>looking for dragon fang dragonair>meet my second shiny in 20 years in gens 1-4>both were in safari zone and fledthis one fled in 9 balls, rest in peace, smile because it happened
>>59133870I'm sorry friend. Sometimes these things happen
That sucks, take solace in the fact that shiny dragonite is hideous at least
>>59133872>>59133874thank you anons, it just sucks that 1/8192 has not treated me well for so many years
>>59133870The first one was also Dratini?
>>59133881brute force it. the hate will keep you company until you find the shiny you deserve (a kakuna).
>>59133887it was a HGSS haunter from the shitty safari zonecurse you Baoba
>>59133888will probably go for a shiny abra or gastly, both of which are easy to brute force
humiliation ritual
>>59133870KWAB
>>59133870Same thing happened to me last year. Found a shiny Bibarel in Platinum at the Great Marsh and the bastard fled after throwing a single ball.
>>59133874Shiny Mega Dragonite is kino
>>59133870You can get a shiny Dratini as a reward in White 2 if you want, you didnt miss anything.
I caught a Safari Zone shiny before, but it was Natu whose shiny is barely different from the regular one
>>59133870There is a flowchart you can follow to catch safari zone pokemon.
>>59133870isn't there some online calculator you can use to find the most optimal moves to give the highest chance of catching safari mons
>>59136928i used it and used 9 balls, the chance to run away is always around 10% even if the mon is eating and the chance to capture dratini with 30 balls is around 20%
I caught 3 shinies my last playthroughMy advice: don’t go to the safari zone, get the items, get the pokemon you want from there ONLY if theyre exclusive like Tauros, and get out. Also you can get a free shiny Dratini in White 2
>>59133870>he didn't use the bait stratsIt's like you wanted it to flee
>>59133870Only trannies care about shinies, the dragon fang or a lucky egg in frlg are a higher achievement than a palette swap
>>59137043I did, and it fled after 9 balls. the bait strats are not foolproof, dratini has 20% chance to be caught in 30 balls>>59137050thats the thing, i already have the lucky egg, got it the first try so i thought my save file was blessed
>>59133874The hell are you talking about, shiny Dragonite looks great in gen 3.That shade of dark green goes well with the purple wing interiors and overall looks quite nice.Out of all the green shinies out there, that’s the one you decide to hate on?
>>59137655Yeah it looks mad ugly, that color simply does not suit it and is vastly worse than the default.
