Most Common Shiny Caught
 
i was wondering what is the most common shiny caught??

♥Naomi♥ June 15th, 2006 9:33 AM

the chance is always 1/8126 or something close to that.
so there is no most common shiny.

Actually, the probability is 1/8192, get it straight people! Where the heck are you getting these random probabilities?

I think he meant what is the shiny that most people have either seen or own. If so, I think it is either Zigzagoon or Poochyena

In three playthroughs I have only seen two shinies: a shiny Linoone which I caught, and a shiny Carvanha which I tried to catch but killed. --;

All I have found is two shiny Barboach, and a shiny Shuppet.

Because the probability of seeing a shiny is 1/8192, the most common shiny would also be the most common pokemon. If you think about it, if you see 8192 pokemon, and 2000 of them are Poochyena (for argument's sake) then your chances of finding a shiny Poochy are much higher than finding a shiny Skarmory, which you may only see 10 or 15 times out of the 8192.

I have only bumped into one shiny Pokemon, which was Tentacool, and that was over 2 years ago in Gold/Silver.

Ultimate_Evil June 17th, 2006 12:20 PM

alot of my friends have shiny pidgys. i do too but i can get any shiny pokemon with my shark.

Flamman June 19th, 2006 12:31 PM

the only one i have ever found was a shiny walrein in the tower >_< i almost ate my gba out of frustration!

Keruri June 19th, 2006 4:18 PM

Never, in all my 7 years of obsessive pkmn gaming, have I ever seen a shiny. (NOT including red gyrados, obviously... jeez.) My friend had a shiny scizor, though. Besides red gyrados, the most common shiny would most probably be one of the more common wild pokemon.

Lady Demoonica Darkmoon June 19th, 2006 11:34 PM

Zigzagoon, but I've caught three shiny Oddish...

dkw0101 June 22nd, 2006 3:17 PM

In Silver, I encountered a shiny Drowzee. Batteries died when I caught it. Found a shiny Zigzagoon in Sapphire. Killed it. Found a shiny Aron as well. Someone saved a new game over mine. I've seen my three shinies, and they're gone. Lucky me...

Actually, the odds of Poochyena being shiny (0%) and Skarmory being shiny is 33.33% why is this? Skarmory lives in the route which Sandshrew and Spinda live in. And there won't be any Poochyena in sight guranteeing that Poochyena cannot be shiny in that area. Poochyena lives on various routes so the percents of seeing one shiny out of the other pokemon can vary. But I know that you just took them as examples. : )

And even if you see about 2000 Poochyenas, the odds out of 8192 are reset everytime.
