Quick question about shiny charmander

im looking for the best way to get a shiny charmander. so far im trying to just save right before i pick my starting pokemon in leaf green and resetting it if i do not get him. if anyone has any other suggestions i would greatly apprecaite them. thanks

Edit: i was also wondering if the picture of the starting pokemon will be shiny too since they show up before you actually pick it cause ill try all three if thats the case.

I just chained 47 Cubone... And then it broke, for no reason.

I've never seen anyone say "I chained (insert number over 40) and it broke" before.

Am I just REALLY unlucky to not encounter a shiny in the last 7? Or was I somehow missing the shiny grass patches? People say they are distinctive from the normal flashing grass, but are they really THAT distinctive?

They are obvious, and just because you reach over 40 does not mean ur gonna find one then. The longest it has taken me is like above 80.

1. That's because everyone else stops building their chains once they've hit 40 and start resetting the radar until they see a shiny patch. The odds max out once you've hit a chain of 40, so there's no reason to keep building your chain. Stop it! :)
2. Unless you're in something like a blizzard or a sandstorm, then yes, the shiny patch is plain as day. This is mostly because it flashes much more slowly than the regular flashing grass, and stays longer. Timing is the first thing you'll notice when something is in your field of vision, and it's the most tolerant of things in the way.

It's been awhile..

Where to start.. Since my Shiny Chingling encounter on the 5th of July, i've caught -

- 1 Shiny Baltoy
- 4 Shiny Miltank
- 1 Shiny Happiny
- 8 Shiny Gligar
- 4 Shiny Abomasnow
And I made it to 40 in a Castform chain yesterday, with 2 Shinies before my chain broke, due to my Repel running out and me not realizing xP

The Baltoy chain broke soon after getting my first Shiny at 40, I slipped up, so to speak. Same for the Miltank chain, although really, i'm sure I just broke it 'cause I was bored - yeah! ';3

The Happiny appeared on a chain of 7, which also broke not long after. I didn't feel the need to continue after finding one.

And with the Gligar.. I found a slightly early Shiny at 39(which had atrocious IVs incidentally - 21 / 0 / 6 / 5 / 0 / 0..). When I found 6 Shinies I tried to break my chain, but after a couple of battles trying to increase my chain, I found a Shiny bush. One battle later and I find another Shiny bush :/

Abomasnow was good fun, it's all misty atop of Mt. Coronet, so it was tricky spotting the bushes quickly. I found an early Shiny at 26 too.

After all that, i've been chaining Chansey, mainly for Lucky Eggs and to train my Shiny Furret. But after experiencing three chains breaking on 9, I decided to go for something else. I had Eevee in mind, despite catching not too far off of 100 altogether in past chains, there's something about them that keep me coming back =^_^=
Anyways, as I was SRing at Mr. Backlot to get him to mention Eevee, Castform popped up so I went with those, and caught the two Shinies.

No idea what's next, I have a few Pokémon which I want to train now, so I might chain something at the same time. I'll also be going back to Dialga SRing too.

Good luck, and congrats on the new Shinies :-)

Hi, i'm soft resetting to get a shiny starter, just wanted to know how soon I can tell if it's a shiny, can you tell that they're shiny when iewing the whole team?
xx

 

[Totod!le]

I'm currently SR-ing for a shiny Aipom. Im at 3700 resets right now. I'd have more but it takes so long for one to appear on the honey trees. I have a Jolly Sync in front so hopefully it'll work when Aipom shines.
