'Red' Gyarados |
You remember the Gold...err... Red Gyarados in the
lake north of Mahogany (Choju) Town, right? Well that's not the only
Pokemon that is colored differently. Throughout the game, through
all wild grass, there is always a very very very slight chance
you'll run into a shiny Pokemon. So rare in fact, that the chance
is 1 in 655361.
They have above average stats because they have Defense, Speed,
and Special DVs of 10 (except for HP which has a DV of 0 or 8) than
the normal "regular" colored ones.
To make sure you have a special colored Pokemon
look at its stats and if it has 3 pluses by it's gender, then that
means it's a shiny one. Also, when used in battle it will sparkle
and shine when you bring it out.
Every Pokemon has a special color, even the ones
that you can only catch once like Lugia or Ho-oh (though it is VERY
rare for them to be shiny when you run into them), so always be on
the lookout where ever you go since one could pop up at any moment. |
