Charizard★ November 16th, 2009 3:39 PM

My first shiny was a Dialga. I was so happy lol xD

La Foudre November 16th, 2009 3:40 PM

The first pokemon I caught in Platinum was a shiny Bidoof.

Elysium-a November 16th, 2009 3:41 PM

Haha wow, you guys are lucky. :P

My first shiny was a camerupt ;)

Ochigi November 16th, 2009 3:43 PM

Mine was my piplup in my old pearl...I WAS SO HAPPY I CRIED!
NO LIE!I didn't use AR or anything.I was just lucky.

Kotone November 16th, 2009 6:31 PM

my first shiny was my shinx xD

Sarru November 16th, 2009 6:37 PM

Oh no. Your not alone. Ive never caught or seen a wild shiny (besides red Gyrados in GSC). =(
I hope my day comes sooner or later...

Alternative November 16th, 2009 7:02 PM

I've had a few shinies in my time, but my first was a Golbat, which I found on the way to Snowpoint City.

ixvamp November 16th, 2009 7:24 PM

Feebas :). That was really lucky >.<

Syrex November 16th, 2009 9:20 PM

My first was a Shiny Scyther... I was pretty proud.

power321 November 16th, 2009 10:28 PM

First one was a shiny Psyduck.

heatman2477 November 16th, 2009 10:39 PM

My first shiny was a Golbat caught on iron island on Pokemon Pearl. :)

lucario072 November 17th, 2009 1:02 AM

i caught a shiny zubat on route 203
now it is a shiny crobat

Gimmepienow November 17th, 2009 2:42 AM

The Red Gyarados in G/S/C.....
Never saw or caught a shiny, ever....

Moltres111 November 17th, 2009 4:36 AM

Whoa. Whoa. Perfect thread. I just caught a SHINY DIGLETT in my friend's game. YAY YAY YAY! It's Docile, and of course, Sand Veil. But it's shiny, so it doesen't matter. :D :D :D
And I had only ONE poke ball left, so I was praying I would be able to catch it. I weakened it with two Bites from my Meowth, hoped I wouldn't get a lame crit, and then I threw my last Poke Ball.
*shake*, *shake*, *shake*. Dun dada dun dada dun dada dada dun... I just caught myself.. a SHINY DIGLETT!

My first ever shiny was a Weedle in FireRed that I can't remember what I did with.

The second one was a shiny Gyarados in Emerald.

The third one was a shiny Meowth I saw in Emerald's Trainer Tower. Not mine though

The fourth one was a shiny Stunky in my destroyed Diamond ROM. R.I.P.

The fifth one was the Diglett.

I'm quite lucky. None of these were chained at all. Whenever I try to chain it just doesen't work out, so i'll have to rely on getting random shinies. Which is what happened today. <3 <3 <3

SCV058 November 17th, 2009 6:14 AM

I've never seen a shiny in one of my games...

Mutt19 November 17th, 2009 6:16 AM

My first shiny was machoke but for some reason whenever I use it it hurts itself so I traded it for a level 60 milotic :)

ReiXMinako November 17th, 2009 6:17 AM

Shiny Rhydon :) Then I got a shiny Ponyta.

mondays suck November 17th, 2009 6:22 AM

Shiny Graveler in the high 20s between Celestic and Mount Coronet while grinding something. Used the Masterball, but it was mild, which means useless.

empty streets November 17th, 2009 6:44 AM

Wtf. So many people have shinies. I haven't seen one in my Diamond game even once >_> Neither do I have traded ones.

icycatelf November 17th, 2009 12:11 PM

My firsy shiny encounter in Diamond was Graveller, but it exploded, so...
However, later that same day, I encountered a shiny Machoke and caught it.

On Pearl, my first shiny was Gastly. (My first shiny from the DP series)

Platinum... I don't think I've found any yet.

AuraAshley November 17th, 2009 12:20 PM

my first shiny in pokemon platinum was a shiny scyther

ToffeeT November 17th, 2009 2:53 PM

My first shiny was a shiny larvitar... I was soooooo excited!

Haruka of Hoenn November 17th, 2009 2:55 PM

In Platinum, the first Shiny I got was Baltoy. (In fact, it was the first shiny I got by myself. The other shinies I have were traded :P) I was randomly using the PokeRadar one day, and on the fifth round or so, a shiny patch comes up.

kreechurkid November 17th, 2009 3:05 PM

I remeber a few months before I caught my shiny, I was mad since I saw so many people with shiny pokemon. While I was running across the grass from Hearthome to Oreburgh (by the Berry Master house) I saw it... a shiny, blue Psyduck! I quickly took out my Garchomp with Flase Swipe and caught it.

After that, I was very happy. I started EV training my hoothoot in the old chateau for a few days. It was the afternoon and I was watching the news when I looked at my DS and BOOM! - a shiny Gastly. It was my Naive personality that didn't see it, and it was too late: my Hoothoot used confusion. Dead. Forever.

After that, I was like, "Okay." I decided to start radaring pokemon and went to the rainy route next to Pastoria to get grimer and I came across Kricketune, except it was gold. That was in September this year, too. I quickly caught it, and it is now a trophy.

The rest of my shiny pokemon are just traded...

