Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Shiny pokemon

Please end this useless argument and get on topic. This is not about what is legal or not, it is about shiny pokemon.
 
But... it's about whether shiny pokemon are or are not "legit". That... that sounds like it's about shiny pokemon to me...

How does RNGing for shiny legends work? I've read some guides on it but it still feels unclear.
 
I usually stalk the GTS with all of my cloned legendaries from Emerald...its takes time and dedication, but I have lots o shinies.....I don't play VG competitively so I don't care if the pokemon are legit or not..
 
So playing Black this morning I found a shiny Patrat (which I want because way back in the days of AOL me and my brother shared a SN in like 5th grade named Patsrat so I found that pretty funny) AND MY STUPID SNIVY KO'ED IT IN ONE SHOT WITH A CRITICAL HIT TACKLE. Soul ruined.
 
I used to chain a lot it Platinum.
I got a shiny Shinx (now Luxray), Skitty, Slakoth, Skarmory, Houndour, Doduo (x2), Buneary, Kirlia, Voltorb, Snubbull, Happiny, and Eevee (x2).
 
i guess i have been lucky...
caught shiny zubat on sapphire
shiny chingling on pearl
shiny aron on emerald
shiny sableye on my other emerald
and chained more than a box of shinies on pearl
my highest chain is 116 pachirisu
 
I can't chain to get a shiny to save my life. I just don't get it. My highest chain is 50. What is the average needed before shiny Pokemon start appearing?

I started out bad as well, but now I'm a lot better. You just need patience and eventually you will be able to chain quite a lot successfully.
There is no need to chain anymore Pokémon after 40 have been chained. When you use the Poké-Radar with 40+ chain, the chances are always 1/200 of a shiny patch appearing. You can't lower that chance. When your chain reaches 40, keep reusing your PR until you get a shiny patch. :)

Well, I'm not bad at it. I can chain pretty good, actually. It's just I get up to like 40-50 and then the chain breaks before I see a shiny.

What do you mean by shiny patch? I always go after the patches that sparkle. Are there 2 different kinds of sparkling patches?

The shiny patch will sparkle GOLD if it is shiny. Watch this video VERY closely and you will see the difference the patch makes:

BTW - i found out the hard way just a few moments ago.

Boldore Shiny. With sturdy, i thought i had a free shiny w/o any work.
Then i forgot i was wearing Rocky Helmet JUST to knock them out 1st turn.
 
Just caught a wild shiny Scraggy, out on route 17.

Gotta say that this is the first time that I have caught a wild shiny anytime before 60 hours of play time. I hope that my luck extends into other things today!
