Do you battle with your shinies?
 
The title says it all. Leave comments.

With my own shinies, only if it's for fun since they suck. With traded shinies, not really ever since any shiny with a good nature is cursed or hacked.

J-Rad October 22nd, 2007 5:14 PM

I could care less about shinies, don't really need them.

Chibaymega12 October 22nd, 2007 5:17 PM

Then why post here? I just like to collect them, there's only so much you can do with them because their "build" is usually screwed.

Myoko-chan October 22nd, 2007 5:22 PM

Shinies never have the right Natures and Good IVs, and if it does, you would most likely be called a hacker anyways. So I felt I was better off just using normals.

diamondpearl876 October 22nd, 2007 5:38 PM

Nope, I don't. I don't really battle at all to begin with. XP But if I did, I wouldn't use shinies--they wouldn't do well in competitive battling especially if it doesn't have good natures/ivs or anything.

I don't have any shinies, but they fail at battling, so I was never tempted to really search for any. Well-trained and bred pokes fare so much better in battle than shinies.

Chibaymega12 October 22nd, 2007 6:09 PM

I agree with all of you, i like to collect them, it's a nice challenge, especailly when you trade for them

ToraSushii October 22nd, 2007 6:15 PM

No. Mainly because I don't have the feeling the train them. They bore me. :P
Except for a few..

Lumine October 22nd, 2007 6:33 PM

I collect them from the wireless trade section, but I breed and raise my own team and there arent any shinies involved

Monzae October 22nd, 2007 7:01 PM

I get impatient about the speed of battles, and if things like the shiny animation slow it down I tend to get a little bit irate, so I tend not to.. More for collection I think.. Sometimes I will use them though..

ThePlaya October 22nd, 2007 7:35 PM

i use one and its shiny umbreon only becuase i like it blue better than the original color.But if someone uses a whole team of shinys they would automatcally think that its hacked.

Nacon October 22nd, 2007 8:26 PM

I treat shiny's like albinos...... they look different, and that's the only special thing about 'em.

deco11 October 23rd, 2007 1:18 AM

i got a shiny kabuto off this guy and it has these IVs

Its also lonely ( + atk - def

27 atk
31def
25spd

those are averages

Depends. To me a shiny is a regular pokemon in battle. If its strong enough, it'll be on the team, if not PC Box.

Puddle Fish October 23rd, 2007 4:21 AM

I battle with my Lvl. 60 Shiny Crobat! It is great, 'cause when I bring it out people are all like "Wow!" I wouldn't trade it for the world! When I get Pearl at Christmas I will transfer as soon as possible!

Jorah October 23rd, 2007 12:29 PM

Only if I want to evolve it. Otherwise, no, because they never seem to have the right nature...although natures doesn't really matter when I'm battling my sister because she's easy to beat XD

MegaMushroom07 October 23rd, 2007 12:30 PM

I use a shiny Palkia and Palkia in battle. Sometimes a shiny Mew.

Chibaymega12 October 23rd, 2007 1:35 PM

i read somewhere that the ivs and stats are supposed to be screwed...

Pkmn Trainer Alex October 23rd, 2007 1:43 PM

I use my shinies sometimes, but only in the random Wi-Fi of PBR, and against new players who want to see some of "the awesome." >.>

I do EV-train the shinies I like, but I would never use them in serious battles...unless I actually caught a good one myself.

not bad at all... if it's legit, lady fate was on your side.

pm_41 October 24th, 2007 12:51 PM

Shinys make the battle more interesting. I use them whenever I can.

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ October 24th, 2007 1:36 PM

I dont treat them any different from any Pokemon, unless if there my favorite Pokemon like I have a shiny Banette, but I treat a regular Banette the same as well


:t354:TG

Shem October 24th, 2007 6:30 PM

i dont have that many shinies, i dont care about nature or ivs for battling, you can do the whole e4 on 2 pokemon with revives and max potions, the only reason i want strong, legit pokemon is for battling online on pbr

Chibaymega12 October 24th, 2007 7:16 PM

yeah, i have about 20, i noob battle with one, and thats my red gyarados, it's got good ivs:slightly above average, and i caught it myself, so i know it's legit, but i forgot the nature, i'm not sure if it's a good one thogh
