HELL YEAH!, just did some trading on the GTS, managed to pull a shiny Kyogre, so excited right now!
Yes, it is possible. It is somewhat tedious, as you have to save more or less before/just afrer you enter the grotto where it's located, have a sizable scene before it joins you (including a battle), and a scene after before you can check if it's shiny or not. I started SR-ing for Latios on my OR, and quite quickly got tired of being unable to progress with the game. But if you're fine with not continuing with the game for a while, it's kinda more entertaining than regular SRs, since you have other things to do rather than perpetual shiny-checking and restarting.Right, so I am getting AS for Christmas, and I was wondering whether it would be possible for me to SR the Latias I would get in the story? Also, would it be very tedious (e.g. massive conversations to go through before the battle)? Thanks!

As for me, long time no see everyone! My age-old Woobat hunt was placed on hold, due to both running out of box space in X (and having no access to Pokebank with my current internet), and ORAS arriving. Currently attempting to chain fish for a shiny Feebas. Had an unsuccessful day yesterday as I forgot my Lileep had suction cups, so kept getting broken chains, and haven't had any success this morning. Hopefully a purple fish will pop up soon though!
Congratulations to all on their new shinies! Especially those exciting new Reshirams and Zekroms!
OK Thanks! So I would not be able to see whether it was shiny in the battle?
You don't battle with the Lati in your team. You arrive, cutscene, battle trainers, and the Lati joins your team afterwards during the next cutscene. You cannot check the shininess of the Lati until the whole plot event is over.OK Thanks! So I would not be able to see whether it was shiny in the battle?
The order of events go: You can save HERE. Cutscene that leads into trainer battle. Cutscene. Lati@s fight. Every SR, you need to do all steps again.
BUT, why dont you ask your friends if any of them have the Eon ticket? With the ticket, you can go to the island later in the game to capture the other Lati, without any cutscenes and such. Much less tedious.

Congratulations everyone on their latest shinies!
You can argue all you want with me, I think trips at grandma's are the best way to hunt shinies! The hour-long car trip twice a day as well as the time not doing anything there is so helpful!
About 15 hours deep into my Cresselia hunt, and since I do about 1,5 SRs per minute, then that makes around 1350 SRs (and I'm pretty sure it's more than that; I was really concentrated yesterday). Already ? Time flies so fast! I didn't even see those go! Hoping to get this hunt done with soon enough, though. I've got so many things to do; I even prepared myself for my Buneary MM hunt in Diamond (which I'm excited for a lot).
... plus, I really need something comforting right now... My dog died this morning... She had a sort of heart tumor or something... Can't really tell right now; my mother was too broken to speak clearly... I don't like when mom cries. And it's difficult not to cry. I have this big... ball in my throat since like 2 AM...
And at the beginning of the week I lost my precious cat, too! It's starting to be hard on the heart. I just need something to get my mind off of this... And I think a shiny gives a lot of hope. It did, not even a year ago, when I reclaimed my shiny Kyogre after my dear Cosmo died.
Good luck to everyone!
