    Ok, so, despite all my infinite wisdom and knowledge :P I have no idea where to post this.

    Basically, I've read the RNG guides about 14 times figuring out where I went wrong. I've now realised I need my SID. Can anybody help me?
     
    Before I actually type out the lengthy details of how to do it, I will ask you. Do you have a random encounter Shiny Pokemon that you caught yourself in the game you need to RNG in? Or, do you have at least 5 PokeRadar shinies that again were caught yourself in the game you need to RNG in?

    If not, you cannot find your SID without the use of an Action Replay.
     
    No, I have no shinies.

    So, basically I need the help of somebody with an AR?

    I don't think someone else can find it for you. I think if you have no shinies you're basically screwed unless you get an AR.

    You could learn how to chain. It's really not that hard, you just have to remember rules.
     
    Oh. I thought I read somewhere that you just need to take one of your caught pokemon on wi-fi...guess it means a shiny one?

    Oh, well, I guess that could work, but it would need to be a shiny one, and if you had a shiny one you wouldn't need to trade it to find it you could do it yourself. @_@
     
    Oh...right. Well, I'll try to remember to vm you for an explanation if I catch one....knowing my luck it'll be on HeartGold, with no Poketch...

    Learn chaining. It will be a lot quicker. If you decide to, VM me and I will give you a bunch of tutorials (video ones are included, those are the ones that helped me most). I have gotten over 200 shinies from chaining, now I only have 30 because my Diamond crashed though. :|
     
    Uhh..I seriously hate poke radar..I might hit you up if I've completed HeartGold, Platinum, and still can't find a damn shiny (normally I find one in my first two routes....Poochyena, Kricketot....sadly Johto is allergic to my luck)
     
    In the future, use the Quick Question and Answer Thread.

    However, assuming you have WiFi, I can help you find your SID, in an AR-free way. -.-

    P.S. HGSS Red Gyarados works as a chained shiny..
