Would this work?

[hmmm]

Well, the odds of finding a shiney pokemon is about 1 in 3000 and something. Im not to sure...someone please post the exact number please.
Anyways, would it be a waste of time to save infront on a legendary, say Rayquaza, and re-load the game until when i fight him he is shiney? or are all legendaries non-shiney?

1 in 1893 chance, i believe.

Legendaries come shiny.

Its not a waste. U might get a shiny eventually but it can take like a minute. Orit can take freaking forever. For me I just plain don't care.

 

[hmmm]

yah, i think they are a waste, but legendaries would actually be the easiest i think cause its not like you will waste your time finding gulpin when you want an electrike!
and thanks, this may be closed

The chances of encountering a shiny 1 in 8,192.
It is a waste of time, I wouldn't recommend doing to soft-rest just to get a shiny.

 

[dude man]

I dont think that saving and tryin aain will make it shiny

I dont think that saving and tryin aain will make it shiny

If you reset the game then it can be shiny (a 1 in 1892 chance iirc).

I reset the game to get Adamant Groudons and stuff, however, i dont think its worth the effort for a shiny.

it will take forever to resert to find a shiny... just be happy if you get one
