why is shiney charmander so hard......2 boxes full already.... so i decided to take a break and soft reset for mewtwo...I SHALL PREVAIL!!!!! one day....

I got sick and tired of trying to hatch a shiny Charmander. It's takes way too long to hatch and I just decided to trade over most of my Pokemon (after over 160 hrs of play on FR) to Sapphire and start over to get a shiny Charmander. Two days and no such luck.

My recommendation: Trade over and restart your game for a shiny starter, if you can. Otherwise, have patience and good luck. :)

My Shinies: Nidoking, Flygon, Porygon, Alakazam
Seeking: Charmander for Charizard, any shiny that looks better than the default.

greenking :D
3 days SRing and still no Torchic, and I swear when I get my shiny, I'm going to kill a billion Zigzagoons cause they're getting on my nerves, although one did come out shiny, again, but no pokeballs :(

Yes, I like Snubbull
Coin trick in an attempt for a shiny abra. I have now tried 12 times without luck.

You know... the shiny I want, that I have NEVER seen anyone ask for, is Houndoom. The problem is how to get one. The ONLY reliable way I can think of to get a shiny Houndour is to hatch for one - since the only place they appear in the wild is a rare occurence in the Emerald Safari extension. :(

Go Houndooooooooom! ;229;

._.;.. I keep thinking that the Mudkip I'm picking is shiny because when you realease it to fight.. its shadow ish purple-y looking ><.. I'm also trying to get a Torchic or Treeko on Emerald (I switch the pokemon each time I SR).

What are you going to do with four shiny Abra's? Oo"
I will SR for a Shiny Charmander some more, but it's annoying me now. It's getting very boring. :(
@Encyclopedia: Let's make it a contest. The one who gets Shiny Charmander first wins.:)

@leftovers
I never really have been shiney hunting, but i just got my second shiney, it's even a nice looking one: Staryu
I never looked at my pokemon's natures,ev's and iv's. So I decided to do it, my first pokemon was gonna be Starmie, and the third egg i hatched was a shiney.:D
But the nature is adamant, so can't use it:(

You can always use it, but it's really sad. It's probably the second worst nature. (Besides Brave.)

Marina is the best!
I got my 4th Shiny Abra, so now I'm gonna try to get a Shiny Beldum.

Heck, how'd you get those? Been hatching for shiny Abra a long time, but no luck :( Given up hunting now tho, gonna trade wi-fi with D/P and concentrate on training pokemons I can clone for trading in stead. Already cloned one of my shiny Zubats and my shiny Machamp, so now I have 3 Zubats and 2 Machamps. Gonna trade them for other shineys soon I hope.

Offtopic: I play FFXI too. What server are you on?

Ontopic: 4 shiny abras? whoa...
 

superjolteon

TEH-MEH!!!
4 Shiny Abras? Reckon you should have one of each evolution and the other can be whatever!
How do ppl get lucky in hatching shinies? Makes me slightly ticked off!
Anyways, havent really played that much so far but still no shinies seen yet. Thought I saw a green sandshrew but unfortunately it wasnt... :(
Well Demonic never give up! Trust your instincts! Or in this case "trust in luck"!

Btw, someone said b4 about no one having a shiny sandslash. Well I'm 99% sure someone has one on here. But havent seen them in a while.
