I managed to hatch a shiny caterpie recently..... And I found a shiny Drowzee..... IV's aren't that good, but I'll keep him.
I wish I found one... But on the other hand, I haven't been playing all that much.
* Eraleas looks around for Emerald cartridge.
I'm stopped hatching Beldums, because they only learn Take Down, and the chance of hatching is 1 of 8192. I've readen somewher that hatching gets a chance of 1 of 819.2. Another thing that isn't true.
It is hard to hatch one alright! As hard as to catch one... But hatching takes too long! -_-;
Well I believe that if you are destined to catch one you will catch it or hatch it without trying to find a shiny.I believe that hunting shinies will not help at all!
I guess BLUE is right. It has been years since last time I saw a shiny and now I have so little time to play pokemon, that going after shinies is not an option for me...
I don't look around in every corner of the game for shinies, neither I avoid them completely. I just catch them when I find them.
The problem is: Do you find them?
I have found 3 shinies.A duskull in Emerald,a gyarados in G/S/C(as usual) and my first pokemon in the Ice cave in gold,a shiny Swinub.
I only have one shiny in Silver (exept Gyarados).It is a shiny weedle wich my cousin gave me.
Well, it's not easy (actually, it's vey hard) but after some time of playing the game, I find one. I don't know if it's real or I see it shiny because I'm sleepy by then, I just know that I managed to catch two or three in all my games. The strange thing is that in Crystal cartridge I could find shinies much easier. I don't know why...
Pokefan is very lucky.
A kid from my school has played his ruby for 999:59+ hours and he has found only one shiny!!!!
That's my point.You found your shiny Dusklops at 19:00 hours while he is playing so much and has only found one...
my friend has played *think* 834 hours (I think it's more now) and he doesn't has even one shiny!
