    I kept looking for them... it took me nearly 7 months before I eventually found one.. And it was a great one.. SHINY feebas!! Beat all the trouble for finding it. All those months of hard work eventually paid off. xD

    Should mention the shiny Geodude I caught on Fire Red last week, that makes 2 shinies I now caught in-game so far with the other being a shiny Rattata in Leaf Green.

    Then there is pokeradar chaining....
    I loved that, because it allows you to get so many shinies and even get them the wanted nature 50% of the time.. all you needed was patience, devotion and a full understanding of how it works.
    I wish they would bring it back :( AND make it work while surfing...

    Although PokéRadar sounds fun and "profitable" it sort of takes away the meaning of shinies. Shinies are intended as "trophies" and are supposed to be rare. If everybody can get 20 shinies, then that destroys the whole point and value of shinies, in my opinion.

    I would probably be addicted to PokéRadar though, if I could figure out how it works and if I wasn't too impatient.

  • I seem to encounter one in almost each game (much like Pokerus...) though one's I've caught other than Red Gyrados in Ss have been a Zigzagoon now Linoone in Sapphire, Abra now Alakasm in Soulsilver, and Lilipup's second stage in White.

    First Shiny was A Shinx. I was in the lunch room at school, with my two friends watching. When I saw those sparkles, I crapped my pants a million times. Seriously, I almost got out of my chair and screamed.
    I caught a Starivia in Platinum also, using Pokeradar Chaining.
    I have two VGC Eevees, one of which is a Flareon.
    I have a Shiny Liepard.
    Winter Suicune.
    Red Gyrados.

    Your school let you play pokemon at lunch? 0.o or were you being sneaky xDDD

    I know this is probably something really obvious but what is a Winter Suicune? Is it a shiny Suicune or what?

  • A shiny Pidgey in LG :D I haven't really done much with him. Wish I'd known about EV training back then but it's too late now. :P He's now a Pidgeotto and resides in my HG game.

    In SoulSilver I ended up getting a shiny Totodile as my starter. I didn't even realize it was shiny until I was a bit into the game because the idea of a shiny was so new to me. If I've ever caught a shiny in my other games (Ruby, Sapphire, and LeafGreen) I don't know about it cause I hadn't thought of the concept.

  • Well, since I consider myself quite the MM'er (in Black at least), I've got a bit of a list:

    -Shiny Arcanine from Diamond (chained)
    -Shiny Gurdurr from Black (random)
    -Shiny Swablu from Black (this one, funnily enough, was a random hatch. I wasn't even trying for a shiny)
    -Shiny Milotic from Black (MM'd)
    -Shiny Growlithex2 from Black (MM'd. wanted one with Close Combat, ended up with twins sklfjsdlf.)
    -Shiny Trapinch from Black

    aaaaaand that's it. For now anyway, been trying to MM a Turtwig on Black as well.

    My first shiny was a Starly in Pearl. Had pretty decent IV's, too. But it didn't really excite me because I had RNG'd shinies before, so the thrill was reduced

  • Like... all the shiny Pokemon I own are caught/bred legitimately. I've too many to list but I do remember some of my caught ones. Fire Red was probably one of my first shiny Pokemon, it was an Ekans. n___n I didn't even know, because I'd literally just started to play Pokemon and thought it was an error. On the same game I found a shiny Jigglypuff which was impossible to tell if it was shiny since I was looking away then the sparkle occurred I caught it anyway. A Snover in Diamond which I nearly killed. In Black I found a shiny Durant. None of them had good natures/Iv's so now I think they're just rotting away on my Pokemon Diamond. :x Except Durant who was erased. They're the only Pokemon which I mostly remember and didn't try for.

    I caught a shiny Pikachu in Fire Red which took literally 3 hours and that I didn't intend to find a shiny one. In Silver I caught a shiny Heracross don't know how long it took because it was years ago :/

    RNG abuse aside, I have caught a few random encounter shinys. My first was a shiny Voltorb in Sapphire, which I ended up evolving and trading away when I first started trading way back when. In either HeartGold or SoulSilver I managed to catch a shiny Swinub, which I just kept in my box and never evolved. In a playthrough of Ruby I was doing recently I had just started out and found a shiny Shroomish in Petalburg Woods. I decided to ditch my Treecko and used it instead. I evolved it and now it is sitting in my Diamond cartridge waiting to be transferred to White.
