Teleport bypasses Mean Look, you imbecile

>>25091329
No, it doesn't.

You should probably make sure you're correct before you go around insulting people, imbecile.

>>25091371
Yes, it does. Stop playing Gen 2.

I have never seen a shiny except the one that I got from chain fishing, which doesn't even count because it felt like cheating

>>25091777
Nice trips,
But dind op say he started a new file?
I dont think you can get a quickball this early

I saw shiny smeargle and accidentally switched to my false-swiper on the first turn.

Had to race against time so it wouldn't struggle itself to death

I got it.

>>25091300
Damn, OP I would cry. So sorry to hear man.

It's got a shit nature and one IV at 0 but he'll always be my little nigga. I transferred him all the way into gen 6 too.

I also found a shiny Poochyena in some rom hack before I had any pokeballs but I didn't feel too bad since it was just a rom.

Anon, I hate Pomf as much as the next guy, but Serebii doesn't have detailed move mechanics on his site except for a handful of specific moves. In fact I'd argue the move and ability pages are just about the only thing Bulbapedo is good for.

I mean I still used it but that was just soul crushing.

when I played Gen 5, Bianca ran into a shiny Purrloin and caught it

nothing will ever top playing Crystal as a kid: shiny Caterpie on my way to Mr. Pokemon's house to get the Egg and shiny Sentret when being taught to catch Pokemon

>>25091300

I'm not, nor was I ever, a Gardevoirfag but maaannn, Ralts line is about the only good shinies from Gen 3 (fug is great too). M-Gardevoir is GOAT shiny.

Too bad I couldnt use it due to the challenge rules. Still have it on the white 2 cart.

Was playing Platinum, wanted a Cyndaquil, had an Action Replay. Turned on the Pokemon Modifier code, and what the hell, put the always shiny code on too.

Run into a Cyndaquil and... it wasn't shiny. I ran into a Pokemon that would have been shiny if I wasn't cheating. Still wouldn't have been legit since it was a wild Cyndaquil and all, but fuck I still think about it to this day

On the opposite side, disregarding Chain Fishing, I've caught a Ponyta and Starly in Diamond, Articuno in Heart Gold after deciding Soft Resetting for an entire week was a good idea, Solosis in White and Trevenant in Y.

>>25095220
Emerald's problem/benefit is that it didn't have actual RNG, and could easily be exploited to guarantee Perfect IV and/or Shiny Pokemon via Eggs and Wilds if you knew what you were doing.

Tried breeding a Walrein to go with my gen 3 Pokemon in Y.

I kept getting the wrong IVs, but eventually I got a shiny. The color wasn't too bad, but purple isn't my favorite color. I recently swapped it for a new shiny.

Shit, nigga you're still on that?

They made a little mistake and now everything they say is unbelievable?

Only shinies I've ever gotten outside of trades or in-game events were a rattata and a zubat. Rattata was in my copy of soul silver which later shit the bed and no longer works, while the zubat was in a romhack. I just have shit luck with shinies.

Meanwhile I have friends who've gotten a shiny houndour, a charmander, and a boldore, along with a few others that I can't remember, but they sure as hell were a sight better than a rattata and a zubat.

i've been playing pokemon since gen 2 and the only shiny pokemon i've found at complete random was a finneon in OR

I got over it pretty quick, didn't know exactly how rare they could be. To this day it's the only shiny I've ever encountered.

>>25101436
How the fuck did it get burned

>>25104645
I should've explained, that's my fault. The only Mon I had on me was a Fletchinder with Flame Body. The ShineShrew hit it.

He probably had a Flame Body Pokemon out front. The same thing happened to me with a horde of Scraggy. I didn't care and was gonna just kill it with my Talonflame, the Shiny Scraggy got burned but had Shed Skin so it healed itself. I thought "Fuck it, if you wanna get caught so bad, fine." and just caught the thing.
