Ai, lol good.. cuz Combusken n co. need their EVs ...
im goin up against Winona soon, and my team cant beat down flyers...
mmost are neutral or weak (Combusken, Machoke, Trapinch) XD
Well, im gunna have 2 catch all new pkmn.. and hope i get a adamant trapinch (WHich would be kick-***) and he would be doing devestating amounts of dmg. nevertheless, my team isn't too good, they suck against waters, flyers and some other type i cannot think up of right now XD
nevertheless, when whould i try and evolve my seadra?

King Kobra October 23rd, 2006 8:15 PM

Update: 3900 Scythers ressetted for, no shinies. I've seen some hecka-good AVs so far, especially one Lonely Scyther, it had 76 attack points at level 25!

Hoping for a Lonely, Adamant, or Naughty Scyther, yay Attack IVs!

It's Just Fufu October 23rd, 2006 8:23 PM

Hunting for Mewtwo in FR at night. I seem to get lucky in FR at night, so yeah... during the day, it is either Latias or Groudon. I want all three of them equally :)

Wish me luck.

pokebryce October 23rd, 2006 11:14 PM

i was up most of last night hunting for my shiny spinda
about 3200 seen.

Edit: how come my sceptile isn't added to the pokedex on the first page

willypiggy October 24th, 2006 6:13 AM

Yay, Shiny Leganderies, I won't dissapoint you!
Spent a whole day yesterday looking for that damn smeargle (No joke, I only played diamond for about 30mins and I was huting for about 7 hours :() I am just soooo unlucky!

csyber October 24th, 2006 8:19 AM

Chesters_love October 24th, 2006 11:49 AM

ive seen 195 smeargles,and pokebruce,i dont beleive your a member yet.my pokemon havent been added but lld just pmed me and said i was a member.

Ullion October 24th, 2006 11:59 AM

pokebryce ahs been a member loooong before you, if you havnt noticed he ahs always had a SHC card, he was just away for a while...
nevertheless, im getting theyu emerald slowly but surely... XD

Tha Pkmn Prodigy October 24th, 2006 1:12 PM

well I'VE been hunting for the shiny squirtle for about.....*checks calender* one week tomorrow, and i still haven't found it. but i know it'll show up soon, i can feel it!! i hunt for about an average of 4 hours a day (about 8-9 on weekends) only stopping to go to the bathroom or fix myself something to eat. but i realllllly want that shiny blastoise tho, and im not gonna stop SRing.

Wish me luck!!

It's Just Fufu October 24th, 2006 1:20 PM

Well, I just noticed that I still haven't caught both Snorlax on my FR game :) I don't want to go for a shiny Molres because I feel that I have too many shiny flying types(Charizard, Rayquaza, Skarmory, and Pelipper), and I'd rather not go for Mewtwo, I don't know why, but I'd like my next legendary shiny to be Latias. So, I'll be soft resetting for Snorlax on FR. I don't even know if I'll be able to start to SR for it today because I have WAY too much h/w.

~Shadow~ October 24th, 2006 1:23 PM

No luck on lugia yet*sigh*i will get you lugia!

Tha Pkmn Prodigy October 24th, 2006 2:01 PM

well, i remember there used to be talk of an SHC website.....so what's been going on with that? is someone going to make it or.....?

King Kobra October 24th, 2006 2:14 PM

I'd make a SHC Website if I felt like it, I got the hook-ups for it. The only thing is that there's no need for one, we can discuss all we need to in this topic, and entire website would be a waste...

Update: No new shiny, cause I haven't even hunted >.<

Lil-Dill October 24th, 2006 2:52 PM

My Shiney Eevee mission complete Ive seen 1276 Eevees! WOOT!!! It was hard I fineally found it at my friends house heres the story or I should say an Anecdote^_^:

My friend n I were assigned this project in Family Studies about fruits n veggies(pretty lame huh) and soo we decided that both of us go to his house soo as usuall I was slacking off not really doing my work n then I was looking at a Carrot n what is its nutrition then when I looked at my game I screamed " OH WOW FINEALLY WOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO HEY ANGELO LOOK AT THIS WOOT I FINEALLY GOT MY SHINEY EEVEE!!!"

Sooo well there you go my Shiney Eevee is miiiiiiiine/ I cant w8 until D/P to evolve it into a shiney Vineon^_^.

