When gold and silver came out, and before I knew there were shinies (hadn't made it to Lake of rage yet) I traded over my charizard from red version. It ended up being shiny. As a 7 year old, i was so confused. I still have it.

Manaphy was one of the few mythical Pokémon I obtained legitimately as a kid. My cousin and I would play together, he was essentially my real life ‘rival’ lol. Anyways when he found out I got a manaphy he wanted one too, so I tried breeding them (being kid me trying to breed mythics) and it actually worked.. only Phione came out. In the end we both got new pokemon

When you think about it shiny spinda is basically an NFT - a digital object which is made exceedingly rare through artificial means and holds value only to those who have a specific interest/delusion.

If anyone here’s ever really going to try and shiny hunt an authentic Sinistea and you’re worried about it taking itself out with Memento, use Gardevoir. You can teach it Memento and Imprison to prevent Sinistea from using its own Memento and then paralyze it with Thunder Wave. Polteageist has Imprison, too, but not T Wave.

While I’m at it, you could teach something like Azelf Imprison, Selfdestruct and/or Explosion and T Wave to stop something you want to catch from exploding.

Manaphy is still the rarest but there is a better method to get a shiny

Once the egg is obtained you need two copies of diamond or pearl

Then you save the game hatch the egg see it's not shiny reset and send the egg over to the other game

You basically reset the games until the manaphy is shiny because in order for it to be shiny its personality value has to match your save files secret id

This is extremely tedious but better than buying A new game every time

Regarding the alternate shiny form for Charizard, it was almost certainly purple originally because of technical limitations. Because it was only 8-bit, they had a lot more limits on how things could look, namely a much smaller colour palette. When you look at gen 2 Charizard, you see that the orange is all the same shade and lighting was minimal, done by adding patches of white. But with gen 3, the GBA was 32-bit, and as such had a much larger colour palette. This meant that they could have more shades of colours, so Charizard in gen 3 had different shades of orange and used them for lighting effects instead of just white.

So why does that explain it being purple? Well thanks to the limited palette, if they went with shiny Charizard being black, it would be nearly impossible to make out any real detail. It would mostly be a black blob, messing with outlines and lighting and shadows. As such, purple was often used as a replacement for black in a lot of things, giving a shadowy or night look to stuff, being darker than most available colours but light enough to make out details. It was a common placeholder or replacement for black. But with the expanded palettes of later games, they could actually make it black because they had different saturation levels for it and more grey options, letting them properly shade it, have outlines for definitions, etc.

You can also see the inverse of this looking at Ghastly, Haunter, and Gengar. In gen 2, their normal sprites were black and purple. There's no real outlines in the black segments, but because the whole thing is meant to look darker, being ghosts, it works. And they can, because the whole thing is darker, use a mix of purple and black for shading (note that the purple is used for the lighter stuff around the edges, whereas with Charizard it would have to have been the smaller patches of shading in various inner areas). But when gen 3 comes and expands the palette, suddenly they're completely purple, just different shades of purple, with a darker purple body, lighter purple for shading, and a much lighter purple for the gas around Ghastly specifically.

With purple and black being used together for shades of the same colours back in 8-bit games (and to a lesser extent, 16-bit as well), it's quite likely that shiny Charizard was intended as the same idea, a shadowy, darker Charizard, and purple was just technical limitations that they were able to overcome. Had the games had a 16-bit era instead of jumping from 8-bit to 32-bit (not even 16-bit side games or spin-offs, as we didn't get any of those until the N64), we probably would have seen more of a progression, with shiny Charizard becoming more a mix of black and purple before finally just black.

The main reason I say "probably" is that such a thing doesn't explain the inside of the wings going from green to red. Aside from intentional design choice changes, I can't explain that part very well, I don't know of any technical limitations differences that would explain that...

