How to Get a Black Charizard in Pokemon

Nintendo's Pokemon games allow you to catch a wide variety of pokemon to raise battle against other trainers, enter contests, and win badges and ribbons. For the shrewd collector, it is often not enough to simply catch all of the pokemon, you must collect the rarest of the rare. In Generation IV, (Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum) you can get a Black Charizard. These differently colored species, or "shiny type" pokemon are very rare and hard to come by, with an encounter chance of only 1 in 8,192.
