I think the picture of the Pokemon it shows while you're slecting from the three PokeBalls only shows the normal colored ones.hikkichan said:Aww well I just restarted my Emerald and I'm trying to get a shiny Torchic for my starter. I know the chances are 1/8,192 but I'm gonna try. ^_^ (I have no other shinys anymore.. :( ) I have a question about shinys--when I want to get a shiny starter, what do I do? I saved just before the battle. And I pick the pokemon... I just watch for the shiny pokemon when it comes out of the pokeball right? ^^; Or do I do something else? I'm not so sure how to go about this...

Pick the Torchic and get in the battle. If it's shiny, the main part of it's body should be a light yellow. If not, reload and try again.
