Still never seen a wild shiny. --- I'm calling you an elitist, but I'm just gonna go ahead and leave a snooty remark as I go. I am wutz good SS FC: 4598 9525 2106 Black 0991 3491 6739 |
FuneralCakePosted 12/6/2012 10:47:35 PM | On average, I would have to say 7+, thanks to the PokeRadar in gen 4.
If not for that, I'd say maybe 3. I never got one in gen 2, and gen 5 still fails to give me a random shiny that I can actually catch. That Patrat... *shudder* --- TOTALLY, TOTALLY NOT HOME ROWED want some funeral to go with that cake? |
Why_Is_Purple(Topic Creator)Posted 12/6/2012 10:49:08 PM | Skull_pro posted...TC didn't mention if we had to exclude the Mandatoriy ones (Such as red gyarados) and/or events, because in each case, I got a lot more, or a lot less shinies. Why_Is_Purple posted...This is excluding predetermined shinies (e.g. the G/S/C/HG/SS Gyarados or B2/W2 shiny dragons). --- IF YOU GO IN THE DIRECTION OF THE ARROW. 3DS Friend Code: 5069-3926-6218 |
WolfJouninPosted 12/6/2012 10:55:14 PM | Nobody believes me when I say the ONLY shiny I had ever encountered from playing since the beginning until now was a Shiny Bidoof in Diamond, because I say I killed it intentionally out of anger. Kind of sad lol... I did trade for a few shinies, but I never found another than that Bidoof. --- Everything in life is a battle. Even peace itself is a battle to maintain it. |
Gardevoir47Posted 12/6/2012 10:57:11 PM | Hey, I got shinies before anyone had any clue about them (except maybe a lucky Japanese guy.)
I got a shiny Oddish in Silver and caught it because I liked the shiny effect.
Then when I saw shiny Gyarados, I thought:
"Huh, these must be pretty common."
Boy was I wrong. --- Pokemon White FC: 3825 7849 1598 BTW, The Game |

CrystalKing5426Posted 12/6/2012 11:07:18 PM | The only non-red Gyarados shiny I've legitimately encountered was a zubat in Shoal Cave. --- Other M is the One More Day of Metroid |

It was the one Professor Juniper shows you how to catch. http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f94/home_rowed/stupid_prof_juniper_i_hate_you_soooooo_much.jpg I've also found a shiny Poochyena in Ruby while I was trying to reset for a shiny starter, and then I also KOed a shiny Ralts in Ruby thanks to a critical hit.
