I've just caught a shiny Golbat while training with Riley, i had to kill a wild Steelix off first before also killing off Rileys Lucario (so he wouldn't knock the shiny out either), i managed to get the shiny down to about 10hp before throwing an Ultra ball at it.

This is my second ever shiny, one being in Emerald and this one being in Pearl.

Caught my first shiny!!!!!!

Unfortunately it is only a Staravia... and even more unfortunately it is a modest nature lol, but I dont care, I don't competitive battle, I plan to raise it up and make it part of my real party, I only have a 4 pokemon party ATM anyways.

So after two weeks of chaining off and on I finally caught a shiny. It was another random encounter one. I don't normally like woopers but this little pink things pretty cute. (and it's stats aren't too bad) congrats to everyone who caught some shiny's and if you didn't well don't give up it takes time. lots and lots of time.

lv 8 Shiny Hunter
ok so I got tired of azelf hunting and decided to chain my signature pokemon which happens to swarm on my b-day (3/3).

So I got 7 shiny beldums in total before I quit. only one of seven beldums were adamant even with abra's synch. Rest were 3 bold, 2 brave, and 1 timid.

Braves were my best one and one is great for trick room cept 31 iv in speed. Hate when you get perfect iv with negative nature.

Will continue my azelf hunt and hope to get it before I receive soul silver.

Good luck to all you shiny hunters and you future hunts. Annoying azelf didn't shown after around 3-3 1/2 weeks now after recounting days.

Hey guys, that shiny Staravia I caught, it knew defog when I caught it, and I just noticed Staravia doesn't normally learn defog? what on earth is going on???

BTW I have never used anything to hack this game, is it a default in the game? or is it normal for shinies to know moves they don't normally learn during the level up process???

^You have to erase 3 of your post there kris198921.

I'm right behind you with 1200 eggs. Just enjoy it I suppose.
We both should be getting the shinies this month, a long with Pieman.

Good luck everyone.

That's because they stop at 40 and keep resetting the radar until they find a shiny patch. At least you got to 40 though, mine keep breaking randomly at 20. I go into the right patch and everything but it always breaks. I've been above 30 a couple of times but can't get there again.

does the spiked ear pichu wi-fi event for europe and us give u a NORMAL SPIKED EAR PICHU OR A SHINY ONE? i got a shiny one!
 
@Bug Boy: Are you positive you did not teach it Defog? Has anyone else had access to your Game? Shinies are only different in colour they shouldn't be able to know different moves to normal pokes.

In my shiny world... i managed to get a 40 chain of Machop in my fiance's game. This is his first chain of 40 (even if i did it) so when the patch appeared i let him go to it and catch his first ever in game shiny. Then lastnight he managed to get a chain of 40 Budew so he has one of them aswell ^.^

I caught a Machop for myself after the first one and traded him a Shiny Voltorb for it ^_^ I named it Barret and his one is called Hulk.

I'm still going slow on my Kyogre and Squirtle hunts. However i did get two pikachu coloured Pichus today! I'm evolving the one on my Platinum game and i found it's attack iv to be 30 and it's speed to be between 27 and 29, which is perfect for what i want it for. I'm keeping my Diamond one as a Pichu, don't know it's ivs.

@ blckdemondrgn: Wow out of all those Beldum only one was Adamant with a synch... i was extremely lucky then, as i only had one chance with my shiny Beldum and it is adamant.

That Arceus seems fake to me. There's not been an azure flute event as far as i know even in Japan. But i might be wrong.

Wow so lucky to get a shiny Sealeo! Sososo lucky!

LOL no one else has access to my game, but I guess I did catch it at about 3 in the morning... so I suppose it IS possible that I taught it that, and don't remember, it did go through my head wondering if I taught it that, but I convinced myself I didn't lol...
