Oooo.... shiny

[Khanczar]

Aren't the odds just incredibly low? Something like 1/6000 I heard?

 

[Marth/Falco Pro]

I have just been told by my brother that his friend (he his the world's stuppidest person, seriously) saw a yellow trapinch, and not knowing what a normal trapinch looks like, he ran away from it. Plus he is on the 5th Gym leader (I believe) and he hasn't got cut or secret power!!! OMG

shiney trapinch isnt yellow....its black! i had a shiny one but now its a blue Flygon
Khanczar, the odds are 1/8192 i think :embarrass

 

[H@wK]

Exactly!

Hehehe... We both use Falco, and we both have a Shiny Flygon!

 

[Wenbobular]

...Wow...what're the odds of that...
Man, I want a shiny Flygon. I never even had a regular Flygon.

 

[ecstatic]

There's this person I hate who got a shiny Articuno. He showed me. (He's a friend of my friend and we were both over at my friend's house.) Although, I have a feeling he cheated, it wouldn't be very out of character of him.

What are the chances of hatching a shiny pokemon if you breed a shiny pokemon with a non-shiny pokemon? I heard in G/S it was 1/64 but is it different in current games?

 

[Cyphus]

i caught a shiny miltank in gold and i've put well over 1,000 hours in my game. I've raised so far 52 lv. 100s, (most of which were in Dodrio-3xSpeed Mode in stadium2) and in all this time a freakin' miltank? -___-


on a related note of "Luck" and whatnot. I've gotten POKERUS twice. Once on my original Gold Version file, and once again on my 2nd.
And they say thats just as rare as a shiny.

 

[D-20 Dice]

I thought a shiny chance was like 8000 to 1 and pokerus chance was like 60000 to 1. :nerd:

 

[Brawlman]

I got a strange shiny Bellsprout in Silver.The color was slightly brighter than a normal Bellsprout and it shined. I called it a glass Bellsprout.

Big House #1, the chances for a shiny to be born are REALLY low, but based on the Monte Carlo method, used in many games. (Basically a REALLY LONG algorithym and probability, used with random numbers that are not really random, like a dartboard spilt into four sections, and that to get to your goal the "dart" MUST land on the exact point in the exact location at the exact time.) I find the possibility that your ID number is one of the "random numbers" along with the time of when you finish the game. These are only my theories whatsoever.

But it is possibly true that getting an egg to be a shiny pokemon in it is exactly the same as getting a shiny out in the open. (In which that is 1 out of 8192, for encountering a shiny) Otherwise that's about 8192 eggs, usually less, around the 50 egg or more of only one kind of pokemon such as a Sableye, to be born a shiny.

(Though my twin sis got our first shiny in Ruby, a Hariyama. We even used it to breed but it does not effect the chance in any way of getting a shiny. We bred with it alot!)

I haven't every played Gold or Silver though, only Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Pokemon Colosseum and Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness, but have gained a worth of 5-8 years of experience from my brother. The Monte Carlo method part I got from reading the internet, and my twin sis. Since it's used in casinos for gambling, and is the real "luck" thing is most games, including online games like Conquer, Runescape, etc. because throughout my luck in games, in Conquer I got a dragonball luckily by killing a monster (rare).

And that's all I have to say. (Pretty long for a FLCL crazed asian, huh?)

 

[D-20 Dice]

The chances only increase in breeding in G/S/C. In R/S/E, it's the same chances as an encounter.

 

[Marth/Falco Pro]

Hehehe... We both use Falco, and we both have a Shiny Flygon!

wow! what're the odds of that? out of a bunch of people that play ssbm and pokemon, we're probly the only two that use Falco and have a shiny Flygon ^^ thats pretty cool

You could of just used a simple answer, like "it's the same as an encounter" that would of saved some much typing time.

1000 hours? It sounds like you lead a boring life, lol. I still haven't found pokerus.

Ecstatic. I was at his house when he caught it Is that proof that he didn't cheat?

 

[The Franchise]

I got extremly lucky in my Ruby game and somehow managed to get a shiny Treecko, Cascoon, Meditite, and Beldum. I'm in the process of building an all shiny team but its been slow work finding two more pokemon for it.

