First shiny i encountered was a magnemite in firered. I caught it, even though i didnt know what shiny's were. Soon after that my brother deleted my save file since he was very young.

Second shiny was Geodude in pokemon silver, it was the beggining of the game so i didn't have money to get pokeballs.

I think thats it other than that i have over 100+ legit shinys.

75% of Pokemon gamers use cheats and specially made codes to make their pokemon battle-worthy. If you are one of the 25% percent that level their Pokemon up legally, put this in your signature.

You just have to be at the right place at the right time - unless you use RNG abuse of course.

Just keep battling wild Pokemon and eventually you'll encounter more shinys :)

It's a random thing. You'd just have to battle wild Pokemon at the most random places at the most random times.

I've encountered a few shinies, but each have been in past generation games. I've yet to encounter any in the 4th generation games (asides from the Red Gyarados in PKMN HG/SS).

The only shinies I've encountered in the wild are Cleffa & Krabby, in Pokémon Crystal, and Poochyena & Rayquaza, in Pokémon Emerald.

I've tried my hand at chain'ing, a few times, but have yet to succeed... eheh...

... whats your favorite shiny?
I have to say, I've always thought that Umbreon in their alternate colours are beautiful :)

so tell me. if i get any pokemon and another pokemon from the same egg group but from another country, i could get a shiny???
The Matsuda method only increases your chances of hatching a shiny, and does not garentee it.

Currently, I am replaying through Pokémon Platinum, and I am saved in front of Giritina. I've been wondering something, so if someone could answer the following question, it'd be much appreciated.

Hypothetically, if I were to repeatedly soft-reset until Giritina appeared in it's alternate colours, and then defeated/ran away from it... After defeating the Elite Four and returning to interact with Giritina again, will it still be shiny?

Additional Information:
I do realize that, in the scenerio that one were to encounter a shiny legendary, they would more than likely use their Masterball. I probably would, too, but I am just curious as to how this specific game mechanic works.

I was in the middle of training my Articuno on Victory Road and I encountered a Shiny Onix:



Level 44 Female and I caught it with just 1 Ultra ball :)

That's the 3rd Shiny I've caught in Pearl

Caught a shiny LV41 Peppileer on route 223 while surfing. Compeletely random enounter, and I caught it after about 6-8 Ultra Balls. It used Roost a couple of times.

My first shiny while playing D/P/Pt.

I got 1st one when my when my brother's school had this festival. These girls were there saying "If you beat us in naming a pokemon, you get a free Mew!" I looked at it, thought it was too hard, and joined my brother. 2 minutes after that, the stall owner came up to me and said if I wanted a Mew. I said OK, she traded me one. Turns out it was shiny. I read the sign and it said on the bootom "1st few people to win will get a small suprise" It isn't legit though. PokeSav'ed. (Heartgold)

My second one is when I was going through some grass at Kanto (near Viridian) and I encountered a shiny caterpie. My 1st legit shiny! (Heartgold)

3rd one when I was grinding on DarkFuture, i encountered a shiny Rattata.

Even though it's not really that recent, I found a random Shiny Starly while EV'ing my Shroomish about 3 or so months ago. Caught it in a Dusk Ball, I think. ^^

It tosses its enemies around with agility. It uses all its limbs to fight in its own unique style.

Well, shinies? I only had 2 shinies that are not Red Gyarados or pre-Gen III.

The first shiny was in Johto Safari Zone - an Electrike. Caught it with the first Safari Ball without doing anything! I guess I lucked out at that time.

The second shiny was in a better place - the route right after Blackthorn, Route 45. I met a shiny Phanpy there. A Quick Ball did the trick.

Now, I'm the proud owner of two non-chained non-outsider shinies.

I've posted here before right? :o

Shinies are a constant occurrence for me, being in the competitive part of the game gives me the patience to breed.

Although my first hatched shiny was a Mudkip... purple :B
