Hey Guys! Sheik here for the third day of Pokémon week! Today I will be talking about some very special Pokémon, the shiny Pokémon!
In case you don't know, shiny Pokémon are pretty much normal Pokémon but they are different colors. They don't have any special moves, and they aren't more powerful, BUT THEY SPARKLE. Now, I know you are like, wow! I need one of these! Well, its not that simple. Shiny Pokémon are rarer than rare. You have a better chance of winning the Mega Millions Jackpot that finding a shiny Pokémon unintentionally. Now don't get upset, there are many ways to increase your chances of finding a shiny Pokémon, and I am going to give you the top 3.

Shinnies from eggs
Now this method is very hard to do. As you can probably tell, you can get shiny Pokémon from eggs. I only know for sure that this works in Pokémon X and Y, I am not positive on any other titles. The first thing you need to do is get a Pokémon that originates from another country. You can get these easily from wonder trade. There are a few ways to tell if it is from another country, such as looking for a symbol in the corner. Put this Pokémon and a Pokémon you caught were you live, in the daycare and wait. Soon you will get an egg, which you then have to hatch. If your first egg is a shiny Pokémon, then you might be the luckiest person in the world. Guess what you have to do if it isn't a shiny? Yup, get another egg. Now, some people get a shiny after four eggs, some people it takes 257 eggs. Either way, this method is very time consuming.

Poke Finder Method
Now this is one of the hardest methods there is but it is the most common. What I am about to say here is about Pokémon X Y, and I don't know if it will work for the other games the same way it works in this one.The first thing you will need is the Pokefinder/locator. You can get this from Sycamore's lab after you beat the elite four. Next, you will need 200-300 max repels. In case you don't know, that would cost about $600,000 dollars in your game, which is quite a lot. Next, you need to find a large patch of grass. I suggest the patch on route five, for it is a good size. Load up your Poke radar and turn it on. Now, this is all about your chain. Once you get a large enough chain, you shiny chances increase. If you break your chain, you have to start over again. Now you think, oh, that's easy! No! its not! Breaking your chain is the easiest thing you can ever do.
Step into a patch of grass shaking slow? Break your chain.
Step into grass with other grass shaking next to it? Break your chain.
Step into grass only 1-2 patches away from you? Break your chain.
One of your eggs start to hatch? Break your chain.
One of your Pokémon starts to evolve? Break your chain.
Run out of max repels? Break your chain.
Step to far away from your grass patch, break your chain.
There are also many more ways to break your chain. When you encounter a Pokémon, you MUST fight it. If you run, Your chain will also break. This is one of the hardest methods and I haven't got past a chain of 5 yet.

Fishing Chain Method
This is the easiest way to find shiny Pokémon. In fact, this is how I found my first shiny Pokémon (which was a relicanth). Now the fishing method was new in Pokémon X and Y, so this will work in no other games. The first thing you will need is a Pokémon with the ability suction cups. Once you have one, make it the first in your party. Next, you need to find a cornered off area and you need to use surf. I use the cornered off place south of the bottom level of the museum in Ambrette town. Next you need to unregister any key items you have currently registered, and registered the desired fishing rod. Next, you have to start fishing. When you get a catch, you CAN run, unlike the last method. If you miss a fish, like you were to slow or too fast reeling it in, your chain is broken and you must start over. You shouldn't get the message saying you aren't getting any bites because you have a Pokémon with suction cups, but if you do, your chain is also broken. Some people can get a shiny after 7 Pokémon, and others it takes 140 Pokémon. I got my first shiny after 25 Pokémon, but is it different every time, and different for different people.