[daisythirdeyeW33]

I caught a shiny Wingull and Cacnea in Ruby, twice! yay. But not at the same time though.
The Wingull I caught was near Pacifidlog and Cacnea was in the desert.

 

[Marth/Falco Pro]

oh btw, i have also have a shiny Crobat, Linoone (Not from event. Really Gay) and a shiny Dugtrio (Blue version of Rudolph. He has 3 freakin blue noses ^^)

 

[commonyoshi]

We bred with it alot!

Sorry, but I'm really tired.

I just checked in my PC and I have about twenty pokemon with pokerus that I never used once I caught them. Three came from eggs. o.O

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

We bred with it alot!

Ewwwww..... XD

The odds of breeding for a shiny and running around trying to find one are exactly the same.

 

[cu00x19]

Once in Ruby, I was fishing in one of the (Safari?) Zone places and found a shiny Seaking, but the park balls blow, so I couldn't catch it. Also, when I cast into the water again, I found it a second time, same gender and level too! I was like, "WTF mates?!" Then the park balls ph@1L3d again...

And in Silver I saw a shiny rhyhorn...silver colored I think it was? IDK, it was several years ago. Too bad I wasn't carrying any pokeballs w/ me at the time-I was looking for a mart to buy great balls. Lolz!

 

[Big House #1]

I did here there was a shiny rhyhorn in Victory Road Silver/Gold, but I never saw it. I assumed that it was a joke, but you saying it obviously proves that it was true. Dam, I should have looked harder, lol.

Shiny Pokémon can be everywhere, as long as the 'normal' Pokémon are there also catchable of course. For example, you can catch Shiny Pidgeys wherever you can encounter a Pidgey.

 

[ecstatic]

Ecstatic. I was at his house when he caught it Is that proof that he didn't cheat?

Woah, then that's pretty uber.

 

[Captain Blue]

I once caught a shiny snorunt. It was blue instead of orange.

 

[Big House #1]

If you want to know what any pokemon looks like shiny, try this link: http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-rs/

 

[the Marronator]

Holy scheisse, I've been playing the pokemon games for the longest time, and I have NEVER encountered a shiny pokemon I thought they were so rare, but now I come here and there are people who are getting shiny starters O_o That is just not right. I must be extreamly unlucky or something like it.

 

[Big House #1]

Hopefully you'll get there... hopefully. lol

I think most of us know that one already though...

 

[Da Man]

Here's some of the shinys I caught or seen in my lifetime:
Light brown Zigzagoon (Sapphire)
Pink Wobbuffet (Sapphire)
Jigglypuff-Forgot what colour (Crystal)

 

[Marth/Falco Pro]

Hey guys, I ahve a team of Shinies now but they're just duplicates of my original shinies. 2 Shiny Linoones, 2 Shiny Dugtrios, and 2 Shiny Flygons. Just read the "Cloning on Emerald" thread if you wanna learn how to clone. it works!

 

[Rabiteman]

I caught a shiny Sableye a long time ago in Sapphire. It had like, a more reddish tint and different colored jewels. Gold and green?

 

[Golddron]

I caught a blue koffing in that burnt tower. And a goldd bellsprout.

Oh, and tthat red gyarados.

 

[Vyse]

I have a shiny Zubat on Ruby.

It's green.

 

[Big House #1]

Yay, finally got my shiny Porygon I always wanted!!! *clones* I love cheating. :D

 

[Vicious Delicious]

I don't cheat when it comes to Pokemon

The only shiny Pokemon I've ever caught (both on Gold, Red Gyrados doesn't count) were a pink Butterfree and a red Koffing. Once Koffing evolved, it turned to more of a maroon shade. My friend also had a blue Eevee (so jealous...) which evolved into a blue Espeon (SO JEALOUS...)

 

[Pyr0]

Shinny pineco , houndoom, snorlax, latios

 

[bijoukaiba]

I only have one, a shiny Minun. I like how it sparkles when it goes into battle...

 

[Chickenboy666]

Once a friend (TSG-yellow blaze) trade me a exclusive-event Mew from his red version to my silver version and OMG! it was blue

 

[len1]

my freind has caught tons of shinys like a silver tentacool, Blue Beedrill, All orange Ho Oh, Green Chimecho,
