Hmm... So what might be that shiny pokemon ratio?

[TWhaormraesn91]

I'm pretty sure all odds are against me :'-( but oh well. I WILL TRY!!! I am determined. Also, must I trigger a shiny appearance? I'm pretty sure it just happens at random. Problem is, I've had this game for about 2 years and haven't seen one shiny. I've got very bad luck.

When you come across a wild pokémon it has a 1/8192 chance of being shiney. Always. (I know pretty low odds)

A shiny could pop up anytime randomly. I used to be shinyless for two years until I caught a shiny Golbat, then a few months later, I caught a shiny Geodude.

 

[TWhaormraesn91]

Great... After I've seen 8,192 pokemon in the wild I will have been guaranteed a shiny. Only.... 5,687 TO GO!! lol. Just an estimate. I just thought of something... If you breed shiny pokemon are their babies shiny?

 

[Emerald Metagross]

Go here. It sould explain everything.

 

[TWhaormraesn91]

Thanks. Wow, so now that I look at it's pretty much a 1 in a million kind of thing except smaller. This is very disappointing, but I WILL find a shiny. I WILL!!! Lol, thanks for everything Emerald Metagross!

Oh yeah, and one more thing. Do the shiny pokemon still "shine" when you bump into them like on Gold and Silver? If not, I might have accidentally passed one because the sparkles always got my attention in G/S.

actually, its 1/8192 every time, not in total

Well, you'll probably get one if you see 8,192 wild pokemon, but my shiny sceptile took over 10,000 resets in ruby and about 70 treeko eggs.

Yeah, too bad you can't pick the ones you want to be shiny...
