That's all there is to it you can now breed to your content, with much better odds. Trade it to GSC and you will have a shiny blue Ditto. Heal the Ditto straight away, as otherwise its HP will be a little off sometimes it will have more HP than it can possibly have ordinarily. When you catch it, it will have permanently copied the shiny Pokemon's genes. Make sure you do not accidentally knock it out and start hurling Ultra Balls or the Master Ball at it. Either way, it will eventually use Transform again. When Ditto Transforms, it will either know Mimic or Transform. As soon as you find one, use Mimic to learn Transform. When you have it on the cart, teach it the Mimic TM ( TM31 which you get from Copycat in exchange for a Pokedoll).Įquip yourself with as many Ultra Ball as you can afford (or the Master Ball if you did not use it), and find a wild Ditto. Don't worry although it'll look like an ordinary Pokemon in RBY, it will still be shiny when you trade it back, since the genes do not change when you trade. Next trade the shiny Pokemon to a RBY cart. Whatever you do, though, make sure it only knows moves that were in RBY. I would reccomend deleting all its moves but one first and leave it with a move which does no damage such as Rest or Leer. Before I go on, I would like to point out that this trick was discovered by Meowth346 of Pokemon Forever, who deserves considerable credit for it.įirst of all, get yourself a shiny Pokemon.

Luckily for the avid shiny fan, there's a trick to gain a shiny Ditto which requires the use of a RBY cart.

The most desirable shiny breeder would be Ditto, of course, who can breed with almost every Pokemon. A much easier way to get a shiny would be to breed with a shiny you already have, as the genes would be passed down. Shininess is based on Pokemon genes (otherwise known as DVs), which gives you an 8-in-65536 (or 1-in-8192) chance of finding a wild shiny. The most famous example is the Red Gyarados who lives in the Lake of Rage.

Although they are exactly like ordinary Pokemon, they are a different colour and 'shine' when released into battle. Gold, Silver and Crystal Tricks & Cheats: The Shiny Ditto trick |
