The Official Shiny Thread

[Jimmyray]

I'm usually very unlucky with shinies, for example back when I used to play Crystal, I found a shiny Sentret when I had no pokeballs right at the beginning of the game, then when I found the red Gyarados... yup...made it faint. In Diamond however I have come across a shiny Machop, Geodude and Kricketune. Luckily I caught them all :)

This past week I caught a shiny shinx and evolved it to a luxray and named him static. I kinda switched things up and made him a mixray cause many people would assume I'd have a physical attacking one and I like being different! so I'm slowly adding to my collection of shinies!

I only have two shinies, and I just found both of those in random encounters. They're not anything special, just a shiny Starly and Ponyta. Although the Ponyta is pretty cool, as it's flames are blue. I've never really done the whole chaining thing with Pokeradar, but I might try that sometime.

Shiny Pichu question

Will the Shiny Pichu given out at the movie be any more powerful stat wise and moveset wise than a standard Pichu? What about when it evolves into Raichu?

Sorry I've never gotten an event Pokemon before.

I'm not sure if this was the right place to ask this question so mods feel free to move it if it's not.

 

[Calvo819]

theyre giving out Shiny Pichu's?! WAIR!!!!!

I WANT WUN!

 

[HirakuNoShadow]

The shinies that I found so far are a shiny Ditto, Sunkern, Magikarp, Gyarados, Carvanha, Poochyena - all in random encounters :O I fail at Pokeradar ):
