I don't even know how to use the Pokeradar to chain Pokemon.

No, it's confirmed that it increases till the chain is at 40 or so.
actually, it's never been fully confirmed. I've seen people put up BS forumlae about it, but they're never the same, and even then, the chance only increases to about .5% so there's not much worth in attempting it even then.
I'm not believing it until I see some hard evidence (like changing variables in the RAM) and even then I'd take it with a grain of salt.

Basically, I was catching all the Unowns on a friend's Diamond for him ( he was playing his Pearl ) , and I found a shiny Unown-S. I immediently showed him and he decided to catch it himself. He obviously still has it, but locked away in the Unown box with all 27 other Unown types.

Also, I suck. I thought that a west-side Gastrodon was a shiny. Yeah, I sux0r.

Well, Shiny Pokemon, are ultra rare. My late older brother found a Shiny Electrike, in the grass on his Ruby, and he still has it. The only Shiny Pokemon, you can get is Shiny Gyarados, in G/S/C. I used a Gameshark on my Silver, 6 years ago and I had the enouter any Pokemon Code, on so whenever I went into the grass outside Littleroot, I'd enouter a lvl 2-4 Shiny Celebi.

I never found a real shiny. My cousin did once in his Gold version.

Then you'll be pissed. I just got myself a shiny Eevee! I was breeding Eeveelutions, and one of the eggs hatched into a shiny Eevee! I plan on evolving it. What would you advise evolving it into?

Don't worry, I found my first shiny Pok?mon ever last Saturday.  It was a shiny Abra, I came across it looking for Raikou and Entei in Crystal, used one fast ball and the little bugger was mine.  You shouldn't really be looking for them, just let them come to you.

Ironically, I was telling people at that rate (I was trying to get the beasts for well over a week) I'd find and catch a shiny before I did Raikou and Entei. O_o Thankfully, I caught Entei that night and Raikou the next morning.  Talk about a lucky weekend.

A legit shiny Dialga? :o

I never thought that a legendary could be shiny.  Do you just go to battle with it like the normal event and it has just as much a chance of being shiny as any other Pok?mon?

I'm sure if anybody were willing to give up a year of their life, they could save right before a legendary battle and just restart over and over until they got it to be shiny. ;)

That's generally how people get 'em. Certainly not something I'd care to do.

I don't think I'd be setting a good example for my grandkids when they see that I'm still playing Diamond every day of my life.
