It was so amazing and lucky! I was exploring around the Survival Area on Route 226, when I thought I'd go fishing for some Gyarados and Seadra, so I go to the nearest source of water.

The first pokemon I got was a lvl 37 male Seadra (which I caught), then a lvl 32 Seadra. I then reeled in a Gyarados and another Seadra. I then swung out my Super Rod again and guess what I reeled in? A Shiny Seadra! (lvl 32 male) I couldn't believe my luck! I'd only found three of these pokemon before and I hadn't even used the Pokeradar!

I was so happy that my first Shiny happened to be from fishing, I doubt that happens much. Also, I don't really do well with the radar anyway, my highest chain is 25 Ponyta. I suppose I haven't had it that long, but I'm improving. Anyway, I'll go and see if I can find any more beautiful Shinies!

The only shiny pokemon I faced against was three in Sapphire, and one of them got away.

I'm assuming you're talking about D/P, so I guess you were really lucky.

That's really lucky! Congrats! Hope you catch more and keep posting when you catch more saying which pokemon it was. And again congrats!

what pokeradar?
Posted Jul 4, 2008 4:00 pm PT
It's a device in Diamond and Pearl that allows you to find a patch of grass with a pokemon in it. Once you've encontered the pokemon in that patch of grass, you have to either knock it out or catch it. After that, more patches of grass shake. You have to find the same pokemon to continue a chain. The longer the chain, the greater the chance of a shiny pokemon appearing. What was unusual about my first shiny catch was that I didn't have a chain going before I found my shiny Seadra, and because I was fishing (which is even more unlikely for a shiny to appear).
That's pretty much it.

I'm slowly looking for a Shiny Gyarados. Incredibly rare, but worth the effort.

Augh, lucky! DX I've never seen or caught one...but that's probably because I hardly even play the game >_>;

Congrats! ^_^

damn ur lucky......I never got found one

Cheers. I'm now breeding my Seadra with a ditto to try and get some shiny Horsea, so far I've hatched two normal Horsea, I'm half way to hatching a third egg and they've produced another one aswell. Hopefully I'll get one soon, then I could either keep it or trade it.

Cool congrats I never caught a shiny pokemon.
Posted Jul 5, 2008 3:20 pm PT
lol my only shiny pokemon is a shiny unown >_>
Posted Jul 6, 2008 2:01 pm PT
cornish even when u breed shinies the probability and possibility of the offspring being shiny is the same as finding a shiny pokemon in the wild: 1/1000
Posted Jul 6, 2008 4:54 pm PT
Awesome. So far in my game, Ive found two random shinies. BTW, If you want a shiny nosepass, just give me your friend code.
Posted Jul 6, 2008 6:00 pm PT
My FC is at the top of my blog. I don't mind the odds of getting a shiny while breeding. I was lucky enough to find that Seadra, so luck might procure a shiny Horsea.

Congrats! Maybe we should register codes and battle or trade. I have many evee eggs that i gotta get rid of.
Posted Jul 7, 2008 12:11 pm PT
That's a good Idea, but I have caught seven Eevee in the Trophy Garden, I don't need any more.
Posted Jul 7, 2008 2:18 pm PT
nice job dude i still haven't caught one of my own
Posted Jul 9, 2008 3:48 am PT
Ok my code is 4210 0712 2608. And my brawl code for you is still pending. I have u registered as UNMEI right???
Posted Jul 9, 2008 7:08 pm PT
Congrats! You know that you can't even use the PokeRadar in water. Only in grass. In my brother's Pearl I caught a Shiny Golbat at Lvl 46 (Male) in Mt. Coronet before the Elite Four.
Posted Jul 9, 2008 9:09 pm PT
Yeah, I know. Which is what makes it even more unexpected and lucky.
Yeah, I'm UNMEI on Brawl, also be aware that my brother plays too, and he likes to Brawl online aswell.

The chances of finding a Shiny Pokemon are 1/8192.
