  • Soft resetting is the easiest. Breeding takes more effort but if you want to pass down a good nature/move/IVs, then you better take up your time hatching eggs. Soft reseted shinies are usually horrible. :O

    ^__^ Be really super lucky, and keep restarting the game just before you pick your starter...

    OR... I'm sure there's another way, I just don't know it D;

    Technically the easiest way is to use an Action Replay...

    I want it in legit form and who many soft reseting I need to have the shiny starter?

    sorry I posted WHO in the last post but I wanted to say HOW

  • but I don't see the point if wasting time when you can be playing the game just for a shiny. It doesn't have any added effects like it did in G/S/C. Just run into one or use a cheating device

    I don't understand what you mean by that... I mean shinies in Gold Silver and Crystal were determined by their IVs being the same in 3 stats, doesn't mean they are better or strong, they're just usually decent.

    I happen to like the effect shinies in this generation make when you encounter/send one out. By the way all the shiny starters for this generation look ugly...
