Brien October 11th, 2008 7:58 AM

He said I should breed him a decent Lotad while Im at it.

Of course, I told him I would get the first one and he would get the second one...

I've heard of this happening before. If the Emerald you have was used when you got it, there probable used a hacking device like gameshark on it. Useing hacking devices can accualy rewrite the program permently even when its not what it was intendid for. Its also possible that you have a pokemon emerald rom hack that make vibrave shiny for no apparant reason.

Okay, so I was just experimenting with the Arceus event with my AR( I don't do anything with the Arceus ) so I battled one in the Hall of Origin. Guess what. It was shiny on the first try! I didn't even use the shiny code! I just decided to toss a luxury ball at it for the heck of it, and before I knew it, it captured Arceus! I guess I'm really lucky.

Mikau1 October 11th, 2008 9:05 AM

well, i played my emerald on the actual gba handheld console so i dont think that it would be hacked

Kamakazai October 11th, 2008 9:21 AM

well i don't really know then

Blaine's Best Student October 11th, 2008 1:58 PM

without cheating Ive seen three shinies in my lifetime, 1st was on crystal it was a shiny ditto, the second time was on fire red and it was a zubat, and the third time was on ruby and it was a whishmr

Azonic October 12th, 2008 5:04 AM

I've caught a shiny Rhyhorn in the Safari Zone. It was a dull pink. :3

Unfortunately, I accidentally saved over my data and now that Rhyhorn is gone. ;_;

tailsrules80 October 12th, 2008 5:33 AM

I found a shiny unown (i) on pokemon firered. Used pal-park to put it on pokemon pearl

Never seen any other shiny pokemon though >_<

Bonzai-Cat October 18th, 2008 6:51 PM

Just today I had a strange coincidence with my Poke'mon Leaf green game.
Last night I had some strange dream I was playing my pokemon game (yeah you know your a nerd when) and I dreamed I caught a Shiny Red Gyrados that for some reason was slightly stronger than regular Gyrados and it knew Dragons Claw, Fire Blast, thunderwave and I forget the last one.

Anways I forget the rest of the dream but the coincidence is this morning I was playing my game and I was training my Starmie in Victory cave and I ran into another Shiny Machoke. O_O

p.s. I caught the Machoke

Lalapizzame October 20th, 2008 4:12 PM

Well I did catch a Shiny Wurmple, it was erm ugly. Very very ugly, and the only reason I was catching it, was because I restarted my game. That was because I drained my old save file of the strong pokes and basically made all the pokemon remaining look so weak.

So really, I hated the Wurmple but it was like the only Shiny poke I had, besides this one Magikarp, which was Modest nature. ._.

Xenart October 20th, 2008 4:23 PM

I was raising a Totodile in Firered (no not a hack trade from emerald for completing pokedex) so anyways While I was raising it, I had come across a shiny Spearow and I didn't have any pokeballs so I couldn't catch it. So lesson learned here, is always have pokeballs with you.

smellybellysrock October 20th, 2008 5:58 PM

first shiny was a zubat
second was a shiny sneasel

then to my bad luck i found....... a shiny delibird without any pokeballs. i was ready to toss my ds at the wall and hang off the telephone wires till i blow up.

Dragonking_ShinyElite October 21st, 2008 1:46 AM

I'm trying to find a shiny Poochyena. Been looking on Route 103 as it appears more often in sapphire. I would try Emerald but I haven't gotten a shiny out of it in over 3 years.

eing15 October 21st, 2008 9:47 AM

Mi first pokémon shiny was a duskull, and I catched it! :)

After that, I see more, ratata, pidgey,zubat, ryhorn...etc
But I never see/catch one pokémon legenday shiny :(

yuki3056 October 27th, 2008 12:23 PM

In sapphire i was hunting for a bagon and kept getting golbats and the first bagon i saw was a shiny one i was so excited i threw my master ball at it and had to trade the one from emerald to catch latias lol

Hikari Ven October 27th, 2008 6:23 PM

My shinies are in my signature. I've been SRing for shiny Lileep in Emerald, the one that gave me my second shiny Torchic(the first is now a Blaziken). Also have several other targets in various games, but no shinies yet.

Dukey October 27th, 2008 9:55 PM

Shiny Shuppet outside Safari zone in Sapphire, oh and in Ruby when I battled Poochyena when he was attacking the prof IT WAS SHINY!!! I was pissed as hell

Daemon6 October 27th, 2008 10:10 PM

First shiny i ever got was a poochyena in emerald.
I was trying to AVOID the grass but there was a part
where i had to. i wasn't expecting that.

