    When it appears it has some sparkles that come around it and it is a different color than its original counterpart.

    oh and i read somewhere that it's a 1 in 65,000 chance. so basically, 1 in 65,000 encounters their will be a Shiny. haha awesome odds. psyche.

    how long did it take of wandering around before you found it? i've been looking for the past hour and a half loll

    it took me around 45 minutes to an hour, i got very lucky. after a while of getting annoyed with walking around i decided to just stand in place and use sweet scent. it worked pretty well. i just killed whatever came up and it gave me a way to train my ponyta to a rapidash.

    I just got the Nintendo Player's Guide for FR/LG and it says that it's not a matter of odds... it's a matter of how long you've been playing... The guide says "If you travel the world of Kanto for a very, very long time, you might come across a rare, specially colored Pok?mon."

    This is from the official source...
    but anyways, believe what you will...
    one thing is for sure, they sure are hard to find!! :D

    no, it's still a matter of odds. they just mean that the odds are so great that theoretically it will take you a very long time before you find one (like I think it's 1/8164 or something, think how long you would expect to search before finding something under those conditions x_x). besides, then how would you explain the cases where people find one within their first hour?

    Freaking A man. I was playing two nights ago and fell asleep, right? Then the power goes out during the night so my SP can't recharge while I was sleeping and then it runs out of power and I lose my Shiny Snorlax... now I have to try and get him again.. as well as all those levels I lost from not saving.. Grr..

    In all my different games, I caught a shiney Cleffa, a Shiney Gyarados (of course) a shiney Tentacool that evolved into a tentacruel, and a shiney Caterpie that evolved into a metapod and then butterfree.

    I've never seen a shiny pokemon since I first played pokemon silver...in that, I got the red gyarados, found a shiny tangela under pallet town, and a shiny donphan in mt. silver...sad thing is that I think the odds of encountering one were even smaller in GSC than in RSFRLG...I need to set aside a day to go around in the grass and do nothing but hunt for shiny pokemon.

    And, I know they make a sparkly noise in GSC, but do they make the same noise in RSFRLG? The thing is, I'll often play with my eyes closed but with headphones when I'm shiny-hunting...

    You're not the only one, Nick. Apart from the Red Gyarados from GSC which everyone sees, I've never seen a single wild shiny. I'm beginning to wonder if they purposely took them out of the UK versions or something...

    There's....a....red Gyrados....in Silver.....wow...
    Let's see how long was silver...? Um....3-4-5 years? I caught a shiney spearow! Except...my friends and I beleive he isn't really shiney, he just stayed in the sun too long and got bleached. >_>; I also saw a shiney tengela (sp). "Yipee! Shiney!!!" -drools- Go, Raichu! weaken it with non effective attacks! -second attack critical hit, drops dead.- NO!!!! -sobs.- -trades raichu for a electro.- Darn thing.... Diligence, luck, and an act of whatever is in the cloudy place is what you need to get a shiney....they sparkle!!! -^^- owner of : LeafGreen
