Well, often I've wondered about shiny Pokemon. I researched if you can get them, and sure enough, yes. But it's hard, like a 1/5400 chance? Or was it 1/8700? :-k ....Either way, it's hard. With a sigh, I turned by DS off and forgot about them.

 

 

 

Hearing some rumors stating "Fight 40 battles with the same Pokemon, and your next catch is automatically a shiny!" or "The chances of shinies are increased with every chain link," I decided to see if the theory were true. The Pokemon to chain? Bagon.

 

 

 

Sure enough, only 25 battles past...And I couldn't believe my eyes...A shiny Bagon. The first theory was discredited to me, as I captured it, now it's my Salamence today. But then, after a 40 battle chain test out, I've another shiny Bagon, so the first theory was in place yet again. But truly there is no proof; so my last theory was only determination, luck and drive can you achieve a shiny. However, I choose not to accept this hypothesis until I hear you methods of capturing a shiny (If you did).

 

 

 

 

 

Indeed...I wanna know what shinies you've captured!

 

 

 

My shinies? Well, lately I've been obsessed with shinies, so now I have a shiny Torchic (hatched---restart rate---300 times), Eevee (Hatched---restart rate---350 times), Lucario (Hatched, then evolved from baby--restart rate 400 times), Salamence, Pichu (Hatched---Restart rate--200 times), and my starter, Empoleon, whom I chose not to make a shiny until I feel like it. But those are the only shinies I've recieved.

 

 

 

Yes, a restart rate total of 1250 times...

 

 

 

I'm very curios of what you have. So share. 8-)

Well, to begin. If youv'e used your pokeradar, there is always rustling in the bushes. Let's say you are hunting bagon, like me. You kill it. But don't fret! As soon as you KO it, the pokeradar automatically makes more rustle. To chain link, you have to go to the farthest shaking bush, but also must be the same shaking...Let's say bagon shkaes the bush violently, and you can see white panting things eminating from the bush. It's a must that you go to the farthest one THAT HAS the eminating white patterns.

 

 

 

So you run into another one. Then keep doing it, and soon a beautiful chain is going on. Rumors have been 40 battles = a shiny. Good luck, despite me not believing this rumor.

Off my pokemon Crystal, i have a shiny Blissey, Shiny Umbreon, Shiny Espeon and shiny mew. Only the shiny mew was a hack , i got it off my friend :D
