Having Trouble Finding a Shiny Happiny. :(

[TheSilentSerenade]

Hi. I am soft-resetting to try to receive a shiny Happiny from Warehouse 3 in the Coral Ward, but all that I can find are female Happiny that are non-shiny. Their total health statistic is the only thing that increases by 1 and/or decreases by 1, on its own whim, each soft reset. Does anyone know if Happiny is shiny-locked? It seems to be, for me. I'm replaying Episode 15.

every pokemon in the game can be shiny, seems like you just don't have luck to get it quick just keep trying and you will eventually get it

Okay, I'll continue trying to soft-reset for a shiny Happiny. Every Happiny must be female only, I'd say. Thanks.

Happiny line is gender exclusive, like Tyrogue, if you want to breed Happiny from Chansey, you equip Luck Incense on Chansey

Right. Thanks for letting me know that, TimTim.

UPDATE: I now have a shiny Happiny. I soft-reset my game, talked to Happiny, accepted it as a party member, and then my game screen froze. When my game unfroze and I checked my party's final slot, I saw that I had received a shiny Happiny. Man, did it take me forever and two days to receive a shiny Happiny, though. I'm not sure if I want to evolve it or not. I could breed another shiny Happiny, I suppose.

What I did during my second gameplay for all event pokemon exclusives is to wait until I get the shiny charm to make it easier to hunt shinies.

[TheSilentSerenade]

That's a fantastic idea, Zeroneos. I will do that, also, when I reach that point in the game when, and where, I can get the shiny charm. In the meantime, I will still be shiny-hunting event Pokémon to encounter each event Pokémon in its shiny form.

The above post has a spoiler that tells you when you can get it, but to be more general and have less of a spoiler, I believe you can get it a bit after your eleventh Gym Badge.
