Your game isn’t defective. It’s just really hard to get a shiny in Platinum, especially seeing as the Shiny Charm doesn’t exist there.

It’s easier to shiny hunt with the Poke Radar. Encountering the same Pokemon in a row increases the chances of getting a shiny. The chances will still be low, but better than full odds.

For static encounters, use a method called “soft resetting”: save then initiate battle. If it’s shiny, well done. If not, turn off the game to go back to your last save. Keep doing this until you get a shiny.

Hope I helped!

Well, with full odds, the shiny chance in Platinum is 1/8192 chance, which is pretty low. You’ve just been having bad luck.

Good luck on getting the shiny! :)

Hope this helps! :)
