It's really just pure luck as far as starter Pokemon go. There is no way to increase your chances outside of using an Action Replay. If you can't get a shiny starter Pokemon the first time, I suggest cutting off the game, and trying again. Repeat until you receive a shiny starter. Though, be warned, you could be doing this for near days on end before your luck plays out.

Yes, and even then, you may get a disappointing nature, or even bad IVs... Etc.

Guest answered:

You have a 1 in 8000 chance kid.
Good luck, and I hope you get the shiny you want.

Guest answered:

Another way is to breed your starter with a ditto, but with that you end up with like 1,000 starters before you get the shiny starter... Or worse, 100,000,000,000 !!!!! OMG I could not breed that many. Or can I ?

Guest answered:

Im looking for one to,havent got one yet though,but ill keep trying(or at least until I get frustrated and though my dsi out the window)

Guest answered:

Hmmm.... The best way to obtain a shiny is exactly the action replay but it is very, very, very, very, very, very, very dificult. I too am trying to obtain a shiny starter, four days trying and nothing. Good luck.

When you enter the code do you need to press any buttons to activate it?

Guest answered:

I have a shiny charizard and it's a girl but I don't have blasoise... :(

Guest answered:

I got shiny girl chikarita first try Not that hard if
It does not work soft reset lr + start shift all at
The same time. Good luck

Firetypeblayder answered:

OMG just soft reset a whole bunch until you get it might take like 3 times or 1,000 times.

Guest answered:

Ya I want one so bad just will not work I mean I'm about to smash my 3ds of the floor. Just keep reseting I guess.

Guest answered:

I have tries over 500 times for maybe 3 days already after a while you can't tell a shiny chikorita from a regular one because you get so tired but the pay out is worth it

Guest answered:

Its easy. Start your game and go to prof. Elms lab. Waik in front of the machine with the 3 poke balls. Save your game. Then go in the machine and see if the Pokemon you want is shiny. If not, then just soft reset by pressing L+R+start+select. I got a shiny female cyndaquil on my 3rd try

Guest answered:

Shiny hunting is painful and annoying I have been doing this you days maybe a week


Guest answered:

Soft resetting is the best thing to do, in my experience. LR + LL + START/SHIFT, is how to do a soft reset, if you weren't sure how to. It might take a few tries, I would recommend saving right before you try to snatch your shiny starter, in my experience, all starters become shiny, that way it's fair for players.
