    I was walking around in Wayward Cave yesterday and ran into a random shiny Bronzor. Its nature stunk, though, so I ended up not using it.

    When did you get your first shiny? I've never even seen a shiny (unless the gyrados counts), and I've spent a lot of hours playing my sapphire and pearl... So, when did you get your first shiny? What game was it, and where were you in the game (how many gyms had you taken, had you gotten national dex...)

    I got like 80 Shinies through chaining. A few days ago when I started my German Platinum I encountered a Shiny Starly before I had any Pokeballs. -.-

    I meet first shiny pokemon is poochyena in ruby
    And I no pokeball to catch it....
    Click to expand...

    So it is true the very first Poochyena you battle can be a shiny!?

    Anyway, I've seen a few:

    A blue Psyduck in Crystal (caught him with only Pokéball I had on me at the time!) in Ilex Forest

    A green Oddish on Ruby (now a pink Bellossom! Good thing it was a girl!) in the route east of Fortree.

    A green Doduo in the Safari Zone (GRAGGH! It ran away from me. And I thought I was so smart throwing Pokéblocks at him!)

    A shiny Snorunt in the Emerald Battle Pike (GRAAAGH. --;)

    ShinyDratini How do u identify a hacked shiny? If its related to IVs hw do i work it out and wat wud the average b?
    Click to expand...

    It's only related to IV's in Gen II, so a Pokémon keeps it's shininess when traded back and forth between Gen I and II (though WHY you would want to trade a wonderful shiny and make it normal is beyond me!)
    I don't remember the spread, it's on Bulbapedia somewhere (as far as I can remember)
    Other than that, the tell-tale signs would be it being from an area it's uncatchable, caught in a Master Ball (though that wouldn't apply to legendaries) or Cherish ball, or has illegal moves/stats, y'know tell-tale hacking signs.
    So, not really, afterall, wasn't there a legit breeding shinies (trading eggs over to other games because shininess links into Secret/Trainer Ids or something...?!) program?

    I was quite pissed.^^ Maybe it was my fault cuz I thought that Dawn would give me some Pokeballs before I need them so I didn´t go to the market to check if I´m already able to buy some Pokeballs. That was my 2nd. random Shiny and the 2nd. random Shiny I couldn´t catch.-.- The 1st. one was a Lairon in Sapphire´s Victory Road. I accidently used Earthquake instead of Take Down to weaken it. x.x

    Does saving work in PokeRadar-ing? o.o;

    Because I have a chain of 6 Mareeps right now... and I was wondering if I could save and come back to it in case I mess up later?

    Nope, you can't save. If you need to rest, put your DS in sleep mode and charge it. ^^

    Umm, I'm not sure about using Cut.. Don't use your bike or Rare Candy, or else your chain will mess up. Just try not to do anything risky. XD
    Click to expand...

    I'm pretty sure that sums up everything. Just make sure that when you can't chain no more but you still need to, to get that shiny, do not save or anything but instead just close your DS down and put it to charge. Then when you're ready to chain again open it back up and you're ready to go. Also make sure not to use cut on the grass because it could break the chain quickly since it is cutting off the grass and it could possibly cut the chain grasses.

    You can´t even cut grass in the newer games. It would be cool to get rid of "invisible" patches.^^

    If you put 2 Pkmn from 2 different countries into the day-care the chance that one of their eggs contains a shiny increases to like 1:2000. Sry for my bad English.^^

    Are you sure about that? Last I heard having two Pokémon from the same country results in a better chance of the baby having the mother's nature when you do the Everstone trick...do you have a source?
