I've been resetting my game for a week, and I still haven't gotten the Shiny rayquaza. Does the dry internal battery have anything to do with this, or do I just have really bad luck?

Internal battery won't affect it, you just have to keep going. A week's nowhere near enough.

Okay thanks. Looks like it'll be a while, too. So I'd better get started!

You've probably only done it a couple hundred times where the chances of finding a shiny are 1 in i think 8012 (its around that but im not sure of the exact number).

The chances are 1/8120. I'm still working at it, though. I didn't know because I've heard that some people can get it in 2 or 3 days. I guess I just have to keep at it. I think I'm at around 300-350 resets. Thanks for the advice!

It's 1/8192 and that's cause they were lucky

You can get a shiny rayquaza??????? I thought it said somewhere on the mainpage its impossible.

Where does it say that. You are able to get a shiny version of every pokemon.

It's been a while, but I got my shiny Rayquaza finally.

CONGRATZ!!!!! How do you feel? Excited? Exhilerated? Pumped?

Overall, I'm happy that I got it. Since it'd taken so long, I'm glad I finally got it. By the way, thanks for the congratz!

Congrats. You plan on ev training it?

I am in the process of EVing it, and I'm almost finished. Believe it or not, it'll be the first Pokemon I've ever EV trained on my Sapphire. It's not as easy as I thought it would be!

Shiny Rayquaza is my fav shiny! He looks so cool!

I've reseted 543 times so far, and still going!

Well good luck to you, hammythepig, I hope you get your shiny rayquaza too!
By the way, he's one of my favorite shinies too!

What's EV training?
Sorry, I'm new to this hah.

How do you get shiny Pokemon then?

Thanks for that, explained them both clearly

What do you mean by resetting? Do you mean resetting the whole game?

Nope. He means soft resetting, which I THINK is A+B+L+R. Haven't played Emerald in a while.

I think that's the one for Sinnoh. In Hoenn, if it isn't that, it's A+B+Start+Select.

It's always been A+B+START+SELECT no matter what system (portable). But congrats on the shiny Rayquaza, too. I love that it changes colors so drastically. I also like shiny Charizard. They both turn black .
