*Shiny hunters thread*
 
this goes like this. we vote for a pokemon that is common and we go look for it, when the first of us catches it shiny, we say it and we go for another one. i think its fun!

i vote for gastly, he is cool (evolves to gengar) and very common!

Alex_ October 3rd, 2004 8:01 AM

cooool ...imma look for gastly as well.....where should i look lost cave or pokemon tower? pokemon tower has more

_Chris_ October 3rd, 2004 8:05 AM

This topic was already created so please dont put it twice.

Aaryn October 3rd, 2004 8:07 AM

this topic has not been created with the same purposes before so i dont think there is any problem.


Look for them in poke towerk, ive been lookin for 2 hours and a half already and no shiny :(

keep you informed

Alex_ October 3rd, 2004 8:15 AM

k im gonna start looking now *pullsout GBA SP out of nowhere* magic muahahaha

cranium October 3rd, 2004 8:17 AM

lol you're gonna need more than 2 hours mate,
its like 1/8000 chance

Aaryn October 3rd, 2004 8:22 AM

i know but people do find shinies so why not try ourselves?


Im taking this seriously im not gonna stop till i find one

cranium October 3rd, 2004 8:26 AM

because you never find them when you're looking for them
ok maybe someone might come across a shiney within a week in this forum
but its PROBABLY not going to be the one you have asked them to find

Philbro October 3rd, 2004 8:26 AM

Im with ya *pulls out his fire red wth his limeted edition fire red sp and plays on it and travels to pokemon tower* i think tis best there aswell.

firered_deoxys October 3rd, 2004 8:32 AM

well my friend cam across 2 shineys in one week, a wurmple and a nincada, he mangaed to catch the wurmple and its now a lvl 50 something beautifly
edit:I'd laugh if someone just posted in this thread: "hey I just found a shiney mew" and acctually did find one

Philbro October 3rd, 2004 8:35 AM

yes back on teh topic 9f ghastly guys i keep finding haunters which is annjoying. Anywhere else.

Aaryn October 3rd, 2004 8:37 AM

well, i captured just now a shiny cubone! lololol but its useless for me, wasnt looking for it lol.

so your theory is right.


Lets all try to catch gastly!

oh and it can be a haunter also, both count so dont worry

firered_deoxys October 3rd, 2004 8:40 AM

what do you mean "count"? a shiney is a shiney

Alex_ October 3rd, 2004 8:42 AM

cooool what color is it aaryn?... im not havin ne luck on mine but imma still keep lookin =D

Aaryn October 3rd, 2004 8:45 AM

yeah but cubone sucks! dont like him


I continue on the search of a shiny ghastly:.....

Aaryn October 3rd, 2004 8:52 AM

its quite of green brownish you know, looks like a lizard, lol.

well i continue the search of gastly with no success!

firered_deoxys October 3rd, 2004 9:01 AM

yeah but marowak aint half bad, and I don't think gastly's any better until it is fully evolved
edit: I think once you have caught enough shiney's you should be able to get a shiney dex and shiney are a little easier to catch

_Chris_ October 3rd, 2004 9:12 AM

That is and will never be true about the shiny dex. That is just a dumb idea, also i found a shiny pidgey.

Alex_ October 3rd, 2004 10:11 AM

i havent found ne yet....i thought about givin up iunno though

!Dragonite! October 3rd, 2004 10:19 AM

I would, it going to take longer than you think to catch one, unless you are very lucky.

Philbro October 3rd, 2004 10:55 AM

YAY. I found a Shiny Caterpie in viridian foreast after days of search. Sorry i get back to ghastly. A gold caterpie i train it later.

_Chris_ October 3rd, 2004 11:17 AM

Train the caterpie while looking for Ghastly

Aaryn October 3rd, 2004 11:23 AM

ok people, something that will make it less boring and long is breeding! im breeding torchic eggs while hunting for gastlies!

still no result, dont give up please!!


Breeding hoenn pokemon make it more interesting! have fun

ryan October 3rd, 2004 11:27 AM

i already caught myself a shiny gastly. it's a gengar now. i was hunting for it as are you guys. it took me about an hour of sweet scenting. i used the gastlys to train my ponyta to rapidash.
what's the next pokemon to hunt?

