Currently, I have done only 100 soft-resets, and still no Shiny Giratina. But I have a question, can I save after the "Giratina is quietly eyeing _______"? By what I've seen in videos, the overworld Giratina never appears as shiny, and you only see if it is shiny one you start battling it.

Currently I have my game saved one step away of the last floor in which when you step, Giratina comes for precautions, but it takes some time to soft-reset, give one step, wait for Giratina to come, click A for the boring text to go away, click A to talk to Giratina, and click A again to begin the battle.

So, I just wanna know for sure if I can save in front of Giratina. That would save me alot of trouble, and all I'd have to do is keeping to press A until I start battling it and then do R+L+Start+Select to soft-reset.

You can save right in front of him. I've done it. I tried getting a shiny Giratina, but I gave up after an hour.

But if you didn't actually get it, how can you be sure it'll work? confused.gif
What if I save it in front of Giratina and loose time for nothing crazy.gif

Better to risk it, it'll be less time lost if I actually get it... and all signs point to yes soooo... rolleyes.gif

Thanks, I'll save it in front of Giratina! grin.gif

Overworld sprites are never shiny, so it should be possible to get one that way.
But yeah the chances are VERY slim, so prepare for lots of soft-resetting. pinch.gif (I gave up on soft-resetting for a female starter in Ruby... of course after getting male Mudkips and Treeckos I suddenly got a female Torchick on my first try:3)
