Artezza Magnus Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 (edited) I've read in the past that if you leave a pokemon too long in the gts it can disappear, but I always assumed it was just some sort of limitation with the system. The fact it appears to be a legitimate mechanic of the gts sounds rather annoying.

dotcom Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 So one of my friends has offered to give me a shiny Misdreavus. Which is basically the greatest thing that could ever happen.Buuuuut he has it in a Gen V game. So that's not great.Oh the terrible things that come from being so late to the Pokeymans.

Takanuinuva Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) They could always change No Guard so that OHKO moves aren't affected by that ability. Also I'm trying to find a Shiny Zubat. What game has the best chance of finding one. I have Emerald, Diamond, Platinum, White and Black 2I would guess Emerald since it has that cave near the trick masters house that only has Zubat in it.

Squishyfrog Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 it'd probably be best to try and trade for one from another country and then breed until you get a shiny AKA the Masuda Method which only works in Gen IV and V. you can find more information here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotcom Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 If what I've read is correct, you could also try to chain Zubats in the Gen IV games using the PokeRadar to drastically increase your chances.

Alyska Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 If you fill up your Pokedex in Black 2, you can get the Shiny Charm, which increases your chance of finding wild shinies, and also stacks with The Masuda Method.

~Takava Nirhii~ Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Hey, all. I'm extremely close to completing the National Dex on my three Generation IV games, but there remains one obstacle: Regigigas and the Regi trio. As such, I would really appreciate it if I could borrow either an event "fateful encounter" Regigigas, or the 3 Regis. Keep in mind, they have to be in a Generation IV game (Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, SoulSilver). As thanks, I can offer you one of the following from the GTS distro from forever ago (all have flawless (or at least very close) IVs and are untouched): Shiny Jolly Charmander (lv. 1)Shiny Impish Mudkip (lv. 1)Shiny Adamant Zangoose (lv. 1)Modest Mewtwo (lv. 70)Shiny Timid Kyogre (lv. 50)Shiny Timid Rayquaza (lv. 50)Shiny Modest Dialga w/ Adamant Orb (lv. 1)Shiny Timid Palkia w/ Lustrous Orb (lv. 1)Shiny Timid Darkrai (lv. 50) Thanks in advance!

Canis Lycaon Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) Yeah. In my White game, I caught two shinies, and had one of my Pokemon catch Pokerus. As for finding shinies in the wild, the best thing you can do is ... catch every single Pokemon that can be caught without using events and trading it to Black 2 or White 2. Then you'll get an in game object that triples your chances of getting a shiny. But, you can breed shinies using the Masuda method. If both Pokemon are from different countries, they are more likely to breed a shiny. Couple that with doing the above, and you are very likely to get a shiny.

dotcom Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Actually, Reshiram and Zekrom are programmed to never be shiny, so no don't do that. Also it's just a generally terrible and wasteful idea.
