3rd Gen Shiny Pokemon Discussion

[Live in Color]

Well... everyone seems to have shiny Pokémon that are legendarys... how do you get them? Do you save before Rayquaza, and if it's not shiny, just restart, and keep doing so? I'm gonna go shiny hunting soon for my dearly beloved Swellow, and I know that it's rare and there's no way of helping it, but do people use GameSharks for legendarys?

I don't have a shiny, but you know the battle hill in fire red.( Or whatever it is called.) A trainer there has a shiny Espeon! And it is always shiny, yet I can't catch it because it is a trainers...

Still unanswered, anyone know how?

Some people cheat but there is a way to get it without cheating. I haven't found out how yet but i am trying.

I think if you walk in front of Rayquaza and save before him, they just keep restarting the game until he appears shiny. :S

i was hunting for some shiny reggis but i just got tired and decided to go look for a shiny wrumple or silcoon i love shiny beautifly

So when you say that you were hunting for shiny regis does that mean that you saved in front of the regis and then just kept restarting if they weren't shiny?

Yes you could SR for any legendary

Yes you can get shinies without cheating. You just have to be extremely lucky. You have a 1 in 8192 chance for a pokemon being shiny.

They are. 1/8192 chance.
Anyway, I have a lot of shinies. My most recent one is Mudkip in Emerald. It took me a long time to finally see one after SRing like 200 times. =P

in muh emerald, there is a cheat 2 get shinies on AR, but u must get it online. so in my emerald (which i begun over because it got all screwed up) i had a LOT of shinies.

 

[♥~*Abby*~♥]

i have been hunting 4ever but i still havent found a shiny in muh firered. the only games i found any shinies is muh gold version, i own 2.

 

[XxTsukasa]

I got a few shinies by pure luck in my Emerald version on my comp. I can only remember the shiny Ralts and Marill, but I'm sure I had like 5 of them.

=P

I really wanted a shiny absol though >.<

Never found one. D=

 

[Krobelus]

I have almost all the pokemon gba games, (besides red rescue and emerald) and my main one is Fire Red. No shinies in there, but while starting over my LG over and over, (was bored), I found a shiny gastly, now its a lv.87 haunter.

Later that month, my best friends younger brother found a shiny hitmonlee, and I traded my pokemon gold/gameshark/mewtwo @Master Ball for it, was a good trade, because my Hitmonlee is now lv.92, with an adamant nature, xD

 

[Ninja Monkey]

I just now caught a shiny Sandshrew, which is good because I actually was planning on catching a Sandshrew! I'm trying to recreate the team as well as I can remember it from back in the days of Pokemon Blue.

On Gold my friend found a Shiny Purple Growlithe (But he let it go because none of us knew about Shinys.) I caught a Shiny Raticate on Silver and A Shiny Gyrados (Obviously :D ). And I met another Shiny Pokemon (can't remember which Pokemon) but I ran out of Pokeballs.

 

[davidm]

[Ash&pikachuarethebest]

Good luck, it's gonna be tough. I hope you catch one.

So far I've played about 49 hours and I haven't seen a shiny, but on another file I have, and the other file had only like 20 hours... little messed up.
