A Shiny Compendium

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

I'm in love with that Mareep!   

Still waiting for that special moment when I encounter a shiny...

Looks like cotton candy with a touch of cherry blossom, huh? <3
Your time will come. After all, rate for wild shiny isn't that bad. Plus Pokeradar, plus ShinyCharm, if you got them.

I have neither yet.  At what point do they show up?  Right now, I'm at the Theo-grinding spot at Route 13 after clearing Venisi's Gym.

In all of the "official" Pokemon games, I have only ever encountered a single shiny (not counting the red Gyarados at the Lake of Rage)... it was in Crystal, and for the life of me, I can't remember what it was, only that it was a low-level something-or-other that I already had and was sick of seeing on that route (maybe Hoothoot or Rattata or something).  And this was before I knew shinies were a big deal, so... yeah, I'm kicking myself now.

On the same cartridge, I also reset after a Raikou encounter thinking I'd get another shot at catching it if I did (obviously I didn't, and never saw it again)... and Potion'ed/FullHeal'ed/PokemonCenter'ed the heck out of a Pokemon that got Pokerus, getting thoroughly frustrated when it didn't go away (again, not realizing the rarity and benefit of what I had).  Crystal HATED me!

On the fangame side, I was VERY surprised to revive a shiny Aerodactyl from a fossil in Insurgence!  Only shiny in any of the fangames to date, though.

Normal shiny rate in Uranium is 1024, if it hasn't been changed since Twitch told me that on tumblr about a month before they stopped. As for Pokeradar, you'll get if after the main story (I guess, since I'm not done with it too and havn't received it yet), and for a nice ShiyCharm... well, 192 Pokemon "catched" in Tandor's dex.

Awww. Don't mind. Dunno what else to say here, sorry, I just enjoyed reading through it, though. ^^;