Alex_ October 3rd, 2004 11:31 AM

ok... i was getting X-trmemly tired of the music in pkmn tower when i turned my volume down it was in my head..
O i vote for.....hmm i would choose ledyba but its not X-actly common... i vote for weedle or kakuna

ryan October 3rd, 2004 11:34 AM

alright, i'll work on that tonight. (i caught my shiny gastly at midnight straight up. it makes a cool story) i'd like to have cool stories about catching all of my pokemon, but i can't, because i breed most of my team...

Alex_ October 3rd, 2004 11:36 AM

lol...midnight? o well im pullin my GBA SP out now

ryan October 3rd, 2004 1:45 PM

pokemon is best in the middle of the night. it was hard for me to get an espeon in gold/silver because i would only play the game at night except very rarely during school. anyway... i'll work on that later, and then i'll be obliged to put a shiny beedrill on my team which will throw off my balance and make me lose.

Alex_ October 3rd, 2004 1:49 PM

lol.. i havr been searching for about an hour now..no progress

AdamHays October 3rd, 2004 2:48 PM

I'm joining,how will you know if they actually caught it though?

Alex_ October 3rd, 2004 2:59 PM

iunno really...erry1 who is joinin from what i can tell arent liars...

AdamHays October 3rd, 2004 3:03 PM

Thats a good point,im on the hunt.

KaeL October 3rd, 2004 4:12 PM

NOOOOO! STILL GASTLY! Lol, ima go sweet scent for gastlys. Aaryn, what sex is the cubone?

ryan October 3rd, 2004 4:25 PM

i can take a digital picture of my shiny gengar, if anybody doesn't beleive me, or just wants to see his beauty.

!Dragonite! October 3rd, 2004 4:31 PM

GOD!!! yall are making me want to catch a shiny!! I never cared about it until I just read the last couple of post, so Im going to go train my hunter (not shiny) and my crobat and look for a shiny!! Not sure which one though? And suggestions?

ryan October 3rd, 2004 4:34 PM

catch a shiny weedle like the rest of us!

Alex_ October 3rd, 2004 4:39 PM

ok update ive been on the puter and playoing g-boy for about 3-4 hours now GUESS WHAT!!!!.... i havent seen a thing

ryan October 3rd, 2004 4:42 PM

dang... that's too bad. shinies are hard to come across... but that's why we look!

Alex_ October 3rd, 2004 4:43 PM

true ... imma start lookin at night lol see if it changes my luck at all.

ryan October 3rd, 2004 4:45 PM

awesome! we should make a "i hunt for shinies in the dead of night" club

!Dragonite! October 3rd, 2004 4:48 PM

I dont want to look for a weeble, because I'm leveling up at the same time and the only lvl you can find a weeble is like 2-5..do any thing else?

Alex_ October 3rd, 2004 4:50 PM

no..not until sum1 finds it.......thats kinda the fun of it...see who finds it firsst....if u wanna look for sumthin else i would look for shiney nidoran male...if u havent used ur moonstones yet...shiney nidoking is awesome lookin he's blue kinda the nidoqueen color

ryan October 3rd, 2004 4:50 PM

well, then you could always look for a weedle.
i'm so hilarious. naw... um... catch a shiny voltorb, they look pretty awesome. or maybe a diglett. we should come up with a list of pokemon that are really common but could work in final evolutions on teams.

!Dragonite! October 3rd, 2004 5:09 PM

I'm going look for a shiny ponyta, they look awesome, the flames or blue.
Ill update after a while.

ryan October 3rd, 2004 5:13 PM

dang... good luck. that's near impossible.

!Dragonite! October 3rd, 2004 5:14 PM

Why you say that, they are common on Kindle road on island 1.

Alex_ October 3rd, 2004 6:00 PM

imma try to pull an "allnighter" nah...stupid school * kicks textbooks* at least midnight or 1 am

!Dragonite! October 3rd, 2004 6:03 PM

AttackRage555 October 3rd, 2004 6:10 PM

*Looks for Shiny Roselia*

!Dragonite! October 3rd, 2004 6:23 PM

Well attackrage your pretty lucky to have cought 55 shines.

*searched for shiny ponyta*

Alex_ October 4th, 2004 11:43 AM

i found a shiny caterpie and a shiny metapod but no shiny weedle .... i vote for krabby =\

!Dragonite! October 4th, 2004 12:30 PM

Should ent someone catch a shiny gastly before we move onto another pokemon??

update- been searching for a shiny ponyta for about 5hours, no luck!!, but im not giving up yet, plus im at the perfect place to train my hunter and crobat.

