So far.. only Snorlax. :laugh:

Desaparecidos September 14th, 2004 6:47 PM

and i'm def not about to use a gameshark to get them.


what's the best way of obtaining one? just walking through grass for hours, and a lot of luck? lol

Valmordian September 14th, 2004 7:00 PM

That's freaking awesome man! I think I might steal it.. :bandit: even though I don't use Legendaries.

PokemonMaster September 14th, 2004 7:19 PM

I don't get the difference between Regular and Shiny, someone tell me!

Desaparecidos September 14th, 2004 7:19 PM

oh man. i have no luck with catching. =/

It is just a different color and sparkles when it comes out.. plus you get bragging rights :laugh:

Scyther5 September 14th, 2004 7:22 PM

@ blue, did you just randomly run into the shiney mewtwo, or did you reset?

Actually yeah. In Sapphire I caught a Shiney Nincada, and wasn't even looking though. First Shiney I have ever gotten beside the Red Gyarados in G/S

It was the fourth or fifth time I had reset my file on my Japanese Firered...I was in shock when I got it...now if I could only buy the American FR...

Desaparecidos September 14th, 2004 7:32 PM

i just want one shiny haha!

PokemonMaster September 14th, 2004 7:33 PM

Oh! I looked up Shiny Pics and I see what they are.....I haven't caught one, but I imagine it is VERY hard to find/catch one.

Yes, it is a very low chance to get one.. like 2.5% or something.. unless you use a Gameshark or some other cheat device.. though I don't do that.. I would rather do it legit, more satisfaction.

Desaparecidos September 14th, 2004 7:39 PM

yes. waaaay more satisfaction.

is it, 2.5% everytime you encounter a Pokemon? or like 2.5% some other way?

Not sure of the exact percent but it is everytime you encounter a Pokemon, no matter how you encounter them. (not sure on Eevee and Lapras since you get them from Pokeballs but I am thinking they are still able to become Shiny when you pick them up. Someone want to confirm this?)

Desaparecidos September 14th, 2004 7:50 PM

ok cool thanks. i wonder if i encounter a Ghastly 100 times in a row, one of them will be shiny. probably not =/

At least you don't have to restart the game like I did to get Snorlax.. you just have to walk around a lot which means you can use the VS Seeker on those Channelers and gain a bit of levels while looking for a Shiny Gastly :P

Geometric-sama September 14th, 2004 8:05 PM

I have a shiny Linoone (trained from a Zigzagoon). My brother is lucky, he hatched a shiny Togepi from his egg in Crystal I think it was.

haha trueee. that's a good idea ;D

Simon September 14th, 2004 8:31 PM

Well...I didn't catch it, but I traded over my shiny Gardevior over from my Sapphire cart.
