3rd Gen Shiny Pokemon Discussion

Yea it shows as shiny lol, i was exaggerating, i didnt say w00t w00t! because it sounds stupid out loud. But yeah, shiny charmander FTW!

 

[DyN-Master]

Also saw a shiny Zigzagoon on my Sapphire, but it was before i could get pokeballs... damnit!

 

[DyN-Master]

I actually recall last time I started over in crystal I was walking through and... I ran into a shiny sentret as my first wild encounter...

But a question about shiny starter pokemon, when you click on the pokeball, does the preview pic come up shiny? I've never gotten a shiny starter so I've wondered.

No it doesnt, you have to find out in the batle or check in the pokemon status thing if it is or not. If you want one just save before u pick and keep trying till' u get a shiny

[Death Rogers]

Well, I caught a Golden Golbat. I didn't even know what shinies were back when I caught it. It appeared and I noticed that it sparkled. So I wanted it.

people hunt for shiny pokemon?? you'd have to spend days of non-stop searching! Is there some special way to do it, or do you just keep searching the area for the Pokemon until you find a shiny version? Anyway I've got a Shiny Electrode, found it randomly walking around New Mauville, dunno whether it's any better than a normal one, here it is anyway...

Electrode (Lv50)
Lax
ATK 69
DEF 106
Sp.ATK 108
Sp.DEF 91
SPD 170
Haven't bothered with its attacks. Something like Spark, Rollout, Selfdestruct, Light Screen

I'm now SRing on my LG for a Shiny Lax as I build up my in-game team for the E4...I like SRing for Lax b/c I can SR on and off w/o harming my chances of getting him shiny. I'm trying to do alot of SR's though because I'm in a race with my cousin to get the first shiny of the year and I want to get it, because he already has like 7 shinies--he could wait to find another 1(3) [he is triple SR on 3 different games for 3 different pokes...its something else...lol--well wish me luck for my first shiny in '07

The fact that it is shiny won't affect its stats or abilities. It is just really rare and it looks cool...lol--lack of anything better to say--still something to be proud of, but no, it isn't (ability-wise) better than any other wild electrode(technically). Oh, and a way to look for shiny pokemon is to save in front of like a person who gives you a pokemon, or a pokeball(like a starter) and keep Soft Resetting( A+B+Start+Select) until the pokemon you want is shiny. It is tedious but it is worth it

 

[Mr Black]

Ok thanks! Lol sounds fun... nah I'll try it sumtime! Thanks for the help!

I once found a shiny Zigzagoon right at the start of my game. Back then I didn't know what a shiny was and thought that this Zigzagoon was some kind of Missingo. Consquently I turned off my cart and started the game over...just to be on the safeside!

Metagross(Got from Stephens house in Mossdeep while it was a beldum)
Rayquaza(Sky Tower)
Salamence(Found as bagon in Meteor Falls)

Last night I caught my first shiny of the year. One I have been hunting for 2 months. Deoxys. w00t! (so...many...restarts)

I've encountered a shiney spearow and tangela in LG, I've only captured Spearow though, anyways, Yes, go to the SHINEY HUNTERS THREAD, we've answered a lot of questions, and are continuously growing. https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=19247&page=1&pp=25 is the page. Enjoy. (PM me if you need me)

That's funny, because the first Shiny I ever encountered in FR or LG was a Shiny Spearow.
