    The only shiny pocket monsters I managed to catch (other than the red Gyarados) are a Kingler and a Wailmer (Sapphire)

    Just randomly came across them, I tried chaining for the first time last week, and other than the fact that I suck balls at it, I found it too hard and boring.

    I was going to go on a breeding spree with the Kingler and Wailer to try and get more shinies, but I can't say if I want more of em as I never use em.

    I just caught a shiny Ponyta outside the entrance to Mt Silver. It's bright blue and so pretty. I'm so happy

    It is BEAUTIFUL!
    If I could get any shiny right now, I would choose Ponyta, but other than that I'm not a Ponyta fan despite the fact that I like fire types

    Tried it and didn't like it. I like the bright blue Ponyta better

    Couple of hours a day, between lunchtime and evenings for 4/5 days.

    I had thought I might SR for a shiny mewtwo as well (He's my fav!) but I don't think I could go through that again. :(

    I wouldn't mind SRing for a shiny legendary, but what sucks about it is the difficulty in catching it, so it's still not a guarantee to catch it. If it struggled to make itself faint, I'd rage for hours

    I was very surprised about three weeks back when I hatched a lovely shiny 328-m.png on Soul Silver :) I trained it and now it's a gorgeous330-m.pngUnfortunetly it's been doing terrible in all it's battles so far so I might tearfully have to replace it from my competitive team :(

    Good luck! I haven't gone for Mewtwo yet myself, but he's my favourite 'mon, so I might and might not try for a shiny. The nuclear-green tail is awesome looking...

    It is! I got to 120 SR's last night before I went to bed. I'll continue this evening. Also gonna SR for a shiny Charmander after I beat Red. That black Charizard looks so badass!

    just got my first shiny of soul silver.

    Spr_4h_075_s.png

    Was just doing some leveling up at the time when he appeared. Was worried he would self destruct as the previous gravler i ran into did. Didnt get him with the first heavy ball, got him with the second

    I'm terrified of encountering a shiny in the Safari Zone in case it runs on the first turn. The golden Bellsprout is really nice :)

    So I'm SRing for a shiny Charmander now, but just a quick question on it.
    When do you know if it's a shiny or not?
    Do they appear shiny before you decide to pick them, or do you have to agree to take them, and look at them in your team?
    This could save me precious seconds, which turn into hours!!

    I'm pretty sure it's the second one, since you don't get to look at them before picking them unlike the Johto starters

    Spotted a shiney in the Safari zone : Spr_4d_043_s.png
    Luckily the first ball I threw did the job, but I think I peed a little...
    Added to the obligatory red Gyrados that's 3 so far. Fingers crossed my japaditto will start churning more out soon :)

    I sure hope so! x3 Though I'll probably end up killing it or something!!

    Also, I was going to write up how to chain shinies in the first post but I can't edit it. DX

    I've decided to go after the Mew in "My Pokemon Ranch" which is basically a "breed as many fodder Pokemon as you can and transfer to the ranch" exercise. I'm using it as an excuse to try the Masuda method for breeding shinies. I'll let ye know if it works, and if it does how many eggs I went through.

    I have a shiny Infernape that I transferred over to SS from Platinum. When I made him my first Pokémon and went for a walk I was disappointed about the graphics. I don't know how to show the picture of him, but he's kinda redish pink.
    I also have a shiny "B" Unown.

    Yeah, I don't think he's that cool. I'm embarrassed by him. Infernape is meant to be all manly and strong. He's not meant to be pink!
    A black Charizard is way cooler!

    I'm positive that I came across a shiny Raikou a few days ago in SS (almost literally!)

    Saw another one the next day and it looked totally different...


    ...Of course I failed to catch both of them! ^_^
