    I read this thread having never heard of the a shiny/coloured pokemon before let alone seeing one. I came off the comp and just started walking around looking for one after 5 mins I found a green Golbat in the tunnel b4 the pokemon league. I just thought that was really strange anyway im gonna stop talking now

    In what all versions can you catch a shiney?
    I caught a Whuismur shiney!
    Where do you get shiney starters from? And how do you know if the starter is shiney?

    Please reply somebody,

    1. Don't double/multiple post

    2. Every version apart from R/B/Y (although you can find them but you don't know if you have lol)

    3. You keep restarting your game til you get a shiny and you know if you have it because it's a different colour

    4. You don't get Charizard in Ruby...

    In pokemon gold I once found a blue ghastly but I had just used up all my pokeballs :/ so I couldn't catch it. But anyway later in the game I found a green mankey and captured it :D

    I came across a shiny Zigzagoon in Ruby but I couldn't catch it because I didn't have the Pokedex and I couldn't buy any Poke'balls :(
    Unfortunately I haven't seen a shiny ever since... :dead:

    Other than comparing the colors, how can you tell right away that it's a shinny? Do they flash or sparkle?

    Because some shinnies don't look all that different...

    My One and Only Shiny..

    K, I don't really wanna be a member or something bcus I don't "hunt shinies" that much cus I don't play pkmn that much anymore... Kingdom Hearts is what I'm playing now.. but anyway my only shiny is a black zubat that I'm gonna evolve soon.. I've also caught a dark brown shiny zigzagoon on a ruby version but my friend erased it :( and I once saw a shiny meowth in the trainer tower in green leaf version and my other friend said he saw a silver caterpie one time...

    ^-^ weeee. I just got my first shiny. It was my daily routine of planting and collecting berries when suddenly I came across a Shiny Zigzagoon. I Paralized it and threw an Ultra Ball at it. Emerald Version ^-^
