The Official Shiny Thread

[Jordan...]

I was looking for a clefairy last night for some reason and i caught a shiny Bronzor then evolved it into a Bronzong.

I wasn't expecting to find it and its the first one i've ever seen :D

 

[Pingouin_7]

150 Max Repels + days and hours of my life + 50 ultra balls + 5 Repeat Balls + 6 Quick Balls = 19 normal Dittos and...
....
......
1 shiny Ditto.

...What did I do wrong? D:

(This was chaining, BTW. XB)

your chain was only at 19.


Not only Japanse Pokémon works... >_> You can use any Pokémon at the moment the two are not the same country.

 

[Inkfingers]

What shinies have you caught?

Well which ones have you caught? What game was it? what color was it?

 

[OniXCul]

lol. I only got a Pikachu in FireRed

 

[BHwolfgang]

Well, I have only caught a shiny Zubat, which would later evolved to become a shiny Crobat (win), but I also caught a shiny Scyther as well.

Both are in my Firered B-team. 8D

 

[altaria221]

my first shiny was a tangela on fire red, then a shiny electrike on my emerald and i bred a shiny eevee on emerald too, on diamond i have caught a shiny absol, phanpy, skorupi and magikarp

After only ten minutes of using this method and only beeing on my fourth Pokemon of my chain I have already run into a shiny Magnemite. I'm in battle with it now. Wish me luck!
:)

EDIT: Got my first non trade shiny!!! :D

[Deoxys55]

your chain was only at 19.

Oh no, my chain was at 41. I caught 19 Dittos while chaining to 40 because I needed some. I was stuck at 41 for a good two or three hours before finding my only shiny, and then I broke it after a couple of hours. XD It was just horrible luck, I've chained plenty of times with much better results.

Speaking of luck, I found a shiny Roselia in a normal-shaking patch of grass the other day while trying to start a chain. XB

On pokemon platinum I caught a shiny floatzel.. It was kind of yellow-ish white-ish.. The floaty thing around it's neck was white

Oh yeah.. I caught a shiny wurmple once but then I restarted the game. I was too young to notice what a shiny pokemon was anyway.

 

[alisaie]

Pokemon Silver
Donphan. 8D ... Lost the Silver version though. ;_;

Pokemon Gold
Weedle ... Restarted the game without transferring him, sadly.
Oddish ... Same as above.

Pokemon Crystal
Elekid~ ... I actually have this one still. Though I didn't know it was Shiny until I saw it on Pokemon Stadium 2. xD;

... Wow... I fail at keeping my Shiny Pokemon. ;_;

 

[thedestinedblade]

Never actually caught a shiny pokemon. I have hatched one, though. ;D

 

[RegiMasta]

Kinda sad:(

I used to have my very own shiny bidoof, But Then my diamond file got erased. It really sucks. Anyway, I play platinum now, so I'm always looking for a new one..

 

[Giraffes? Giraffes!]

Just chained a shiny docile larvitar... What a waste of time :(

 

[rishi 20]

Need Help on Chaining Pokemon!

Does anyone know the basis of it.

I got to 18 and then the chain randomly ended without me even running into a differ pokemon!

Suggestions please!

 

[~Magnus~]

I have no idea what your talking about maybe you should explain what your talking about xD

 

[a.new.bent]

I'm not sure that this is the right place for this.
Anyway chaining is a method of capturing pokemon (more specifically shiny pokemon) using the pokeradar in tall grass
refer to this page for a more in-depth guide.
