One interesting fact about Ditto is that in the first generation, Ditto copied the DVs or the opposing Pokémon if it uses Transform twice in a row. If only there was an easy way to get one… Shiny Ditto Trick This method is more time consuming, but will still be your best chance unless you happen to have a Shiny Ditto. So use Gyarados to breed a Shiny Charmander, and then Charmander with Totodile. Dragon makes it compatible with Gyarados, and Monster makes it compatible with Totodile. Charmander is a part of the Dragon and Monster groups. While Gyarados will not work as a parent, maybe breeding for another Shiny parent will work. You will have to chain Shiny breed for the Pokémon that you want.įor example, let’s say that I want a Shiny Totodile. If the Shiny you want is not in these groups, things become tricky. Any Pokémon in these two groups can be immediately bred with Shiny Gyarados. Note that Gyarados is in the Egg groups Water 2 and Dragon. Check out this list of every Pokémon’s Egg group. But how will you know if the shiny Pokémon that you want is breedable with Gyarados? You must know about Egg groups for this. Once you obtain your male Shiny Gyarados from the Lake of Rage, you will be ready to breed for Shinies. Make sure that you catch a male or you will be struggling to get a shiny of a different species later on! But breeding for a Shiny that can’t breed with Gyarados will be challenging. Catch it, and breeders will possess a wonderful breeding parent to get things started. Luckily, all GSC players will encounter a certain shiny Gyarados at some point in the story. Shiny odds will increase from the base chance of 1/8192 to an insanely high rate of 1/64! What does this mean? If a parent is Shiny, then the odds of their child being Shiny are greatly increased. In generation two, whether a Pokémon was Shiny or not was actually calculated by DVs. But many will find that breeding for Shiny Pokémon is more effective than one might think. That is because there is no way to improve Shiny odds in the wild. So with all of these helpful shiny-hunting mechanics gone, it may seem like hunting for Shiny Pokémon will be an incredibly difficult task. If you are unfamiliar with any of these mechanics, do not worry as they do not exist in these older games! Shiny Breeding There is also no kind of DexNav/SOS chaining to rely on. The Masuda Method also does not work, although trading locally for a foreign Pokémon would be a major hassle even if it did. Consequently there is no Flame Body Ability to make Eggs hatch faster.įor Shiny hunters, there is no Shiny Charm. Abilities also did not exist, so there are two layers of the breeding process that a breeder will no longer have to consider in GSC versions. Destiny Knot’s functionality is gone as well as Everstone’s since natures did not exist yet. Many mechanics that breeders rely on to make the process as easy as possible simply have not been added yet as of these games. This will be important to know for anyone wanting to breed for shinies later on. In generation two, there were instead DVs (Deter Values.) They work effectively the same way as IVs, except the numbers range from 0-15 instead. Well, IVs did not exist until generation three.
Many breeders are familiar with IVs (Individual Values.) It is a 0-31 number assigned to each stat to give Pokémon individuality. This guide will serve to navigate the old yet new waters of Shiny/breeding mechanics for generation two’s games. A myriad of changes has come to the franchise since these games were released.
Many current Shiny breeders will be playing a copy of Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal (GSC) ready to grab their Destiny Knots and Everstones so they can breed the best Shiny possible. The Pokémon franchise has developed greatly in regards to how the game works in general.
