2nd Gen What does this symbol mean on my togepi?

[Erbe]

does this mean the pokemon is "shiny?" because a bunch of yellow stars flash across the togepi before a start of a battle, then the cry.

 

[Minto]

Yep, that's a shiny Togepi. Nice.

 

[Shiori-Hikaru]

Yea, it's shiny.
Lucky. ;D

 

[Luck]

Yeah, its shiny.
another clue to its shiny..ness is that its marks are blue instead of red.
it just looks like a badly drawn shiny star.
it should be on the red gyarados when you get it.
i'm envious of that.

i feel quite lucky! hopefully it is on the red gyrados, any other pokemon i could expect shiny?

 

[WeissRaben]

Everyone. Red Gyarados is the only one that you will absolutely find, the others can be found shiny, but with a one-in-somethinglike 64000 chance. Very, very lucky indeed. ;)

excuse my language.. HOLY SH**! im the furthest thing from lucky! No idea how i couldve pulled this off, but of course i wasnt trying.. if i could id give this shiny togepi to someone who has searched long and hard for one, because i certainly dont deserve it :P

 

[.emerald]

[Erbe]

[WeissRaben]

Don't Togepis bring good luck to the owner? Or were the chansey the one doing that?

 

[jirachistar]

Man, you're LUCKY to have hatched a shiny Togepi. That's awesome!

 

[Zero Avenged]

T_T you have a shiny togepi i love togepi T_T but congrats!

 

[シルバー]

Congratulations on getting the Shiny!

 

[JollyRoger25]

Hey, on the third gen games, does that star thing happen when you get a shiny also??

 

[Erbe]

thanks all for the gratitude ^.^

 

[kazuya.]

Togepi will share the feeling of happiness to the owner and give the owner good luck if well-treated, while Chansey is said to bring happiness when caught.

So congratulation!! Wish you treat this shiny Togepi well and bring more good luck to you! (^_^)

 

[jakeizbeast]

thats weird but cool! I dont know if it means anything!

 

[Luck]

Well, shinies are really hard to find, 1/8192 i think.
shinies were, also, for some reason, easier to get if you breeded a shiny.
say you breeded a red gyarados. the chances of having a yellow magikarp(or whatever its shiny colour is) hatch from the egg would be 1/64. So there may be a chance that the pokemon that made the togepi egg was a shiny.Unfortunately, after that they made the odds the same after 2nd gen.

Hey, on the third gen games, does that star thing happen when you get a shiny also??

yes.
in ruby, the dex number (top left) is yellow instead of white.
and in d/p, there is a * on the top right of the status screen.
but if you are talking about the *** when a shiny enters battle, then yes, it was always like that.

 

[Saltare.]

yep, shiny alright i have 2 shiny togepi

 

[Dukey]

I'm jealous my only shiny on Silver was a pathetic spearow which I wouldn't have been able to tell was shiny had the stars not flashed around it
