How much effort are you putting into it?

People like you re the reason I feel awful accidently hatching 3 shinies in the same month.

>>33278804
Well obviously you can't expect to see your first shiny in just one year.

>>33278827
*are

>>33278804
So you always killed the red gyarados?

>>33278811
A whole new level of autism right there.

>>33278804
How old are you, OP? You'll find your non-Gyarados shiny eventually or download it during some event.

>>33278883
This they pretty much just give them away now hell it's gotten easier to obtain them through hatching or chaining now then back then.

>>33278804
Shit you not. Caught 10 shiny mime jrs last week looking for a shiny roggenrola. You just have to be patient if you go shiny hunting. Do one of the Gen 6 methods. Fishing, hording, etc. Your bound to find one if you sit down and try one of these. Good luck.

Reminds me of the time I was searching for a shiny Yanma. Five fucking ugly-ass yellow Nosepass.

I caught 2 wild shiny Granbulls this month...I dont even like Granbulls.

Don't worry, with GS VC coming out you'll be able to hatch 1/64 shinies easily, no hacking or cheating involved.
Shiny Dittos in GS spawn eggs that have a ridiculously high 1/64 chance of hatching a shiny, and you can get a shiny Ditto by owning both a gen 2 and a gen 1 game and using the time capsule to transfer Pokemon back and forth. You basically turn the shiny Red Gyarados into a shiny Ditto by abusing Mimic, it basically changes species but retains shininess.

Gen 2 3IV HA shinies out the wazoo soon.

>has been playing Pokemon for seven years
>still hasn't caught a shiny
For shame.

>>33279118
A correction, you don't turn the gyarados into a ditto, you make a ditto copy him and then capture the ditto, which is shiny when transfered to GS.

Pretty neat.

>>33279118
The high rate is kind of offset by how horrendously tedious getting and hatching eggs is in gen 2 though.

If they hadn't improved breeding routes in every subsequent generation I'd swear they fucked it up in gen 2 on purpose to make breeding harder.

Just go chain fishing under the Feebas bridge in ORAS, anon. I got three shinies in 60 attempts.

Same. I encountered a shiny once but my stupid ass killed it

>>33278828
Definitely not a year since you can get one every 10 minutes or so. Half an hour at the worst.

Gen 5 RNG is easy as fuck and you get exactly what you want out of it.

People like you and me, we just have to breed for our shinies

I've been playing since Crystal on the Game Boy, and I was able to catch my first shiny (a Magby) in SuMo. It was a bitch to get, but I got it in the end. You can catch one, I believe in you!

>>33279341
Shit, you are right. I just realized that most of my breeding in gen 2 was done in the Stadium 2 GB tower using the 3x speed option. No such thing in the 3ds version I presume.

>>33278804
geez run around in the friend safari for a few hours watching a movie or something. or chain fish, that like garantuees you a shiny after an hour.

>>33278804
I've been breeding for a Shiny Charmander in every game since January of 2002. I've hatched 3 Shiny Eevees, a Zubat, and a Growlithe while passing down egg moves but never a Charmander.

I've injected some since but after 15 years I want to hatch one on principle.