Alex_ October 4th, 2004 1:50 PM

SOMEONE DID ALREADY!! read ffirst ;\ rs did ,,,,

ryan October 4th, 2004 1:53 PM

arg... i spent a lot of last night, and today during history looking for a shiny weedle... no luck though

Alex_ October 4th, 2004 2:01 PM

yeah..same ...what are we gonna try 2 find now since cranium found it...

!Dragonite! October 4th, 2004 2:10 PM

I think that someone should try and find a shiny zubat, it probably would not be that hard being that that is the only pokemon that you can catch in the altering cave. And they look cool.XD

Chansey Inc. October 4th, 2004 2:18 PM

I have been searching for 12 days for a Shining Chansey....Has any1 caught one...that is a challenge...

!Dragonite! October 4th, 2004 2:21 PM

If you catch a shiny chansey tell me so I can praise you!

Alex_ October 4th, 2004 2:29 PM

fine with me dragonite....shiny zubat is cool looking dark green pukish looking and a shiny crobat is pink....

!Dragonite! October 4th, 2004 2:33 PM

Ok, we have one, now whats another? PONYTA!!!?

ryan October 4th, 2004 3:00 PM

if anybody can catch a shiny chancy they are the best person walking the earth at the current time period. i guess we'll move onto shiny zubats now.

Alex_ October 4th, 2004 3:19 PM

im gonna eat,play LG,use computer and feed the dog at the same time arent i great?o well...im gonna look in altering cave.

ryan October 4th, 2004 3:23 PM

good job... unfortunatly i have homework to do...
dang!
so i can only be posting, IMing, and working at the same time. i'm not cool enough to be pokemoning too.

Alex_ October 4th, 2004 3:25 PM

lol..someday you will tiny grasshopper....until then......i dont know what 2 do....i fifnished my homework *looks at books* or did I?

ryan October 4th, 2004 5:00 PM

(gasp) a double post? that's unacceptable. i've recently completed the scourge that is homework so after i send a couple e-mails i'll get back to work on shiny hunting.

!Dragonite! October 4th, 2004 5:34 PM

Update-searched=around 9 hours shinies seen=0!!!!!!!!
This is geting agervating.

Alex_ October 4th, 2004 5:38 PM

yeah it is....but when you catch it its waaay worth it..

ryan October 4th, 2004 5:43 PM

that depends on how crazy you are for shinies. in our cases it'll be worth it.

!Dragonite! October 4th, 2004 5:59 PM

I'm not crazy about them but ponyta looks AWESOME!! so I'm going to stick to it until I get one!!


How is the shiny zubat going?

Don't make me slap you for turning to the dark side, kay Ryan? ^_^;;; Anyways...zubat? Those are boring and make me want to snap my GBA in half every time I see one.... v.v I'll wait for the next shiney then...or...will I?

!Dragonite! October 4th, 2004 6:41 PM

We are not forcing you to look for a shiny zubat, feel free to try and capture any shiny pokemon you want =p

Zubats actually are pretty good if you evolve them into a crobat.

AdamHays October 4th, 2004 6:45 PM

I seen one but i killed it :dead: :disappoin :dead: .oh well on the hunt again!

PazzKat October 4th, 2004 8:29 PM

Tentacool shiney are cute. ^_^ They are green and blue instead of red and blue! But aren't we supposed to be like, after one, and the winner gets a prize?! Or not...you know... Maybe, we should form a real guild, with a building, and just dump all our shinies into an archieve!!!!!! o_O

I'm EDITING this because I do not wish to be YELLED at by any moderators for "Double Posting" ..... -.- Anyways...

How about this?
Each hunter makes a list of shiney pokemon that they have caught (If it evolved, make note of it and submit it) and we, as the shiney hunters make a list of pokemon that we've caught. [1 person comes on at least once every day about and updates which pokemon -starting with the original 150- have been caught, then we try and fill the rest of the holes.NO SHARKERS OR ARs ARE ALLOWED DURING THIS! WHY !? BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO PATIENCE AND DO NOT DESERVE CREDIT FOR YOUR ACTIONS, THIS IS FOR DEDICATED HUNTERS ONLY!!!! >_<
Does anyone support this idea? If so, post which shiney pokemon you've caught, and if it evolved, put it down but with an [E] next to it, and I'll make a post of which shineys have been caught.After we've caught the original 150, we'll continue to the next 301, or the 'second set' from Gold/Silver/Crystal.

[Editted about 4 times to get it in the right form...]

