Shiny Pokemon Help!

Hi im just wondering HOW DO YOU GET SHINY POKEMON....without trading

can sum1 show or post a detailed explanation please

do you happen to have a pokemon that will work for the matsuda method?

If you can't trade, Volkner trades a French Pikachu sometime in the game.

Basically it's all luck-based. I've played since Crystal and have only had 2 shinies. Lucario in Diamond and Grovyle in Emerald.

Lt. Surge trades you a French Pikachu if you can bring back a Pikachu caught in the Viridian Forest.

let me explain the mesuda method lets say u have an english version of SS and u put an english pokemon in the day care center with a foreign pokemon and when they have eggs there is a better chance of the resulting pokemon being shiny

The Matsuda method will make breeding two Pokémon from different foreign cartridges more likely. Foreign as in a different language. For example: an English and an American cartridge won't work, but an American and Italian cartridge would.

These are all the language possibilities you can get: English, Japanese, Korean, Italian, French, Spanish and German.

The Matsuda method will make it four times more likely to get a shiny through breeding.
