>>7 YES. It was hell in the original games I would have 3 playthroughs of Emerald dry of shiny pokemon. My last run on an emulator I had so many hours in (Pokemon Emerald), I have gold frontier badges but still no shiny pokemon!

>>6 Its pretty easy in the newer gen games, more ways to find 'em! I agree though the difficulty in this game is quite in the right spot

Wow shiny hunting is so much fun in this game! It's in the right balance of hard but possible at the same time. Finding shinies in the original games is too hard!

>>4 Yup. I hope they update it though. Shiny hunting will be so much fun by then. Also, I thin kthe recruit rates of the shiny pokemon are quite high because i havent had trouble getting them I think its like a 1/5 chance provided you have the rright Rare qualities and Friend bow.

Does this mean there are no shiny versions of the pokemon without a Strong Foe form?

I missed out on a Shiny Ampharos. I didn't have the rare qualities nor the Friend Bow with me at that time. I wasnt really shiny hunting so its just fair.

>>1 pretty much yah. just follow the guide to maximize your recruit chances. I got a shiny azumarill because of the Friend Bow, Squad up and the other rare quality

THIS is so frustrating. first of all i need to find strong pokemon then hope they are shiiny then hope they join my team????????????????
