The Official Shiny Thread

I haven't much more since my last post, just one new Shiny actually; a Hasty Swellow. I found it on a chain of 46-or so, in Platinum, and then carried on until it ended at 62.

And I had a chance of finding a Shiny Dusclops, yesterday, but I accidentally ran into a bad patch whilst chaining and broke it at 40, after switching my Syncher to lead position so that it was ready to do it's job if I found a Shiny patch xP

Ooo, tough luck, I know how that feels actually =P.
I was shiny hunting too, the chain was all up to 52 IIRC already, but then the repel effect finished.
I was like, 2 patches away from the next patch where it would supposedly go on, so I just rushed to it instead of spraying more repel.
One patch away from it, bam, a random wild Pokémon appeared ;.;

im gonna go for a lvlv 4 shiny bibarel(the glitch lake verity ones) soon/

I have one of them it's the weirdest thing.
I only have 1 shiny, Level 1 Mantyke. I don't really look for them.

 

[Azzurra]

I've run into a shiny Nosepass, and decided to evolve it into a Probopass, it certainly wasn't something I was expecting/looking for, either.

 

[Gamebuilder336]

In Pearl, I found a shiny combee.

 

[EVILHABBOMAN]

I found a shiny swinub and a shiny rhyhorn (Suinub is now mamoswine and rhyhorn is now rhyperior)
I had a shiny salamence, but i got it from GTS and it was haxed , so i released it

Still trying to get a shiny Giratina in Platinum. I'm also SRing for a legit shiny Latias in Ruby, thanks to a friend giving me his E-Reader and Eon ticket.

Shiny Darkrai from Event?

Hey, recently Target gave out Darkrai to promote the new movie that's coming out on DVD. Aaanyway, I got the Wonder Card, but instead of getting the item that allows me to go to the haunted hotel thing and have Darkrai visit or w/e, I just have to pick Darkrai up from the nearest PokeMart from a delivery man.
I was just wondering if I'd be able to get a Shiny Darkrai if I spoke to him, got it, checked, soft reset, spoke to him, get it, etc. or if it would just be set as a non shiny one?
Thanks.

 

[Azzurra]

I'm not too sure about this one, but you could try it.
You probably won't end up with a shiny Darkrai though, but I'm sure it still has an 8,000 or so percentage, even though it's an event.

 

[The Dragonite Trainer]

yaaaaY! i got my first d/p shiny yesterday - ZUBAT!!!!

 

[Zebra Thunderhead]

All ALAMOS Darkrai have the potential to be shiny, so it wouldn't hurt to try.

 

[Zowayix]

Yeah, it generates a unique personality to determine its nature, so it DOES have that 1/8192 chance.

However, any nintendo event pkmn with a preset nature or something cannot be shiny because it already has a predetermined personality value.

 

[Gelidice]

i caught a shiny snover at like 2 am yesterday, goes with my only other shiny, a groudon.

 

[fishyfool]

Christ, well done Gelidice, I see Snover and Beldum as the hardest shinies to chain. Beldum gets special mention for being an arse to catch, like.

My shiny history is meek. I SR'ed a shiny Azelf with IVs unsuitable for competitive battling that works well, and chained a Beautifly with duff nature. I haven't the time to chain, see.

lol pokemon rocks
i have a wii as well they rule dude

i have no shinys on my pokemon games i can never find them

so what does everybody think of battle revolution on the wii
i was quite dissapointed with it i was expecting a similiar format to colloseum where you have to walk around helping people but no :(

instead i wud rather buy a gamecube agen and buy colleseum on the gamecube lol

or try and find the very rare pokemon XD my mate found a copy in the shop and decided to keep his gamecube becuz of that game :)

i dont like the way u have to post 15 times before u can post a URL to another site i want to get you all on the best online pokemon rpg

 

[Gelidice]

umm... wrong place to ask..... oh, and my friend gave me a legitimate shiny ryperior!!

 

[Hikari Ven]

I got my shiny Latias, but I got her in my Emerald. I mixed records with my Ruby earlier, so I could double hunt shiny Latias. I hadn't even SR'd in Emerald for an hour when she appeared. I caught it in an Ultra Ball, she has a Calm nature, but her IV's are pretty bad.

 

[imunster]

Shiny Pokemons

Decided I wanted to catch a few. Any suggestions?

What's your favorite and why?

 

[Pechachu]

I love shiny Ponyta and Shiny staraptor. Staraptor is all.. Emo. <3

It's not so easy to just go out and catch them, though. It's luck of the draw, and I was lucky enough to get a staraptor. :3

 

[RileyVace]

I've never really looked into how you obtain Shinies by chaining, I've just traded all mine :D

If you can, get Voltorb + Ponyta, I don't know why i just like the transition from Red to Blue.
Also, shiny Eeve, so you can get Shiny Umbreon :D
