SOM1else he/him Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 (edited) As many of you most likely know, completing the national PokeDex in a Pokemon game is one of the hardest and most time consuming challenges that the game presents. Well me and my cousins have begun working towards an even more ambitious goal. We intend to collect the Shiny version of every Pokemon #000-649. We want to make this as legit as possible, therefore we will obtaining them through Chaining via PokeRadar, breeding using the Masuda Method, Trading, Soft Resetting at Legendary encounters, any Shiny given out at an event, and the occasional random encounter with a Shiny. To make this an easier task we are not doing this solo but instead have split into groups that are primarily working towards collecting Shinys from different regions. My groups region is Hoenn, if any of you have Shiny Pokemon native to Hoenn (any shiny is acceptable), and would be open to trading it please put up what Pokemon it is and what you want for it in return, also if anyone has a Ditto that is from a Non-English version of Pokemon and would be willing to trade for it please post what you would trade it for. lastly, if you know for a fact that the Shiny you have is not legit or if it is hacked please don't post it for trade we want to have this be as legit as possible. EDIT- thought of 2 more ways to get shiny easier Edited April 28, 2011 by SOM1else 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOM1else he/him Posted April 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 I've been playing Pokemon since fifth grade and I have yet to ever meet a wild shiny pokemon aside from the scripted red Gyrados... We're not doing this just by random luck, by chaining we can get the odds down to 1:200 and guarantee that we only see that type of Pokemon. By breeding with a foreign Ditto we reduce our odds to 1:1365. Plus there are about 8 of us working together and we already had quite a few shiny between us before we started this that we won't have to get again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zas678 he/him Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Wait- you reduce your odds from 1:200 to 1:1365? Isn't that making it harder to get pokemon? Do you mean 1:2000 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOM1else he/him Posted April 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Wait- you reduce your odds from 1:200 to 1:1365? Isn't that making it harder to get pokemon? Do you mean 1:2000 No, you if you chain a Pokemon with the PokeRadar it lowers the odds to finding a shiny down a little bit each time you see the same Pokemon in a row, that is until you see 40 in a row and your odds are at 1:200 then you just keep resetting the radar util you see a sparkly patch of grass which guarantees a shiny Pokemon is there. If you break the chain your odds go back up to 1:8000ish. however only pokemon that can be caught in the grass, in diamond pearl or platinum can be chained since they are the only games with the pokeradar and the pokeradar doesn't work in the grass. if you breed a Pokemon with a poke from another country your odds go to 1:1365. for the Pokemon we cant chain that how were gonna get them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silus - Shard of Flame he/him Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 I look forward to visit you in the mental hospital, watching you rock back and forth muttering about probability equations and occasional outbursts about "that freaking Mew". Also, the Escapist is really cool. Yahtzee got me there, but I don't actually watch him anymore, I prefer Extra Credits. Less swearing and sex jokes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zayde he/him Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 Huh. That raises a good question. How are you going to get shiny legendaries? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silus - Shard of Flame he/him Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 Especially Mew, since I've never heard of him being available since Red and Blue. It's probably been available since then, but it'll be a pain to get. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOM1else he/him Posted May 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 We already have some shiny legends, I traded a shiny gallade for a shiny deoxys a few months ago. luckily the shiny gallade is still in the group working to find all shiny's so we won't need to get another one. Each of us also have the shiny dog trio, those were easiest to get cause they were from the GS even in February. Other shiny legends that we have are Darkrai Latios, Dialga (my cousin caught that one by pure luck, when he battled him it turned up shiny. He only had 6 plain pokeballs and managed to catch it luckily), we also have a Shiny Mew, and I think there may be a shiny Mew-Two but I'm not 100% sure about that one. Anyways legends are going to be a pain, we will probablly go back to previous games and soft reset until we see a shiny legendary. luckily we aren't trying to have every shiny at once, after I trade my shiny Deoxys to everyone in the group so they have it in their PokeDex I can later trade that Deoxys for another shiny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silus - Shard of Flame he/him Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 How the heck did you get shiny Mew? Did you know that Entei, Suicune and Raikou are actually based on big cats rather than dogs? Entei is a lion, Raikou is a tiger and Suicune is a cheetah. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum Toast he/him Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 How the heck did you get shiny Mew?It's catchable in one of those special event areas in Emerald, that's the only way I can think of. I'm curious about how they intend to get Celebi/Jirachi/Manaphy though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOM1else he/him Posted May 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 It's catchable in one of those special event areas in Emerald, that's the only way I can think of. I'm curious about how they intend to get Celebi/Jirachi/Manaphy though. Yeah I personally don't have the Mew but it is in our group and I have seen it, they gave a Mew out last october but it wasn't an encounter, you just received it. so yeah I'm guessing they got it from a 3rd gen event and just reset the game till it poped up shiny or reset the one in october until it was shiny, I don't know if that would work with the october one however. Celebi Jirachi and Manaphy are going to probably end up costing an arm and a legs wort of trades though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum Toast he/him Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Now I think about it, I've heard that Black/White are programmed to prevent the in-game Reshiram, Zekrom and Victini from being shiny. Maybe they intend to send shiny ones out over Wifi, but it seems odd for them to go to that kind of trouble for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know victini can't be shiny right now but but he has a shiny version so they must be intending to do somthing with it at a later time, if you KO reshiram/zekrom you fight them later at Dragonspiral Tower and they can be shiny there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silus - Shard of Flame he/him Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 So Zekrom/Reshiram would become shiny in between encounters? Haha, I'm seeing it do a DBZ kinda transformation thing. METAMORPHOSIZE INTO SHINY FORM! (yeah, I don't know DBZ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOM1else he/him Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Honestly I don't know, my white cartridge went missing so I lost every one of my shinies :/ I restarted pearl and am going to finish it before I replace White but I havent been able to chain anything. I'll have to ask everyone else how they are doing though, our group has nearly tripled in size since we started this and I know that there is one person in it who will only train with shinies, I would be willing to bet that he has more to himself than the rest of us have between us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