EDIT: My Eevee iz a female -.- i was hoping 4 a male but oh well^_^!

Chesters_love October 24th, 2006 3:01 PM

ug no smeargle.mer...........I WILL GET YOU SMEARGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lady Demoonica Darkmoon October 24th, 2006 4:40 PM

True that at the moment we don't really need a website, and as for the Members List and the Shiny Pokedex, well Aaron and SkinnyGreenMan are the only people who can edit their post to update and neither are on very much lately. Sad but true. :(

Anyway I've gone and gotten tired of the handhelds... so I'm playing Pokemon XD: GoD from the begining again. I hope to find a shiny of course.

You don't have a shiny skarmory, do you? -.^
Anyways, i don't see the complete need for the site yet, the only thing here like LDD mentioned that needs 2 be updated would be the shinydex and the members list. lol >.> (i don't think im even on the list yet..) lmfao.. well ye gl all
P.S. TPP, you rele like the shiny water starters don't you? -_-

King Kobra October 24th, 2006 6:29 PM

Update: 3960 Seen, none Shiny...

I'm planning on doing some hunting in Art Class, seeing as I'm two weeks ahead of the class so I have two weeks of lull-time. ^_^

I dunno what Shiny to go for after Scyther, because I think I'm getting close to wrapping it up and finding it! I'm thinking something I can reset for as fast as Scyther, but not in FireRed, because I want to beat the Elite Four (still haven't beaten Blain because I've been sitting in the Game Corner exchange trying for Scyther). I think I'll go for Rayquaza, because I haven't caught it in hopes of having it Shiny eventually.

Any ideas?



<I>Kobra<I>

Ullion October 24th, 2006 7:01 PM

You could SR for a shiny johto starter if you have emerald?
Btw does anyone here in this club have a shiny Meganium or Typhlosion? And that they actually got themsleves, adn not traded for..?

pokebryce October 24th, 2006 10:01 PM

could anyone give me a link to the new SHC cards because mines really old.
i'll probably wait until i get my next shiny first.

Edit: found it!!!!!

Ullion October 25th, 2006 4:36 AM

Try not to get frusterated lol, and dont forgot, MM has seen over 14k treekos XD so you shouldnt be getting too angry when around 300ish right?
Nevertheless, i'm almost at fortree, im at the weather institue, about 2 face the admiral or w/e... ha i'll kick her *** lol and all my pkmn have evolved at least once now! Yippie, my pokes right now: Blaziken, Nuzleaf, Seadra, Lairon, Machoke and Vibrava.

willypiggy October 25th, 2006 10:47 AM

yeah, i guess you could say that, KS. i already got the shiny mudkip (which is now a swampert), so now i want the shiny blastoise. i never really liked totodile for some reason. well, it's now been one week since i began hunting for the shiny squirtle, but still no luck, but i won't quit. back to the hunt. *turns on gameboy*

~Shadow~ October 25th, 2006 2:24 PM

Congratz on the eevee roadkirby!Still no luck on luigia*turns on gba also*Ill try again.

Lil-Dill October 25th, 2006 4:03 PM

WOW! I'm still stunned about me catching a shiny Eevee!!! But stilll no new Shiny Mareep!!!

King Kobra October 25th, 2006 4:03 PM

sinhy legendaries: You probably know this, but you need one open spot in your party and one pokeball for a Shedinja (but you most likely know that already)

Update: 4000 Soft Resets reached! *fanfare* Ok, not nearly as much as MM's Treecko hunt, but whatever. I'm not having such good luck on my first hunt. >.< Knowing my luck, I'll probably get a female Scyther with a Nature that lowers either Attack or Speed. -_-

But that can't stop me from claiming my prize! ^_^

Hey, all. I'm here to announce the benchmark of having seen 16384 Treeckos. That's twice the mean!

There's not much else to say. I'll be around.

Edit: Oh, to whomever asked it, I haven't seen any shiny Zigzagoons, which is quite worrying. ._.

FaNtEcH October 25th, 2006 9:21 PM

Congrats with that! Lugia is a nice shiny. I would definitely soft reset for it if I had the Aurora Ticket, but there is no hope for that now. At least I have the Eon Ticket.

