Catching Shiny PokemonFinding a shiny Pokemon is very rare, but possible. Listed here are a few of the proven methods to obtain shiny Pokemon. Chaining:The easiest way would be to use a poke radar and "chain" the Pokemon you are looking for. Chaining is when you find the same Pokemon and faint/capture it repeatedly. To make this succeed you must not step on the edges of the grass, run away, or find a different Pokemon. A shiny Pokemon usually appears after you chain it at least 40 times. To get a higher chance of your chain not being broken if you are chaining, spray a repel. It is far more complicated than this though so please refer to the links provided on a more in-depth layout on rules for Chaining Pokemon:

SR'ing/Soft-Resetting:To capture legendary shiny, you must save before you fight them. Then engage it, if it is not a shiny you can "soft-reset". Soft-resetting is to push the start, select, R, and L buttons at the same time. This will reset the game, starting it as if you turned of the game without saving, but it takes you to the start menu. Doing this exceedingly 200-1500 times may give you the chance of capturing one. Breeding/Masuda Method:Your chances of finding a natural (non-chained or RNG'd) wild shiny is about 1 in 8192. You can also hatch a shiny from an egg via the Masuda Method (Breeding one traded Pokemon [originating from a game cart with a foreign language to the one being used for breeding] with a compatible Pokemon [originating from the game cart used for breeding or one of the same language]) to slightly increase one's odds of obtaining a baby shiny to about 1 in 2048 (1 in 1366 in Black and White games). Cheating:You could use a cheating device like Action Replay (AR) or PokeSav, but using it too much can corrupt your save file. It is suggested to try to catch a shiny without cheating.
