    It is a funtcion of the game G/S/C/R/S/LG/FR, as something else to try and catch. Plus some episodes of the anime feature shiny Pokemon, like Ash's shiny Noctowl

    • Yeah, that shiny Noctowl was awesome lol.
    And yes shinies are very rare.i think the ratio is 1 out of every82652 something like that.
    If you really want one ther are modifying codes and such to get some.

    • I'm currently looking for a shiny Hopip by hatching eggs.
    I just started yesterday and I know it'll take long. I can't wait though.

    • I have only caught one shiny and that is Dewgong.In my previous games I caught a shiny Poliwhirl,shiny Pidgeotto and a shiny Zubat.Surprisingly though,the Dewgong has very high stats when I caught it but when it levels up,it gets less points for each attribute,like Special Attack and Special Defense.Wierd.By the by,how do I join the Shinies Hunter Club?

    Click on the link in my sig, that will take you to the SHC thread. There, you can post to ask to join (just like any club). Because of an absence of the Founder, we are unable to update the members list as of now, however, we still keep track of the members who's names arn't on the list.

    • Except for a gold oddish and that red gyarados in Pokemon Gold, I haven't seen any other shinies, although I did see that Espeon today in trainer tower.

    The only shinies ive seen on FR/LG or R/S are the 3 in the FR/LG trainer tower. But in Silver i got the red gyarados, and also found a shiny pidgeotto and a shiny zubat at lvl 7 XD and ive racked up almost 300 hours on sapphire and around 250 on FireRed, and thats with restarting an Elite Four beaten sapphire.

    The day after I posted this I went into Lavender Tower to EV train a Houndoom in Sp Atk and lo and behold, a shiny Cubone appeared just as I was going to leave!!! I got it and now it sits one of my boxes so I can take it out and show it off to my friends that still dont have any. XD

    • I've had a thought ( yes, that's what that strange grating sound is... :laugh: )

    Is it 1 in 8195 pokemon seen, or 1 in 8195 pokemon seen of one type alone? If it's the latter, you could speed the hunt up by using AR Encounter codes...

    1/8195 is the chances. It's not a fixed encounter time when you will run into a shiny. Basicly, every time you see a pokemon, you have 0.0001% chance of it being a shiny... Each time you have the same chances, It's not a countdown.
