starting to get depressed; no shiny yet, and boxes are filling up. is there any other method i can use given no access to wifi? i figured if i tried searching in the wild for a shiny purrloin the shiny I did find would be something retarded like a patrat..

You can try the SR method, save in front of the day care man when he is holding an egg then collect 5, hatch them all and SR if none shine

it would of been a nice add if the shaking spots in the grass would shine like they do for the pokeradar, if they were shiny.

up to 100 eggs of snivy.... and i laugh everytime i stop and say, OH?
YOUR AT 100 EGGS, IT SHOULDNT BE A SURPRISE IF AN EGG IS HATCHING

whether it's shiny or not is determined when you get it from him? I wasn't sure of that method so I was a bit hesitant about it.. but it beats having to release all these purrloin.

Ive hatched 3 shinys using it, and yes once you recieve the egg it's stats, shine, sex, everything is already generated.

after i filled my 5th box of purrloin (officially 150 hatched now) I have turned to the SR method, hopefully that produces my shiny. I will be chooseing the 5 best purrloin from the 150 I stored as the 5 other members of my all purrloin team.

Well, just got around to transferring one of my japanese Ditto over from my IV gen games, as well as my shiny Grimer. Currently breeding for a shiny Petilil, 'cause Liligant is awesome. Done 20 eggs so far with the SR method.

Good luck wishes all around.

Wow, I have a german Suicune.

Transfered about two boxes of pokemon, many of which where legendary. Several of the legendaries where event only, such as Jirachi, Mew, and of course Celebi.

I also transfered the two shinies I had on my Soul Silver: The Gyarados, and a Pichu.

Edit: A french beldum, huh?

About 65 in and no luck with shinies, although I have gotten Deino with a 31 in S.Atk and another with a 31 in Attack.

Now all I need is a Japanese Ditto with a 31 IV one one of it's attacking stats or speed. I do have one with a 28 in Speed, should I settle for that? I could get something else with a 31 Speed IV, but I want to be MMing at the same time.

Oh, it's cute, there is no argument about that, it's just that some of the pokemon, espcially the event only legendaries, are really friggin difficult to catch.

Agreed. Its all in the timing and man do they jump fast.
