Pff, he was never beastly. Let's face it; just like Scrafty and Pikachu, he's only ever used by people who like his design.

I thought Scrafty was fairly popular and useful? I mean he seems almost custom made to take down a good chunk of the gen 5 elite 4 all on his own.

 

[Firestorm]

Back on topic, why are some many competitive Pokemon Shiny? Aren't they like super rare? And shiny legendaries more so?

For some reason people usually RNG them shiny so unless you specifically request a non-shiny or they have one, chances are the Pokemon you get will be shiny from most breeders. I normally ask if they have a non-shiny version because I hate the look of most shinies. If they have one on hand though I'll usually take it before I don't want to be a bother. The Ferrothorn on my team is shiny for example because I got it from a friend who already had one he used on his team with the exact EV spread I would have wanted anyway.

I thought Scrafty was fairly popular and useful? I mean he seems almost custom made to take down a good chunk of the gen 5 elite 4 all on his own.

Scrafty is good. Dark typing helps against Metagross that carry Zen Headbutt as well as Cresselia. Only Pokemon aside from Hitmontop to be able to use Fake Out and Intimidate. Good lead. I've been liking him on my team a lot since I swapped out Hitmontop.

 

[Aggrotek]

Fuck that. So many shiny colors are hideous.

Lies.

I don't see Scrafty or Honchkrow in there, Aggro >:|

That was just round one.

Here is round 2:

Most shinies are awesome.

I'm going to catch one of these and name her Sigourney Weaver.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I dunno, green doesn't look good on Scrafty

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Green's my favourite colour

 

[Boss Doggie]

It looks too limey, somehow not fitting a shed-skin lizard.

It's kinda like bubble gum Kyogre

 

[Aggrotek]

Green's my favourite colour

Me too! It's awesome.

 

[strangedopamine]

Da bess

Yes! Might as well add a few more.

 

[Professor Beef]

Most of those Pokemon that you posted look awful.

the ultimate shiny pokemon

 

[Busaiku]

Most of those Pokemon that you posted look awful.

But not Whimsicott.

 

[ZenaxPure]

Gonna be honest, Shiny Swellow is my favorite pokemon in the entire series, that teal color scheme! I was lucky enough to find one in emerald with a near max speed iv and speed increasing nature. People really underestimate him in online triple battles, I have had him wreck entire teams.

 

[Professor Beef]

But not Whimsicott.

The blue works with Whimsicott.

 

[UltimateIke]

Hey guys in case you missed it, I posted the newest episode of Treecks & Geeks.

Here is a link: Click me!


Bad things happen again.

I finally caught back up.

That gym battle was miserable.

 

[ffdgh]

This is clearly the best shiny

Nah now really but here's my fave next to buizel...since I own it <3

A shame they screwed up the colors when it evolves.

 

[Aggrotek]

I finally caught back up.

That gym battle was miserable.

Not fully caught up.

Just uploaded the next one: Episode 17.


What do you think of my intro Ike? Like it?
Also, you are becoming very valuable. Refyref will be too.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Shiny Rayquaza always cracks me up with the weird black-face going on. :/

But this is by far my favorite...

Glalie is just a bad-ass looking Pokemon all around.

That's the benefit of looking like a legless Gengar wearing a hockey mask.

He ain't got nothin' on Pimpkrow, though.

 

[Boss Doggie]

It's actually a floating Shin Getter head. And yeah, Pimpkrow is awesome.

So next month, we get more Sylveon info?

What's the difference with Garchomp lol

 

[MikeMyers]

I MVP'd that match despite being underleveled!

But dude use Strength more, it would have done way more than Bite did in that 2v2 battle.

 

[ColtraineGF]

We would get more than that, I think.

I'm hoping for more screens, some main character art, and a few com-mons myself.

 

[SenorArdilla]

What's the difference with Garchomp lol

It's a slightly lighter shade of blue. Just like how Pikachu is a slightly darker yellow.

 

[Busaiku]

The blue works with Whimsicott.

Da bess

 

[Boss Doggie]

Pranksicott is hilarious.

 

[Chet Rippo]

So next month, we get more Sylveon info?

Hopefully something good this time.

 

[Frost_Ace]

Best shiny it's him imho:

 

[Box of Bunnies]

Six best shinies verified by a team of scienticians:

This is objective fact, you can't argue with it.

 

[Stage On]

I don't really think about shinies much myself since they are so incredibly rare my chances of getting one are pretty much non existent let alone one I'd actually want.

 

[SenorArdilla]

This game's winner is, GREEN TEAM!

 

[Cute Dragon Here]

This game's winner is, GREEN TEAM!

So much green, it feels like it's that season again. Dragonite looks very off though.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Tangela should have been green in the first place.

 

[UltimateIke]

Watched this one now too.

I like the intro! But I don't know where it is from.

 

[Cute Dragon Here]

I would agree with you on this. The blue Tangela and co are... well, they look a bit sickly to be honest.

 

[MikeMyers]

Battled my White 1 vs White 2 team

White 1: Seperior, Lucario, Tyranitar, Chandelure, Gyarados, Salamence
White 2: Infernape, Gengar, Roserade, Excradrill, Gyarados, Hydregion

Cookie goes to whoever correctly guesses the victor!

 

[Macka]

I have four shinies I've bred myself:

All using the Masuda method. Currently trying to hatch a shiny Zorua, about 600 eggs in at this point. Here are some of my others faves. I tend to like blue shinies the best.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I just realized how tacky Blueviary looks like.

Can't they make it brown or greyish?

 

[Aggrotek]

Watched this one now too.

I like the intro! But I don't know where it is from.

The video is from the Brink CG trailer, and the song is by a band called Psyclon Nine.

 

[Nebula]

I've had two shiny Pokemon.

Breloom is awesome anyway, but I felt incredibly unlucky finding a Raticate. It then proceeds to carry me through the Elite Four and beyond. I got the Breloom as a Shroomish on Emerald and the Raticate on Gold, I think.

Also can anyone tell me what is the furthest back I can go with the 3DS in terms of Pokemon games? I was considering buying a 3DS at some point, and was wondering if I would be able to play GBA/DS games.

 

[strangedopamine]

My Shinys:

All of them through random encounters. I haven't actually tried the Masuda method yet.

Also can anyone tell me what is the furthest back I can go with the 3DS in terms of Pokemon ganes? I was considering buying a 3DS at some point, and was wondering if I would be able to play GBA/DS games.

The 3DS can go as far back as Gen 4. It can't play any games at Gen 3 or below.

The ones you can play on 3DS are 4th gen and above. So:

Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, HeartGold/SoulSilver, Black/White, Black 2/White 2

I would recommend Platinum as the end point.

End point? I think it'd be wiser to just get B/W and B2/W2 at this point in time. Or just wait for XY

Well, no reason *not* to play past games if you explicitly wanted to IMO. It's a bit harder to work backwards if you wanted the full experience.

Spoiler

Ouch, just noticed the junior. Thread-related reasons?

That'd make sense too.

Got a bit too thread-happy late night methinks

This man know's what's up.

I've had two shiny Pokemon.

Diamond/Pearl would be the earliest you can go with a 3DS.
