Nobody Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Gen IV brought a relative easy way of getting shiny pokemon, the pokeradar. I abused that on diamond and got like 10 shiny pokemon. The pokeradar is back this time, but it's not actually the easiest way to get shiny pokemon anymore. Gamefreak introduced the fishing chain, in which you have to use the rod many times, without missing the "!", and always encountering a pokemon. There's this guide on gamefaqs that explain how it works: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/696959-pokemon-x/67572859 I already got two shiny staryus and one shiny clauncher.

Junk Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 well i will admit i am a bit sad that it is easier to get shinies. they are not as special anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLeafeon Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 It's not that easy for me. I spent the past couple of hours chain fishing and got nothing. I had a chain of 27, and it broke because I reeled in too late. (Which you only seem to have half a second to respond. My reflexes aren't that bad, but they're not great either.)

Crimson Red Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Sounds like more pain than it's worth, I'd rather just chill, but that's just kinda me as a gamer in general lol, I can't be bothered to be a tryhard/putting in effort to do extra things isn't my thing unless the benefit is super amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fruity Insanity Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) I already got two shiny staryus and one shiny clauncher. I want one. No seriously, I want one. Edited October 24, 2013 by Fruity Insanity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I went Luvdisc fishing for Heart Scale thievery. Got a nice 11 string, no shiny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 11 is still too low. I found my shinies around 30. Make sure to use a pokemon with either stick hold or suction caps as ability, they make chaining way easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLeafeon Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Found a shiny clauncher at a chain of 35. Too bad I was aiming for a staryu. -_- (I found out I'm better responding to the "DING" sound than to the !! popping up, lol.) Then I had a chain of 45 break when nothing appeared. well i will admit i am a bit sad that it is easier to get shinies. they are not as special anymore I see your point, but for people like me who almost never see a shiny (I've encountered pokerus more often than shinies, and it's supposed to be rarer. -_-) It's a godsend. I really hate it when all my friends have numerous shinies across all their games and I'm like "I caught a shiny fearow in FR. :D " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
