6th Gen How was your first X/Y Shiny Encounter? (If you still remember)

[Powerserge]

I got my first shiny in Y just a few moments ago. I just hatched a shiny ekans. It is so cute. looks like a garden snake.

I was so mad last night, because I was teaching my roommate how to breed and hatch eggs quickly, and he ended up hatching a shiny eevee only 30 minutes after he started hatching eggs for the first time.

I was...in that one route with the Day Care when I ran into a shiny Illumise. Caught her and named her Catherine after the character in the Atlus game. (and also the non shiny Illumise has the same color scheme as Katherine)

My first shiny ever was a shiny marill on crystal version, it was because of one of those phone calls about the unusual amount of XXXXX pokemon, so I went hunting for marills, I remember at the time, aside from the red gyarados, I didn't even know that there existed shiny pokemon, I just remember catching it because "I think its green?". Good memories!


But to get to the point, I saw someone needed a kricketot yesterday after wonder trading with them, and when I went to trade one to them they offered a shiny psyduck, I traded them and then caught a pokemon nicknamed it "il trade for junk" and then managed to give them back their blue duck for a regular hippopotas, I was just trying to be a good samaritan and didn't want to take something I wasn't looking for.

First? My mean my only?
Lel, it was a Shiny Eevee that I hatched for someone.

Mine would be a shiny Poliwag, after 100+ Poliwags through Chain Fishing obviously.

While my first Masuda Method was a Grimer that I was breeding for a friend. Good lord, the green blob gave me a shock.

First random encounter was a Derpfisk while searching for the three Pokemon at someone's Friend Safari. It was so unnoticeable, good thing I was wearing headphones when the shiny sound effect plays.

My very first was a chained fish relicath but non chain fish was furfrou at a chain of 41 i believe or gulpin through chaining( which is now a really strong shiny swaot for my competitive team)

This is embarrasing but.....

My first experience in Pokemon X was through the Special Gengar event, but I have been on a shiny hunt ever since. Some guy wonder traded me a shiny slowpoke which evolved into Slowking after that! Τhen I traded my Growlithe for a shiny Clauncher in the GTS (it's a Clawitzer now ^_^)! Through the trades I have had a shiny Darkrai and Kyogre, a Heracross a Gliscor and a Skrelp (which I kept and evolved into Dragalge). Now I try to complete the Pokedex so that I can obtain the Shiny Charm and make my life easier in breeding/encounters.

My first and only shiny encounter during all three of my play-throughs was during a Horde encounter within the Frost Cavern it was a shiny Smoochum!

I was doing some EV training as I'm terrible at S.T..

At first I thought it was another simple Surf to wipe them all out but before I could attack I noticed the one on the left was lighter in colour so I made an effort to kill them one by one before catching it in a Pokéball.

I don't own her anymore, I traded her away to a friend on these forums.. I wonder where she is now.. :D

After chain fishing for 3 hours I finally saw my first shiny gyrados, 1 hit ko'd it with my level 20 pikachu! Haven't seen a shiny since

 

[Disolia]

My first shiny encounter was in the original ruby version when I ran into a completely by chance shiny Aron! It surprised me at the time, as I wasn't even sure what a shiny was, or why this Pokemon was of a complete different colour palette, and it wouldn't be until later when my friend informed me, that I would realize that I had just caught something rather special!

 

[Warspirit]

My first was a shiny skiddo when I had originally came to the area to chain for shiny furfrou. Didn't mind it though

 

[Red_wolf1998]

My very first shiny was back in Sapphire version on the Gameboy Advance.

A damn Tentacool...

So disappointed now :(

 

[Odyssey]

My first Shiny in X is a Floatzel. I found it while on the road to the 7th Gym. It's also the only Floatzel I've seen in the game.

Because of that, this left me very cautious and stay away from any location that involves Floatzels... makes me wish that I've never seen it in the first place. :P

 

[Dreg]

The first shiny I got was an hour ago, was a Luvdisc at fishing chain 83. I did my trademark "Whoop there it is!" when I found it XD

Thing is, I had to use an ultra ball right from the start. False Swipe was suicide if it used take down afterwards. Wasn't taking the risk.

 

[Frostinite]

My first shiny pokemon was in the safari zone!
It was a Togepi! Before i'd even seen my first wild Togepi!
That Omelette came straight out of Heaven!

 

[SparklingMistral]

It was actually pretty surprising. I was searching for a Contrary Spinda in hordes, and then all of a sudden, a shiny Spinda shows up! :D It wasn't Contrary, as I found out after catching it, but that wasn't going to stop me from catching it. xD

 

[SunakazeKun]

My first shiny was Murkrow. I got it via Horde Encounters.
Shiny Pokémon aren't that rare for me, because I get one everytime. :o

 

[frogjitsu]

The only shiny I've caught was a shiny Noctowl in Diamond.

 

[PeckanPie]

Still haven't managed to get one in Y. Tried for so long but nothing seemed to work.

Most important shiny I remember having though was my Walrein in Ruby, which I caught as a babby.