Oh, and that reminds me, I'm switching back to SRing for Latias when I get back from school today. I have to leave to go to my bus stop in 7 minutes :)

willypiggy October 26th, 2006 4:52 AM

Well juding from the time you made the post and the time it is now id say your probabley at school but if your not then RUN! currentley on 100 resets (I know its not much but meh) and nos hiny so I think ill play diamond for a bit :)

Razer302 October 26th, 2006 5:08 AM

i am so glad it is half term i have veen playing through fire red and looking for shinies at the same time but havent found any yet.
I havent found one for a few months now so i hope i get one soon.

well that means no shiny regirock just yet well bye

MetalMario October 26th, 2006 12:54 PM

I think I'm onto a new shiny hunting soft reset strategy--entropy pool manipulation.

My current hypothesis is that the game uses user input as a source of random data for the random number generation. Here's what I have to go on--not much, but something:

Quote:

766. Relaxed
767. Rash
770. Relaxed
771. Relaxed
772. Impish
773. Naive
774. Impish
775. Lonely
776. Quirky
777. Bashful
***
778. Adamant
779. Careful
780. Serious
781. Quirky
782. Lonely
This is a listing of the natures of several 20HP females I've encountered. Before the stars, I was simply resetting and trying for the Treecko again. At the stars, I walked around a bit, saved, then resumed soft resetting. The significant recurrence of Relaxed and Impish (I had seen a couple of Impish before writing them down) ceased, suggesting that what steps you take/when are used in the RNG's entropy pool. Now, without knowing exactly how the RNG operates and the current state of the entropy pool, there's not much we can do as far as manipulation goes, but we can ensure its randomness by taking short breaks (walking around randomly) when in an otherwise endless trial of SRs.

16683 Treeckos seen.

ONTOPIC: Oh. That is NOT good. X.X I really wanted one. I hope I find one.

I found my shiny Pikachu!!!!!! YEAY!!!! I'm gonna name it Chi. ^____^

OFFTOPIC: Snap, I got my Pikachu from the SZ, but that bad egg I got? It hatched. O.O I hate glitches....

I looked it up on google. It isen't supposed to hatch. Luckly, nothing bad happened to my game file or my pokemon, or anything that I know of. I'm still checking everything.

B.T.W., I think what it hatched into was a ??. A glitch "place-holder" pokemon.

Chesters_love October 26th, 2006 12:59 PM

yeah ill hunt after diner,and after homework.

can you put this all into english please

still no shiny regirock

willypiggy October 26th, 2006 1:22 PM

basicley if you walk around save and then reset there was a more common nature that appeared a lot more than just resetting, gratz on the shiny nina-chan and that badd egg shouldnt hatch :\

=3 Thanks for the concern, but I think I'm in the clear. I stored the ?? in the PC, and nothing happened. I saved it, shut it off, reloaded it, and nothing happened. It hasent frozen yet, and none of my pokemon seem harmed, either. I'm gonna keep looking for mistakes, but everything seems a-ok.

Ontopic: And so continues the hunt for shiny Zangoose. ^^;

Ullion October 26th, 2006 4:47 PM

GL Nina, oh and grats as well! I wish i could get another shiny XD... anyways..
Well.. to be hionest w/ ya'll, nuthin new :( but if i was lieing, i would say i had just caught a shiny... absol *eyes wonder around the room* lol... ye.. :P
Ha... i luv Pokerus... when my blaziken lvled from 36-37, it gained +5hp, +4atk, +3def, +4spatk, +3spdf and +5spd! I found that kidna isnane... then again.. this IS the first time ive had a boost like that... maybe i should but the Machobrace on him as well? XD Well... ive made it to lilycove, then went back 2 fortree, cuz i need 2 be Winny, lol... i always go to Lilycove first.. lol.. anyways... my team now: Blaziken (39), Seadra, Machoke, Lairon, Vibrava, Nuzleaf (all lvl37). SO think i can beat winny? And any strategies? And dont say "DONT USE NUZLEAF!" cuz i know that -_-... lol... i'm thinking to just use seadra/blaziken and sweep her... hopefully... if not i can chuck Lairon in... but won't do much good against her ALtaria.. XD

King Kobra October 26th, 2006 9:03 PM

Grats on teh Pikachu Nina! ^_^

Probably getting a good 100-200 in tonight (haven't been hunting very well lately) and hopefully get Scyther within that...

