4th Gen Shinies!

[materiaali]

So this thread is for your catched (or killed :D) shiny pokemon. I recently started Soulsilver and softresetted something like 400-500 times and got shiny chikorita. Now im trying to get a shiny magikarp, i've encountered 130 magikarps already and none of them has been shiny yet..

 

[Hiatus]

The total amount of shinies I've managed to get my hands on in fourth generation games is about fifteen, I think. If you exclude shiny Gyarados (I've had two--one in HG and the other in SS), then it should be somewhere around thirteen. Out of the ones I've caught, my most favorite would have to be shiny Metagross.

The first Shiny I ever saw in Soulsilver was a Magikarp! Unfortunately, I made it faint ;n;
Aside from the Shiny Gyarados, I was able to catch a Shiny Grimer, and TODAY, a shiny Abra! I'm so happy about the Abra because I planned to get an Abra for my team, so finding this lil guy was absolutely awesome! =w=

I don't think I have caught a shiny Pokemon other than shiny Gyarados in any of the Fourth Generation of games, unfortunately. :C

 

[Puddle]

Everyone's talking about Shinies from HG/SS.
Mann, my first ever shiny was a shiny Kricketune in Diamond.

 

[Evening]

I only have two.

Gyarados from HGSS, and Giratina from Platinum.

 

[Treetwig]

I have a tons of shiny on gen.4 :D

Platinum:Giratina(It took me 5 days before getting this
baby),Uxie(3 days for this one),Psyduck,Electivire,Gallade,Bidoof,Starly,Riolu,Budew and zubat

HG:Gyarados (Red gyarados ftw) Hoothoot,Zubat,rattata,Aipom,Tailow and pinsir.

And yes they are legit

 

[Hikamaru]

I have collected 3 shinies on my brother's Diamond - a Graveler, Budew and U-form Unown.

And also I have 3 more on my SoulSilver - a Farfetch'd, another Graveler and also the obvious Red Gyarados from the Lake of Rage. 4th Gen was quite generous to me in terms of shinies even though I recently obtained 3 shinies in quite short time in X.

 

[Venitardus]

Other then the red gyarados (which I don't really count), I only caught one shiny and that was a lvl 22(?) staravia in my diamond.

 

[Kikaito plush]

In peral I caught an Shiny bidoof/Snesal and Zubat.
In SoulSivler I did not catch any.

 

[She_Delphox]

Well, I managed to obtain a Shiny Ponyta (Rapidash) in my Pokemon Diamond game and a Shiny Staravia (Staraptor) and Shinx (Luxray) in Pokemon Platinum :)
In HeartGold I caught a Shiny Zubat (Crobat), Graveler (Victory Road rofl), Tentacool (Tentacruel) and Hoothoot (Noctowl).

Since I was quite young at the time I never took the Pokeradar seriously in the Gen.4 games, now that I'm older (and currently am an active shiny hunter in my Pokemon X game) I might give the PokeRadar a shot in Platinum sometime too! :)

Let's see…here are all the shiny Pokémon I can name that i've found in Generation IV.

Fearow (Pearl, Route 225 I think, October 2007)
Golbat (Platinum, Stark Mountain, May 2009)
Kyogre (Heart Gold, Embedded Tower, June 2011) <----- You can bet I orgasm'd upon finding this one.
Luvdisc (Heart Gold, Route 27, July 2011)
Swinub (Platinum, Acuity Lakefront, March 2013) <----- Found this during a Wedlocke.
Roselia (Platinum, Route 221, September 2013) <----- Found this during a Ground Monotype.
I also vaguely recall getting a shiny Absol in Pearl, although my recollection of that might have just been me attempting to chain for one. Not certain.

Sadly, I have yet to find a single shiny using the Poké Radar. I just keep breaking streak around 27 or so, sometimes way earlier. =( But those are all i've gotten my hands on.

 

[Sheep]

I had a few shinies from chaining back in the Diamond & Pearl days! A few Pichu, a Shinx, and a couple of others I'm forgetting. Wish I wasn't a sillynilly and didn't restart the game.. :(

 

[materiaali]

FINALLY! Got shiny magikarp after 543 random encounters! Hasty nature, pretty good nature imo. Wow i tought i'll have to do this for a month or something like that. ^^

 

[Hainline15]

Even though i have caught many in Pokemon y, i have never found a shiny in any of the gen 4 games (besides Gyarados!)

haha, congratulations! ... I've caught a shiny Wooper in the Great Marsh in Diamond and fainted a shiny Steelix in Victory Road in Platinum! My Garchomp went all overkill with the Dragon Claw... (Critical Hit) xD

 

[bobandbill]

I've found two shiny Pokemon besides Gyarados in HGSS (both on monotype runs, huh) - a Donphan and a Miltank. :)

But in DPPt? Oh boy, where to begin... dumb luck has netted me a Tentacool, but I've chained several Pokemon (from Shinx to Magnemite to Eevee), and also made a bunch of trades for some too. Last one I chained was a Lotad. =)

 

[WonderfulWhiscash]

Back in my old game of platinum when I was 9, I found a shiny cascoon. Not understanding how rare it really was, I didnt use it or evolve it. Then my game glitched and broke, so I never traded it because I was scared of that happening to other games.

 

[Natnew]

one ralts and two geodude. the ralts and one geodude were chaned within 10 hours of eachother and the other geodude on an emulated run.

 

[Golurks Were Meant to Fly]

Besides the red gyarados the shinies I've encountered have been mostly when I was doing my shiny challenge. I got a shiny totodile, eevee, beedrill, and an abra from what I remember. And in diamond I had the luck of getting a shiny bibarel haha.
