Resetting for a shiny fossil.
Okay, I have given a Skull Fossil to the doctor in the Mining Museum, went out, came back in, & saved the game in front of the desk. If I get the Cranidos from the doctor & it's not shiny, can I reset and keep trying until it is a shiny? I've noticed that the nature and (sometimes) the gender of the Cranidos change, so I would think that a shiny would be a possibility.
You get a shiny Cranidos as a thank you: Toblerone Iron Shaman Gofre darkrai28 Animangaboy red_eye_evil_Itachi ~KiTsUnE DragonFir3 Graceful Assassin (distributed) |
Sounds very possible. Yes, i think you might be able to get a shiny fossil poke, but the chance is the same as any other (1 in 8000-ish).
|
I've heard that people have gotten shiny starters & shiny legendaries by resetting, but it took a lot of resets.
Another question: If you migrate a shiny Pokemon, will that reduce your chances of finding another shiny in D/P? |
Chance of being shiny is 1 in 8192, so good luck.
Yeah, anything can be shiny (even trainer/battle tower pokemon =( ) but the only way to have increased chances is chaining. |
Well, that sucks. It wasn't that long ago that I migrated a shiny Eevee.
|
Yeah, Fossils are the third hardest to get Shiny, behind Running Legends and Safari Pokémon.
A pity, because some of the shinies I like are fossils. D: |

good luck with that. I should try it too.

I wander what the chances are of getting a shiny adamant Cranidos...
With wild Pokemon, you can use an adamant Abra, but this doesn't work with the fossils. |
I've done that with cranidos before,
i got shiny from it. but it took me like 3 days on and off. xD |

I have managed to encounter a shiny Gastly on my Pearl Version, however. |
this should work it worked for me twice in my Daiond i got a shiyn carndios in 3 days and in my Pearl i got a shiny shieldon 3 days too
i hope it works for you too |
How crazy would it be if I kept trying and finally got it on May 7th, my birthday?
It's a shame I have to reset after getting these good natures & IVs... I guess I'll try for natures & IVs after I get a shiny. |

(fillerrr) |
that would be crazy. O_O
Good luck! EDIT: 1/204800 of getting THE nature you want on a shiny Pokemon. I wish you the best of luck. You'll need it. |
I'd say I've been trying this for about 7 hours now... I don't plan on giving up until I get a shiny one!

And hey.
since shiny fossil pokemon are hard to come by, you could get a pretty penny for it! |
OMG! After roughly 9 (7 strait) hours... it all paid off. I didn't think it would happen so quickly, but I now have a shiny Cranidos! And it's Adamant (wow, what luck)!!! I'm so happy! I guess this is an early birthday present. XD
I'll try to clone it several times & give everyone who posted in this thread, everyone who has been cheering me on (if they want one), a shiny Cranidos. Thanks you guys! |
AMG.
CLONE ME A CRANIDOS NAO! |
Quote:
I guess you could give me about... 10 minutes? |
sure!!!
(uber long filler) |
Okay, I just cloned it. You can go ahead and add by Diamond Version FC (see sig).
|
Give... it... NOW.
~~~~~ Well, it seems that you had quite the luck for that! (the chances of getting a Shiny with the nature you want are 1/204800!) I suggest you do an IV check on that Cranidos! You might be lucky enough to have straight 31s O_O (Chances of getting a Shiny Pokemon with the best nature and exellent IVs: not sure, but it's one in a HUGE number) |
can we do it in a second,
i'm gunna battle quick. |

then I'll be waiting on Wi-Fi... for whenever you're ready. |
congratulations on getting one! How did you do it? You gave the guy the fossil, left then went back inside? And saved right before he gave it to you?

great thanks wolf! I'm trying to get a kabuto with good ivs, so I want an easier way to SR. I originally thought you had to save before you gave the guy the fossil
|
Nope. You can save after you give him the fossil (but before you get the Pokemon).

However, I read somewhere that you don't get accurate IV readings unless your Pokemon is lv100. |
I was proud of you, until I read that ur fine with cloning..
You dont deserve a congrats if your cloning it.. Your basically ruining it for all the other people that work hard for shiny fossils.. Way to go.... |

|

Congrats, but this is really going off topic and you shouldn't discuss cloning (if I were you, I wouldn't even ruin its value by cloning since you struck gold o.o)
Go to the shiny sticky to discuss your new shiny and the trade forum for trade arrangements. Thanks. -CLOSED- |