After Scyther, I'll go for Rayquaza (maybe) and while I'm doing that, I'll finish FR and beat the Elite Four. If I don't go for Rayquaza, I'll most likely try for a Ghastly or something, maybe an Electrike. If I build up enough courage I'll go for hatching a pinsir again, but probably not...

Good luck on the Shint Hunting everybody!

It's Just Fufu October 27th, 2006 4:07 AM

MM, those numbers on the side, are they equal to the amount of steps you hypothesize you should take to make the desired nature appear more often?

MM, you are really smart, too. Geez, it took me like 10 minutes to understand part of that(without looking at other posts).

If that's the case, I should take about 778 steps. I want my shiny Snorlax to have an Adamant nature :)

Ullion October 27th, 2006 4:31 AM

I don't think he meant steps, no offense. I think tis more like the treeko's he was SRing for, prob back a while tho, cuz on that same post he ahd like 16683 or something like that *is 2 lazy 2 look up*

Steps? No. Pseudo-random numbers are NEVER that obvious. Consider the function: 31x^2+8191x mod 20. (a mod b is the remainder you get from dividing a by b.) Suppose x is the number of steps you've taken. You'll notice that the resulting number (between 0 and 19) has no apparent connection to x, and you'd probably be lost to find the formula unless you already knew it. This is one technique used in generating pseudorandom numbers (and probably a very bad one, since it's just off the top of my head)

What I was talking about is how there's the risk of constantly drawing the same numbers over and over again if you don't toss some new random data into the random number generator. Think of it as a pot with a bunch of balls with numbers written on them. You draw a number, look at it, then put it back. If you don't mix the balls in the pot around a bunch every once in a while, you're bound to keep drawing the same numbers while others go unpicked.

Edit: Oh, and please don't go making assumptions about what I'm saying without actually understanding, as it's by such means that all sorts of whacko rumours get started. (like how having a lower trainer ID supposedly enhances your chances of finding shinies -.-)

King Kobra October 27th, 2006 10:12 AM

Wow MetalMario, you seriously have a dizzying logic (and just a -bit- too much time on your hands) ^_^

Well, it didn't go as planned...

Update: Still 4000, I didn't even try, I'll most likely get some in today (hopefully) and I hope I won't have to go far before I get Shiny Scyther...

Suppose x is the number of steps you've taken. You'll notice that the resulting number (between 0 and 19) has no apparent connection to x, and you'd probably be lost to find the formula unless you already knew it. This is one technique used in generating pseudorandom numbers (and probably a very bad one, since it's just off the top of my head)

What I was talking about is how there's the risk of constantly drawing the same numbers over and over again if you don't toss some new random data into the random number generator. Think of it as a pot with a bunch of balls with numbers written on them. You draw a number, look at it, then put it back. If you don't mix the balls in the pot around a bunch every once in a while, you're bound to keep drawing the same numbers while others go unpicked.

Edit: Oh, and please don't go making assumptions about what I'm saying without actually understanding, as it's by such means that all sorts of whacko rumours get started. (like how having a lower trainer ID supposedly enhances your chances of finding shinies -.-)


I think I understand it a LITTLE better now... thanks

Oh, and the rumor about having a low ID was definitely not started by me. I've just said the stronger the correlation between the visible ID and the secret ID, the more often the RNG spits out the number for a pokemon to be shiny... that is correct, right?

And by any chance, would you happen to know when Suicune/Entei/Raikou's values are set in FR/LG?

Edit: I like the thing you did with your sig. Very funny.

Tha Pkmn Prodigy October 27th, 2006 2:43 PM

well, i still havent found the shiny squirtle....its been over a week, but no luck. i started a new game to start the hunt over, so i can have a stronger vis. ID and secret ID correlation. i'll let you all know how the hunt went tomorrow. *walks off, eyes glued to the gameboy*

BTW, do any of u other hunters listen to music while you hunt? i'm gonna listen to Fall Out Boy's Dance, Dance while i SR...maybe it'll summon up the shiny squirtle *prays to shiny gods*

That's what I thought.. anyone else ever get a bad egg on a cart that you KNOW nobody ever used a cheat on? I mean I guess anything is possible, I just never heard of it until now. I read about bad eggs, and about the ?? pokemon, I didn't know the ?? came from a bad egg, very interesting. I bought a used cart once that had ?? pokemon on it.. I restarted the game and have not ran into any glitches that I know of in that cart. Ok, enough about glitches and stuff, lets move on to shinies..

