4th Gen Shiny Pokemon

Well, try this one.

It's on another forum (gasp!), but I found it quite helpful, and seems clear to me. 4 guides on it in fact - the last two I think are the better ones for beginners.

I don't even freaking know what a shiny Pokemon is, so I wouldn't feel bad if I were you about just not seeing one lol.

Theres like a 1 in 3749343 chance of getting one. Your best bet would be to do lots of creative breeding and just randomly check the wild.

Can you please check up on your facts next time you post. It's more like 1 in 8912. Don't post if you're not sure. Your best bet would be to get a PokeRadar and start chaining with it.Shinies appear after the first 30-50 Pokemon but you may be lucky to get it on the first. Also, don't believe people when they say the tile in the 4th area is gonna have a shiny. This isn't true so look at all the tiles of grass that shine.

would it be 1/200 if u get a chain of 40? rember its a question so if im wrong dont get mad

This is the formula for calculating the probabilty of a shiny while chaining! NOTE: Increase the chances for an Electric and Steel shiny with a pokemon in the first slot with the abilities Static and Magnet Pull (Respectively)

Probability of a shiny! N=chain number
1474-40
