I have a question about shiny Pokemon. I know that they are extremely rare and valuable versions of they're normal forms, but where do you find them?
I am playing Pokemon Leaf Green at the moment, and I have never seen a Shiny Pokemon in that game, or any Pokemon game I have played. Is there something specific I am supposed to do to make them appear?

[I'm sorry if there is already a topic like this, but my computer wasn't loading the search engine to try to look for it. ;-;]

its at random in a 1/8000something chance wherever you can find pokemon.
So theres nothing you can do to make them appear, But in DP there is a item called Pokeradar that chains the pokemon and that help get shinys faster, you can read about that elsewhere because im not typing it. (not to be rude just cuzs its long and im lazt) :)

The chances are 1/8192.

Sadly, there's no way to modify that (unless you cheat like me).

If you had DP, you could just chain, but we're talking Leaf Green.

This SHOULD have been the next game!

No. o____________o;

Where did you get that information? Each wild Pokemon you encounter has a 1/8193 chance of being shiny. This doesn't mean that by 4193 encounters you will have found a shiny Pokemon. It's chosen by each battle, not the overall battle amount. That's basically it... I believe any further information you get is false.

The information is quite obviously false for the very reason that your starters can be shiny.

Yes it's 1/8192. But, you're super lucky to get a shiny starter! Don't worry. You'll find one like I did. Stumbling around looking for something important when a shiny Pokemon appears. Just keep at the game, you might come across one

not that a shiny paras would have been any good...
i got my eevee from celadon as a shiny, god i had some luck :)
it seems more worthwilee when you get a shiny of a decent pokemon.
dont worry, youll find another shiny, and it will be better than a crappy paras

Actually, encountering a shiny Pokemon can also depend on your location.
After leaving alternating cave, from the Hoenn series, the chance of finding a Shiny Pokemon like Magikarp is slightly boosted to 5/8193.

This is just a rumor...
Thats not true in the slightest.

I once caught a shiny Tentacool. Nothing much to brag about, it's not really much special even though it's shiny. I hope that on some games later i see a shiny Latios. <3 :]
Do you play RSE or FireRed/LeafGreen?
Please PM me some tips!



RSE and FR/LG!! <3

List of the Pokemon (GBA) Games that I have played::

Ruby (Finished Main Plot, Captured Legendaries [Rayquaza, Latios])
Sapphire (I just got to touch the Gameboy! >:( ... )
Emerald (Up to the 4th gym only)
FireRed (Reached the Sevii Is., done with the E4 once)
LeafGreen (Currently playing, done with the E4 once, reached Sevii Is. and made it to the Rocket Warehouse in Island 5 =3)

1/8192 of finding one in the wild, or in eggs. If you want a shiny legendary soft reset after saving in front of it but you cant do that for traveling shinys so they are especially rare.

Here is a story:

Listen to this...I had finally made up my mind to catch a Shiny Rayquaza no matter what happened in my Emerald Version. Everyday when I had free time I would begin to soft reset my game (lets say about 500 times a day). After like 3 weeks a Shiny Rayquaza popped up. By now, I WAS SO USED TO SOFT RESETTING. Right when it appeared I pressed (start, select, A,B) and soft resetted without knowing what I just did. By NOW I WAS ABOUT TO THROW MY FREAKING D.S out the window...I couldn't stop staring at the D.S. Just out of my rage i restarted the game and I clicked on the Rayquaza again. AND WHAT YOU KNOW. Shiny Rayquaza AGAIN. O______O.

All Luck.....
