People will say things about shiny patches. Dont think it will be true (sometimes is true).

Are there any pokemon easier to catch that are shiny?

Please tell!

Any chainable shiny is easier to get a shiny variation of, but apart from that, they all have the same chance.

Ironically, the only shiny I have is a Seviper. o.0

My highest chain is 22... I'm not very good at chaining yet... Never encountered a shiny in D/P. Are there any pokemon that are easier to chain than others?

Right now my current target for the 4th gen would be Darkrai. SRing after the green guy in the pokemart give me the TRU event Darkrai. So far nobody has proven that you can't get a shiny Darkrai from that event. I've seen shiny one's but we are sure that they were hacked.

Dragonking: I believe somebody said that D/P-Event Pokémon can't be shiny unless they always are.

Yeah the mod, skittyonwailord, has said that all D/P event pokemon except for the manaphy egg, are set to be non-shiny.

Today I caught a shiny Starly. I was leveling up my pal parked Seedot on Route 204 then BOOM! It came out of nowhere. I caught it with a Nest Ball right away. This is my sixth shiny I own. I'm so lucky.

Well, I've had Pokemon Diamond for well over a year now (since it came out in the US), and I've caught a total of 2 shinies.

The 1st shiny I caught was kinda like an accident, XD

One day I was chaining with the Pokeradar on Route 209 or so (I can't remember too well), and I defeated a Bibarel to start a chain. Then, all of a sudden, a shiny Bibarel appears on a chain of 2! I was shocked to say the least, lol.

And then, after I screwed my game up by failing to do the Void glitch correctly (which in turn can get you Darkrai and Shaymin without cheating), I had to restart my game.

Fast forward to the Acuity Lakefront. After going through the tough routes to the south of Snowpoint, I was making my way to the city, when, all of a sudden...

A shiny Medicham appears out of nowhere! No chains or anything.....I luckily caught it in -one- try with an Ultra Ball...it was level 35 or 36...

I'm still looking for my 3rd shiny overall. Too bad I lost my shiny Bibarel, although that pokemon is lame, so it's not a bad loss at all, lol.

I've been chaining shiny elekid's for a while now. I have reached 40 twice only to NEVER get a shiny! That is sooo frustrating! maybe I will get it soon.

Hey Scot, it says in your sig that you have a shiny gyarados and shiny Gabite, may I ask how you obtained those and about how long it took you to get them?
