Shiny FAQ
What is a shiny?
A shiny is a pokemon that is off-color. Shinnies are very rare, so if you come across one, make every attempt you can to catch it. Is there anything special about a shiny other than the color? No, shinnies are collector items. A shiny won't be extra powerfull or anything like that. Where can I find shinnies? Shinnies can be found any way you can obtain a pokemon, or in the Battle Tower. You can get shinnies by catching them, hatching them or obtaining them from people (i.e. prof. oak). Some people say you can even see a shiny Raltz when Wally finds one in Ru/Sa, and the poocheyna that chases Prof. Britch as well. How often do shinnies appear? 1 out of every 8195 pokemon is shiny on average. Can I breed shininess over from a shiny parent? No, this only worked in GSC. You will still have the same chance as normal in Ru/Sa/Fr/Lg/Em. How do I know if a pokemon is shiny? If you run into a shiny in the wild, stars will fly around it as soon as the battle starts. Shinnies are also usually obviously discolored. Is there a place where I can see what shinnies look like? Go here. - - - - - - If anyone has anything to add to this FAQ, feel free to PM me so I can add it. |
just a little apreciation so u can correct ur faq!!
The fact that 1 out of each 8195 pokemon is shiny is totally INCORRECT following this, when u fight 8195 battles a shiny will appear, well this is not true! What i mean is that when u battle the prob will be 1/8195 and when u battle again the prob will be the same and not 1/8194. so that sall i wanted to say AND also that the poochyena that pursuits the professor at the beggining of Ruby/sapphire can also be shiny (i found i my 5th time i started, darn, no pokeballs lol) |