Aaryn October 5th, 2004 10:29 AM

I did it!

i found a shiny gastly, pfff 4 days search! WOOOOT

well i passed it to my colosseum cause i want a shiny charmander, so ive been 3 hours turning on and off my game and picking charmander a the beggining till i get it shiny.

PazzKat October 5th, 2004 2:24 PM

Yay!!!!! Good for you Aaryn! Congrats on your Gastly catch, I hope you succed in further shiney hunting!

_Chris_ October 5th, 2004 2:41 PM

Congrats on the ghastly but when you evolve it the only difference is the slight red in the hands are blue. TO me it seems pointless to have wasted 4 days doing that. But mif it makes you happy, Congrats

ryan October 5th, 2004 2:41 PM

shiny gastly look so cool. and i'm behind your idea pazzkat.
so,
ryan (the midnight shiney hunter) reporting:
shiney gastly evolved into
shiney haunter evolved into
shiney gengar.
and that's it.
i have encountered a shiney rhydon though.
is that the sort of format you want?

BigBoss October 5th, 2004 2:44 PM

Yeah, shiny gastly is cool XD but Shiny Charizards pwns them all!

_Chris_ October 5th, 2004 2:45 PM

Yah. SHiny Charizards are awesome and pwn all others.

Chansey Inc. October 5th, 2004 2:52 PM

Shinig Charzards are da bomb butt I WILLNOT Search for hours for a shiny...
Shining Venasaur are ugly

_Chris_ October 5th, 2004 2:53 PM

Shiny Venasaurs are just a little bit lighter.

Chansey Inc. October 5th, 2004 2:56 PM

Venasaurs are ugly.......Make

_Chris_ October 5th, 2004 2:58 PM

please dont post pointless character to meet the limit.

Chansey Inc. October 5th, 2004 3:21 PM

I was GOING to put more about how they should make Venasaur more cooler looking.....SO NEVER ASSUME......

PazzKat October 5th, 2004 3:24 PM

We aren't here to argue about who's cooler then who, or what's cuter then what (All though we all know that Vulpix is the cutest little thing ya' set your eyes on) We are to have friendly competetion and...if anyone would SUPPORT my idea (besides Ryan, he's a doll) MAYBE GET A LITTLE TASK GOING SUCH AS CATCHING THE FIRST 151 IN SHINEY!?

!Dragonite! October 5th, 2004 5:16 PM

How is the shiny zubat search going? Any one cought on yet?


Update on the shiny ponyta- about 15 hours of searching= NOT A [email protected] thing!
But I aint giving up, in fact me and Latios Master are having a race!! I hope I win.

Alex_ October 5th, 2004 6:00 PM

blah ..no Zubat =\.....Ryan you havin ne luck?

_Chris_ October 5th, 2004 6:05 PM

I agree with PazzKat about working together to catch all 150 first.

!Dragonite! October 5th, 2004 6:11 PM

I like the idea to, but man, that is going to take some serious time!!! We are having trouple find an ultra common shiny zubat, it aint guna be easy to catch like for example, the legy dogs......any idea on how long that would take?

ageman225 October 5th, 2004 6:16 PM

The only Shiny pokemon i saw was a shiny Zubat, didn't catch it though. i've never saw another shiny pokemon since.

ryan October 5th, 2004 6:25 PM

nope, no luck yet... but it's not midnight yet is it?!
and i didn't have history today either. but i'll get on it tonight.

PazzKat October 5th, 2004 9:22 PM

Tee hee, Ryan you're such an insomniac. ^_^;; Of course it will tke awhile, that's why we need to drag more hapless souls in, kicking and screaming to help us in our bidding. The more people....the more chances of Shiney there be.

cranium October 6th, 2004 12:07 AM

i have a shiney
--medicham--
--linoone--
--corsola--
--weedle--
--anirak?--

so however many you doing vcross them off your list -.-

Aaryn October 6th, 2004 10:23 AM

well ive been trying for 5 hours since yesterday, and no shiny, but i wotn give up untill i have my shiny charmander!

When it becomes charizard it will pwn them all! just like you said before, oh and good luck on the ponyta race! hope you finish first !dragonite! lol


And cheer up people dont give up on the shiny hunt, and youll be remembered in the hall of fame of shiny hunters! (doh)

Alex_ October 6th, 2004 12:43 PM

hmm no luck last night i sttayed up til 2:00 am est...

SkinnyGreenMan October 6th, 2004 12:46 PM

This sound fun. Right now I have only one shiny... Claydol.

So,what are we looking for right now?
