My boyfriend just caught a shiny staravia today :) I wish I could catch some shinies now!

I'm new to Shiny Hunting, and unfortunately I've never been lucky enough to randomly find a Shiny in the wild. So all I've got is a Scyther I got last night with the Masuda Method after 138 hatches. It's a Careful nature. It's not exactly what I was looking for, but it's pretty good. Still need to check the IVs.

 

[KODAH]

I don't know how to use any method of getting shinies. I just trade to get them.

 

[gorgono]

First two shinies ever were this week :D

Shiny Absol
Brave Nature
Likes to eat.

It'll make a good sucker puncher at least

I got this one from a freind on here:

Shinx
Jolly nature
Lvl 1. :D

I found a shiny ghastly in the wild and caught it. I've seen a shiny wheezing but it 'sploded. And i got a red gyarados earlier on gts

 

[Rapid-ash]

i have a shiny rhyhorn and i didnt cheat to get it and i didnt use a poke radar, i dint do anything i was just walking throught the grass and i found a pink rhyhorn, it was on platinum.

i caught a shiny rhyhorn on platinum it was my first and last so far it i pink i love it

 

[Kai Yamato]

Caught Heatran, didn't think I could make it but I managed to succeed. I tried my luck with Regigigas... and failed horribly when it killed itself. Maybe bringing a Spiritomb in to be immune to all of its attacks was a bad idea since it has Pressure. x.x;

Aw well, I might have to raise myself a False Swiper and Paralyzer like in my HGSS.

 

[PokeWe]

In Silver I encountered Shiny Pinsir.

LG I caught shiny Swinub.

D/P/Pt I've gotten: Starly, Bidoof, Roselia, Magnemite and maybe that's it. I was dang close to Snover and Meditite though.

I've never found any shinies that were legit, but I have a question. If you see a pokemon not shiny, will that species ever be shiny Without resseting? And is it true that if you breed japanese pokemon, the egg has a higher chance of being shiny?
Now for a shiny story: my friend was playing HG on an emulator, no cheats were on that affected shinies, and the first wild poke he saw was a shiny sentret. unfortunately, this was before he got any pokeballs... sucks for him

 

[HaloSonic]

in Gen 4, caught a Ponyta and Nosepass (and I was looking for a shiny of a differnet pokemon when i found nosepass)

 

[enderalex]

I'm not really sure what you mean in your first question, but the second is true, and it only requires one foreign parent, not specifically Japanese.

 

[MrsNorrington]

I just bred my first shiny ever!

Eevee. He's beautiful <3

Omg I bred another shiny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't wait to evolve him into Flygon!!!

in my first question, say you saw a nonshiny starly. will you ever see a shiny starly without deleting your save file and starting over?

 

[Unionhack]

To start things off, how many Shinys do you guys have? I am up to 39 Shinys (excluding duplicates of one Shiny, of course).

I've got 26 so far. I'm so glad I've learned how to chain. Two of them are at level 100 and are on my main team.

How did you breed shiny pokemon?

Congratulations! I actually have 3 shiny Eevees due to chaining them, but I've never bred a shiny before.

How did you breed shiny pokemon?

When an egg is laid in the day care center, it has the same 1/8192 chance of being shiny as regular wild pokemon do. When the egg is laid, its shiny status is decided right off the bat, and not when it hatches. You basically have to be lucky. Don't try saving right before it hatches either, because the shiny status is determined at the laying of the egg.

 

[Weavile05]

no one has answered my question. D:

 

[amberfunk]

Yes, of course you can find a shiny of any wild pokemon even if you have seen it as non-shiny first. Finding a shiny in the wild in very low so of course you are going to run into a lot of non-shinies before you find a shiny.