Barney. October 28th, 2008 3:33 AM

On the GBA Versions I've only had 2 shinies:

1. Shiny tentacool (Evolved into tentacruel) on my LG I was just surfing and I found one, wasn't trying.
2. Shiny Zubat on my Saphirre, Again just in a cave (Can't remember which) and found one.

Hawkfish October 28th, 2008 7:59 AM

I only saw one shiny a Nidoran and I didn't catch it on accident. Blame Safari zone. And back then I was a n00b and didn't know what a shiny was also. I might have put a little more effort in catching it.

Kozoi October 29th, 2008 10:45 AM

Uhm on FR/LG/E/R/S/ Ive had no luck, i can chain shinies on D/P though.

I've got loads of shinies on D/P.

Once on silver i also found a shiny unown which was blue i think... i freaked and ran like a newb.

maxx unlimited November 1st, 2008 3:22 PM

A Gastly in Leafgreen and a Hairyama in Emerald.

JezzaRules November 7th, 2008 2:01 AM

In Fire Red, I found a shiny Weedle which I evolved into a Beedrill. That was on GBA.

In Emerald, the only shiny I cheated for is an Eevee for the lolz (I only used the cheat to encounter Eevee but not the shiny cheat however *since I dont have it*.)
http://i533.photobucket.com/albums/ee336/JezzaRules/PapaEevee.jpg
I had like 5 other normal eevees that I evolved into Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon and Umbreon respectively =D.

Vuallum November 8th, 2008 12:10 AM

One time I was taking a challenge from another forum, I encountered a Shiny Hariyama, luckily I had a sleeping pokemon in the lead so it was caught.
More recently on my Ruby, I was searching for Latios on the route north of slateport, doing the encounter 5 pokemon then enter bike house and exit repeat method, first I got a shiny electrike and was like "WTF?" and managed to catch it, and continued the search. Two more repeats of the method later a green minun appears, and I go "wow, hax" and catch it.

So, I have 3 3rd gen shinies, and they're all Hoenn pokes :P Didn't end up getting that Latios from Ruby yet though.

~Darklight~ November 8th, 2008 12:28 AM

TwilightBlade November 9th, 2008 11:26 AM

Pics are worth a thousand words?

I have 4 shinies from the third gen. They are Poochyena, Pidgey, Lugia, and Ho-oh. I'm too lazy to talk about them, so read the info on my account if you care.

Currently I'm (casually 8D) hunting for:
FireRed - Articuno
Emerald - Cyndaquil

Vernikova November 9th, 2008 11:44 AM

A shiny Spinda I found somewhere near Fallarbor. I caught it and never used it again.

.Eevee-Chan November 9th, 2008 12:33 PM

I found a shiny Oddish in my Sapphire,Sharpedo(omg purple! XDD),and a Poocheyna in the beginning of the game,but i didn't catch it because it was before the Pokedex T.T

Braeden23000 November 10th, 2008 1:11 PM

I recently found a shiny Absol, but I ran out of balls, as i had only 3 pokeballs and 2 great balls with me at that time, other shinys i found were slugma and zubat. Im looking for a shiny electrike.

lmfaomarie November 10th, 2008 5:10 PM

Hmm. I saw a shiny Wingull and a shiny....Makuhita. =D Caught em both hehe.

Noisuf Ekop 993 November 11th, 2008 8:54 AM

My first shiny was a Swablu in Emerald. It is now an Altaria (which, btw, looks kick-ass in shiny form).

I encountered another, but when do I encounter it? The safari zone. Of course, my luck..... It was a Zatu. Damn you safari balls.....

Black Dunsparce November 23rd, 2008 7:22 AM

Quick question, and I apologize if it has already been mentioned or answered:
Can you find, or have ever found a Black shiny pokemon? Because I would love to get me a black dunsparce!

Sorry for double posting, but the forum won't allow me to edit my post so...
I caught a shiny blue Girafarig in Crystal in Lake of Rage. Caught a shiny purple Spheal in Ruby and just shall a shiny green Espeon held by the first set of Twin Trainers in the Battle Tower in Double Team Mode. I really wish I had an Action Replay instead of a GameShark so I could had caught that Espeon in LeafGreen.

starryday November 24th, 2008 12:50 PM

I have a shiny Cacnea. Not the most interesting thing but it's something.
