    First shiny was in Emerald, which was a Shiny Elektrike under Cycling Road.

    In D/P I found a Shiny Buizel and Shiny Magnemite :D

    in Soul Silver I haven't found a Shiny yet :(

    Well two days ago I bred a shiny timid Abra by abusing the PRNG, and earlier this morning I bred a shiny timid Togepi :D I love abusing the game's PRNG.

    In the first file I had in HeartGold I found a Shiny Rattata... Didn't really like it so traded it.
    Oh, and I did find a Shiny Zigzagoon before on Saphire. Again, I didn't really like it...

    I'm still on the hunt for a good shiny (preferably Stunky) so I'm learning how to chain.

    An easier way to get shinies is to abuse the PRNG

    i only got 4 shinies,
    Voltorb, 2 magnemites and a machop.
    the first 3 were chaining.
    the machap was a random encounter which wouldve broken my chain of 3.

    What is PRNG, never heard of it.



    And i never seem to get past 10 by chaining... It's so HARD!!!!!:cer_cry:

    It stands for pseudo random number generator and people have figured out how the game generates "random" numbers that decide many factors of the game - everything from how npcs move to weather or not your pokemon is shiny. So you can basically choose every detail of a pokemon then follow a series of steps to get that pokemon.

    Recently I've abused the PRNG to get a Timid Shiny Abra, Timid Shiny Togepi, and a Modest Shiny Oddish. My text target is a Modest Shiny Slugma :D

    I've been chaining all week long and have caught some good shinies. I evolved most of them already so now my three favorites are Gallade, Aggron, and Dusknoir. Three of the few shinies I caught. Btw my highest chain is 61. :) This just happened I was starting a chain in the Trophy garden and the first patch I went into was a shiny roselia! Which is freakin awesome!

    Just hatched me a Shiny Sandshrew using RNG. And as I started typing this I ran into a Shiny Fearow! Too bad this is my second one and I don't like evolved shinnies... D: Still pretty excited! I didn't even abuse RNG for this one!! Next RNG target- Shiny Koffing
