I'm pretty sure that shiny linoone's were given out to the people that nintendo fixed the berry glitch for. Could that be it?

 

[ShinyManafi]

It should be from the Gamestop promotion

Yes, that is it, but they gave out Zigzagoon's, not Linoone's, so you must have evolved it.

When did gamestop have a promotion? I am mad. I should've been there. ;264;

 

[LawLessChaoz]

When? Why?

 

[Robert1559]

[Robert1559]

They had a promotion shortly after the berry glitch was revealed to be in the American versions of R/S. It was one of the solutions to fixing it in the United States at that time, along with the Jirachi Bonus disc, Colosseum, and sending it directly to Nintendo of America, which will also lead you to getting a shiny Zigzagoon with a Liechi Berry.

It wasn't very promoted, heck the official US Pokemon site said it was a "special surprise," which seems as motivating as giving me free paper clips. :\

It was mostly just used for a patch, so they tried to release it in as many convenient places as possible, like maybe EB Games/GameStop?

PS: If you don't want it the promo shiny, I can have it if you want.

 

[Robert1559]

i think any one wants a shiny whatever it is

dream on ;p its my one and only shiny

 

[Robert1559]

but do they give out any other shiny pokemon

 

[M-Man]

nope, thats the only one that have given out waaay long ago

Aww, and I was willing to trade the promos I spent so much time and money on getting too. Yes, I'm infering I'll trade you the TRU Mew, JPN Celebi, USA Jirachi, or the Houston Deoxys for a fat shiny Linoone that could easily be cloned (unlike the promo legendaries).

Back on topic though. What game did you obtain the Shiny Zigzagoon? I want to figure out since I never bothered to ask for a Shiny Zigzagoon at GameStop, thus never knew how the patch promo worked. I know it says SAPHIRE, so does that mean you got it off Sapphire? Also, what's it's IDNO.? I heard it was 30317, but I need confirmation.

 

[Robert1559]

i now they gave out mew, deoxys and that shiny zigzagoon but did they give out others or just those

You guys are lucky! I havent got one single shiny in the 3rd generation
