I also got my 1st Shiny i got a Shiny Golbat but it's not good though...

I thought have a shiny pokemon would be great but i was hoping for something better.
Just try Pokeradar then! SRing also works, but I've spent ungodly amounts of hours to no avail... I do have many shiny shinx, doduo, shellos & more, so it's easily possible!

I don't know what SRing is, and pokeradar is ticking me off. I was told I need to get a high chain, but it seems near impossible for me. the highest chain I've been able to achieve is 19 ralts, but no better than that, and nothing even close since that. _._

Soft Resetting is resetting the game without having to reset the whole console. For GBA pokemon games, you press A, B, Start and Select. For D/P it's L, R, Start and Select. It takes a whole bunch for a shiny to appear though... Go to YouTube and type in phcphc14 and watch his chaining guide for help. Before that, if you want some basics, watch Shukochan's Chaining vid. And don't worry about pokeradar. You'll get a shiny by that chain amount eventually. I've gotten shiny aron at 15 and starly at 8. In fact, aron was my first shiny! Just keep trying... Anyways to stay on topic, I hope that pokeradar and SRing is still in and still works (respectively) in Platinum. If it's so much better, than you should need a chain of 20 and have 1/500 chances of getting a shiny! Which means it better get better!

I wish I had shinies... and I wish I could comprehend guides. -_-' But, I really can't chain over 19 pokemon at a time, so I decided, screw it.

The only shiny I ever caught was completely random... it was the first visit to Stark Mountain with Buck, and the first battle I ran into was a shiny magcargo. I named it shinyslug. Only shiny ever caught, and I think it will be the only one.

Don't think like that! I was never gonna catch a shiny, then BAM. Chain of fifteen, I had earlier gotten it up to the 30's then it broke. I wanted to cry. I restarted chain, then I see this weird thing, but thought it was my imagination. I went to it. My Aron chain didn't brake, even though the patch had white on it. Aron was a common patch. *Arons Call* BLING! So, yeah. It's possible anywhere. I've heard of activate, then right away, shiny. I also got shiny starly at a chain of 8, so anything's possible! GL all!

You have a LOT of shinies. O__O' Well I guess I can keep at it, but I can't really keep a single chain that long...

I have a couple shinys. How can you tell them on the Poke Radar?
There is a patch of grass that doesn't move, but SPARKLES... Go to my profile and check out the pictures. It looks kinda like four of the underground treasure sparkles on a patch of grass that is flashing...

Go to youtube and look at phcphc14's chaining guide. shuckochan's video helped me get the basics as well.
I only have 2 shinys
A weavel (got it from a sneasel shiny by the lakefront snow place)
and heatran.
I dont use it and honestly hate it. Its one of the worst type combos ever :\
But I wont trade it.
Did you use Pokeradar for the sneasel and SR for Heatran? Is the Weavile good?

Uhm, excuse me, but how does soft resetting help get you shinies?

i wanna be the wind that fills your sails,
& be the hand that lifts your veil.
& be the moon that moves your tide,
the sun coming up in your eyes.
be the wheels that never rust,
& be the spark that lights you up.
all that you've been dreaming of and more,
so much more, i wanna be your everything.. <3

After a while you will find it shiny instead of normal. And yes, I do use Shinies in battle, soon to be flygon, eventually dialga, eventually salamence, and sometimes victreebell.

are these shinies even good competetive battlers?
to bad you can't raise your chances of breeding a shiny by making a shiny a parent then you could eventually get the nature you want for a shiny

I believe Shinies used to be stronger than normal Pokemon in Generation II due to the fact that they are determined by IV's. However, in Gen. III and IV, because they are based on Trainer ID and Personality Value, they are pretty much just like any other Pokemon except for the fact that they're different colored.

Despite the bonus of backwards compatibility allowing for a shiny Pokémon to learn Generation I TMs, provided it was a Generation I Pokémon, shiny Pokémon are only slightly above average in terms of IVs.

But does soft resetting work better (for finding shinies) than just walking around in the grass?

I'm afraid not. It'll always be 1/8192. Some people are just lucky with Soft Reset.

you have the same chances unless your chaining
SRing is for legendary pokemon or pokemon your given like Evee, which I unfortunatly forgot about and save after obtaining
it also works for eggs but you have to save before yu receive the egg since that when all the values and stuff is determoned about the pokemon
i also made the mistake of saving after when I received the Riolu egg...

Oh I see... This is getting a bit off topic but since you mentioned eggs: So you have to save before you receive the egg, and once the daycare man/Riley or whomever gives you the egg hands it to you, then the IV's/gender/if it's gonna be a shiny or not factor is already determined? So if you're aiming for a shiny then you gotta keep restarting before the person gives you the egg right?
