surefire
shinyYou do know that outside of the Red Gyarados, these 2 words are almost like a contradiction, right?
That said, I can get a shiny for you as long as you give me a clock that has a milliseconds counter :>

Muahahaha! I can always check eBay or Amazon for one of those clocks for you.Zekira wrote:

I have one back at home, but I won't be at home until May 21 lol. Using that clock and some other methods I can get shinies 'surefire' ly.

There is a surefire way, but it requires the ability to trade. And one of the other Gen 4 titles.
It's the good ol' Pokeradar trick on D/P/Pt. Look for something you want and then just use this trick. It requires patience, but oh well, it's a shiny.
I swear, we should just have a general thread for this stuff.

And now we do.
Lovely.

Currently, in the middle of coming up with a new stall team for SoulSilver using various resources. Once I get a hold of my DS again, I'll post my Pearl, Platinum, and SoulSilver codes.

It's the good ol' Pokeradar trick on D/P/Pt.That's not surefire at all: you can only boost it up to 0.5% chance...
Eh, I guess I'm just lucky with it. It's still a boosted chance, though, which is better than nothing.Zekira wrote:

Well, a 1 in 200 chance is a helluva lot better than a 1 in 8192 chance.
I have no problems chaining to 40 and harvesting a crop of shinies in the same day.
It's cheap, yes, but not nearly as cheap as exploiting loopholes in the game's random number calculation. Crypto-RNG for Black & White plz, and bring back an input-time seeded component.
Call me a scrub for wanting to find my shinies without any prior knowledge of the machine state, but I prefer working for them.

I only RNG if I really like the Pokémon. If not then I just RNG the IVs if I'm going to use them for battle
I don't bother with RNG abuse, probably because it goes right over my head, but I haven't spent much time dealing with it. Doing things legit feels more rewarding, anyway.
After looking into this for awhile, I've fallen head over heels for Clefable. A non-OU Pokemon with the ability to be absolutely unpredictable? It even gets Aromatherapy now. I love fucking with the enemy's head, and there are too many directions Clefable can go in.
if it's not obvious by now, I don't like using tier lists strictly sans not using Ubers; I tend to battle using what I feel like, and then using logic to make everything mesh. Double battles only, too

It even gets Aromatherapy nowWait what. Since HGSS? Seriously?
I should start making another Clefable then...
Yep, it does. Clefable definitely deserves it, too.Zekira wrote:

It's like Blissey that went on a diet, only this time you can keep it in even Toxic'd <3 (don't get me wrong, I don't like Blissey)
I fail really badly at double battles. I sort of loosely follow tiers, but if I hate something, I won't use it. And I use a choice specs shiny Seviper in my OU team, because I'm cool like that.
I hate Blissey really bad, so this new Clefable development could prove useful...

I only read Smogon for the articles.Zekira wrote:

Besides, I despise the Chansey line and have been using Clefable on almost every team I've used since Gen 1. I'm happy to see this development.
I... don't even go there anymore lol.Mogsworth wrote:

Hm...What's the chance of someone having and LOSING a pink Crobat? Because I've done it...I still can't find that Emerald Version...Oh! Does anyone have a spare Master Ball? I'm having trouble capturing Entei...>_<;
I found a shiny Misdreavus the other day.
Oh yeah, it was in the Safari Zone.
And yeah, it ran away.
Rage ensued.

So the average number of steps a user should take on their pokéwalker per day is 10000. The most I've ever managed to do so far is 8000.
I forsee cardiovascular trouble in my future.

And to unlock every course you'll have to take 200 days of those 10000 steps. Lol.
I found a shiny MisdreavusThis is one of the most rageful events. Seriously. I've had this with a Dratini once, but I fortunately caught it...

Fuchsia (violet? Red? red violet?) orzviously, there's no other shiny Dratini other than that
I recall finding a purple Wailmer in Ruby. Did I have any pokéballs at the time? Of course not; I was Thiefing for Heart Scales orz
I have never encountered a Shiny Pokemon other than that Gyrados

Recently traded my shiny Carnivine over GTS for a female Cyndaquil. I'd rather have GTS-bait than that disgusting thing.

To be honest...That was a stupid move. I'd have traded one of my two Shiny Gyarados for it.Mogsworth wrote:

Not necessarily a stupid move if I hate the thing and can only gain from my move.
Also, I feel like the contests are appealing more and more to me. A different way of approaching the game? I can dig it.

So this guy approached me while I was playing SS.
He challenged me to a battle.
Is it weird to suddenly get approached and asked to battle by complete strangers?
PS: He was I think over 30?

Isn't it technically the same thing just by going to some random Pokaymanz site and asking for friend codes to battle?NoHItter wrote:

I've had some people challenge me to Mario Kart DS IRL before. Had fun with those guys.
I encountered a shiny Houndour and you know what I mean orz
Besides, why would you want to get one, they aren't any different from regulars when it comes to playing.NoHItter wrote:

@NH: Not really? I think some guys over at PKMN-ph (http://www.pkmn-ph.com), including me, had experiences like that. Of course I totally owned strangers with my favorite team lol (not saying what it is).
they're rarer?rust45 wrote:

when it comes to playingYeah rust45 you have to be more specific and say that the difference is nothing in-battle. 'Playing' generally refers to the entire game, lol, and thus NoHItter's answer is correct
They're pretty? Well, some are, anyway. It's also fun to use something unique that most others don't have.
They're pretty?Shiny Milotic ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
They're like TF2's hats! They indicate you've been around the game for a long time. Usually.

I stand corrected, but I really don't want to make a big deal about shiny pokemon, if I saw one, sure I would try to catch it, but I wouldn't go out of my way unless I really wanted it for whatever reason.Zekira wrote:
