How the hunt works
Track it with the Pokédex or Marking Map, chase it route to route, and flee to reroll the encounter. Slow, because most of the time is travel rather than encounters.
The base rate in Pokémon FireRed is 1 in 8,192. There is no Shiny Charm in this game, so the base rate is the best you can get.
Tips
- •Trap it with Mean Look and Block once you find it shiny.
