metagross are almost impossible to catch the only shiny i had was a shiny medicham in platinum

I have a legit shiny Golbat, Tentacool and Palkia. That last one was quite a surprise, lol.

Damn, that's ridiculously lucky.

But to get a shiny legendary is really lucky. If I'm not mistaken, once you start a new game is when all of the legendary Pokemon are given their values.

Or he could have just traded for it... Right now a black/white/black2/white2 event is going on where u can get a shiny dialga palkia and giritina for free.


The only shines ive ever caught were shiny wingull and red garados.

Didn't even know about that event. He didn't specify if he traded or caught it though.

Ahh, Red Gyarados, I remember how special I felt when I got that back in Gen 2.

Caught it in Platinum
A shame about that event, really.

Save before a legendary, catch it a few times. If the stats differ at all, then it's not set when you start a game, it's set on it's own generation like everything else.

I'm at work so I can't try that. I probably wouldn't anyway, but I did look it up. It's decided upon the encounter. Apparently, soft resetting the game changes a value that could determine if it's shiny or not. Here's what I found.

Soft Reset (Useful for Legendaries and Shiny Starters (Gen. II to Gen. V))

One method which is easy enough (but often very time consuming) works for starters and most Legendary Pokémon. Basically, the method is to stand in front of the legendary Pokémon you will catch/starter you will take and save. If you don't get a shiny when you get your starter/battle the legendary, soft reset the game by pressing A+B+Start+Select on the GBA and L+R+Start+Select on the DS. This method can easily require over 1000 resets before you get a shiny, however with enough dedication and patience your efforts can pay off.

The only shinies I've "caught" (No Gyardos/events) Would be an Audino, Charmander, and Groudon.

Yup. I got it without resetting though. That'd be much too tedious and pointless for me anyway.

I can't even imagine your reaction when you got the Charmander.

Arras In that case you're extremely lucky

my first shiny was a budew LV 13 that i found at eternia forest on PKMN pearl, i imported it(now ,it´s a Roserade) to every pokemon game afterwards .
I found a Green Zubat at the Dark cave on SoulSilver,LV3.
and a pink Sneasel at the cave before the battle against colress on the plasma Ship.

that´s why i never use Repel......

 

[ßleck]

Ah shinies. I only ''caught'' a shiny Floatzel and coincidentally enough also a shiny Charmander. It must have been a glitch, but I never bothered to look it up.

When i was a kid i always played pokemon sapphire, thats where i found my first shiny pokemon and it was kyogre.
At the time i thought he was ugly and refused to catch it so i killed it. Really regret that now though...
