    • Instead of having two stickies dealing with shiny Pokemon, it will be best to consolidate them both into one thread. Here you can discuss chaining to get a Shiny Pokemon, what Shiny Pokemon you've obtained, and how many. If there's a question you need to ask pertaining to how Shiny Pokemon work, you can look at these threads first before posting here:


    Have fun hunting for shinies.

    • Well, up until Thursday the only shinies I've ever had where either from trades or on ROMS...

    I got bored on the bus and decided to chain whatever random thing it was that was swarming......

    the 6th thing in my chain was one I'd always remember........ I went into a patch (couldn't really tell that it was Shiny 'till the battle... stupid bus >.>) and I ran into...



    *DRUMROOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLL*



    A SHINY JOLLY Natured.... CUBONE!? o_O

    Okay, so it's not the Shiny I've always dreamed of, but... OMG, it's STILL cute! (and I usually LOATHE that shade of green! o_O)


    ~~~~~

    And that's how I got my very first legitimate Shiny.

    • I've caught by myself:

    Two machops from different chains
    two bidoofs; one random, one was when i was trying to start a teddiursa chain.
    starly
    buizel
    weepinbell x4
    pichu x2 (modest :) )
    eevee
    krabby x3
    shinx
    geodude x2

    I think that's it.

    and i saw a shiny patch for a staravia, on a chain of 9, but missed it. T_T
    just like how i killed the 5th weepinbell. =P

    p.s. i felt too lazy to type properly so that explains why i didn't use caps etc.

    I chained something else today, for the first time in about two weeks :O

    A Shiny ????? appears!

    I caught two of these, one with a Lax nature, and the other with a Lonely nature. Darn Adamant Syncher didn't work again >_<
    Oh well, more Shinies =)

    • I hatched a shiny lonely Absol two days ago with decent IVs and Super Luck, so I was ecstatic about that (note sig). Today I was EV training that same Absol by chaining the pokemon I needed to beat and I stumbled across a shiny Gastrodon. So I have two shinys now from the fourth gen.

    Overall, I think I've caught four shinys: one Kakuna in Crystal, one Zubat in Leafgreen, and the Absol and Gastrodon.
