Ruining a Shiny

S.H.R here. This is a sad tale about a shiny Zubat. I believe I was playing through either Pearl or Platinum when I encountered a shiny Zubat. It was my first shiny. Naturally, I was in shock of finally encountering a shiny. After I caught it I did something I'm not proud of. You see, Alex and I used to have Action Replays. We used them mainly for Rare Candies. I beefed up my Zubat to Lv. 100 almost immediately. About a year later, when I finally stopped hacking and wiped my games of all the hacks, I just couldn't let go of my Crobat, even though it was pink. I then had idea. After about a day on the GTS, I had a shiny Manaphy.

P.S
To all hackers out there, Rare Candies don't give Pokemon Effort Points, making them considerably weaker than normal.

Shiny Kakuna

S.H.R speaking. Pokemon FireRed seems to be a shiny central for me. On one of my many, many, playthroughs, I encountered a shiny Kakuna in Viridian Forest. Followed by screaming and about 3 Pokeballs I caught it. I then immediately transferred it to Pokemon Diamond, then to Black, and finally White. I used it on my team until I needed to make room for a Flying type. Thank God I encountered a shiny Kakuna and not a shiny Caterpie. I hate Butterfrees.

Negotiation Skills

Hey it's Alex talking about the other shiny I got, a Lv. 32 shiny Druddigon that seems legit. So earlier I got a hacked Lv. 100 shiny Delibird for my Blissey. I soon found a guy who really liked it and I got the Druddigon and it seems legit since it was caught at Dragonspiral Tower. That's it but I'm going to tell you a effective way to get shinies.

1. Get some starters from a friend and level them up, as long as you don't hack you can possibly get some legendaries, most likely Reshiram or Zekrom.

2. Get some other legendaries (Ex. Ho-oh, Lugia, Latios, Latias).

3.Offer them and see if you can get a shiny!

Another Shiny

Hey it's Alex telling you about my last shiny I got a shiny Lucario! I was looking for shinies on GTS when i met a guy with a Lv. 100 LEGIT Lucario! I showed him many Pokemon but he wouldn't budge until I gave him my Lv. 84 Ho-oh that I got in trade. Lucario is legit since it was caught in Challenger's Cave at Lv. 50, and after a bit of research I found out you can catch Riolus in the cave. So I just got myself another legit shiny.

Masuda Method

Hello, it's Riley. Today I will tell you about the Masuda Method. It is called the Masuda Method because it was programmed in Gen. IV and V by Junichi Masuda. It raises the chances of getting a Shiny from 1/8192 to 1/1639 in Gen. IV and 1/1366 in Gen. V. You have to make two Pokemon breed together from two different languages to increase the chances.

Shiny Eevee

Hello, Riley here typing yet another post on a Shiny. My newest Shiny I have found is a Masuda Method Shiny Eevee. It took me a lucky 334 eggs. I hatched it on route 3. Again, lots of screaming occurred. It had a modest nature so I evolved it into a Espeon. It is pretty low-level and I have decided to use on my team for Pokemon Black Version 2.

Hacked Pokemon

If in Master Ball, It is a hacked Pokemon,
 same for all Shiny starters.
Hey it's Alex and I'm talking about hacked Pokemon. Everyone knows what a hack is, it's a Pokemon caught by cheating (Ex. Action Replay). On the GTS, there are times when people have tons of Shinies like Shiny Charizards caught in Master Balls. In fact, during the Shiny marathon Riley and I met a guy with a Shiny Reshiram! Whatever you do, don't trade your shiny to them! You will get ripped off and find yourself with a hack that will mess up your game, leaving you to release it. Riley and I got lucky on the Shiny marathon, and we got rid of all our hacks on GTS Negotiations, but don't even risk trying to get a hack. If you meet a hacker, exit the trade immediately! Hacked Shinies are no good, so don't even consider getting one, and if you become a hacker, STOP IMMEDIATELY! No one likes a hacker, and you'll be the guy who took the easy path, not the guy who actually has a Shiny Pokemon to be proud of.
