Yeah I prefer Slowbro but whatever, all awesome. My brother has a Pokemon movie on VHS with Slowking in it, and he speaks English. It's crazy.

I'm sure he's someone's favorite!

If you're talking about Sneasel, I have a shiny one.

Yeah, mine. That's about it

Nah we were talkin about Ampharos. I don't really care for shiny Sneasel.

I figured! Well my favorite is Oddish that's a pretty uncommon choice :p

Like the fact that you can't walk around trees.

Neither do I. But I had doubles of the same nature of bad shiny eevee.

That is. I don't know of anyone else with that one. One of the most random I've heard is Nidorino.

Gotcha, you can probably swap the Sneasel for something else eventually.

That is kinda random, although I used to love the original Nidorino trading card, and he actually is kinda cool. Especially compared to Nidorina, ick.

Don't worry about the inconsistencies. You'll just be upset.

Yeah, but my wifi is down.

Yeah, that's true. And he's purple. Purple pokemon are generally awesome.

They're more fun to laugh at than anything. The only ones I am a bit mad about are some of the movepool choices. e.g. Bronzong doesn't get Heal Bell even though he IS a Bell, and Rhyperior gets Surf even though he is a giant piece of Rock that hates Water.

I haven't had Wifi this week either, housesitting for my parents. It's been a bummer, I'm gonna have so much crap to trade/IV battle next week.

Not sure if it's actually gonna happen, but I'm supposed to be in a monotype tourney and my color is Purple. There are some good choices, but it has been hard to make a whole team. We are allowing shinies that are the color as well, but nearly every Purple shiny is a Water type so that doesn't help much (I'm going to use Kingdra I think).

I've been having fairly decent luck this week, also have gotten Calm Piplup and Modest Slowpoke done.

How do you breed shinys? They look really cool and once I get through the game it'll be something to occupy my time.

I use the RNG to find frames that will result in shiny eggs of the nature I am interested in, then I soft reset for good IVs after the egg is made. The directions are on Smogon and are pretty straightforward once you have your Secret ID. Your Secret ID is a hidden value that makes a pair with your ID number and is what determines which frames on your game will be shiny.

Finding your SID is the tricky part of making shinies. There are several ways to do it. If you have caught a random shiny in that game, you can actually calculate your SID by hand using the information about that Pokemon. If you have caught at least 3-4 chained shiny Pokemon, you can do the same thing, although I would recommend using a Program instead of doing it by hand. Finally, if you (like me) have absolutely no luck with shinies whatsoever, someone who has an Action Replay or access to Pokesav can find your SID if you trade them a Pokemon from your game card.

Just contact me when you finish your game and want to try this, and I'll see what I can do. I can't help you find your SID if you have no shinies on the game card since I don't have an Action Replay, but I do know of some people who can.

What is SR'ing and how do you do it?

Soft Resetting. Basically you save in front of whatever you are going for e.g. a legend or an egg and then just battle and catch legend/pick up egg, check, reset until you get what you want. Not very scientific :]

Oh okay. Simple enough.
