54 chain? Wow.. back in the game already. Keep it up Fox. Hopefully I can get those clones soon.

[Fox]

Caught 2 shiny Ralts on 40 and 41 chains. Timid/Impish natures, both male/Lv.4/caught in Luxury balls/caught on Rt.204(South)
Ugh, sleep soon...it's 6:00am

Broke the chain myself at 42 due to tiredness.

EDIT: With some help from my lovely assistant, CK, I now have 4.
Huzzahs are in order.

EDIT: Wait, no.. I've got more than that. I forgot about some junk on ranch.. XD I'll need to do some serious counting/withdrawing.

[real-o]

Very nice CK. :P

I didn't know you accepted hacked ones. I also have a shiny Drifblim at Lv 100 that I got from the GTS that I think is hacked. It's Japanese, Timid, and already had Pokerus. Interested?

[SSBfreakCK]

The hacked Scizor was just.. eh. I got it from a "friend" who ripped off my suicune. Not like I didn't have 3 others though.

I don't generally accept hacked ones in actual trades. Fox just let me clone the Feraligatr for lulz. You should see how damn hacked it is. XD So no, sorry, not interested in the Drifblim. Ofcourse, I will ask - why do you think it's hacked? ..Aside from being on GTS.

[Shadow*91]

yeah, you can find lots of legit pokes from Japan. and even if they're traded over GTS they keep Pokerus if they had it.

Your list of shinnies never ends, Fox. It's amazing to think you had no idea what chaining was just a bit ago, and now you're a chaining master.

[Neosquid]

I got my Pokemon to get the Pokevirus from a Pupitar I got over Wi-fi.

I do technically have one Shiny, and that is a Red Gyrados in Gold. Sadly thats the only one.....when Platinum comes out, Ill do this chain thing or whatever it is.

[SSBfreakCK]

Heh, you better study up on it before getting Platinum, Nick. Chaining isn't easy - and can be frustrating, very frustrating. Not trying to discourage you, it's just a warning.

..Only Red Gyara in GSC? ..Lol, I atleast caught the shiny Beedrill in that bug catching contest park, and one other shiny I can't seem to remember(no, it wasn't Gyara, he doesn't count IMO).

Does this give you a hint on anything? DOES IT?

[SSBfreakCK]

No, it does not. :P

[RoyRules]

I have no shinies

[SSBfreakCK]

..Uh, that sucks?

..Did he steal Shadow's avatar? >.>;

[Neosquid]

.....whats a chain?

[Fox]

*sigh* nubz
Anyway, I've got important news, as it concerns me, Fox.
Caught 3 shiny Lotad on chains 40,41, and 42. Chain broke at 46.
2 female, one male.
Gentle(SwiftSwim), Brave(RainDish), and Timid(RainDish)
The Timid one could have been sweet, had it been Swift Swim. Oh well. All Lv.6 caught in Dive balls.
I would have posted this earlier today but my power has been out...
Working on another already, as I hope to be up all night. (TKA has a site meeting at my mate's house early tomorow)
CK, if you're still on, PM me for clones.

@Neosquid-A chain represents how many pokes you've killed in a row via Pokeradar.
You might as well wait on learning all this untill you've gotten and beaten Platinum.

[Neosquid]

Oh! I remember that! So thats how you get shinys.

[real-o]

Well I've been chaining Snorunt with incredibly minimal success but finally caught a shiny one. Unfortunately it's male and naughty even though I used a timid synchronizer. The chain broke almost immediately after... not sure why, probably walked into a stupid spot accidentally. I'm gonna keep trying to get a female.

[Fox]

Meh, blizzard chaining sucks.
Got to 37 and 36 on Delibird. Got th 37 on Sneasel and Snorunt.
Got to 77 on Skarmory in falling ash. With only a 5% (or 8% can't remember) appearance rate, it was epic. Got an Impish skarm too!
@real-o You'd still want a shiny Glalie right?

[real-o]

Yeah this chaining in the snow sucks. I think I've found a pretty good spot on Route 216. I'm having to view the screen at a steep angle from above to see the spots clearly. That's a crazy Skarmory chain, Fox. Shiny Glalie is cool looking but I was still hoping for a female.
