3rd Gen Shiny Pokemon Discussion

[~JapaneseWolf]

it is annoying when the shiny codes don't work, my shiny poochyena just evolved.

 

[LishaKara]

Meh. Shiny codes are cheap. I prefer my REAL shinies over everything. *pats shiny Brave Sharpedo and Careful Pelliper*

 

[Steven Hughes]

i have a shiny pokemon AR code for Emerald that works perfectly. (not for me, i did it for my friend. cause he dosn't have internet, so i looked it up and he used it and it worked. all three of my shinies are the real deal.)

 

[Kamahi]

what a cheater you guys... -.-'' I'd still prefer to hunt for shinies myself bleh... :P

 

[Steven Hughes]

that's what i'm saying. a real shiny is more special than a cheated one.

 

[Simon]

>_> You can discuss the morality of using codes to get certain things elsewhere.

 

[Shadox]

I think shinies are found by luck.I found a shinie once, but that was on silver.Good on any one who has 1.

 

[x-treme scripter]

Man, in all these years of searching I've only found 2 shinies. So what, does it really matter? But the fact remains: A true shiny is the most valuable thing in the game *Bursts out crying*.

You have to make one first. Go to the Community Questions & Feedback forum to ask how.

Wha?? Ok so lemme get this straight your brother has a shiny caterpie yet he didn't....ok even repeating it i can't make heads nor tails out of that.

Anyways, I found out that if you save before you fight a legendary bird on fire red every time you go to fight him there is a chance, very slim but a chance none the less, that he will be a shiny so trying for shiny articuno, zapdos and moltres lol

Only shiny i have is my Koffing and that was a one off lol :P

I think he meant his brother RAN INTO a shiny caterpie with no balls left.

anyway, i got 100 more EV points in speed left. (50 for me cause i'm using the macho brace, DUH XP) i used 10 carbos on slash (or whatever the speed vitamin is called.) and i trained it against 26 pokemon. (w/ macho brace=52)

Hey, has anyone out there got any tips for finding shinies that actually work on LG/FR

 

[Shiny Meganium]

The only shiny I've ever had is a gold Rattata which I found in the burned building in Cinnibar.
Of all the shinies I could have had, why did it have to be a weak Rattata!?!?

 

[Simon]

There are no tips. Everytime you run into a Pokemon there's a 1/8192 chance of it being shiny. Everything that everyone else says about pressing buttons or chucking your GBA at a tree is just psychological (or in the case of the tossing your GBA at a tree, extremely lucky).

The only surefire way to get a shiny everytime is to use codes with a cheating device.

 

[pokejungle]

I've now made it my goal to catch at least on shiny on the GBA games o____________o; I should run into at least ONE in my combined 200+ hours on my three games [Ruby, LeafGreen, and Emerald] x.x;

 

[kool dude]

igot a shiny crobat,moltres and machamp :rambo:

 

[~JapaneseWolf]

on my leafgreen i saw a shiny pikachui and rattata and i had no pokeballs all within the first 10 hours of the game . . .

 

[dragon_master C]

wow, that must suck @$$. i always have at least 20 u-balls with me just in case.
