a green spoted spinda!? (Shiny pokemon thread)

how many spot patterns are there? just curious

I wanted to know this too, so at one point in my Emerald, I just went around catching them. I know there are at least 30 different patterns (those are the one's I caught, and examined) then I got sick of it.
 
well there is a diffrent modifyer for each of the 4 spots it has.
when the spinda is created, it generates the location for each spot.
Look at Spinda’s PID in hexadecimal. Convert each hexadecimal digit into decimal in turn. So, for example, if Spinda’s PID is [65492BDA], we would have 6 = 6, 5 = 5, 4 = 4, 9 = 9, 2 = 2, B = 11, D = 13 and A = 10. From these numbers, the co-ordinates (5, 6), (9, 4), (11, 2) and (10, 13) are thus constructed. These correspond to the coordinates of the upper-left hand corner of Spinda’s left face spot, its right face spot, its left ear spot and its right ear spot respectively. (Spinda’s left spots appear on the right in its front sprite and vice-versa.) All Spinda have exactly 4 spots. If some Spinda appear to have less than four spots, it is either because some spots are superimposed on each other or because the coordinate for some spots does not fall completely on Spinda’s sprite.

To put them in place, the game adds 18 to the x-coordinate and 19 to the y-coordinate of the left face spot. It also adds 6 to the x-coordinate and 18 to the y-coordinate of the right face spot. Lastly, it adds 24 to the x-coordinate and 1 to the y-coordinate of of the left ear spot. The right ear spot’s coordinates are left unchanged.

Thus we have:
Left face spot upper-left hand coordinates: (23, 25)
Right face spot upper-left hand coordinates: (15, 22)
Left ear spot upper-left hand coordinates: (35, 3)
Right ear spot upper-left hand coordinates: (10, 13)

I've caught a Shiny Wurmple through Pokeradar and the first try and a random shiny graveler. But I've also hatched a Shiny Bagon that is almost good enough to use in an actual battle if only the nature was different. But a friend of mine had something really funny happen to him. He gets into battle with a shiny graveler by chance and goes to attack when suddenly the Graveler uses self-destruct and that was the end of that graveler. lol

Why do people bother figuring this out? IT'S JUST A GAME!!!
 
The worst thing happened to me today, i got to a chain of 32 with a ralts! the best chain ive had(cuz im horrible at chains) and then i lost it by getting to close to the edge.

:eek:You have just brought the wrath of a Pokemon Nation upon yourself.
We have this down to math and science so we can become greater at understanding how to train Pokemon and learn about all the new ways to get the kinda of Pokemon we want on our team.
The things that are down to a Science have made it easier to understand why some Pokemon are stronger then others at the same level.
Things that have been brought to a science.
Egg Moves
EV's (Not EEVEE.....)
IV's
Natures
Breeding
Move Combos
Shiny Pokemon

In this way we have become advanced in this that not many non-tournament trained teams can beat a fully IV breed and EV trained Pokemon.
And if you can work it out to be a shiny then it looks coo to boot!
That is why we take the time to do all of this.
It is not just a games.
Its a game that takes skill and knowledge to play.
Not some game to where the person who mashes buttons the most wins.
It is a Pokemon game and legend among Video Games!

I end my rant here.....:thumb:
 
I understand the Ev's and stuff. That makes since. Stronger wins=figure out how to be stronger.

Why do I need to know WHERE the SPOTS on my SPINDA are going to be again? What game advantage does that give me?

Hahahah!!!! I told your n00b self it'd be under his left cheek!!!! :confused:
 
I got 2 Shiny Magnemites in a row at over 80 in chaining, and when getting a good Adament Ditto for breeding, I got a shiny around 30.
 
What so what do EV and IV stand for? cuz i train my pokemon really well and they are very good, but i dont know what those abreviations stand for.
 
A couple of hours ago I found and caught s shiny Zubat in Fire Red.

In the past I have caught a shiny poliwag in Crystal, and a shiny Tauros and Ditto that were chained for in Diamond.

though i do find how in-depth the game seems to be so interesting, do you not feel like its a lil OTT? i mean someone saying they've done 1300 hours on the game ... how can you stick that out. ive bought (and pretty must lost) every handhelp pokemon game where you go round abducting animals and making them fight each other. and about half way through the gym crawl... i sort of get really bored and every time that cheesey encounter animation comes up i feel like im gonnadie from bordem. "skill and knowledge"? i founds it lacked any skill whatsoever. particularly the random encounters, you press scratch and they nearly die, they attack you and you hardly notice it and you scratch again and they're no more. i'll admit the elite 4 matched do require some thought, but very little skill. okay so lets take tekken for example, im assuming this is the sort of button bashing game you are talkin about, how about if someone learnt how to do all the actual moves? rather than just hitting buttons? thats skill, blocking every one of the other persons 10 move combo is skill ... and as i see it, pressing scratch isnt.

thats my rant

btw: the red spinda looks so much better than the green one
 
I actually got a Shiny Ponyta from an egg believe it or not lol. Took like 50 hours just to get that Perfect natured shiny Ponyta!
 
On Fire Red i encountered a a shiney Pidgey. But it was at that part in the beggining where you have a package(before Oak gives you some pokeballs)and you cant use the store. So i had no way of catching it.
