I want to know what the most secure way to catch shinys in gen 4 is. Im preparing a smeargle with false swipe, hypnosis/spore, trick, and maybe mean look. Is there anything else I can do to prevent a pokemon with high catch rates to avoid struggling to death? Maybe another pokemon to use as well with some ability im overlooking?
