Tricks and tips for having the optimum "Pokémon Omega Ruby" and "Alpha Sapphire" experience have been flying around the online world, and gamers should not skip even one. The newest set of guides involves acquiring a shiny Pokémon. Thanks to iDigital Times and IB Times, these coveted creatures are not out of players' reach and sight anymore. A shiny Pokémon has a gleaming aura around it. As rare as they are, these useful methods will lessen the hassle of locating one or two of the slew of them in the "Pokemon ORAS" universe. 

Anything can be done with patience. First, players can go for the standard method, which entails waiting by the tall grass until a shiny Pokémon shows up. By 4,096, players can expect their efforts to come into fruition, so this method will make everyone wish they have all the luck in the Pokémon world. But if players are unable to make one emerge after waiting, they can always breed one for themselves. This leads to trades between players across the world. By relying on the Masuda method, courtesy of Pokémon developer Junichi Masuda, two Pokémon from different parts of the world should be paired up until the shiny Pokémon hatches. The possibility of this working out is no more than 1 in 1,365.3. 

More patience is required when players decide to take on the DexNav Chaining. Players should have caught a shiny Pokémon before carrying on. It will then show up in the DexNav. From there, players need to get a good amount of repels to shun wild Pokémon in their way. Running into one would break the chain and they would not want that. From there, an Encounter Rate to about 30-40 should be acquired. 

When the chain is fired up, it will be the best time to locate the Pokémon, employ the repels and trail it. Once an encounter is established, players can either faint or catch the Pokémon. A no-no in this method is losing ground as this will render a player's efforts in vain. 

Another method to try is the Chaining Fish method. This will need a Pokémon with Suction Cups ability at the forefront and a rod. By then, players will be able to fish for a shiny Pokémon. They just have to make sure they keep still or the chain will break. For players who have completed the National Pokédex, they will be endowed the shiny charm that will help them substantially increase their encounter rate with shiny Pokémon.

On the other hand, locating Mega Stones is made easy with a new video guide shared by the Pokémon Company itself. It turns out there are easy ways to evolve a player's Pokémon roster and acquire Pokémon like Snivy, Tepig, and Oshawott.
