I have played so many hours of Pokemon in Crystal, Ruby, Platinum, and Soulsilver, and guess what? I have never caught a shiny pokemon.
According to bulbapedia, the chance of getting a shiny pokemon is about 1/8000? Well, during the playthroughs I have probably seen thousands of wild pokemons already, and not a single shiny one.
On a different thought, the chance of winning the jackpot in a lottery is probably less than 1/8000. So, even if I start buying a lottery ticket every week, I probably won't live long enough to get the winning ticket.
I guess I will never be rich.

I think you can trigger one if you sell enough Stones of Jordan.

In emerald I saved right before Raquaza and reset for maybe 4 hours a day for a week to get a shiny, so I did Go for the shiny before the lottery, just be patient.

Why do you want a Sandshrew? It and Its evolved form, Sandslash, have very poor stats.
Maybe you want STAB on Earthquake? But I think there are many pokemon which is Ground type and has far superior stats.

Only shiny other than gyarados I've caught was a metapod and i didn't really feel like evolving him O.o
And I also have this sudden urge to play soul silver now

what the fuck is a shiny pokemon
|
I once saw a shiny meowth, but it somehow got away. It is in silver version...

Pokemon, both games and manga/anime, was good when there was only 151 of them.
More than 151 pokemon is BULLSHIT.
Red and Blue are the real games, the rest is BULLSHIT.

I kind of disagree. I played Gen1 before and I'd say it's really not that great. Heartgold and Soulsilver are very mature games, on the other hand.

Why not just RNG abuse to get one?
|
I got a shiny Unown, it was pretty awesome.
Also, I've caught a shiny Ponyta using the Pokeradar. Why don't you use that? It takes a little while, but it pretty much guarantees a shiny Pokemon over time if you're willing to work at it.

Pokeradar seriously increases the shiny chance?? But isn't it only in the D/P/P generation games?
|
i want to play pokemon so bad but my ds just broke cause i dropped it

Tried Pokeradar in Platinum (for hours) and got nothing..... Also Pokeradar is not in Soulsilver as far as I know.
