Since shiny pokemon are totally random, the only advice anyone can give on this subject is just keep looking. I didn't find my first shiny until I had between 600 and 700 hours of playtime. Yours may come sooner than this or even later. So, persistence is the key. Although there are cheating...

I know the feeling, my shiny Golbat has Hasty nature. Couldn't be worse ;D

My proudest catch was Kyogre. My friend restarted his Sapphire (saving his pokemon) so he already had a Kyogre and was gonna give me his extra one. When the time came in his game to catch Kyogre, he forgot to save first and had been playing for a while without saving. So, he hands me the GBA and...

The problem is that you are using two SPs. You should have noticed that the E-reader does not fit into an SP. The E-reader makes use of the link port on the GBA and has a link port on the E-reader that you use for the link cable. The SP's link port is placed in such a way that you cannot use an...

Used a Nest Ball on my shiny Claydol, so now when it comes out, it has a circle of hearts because of the nest ball. :\

As far as I can tell, the difficulty of catching any given Pokemon is based on the following factors: 1. The Pokemon's stats, higher = harder 2. The Pokemon that you use while attempting to capture, higher stats makes it easier 3. Afflicting the Pokemon with any ailment (poison, paralysis...

Yes, shiny Pokemon do have the sparkle in the Advance games. You can find a shiny Pokemon in Ruby, Sapphire, Fire Red, Leaf Green, Emerald and possibly Colosseum. The chance is actually 1 in 8192. Don't give up hope! I, too, struggled for endless hours only to come up empty-handed until about a...

Seems like you've got Drowzee all wrong. Butterfree only learns Confusion Psybeam (and Psychic by TM), none of which get STAB, while Drowzee learns Psychic, which it does get STAB for. Also, you should compare it with Hypno (since Butterfree is fully evolved), who has much higher base stats than...

I recently caught a shiny Claydol at the Sky Pillar. I'm just wondering, has anyone else found a shiny Claydol? I'd think it would be a more common shiny that people might see (not to say that shinies are common).

Mew and Celebi and Lugia are most likely banned because they aren't "legally obtainable" yet. That is, you can't get them without cheating. Also, it said that you could only use one legendary...

It looks like a pretty average Skarmory to me. A single Flamethrower would probably be enough to take it down. It's not uber at all compared to..say.. my Kyogre with 394 Sp. Defense. Anyone who calls you cheap for using that pokemon is just making excuses cause they suck.

659 hours on my Ruby, never restarted and never will!

Yes, Exp. Share does in fact share EVs, but instead of splitting them like it does for experience points, it gives the full amount to each Pokemon.

I'd suggest Rock Slide or Ancientpower as one of them. Probably Earthquake for the other.

MUST trade first, then make it happy. Happiness disappears when you trade.
