OK, I've been to that site before and I didn't know what it was talking about. Before I can calculate my IV's, I need to know what Effort Points are. :) I've only had R&S since the 17th. :)
 
This shining hunting thing sounds cool, heres some of the ones ive found:

Shining swampert
Shining Latios
Shining Tentacruel
Shining Wailord
Shining Latias
Shining Kyogre [PINK!!! HES PINK!!!]
Shining Groudon
Shining Crobat
Shining Raichu

But, id say, my favorite find of all:
SHINING WYRMPULE!

anyway, Effort points can increase your stats very gradually; you get 1-3 of them per fight.

This is how we get effort points.

Fight* and win in a battle > 1-3 depending on the pokemon

Fight* and win in a battle while holding macho badge > 1-3*2 depending on pokemon

*- the pokemon doesn't have to knock it out, it just has to have participated. Also, experience share gives the pokemon thats holding it the same amount; it doesn't split it like it does experience.

Rare candies = Nono if you are trying to get good Effort points. Because it wastes levels, it gives you less oppertunities.
Once your effort points reach 510, you can get the Effort ribbon. This will lock your Effort Value in place, making rare candies safe.

Thanks
 
I feel so sad now cuz teh only Shining Pokemon I have is just a Shining Gyarados from Silver version.
 
I caught a Shining Wingull - it has Green bands on it's wings instead of Blue ones. I haven't let it evolve, though.
I stashed it with the LatiOs I caught in Sapphire (Yes, Latios. I got it via the EonTicket). Haven't got LatiAs yet. The darn thing is still running about Hoenn laughing at me. :)
 
Guardian TM, Latias taunted me for 62 hours. And i also got Latios from eon tocket (those things are everywhere in japan).

Arthas_zero, shining pokemon are hard to catch; don't feel bad if you can't find them. Also, shining gyra is awesome.
 
re

The wild Lati@s can be hard to catch, if you had little experience with G/S/C. I believe the dogs were harder to catch. I caught my Latios 3 hours after first seeing it.
 
SOT, now that you mentioned the legendary dogs, has anyone caught a Shining version of the legendary dogs?
 
heck, i havent even caught the originals yet.

Oh yeah, one more thing. For all you Nintendo Power Subscribers out there, you might remember the Coluseeum section they had (now if they only bring that back). Remember the one colussem where some girl have a 6 Mewtwo party? if yes, remember that they mentioned that one of them was a Shining Mewtwo? My only question is how long it would possibly take to get a shining mewtwo.
 
I don't even see how that's possible without sharking. Mewtwo has not been catchable in any version with Shining Pokemon.
 
yeah; in R/B/Y a gender number is not generated. To get a coloured mewtwo your odds are some 1/656.

Also, Suicine and Entei I have coloured. No such luck with Raikou.

Seeing as this is a hunting community, i think ill start the hunt.

Shining Salamence anyone?
 
Normal Bagons are found in a small cave within Meteor Falls. You have to have Waterfall and Surf to get there. I assume Shiny Bagon would be found there, too.
 
well; that wasn't hard. Ive got a shining salamence sitting in box 10. Lets see....

Muk? shining muk. That will be interesting. Yes, i would like to see that.
 
i got him somewhere...

He's not that hard to get because u save before you know nincida is gonna evolve then if he isnt coloured, you reload ur game and try again.

easy way?! Once you figure it out let me in on the secret too :)

Well, these are some things that make for an easier shiny: (examples in brackets)
-Pokemon that can only be found in one area (bagon)
-Legendaries that u only get one of (Regis)
-Starter Pokemon (Mudkip)
-Feebass

By far the hardest pokemon to catch shiny is latias/latios.
