I actually understand IVs and EVs.
If you think that people who could care less about IVs and EVs think that way because they don't understand them, copy & paste this into your signature.

I usually get more than 99 Max Repels when I go shiny hunting, and a chain of 41 is still very low.

Shiny'ies are very valuable in online trading, well atleast for 80% of the people.

and I still don't get that either.. what's valuable about one? is it rare? yes! is it usefull? NO

oh wow a shiny rattata that's cool I'd give 100 palkias for that! XD

I'm just trying to be ironic but I seriously don't understand it..

some people r just shiny hunters they would trade anything to get shinys

but i say it wont be the same if someone get shinys from other people because it is not really yours, i have a shiny rayquaza but i got it from someone else and its not the same as owning your own

if i ever dicide to go search for shinys again i will not trade it

Feh, I don't bother with shinies usually, but a good way to identify hacked teams is if they're all shiny, they're probably hacked.

Although... I am looking for legit shiny versions of my battle team to train up...

Yeah, I was searching shinies on YouTube and there was this guy who's pokemon were all shiny. They were obviously hacked, as he had all 493 pokemon...ALL shiny... *shudders*

I'd only really want a shiny for show and bragging rights, anyway. Otherwise, to me, shinies are just re-colored, normal pokemon. I think it's the low chances of getting one, hence rarity, that fuels these so-called "Shiny Hunters".

The only shinies I'd want are Lumineon and Umbreon. (They're my favs.) Oh, and every other evolutionary form of Eevee. xD (loves Eevees)

its using the pokerader to see a pokemon, then if you catch or kill it the grass rumbles again, if you see the same pokemon its a chain of 2, kill or catch that and if you see another when the grass vibrates again, you'll have a chain of 3 and so on..

i havent really tried it yet

Yes. I dont want to get off topic, but if you dont own the game, you're supposed to delete it within 24 hours. (I do.. But i re-download it... but i keep the save file... so no harm done)
I have a Legit ruby anyway...


Dammit... I only got legit Ponyta as shiny... and thats gonna be gone once my wifi works..

yeh i normally keep mine..infact this is the first pokemon game i acually own on the handheld the others are through emulator since ruby saphire.

anyway is there a easier way to get shinys should i just stop the chain at 20-30 and buy heaps of max repels and just keep reseting it?

Meh, do what works for you. Most of mine are encountered when i EV train for my friends. (I get $35 per pokemon. Not much, but its a better income than most people as i can get it done with my Macho Brace + Pokerus Pokemon within an hour if i'm feeling happy =)
