Naw, In HG/SS it definitely shows up when you're looking over the Pokeballs. Don't know about D/P/Pt, but I'm positive it's in HG/SS. Just have to keep trying!

I really feel like im doing this wrong im SRing for shiny johto starter i saved in front of the balls and just SR and look at the balls over and over again been going for 2 days nows >.< maybe im just rly unlucky cuz i have no shinies at all :p hopefully get my first today

Just keep on trying. Eventually it will show up.


i dont think it shows up as shiney when u do that duck, you have to pick it and look at the status screen

It does show up at the PokeBall Selection screen. However, you will have to pick one up and look at the summary if you're trying for a Kanto/Hoenn starter.

Nope, it'll only work for the Johto Starters (Because it won't work with the Kanto and Hoenn starters in HG/SS either) in HG/SS.
All the starters, except for the Johto ones in HG/SS, need to be picked before you can check if they are shiny or not.

I got my first random shiny in SS about a month ago. I was trying to hatch an egg, and accidentally ran into the grass on the route below Goldenrod, and thought "Crap, not another annoying battle." And then I saw a shiny ditto, level 10. I caught it, but not after some frustration, what with my level 70 some pokemon not being able to weaken it.

That was.............I think the 4th shiny I caught myself, along with the 3 pokeradar starlys

Hey everyone.

New on this forum, i tried to find a introduction thread, but could't find it.

Allright, I caught a wild Shiny Tentacool & Oddish. I also transferred my Shiny Bidoof & Starly to SS. They're up for trades if anyone can offer other Shinies.

okay for everyone who still don't know only the johto starters in HGSS will shine without picking one for the rest of the starters and other games you need to pick one.

I have yet to see a shiny in my SS. Before I knew what shiny pokemon were I killed a blue electrike because I thought it was a glitch or something. I believe I googled 'Blue Electrike' and I found out about shinies and such and was super irriatated. That is the only shiny I have ever seen.
 
Im working on getting my shiny chikorita. I want one so bad so Im breeding them via Masuda Method and after 100 eggs I still have no luck. Ahh this takes sooo long.

Hopefully it hatches soon. I gave up on SR'ing for shiny Lapras yesterday. A week is too long for me.

do shinies appear shiny in your pokemon list or only in their summary?

@DuckDoodles: If you mean by 'your Pokémon list', the list where all your party members can viewed: Then no. You'll have to check their summary. There isn't something in the games as a shiny Pokémon icon.

I think that its is a great idea if Gamefreak makes a Pokemon game where you can get all pokemon with or without wifi event and you can travel in all regions to get legendary pokemon where they belong. so dialga and palkia on mt coronet. Ho-oH at the tin tower. Latios is roaming and deoxys on Birth island. so you can get all shiny legends!
