Shinies :(

I tired the pokeradar to get me a shiney rose-(BAN ME PLEASE) (I hate that poke). I thought someone on here would trade one for something...Anyways, 14 was my best chain. Then the thing failed to get a response and no grass moved. I was saddened.

When the grass doesn't move, just use the radar again. It continues your chain. It's what I did on my Chansey chain when no "rare" patches showed up.


Unfortunately, that one ended at 25 when the fat-ass cow showed up instead of the fat-ass whore.
 
Well of course. It's statistically possible, though it'd get to the point where you'd have so high a probability that you'd lose the chain that it's rather unfathomable anyone could even break 150/200.

What about with Magikarp or something? I remember reading somewhere where there was a one hundred percent chance of running into a certain Pokemon whilst in a certain area - I believe it was an EV guide, and that the Pokemon was a water type, so I think that it must have been Magikarp.

It was most likely from using Old Rod or in the water, which won't work with the Pokeradar. :S
 
My brother saw a shiny Pelipper yesterday, but he didn't have any PokéBalls on him....That's why I always carry around at least 30 Ultra Balls.
Anyways, I only have a few shinies--a shiny Ditto from FR, a shiny Belossom from Sapphire, and a shiny Zubat from my friend's Diamond. My friend is lucky--Diamond is his first Pokémon game, but he found a shiny Golbat AND a shiny Zubat. I was lucky he traded his Zubat over to me.
 
The only shinies that I had were Ditto in Firered (transformed into the shiny version of the pokemon, so it was cool) and a Gastly in Pearl, which was Careful, ugh. It's now a shiny Gengar, so maybe I could rip off someone on GTS for it

Why not GameFAQs? They have lower standards for trading than Smogon, so try that to get a few TMs.
 
The only shiny I ever ran into was a Shiny Solrock in Emerald. ^_^
I have like....50 clones of him in my Pearl...27 in Emerald....60 in Sapphire.

And the Pokeradar shiny thing DOES work! 100% if you follow the instructions. I caught myself a Shiny Roselia, a Shiny Purugly and 2 Shiny Shinxs!! They're now fully evolved and EV trained. >.>
 
No, they had fixed IVs due to a bug, which were (if I'm not mistaken), downright mediocre.

Also, holy shit, this is an old topic.

IIRC Defense, Speed, and the Special IVs (which were always the same back then) were fixed at 10 for shinies, and the Attack was variable.
 
i found one shiny so far in sapphire, a shiny wurmple(DOH) after training on E4, i had no fly poke, so i walked to the next town, and i said to my sis:"the only shiny I will ever encounter, will be a wurmple, probably when I'm training without a flyer." the stupid thing: 5 minutes after I said that, it happened:sad:

it's now a dustox BTW. lvl 100
