Is it trueley possible?
 
If you keep restarting pokemon D&P and keep getting the same starter pokemon is there a tiny chance it might be a shiny?

シーツー February 23rd, 2008 6:28 AM

Yep, there is. But the chance it might be shiny is only 1/8132 or something like this so you'll probably have to restart the game very often...

I would like a shiny chimchar and then i will have the patience to complete diamond.

But i don't wanna wait ages to get one if i can't actually get one.

Jack Surge February 23rd, 2008 6:32 AM

Like it was just said, you can, although, like any other shiny encounter, it's very rare. I'm not much of a fan of soft reseting for shinies, but that's a common method to obtain a shiny starter.

Shiny Pichu February 23rd, 2008 6:35 AM

I think i will start that then.

Thanks for the replies.

Yes, there is a chance it will be shiny. But wouldn't it be easier to breed the Chimchar with a Ditto? The offspring has a chance to be shiny, and it goes much quicker.

It's still slow as hell, though.

if you really think about it, by the time you've already started a new game and gotten your starter, you will have bred a Pokémon and gotten the egg, and if you're lucky, will have it hatched. so it really doesn't take any longer. actually, its almost faster to try for it at the beginning of the game.

thats how i caught i shiny dialga^_^, i traded it though...so yes it works

Kim Do-yeon February 23rd, 2008 2:25 PM

Yes it is Possible because I have gotten myself a Shiny Turtwig.

You don't necessarily need to restart for it, just save before recieving it, you can also breed one so you don't have to lose your data.
