4th Gen How do people get illegit pokemon?

[blazedsoldier]

I am curious how everybody gets all of their shiny pokemon of legendaries etc. Do they use action replay codes or something? Because everybody has all of these amazing pokemon to trade and I always wondered how people obtained them. A few answers would be nice.

Save game editors and Action Replay codes. Avoid them if you wish to retain your morals and respectability.

Well if you see a Shiny Legendary, there is a good chance that the Pokemon is hacked, meaning a cheating device as you stated above.

But sometimes they just trade via WiFi from other people that have spare legendaries(usually from a cheating device).

Alright, thanks. I don't want to do that, but I was curious as to how so many rare shiny pokemon were all over. :)

AND there are those people that reset their game over and over again to get a legitimate Shiny Legendary. Not all of them are hacked.

Yep! However, you gotta REALLY want a shiny to do that, since mathematically (and actually theoretically) you would have to reset the game close to 8,000 times before even having a chance of seeing a shiny.

I have a shiny Kyogre, which I traded for a few Pokes infected with my Pokerus. Not the best nature (which is why I always say to focus on nature, NOT color), but shinies are still cool to show off.

And besides, aren't people who discriminate Pokemon on their color considered... racist? haha, I kid!

Well technically you could encounter a shiny legendary the very first time you battle it, since it is 1/8192 chance. But I'd bet that it almost never happens like that..

Shiney Legendaries are a no.

 

[blazedsoldier]

I can't imagine many people wanting to wait for a legit shiny legendary haha

 

[Hinamori_Momo]

Escpecially since the chance for a shiny Legendary is 75% lower then other pokemon. that would be around a 1/32,758 chance. Hehe.

No, who told you that, they are the exact same odds, 1/8192

guess i've learned my lesson

I cheated on emerald to get shiny legendaries, it took all the fun out of catching 'em, i've learned my lesson: cheating for shiny legendaries is plain wrong, take it from a cheat, give them a miss, it'll take all the fun away...

& something about restarting your game to get them, that is a stupid thing to do as you can simply save before a legendary & keep on turning off & back on again 'till it's shiny, so restarters aren't that great at thinking.
