Shininess is set when you get the egg from the day-care man, not when it hatches. So, if you got the eggs, saved before they hatched, and then SR'd (which is what I think you're doing), you're doing it wrong. To MM by SRing, you have to save before you get an egg from the daycare man, get your...

Hmmm... that's a tough question. I would love to be Sceptile, of course, but honestly I think I'll go with Ludicolo as my top choice. He's just so happy and bouncy all the time and I feel like it would fun to be him or even be around him ^.^

Do we need to obtain both shinies during August? For example, I already have Kyogre and Giratina and I'm currently hunting Groudon and Palkia so... =P If not then hopefully Palkia and Dialga will both shine this month, since I will be hunting Dialga once Palkia shines. I'm currently at 2k...

I love Ice Beam. Functionally, it's a really good move. But, more importantly, I think it looks really cool, ESPECIALLY in Colosseum/XD (dont know about Battle Revolution since I've never played it) where it both looks and sounds cool IMO. I'm also a huge fan of Ice Punch, mostly because it...

Victini, Resh, and Zek can be SR'd if you use an AR to remove the shiny check (as was already mentioned), making them semi-legit. Also, sorry to be a killjoy, but Resh, Zek, and Keldeo CANNOT be shiny in B/W2 =P

Hey everyone =) I was expecting my Giratina hunt to go over the odds since my Platinum game trolled me with a 10.5 month long Piplup hunt, but after 7215 resets I have a shiny Giratina! I really wanted to catch it without my Master Ball, but when it got down to 2 PP (after escaping from 2...

Hi, I love ice-types so I'd like to join! Name: rykerr1 W-what do you want from me!?: Recognition of my love of ice-types =P My buddy Articuno, I'll call you Carl! Answer the current topic! What ice-type do you like the least... hmm... I'd probably have to go with Glalie on this one. I like...

Hey everyone =D I've really been hunting obsessively during this month since I want as many shinies as possible before I go to college, and my Pokemon games have graced me with my 3rd shiny of the month! After 2 failed RE hunts on Route 3 (one resulting in Pidove, one in Lillipup), 2874...

Hey everyone, I have another shiny to report! I got to Giratina Saturday night (currently at 960 ish SRs) and have been hunting it obsessively. However, today I felt bad that I've been neglecting Registeel this week so I decided to hunt that as well. 3 or 4 hours later, it shone! It has a...

I'm sorry that I haven't been active on here lately, but that's been because I haven't had any shinies. I'm happy to report that that has changed: I got a shiny Piplup in my Platinum game today after 10.5 MONTHS of SRing (I started this hunt in August 2011). Unbelievable, I'm still freaking...

I completely agree with you about the shiny charm. For me, it kind of cheapens shinies... but since I never have (and probably never will) completed the national dex in any game it probably won't be an issue for me >.< Also, to answer your question... apparently Smogon confirmed that...

The only time I ever use Solarbeam is if another Pokemon is around to set up sunlight (IE, Groudon, Draught Ninetales, or a Chlorophyll Pokemon that needs Sunny Day anyway). Otherwise, it wastes too much time with charging, though I wouldn't say its more powerful than Solarbeam alone in terms...

I don't like the 4x weakness either but if it was a cool enough Pokemon I'd get over it... I mean, I use Garchomp pretty much every time I play Platinum and I'm currently using Flygon in Sapphire. They'd have to give it a pretty cool design and good stats to make it worth it. Fire/Grass would...

I think it could be a really cool combo, and its only real flaw would be a 4x ice weakness (but Garchomp, Flygon, Salamence, and Dragonite all have that anyway). Since we got Ice, Fire, Electric, and Dark combined with Dragon in Gen V I think they could have Grass/Dragon in Gen VI. Plus, it...

Hey everyone, thought I'd get in on this conversation. Favorite grass type move and why? I love leaf blade, mostly because I used to have it on my Sceptile in Sapphire and the idea of Sceptile slashing things with his arms seems awesome to me. How do you feel about the lack of grass-type...
