There is no "way" to catch them. It is just by luck. Or if you have an action replay or gameshark there might be a perfect way.

A shiny Pokemon is among the hardest to see. There is a 1 in 8,000 chance you see one, and they are a bit harder to catch than the normal version of the pokemon. If you happen to find one, do whatever you can to get it, as it is even more rare than legendary Pokemon such as Palkia/ Dialga.

Catching a Shiny Pokemon is really hard. You have a slight posability of catching one. Catching a Legendary Pokemon is harder, though.

cheating-is-good answered:

Consider yourself an extremely lucky person if you EVER see a shiny Pokemon. They are very, very, VERY rare, and hard to catch. There is a 1 in 8,000 something of finding one, so don't berate yourself if you don't see one. You will know that it is a shiny Pokemon, because when you see it small stars will circle around the pokemon.

I found a shiny Pokemon legit by using Pokemon by just walking around in grass patches and theres 1 - 8,000 chance to find a shiny pokemon. I am glad to help out.

Well, there is a 1 in 800 chance of running into a shiny version of a pokemon. But, there is an easy way, but this takes a while.

Try to run into the Pokemon you want to be shiny while using the Poke Radar. Try to do this is in a large grass patch that takes up almost the whole screen. Once you've done that, either defeat or catch that pokemon. If you run away, you have to start all over; keep that in mind. Then, you should notice some more grass patches moving. Go in the farthest one from your current position. It should be the same pokemon. Keep doing that, and you're chaining your battles with him. Once you chain battles with him between 30 and 60 times, you should run into a shiny version of that pokemon. It might take more chains, or it might take less. Just have patience.

You can just chain. Chaining is with the pokeradar what you do is find a big patch of grass for example west of sunnyshore city. What you do is you step into the grass and use the pokeradar. Then you go to a normal shaky grass patch not a glitery one. Then you kill the Pokemon and the grass should shake again you have to go to the shaky spot that looked like the first you one you steped on...NOTE: you maust go to one that is atlest 4 steps away or diangle on u. Now you just keep repeating these steps. But if you get a different type of Pokemon you have to restart the chain

Hope that helped

you need to ask dawn's sister where a swarm is then go there and make sure you have lots of repels and a poke radar. keep using repels and the poke radar to see the same pokemon 60-70 times do not use your bike.
when you meet the shiny catch it fast ( it could flee)

action replay

Guest answered:

Its very hard (1-8000 chance of finding one) so bring lots of Ultra(poke)balls just in case. one way is to chain(keep going to the tall grass and look at the shaky ones.)remember keep catching or defeating the pokemon thats not the shiny pokemon u want. if u do run away then the chain breaks(30-60 of the pokemon might find it).another way is ask dawns sister where a swarm is and then bring lots of repels. once u reach the swarm keep checking from 60-70 times (DONT USE YOUR BIKE!.) This Betta help :F

I have a shiny graveler I ran into it at stark mountain

Guest answered:

In my Fire Red version, I found a shiny Exeggcute in the Safari Zone.

Guest answered:

Its really hard to find a shiny Pokemon it's possible but you have to keep chaining for hours to get one shiny Pokemon but chaining is the best way to get shiny Pokemon instead of using the action replay because when you are using the action replay and you put all shiny Pokemon it will be shiny but when you are not using the action replay the Pokemon that you catch wont be shiny it just normal like before so my guess it's better chaining so stick to it and you get one.And if you breed for shiny Pokemon it never work because it's is very very hard to get a shiny Pokemon I tried it it took like a week to get a shiny Pokemon when I got the it hatch and I got a shiny new pichu it was hard but long so just chaining is the fastest way to get shiny pokemon.
