The Offical Shiny Shadow thread

I have read many threads asking about shiny shadow pokemon and so I decided to give coronis my idea via PM, he said I could post the thread and he would sticky it.... I Don't have much information at the moment but I have PMed people who have snagged shinies Questions and I will update with their answers if the deside to answer....

this information was collected from loads of posters in the shiny snag threads and members who have snagged shinies:

General​

Shiny Pokemon, just like in the Gameboy games are very rare and some are even pretty, the chances to find one is 1 in 8192, that dosent mean after 8191 battles the next pokemon will be shiny, because every battle has a 1 in 8192 chance of being a shiny pokemon.
Your shinies may look pretty in the GBA games but when you put them onto colosseum or XD they will look different:

shiny Pokemon that are completely different colours then the 'normal' ones are noticable, like Dragonite is dark green instead of yellow, very noticable! Unlike Smeargle, who looks like the normal smeargle should look in the GBA games



Identifying a Shadow shiny​

Firstly when they are sent out two orange orbs will fly around them, not stars, as a shadow the shiny may be visable when you place it into the PC
The pokemon may a different colour, my flygon was manky yellow instead of green and green instead of blue, not a pretty sight.


Shadow Lugia​
The Shadow Lugia, very cool in colour but loads of people have been wondering what will it look like if it is shiny. Well I have come up with the conclusion that the Shadow Lugia will look normal in appearance until it is purified, then you will see the differenct in colour

Smeargle
Smeargle is one of the biggest problems for shinies in colosseum and XD.
In colosseum no matter what the smeargle with have a red tail, like the shiny form in the Game boy advance games, this is due to the fact that colosseum uses the same 'models' that the stadium games use. Smeargle has a green tail in colosseum and XD, if it is shiny it is a dark manky green tail

Unconfirmed information
this is for Information I have discovered but Do not know if it is true
the orbs on shiny shadows only appear the first time you send them out

Latest Update:
Picture of Shiny Smeargle
credit to ******* for hosting and credit to my friend for letting me take a picture of his Smeargle


FAQ:

Q: are shadow pokemon available in XD?
A: if not then why make this thread?

Special thanks:
ssw for the information about the PC
my freind for letting me use his smeargle as a 'model'
Coronis for allowing me to post this thread and for stickying it
My mum for buying the camera which I used
Me for being so helpful

So there really isn't much of a difference between shiny shadow Pokemon and normal Pokemon. That's gonna make it hard to identify them. Anyways, thank you for the heads up on Smeargle.

i wish i had a shiny pokemon... anyways JONNO.FRESH can you get a picture?

i had shinies in the 2nd generation, gyrados, hoot-hoot (by cheat) and cleffa. i used them all in stadium battles at least once. i used cleffa in the kid's club mini games before i notised it was shiny, it appears shiny in there too, but it dosent sparkle.

I'm guessing it's this

since it did fall into the same catagory I put it there, but I will make a new section with it in.

I have made a new paragraph about it and one about shadow Lugia

as well as special thanks
