you you poor soul.

im not he said he would trade it to me after he caught it in exchange for me training it and evolving it and then giving it back to him

That kinda seems like something that shouldn't be left out of your original post.

I almost got a Pidgeyotto. But it used whirlwind so I couldn't catch it.

that's a shame.

I have a question.

does a roaming legend remain shiny even if it escapes?

Roamers retain the same IVs as the previous version of itself, so a shiny that matches up with your ID and secret ID should remain a shiny roamer.

I've gotten all my shinies in natural ways. I don't do chains, don't use the Shiny charm, the Masuda method or anything. They have just appeared randomly. In the order I found them:

-East Gastrodon (Eh, not my favorite Pokémon and the difference between the normal and shiny one is minimal, but a shiny is a shiny so it's ok).
-Roselia (I wouldn't use it in battle, even as a Roserade, but it just looks awesome).
-Wailmer (What the hell. I wanted a BLUE Wailord and I got a purple one. I just caught because a shiny is a shiny but I just don't like it).
-Bidoof (¬¬ Are you fucking kidding me, Diamond?)
-Whismur (Cool, I guess).
-Ekans (AWESOME! Arbok is weak but it's one of my favorite Pokémon ever (even when I'm ophidiophobic) and the shiny version just looks incredible).

Yes.

 

[Stargatedalek]

good, I hope I find some, I have a few shiny cards, but I didn't even know they were in the games

 

[MnSG]

I did receive a shiny Zorua through the GTS at one point.

 

[Zae]

do shinies even do anything aside from change color?

 

[Yoshiwaker]

No.

But aren't the IV's that make them shiny pretty bad? I think most of them are near 8 or 9.

 

[Snifit on Stilts]

Yoshi, you're thinking of gen 1-2.

 

[Anser]

Yoshi, you're thinking of gen 1-2.

Except that Shiny Pokémon didn't exist in Gen 1.

 

[MnSG]

PokeGen can actually make legal shinies with high IVs and proper natures. Sadly, if you can't modify your game data, pretty much 99% of the shinies that you'll get will either have bad natures and/or lackluster IV values.

What is the chance of getting a shiny pkmn without hacks?

It's a very, very small chance. 1/8192 to be exact.

With the years I got out of Emerald and Pearl, I never saw one. Well, that's what action replays are for I guess.

Using an Action Replay really isn't the best option if you want your Pokemon to look legal though. For one thing, every Pokemon uses a hidden ID, known as a PID. Your Pokemon had to use a PID that the game uses, or else it can't be considered legal.

I've been playing Pokémon for 14 years and I got to see my first shiny Pokémon only last year. I found five shinies last year, and one this year, all "naturally", which means no Shiny Charm, no Masuda method, no chaining, no nothing. Just random encounters. You just need patience.

Shinies are overrated anyway.

I caught a shiny green fish thing in White (forgot its name), and it was slightly a lighter palette

I never knew that things such as PIDs existed. Ya learn something new every day! But are PIDs important? Like, do "illegal" pokemon behave different in a way?

 

[MnSG]

No, but for Wi-Fi purposes, using Pokemon that look like they're hacked puts you at risk of getting banned from using Nintendo WFC; this basically means that Action Replay usage is not a good solution. PokeGen is basically a safer way to modify your Pokemon, as that program helps make your Pokemon appear legal, by game standards.

 

[User4042]

Too bad I can't teach any Pokémon any TM move in Pearl because that code's only for the UK





Anyway, I just evolved my Pignite into Emboar

And then people go and RNG manipulate and screw everything up.
And it's impossible to understand, at least from my standpoint.

But I found my first normal shiny (IE non-masuda/SR) today! Geodude! :D

 

[NotABannableOffense]

Fuck the shiny Dratini from White tree hollow. I had a shiny Dragonite before this. Now it isn't as cool.
