Shiny Pokémon
Discuss what you think about Shiny Pokémon. Was it a good idea to put in Shiny Pokémon in GSC? Do you have any Shiny Pokémon? Have you encountered any Shiny Pokemon? Discuss all about them here.
|
The only good shiny I got besides gyarados was a magby that creamed the elite 4 :p
|
I have caught: shiny meowth, hoothoot, ditto, magnemite, gyarados, tentacool, and a spearow.
I have seen these shiny pokemon and had no poke/great/ultra balls or another mistake: goldeen, and a grimer. |
The only shiny I caught in GSC was the red gyarados in Gold.
|
I haven't encountered any Shiny Pokémon except the red Gyrados in Crystal.
|
it was definitely a good idea, considering that you can breed pokemon to get shinies, which is very useful to me (a breeder)
|
I just caught a shiny bellsprout. Yay!
|
The Red Gyardos was the only shiny I got in Crystal. Shinies aren't anything special, just different and rare. They are as strong or as weak a non-shiny. I'm sure you knew that:).
|
But Shinies are good for bragging rights and to amaze your friends who don't know anything about them.
|
I have a shiny Spinarak in Silver (and the Red Gyarados, of course) And I might have some others, I don't know, I didn't log it :P
Could it be that shinies were put in there to fill empty slots? So we wouldn't get the whole Missingno. glitch again? I'm not a programmer, so I'm just guessing from what I've read.. Xx~Raika |
No, shinies are just when you get lucky and the game is programmed to sometimes give you an alternatively coloured Pokémon.
|
Only Shiny Pokemon I have caught, were Red Gyarados and Smoochum in Crystal

It's still luck, even IF you increase the chances, as there is still a chance of not getting the Shiny.
Also, tge breeding means you actually have to already have a Shiny, so it doesn't help for people who haven't got a shiny yet. |

once in Pokemon silver i was against a shiny vulpix in the wild but i ran away because it was a girl...
i really do regret it now. |
Haven't even seen a shiny other than the Gyrados in about 50 hours of Crystal. One day..
I really hope when I do find one, it's not a Swinub or Zubat or something. By the way, do Pokemon only have one shiny color variation? |

I think shiny pokemon are over rated. I have found 3 shiny pokemon though. A bagon ,a Nicada, and A groudon(god I was lucky on this one) But i really don't look for them cuz i like my pokemon to look normal....as normal as they are XD |
just wondering, If I breed say a male shiny with a female non-shiny of a different species do I still get the reduced odds?
|
I met a shiny ryhorn but i killed it D;
Stupid me. |

It was a good idea, it gives people more of an incentive to keep on playing.
I still remember when I first encountered my first shiny in Silver. I was bored and I was fishing in the Cerulean Gym, just doing nothing. All of a sudden I get a tug on my Super Rod. It was a Kingler, didn't think any of it. All of sudden it flashed and it was silver!!! First I thought it was a glitch. I had no Poke balls on me and I had no choice to kill it. At the point I kept fishing, hoping to get another chance to encounter that Kingler.... but it never happened again. Good times good times. |
I have a shiny spearow on silver... (so ashamed)
and the red gyarados but i dont count that. in SHINY gold I caught shiny ho-oh on my like millionth attempt of trying to catch him my cousin versed a trainer who had a red gyarados or something? is this possible? |
this is not possible unless the game was glitching up. every trainer's pokemon has a preset gene set. and none of them are the genes of a shiny.
