Here's how Shiny Pokémon work in Pokémon Diamond:
* Random Encounters: Shiny Pokémon have a very low chance of appearing in the wild, regardless of where you are.
* Shiny Charm: The Shiny Charm, obtained in the game, increases your chances of encountering a Shiny Pokémon slightly.
* Masuda Method: This method involves breeding Pokémon from two different regions. This significantly increases the chance of a Shiny Pokémon hatching from an egg.
To find Shiny Pokémon in Pokémon Diamond, you'll need to:
* Explore: The more you explore, the more Pokémon you encounter, and the higher your chances of finding a Shiny!
* Use the Shiny Charm: Equip this item to give yourself a better chance.
* Try the Masuda Method: Breed Pokémon from different regions for a much higher Shiny rate.
Good luck on your Shiny Pokémon hunt!
