The internal battery doesn't affect random shinies, does it?
Nope! A Dry battery Ruby or Sapphire produces random encounter shinies like any other, as ya can see from my Wurmple above . This also applies to Emerald, as dry R/S have an RNG that works similar to Emerald's. You can do any RE hunt as normal, and I would recommend bringing one fighting pokemon to defeat all non shinies and five pick up Zizagoon, as you will end up with a fantastic item haul at the end of the hunt . However, dry battery games and Emerald are not advisable for SR hunts, as the RNG loops and if your shiny frame is not near the start, you will most likely never find a sr shiny. RE's are fine because encounters cycle through the frames fast enough to avoid this issue. If you do want an sr shiny, you're best bet is to start a new file, save before picking your starter, and do around 50 soft resets, with 5 different speeds for ten resets each. This way, you are hitting more frames to see if you have a so called, "shiny file". If your starter shines during this time, I believe you can also get other sr shinies in the game quickly, but I'm unsure if they will be RNG clones or not. If the Poochy or Ziggy you fight shines, you also have a shiny file with that ID! What you need to do then is SR, and move a bit slower for the starter to shine instead. This is how I got my Shiny Mudkip Kippa on my previous dry Sapphire file . He came after 3,500 SR's and 2 uncatchable shiny Poochy . So yes, RE shinies work as normal, even on dry battery and Emerald games . I'm no expert, so if anyone knows more, feel free to add anything and/or correct me! As for my hunts: Starly on Diamond is on a measly 800 RE's, Aron on Sapphire is on 150 RE's, and Route 5 on Black 2 is on 3k Good luck everyone!The internal battery doesn't affect random shinies, does it?
FINALLY I can progress to rainbow rocket side quest in my ultra sun I know I could of just captured one and knock it out however I really wanted to try to get one shiny at least and just capture the other non shiny unfortunately the synch failed -_- but oh well I mean it isn't that bad its naive nature XD
Quick question for everyone: has anyone gotten a shiny from transferring Gen I Pokemon through Transporter? Also, is it possible to manipulate the DVs so they turn out shiny?
Got my Shiny Celebi today after doing around 50 or so SR's, so all in all, it took pretty much bang on the full odds to get the Celebi.

I don't know if i'll pickup any other shinies from Pokemon Crystal, if i do, it'll probably be using the 1/64 egg with a shiny ditto, but that's if i can be bothered spending the extra money for a gen 1 game on another console.
Now i can go back to SoS'ing and eventually MM'ing some shinies on my UltraMoon game.
Good luck everyone with your hunts.
The Celebi event in Crystal is a permanent event, it will not ever cease to be obtainable in VC versions of Crystal.
...wow who knows who I am eh? xD Life has been going nuts on me for years now, but hunting was been at times moderately successful for me. My last shiny however was a shiny Mudkip on Pokemon Ruby lately! I ordered a legit Ruby and an AGS-001 GBA from eBay just before the month began and picked it up, and yeah now I am on a new Badge Quest! Pickup is working miracles for me as I hunt too
Have fun hunting y'all!
Fist-pump time!
Now I worry on how hard it is going to be to catch that thing
It's not that hard to catch. It has a catch rate of 45 so with 5-10 ultra balls and full HP, if you're lucky.
Is it like Sudowoodo and I have to catch it immediately, or can I come back any time? What Pokemon that can learn False Swipe will be the easiest to level up and do the job?

Or you could just master ball it, which is what I plan to do. Take no chances.
Shiny goomy after 406 eggs. Female, calm nature, alert to sounds, with Hydration. I'll keep her for now, but might send her into WT later.
