    • was talking to my friend today. we were talking about pokemon crystal. he says you can get shiny versions of the legendaries. i told him you can because there is only one of them. so now im asking is it possible to get shiny legendaries or not?

    • It's entirely possible. Most people just reset over and over until it appears shiny. Waste of time if you ask me, it's not like it makes them stronger.

    Ah, no, they weren't. It was just a common misconception amongst players and was as true as saying that mashing A and B would turn your Pokeball into a Masterball.

    Quoted for truth. It was a common misconception -- shinies weren't stronger in GSC.

    (Amongst my friends, the rumor was that holding down B when using a Pokeball made it work better)

    Even I thought that way but it totally depends on luck. About shiny legends too its pure luck that plays its part.

    • It has a -little- more truth to it than the A / B thing.

    If a Pokémon's Speed, Defense, and Special IVs are 10, and its Attack IV is 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14 or 15, it will be shiny.

    Which means they will have slightly higher speed/defense/special attack/defense than average and it's possible they have a 15 Attack IV, which is maximum.

    Didn't the Daycare Egg also always have all 10 or 15 IVs? I think something like that contributed to the rumors.

    Anyway, people misunderstood the link between IVs and Shininess, and that rumor was started.

    ^ But that was only applicable for G/S/C.
    Anyways, it is true that you can get Shiny Legendaries in G/S/C too, by resetting the game again and again.
    But they are nothing special. Just different coloured... I like most Pokemon when they are NOT shiny, actually...

    Just like everyone has said before me yes you can get legendaries shiny don't mean to brag but I have a shiny Latias and Latios both non-hacked the Latias took me about 16 hours to find my Latios I don't really remember but if you plan on trying to look for shiny pokemon I watched a video on Youtube and the person said that when you're looking for shiny pokemon you should listen to music to pass the time. The soundtrack I listened to when looking for my Latias and Latios was: Star Wars the Clone Wars Original Motion Picture Soundtrack that's one I would recommend you listen to while you go shiny hunting but only if you want to.

    You were very lucky to find a shiny roaming pokemon. Listening to music does help a few but it just bothers others. And the guy who started the thread was talking about crystal and not R/S/E :P.

    • I have actually had the privilege of seeing a shiny legendary in Pokemon Crystal. My friend was roaming around for Raikou, and the little "Legadary Music" started, and the next thing we know: Shiny Raikou. It was pretty intense.

    No offense but that's utter crap. I don't know who told you that but you should smack them for being so stupid.

    • A friend of mine had a Shiny Entei.....That was his pride and joy, and he got offers from EVERYBODY.....but he never traded it. It probably died alongside the battery in the cartridge by now. XD

    So yes, its possible but you have to be VERY FREAKING LUCKY.

    wait, i thought pokeballs became better the more turns there where in battle.

    i was fighting Heatran and i put it to 1 hp (false swipe) and put it to sleep. Started chuckin ultra balls. none worked to say the least.

    then i switch to hm slave, and started FLASHING over and over again to waste turns. ultra ball? caught.

    Yes you can get shinies in Crystal, hence the Egg from the Daycare which has a 50% chance of being shiny and the Lake of Rage which is always shiny. So yeah but it just takes forever.
