Instead of having two stickies dealing with shiny Pokemon, it will be best to consolidate them both into one thread. Here you can discuss chaining to get a Shiny Pokemon, what Shiny Pokemon you've obtained, and how many. If there's a question you need to ask pertaining to how Shiny Pokemon work, you can look at these threads first before posting here:

Have fun hunting for shinies.

To start things off, how many Shinys do you guys have? I am up to 39 Shinys (excluding duplicates of one Shiny, of course).

Well, up until Thursday the only shinies I've ever had where either from trades or on ROMS...

I got bored on the bus and decided to chain whatever random thing it was that was swarming......

the 6th thing in my chain was one I'd always remember........ I went into a patch (couldn't really tell that it was Shiny 'till the battle... stupid bus >.>) and I ran into...



*DRUMROOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLL*



A SHINY JOLLY Natured.... CUBONE!? o_O

Okay, so it's not the Shiny I've always dreamed of, but... OMG, it's STILL cute! (and I usually LOATHE that shade of green! o_O)


~~~~~

And that's how I got my very first legitimate Shiny.

I've caught by myself:

Two machops from different chains
two bidoofs; one random, one was when i was trying to start a teddiursa chain.
starly
buizel
weepinbell x4
pichu x2 (modest :) )
eevee
krabby x3
shinx
geodude x2

I think that's it.

and i saw a shiny patch for a staravia, on a chain of 9, but missed it. T_T
just like how i killed the 5th weepinbell. =P

p.s. i felt too lazy to type properly so that explains why i didn't use caps etc.

I hatched a shiny lonely Absol two days ago with decent IVs and Super Luck, so I was ecstatic about that (note sig). Today I was EV training that same Absol by chaining the pokemon I needed to beat and I stumbled across a shiny Gastrodon. So I have two shinys now from the fourth gen.

Overall, I think I've caught four shinys: one Kakuna in Crystal, one Zubat in Leafgreen, and the Absol and Gastrodon.

My first shiny was a poochyena in sapphire. Golden :D
Sadly i didn't keep that one.
Same goes for my shiny zubat...

My current NON-chained shinys:
Steelix
Golem
Oddish
Even a man who is pure in heart
And says his prayers by night
May become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms
And the moon is shining bright
Or crave another's blood when the sun goes down
And his body takes to flight

Hooray for copy & paste! Long story... well, long, I caught shiny Palkia today:



I was watching a random episode of Star Trek TNG while doing soft resets idly--one of my main time filling methods to get lots of SRs done, when it came. I darted upstairs and turned my PC on, but it couldn't turn on fast enough for my satisfaction! With cameras rolling, I proceeded with the surgically precise capture.

Out goes my Timid syncher in exchange for PaperWeit, my Bronzong sleeper/wall slave. Dragon Claw on the switch. The (quite speedy, hmm...) Palkia fires a Water Pulse before I can fire Hypnosis--missed! Let's try this again. Another Water Pulse! Bronzong is confused! Bronzong hurt itself in its confusion. -.-; (I guess the gay tactics are made up for by the extreme luck in finding the sono***un. o__o)

Full Restore is used to heal my almost dead Zong and cure confusion. Palkia uses Ancientpower for lol% damage. Again I pick Hypnosis and Palkia uses Spatial Rend, for not very much damage either. Hypnosis connects this time and Palkia is asleep.

Out goes Zong and in goes my slave Bibarel. Without fear, Bibarel begins attacking the Strawberry Ice Cream Jetplane with its Super Fangs. Midway through, Palkia wakes up, but Bibarel keeps on gnawing, going down in a blaze of glory after the fifth Fang connects.

It's back to Zong for the finish, and he takes another Water Pulse on the switch. After healing up with Moomoo Milk, it's time for another barrage of Hypnosis. After another weak Spatial Rend, Hypnosis is a hit! Now, which ball to throw...

Dusk? Too spooky. Great? Too plain. How about I throw a Premier Ball now just to see what happens? Sure, the red opening is a bit apt, but what the hell? *shake 1* ... *shake 2* ... *shake 3* ... it's... in? HOLY! SHINY PALKIA IS MINE!! :D:D

What this calls for is a Shiny Dex:



This time around, to keep the Tubers quiet, I pick up my Pearl Orb straight off (well, after saving), then head out. After killing a hapless Clefairy, I can fly to the nearest Pokécenter and check my new beauty's stats.

Stat Page 1 Stat Page 2 Stat Page 3

Wicked! My Syncher worked and Palkia is Timid! I have no clue what its IVs are like and am too lazy to use a calculator.

Now, it's time to finish the rest of the game. However, I have still to play through Diamond all the way (not for shinies this time) to collect legendaries (mainly the pixies) so I can get NatDex on Pearl without needing to capture Mesprit. Or does anyone have one they're willing to lend? ;)

So I guess this means I've won the Palkia race. Good luck to everyone else! Don't quit just because someone else beat you to it. It really is May Mayhem, and you'll never know what might shine around the corner! ;)

Does it really show the shiny version in the Dex, or is it only when it's caught?

And here's your IVs: Timid #484 Palkia: 18 - 19 / 5 - 8 / 28 - 29 / 15 - 17 / 24 - 25 / 22 - 23

^ It won't be a permenant thing, you'll only see it Shiny in the 'dex after you have caught it. If you check the 'dex entry after the battle, it will be in it's normal colours.

And i've reached 40 in a new chain, of Wobbuffet xP
Zero Shinies so far, as I had a break after getting to 40.

x5 (Updated :O)

I'll update when I catch some :P

Edit: Caught one, Synch didn't work as I got a Brave male ^^'
Oh well, here's the proof -

A Shiny Wobbuffet appears!

Wobba'dex

Edit 2: I now have 5 - three males and two females.