I am still shiny hunting in Ruby.. still fishing in random places for whatever shiny I can catch. I am hunting in the game I found my first shiny in. (it was a wurmple that is now a beautifly) Hopefully something will come up shiny soon!

Well, no offence but don't start complaining even if you don't catch it in a month or two. I've been at my Scyther Hunt for around 5-6 Months. I've had 4100 resets so far and it still hasn't given in.

By the way, I listen to music when I Shiny Hunt, just not Fall Out Boy -_- I prefer the suculent sounds of the Mortal Kombat Theme Song and Dragostei Din Tei. ^_^

Update: 4100 Resets, Scyther isn't budging. I sincerely hope that I'm not going to have to reach a number like MetalMario's!

no ur right lol . there is no reason anyone should ever run into a bad egg , producew a bad egg , or run into anypokemon marked ?? or any other name then what it should be unless they cheated in sum way . no the cloning glitch on emerald and also the berry glitch on emerald do not produce bad eggs or ?? pokemon or pokemon with names they shouldnt have . the only downside to the cloning glitch is the occasional mess up and u lose the pokemon trying to clone and lost data (which far as i know only two ppl say they had lost their entire file from cloning >.> ) and the berry glitch while it does mess up ur game for fun such as 99999999 hp and being able to evolve pokemon while they are inside the egg so u could theoreticaly hatch a level five charizard or sumn it does not produce bad eggs or ?? pokemon . far be it from me to question anyone in this club or their catchs but far as I know and will keep believing only cheaters aka cheat device users can get bad eggs and ?? and so for me personaly wether they used a device to get the shiny or not makes no diffrence the data is messed up and i wont credit any of their catchs . which I guess is a good thing seeing how im not an owner or co-owner and im not the one making shiny hunter club cards . XD

♠Shiny♠Mr.Mime♠ October 28th, 2006 5:16 AM

well i am back and no new shinys did a little sring for shiny regirock last night i hit 6700 and still no shiny well wish me luck bye

It's Just Fufu October 28th, 2006 5:39 AM

Actually Shido, you can see the 2 Question Mark MissingNo. without cheating your game. It is possible, MissingNo. Master claims to have one and a boy I knew who no longer plays pokemon had one. He showed it to me. But a few months ago before I found out about here he restarted his games and sold them. I know he didn't cheat because he doesn't know what a GS is, and he is against cheating.

I'm SRing for Mewtwo obviously. I might play a little bit of Smash.

♠Shiny♠Mr.Mime♠ October 28th, 2006 6:24 AM

mmsp are you going to add your sceptile to you tc

and btw good luck with shiny mewtwo

well no new shinys i am trying to get through my emerald but i am still trying to get sedinja well wish me luck bye

I'm waiting for MM to do it.

Well, everyone do the Shiny Dance for earlier today I got a shiny Mewtwo! It has a Sassy nature and I haven't trained it one level yet, I'm still admiring it... and well, I can't think of a good moveset and EV Spread for it. I wish it had something like Adamant, or even better, Modest.

My sights are now set on Latias COMPLETELY. That now 3 shinies where I could've gotten a shiny Latias.

Ullion October 28th, 2006 10:11 AM

Ok XD i hate you! :'( you've got 4+ shinies this month, elt alone these few weeks. Seriously.. XD
bah anyways grats on the new shiny....
haha.. i jus came back from havin a shower, but before that i beat winona and got to lilycove, she was prete ez... i used my new knoqwledge on EVs and abse stats etc to know that Altaria culdnt OHKO my blaziken. :P and well.. i pounded ehr down and she cried in defeat >:] lol.. well i'm off to Mt Pyre! lol XD

It's Just Fufu October 28th, 2006 10:20 AM

I've only gotten 3 shinies this month. Porygon, Treecko, and now Mewtwo.

However, I gotten 6 shinies since I obtained my shiny Charmander in July. I consider myself to be VERY lucky for that. I just hope I'm even luckier in D/P.

Oh, and we DON'T know if the chances of finding shinies has risen or lowered in D/P. So don't ask.

