Shiny Cresselia?
 
Okay, so I've decided to soft reset until my Cresselia becomes shiny, (I've got heaps of time, 'tis the holidays :cool:) but does the picture that appears when I first go up to it become shiny when Cresselia does, or do I need to go and catch it to find out?

errrmmm...i think as soon as you start battiling it you can tell if its shiny or not

So the picture doesn't show if it's shiny? Fishsticks. That means I'll have to go and find it everytime I try. T_T

Dr.Stiles September 26th, 2007 7:36 PM

yup unfortunately youll have to keep chasing it

if this might help you catch it try catching a wobbufett and its shadow tag ability wont let cresslia run away thats how i caight mine on the first time with a great ball =D

It takes a long time until it gets shiny if you have as much luck as we all do. You will probably need to do approximately 10000 soft resets. And yes, when it first appears in battle, it has different colors and sparks fly out from it, that means you can't miss it when it's shiny.

I'm not sure, but, in the past, for example, it was decided if the dogs were shiny since the beginning of the game, which means you'd never get a shiny one unless you restarted your game and go through it until you see it, then restart again. Maybe Cresselia and Mesprit is like this, too.

unfortunately not. The first picture you see is for the Dex and for tracking her. So you're going to have to do the entire ritual each time to see whether or not it's shiny. But then again, I don't know anyone that tried up to 8000 times to confirm that. If you can prove that wrong, let us know!
