Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire (Pokemon ORAS) has many mysterious Pokemon and secret bases. The game has a host of shiny Pokemon that are rare and players don't come across it often.
Players can know that a Pokemon is shiny or not by its colours. Though some do not have the same amount of colours as the others, they have an animation with stars popping from it.
Below we look at how to get a shiny Pokemon and iDigitalTimes has revealed some of the methods that can help players:
The Standard Method
This is a luck-based method to get the shiny Pokemon. Players have to head to the tall grass and wait for the shiny Pokemon to turn up. Players can hope that they find one since there is a chance of them finding one in 4096.
Masuda Method
This method was named after the person who revealed it, Junichi Masuda, a Pokemon developer. This method lets players breed a shiny Pokemon instead of searching for them in the tall grass.
So breeding them entails stats, moves and abilities that they want. This method was originally started so that one can trade between other country players. This method is introduced in Generation 4.
Two Pokemon that originate from different part of the world must be bred. This must be done until a shiny Pokemon has hatched. The possibility rate is 1 in 1365.3 in Generation 5 and lesser in Generation 6.
Though this method tests the patience of the player it works fine.
DexNav Chaining
The DexNav helps in finding shiny Pokemon. This method too needs players to have more patience and luck.
Players have to catch a shiny Pokemon so that it will show in DexNav. More amount of repels must be bought to avoid running into a wild Pokemon. An Encounter Rate with 30-40 will work better.
Once the chain is started, search for the shiny Pokemon. When players find one use repel and then stalk it. And once players encounter a shiny Pokemon, they have to either faint or catch it. But if they retreat then the chain will be reset.
Note: If players let the Pokemon run away then the Chain will be broken.
Every time players encounter Pokemon, their chance of encountering a shiny Pokemon will be up.

Chain Fishing Method
Players of Pokemon X and Y will remember this method, and this is one of the easiest methods to catch a shiny Pokemon.
Players must put a Pokemon that has the ability of Suction Cups to lead their party. This will enable players to catch one when they lay the cast.
However, if players are unable to catch a Pokemon with the rod or if they move from their place then the chain will break.

Shiny Charm
Shiny Charm will be received if player complete Nations Pokedex. This item will enable the rise of the encounter rate for players in their search for shiny Pokemon.

For Players outside Japan
Though chances of getting these three for players who do not live in Japan are considerably low, the first two Pokemon will be distributed via Pokemon Get TV. If there can be an livestream of the event, then others too might get it. But if the code will be applicable only to the Japanese systems, it will be difficult.
Samurott is difficult since, it comes via CoroCoro magazine. So unless players have the subscription or can pick up from a news stand it will not be possible.