I'll explain, leaving out the unimportant facts: For each Pokémon you battle, a random number between 0 and 8191 is drawn. There's also a number associated with your save file between 0 and 8191. If the two match, you have a shiny. The number associated with your save file is competely hidden. My hypothesis is that some numbers are drawn more regularly than others, implying that some save files will have a higher encounter rate than others. This is a theory only.

It's based off something from Star Trek TNG. Data was losing to Worf in poker, which he attributed to random chance--therefore, a temporary situation. Jeordi responds, "you hope!"

16789 Treeckos seen.

And I'll get to the cards fairly shortly.

Tha Pkmn Prodigy October 28th, 2006 11:46 AM

another shiny MMSP!? you make me sick.....congrats tho!! god i just hope im that lucky with the shiny squirtle...

willypiggy October 28th, 2006 12:00 PM

omg MMSP do you have a shiny ritual or something? You are so lucky! Well anyway I did a few more resets im at about 300ish now but meh, as normall nothing.

It's Just Fufu October 28th, 2006 1:12 PM

OK, MM, next time I won't assume things :) Though I'm very interested in how you arrived at that hypothesis.

Willypiggy, tbh, I have no ritual. I do have a tradition though. I ALWAYS soft reset on FR in the Black GBA. Oh, that is another detail I left out, I got shiny Mewtwo early this morning on the Black GBA. Like all my other FR shinies. I'm pretty sure it is just coincidence because I doubt the type of Game Boy Advance you play would affect the chances of seeing a shiny.

Edit: Oh, and my sights aren't set completely on Latias anymore :) I just remembered I've yet to get that elusive shiny Lapras. Though I'll still be mainly SRing for Latias, I'll get in a couple in for Lapras here and there.

♠Shiny♠Mr.Mime♠ October 28th, 2006 1:15 PM

well still no shiny
i can sr for shiny regirock for two more hours then i am going to my homecoming dance yay well wish me luck

Ullion October 28th, 2006 1:52 PM

Oh cool, i finally get what MM is trying to say! haha XD wow i feeel so dumb, well im at lilycove, i need 2 infiltrate aquabase (i beta maxie alrede) so ye >.>
btw... SEADRA IS WICKED AWESOME! i cant wait til he evolves.. i think its actually a she.. but w/e..

~Shadow~ October 28th, 2006 8:04 PM

I went through 4k lugias to find mine,which is a record of 7 hours of straight playing.Now ill go hunt a shiny zizzagoon.this might be easy.

I'm surprised no one noticed that.

Okay, once again, I lied about who my next target is. I've yet to get a shiny from Pokemon Emerald, so I'm shiny hunting for Beldum on that.

Emerald: Beldum
Ruby: Latias
FireRed: Scyther/Lapras(I'm having trouble deciding right now)
Sapphire: Playing through(I only have one badge)

♠Shiny♠Mr.Mime♠ October 28th, 2006 9:53 PM

hello guys i am going to buy some more dratinis the thought of have a shiny team got me thinking

i think this would be my shiny team that i am trying to construct
charizard:have already
dragonite:hunting
regirock:hunting
and if you want to add three more that will be fine with me well bye


edit:
well my dratini hunt didnt go as well i wanted it but i will keep on buying three at a time then sr until one is shiny what is the best nature for shiny dragonite?

Ullion October 29th, 2006 9:40 AM

+Spatk -something >.> so look on serebii and find his lowest abse stat. XD lol... and then teach him dragon claw, ice beam, thunder bolt and most team amkers round ehre say substitue i think >.> *cant quite remember*

Tha Pkmn Prodigy October 29th, 2006 10:32 AM

well, i still haven't found the shiny squirtle yet....*looks evilly at MMSP* but as usual, im not giving up. i played ruby for a couple hours, hunting for the shiny electrike on that, but no luck.

It's Just Fufu October 29th, 2006 12:01 PM

The best nature for Dragonite would be Adamant. Dragon Dance/Aerial Ace/Earthquake/filler

But since you are SRing for one, you could have a Modest one:

Flamethrower
Dragon Claw
Thunderbolt
Ice Beam
...Special sweeping Dragonite is a bit lol though.

Or you could have something like Brave/Quiet for this

Focus Punch
Substitute
Ice Beam
Thunderbolt
