[lollipop5871]

Tweak or no?

[halcyonXlll]

@lollipop5871 no tweak, it was from the Wi-Fi event in 2009.

[shaymin]

@shinymaniac Did you really counted the Soft Resets to 4k all the way o_O ?

[edfghb]

OMG I JUST FOUND A SHINY SHAYMIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY CAMERA SUCKS THOUGH!!! im not going to post it. It took be 5 months of SRing!

[CLOCKWISE689]

i remember when i found a shiny houndour with no pokeradar... but it used roar thats why ROAR SUCKS when your catching houndours

[ShiningPocketMonster]

Will some please trade me a legit shiny shaymin or darkrai Id give you anything for it

[nikkygniggz223]

ive been soft reseting for my shiny shaymin since halloween ur lucky!!!

[Aleksss19]

what pokeball did u catch it in?

[pengumonkey001]

lurxury ball

[koala1209]

never see any videos with the shiny coming into the battle. Like a wild they kinda slide into place then you Catch or kill it.

[Nvidiaforever44]

How many soft resets did you have to do? I'm soft reseting shiny shaymin, so far i've only done 220.

[willbwill180]

lol idot for shaymin you want a modest nature ( +spatk , - atck), cos most of its moves are special attack

lol u fail

[halcyonXlll]

Oh come on now. I know some people are borderline stupid, but you just take the p... cake.

Did any part of the description even so much as imply that I wanted the Adamant nature? No. The Shiny was RANDOM, and so I stuck with what I got. Understand?

And enough of that "u fail" garbage, it's becoming really boring.

[residentevilsuperfan]

plz tell me how to soft reset

[xXFREEPOKEMONXx]

L+R+start+select

[wonderpikachu]

loving all your vids^^ i play the japanese platinum games too and got my shiny shaymin a while back :) i subbed and rated 5 stars! but you deserve more for hard workxD

although i hate the noobs complaining that shiny shaymin and darkrai arent legit just because they never played the Japanese platinum games, but oh wels sucks for themxD

keep making awesome vids! are you getting heart gold/ soul silver?

[halcyonXlll]

Well thank you very much, congrats on your own Shiny Shaymin ':-)

And maybe.. I'm thinking about importing Heart Gold this time (Since I used to own Pkmn Silver), though the £40 price tag is mildly off-putting (compared to the usual ~£25 for a DS game), but.. we will see.

[wonderpikachu]

yay^^ i am getting Heart Gold too, i will probably end up soft restting for a shiny chikorita and ho-oh :) i hope there will be a wi-fi event like this one that unlocks celebi and we could soft reset for a shiny celebi ;O!

ne ways i'll keep watching your vids and pretty soon HG will come out^^ have a fun summer!

[halcyonXlll]

Mmm.. GameFreak have been including a number of one-off previous generation Pokémon into recent games (the roaming Legendary Birds and the Regi's in Platinum, Kyogre, Groudon and Rayquaza in HG/SS), so perhaps Celebi, too, will also make an appearance?..

Either way, I'm looking forwards to meeting the Red Gyarados once more ;o

Anyway.. Thanks again, and you as well :-)

[guninmyface]

it would be cooler if the shiny shaymin is blue and you can call it sonic

[crsmelee]

lol that would be awesome or if u can call sonic shaymin

[CalmCune]

How many SRs did this take to get?

[halcyonXlll]

Not sure, I don't count. Time-wise, it took about an hour (total) of moderate SR'ing for Shiny Shaymin to appear.

[CalmCune]

:o

Goodness, that is so lucky. Congratulations, though, Shaymin is such a nice shiny. :D

[RonaldoBestEver]

have shaymin

[knife615]

Can you tell me how you got the gracideau flower. When i use my prof. Oak shaymin I wont get flower.

[halcyonXlll]

If you are not using a movie event Shaymin, then you must use a Flower Paradise Shaymin caught in Platinum (not one from Diamond or Pearl). Remember that the Gracidea Flower is a Platinum-only key item.

Additionally, if I remember right, the Shaymin must be in slot 1 of your party when you talk to the blonde girl by the signpost in Floaroma Town.

[knife615]

Thank you for the help!

[doxiong]

this is a hacked event shaymin right? from the ones from action replay?

I know it is!

[halcyonXlll]

Wrong. This is a *legitimate* event Shaymin; The "Oak's Letter" item was received via a Mystery Gift Wi-Fi download, which is currently available for Japanese Platinum owners until May 11th '09.

[cocmap]

i actually heard it can be a physical ataker lol with a totur move

[Str0ngSide]

Does anyone know when the Oaks letter will be available in the US?

[MenceMaster]

By my estimations, I'd say sometime this Fall/Winter.

[KaosDarkrai]

Congrats on the shiny Shaymin.

Awesome in it's sky form.

Too bad about the nature.. :(

[cocmap]

lucky man i cant wait to sr for shiny shaymin in platinum

[shinycollector7]

...Major congrats! I've done 8,315 SRs for Giratina on Platinum without the slightest luck.

[halcyonXlll]

Thank you.

Well, feel free to borrow some of my luck. Apparently it is quite abundant on my side of the grass.

[shinycollector7]

Yeah I noticed x_x The only luck I ever have is on FireRed, which gave me shiny Moltres in 5 or less SRs and Ponyta 3 days later. I wish Platinum would just give me one shiny. Giratina will hopefully shine before 10,000.

[MenceMaster]

Congratulations.

How many SRs?

[halcyonXlll]

I wasn't counting, but in terms of hours I'd say around about... one.

','

[MenceMaster]

Damn...

Nice.

That was probably around how long it took for my Darkrai.

I'm gonna steal some of that luck you offered up ;D

Congrats, again.
