I remember WAYYYYY back in the day, before Gold and Silver came out in the US, a buddy of mine got a Japanese copy of Silver. It was surprisingly easy to follow. Anyway, red Gyrados blew our minds. We kept having to reset because we only had one pokeball and were so desperate to catch it. He was also the first person I knew to get all 150 on his red version with a little help from my blue version. Rumor was that Prof Oak would give you either a Mew or a "pikablu" (what we called Marill back then) for completing the pokedex.

I haven't gotten a single shiny in 10 years of playing pokemon. I'm living in Spain. But the S is silent. Edit: I finally got a shiny. It was a shiny Swanna. Through the ultra warp thing. UPDATE: I have about a dozen shiny pokemon on shield now. I grinded for the shiny charm, and now I've gotten a pretty good bit through Max raids.

[@joshuamahon260]

If you have the expansion, the rates of getting Shiny are so much higher now. If you do the ledgdary Raids, you have a 1 in 25 after you have the shiny charm "...every time a player completes a Dynamax Adventure, and if they catch all four Pokémon, they have a 1 in 75 (1 in 25 with Shiny Charm) chance to encounter a Shiny Pokémon." If you catch all of the pokemon in the raid(which are a guaranteed catch if you can defeat them) your odds increase by a huge amount. It definitely takes some work to get there, but the payoff is worth it imo.

Slight correction: in Gen 3, Wishmaker Jirachi has a slightly higher than average shiny rate (can't remember the exact number, but it's somewhere around 7400 I think) due to some strange quirks. That said, the resets for that Jirachi are painfully slow (~2 minutes each even with the newer slightly inconsistent method using save corruption, and I think like 6-8 minutes with the basic method of restarting the save file and playing up until the point you get the Pokedex). So even with the slightly higher odds, it's definitely not an easy shiny lol.

@@spiritedaway0tutu Are Pikachus really that rare in Viridian Forest? I ask cause in Heartgold (and by extention Soulsilver) that's all I encountered there. I don't recall what I was looking for (it was over ten years ago) but I remember never finding it because all I found were Pikachu...no I remember it was a light ball Pikachu. I wanted to breed for Pichu and needed a lightball which I did get.

[@mundodacrianca2147]

13:50 What I understand is that, in ORAS, shininess becomes more common as the search level increases. It's an extremely small percentage that may be much better than the full shiny odds, but will take a really long time to be any more effective than that. Using a rather complicated custom algorithm, it decides whether the pokemon will be forced to be shiny, slightly adjusted for every hundred or so search levels. All bonuses may and will stack.

@@ericdublinski3206 if you have an event active in your game and disconnect from the internet you can keep the event for as long as you want.

[@Mudkip971]

Shiny did not exist in Gen 1, Shiny Pokemon were determined by the IV spread. So basically a Pokemon could be Shiny in Gen 1 without you knowing about it. However any legal Mew from Gen 1 has a specific IV spread which makes it impossible for it to be Shiny. It's either glitched or hacked.

Been playing, pretty much all the main series games up to X and Y, and have yet to encounter a shiny again.

This video is more than 2 years old, but I wanted to note that the Shiny Charm was introduced in B2W2, being absent in BW, so the Masuda Method would be the only way to boost the shiny odds in those games

[@spacemonkey0809]

The first time I encountered a shiny Pokémon was way back when I was playing Fire Red on my GameBoy Advance SP. It was a shiny Poliwhirl I found in Seaform Islands. Back then I didn't know what a shiny was and I was like a bit confused why that had a different color and a star mark. I just left the battle only to realise that what I had experienced was a very rare encounter. On my second playthrough of the game I had an encounter with a shiny Spearow while I was running in a patch of grass near Cerulean City. Now this time I knew this was a special occasion because the Spearow was golden in color. I managed to catch it and I evolved it into a Fearow which looked pretty good in gold kind of like the one Ash Ketchum had which was a Shiny Noctowl.

15:14 I had to get on here and mention this story. When Michael mentioned the shiny odds during the wormhole mini game, I did not believe him. “I’ve done that mini game 1000 times” I thought, “there is no way that there is increased shiny odds. I was shiny hunting during Ultra Sun”. To prove him wrong, I pulled out my 3DS that took me an hour to recharge, download updates, and resemble a working team (I transferred most of my Pokémon out by this point). First attempt at doing the mini-game, I fly through a two ring wormhole and encounter a shiny grumpin. I named it Michelle after Michael because he rudely humbled me (the Grumpig is a female).
