Luck. That's it basically. It's all down to chance and stuff. Like Aaryn said above, save before you select the PokeBall, open it, and if it's not shiny, reset and try again. It will take ages though... if you're not lucky that is. Many people want a shiny female Pokemon too, since they'll be able to breed it... but that would take double the odds, which are about 1/8000 (or 1/16000 if you want a specific gender).

Actually, if you want Gender Specific pokemon, then you have to actually have to buy a different game. FireRed=Female, LeafGreen=Male (I shoulda gotten FireRed) It doesn't matter how many times you reset, it will always turn up male / female according to the cartrige. Shinies are rare, and they're just to gloat, nothing special about them, I suggest you don't waste your time and / or just mass breed them when you get the chance. It took me three hours to try and get a Shiney Mewtwo and I still didn't get one, whereas my friend got his RIGHT when he approched the critter. [Mewtwo hates me anyways] So, don't really hold your breathe for a shiney, because the unpredictable will happen [Raichu 29 gets a critical hit on a Tengala 39 with 3/4 life and kills it instantaneously] Or, you trade them to a friend for a pokemon you don't have. The important thing is, if you're going to try is to NOT GET BORED OF THE GAME BECAUSE OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okies? Good luck on your shiney hunting. Btw, should this just go in "SIMPLE QUESTIONS"? Seems like one...

What would happen if you traded a shiny from LeafGreen to FireRed?

No it doesn't... it's nothing like that. I got male starters first time around on both... The cartridge has nothing... and will have nothing to do with the gender of Pokemon... Where did you get this information from??? o_O

Besides, the odds of a female starter is 1 in 8, so if you want a female shiny starter, the odds are 1 in 64,000 (probably higher).

Okay, so my now EX-Friend gave me some bad info. >_o; Well, I never got a Female starter so I dealt with it, proceeded, and breeded and yet...i never got a female. ^_^;;;; Darn my luck. And, the only difference if you trade is the fact it will have "OT" different, and will gain more EXP, "boosted". They should have kept the different sprites for the different game, ads a little "NO FAIR! YOURS LOOKS SO MUCH COOLER I WANTY!" And yeah.... anyways, this friend who gave me false information is no longer my friend (literally). Sorry for the misinfo guys.
none of your business

I got a female starter. It is possible to get both genders for all the starters, and for those starters to be shiny. The odds for Male/Female are 87.5%/12.5% and the odds for a shiny are very low indeed.... It's posted above somewhere. But it is possible. with patience. Good luck trying for it!

Yeah, don't wear out your power button either, if your going to reset until you get a shiney, do a soft reset, (all buttons but the shoulders) and it's easier for the hardware, and the soft ware. ^_^
ive never known anyone to get one by chance, ever.

have fun - dont wear out your power button :>

You have my support all the way! Good luck on your shiney gastly hunting. P.M. -- If you get SWEET SCENT it will increase your encounter rate, thus throwing your shiney possibility higher. Hope you get one! (Wishes she could get a cute pokemon, but that's probably imposs.-

DarkCharizard, that's not true. The gender is determined randomly each time you pick up the Pokeball. You can get females on either version, but the males are more common.
