  • Merging with the HG/SS Shiny Thread to continue this discussion on the "mysterious wild shiny Chikorita." Just please keep this on topic to the thread to list and comment on shinies that people have encountered/caught.

    As for what has happened, seems a little fishy to me...most likely seems a bit of AR Code use however. :\

  • 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.

    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.

    i am getting a japanese ditto to start breeding for my dream shiny. what is it? you will never know unless i get it =D

    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?

    ar code. with the new ars, you can take it out and put the game in and have the codes still work so the ar doesnt have to be in.

  • Woot!
    Earlier today I got my first shiny on Soul silver. I've beaten the story and I was just fishing in random areas looking for a Feebas when a shiny Quilfish came along. I didn't realise it was shiny at first and just kept tapping A then I noticed it was just as it got in the Red zone (I didn't have my strongest pokes I was just killing time really with Woodo first so two hits and it was still standing) I switched to my Gengar that I had (for easier catches with hypnosis) and +Hypnosis + Confuse ray + Lure ball x4=Caught shiny Quilfish. I named him Feebas cause it's thanks to Feebas that I have him =D (Even though it can be confusing).

  • I'm so happy, I caught my first shiny a day or two ago. :D

    I was looking for a Pikachu in Viridian Forest to show to Surge, and I happened to come across a pidgey. You see, this is why everyone should have an Amphoras on their team. I paralyzed it, and caught with a great ball.

    It's female, so I named her Paige. She's also Adamant natured, and has good enough IVs, so I EV trained her. She'll be on my team against Blue, and the Elite Four rematches. And, of course, Red.

  • Obviously Gyarados. But nope. In ALL the games I've had, I've never encountered a shiny Pokemon... guess they just don't like me very much...

  • The only legit shinies were the obvious Shiny Gyarados and a shiny swinub in Ice Path on the original pokemon Gold game for the GBC. From then on, I was hooked on catching shiny pokemon. But in diamond it took so long..

    Yay! I ran into a shiny Psyduck this morning. I couldn't even believe my eyes when I saw it. I mean, I saw a lake and decided to surf around a bit and what do ya know? I caught the red Gyarados the other day and recognized how when a shiny first appears there are stars that come out from it and also a sound will be played, but I still couldn't believe it. When it comes to shiny's I can see how if you're not paying attention and if you don't know what the pokemon looks like normally that you could end up missing it. For me, the Psyduck was blue instead of yellow so it was more obvious. :) (And oh yeah this was in Soul Silver.)

    Legit, I have never seen a shiny. ( Except Red Gyrados, or course)

    By cheating, I've seen a shiny: Sentret, Hoothoot, and Pidgey

    And by Pokesav, I made a shiny Pichu.
