In the Trade Section, I saw lots of ppl having about 50 shinies... how did they get this many shinies? I am new to this game so I dunno if it could be cheating or hard work... if there is an answer to this, can anyone answer ?

LOTS of Trading. and quite a bit of patience.

GTS would be easy- you won't have anyone begging for another Shiny.

also, cloning can also make more pokes to trade so... yeah.

They're either VERY lucky in thier game, or they trade a LOT. Usually both.

I got all my Shinys from trades (exept for like... one of them, wich I made as a fan-event)

Don't forget about Chaining. It's a new mechanic in DP that allows you to actually hunt for shinies.

I've never done it, though.

Most people chain for 1 or 2 shinies, and then clone them and trade them for other shinies. You see how it expands. I started with a charitable chap giving me a shiny charmander, im nowon 40 or so :P

Most people with a billion shinies traded all of them or what another person said is to chain. Most people I know here clone their shinies.

You almost sound proud to admit that. :\

As for me, most of them have come from trading. Like Gofre someone very nicely gave me a shiny Charmander also, and proceeded to collect a few different ones. I still haven't got many, but now I'm pretty good at chaining so most of mine come from in game.
