We are currently experiencing a flood of requests from bots scraping the forums. Unfortunately it has gotten to the point where it is negatively impacting the site. As a result the forums may be slow and you may periodically experiance an error message.
We are aware of the problem and apologize for the inconvenience.
Apart from the obvious shiny Gyarados from G/S/C, all I have is a shiny Golduck from Crystal which I caught in Mt. Silver and a shiny Linoone on my Emerald, whom I am trading when I get to Pokemon UK.
