Caught a Shiny on Emerald

[ZeWarrior]

Was playing Pokemon Emerald on my PSP (

) showing my friend some things, when I went to the grass and saw a Shiny Poochyena

I was with my lv 62 Raichu and a lv 57 Salamence and I didn't want to risk killing it (which was obviously what I was gonna do if I so much as breathed on it since it was only lv 3). Threw 2 Great Balls and caught it in the 2nd one

Here's the IVs and Nature. I used rare candies to get it to lv 50 so it wouldn't get random EVs.

This is my 2nd legit Shiny! (technically, the first one I caught since the 1st legit shiny I saw was on my Pokemon Sapphire Version like 6 years ago and I noticed it was funny but I think I either killed it or I just ran from it *see sig*)

Congratulations! Shiny Poochyenas are pretty cool.

Thats class,
Where did you get the table thing that shows the stats and details of your pokemon? Quality stuff.

I remember back in the day i had found 5 shiny Pokemon in Fire Red

a Machop, Zubat, Venonat, Magnemite and a Pidgy.

i had clocked so many hours into that game to come across all of them.

So, forgive my ignorance towards Pokemon. Never got into it... However, what's a Shiny? Are they super-rare? Is there anything really cool that comes with em? Or is it more of the bragging rights that you caught it more than being a useful combatant?

A Shiny is really rare in Pokemon games, the chance of seeing one is 1/8192. All they are is a Pokemon with a different color, in this case my Poochyena is yellow-ish. And yeah, they are mostly for bragging rights, even though nowadays everyone hacks Shinies.

Thats Serebii's IV Calculator. I had to manually input the stats @ lv 50 to find out the IVs.

Thats awesome!


On a sidenote, why is the multi-quote thing not working for me?

Heh thanks

And congrats on your find! (hey, even if people are hacking 'em, when you find em legit, that's badass

)

EDIT: Multiple quotes work fine on my end. I dunno :-\

All I'm supposed to do is click on +quote and after clicking on all the quotes, go to the last post's "quote post", right ?

I saw a Shiny Shinx in Platinum and
PKRS virus in Platinum too.

Wonder PKRS vs Shiny,
Which one more rare? I read from some net, they said PKRS is more rare. =P

Probability is the likeliness of an event happening, it does not dictate when it will happen or even that it will happen at all.

I got really friggin lucky in my LeafGreen cart. At the very beginning of the game when I was getting the usual Rattata+Pidgey combo I found and caught a Shiny Rattata (Golden Brown colour) had no idea what it was at the time. I also came across a Shiny Gyrados fishing once, couldn't catch though

When it was introduced, the Pokérus had a 3 in 65,536 chance to be on a wild Pokémon. Through battling or capturing this wild Pokémon, players could get this helpful virus onto their own Pokémon, and subsequently spread it around. Due to the overwhelmingly low chance of encountering the virus (about 1/3 of the chance to encounter a shiny Pokémon)

Nice! I remember my first shiny in emerald was geodude in the magma hideout. I was afraid it would use selfdestruct but I caught it with my first ultra ball! I remember my first shiny in general was a magnemite in fire red in the power plant. I was on my way to catch zapdos. Good times. Anyways, congrants!
