Congrats on the Linoone, but I don't think this is the right topic to talk about it :/

No luck on this evil Omanyte.


Yeah i know, srry bout that.


I've heard that the lower your ID nr is, the higher your chance is to encounter a shiny, is this true?

I've found several shinies through hours of searching, mainly during EV training. For me, whenver I spend 3-5 hours in an area, I encounter a shiny Pokémon.

I have quick question..I asked it another thread but it got locked.

When trying to hatch a shiny. Do I save before I talk to the man..get the egg and then hatch and reset until i get a shiny one...?

or do I keep receiving eggs...without reseting until I find a shiny?

Nothing of interest.
Well, I am trying to find a shiny Abra and Charmander. I have been searching for a while, but I won't give up. I think that I'll look for shiny Yanma as well.

Yes, I like Snubbull
Still shiniless. I'm starting to think I should just give up and go for a shiny abra... or maybe go for something more rare like Porygon!

I don't think so, my friend. On topic: I am currently SRing for a shiny treecko.

no they dont every pokemon has a diferent amount of time to hatch
so if you had a shiny ponita egg and a normal ponita egg it would take the same time also the chances of have a shiny egg are like around 8000 to 1
