Re: Shiny Pokemon with the Pokeradar

Is it possible that if I keep on soft resetting that I can end up with a shiny rotom?

Re: Shiny Pokemon with the Pokeradar

Erm..run around in the grass method ^_^;;; I really want one, though, and I want to play through Platinum without importing anything, so...if I want a shiny blue Shellos, I'll just have to test my luck. I'm probably going to need to level grind, anyway.

Yeah, I understand that. I actually don't know why people do that (import an entire team over)... to me, it defeats the purpose of the game. I guess it's just our personal preference. Well, good luck!

Im trying again....
I released my hacked omastar since I think thats what caused the freeze.
Shiny Cubone I'm on da way =]

That really sucks... if it makes you feel any better, shiny Cubone hates me too. I've never even been able to chain them to 40, for some reason (I gave up a while ago... maybe I should try again next time they swarm).

Is it possible that if I keep on soft resetting that I can end up with a shiny rotom?

Yes.

Well, I just got the Pokeradar and the chain app in Platinum. I'll have to trade some synchers and a false swiper over or something. I can't wait to chain, although I probably will wait until after this week, when I have spring break. Unless I feel like slacking off. :p

Depends how you do it I guess, Dukeburger. I had a bunch of shinies waiting for Platinum. My Starting team was:

Shiny Yanma
Shiny Turtwig
Shiny Elekid (Adamant)
Shiny Larvitar
Shiny Feebas (Bold)
Shiny Larvitar

Back-ups:
Shiny Bulbasaur
Shiny Aerodactyl
Shiny Riolu


All were Lv 1 except for the Larvitar, which was Lv 6. I'm at 7 badges and the Elekid is now a brutish Electivire, the Feebas is a Milotic with Ice Beam, the Bulbasaur is Lv 34 and almost knows Seed Bomb, the Yanma is a Yanmega with Hypnosis and Aerial Ace...soon to learn Dream Eater...

Anyway, I haven't caught much in the game, but have still enjoyed it. I don't consider this cheating as I started with low level pokemon like the game engineers. It's added a new flavor. Just like starting with all eevees and playing with an eeveelution team did for Pearl after I'd already played Diamond. Although I must say, I ended up hating my eeveelutions by the time I had my 4th badge and could control them. They started out at a litte too high a level (Lv 16, I believe) and just totally ignored and disobeyed me for the beginning of the game. I wanted to give them all good spankings, and I was never once spanked in my life!

... what??! Where did you get all of those non-chainable shinies? I guess part of my astonishment comes from the fact that you don't seem like the type of person who would have ARed them, or have someone AR them for you. I'm especially envious of Aerodactyl... it's one of my most wanted shinies, but I'll probably never get one because I don't want to SR for months.

By the way, I don't really think that importing Pokemon over is cheating. That's why I mentioned that not doing so is just a personal preference. I just like the challenge of playing with what the game gives me. I feel like there's not as much strategy involved if I just import over a pre-determined team that will get me through the game smoothly, not to mention earn extra experience.

WOW, page 300!! Has this thread grown...I remember posting on page 60 or something...I feel old... :D

Anyway Dukeburger, I got them all by trading my pokeradar shinies. All are legit and most uncloned (I make them name them before trading to me, to improve those odds), hatched from eggs, hence the Lv 1 stage. Plus, I think if you start with Lv 1's, there's no advantage to the imported team, it's just the fun of playing with pokemon I like early on rather than having to play so much of the game with bidoofs and starlies, etc. I always hated how I had to wait until the game was basically over to get the pokemon I really liked! This way, I get the fun of playing and battling with them in battles that count...plus, they all sparkle when they pop out of their pokeballs!

Re: Shiny Pokemon with the Pokeradar

chaining in platinum is the reverse because normal patches are the easiest to identify, and brighter patches are confusing with their bright glow especailly in daylight. the patches shake now
and actually are stress free when chaining.I paln on chaining croagunk,but they are 10% hi!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Shiny Pokemon with the Pokeradar

I have a hugggge accomplishment that I would like to share with everyone.. other than my shiny arbok, butterfree, ampharos, turtwig, and ponyta, on behalf of soft resetting after 224 long resets I managed to capture and come in contact with a SHINY ROTOM!

Re: Shiny Pokemon with the Pokeradar

It's been a while since I last chained anything, but on Saturday I got a shiny Shinx on a chain of 41 and last night and this morning got 5 shiny Pachirisu on a chain of 84.

I'm planning on going after Croagunk too... how'd you find out the appearance rates for Platinum?

Wow... congrats! I'm so envious that I have no luck whatsoever when it comes to randomness in the games. I would hardly call 224 resets long. :p I actually think I want to try SRing for a shiny Palkia, but I know it'll take me like 5 months or something. :/ By the way, how did you keep track of your resets? I see myself losing track very quickly.

I agree with you Dukeburger...I've tried soft-resetting and given up after a few hundred times thinking I could be at this for ages. Rotom's cool though as you get several different shinies from one, right? Still, I like the non-shiny colors better, but at least you get the satisfying ping when it pops out of the ball.

Nice going ShinyHunter, I'm really happy for you!!!!

EeveeBreeder, I haven't earned my poke'radar in Platinum yet, so can't comment on chaining in the game...yet. On the upside, my bulbasaur learned seed bomb and is now a shiny Venusaur, and my shiny Yanmega now knows hypnosis and dream eater. I love destrying Machokes with her!

Thanks so much dukeburger! I actually was sitting on the computer and on Microsoft Word I typed in a character for every time I reset. After I got the Shiny Rotom, I pressed "word count" and it showed me how many characters I had: 224. I bet you could do it too without losing track :) It just takes a while....

Re: Shiny Pokemon with the Pokeradar

Isn't this thread about shiny pokemon caught with the PokeRadar? There should be no discussion of shinies outside that here.

Yes, and that is mostly what's discussed. Sometimes people who frequently post here get a bit off-topic, I guess because we're all familiar with each other, and no one seems to mind. *shrug*

Agreed. I can't remember how many times I got off-topic here. *shrug more*

Umm...if we stayed on topic all the time....there'd be a lot fewer posts! As long as we're talking shinies and keep coming back to pokeradar shinies, and everyone gets their questions answered, I'm OK with mission drift! :D
