Shiny Ditto Trick

Hi
How do you do the shiny ditto trick?
I was thinking of breeding for shinies in Crystal or Gold with it.

It requires RBY, just to let you know.

Trade red Gyarados/any other shiny to RBY. Teach it Mimic. Trade it back to GSC and delete all its moves except Mimic. Trade it back to RBY. Find a wild Ditto. Make Gyarados/whatever use Mimic to learn Ditto's Transform. Transform into each other a few times, then catch the Ditto. Trade it back to GSC. You have a new shiny!!!

Yes, do this. I think the chances of getting a shiny from a non-shiny bred with a shiny ditto is 1/64, am I right?

Were you talking to me? Have I done this trick already? If so, then yes, I've already done it, and it works. The breeding thing, I'm still working on. I'm gonna get all of eevee's evolutions shiny.

Yes, you are right, it's 1/64. I still haven't gotten my shiny Eevee yet, though. And, I have done the trick before, it does become shiny.

*yawn*
I restarted my Red about a week ago, but abonded it due to Crystal being so addictive and awesome. I'm not even in Saffron yet so don't have the Mimic TM... -_-

Moving on the bike on these games is so slow, that I forgot all about it. I want my shiny eevee pronto!!! I mean really, all I have to do when I get it is clone it five times, and then start evolving. Simple as that, I did the smae with gyarados and my ditto.

You can't get it on G/S/C, because now, instead of the copycat girl giving you a mimic tm for a doll, or whatever you have to do here, she gives you a pass to ride the magnet train from kanto to johto. You'll have to get it on R/B/Y.
 

Thriller

Its almost time
This whole breed with shiny Ditto to get shinies is a myth.

I have hatched over 100 charmander eggs and God knows how many Magikarp eggs and none has been shiny.

Maybe cause you're just not havng the right luck yet. Keep trying. Just because it's i/64, doesn't mean you'll get it after 64. Keep trying.
