Answer 1

you can ONLY get hoppip in route 205-South of it

use the pokeradar

& you will see 2 or more grass patches shakes

there are 3 kinds of grass patches when use the pokeradar:

1.a normal shaking grass ( which means that the Pokemon in that patch is COMMON like buizel,shellos,etc.....)

2.a grass that shakes more than the usual COMMON grass ( with little sparkles, which means it is a RARE Pokemon in that patch)

& Lastly,

3. A SHINY shaking grass patch ( which means a SHINY wild Pokemon is in there)

Chances are of getting a shiny starter or wild Pokemon is 1/1,365.3.