I'd be thinking the Honey Tree Munchlax in Gen 4. You have to find the correct tree, and even if you do, Munchlax itself isn't guaranteed to show up

This video has so many miss information about generation three coliseum shadow shines / shines hunt for legitimate means, especially since you mentioned the whole mew glitch and the American bonus disc.

You can do the same thing with the Japanese bonus disc to obtain a shiny celebi that way also, it requires heavily more additional work since you have to complete the whole shadow post mission, plus since we are on the shadow Pokemon topic. Finding shadow Pokemon as shines is easy, you have to have five or less pokemon in your party, capture the shadow Pokemon and once it capture in the same battle just switch it out to see if it is shiny and if it is not shine just re-set the title. You can do this as early as the joto starters.

[ShinyHunterSandslash]

First they way you described how to hunt the manaphy is completely wrong, you can technically do it with one egg.
Plus you don't soft reset for Mew, you do run away.

That note about shiny Spinda is pretty interesting; I actually caught 3 shiny Spinda back in the RSE days, although I believe I did trade one of them away to a total stranger when the Pokémon Journey Across America tour came to Dallas in 2005 (ahh... the days when you had to trade in-person). To think about how unique they are is downright fascinating.

I know the reason why I obtained multiple shiny Spinda was because I often found myself on Route 113 to EV train Special Attack, as Spinda yields 1 SpA EV, and Route 113 seems to be one of the easiest places to EV train SpA in RSE.

It's actually possible for you to catch a shiny pokémon in gen 1. The pokémon needs to have some specific status when you catch it, then you transfer it to generation 2

[garchompelago]

I got my shiny Celebi from the old event in Pokemon GO that promoted the Zarude movie then I transferred it to Pokemon Sword via Pokemon HOME.

Also I was lucky enough to obtain Shiny Arceus in BDSP in just 3 weeks of soft resetting.

[Gerardhutt]

This video came out 2 days ago. But it is like a outdated 10 years video. If you create a video like this please do more research. Most shiny pokemon in this video have other ways to obtain right now

The void glitch does not corrupt your safe file, if you happen to do the wrong steps and you get stuck on a tree/out of bounds area in new moon island, you are scrwed because since this map was suppose to appear on the player dream you cannot either fly or teleport

[Theblkscarecrow]

I'm not going to be at your throat for this video, but I do need to clarify since this is missing some key pointers. (Since I am a shiny hunter). You CAN NOT shiny hunt Mew by soft resets IN EMERALD. You can only soft reset if you KNOW you have an early shiny frame.

If you didn't know, Pokemon Emeralds Random Number Generator is broken (EVERY COPY OF EMERALD). The only possible way is doing runaways and hoping you hit your shiny frame. Shinies exist in Emerald, yes. HOWEVER. Your shiny frame is random and is set at a specific frame and can't change unless you advance the frames or reset your shiny frame by doing something specific in the game.

TL:DR, Soft Reseting is not the correct way to shint hunt Mew. If you want more information, I'd watch videos on how to shiny hunt in Emerald. I will not shamelessly promote any channels. So, if you're want to find more info, go ahead and search how.

I miss purple shiny Charizard. I have one on VC Crystal, which I got from breeding Charmander with a shiny Ditto. It's honestly pretty cool.

[mariorivera]

While you can do the pomeg glitch for the warp you can also do the glitches for event items to access them at your leisure.
Also even though the glitches in gen4 allow easy access (now after the early days of walking thousands of steps) to those pokemon you can also use the dns settings to access the event items and skip the risk to the game data

[mrcx]

When I was young, there was always this story going around about a series of elaborate glitches that can get you a golden shiny Charizard. Of course it turned out not to be true in the end, but damn, we really tried - and preparation for that alleged glitch took several hours on cartridge.

[BLZ-okrh]

there is an alternative for manaphy tho if you have two different copies of pokemon diamond or pearl you can hatch the egg and if its not shiny just soft reset and send it to other copy and continue the process until you get a shiny one
