Things that never happened, episode 924518476.
idk what the odds are, but I used scald 16 times in a match without getting a burn. I know it's a scummy move and i deserve it and it's not necessarily lucky at all but i'd love to know the odds
>>27833882
Do you really think someone would do that, just go on the internet and tell lies?
>>27834446
not that anon, but to be fair, it could be hacked and there's not way to really prove it isn'ti'll believe you anyways desu
>>27834496
Thanks.

Thats not possible fucking tripfag, yveltal is shiny locked
>>27835227
glad you didn't spend too much time on it since they just gave shiny yvetals away about two months ago.i missed my chance to get one
>>27833108
I hack all the time, but I believe you.
>>27835748
while i missed yvetal i did get two shiny xerneas from the event before the yvetal one

I really wanted a female starter and my sister got one on her second game. I was so jealous. She hardly plays and also found more Shinies than me. I think she found 2 and I only found 1.
>>27835820
i hate when i want a female starter, that constant restarting for a female at the beginning of the fucking game is fucking ridiculous
Wanted to breed a Feebas for good IVs. First time I bred for IVs. First egg: shiny Feebas. Needless to say, never been any luckier than that.
>>27835227
yveltal and xerneas are shiny locked you fucking retard. I hate tripfags
>>27835925
if true, lucky shit, shiny miltotic is one of the best shinies you can get
>>27833991
Scald has 30% chance to burn. So you had 70% chance to not burn, or 0.7 if you consider 1 to be 100%. In a binomial distribution (think coin flips), the chance of getting an outcome X times in a row is the number of times to the power of X.
0.7 to the power of 16 is about 0.003, or a 0.3% chance of occuring. So that's pretty unlucky.
The more you know.

My sister got a shiny modest Ralts on her first egg in diamond.
She has 15-20 other shinies, all found randomly in the span of a year or so.
