar
• What Shiny Pokemon do you Have?
• D/P Simple Q&A
• D/P FAQs

Have fun hunting for shinies.

I had a really prized shiny moment- I had recieved a Manaphy egg from someone over Wi-Fi and I hatched it, it hatched shiny! ^^

 

[thatrabidfangirl]

I once had a shiney... Vulpix, I think. Anyway, I didn't know what it was, got freaked out by it and released it back into the wild. Idiot!

 

[ShinyDratini]

But do u need a 3rd gen pokemon to get in there because i didnt get a 3rd gen 4 sum reason i have crystal and yellow but my red got stolen. Any1 live in south africa who wants to sell a 3rd gen game to me?

 

[Stronkadonk]

I highly doubt this.
BUT it may be possible, but EXTREMELY UNLIKELY.

Well, December 26th, I was hunting a Dialga, and got bored. So I moved over to Uxie. After 12 resets, it was shiny! :O
Although, on one of my old profiles, I did 12,000 resets, without success.
Then, the next day, I was using the tweaking glitch, and managed to get to Darkrai. After 200 resets, that was a shiny too!

 

[~Kavin~]

Just got my hands on a shiny bidoof this morning with a chain of 60 my personal best!

 

[•Icicle•]
