Soft Reseting... That's all there is (if you want a starter/legendary) or breeding/hunting alot if you want anything else. There's no tricks at all...

How come ppl have so many? DEDICATION. That's why I have 25. Just go to a certain spot and walk around repeatively.

EDIT: Why am I helping whiny n00bs who don't even read the rules?

it's random chance and luck.
they could be really lucky, have spended lots of time, or cheated for them.

just keep trying >:3

How come? They might just run into one all of a sudden. The could have soft resetted for hours. But it's worth it. IT'S ALL LUCK. Don't count on it. Don't trust it. Just go with the flow, play the game normally and sooner or later you'll encounter a Shiny. I myself thought I was unlucky since I have never randomly encountered a Shiny pokemon, but look, now I have more than 1 Shiny pokemon I caught by myself, and I've been playing Pokemon ever since the first games were released. Just be patient.

That's what happens when I drink too much Pepsi and 7UP mixed together. >>
Anyways, don't double post (otherwise you'll probably get a warning if you keep on doing it). Edit your post. That's why the Edit button is there. ^^

Luck or dedication?

Usually they appear when you are not expecting them. My trick is EV-training. I hate it because it takes a lot of time even though makes my pokemon stronger, but since I love shinies I do two things at a time, shiny searching and EV training. I cought a shiny Zubat in the altering cave on emerald while EV training me Kyoghre for speed. I know that a lot of people will say that I just got lucky and I won't argue. I did get lucky, but I would never have one if I would not go searching for it.

shinys are special because they heve different colors but not different stats.........runing in to a shiny is so low.......................i think 1 out of 1800,i only have 2 shinys.............i suggest you first complete the game catch all pokemon.trained them all to lv.100,and then go look for shynies and dont worry they are just ordinary pokemon,only their color is different

I kinda liked the other chances better:(

If I can get 4 Shiny Pokemon (the others were given to me by friends), then obviously you can too. XP
It's not like it's impossible.

@Peteyism
finding a shiny is based on luck. there is no technique to getting a shiny unless if u cheat to get one. just soft reset alot or find some 4 leaf clovers, luck horshoes, and a couple rabbit foots so your are lucked out 2 the max:)
