3rd Gen Shiny Hour

[Gold Tom]

Ok, I play for about 3-4 hours each day. While I'm playing between about 5-6 pm I always get at least one shiny, coincidence?

 

[absol_master]

wow cool i wish i was that lucky
i dont know if it is or not
[i still havent found one on any of my games]

 

[Loud and Annoying Pidgey]

can you get a shiny gyrados???

 

[jack1993jack]

It's probably a timed thing that determines when you get a shiney

It's probably a timed thing that determines when you get a shiney

Actually, it depends on a set of numbers you can't actually see in your game (unless you mess around with a GameShark/AR). In other words, this guy is just really, really lucky, and I envy him.

 

[zacharias]

hard to say, maybe just lucky, but might be there something to do with the time as well^^" i am not much help^^"

 

[Gold Tom]

Yeah, well. It's really turned quite good. I sell them at my school for $5 each!

 

[Ársa]

XD.....no, there is a 1 in 8*** something chance of finding a shiny, and many trainers go there whole pokemon days without ever getting a Shiny pokemon. I am lucky, and have found (not including Pokeradar or Soft-Reseting) around 25 Shiny pokemon. The greatest coincidence I have had is when I found 2 shinies IN A ROW!

Well my friend got her first shiny while at my house and i got both mine while talking to her


coincidence?

 

[ultranerd57]

its a 1 in 8192 chance and gets tougher if you want shiny starters or legendaries. i've been trying to get a shiny charmander all weekend and its starting to piss me off

 

[ball2000]

i,ve only found 1 shiny [it was on my friends game >:[ ]its super hard insane hard >:[ to find a shiny

 

[Agu Fungus]

I only have a shiny Slugma (now evolved into shiny Magcargo).

Actually, since the probability doesn't change, it'd probably be easier because all you have to do is soft-reset over and over again instead of wander around patches of grass that may contain Pokemon other than the one you want as a shiny anyway.

Between the hours of 5PM and 6PM you say? Whilst there may be this 1 in 8192 chance of finding a shiny Pokémon, I wouldn't count out the possibility of there being a variable which determines an encounter within a certain time frame/window. It sounds plausible given that you seem to encounter a shiny within the window of 5PM and 6PM. How many Shinnies is it exactly that you've procured, and have you been able to pull this off on a day-to-day basis?

[shevchenko997]

I think it was just your luck....I met Shinies at a variety of time,so I can say it was just your luck.

 

[Razer302]

That is just luck. I haven't had a shiny in such a long time. It is starting to bug me.

In real time or in Game Time? Because if this is a glitch or something on the version you're playing(please specify), then I'd like to have a go at it too, since the only shiny I've found so far are a Primeape on Victory Road on my old LeafGreen file before I transferred everything and restarted for Nuggets, and a shiny Pikachu in the Safari zone.

 

[Gold Tom]

In real time on Ruby and Sapphire.

 

[Gachaking]

What's your time zone? I live far, far away from the States at the moment(assuming that's where you live) for an incredibly prolonged vacation and would like some shinies. Bad.

 

[Gold Tom]

I'm in Australia. Nowhere near the US
