Can you catch shiny pokemon in Colloseum/XD and trade them to your GBA, especially the shiny legendary dogs, becuse they are otherwise so hard o catch... and if you cannot catch the dogs there as shiny, where is the easiest place to catch them shiny?
 
Any Shadow pokemon has a chance of being shiny. Collosseum is the best place to SR for a Shiny Raikou/Suicune/Entei, but i'll still take a very long time. btw pokemon can only be shiny on your first encounter with them.

Explain what you mean by "first encounter," please.

what Raikou77 means is that you can only SR for a Shiny the first time you battle the shadow Pokémon. For example you can ONLY SR for Entei when you first battle Dakim on Mt.Battle. If you lose to him and save you won't be able to SR again becasue Entei will be set for the rest of the game. If you knock out a normal shadow Entei the first time then save and go on to Realgm tower you still wont be able to SR for Entei because he will be set. If you manage to KO a Shiny shadow Entei it will be shiny for the rest of the game so you can snag it later because everything will be set next time you battle him. I hope I helped to clear things up.
 
but how can you see a shadow is a shiny? the same as in the other games? and if you turn the game of will it be set?

When a shiny shadow comes out golden orbs will surround it just like when you send out a normal shiny but, this is will only happen the first time you encounter it. If you knock out a shiny shadow and battle it later in the game to snag it, it will be shiny but the orb effect will not happen. Yes you SR basicly the same way as in the other games it just takes longer....ALOT longer.

Almost forgot that in XD shadow Lugia is different when you are hunting it as a shiny. Shadow Lugia CAN be shiny. It's very hard to get a shiny Lugia that way because you have to NOT save after you beat Greevile then purify it. if its not shiny then you have to battle Greevil again. You need to repeate this process over and over.

Colosseum is easier because for you to be able to get them shiny in FR LG you need to keep restarting your game. The Legendary Beasts are set once you get your starter so there is no way to SR for them.
 
Thank you very much, both for the new questions I didn't have to ask and the answers. It really helped. Also, thanks for the strategy on how to get them.
 
I have a question about shinies myself.

When people say they are hunting for a shiny Pokemon, what do they mean specifically?
