If I can just soft reset to get a shiny Churine than I don't have to rely on luck hunting for a shiny Monmen.

I don't think you can get a shiny from an in-game trade. Everything is already pre-determined besides the shiny-ness which is dependent on whether or not your Pokemon is shiny. :(

Really? I was wondering about this because I remember I could get a different gender via an in-game trade everytime I soft reset.

There's a few shiny versions that in my view look better than the originals:

Pendoraa - truly the best shiny this generation in my opinion
Erufuun
Kurimugan
Kuitaran
Urugamosu
Terakion - he needed a bit of colour

Funnily enough I really like the normal colourations of all the above Pokemon anyway. In fact I plan to use all 6 in teams at some point. I think most of the other shinies are either:

Better but so similar it makes little difference (Daikenki, Abagoora, Denchura, Kobaruon)
So similar it makes no difference either way (Jaroda, Yanakki, Baokki, Hiyakki)
Different and a lot worse, so no thanks (Ononokusu, Warubiaru, Gigaiasu, Doryuuzu)

Also, Wargle's shiny is awesome - but the original design was so awesome it'd be impossible to mess it up :)

Ahhh, I have to say I'm quite content with this gens shinies. And there's plenty I'd love to own. Still disappointed with Reshirams and Zekroms though.

I've always wondered though... what decides the shiny's colouration?
I've always assumed they had a set "pattern" for creating shinies, but I really don't know.
Do they really decide each pokemon's alternate colouration individually? :/ Because it bugs me that some shinies are so hideous... @[email protected];;

Hmm.. I was thinking. Do you guys think they added in a new technique to find shinies eaier, like similar to those foreign breeding techniques, and the pokeradar? I hope there is a new meathod that you can use in the Dream World.

The Masuda Method will probably return.

I certainly hope it does, not that I ever really used it, but for others sake.

I'm SRing for shiny Zekrom. Been like a week so far and probably estimated of over 4800 Zekroms seen from SRing and running away method combined.
I may go for shiny Victini next after beating the game.

Once you get the national dex is it possible to obtain the national dex pokemon in shiny also X) ?

Yes of course. You just need the national dex to get access to Pokémon apart from generation 5

Victini's shiny looks sick. I really want a shiny, but I already caught my regular one. Level 46. :)

Holy Flying Spaghetti Monster in heaven... I think I just caught myself the pink version of the battle pony Birijion! My first legendary shiny ever!

But why, oh why has this shiny to be pink?!

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire October 2nd, 2010 3:30 PM

Abagoora's shiny version just awesome :D!

Oh Congrats on that shiny! How lucky, a shiny legendary. Were you Soft Resteting for it, or was it completely random?

T'was very random indeed. In fact, it was so sudden that I jumped out of my chair when I saw that hideous pink.

But what really freaked me out was when I trained said pink Birijion and this shiny Reparudasu jumps out of the tall grass.
Just look at this beauiful fur she has... much better than the normal colour palette of this pokemon.

What a day... the last time I encountered two shinies at the same day was in Pokemon Saphire if memories serves right.

LOL the last time I ever found a shiny was like more than a year ago and I have only foound 3 in total. Hopefully my luck will be as good as your when I get the game. Congrats on the shiny sexy leopard too :)

Can someone tell me how a shiny Victiny is cuter than the normal Victiny?

http://veekun.com:81/dex/media/black-white/shiny/494.pnghttp://veekun.com:81/dex/media/black-white/494.png

I don't get it. My sister insists I catch a shiny Victiny because the colour scheme is "better". I think the normal Victiny's colour scheme is more natural.

I think most shinies look unnatural bar a few exceptions.

Jerpy October 3rd, 2010 5:15 AM

A lot of the new shinies look like their made from candy...! :D
Very different array of colours in pastel-like tones... Love 'em!

Yeah...the tan one complements the orange-red, IMO... But the shiny does evoke the feeling of peppermint candy...sorta... :\

chanchimi October 4th, 2010 3:58 PM

I actually like the Shiny Victini more.... But I suppose that that is because Red/White is my favorite color combination.

ScentedLove October 4th, 2010 5:55 PM

Right now I'm soft reseting for a shiny tsutaja I'm only at 2000. I agree I like the shiny Victini more.
