I feel for you lol :(Didn't you look at the 2nd post?
I've encountered 3 shinys.
All three of them ic ouldnt catch.
1st was Weezing who selfdestructed.
2nd was dratini in safari who fled.
3rd was geodude that i ran out of balls for :(
soft reseting isnt a glitch you silly. its just turning off the game and turning it on. no glitch. a glitch is caused by an error in the coding. soft resetting is simply pressing buttons to turn the game on and off. no glitch.Other than the shiny Sentret I ran into at the beginning of the game when I had no pokeballs...
I've run into 2 Shiny Pokemon OTHER than that one (Since I couldn't even catch it and almost cried.) and Gyrados
Lugia, which I still have.
No, I DIDN'T pull the "Save and restart if it isn't shiny glitch" but I used my Master Ball on it cause I didn't wanna wait for it, I just wanted it THERE AND NOW.
And then a Wobbuffet that was in Cerulean Cave, but I didn't catch it cause I killed it on accident.
WTF! My freind was at my house and found a wild chickorita SHINY and it was lvl 85 0.o he didn't hack it ....it was scary it was outside the daycare...Don't ask me what happen.
Any ideas?
