    What is a shiny?
    A shiny is a pokemon that is off-color. Shinnies are very rare, so if you come across one, make every attempt you can to catch it.

    Is there anything special about a shiny other than the color?
    No, shinnies are collector items. A shiny won't be extra powerfull or anything like that.

    Where can I find shinnies?
    Shinnies can be found any way you can obtain a pokemon, or in the Battle Tower. You can get shinnies by catching them, hatching them or obtaining them from people (i.e. prof. oak). Some people say you can even see a shiny Raltz when Wally finds one in Ru/Sa, and the poocheyna that chases Prof. Britch as well.

    How often do shinnies appear?
    1 out of every 8195 pokemon is shiny on average.

    Can I breed shininess over from a shiny parent?
    No, this only worked in GSC. You will still have the same chance as normal in Ru/Sa/Fr/Lg/Em.

    How do I know if a pokemon is shiny?
    If you run into a shiny in the wild, stars will fly around it as soon as the battle starts. Shinnies are also usually obviously discolored.

    Is there a place where I can see what shinnies look like?
    Go *link removed*.

    just a little apreciation so u can correct ur faq!!

    The fact that 1 out of each 8195 pokemon is shiny is totally INCORRECT
    following this, when u fight 8195 battles a shiny will appear, well this is not true!

    What i mean is that when u battle the prob will be 1/8195 and when u battle again the prob will be the same and not 1/8194.

    so that sall i wanted to say AND also that the poochyena that pursuits the professor at the beggining of Ruby/sapphire can also be shiny (i found i my 5th time i started, darn, no pokeballs lol)

    Yeah, I know. I said: "1 out of every 8195 pokemon is shiny on average", average meaning that usualy it is true, but of course since random is involved, it won't necessarily be 1/8195.

    Thanks for the tip, do you think I should re-word it or something?

    yeah because it is still incorrect. It is ALWAYS hte same prob and never changes, no average or that stuff.!
