  • Yes. They have a sparkling circle around them when they appear.

  • Maybe thats cause he's a legendary, like Milotic in XD Gale of Darkness has blue sparkles around it in battle.

  • But it's not shiny. Why would my groudon, whom had never been shiny up to this point, suddenly been shiny?

    and I don't think blue sparkles qualify as shiny. that's not an actual color difference.

  • No it has blue sparkles because thats the way they made Milotic in Gale of Darkness. Maybe in revoulution they made Groundon have sparkles around it, just like Kyogre might have too.

  • But that doesn't mean it's shiny. c.c Shiny pokemon ahve alternate colors to them. they're just also recognized by a brief sparkle as they come out of the ball.

    You mean ball capsule, and I wasn't aware that they had integrated ball capsules in PBR.

  • No, I meant the specific ball. Each ball has a different burst of light, which I know from trying different Pokeball types myself both in D/P and PBR. A friend of mine had his team in capsules, but they didn't show the effects when we did a DS Battle. I know because I looked for the letter seals he had put on his whole team.

    Well, I don't see how it would make the pokemon sparkle, but I guess the money is on 'it's shiny when it comes out' which is different from 'it's shiny the whole damn battle.'

    Like I said, it's the ball effect. :D

    Agreed! I have never owned a shiny pokemon and yet some of my pokemon when thrown into field comes up with sparkles. it is ball effect. -agrees with Ichida- ^^
