The Official Shiny Thread

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 :(

 

[pokedict]

I RNG'd my first (RNG'd) shiny the other day, it was a shiny cyndaquil called blubba :)

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:

Once on Emerald I luckily found a shiny Green Latios, my a*shole of a friend started new game when I left it in her house :/

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.

The 2 shinies I caught myself were a Golbat and a Wingull (both flying types...interesting)

 

[Charizard★]

Found a shiny Zubat yesterday :D

 

[Gulpin]

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

 

[tpmrpg]

i have all the pokemon shiny (R4 and trades)

 

[Gulpin]

Yay! Just hatched my RNG abused Shiny Slugma!

 

[Charizard★]

Just got a shiny magikarp :D
My shiny luck is increasing xD

 

[Gulpin]

This morning I hatched a shiny Porygon, Taillow, Weedle, and I think that's all. I forget haha.

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!

 

[Gulpin]

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

 

[Bedazzled]

I don't have any shinies. v.v I accidently killed a shiny female hippopotas a little while ago, but imma go shiny magikarp/goldeen/rare anything searching. while leveling up my snover and dragonair. 8D
