>What are shiny pokemon?
Glad you asked! They're extremely rare variations of pokemon with different color pallets. There's about a 1/8000 chance of encountering them in the wild randomly without any RNG manipulation or methods that increase your chance of encountering one, so it isn't uncommon for some players to have never seen one before despite having played one or more games.
>1/8000 is too high! How do I get one easily?
The most common methods are the Masuda Method, Shiny Fishing, and PokeRadar Chaining, however there seems to be a higher chance of finding shinies in the Friend Safari as well. The three aforementioned methods are covered in the guides section in OP.
>What's the Masuda Method?
Named after Junichi Masuda, one of Diamond/Pearl's developers, programmed a little something special into the games that increases the shiny rate when breeding under certain conditions. Simply, a pokemon traded from a foreign country should be breeded with a pokemon from your cartridge. This increases the rate of an egg containing a shiny by 4x in DPPt (1/2048), and 5x in later games (1/1638). See the guide in OP for more details.
>Can I just soft reset on my eggs if they don't yield any shinies?
Unfortunately, no. When the daycare man from daycare land gives you an egg, a pokemon and it's stats are tied permanently to that egg upon receiving it, including shininess. If you hatch the same egg over and over again by soft resetting, it will yield the same pokemon it did that last time. You can, if you still want to save box space, save before you get any eggs and soft reset if your newly collected haul doesn't yield anything. You'll only have to recollect the eggs again after soft resetting.

There's no significant advantage over boxing eggs and using the coin trick on lumiose as it will still require you to go back to a pokemon center, press A when an egg hatches, and go back to the center when you hatch everything. The time you spend waiting for eggs to be laid, just to end up boxing them and hatching them later, is also valuable time you could be using to hatch simulataneously. TL;DR: Get eggs as they're laid, box pokemon as they're hatched, stay on route 7. Riding around waiting for eggs to lay is time you could also be using to hatch.
>Is the shiny rate higher in the Friend Safari?
The majority of /vp/ thinks that this is true, but there hasn't been a datamine of the X/Y ROMs so nobody can say what the probability is for sure. It appears to be on par with the Masuda Method's probability of 1/1638. In addition, pokemon found in the safari will always have two maxed out IVs and have a chance at having a hidden ability, unlike chaining (see below). It should be noted that you aren't allowed to use the Pokeradar in the friend safari, so chaining isn't an option there.
>How do I fish for shiny mons?
See the GFShinyGuide link in OP. While far easier to find and catch than with the other methods, the pool of available pokemon attainable from fishing is small, and because they much easier to catch, they aren't valued as high as other non-fishable shiny pokemon. Don't fret, you can usually throw a fishing shiny up on the GTS and get most any non-shiny pokemon for it including legendaries if some poor shmuck who doesn't know their worth falls for it. No hard shiny to normal fish ratios yet, but a rough estimate brings it around 1/200 at maximum probability. It should be noted that the mechanics of shiny fishing aren't entirely understood

>>15902240 >What is chaining?
When using the Pokeradar under extremely certain circumstances, one can increase their probability of encountering a shiny in grass patches. This is the more tricky method of the three, as it requires that you follow certain rules in order not to break your "chain" or "streak". The higher your chain, the more likely it is that you'll encounter a shiny. While a faster method than randomly searching in the friend safari, pokemon in the wild are not guaranteed any sort of IVs and will not have their hidden abilities. It should be noted that you cannot use the Pokeradar in the friend safari, but this is made up for by the (supposedly) higher shiny rates in the safari. See the guide in OP for more details.
>Which method should I use, then?
It mostly depends on your preference and what you want out of a shiny. MMing is the obvious choice if you're planning on building a competitive team with you shiny, since it allows you to have influence over nature, ability, and IVs. Safari hunting is the next best choice if you don't want to spend weeks MMing but still want a specific pokemon with some guaranteed stats and the chance at a hidden ability. Fish chaining is a good choice if you just want a shiny to boast about or use as trade fodder as they're the easiest to catch. Pokeradar chaining comes in at the bottom with it being hard to do and not guaranteeing much else besides a higher probability and getting a specific pokemon. It would seem this is only useful if you can't find the pokemon you want in a safari, don't want to spend loads of time MMing, don't particularly care about IVs/Nature/Ability, and are good at keeping a chain alive.

