    I was playing Pokemon Silver a few days ago, and I was only the beginning, when I found a silver rattata. It was my thrid shiny pokemon I'd ever caught!
    It was amazing...
     
    Well My I was playing my original gameboy, and the screen was broken. So the color's were outta whack.
     
    I've been working with shiny pokemon for a long time now. I have many shinies on crystal version including Shiny Charizard, Shiny Blastoise, and many more. I got all these by breeding certain Pokemon together to pass down certain genes that are unique to shiny Pokemon and shiny gene carriers. I'd be willing to make a Shiny FAQ for this site if anyone would like.
     
    yes there are. in the breeding process, genes are passed down from the mother to son, and father to daughter. every pokemon has genes. the pokemon has to have a specific set of genes to be a shiny.
     
    Well, this is also a game, so biology doesn't actually apply. It really is all based on number variables, which means that just because you have two shinies and breed them doesn't necessarily mean that you'll end up with a shiny Pokemon. Likewise, breeding two normal Pokemon might actually produce a shiny. Y'see, every wild Pokemon encounter comes with a certain set of odds that determines whether or not it's a shiny. (The specific odds are about 1 in 8192, although I can't remember if it's less than that for breeding in GSC.) That means you've got a 1 in 8192 chance of having any Pokemon you encounter (including possibly hatchlings, although again, I'll need to verify whether or not the odds are less for breeding) being shiny.

    Now, if you want to consider IVs (the actual determinants of shininess in GSC) to be genes, then okay, I get where you're coming from. If not, then yes, it's IVs that determine shininess. A shiny Pokemon needs to have all of its stats except Attack have IVs of 10 and an Attack IV of 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14, or 15. Since IVs are completely random for every Pokemon in the GSC generation of games, luck ends up being a pretty big part of it.

    Edit: So, yeah, verifying Loquacity here. XD
     
    In pokémon G/S/C you can breed shinies, with a 1 : 64 chance. When you have a shiny ditto, you can breed some shinies. This works only with one shiny. But when you meet a shiny in the grass, in a cave or in a water, there's a 1 : 8192 chance, yes.
     
    IV's can be called DV's or genes. Genes(IV's) are passed down from father to daughter and mother to son unless a Ditto is involved, then they come from it. The special and defense gene are the only genes that are passed down, though, so the attack and speed are random. This provides a good 1:64 chance for a shiny, but then you have to add in the gender ratios to the equation. If you don't believe me, just look this up on google (it is my Beta Version of my future Breeding Guide) - beta version breeding guide. it should be the first thing. if not, it is on ghpf.pokemondungeon.com. If you need more proof, I can give you steps to get any shiny pokemon you want. However, there are 2 requirements:
    1) The Pokemon you want a shiny of has to be breedable and cannot be in the human shape, indeterminate, or mineral groups (unless you have a shiny ditto or a shiny from one of those groups, because these groups are connected to no others)

    2) You must already have a Shiny Gyarados or another Shiny Pokemon.

    If you don't believe me, I will give you the steps for any Pokemon that meets the above conditions. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about.

    Click to expand...

    um the only things that get passed down from parent to offspring are IV's (DV's in 1st/2nd gen.) and egg moves... and IV's/DV's up stats not chances of being shiny
     
    IV's and DV's are the same thing as genes. to be a shiny, the pokemon has to have a certain geneset. or IV/DV set, whichever one you want to say.
     
    That's nice and all, but it isn't something that needs its own topic. Use this thread for things like this.
