how do I find shiny pokemon?
 
In pokemon heartgold and soul silver, are there any tricks to get a shiny pokemon? If so, what are the tricks?

Well, I hear that if you have a foreign ditto in the daycare, it doubles your chances of getting a shiny in the egg. It may also help if the other parent is foreign also.

"If you breed pokemon from different regions, for example a Japanese ditto, with an American ponyta, the chances of hatching a shiny becomes 1/2048 rather than 1/8192. It's called the Masuda Method."

Damn I thought the above poster was misinformed!

You can get one over Wi-fi in the GTS.

Thanks! I will do that. And what are the chances of a shiny pokemon hatching from an egg from the ditto?

Or you could stalk the trade boards and look for one... and to answer your question...or to repeat someone's answer
the chances of hatching a shiny becomes 1/2048 rather than 1/8192.

^Not my words the guy above somewhere (:

Other than the Masuda Method and RNG, the only other way to find a Shiny is by luck and chance. Everything mentioned above pretty much answers this question though. Might I direct you to use the HG/SS Help Thread for further questions please.
