The Official Shiny Thread

[Ensiger]

I've actually gotten quite a few shinies in HG. My first was shiny Sudowoodo =)

Second was a shiny Scyther in the Bug Catching Contest (the first and only time I caught/found a Scyther in that stupid contest >.>).

3rd was a shiny Swinub on my way to Claire (in that icy cave with the Kimono Girl and HM Waterfall).

4th was a SR'd Adamant Ho-Oh with a 30 atk IV (I know, insane =P).

I got my first shiny in Emerald. I was in New Mauville and was getting annoyed that the pokeballs on the floor kept being voltorb even though voltorbs are about a foot high and pokeballs are only about 10cm. When I found the fourth one I was sooo cross until I saw it was blue! It had a naughty nature and was lvl 25.

Currently I'm trying to get a shiny Ho-oh. I've been trying since Friday.

I've been using a Japanese Ditto for all my breeding since I first started breeding Pokémon on Diamond, but I'm just now sitting down and specifically trying to breed a shiny. This is going to take a while, isn't it? :/

Unfortunately it does. *pokes Japanese Ditto with a stick*

I have yet to breed a shiny, and the one I've ever caught was a Nosepass. In my Heart Gold game, I saw a shiny Hoothoot before I was able to get pokeballs ... so I'm still a little bitter about that.

I'm sure in some of my older gameboy cartradiges I have had a few shinies. Looking at the sprites, I remember having a couple, but I just can't remember since I haven't played in so long and I don't have them anymore.

My first shiny was Charmander (well besides the Pichu event from gamestop.) on pearl because someone had created (hacked) me a Charmander so I could play with it on my own. Just because breeding one was taking way too long. ^^; But, my first legit shiny I just got while breeding Japanese Ditto with Growlithe, and I am ever so pleased! Took over 30+ eggs, which isn't so bad since I've seen some people breed over 60 eggs with no shinies.

I don't have any on HG yet since I'm still fairly early in the game, and chaining pokémon on Pearl is so hard for me. Highest chain yet is 23. >.> No shinies yet from chains.

I have the best shiny ever... No exceptions, it's a shiny gold geodude I got it on pearl randomly before battling roark xP it looks like a little rock of gold with arms and a face :D I also accidently pressed run instead of bag when I found a shiny green pelipper near stark mountain (the water part) such a shame, I guess it had about 5-10HP left xD oh and btw, what do you mean when you say "chaining"?

I just broke a chain of 35 Smeargle ;__; I almost cried! I would kill for a shiny Smeargle~~

 

[zefith]

LOL the only shiny that i caught myself was a shiny Bibabarel. I mean of all the ones i could get...

 

[FalconsDrummer]

Today I have learned that I am absolutely terrible at chaining. The longest chain I've ever been able to maintain was 20, and that was before I even knew what the PokéRadar was actually for...

 

[Envoirment]

Woo, was Ev training and caught a shiny zubat :D First shiny caught ever hehe :)

 

[Buzimu]
