Just wondering how long it has taken other members to soft reset for a shiny pkmn?
The Rayquaza in my sig took me 40 minutes but I have been SRing for a Groudon on Ruby for over 6 hours total so far and still no shiny. :disappoin

So, how long did it take to get your SR shinies

I am probably past 8 hours now SRing for shiny Groudon.
When I finally get the shiny I wil probably never SR for shinies again.

I never found what the big facination is with shiny pokemon, my friend he got all the shiny legends along with his starter shiny, now he might of cheated, but still after like the first three, I was bored with the whole concept. Now mabey like one or mabey two shines, no more, thats just too much..... at least I think so. :D (but the black Rayquaza and Charizard do look cool)

Question about SRing do you do it as soon as the battle starts(aka dont attack just do it)?

And does soft reseting only work on the DS?

woahhh!!! are you that guys dedicated????
I am very dedicated to this Groudon. :D
I refuse to waste the hours I have spent SRing by catching a normal Groudon.
I think I'm up to like 16 hours now, probably more. (I lost count ages ago)

I can't believe how long it's taking. The Rayquaza took 40 MINUTES SRing for the shiny. :(

You guys waste this much time for a Pokemon that is a different color...
It's not a waste of time to the people that want a shiny Pokemon. It all pays off afterward.

Anyway, I've never SRed for anything, but I might SR for Rayquaza, like most of you. That's the only shiny I'm really interested in, other than Eevee, which I can chain for in Diamond.
