I really hate that, when a Pokemon shiny form doesn't have a huge difference in color. I felt this way when I got a Reshiram off of Wifi today and when I looked in my PC, I didn't realize that it was shiny. i was so shocked when I found that out
If you got a shiny Reshiram off wifi, it's hacked. You can't get a shiny Reshiram or Zekrom. :( Though there's the full box when you go to the tower rumour about them being shiny, but I doubt that really being true.

Either way, if a shiny Reshiram is possible I'd want one...only issue is that I've never found a shiny yet, so. XD

I finally managed to breed a Shiny Heatmor using the Masuda Method! Yey! It was my third try at it and the black and orange Heatmor came on 166th egg.
It happened yesterday night when I was watching TV, I looked down at the hatched-egg screen to see the Heatmor. I was gobsmacked as I tried this twice before and gave up when I got past 200 eggs.
I'm so happy and now I have restored faith in the Masuda method; might even try to breed some other shinies... :)

I loathe anyone who finds a shiny on B/W

I really hope I find a shiny on B/W soon because I just want that achievement of finding a shiny, not just on B/W but on any other game, but I mainly play B/W soooo...

this generation, I've been really lucky with shinies. so far, during the game, I found a shiny darumaka in the game and caught it. after I completed the pokemon league, I also found a shiny staryu (now a starmie) whilst surfing and caught that. the other shiny I've accquired is a shiny growlithe (now an arcanine) after using the method of breeding with a japanese pokemon. it took a hell of a few days to do, but it was so worth it. it's sooo cute! <3

So last night a friend was trying to hunt down a shiny Litwick. I felt like trying to breed one so I turned on my japanese black and began breeding my level 100 japanese Chandelure with an english ditto I had transferred over. I didn't expect anything other than what happened in my other breeding attempts... I'd hatch a hundred or so eggs and give up because I was tired of it. That's what I expected...

25 eggs later (I hatch all 5 eggs without looking THEN look at them) the last egg in my batch hatched (26-30) And the first one in the batch was a shiny. She's Jolly|Good Perseverance. I'm honestly debating on evolving her.

I'm going to try the matsuda method and hope to get a shiny seed baby...
so far I've seen a shiny each gen so hopefully I'll find a wild shiny in BW too...
One of my favorite shines is Rashiram...too bad it's impossible to get one without hacking...
I'm currently working on some novels. If you're interested you can read them here:

I wouldnt know a shiny if it slapped me in the face >.< Is there a way to tell, other than the colours, if a pokemon is a shiny?
At the very start of the battle watch it closely and it will sparkle for a small bit of time Unlike those stupid Twilight vampires, thats how you tell. If your unsure look up on the internet Shiny * Insert Pokemon Here * and check the colours :D

Not really having the thought of finding a shiny anytime soon throughout the game, I was EV training my Larvesta with Litwick for Special Attack EVs, and I ended up running into this little guy.



Now I can finally raise a shiny Chandelure which I had been planning to for some time now. :D

I caught a Shiny Minccino in the grass east of Nimbasa City; I was looking for an Audino, accidently ran into some grass, and.... out jumped a Shiny Minccino. I've nicknamed her Narcissa.

I love the way they have a pink-ish tint & little green fluff inside their ears. x33

well some previous generation games had ways of finding shinies like chaining.
Is this game just pure chance finding one? ive not found one thus far.

is there a particular method for finding them besides running around the grass like a mad man ?

(sorry if theres a thread for shiny hunting) couldnt see one

I caught a Shiny Seviper today, with a Sassy Nature (+Sp.Def,-Speed) I think I might EV it into a wall/phazer. Can't let that beauty go to waste.
Obvious hacker is obvious. I thought you said Servine X_X

Right now I am playing through Black, hoping for a shiny. When I finish I will start dual SRing for Landorus. I already have 1000 down.
Keep being amazing.

Why would he be a hacker? If he is a hacker he would've gotten it a Modest nature or something.

The only shiny that I didn't transfer from gen IV was a shiny Aipom which I recieved in a trade when I used the GTS negotiations for the first time.

The other two (Budew and Pidgeot) were transferred from Diamond.
