I Want to Put My Shiny Palkia onto the GTS...

[UltraPiggy]

I recently recieved a shiny Palkia via the GTS. It's legit, level 47. I really don't know how to go about with this. I want to put Palkia up for trade, but I want a Pokemon I haven't seen, and I don't think I'd ever even be able to see it (Deoxys). I don't know what to do.

You can't request a Pokemon you haven't seen. Simple as.

 

[GlassOnion]

How do you get a legit shiny legendary? :s

 

[Fig]

You get lucky? I don't know.

 

[paperfairy]

Soft reset over and over and over.

 

[Fig]

Yeah. More or less the same I got my female Eevee.

 

[Zhen Lin]

Thing is, female Eevee is about 1 in 8, but shiny is 1 in 8192 (or was anyway).

 

[Zeta]

Has that ratio changed?

 

[Fig]

Yes, I'm well aware Zhen.

 

[llxwarbirdxll]

I have a Deoxys. But it isn't shiny and I'm unsure whether or not it's legit.

Has that ratio changed?

Not the regular odds as far as I know, but using the PokeRadar if you encounter the same Pokemon between 40 to 60 some times in a row a patch of grass will start to glitter, and there will be a shiny version of that Pokemon.

That's an ugly boring thing to do, anyway. Getting a row of 40 Pkmn is very difficult, even following some advices:

1.- Going in the middle of the grass with 4+ tiles around you
2.- Going on rare Pkmn (the grass moving the same way, so you increase your chance to encounter the same species).
3.- Using Repel Spray to avoid normal appearing Pkmn.
4.- Taking advantage of abilities such as Static or Magnet Pull.

But anyway, this depends more on your effort than the traditional 1 in 8192 of getting one.
