    • I've got a couple shinies;

    Non-Chained:
    Feebas ---> Milotic (Not the event Milotic, as I caught it as a Feebas.)
    Oddish ---> Vileplume
    Ponyta ---> Rapidash
    Wingull ---> Pelipper (Sapphire catch)
    Ralts (Sapphire again, planning to train it soon)
    Magnemite ---> Magneton (Sapphire again)

    Chained:
    Nincada
    Medicham

    I'm still pretty new to chaining, and am having some trouble with it, but I'm sure it comes with practice. If there's any easy spots you guys know of where I can practice, let me know.

    Also I saw on youtube apparently there is a type of glitch for breeding a shiny pokemon, if you reject the 1st 42 eggs from the daycare man, and hatch from #43 on, eventually you'll get a shiny. I'm testing it currently. Here's the link to the vid.

    Umm, that's not exactly true. If you get heaps of eggs and hatch them one is bound to be shiny.


    Anyway, I DID have a shiny Darkrai, but my SISTER, who I near killed afterwards, restarted my game and saved. :/

    It might have been hacked though.
    It was pretty awesome. ;D

    Stay away from edges. Go to the farthest patch from where you stand that is the same kind of grass as the first grass your Pokemon appeared in. If only one or two grass patches wiggle, walk 50 steps and use the PokeRadar again, don't risk it. Use repels, try to not run out.

    My only shiny I ever got was a shiny Whismur in Sapphire. I was bored so I trained my Torchic to become a Blaziken before I fought the first gym :P. Ran into it while I was grinding 3 xp at a time basically :P.

    I have always had trouble chaining. I've seen some suggestions so I won't ask those. Only question (sorry if it is the wrong board), is how do people get legit shiny legendaries and legit shiny starters? Starters I can see with eggs (still wondering how, I've hatched about 47 charmanders trying :P). Legendaries though baffle me, cause I'd love to get a legit Shiny Rayquaza.

    It's called Soft Resetting, or SR. Just save right in front of the Professors bag/Legendary and talk to the bag/legendary, if the Pokemon isn't a shiny, then restart your game by pressing L + R + A + B at the same time.

    • I haven't ever caught a Shiny on my own, but I remember my friend gave me his Shiny Electabuzz for my birthday. At first I just called him a cheap bastard for giving me a Pokemon for my birthday, but I'll be damned if I don't love the thing to death now...

    O.o
    It's not necessarily the farthest away, it's the one that is 4 patches (rings) away.
    The Official Shiny Thread

    This picture represents the best spots. Don't go to the patches on the edges, but one that is 4 rings away. Notice that the top right patch is farther away in steps than the patch directly below the girl, but each patch will be the exact same. Any patch that requires you go 4 spaces in any one direction (you may have to move in a diffrent direction after you move 4 steps, as with the top right patch. See? You have to go 2 spaces up, but then you still have to go 4 spaces to the right.) will most likely continue your chain. I believe that some chains will break for no reason, but it will be unlikely if you do everything right.

    The other part that was bolded is the part where Yukio says to walk 50 steps. I just want to add on to this. You cannot go more than 10 steps away from the spot you last used the PokeRadar.

    I caught a shiny Wurmple while trying to round up some Pokemon to be Pal Park'ed in Emerald. I didn't realize it until I got into battle. I caught it, and now it's sitting my Box for posterity.

    Was it shiny when you sent it over? The way you worded this makes it seem like it became shiny. It can't.
