Hi everyone, ive been seeing this rumor floating around on many different websites, and i was wondering if its actually true?


1. Have the red gyarados, or any other shiny pokemon with you.

2. Put a flying pokemon in the first position, the pokemon's color who is wished to be changed in the second, three pokemon of your choice in the other positions, and the shiny pokemon at the end of your party.

3. Now, deposit the pokemon of your choice in an empty box, along with the shiny pokemon in the P.C. last.

4. Now, go to the bug catching contest, and enter. Use your flying pokemon in the contest. as soon as your in the contest, exit out, and the clerk will say: " Would you like to finish now?"

5. Say "NO" and you'll be back in the contest.

6. Use your flying pokemon to fly out of the contest, and store whatever pokemon's color who is wished to be shiny in a P.C. box with the pokemon of your choice, and the shiny pokemon you deposited earlier.

7. You should only have your flying pokemon with you.

8. Go back to the contest, save your game by the clerk, and wait until Tuesday, Saturday, or Thursday.

9. When it's one of those day's, talk to the clerk, and complete the contest.

10. Do not exit the contest and finish before the others, because it will break the code.

11. After the contest has been complete, go to your P.C. and withdraw the pokemon's color who wanted to be changed.

12. It will be in shiny version, but it will have the other shiny pokemon's name. Go to the name rater to fix this.


And if it isnt, is there a way to force shiny pokemon? I desperately want a blue Weezing.

Thanks in advance, David

I'm sure I heard this trick before but to find it only works on the japanese version of the game, but I may be wrong.

Perhaps Torchickens finds it reminiscent of http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php/topic,1215.0.html?

Yeah, it only works in the Japanese version or something.
