Uncatchable Shiny's
 
Who has ever found a shiny pokemon... but it was another trainer's!
I did at the battle tower in Fire Red, TWO TIMES :[email protected]

I had a 6v6 shiny battle, and my friend had six shinies that I couldn't capture. This happened twice, actually.

Pingouin_7 May 24th, 2009 7:46 AM

No. In FR/LG, the shinies in the Trainer Tower are always there.

Also, no trainer Pokémon can be shiny except in the Battle Tower/Frontier.

I've actually never seen a shiny that's from another trainer, though i'd probably turn the game off and then battle someone completly different >=)
That would teach them to have shiny pokemon when i don't :(

I never saw any trainers in firered/leafgreen having shinies on there team in the games, but I did caught some shinies myself and me got a shiny charmander!!! I'm so lucky and my sister got a shiny squirtle!!! ;D

In my whole life of playing any Advanced Generation games, I've never seen a trainer who has a shiny Pokémon. That, or I can't tell the diffference between a shiny and a normal-colored Pokémon. XD

Tulips And Clover May 24th, 2009 8:14 PM

I saw a shiny Psyduck at the Safari Zone once. It ran away though :'(

Master Terrador May 24th, 2009 8:35 PM

I dunno about that...on the way to Rock Tunnel on one of my Fire Red run throughs a Hiker had a Shiny Onix I think...

Primal_Dialga May 30th, 2009 12:08 AM

yea its set so if you do the tower agian they will have the same one :0 my E-cards had one trainer with a shiny salamance

Swift! May 30th, 2009 12:46 AM

Pingouin_7 is right. The only trainers with shiny Pokemon are all in the battle tower/battle frontier. No other trainers have, or ever will have, shiny Pokemon.

Pyrax May 30th, 2009 1:41 AM

I guess at the beginning of the game before you get your Pokéballs.

I found a lot of shinies (I play a LOT)
And in every Firered/leafgreen there are 2 shinies in the Battle tower.

pspaddict July 6th, 2009 7:39 PM

i got one shiny zubat in a cave in emerald =)

キラキラ July 6th, 2009 8:45 PM

I didn't know that there were shinies programmed into the Battle Tower, I thought it was just bad luck. XD

Well once I found a shiny Psyduck, but had no Pokeballs.

Citrinin July 6th, 2009 9:30 PM

A shiny Seaking in the Trainer Tower in FireRed. ;<

Already said: No trainer except the ones at battle tower/frontier have shinies.

I saw shinies only at Battle tower in FRLG. I had a shiny venusaur(FR) and a shiny Mightyena once(Emerald).

Switchback July 7th, 2009 12:34 AM

I think someone had a shiny in the Battle Tower on my Crystal game, it's been a very long time since I last played but I think it was a shiny Smeargle. As far a shiny's go, I haven't had that much luck with them but I did hatch a shiny Pichu once. Most frustrating is when you find a shiny that turns out to be a Tentacool, or a Pokemon which you just would never use.

The Poochyena line is full of jerks. >:C I found a shiny Mightyena in my Emerald and it Roar'd away before I could catch it. I was so annoyed. XD;

But something like your situation happened to a friend of mine once in Gold version--she ran into a shiny Hoothoot on the way from Newbark Town to... the second town. So before pokéballs. :( That would suck SO hard.

Same thing happened to me except it was a Delibird and I didn't have any pokeballs on me.

Silhouette July 7th, 2009 9:25 AM

Lol, I keep running into a Shiny Espeon in Leaf Green's Trainer Tower. It just loves to taunt me. =/
