  • My first shiny was a pidgey way back in my first playthrough of Silver I couldn't catch it though due to I had no Pokedex yet so I just fainted it :( but,10 years later I finally got a second chance this time with a Barboach and soon after that a Cacturne I caught both and I have also become a very lucky Masuda Method hatcher.

    My first shiny was in gold, i remember that much. It was either a drowzee or a butterfree. I dont remember which came first, but it was one of those. I think that file was the one my game died on, so i dont have either of them any more.

  • If I remember correctly, it was a Noctowl on G/S. It could've been a Flaaffy too, though. I found both on the route below Lake of Rage. :o

    Unfortunately my cartridge has lost its save so they are gone. :c

    I think the first shiny that wasn't a Red Gyarados of the Lake of Rage is a shiny Hoothoot. Good thing I already bought some Poké Balls because it's really early into the game.

  • If I recall correctly, it was a shiny Zubat in Pokémon Shiny Gold by Zel in the Dark cave.
    Ironically the second one was a shiny Golbat in Pokémon Sapphire in the Victory road.

    My first, non-hacked shiny was a shiny Rattata. My second would have been a Graveler, if the damned thing didn't explode before I could catch it. :|

  • I really could careless about shiny Pokemon (especially in Generation III and on wards) because for the most part, the shiny Pokemon are useless in competitve battle, but my first non-hacked shiny Pokemon was a Gastly when I accidently went the wrong way in Pokemon Silver

  • If I remember correctly, my first shiny was a Pidgeotto in LeafGreen, when I was searching for Pokemon in Berry Forest. It was later migrated to my brother's Platinum version. Aaaaaahhhhh... bragging rights....

    On my JAP Platinum, I just got the tracking app and I was looking for the three Legendaries, Zapdos, Moltres, and Articuno. All 3 of them were shiny. ZOMG!

    Other than the Red Gyarados, my first shiny was a Shiny Donphan on my Silver. Sadly, I lost that Silver, and the Shiny Donphan with it.

  • My first shiny is a bit different to just about everyone else's. During my first ever run through of Silver, I traded a Bellsprout for an shiny Onix with that guy in Violet City. Since I had never encountered anything like this before, I had no idea what was wrong with the Onix so I thought that it had been corrupted. As a result, I put it in my PC and never let it see the light of day again.

    Now that I know what shinies are, I would have cared for that Onix if I could do it all over again D:

  • Red Gyrados :D
    Which does not count. I found a Shiny Psyduck above Goldenrod a long time ago. At first I thought it was like, a glitch in the game or something. But now I have a shiny Golduck :D (Which isn't that useful in comparison to most other water Pokemon)

    My first (and only) was a shiny Caterpie; Ever since then, he's been my favorite shiny.

    Shiny Donphan in Silver, caught him at the Victory Road. Didn't know what shinies were at that time though
