The Shiny Staraptor

[Kuri]

question about the contest ok I caught a shiny from Emerald and transferred it to DP does that still count?

[Catman25]

^ It should as long as you have some kind of proof.

[Kuri]

that's hard to do since I barely get a chance to receive wi-fi....unless I can give a simple picture? This weekend or so I will have wi-fi so please give me your fc

[Catman25]

Yeah, I took a picture, so it should suffice.

 

 

Bump.

[Kuri]

still I'll need Dark's/Your FC so I can get the rotom

[Catman25]

Yeah pm Dark, he's running this thing.

[Sweetie Belle]

[Sweetie Belle]

Mewtwo: 1st try

[sirAragorn]

I would like to join. I have all Gamecube pokemon gaes, Hg, D, Pt, MDET(Explorers of time),E,FR. I have encountered only 1 shiny pokemon without cheats and from my friend, and Red Gyarados in HG. It was a ghastly, and i know its already up there, but I never evolved it. I still have it :3 .

[Catman25]

^ Accepted. I've always wanted a shiny Gastly. And an Abra.

 

Mewtwo: 1st try

Zapdos: 2 tries

Suicune: 1 try

Kyogre: 5 tries

Rayquaza: 8 tries

Shaymin: wasn't counting

Really? Lucky. I couldn't get shiny Torchic after about 500.

[Dark]

Catman has already completed one challenge, and Jord may have completed another, depending on when I can get my ass on WiFi and check in the trade room. Regardless, keep catching shinies and posting them here.

 

question about the contest ok I caught a shiny from Emerald and transferred it to DP does that still count?

 

It depends which challenge you are using it for. It would work for the "blue-colored" challenge or the "level x" challenges, but not for the "catch outside of Sinnoh" challenge.

 

that's hard to do since I barely get a chance to receive wi-fi....unless I can give a simple picture? This weekend or so I will have wi-fi so please give me your fc

 

As long as I can read the text in your picture, the quality of it doesn't matter too much.

 

still I'll need Dark's/Your FC so I can get the rotom

 

In my sig.

 

Mewtwo: 1st try

Zapdos: 2 tries

Suicune: 1 try

Kyogre: 5 tries

Rayquaza: 8 tries

Either you are a hardcore RNGer, get really, really lucky, or are lying.

 

I think the third option is most viable. Even with RNG, it takes me 10+ tries for a legend shiny, but I guess because I'm aiming for certain natures as well.

[Catman25]

Speaking of which, I hadn't gotten the RNG method to work, so I'm trying the Masuda Method.

 

I transferred a Japanese Ditto (or what I believe to be Japanese, since the game has an English Patch), and have commenced to breed Onix. If I actually get a shiny in my life time I'll move on to Squirtle.

[Dark]

I've never actually done Masuda with a Ditto. It's always taken two non-Ditto Pokemon in the same egg group. Eh, I haven't really researched that method extensively, so I wouldn't know.

[Catman25]

I haven't researched it much either, only the tad bit that serebii gives. And it didn't specify all that much, so you may be right.

[Dark]

My friend challeneged me to get a shiny Sableye. This will suck.

 

If I try Ruby or Sapphire, it's only available in caves.

 

So, someone help. Where (if anywhere) can I chain a Sableye? I only have Diamond in terms of Pokeradar games, so that sucks.

[sirAragorn]

Um, If you have sapphire inserted, you can get it in Iron Island. I don't think you can chain it, sorry. It has to be luck of the draw.

[Catman25]

Yeah, serebii says 8% encounter rate at Iron Island with sapphire inserted.

 

 

If you have HG, it swarms on Route 9. No pokeradar though. :3

[Night]

I dont Really like the pokemanz anymore, but i will join,

cuz you know ManCat is Leading this shiz.

[Catman25]

:'D

 

 

Accepted. ^__^

[Catman25]

Blump.

[sirAragorn]

you put blump........ let's talk about what Isshu shiny pokemon might look like.

[Catman25]

Blump was intentional. ;D

 

And I plan to SR for a shiny starter right when I get the game. Hopefully the shinies are legit.

[Dark]

I'm hoping they bring back chaining for Gen V.

 

And, on an off-topic note, I hope they keep all of the breeding changes brought about by HGSS. It makes it so easy to get IVs. :]

 

Yeah, no luck with the Shiny Sableye. One of the first Pokemon challenges I've lost.

 

Any more for the Shiny Rotom thing? There are five challenges left. <___<

[Catman25]

I think chaining won't make a return sadly. D:

 

And I never bother with IV's, only EV's, though that's probably why I can't max out my stats :lol: .
