    haha, i thought i was the only one who has ever tryed that....i wanted a shiny ampharos(i love ampharos;-)b...) and i filled my entire pc system with mareep eggs, but none of them hatched as a shiny... i think that if u really want that black charizard so hardly you should try it just a little more, maybe there is only one hatching to go and then you will get the shiny one, who knows...i only gave up because i dont know how a shiny ampharos looks like, so there was no reason for me to keep trying
    (by the way, i have already hatched a shiny magikarp once, and that only took me 15 minutes!and the same for a shiny shuckle...)

    You've only hatched two boxes and you're already complaining? Two boxes have room for 60 Pokémon in total, whereas the chances of getting a shiny are 1 in 8192. You could hatch 1000 boxes of Charmanders and still not get a shiny.

    I find that very hard to believe unless it was in G/S/C and one of the parents was shiny in which case this post doesn't belong here because this is a discussion about the GBA games.

    ok, its father was the shiny gyarados, but i found the shuckle in the grass(eventhough it was in GSC, it doesnt change the fact that a shiny may appear at any moment even considering the fact that it is very hard to find one.)

    I heard from my friend he got a Shiny early in crystal, so maybe crystal has a higher chance of seeing shinys