Im new to chaining, I'm taking a break from MM'ing and trying to mix it up.
I know the basics, dont go into edge patches, look for more violently shaking grass, dont pick patches that shake together, dont choose one 1-3 squares to you.
I just hate that I get everything thrown into disarray because of a fucking skiddo.

At 30+, be extra careful. Take a break in the middle of a battle. Good luck, I chained my first two chain shinies yesterday.

Lets say I only have 1 flawless Vulpix egg and its Shiny Value is 1000. I look through a spreadsheet of trainers and their SVs and find one with 1000. I get in contact with them, trade them the egg, and because the egg and the hatchers SV match...its 100% guaranteed to be shiny.

When you pokegen, you create the IVs immediately with no effort what so ever, also known as cheating.
When you check the IVs, you're not changing anything about your game, just checking what the data says. You aren't creating anything.

Cause it's not that hard to pop out a few really good Pokemon as long as you have decent parents.
As a retired BW RNG breeder I think this is an interesting new why to make flawless shinys. But I don't think I will try it ... nope, doesn't seem like it would bring me the type of joy I felt when I hatched my shiny Litleo or hunt a FS shiny.
But I know people are gonna jump all over this and anyone who DOES do this really wouldn't have a reason to trade for shines at that point anyway so ehh, don't care.

>>15921383 I think the IV checker thing does just that, check the information of pokemon/eggs that already exist so all breeding still needs to happen. Apparently people can just use the hidden values to trade the egg they bred to someone else to make it shiny is all. Honestly it doesn't seem very viable to make shinies out of it though, someone said 1/4096 chance that another trainer you trust will have the ID you need them to have.

>>15923476 >>15923482 >>15923498 Your support will guide me ;_;
My theory is it's shininess will be determined in the first battle you find it.
At that point I'll run straight into additional encounters with Articuno just to hopefully confirm that it retains it's shininess during the following 9 battles prior to the cave.
Once this is confirmed, it would be safe to save the game - I can then venture into the Spirit's Cave and draw the final battle with it - If all goes well in my ideals, it should retain shiny status while being able to be Soft Reset for better IVs and Nature if my Timid Umbreon doesn't get the job done.
Essentially if it can be shiny, they'll have it matter on the first encounter as I've heard a couple of small claims they've found the other birds shiny.
Chi - 4012 - 4537 - 4128
>>15923593 i don't think so. i believe that each encounter generates a "new" legendary bird.
the reason for this is because when you soft reset at azure bay, the natures and iv's can vary.

>>15923653 this is how I initially perceived it - but given changes to shiny rates and such, especially the change were natures and ivs can reset on roamers. I wonder if the weird nature of them hitting the cave would explain a change as you described.
It's just I've seen someone the other day mention they had a friend who found a shiny zapdos - They claimed it stayed shiny through to the cave battle.
I just figure that something so elusive and unlikely as the shiny rate, especially for a legend, could maybe have been kept separate from the IV/Nature Values.
Tl;dr - what im trying to say is maybe they separated the shiny capability from roamers, at least this gen given the weird way we have to hunt them.
By all means continue to argue for this - im not in any way set 100% as we have no actual confirmed idea on how or if the shiny roamers work. Partly why im just so keen on trying to contribute concluding this before people hack the cartridge in a month or two.

I'm not so sure, I think if you faint it at the den that'd be it gone - In other words you may have unfortunately saved too late - I may be wrong in some way or form however, just don't get your hopes up until we know for sure the nature of the encounter when the games are hacked into and stuff.
