    i thought that with the legendarys that run away, if they are shiny when you first meet them,the stay shiny.
    That's what I thought. D:

    Hmmmm... I must've been mistaken then. Haven't seen another one since then anyway:s

    Then again, I didn't save after meeting it the first time...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,090 ✭✭✭wobbles


    Ah there you go then. I think its calculated when you first meet them, so if it was shiny the first time, it would have stayed shiny, but if you didnt save and saw it again, it would have been your first encounter and its shinyness recalculated

    so *this* is what it sounds like when doves cry....

    You poor thing...if it makes you feel better I have a shiny Raikou that I could donate to your game

    Thanks, that's very nice of you... Think I'll keep plugging away and trying to find my own shinys though, they'll be a lot more treasured knowing that I've put effort into finding them.

    Of course NOW they give me a fupping master ball!:rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,066 ✭✭✭elekid


    I was just farming a Chansey swarm for Lucky Eggs when I caught a Spr_4h_164_s.png Shiny Noctowl. How unoriginal ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    Was hatching Chikorita in Diamond to fill up my Ranch, hatched a shiny female, gentle nature. Hurray for me :)
    The father was american, the mother was japanese, so who knows, maybe the method works?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,090 ✭✭✭wobbles


    congratulations on the new arrival. Thats great news as i was starting to doubt the masuda method was real, and not a waste of time. I never thought id get sick of charmanders but at this stage........


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 866 ✭✭✭Buzzthebatgirl


    If it's any good to anyone I now have a Spanish copy of Diamond so I have easy access to foreign Pokemon from that game. Once I beat the story mode that is....

    Forgive me if I shouldn't "revive" this thread. It was only on the 2nd page anyway. :3

    So, I got this beast today.

    Aw no way! Sorry to hear that :(

    That's the reason I always keep a spare master ball with me. You just never know!

    Ya..I normally do too ...but I haven't had the chance to trade any over (and this was in Platinum...which I restarted for 'nuzlocke').
    I kinda stopped expecting I'd ever see one ...><


  • Registered Users Posts: 55 ✭✭Champion Gold


    I have a shiny Gyarados and the 3 shiny beasts from the event in japan (spares too if anyone wants) but I've never found one myself :mad:

    My bro has loads and he evn ran away from a shiny starly cuz he already had 2 XD


  • Registered Users Posts: 185 ✭✭rossism

    Action Replay allowed me to live out my shiny dreams back in the GSC days. The fun of everyone being shiny! :D

    One of my only legit shiny pokemon (apart from the red Gyarados) is this guy: bibarel-f.png

    He was quite special because I discovered him in... THE SAFARI ZONE!! I noticed something was off as he glided across the screen, and then I saw/heard the bling! of the shiny stars. I was all ZOMG, then realised where I was. :eek:

    Thankfully, as the Bidoof line is so, so common, I caught him with the first Safari Ball. I'd have cried if he ran away.

    Finally got a shiny! Transferred a Spinda from Ruby last night, went into Pal Park and stars were all over the gaff. Green spots! Now if only it were useful...
    Spr_4d_327_s.png

    I'm not entirely sure it was shiny when I transferred it. It can't become shiny through Pal Park, can it?

    First I've heard of Pal Park changing the hidden values, but I wouldn't complain :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,090 ✭✭✭wobbles


    I think it was shiny in ruby, but you mightnt have noticed. I dont think pal park can change it to a shiny

    That's what I was thinking too. Ah well. Glad I picked that one so, I had 4... I don't know why tbh :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 360 ✭✭popzmaster

    why? just catch it. it wont affect EVs


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 360 ✭✭popzmaster


    Yea i know that its just that if the first shiny i ever encounter in like 9 years of playing is something that you eventually get through the storyline I'll be marginally upset to say the least :p i could always keep it as a magikarp but still...you get my drift


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,090 ✭✭✭wobbles


    I used the masuda method to get a shiny magikarp despite having its evolution. I just wanted to get the pair


  • Registered Users Posts: 55 ✭✭Champion Gold


    Well I don't hve the shiny pair but I do have both of them with french pokedex entries :cool:[

  • Registered Users Posts: 172 ✭✭Jazzkamiden


    Ah, sorry about that guys. Dunno what happened. I can't even see them myself. xD


  • Registered Users Posts: 185 ✭✭rossism


    just picked up another shiny off the gts, pity its a garchomp and looks no different :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    At last, a first shiny in HG - a Growlithe. She's hot and over dressed, but I couldn't name her after Jean Byrne... Anyway, hurray for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 360 ✭✭popzmaster


    epic win my friend congratulations im *still* waiting for my first wild shiny... It'll probably be my BW starter :P

    Congratulations!! I love my Growlithe... soon-to-be Arcanine I hope :)

    Does anyone know if soft resetting can damage either the DS cart or the older GBA carts? I'm sure I've asked but I've checked and I can't find the answer online. It's flippin impossible to SR on a DS anyway! Might try and get a Shiny Hoenn starter and work my way through the game :) So long as those clock problems don't show up...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,090 ✭✭✭wobbles


    When i was trying to get my shiny charmander, i used the masuda method. Took a lot of eggs getting hatched but i just threw them into my pokemon ranch to make up numbers to get the mew.

    Not sure about the question about damaging the cart. Id say it would be ok but i wouldnt try it with hard reseting


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,013 ✭✭✭marko93


    Oh i'd kill for a Shiny Growlithe :/ I used to have an EV trained Arcanine, he was awesome, oh lord i miss him. DAMN YOU THREAD ¬_¬


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,066 ✭✭✭elekid


    I've seen 99% of the new Pokémon now so my self-imposed spoiler exile is nearly over, but I just had to come on to say I caught a shiny Vullaby yesterday :)

    I thought we had something special... *sobs*

    Ran into a shiny Sawk today. Caught. But looks almost identical. Boo urns.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,477 ✭✭✭✭Raze_them_all


    We did....but my god man think of the beard!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,491 ✭✭✭looking_around


    Wow, just caught a shiny cresselia in platinum!! :O .. thats my(own) second shiny, ^_^. and a running legendary!, I'm shocked =D


  • Registered Users Posts: 150 ✭✭wedgelington


    has anyone else noticed shinys more common in black and white, i have found 2 shinys in the last 2 days on my pokemon black(cubchoo and swellow(green white and orange))


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,354 ✭✭✭Urizen


    I think it might be something about the shaking patches. My Sawk and my brand new shiny Basculin were caught in shaking grass/ dark pools respectively.

    Oh and yeah, blue stripe Basculin shiny. It's a slightly different shade of green. Laaaaame. But still, shiny!
