3rd Gen Where to catch shiny's?

[Soufiane]

Where should I hunt shiny's? On Sapphire, I currently have 2 Shinies, 1 Exploud its lvl 70ish now and a Zigzagoon I evolved it in a linoone,
Any tips or worth catching pokemons?

 

[Naito]

Shinies are completely random in the GBA/GBC/GB Pokemon games. So it's really all luck. If you're that determined to hunt shinies, just go into a large patch of grass and run around in it for about a hour.

Make sure you have ways to keep the pokemon trapped in the battle incase you encounter a shiny that specializes in running away. That means always have status inflicting moves, things like Mean Look, and a move that won't kill the pokemon like False Swipe.

 

[Tater Tot]

There really isn't an answer for that, you can catch a shiny any random place. There is no common place for them.

 

[Soufiane]

What pokemons are worth to catch shiny tho?
Anyone post opinions?

I was thinking to camp at bagon's, Horsea's, Lunatone

 

[Clark]

That depends on what kind of Pokemon you like the shiny of. No shiny is any stronger than the normal Pokemon, so it really just has to do with what colors you like on certain Pokemon... If I wanted a shiny, I'd probably try to get a shiny Mightyena or a shiny Charizard perhaps, but I don't go out of my way to look for them, so I'll just have to stick with my shiny Swellow for now.

it all depends on luck. If you get lucky, you can find a shiny.

 

[Panfisha]

I heard a shiny can appear at your first 30 hours of play, but I think its false. And the only way to control the possible shiny you get is the area you run around in. Like me, I got a shiny spearow on Island 5 at lvl44. Not much, just gold instead of red wings.

 

[Firefist]

It says that the chance to get a Shiny in G/S/C is 1:8192.
In the 3rd Generation its the same. But yeah, its pure randomness.

Just go anywhere. I suggest you get a Pokemon that's fast (Like Gengar) with Hypnosis and Mean Look. And have a lot of Poke Balls.