GlitchCity November 17th, 2009 4:39 PM

My first shiny was a slowpoke in my crystal version :D
but sadly I havent caught a shiny in the DPPt games yet :[

DarkAlucard November 17th, 2009 5:11 PM

Lol, all you crazy young'ns with your pokeradars n whatnot xD
Back in my day, you just got lucky =P

I got, like, a crazy story. On my birthday, I caught a shiny duskull, and a shiny linoone =3

Of course, my first was a shiny tentacool...

frenchtoast November 17th, 2009 10:18 PM

I got a shiny gastrodon. Kind of a shame that it had to be that pokemon though. I've always hated it 'cause it's just so gross looking.

SilverStilletto November 17th, 2009 10:29 PM

me very first shiny ever... Lake of Rage Gyarados in Gold. next... used AR to make all me pokemon shiny, but didnt save with the cheat on coz i dont like how somepokemon look shiny. (so the only shinies ive ever caught were non-AR) so then... the next (and last) one was a ponyta, i think it was between Solaceon and Celestic? between the breeder town and the elder town. no chaining, (havent beaten me replay yet) just random.

Fire Eagle November 18th, 2009 1:11 PM

My first shiny Pokemon was a shiny Shellos; west. The Pokemon to me was useless since I have a Bibarel to learn Surf.

BlueShuckle November 18th, 2009 4:24 PM

My first shiny ever was an Oddish in Emerald.
My first shiny in Platinum was a Shinx, after a chain of 48.

Giratar November 18th, 2009 6:39 PM

In Platinum: My first was a Rhyhorn, then I found a Scyther, and above all, a shiny Uxie. Then while fishing for a Lv.100 Magikarp at the Resort Area, I found a shiny golden Magikarp, which is now a red Gyarados! :D

In Diamond: A Chingling so far....

My very first shiny: A yellow Seaking in FireRed at the Safari Zone, but it doesn't really matter here. Just thought I'd put it here.

Ash987 November 18th, 2009 7:03 PM

My first shiny was a Mantyke. It hatched from an egg. It was funny because at the time it hatched while I was chaining, I didn't look at it till after my chain died. I looked at all the summary boxes then looked at the picture and just noticed it was a shiny.

Slo November 18th, 2009 7:13 PM

Shiny Ralts with amazing IV's.
The only shiny I have caught to date but thats just fine because this one is one in a 1,000,000. Still using him in my team.

BahamutH November 18th, 2009 7:24 PM

what was my first shiny... oh I remember, in fire red a shiny spearrow which I called wind ^^

afterwards I caught no other shiny till my shiny wishcas in platinum...

ultimatelucariotrainer November 18th, 2009 7:53 PM

The first shiny i got was off my action replay.... Shiny regirock, getting pissed off at it, now level 100.

Aaron40 November 19th, 2009 2:47 AM

My first shiny was a turtwig, I Started a new game and picked turtwig for my starter and it was a shiny.
I have never caught a shiny in the wild, how does the Pokerader chain work is there some kind of pattern or is it just luck, I don't really know how you find shinys, for me it is impossible.

KATFiSH November 19th, 2009 10:34 AM

I caught a shiny Golbat once upon a time. :P

Water Pokémon Specialist November 19th, 2009 10:43 AM

I can't remember which came first, but I have only ever had two- Banette & Graveler, the graveler was found in Victory Road.

Cheesymitten November 19th, 2009 10:53 AM

Mine was a Purugly
Mmm purple :P
I think i was attempting to find one by chaining for some random pokemon when it broke my chain =(
But then i realised it was a shiny 8)

560cool. November 19th, 2009 12:14 PM

My 1st was a Swablu .
But I had no balls . I almost torn my DS apart screaming 'WHY ? WHY ???' and slamming it on the floor ... ;)

Poke'Girl November 19th, 2009 3:02 PM

Neptune November 25th, 2009 5:31 AM

My first shiny was a Zubat in LG..xDDD

RockTheArena November 25th, 2009 6:01 AM

I've never caught a shiny ):
I did see a shiny Minun in Sapphire, but I fainted it...

NairbX November 25th, 2009 9:37 AM

Well my first shiny ever was that shiny gamestop zigzagoon. but my first shiny i caught myself was a shiny pidgey in fire red. it was awesome cause it was the first pokemon i saw after i got my first 5 pokeballs

Currently in platinum i have these shinies:
Ditto
Farfetch'd (trade)
Pidgeot (Caught in FR)
Shinx (Caught via pokeradar)
Crobat (trade)
Linoone (Gamestop)

Akeraz November 25th, 2009 3:25 PM

My first shiny on Platinum was a Magmar (Chained).

Zelda November 25th, 2009 5:30 PM

I have caught shiny pokémon from both chaining, and regular at hand catching. Though for catching it through the wild, the first shiny I have obtained through Pokémon Pearl was a Bidoof. Not the most wanted shiny for a first, but I was still pretty cool about receiving it.
As for catching my first shiny via chaining, my first shiny there was a Plusle. It was quite the catch as it can be awfully difficult to get a shiny through chaining, but at the chain of 8, there glowed a shiny patch in which was a Plusle at the Trophy Gardens.

So basically, either way, my first shinies throughout Pokémon Pearl were a Bidoof and a Plusle.

Naikado November 25th, 2009 7:38 PM

Mine was a shiny camorupt (probably incorrect spelling :/) in Sapphire... But then again, it WAS a rom. Not editted though!

Pandah November 25th, 2009 7:46 PM

My first shiny was a geodude with a decent nature c: But my much luckier boyfriend had caught a shiny machoke(my FAVORITE POKEMON D<) plus like, twice as many as I have.

The first ever pokemon I saw besides red gyarados, though was a shiny weedle at the very beginning of pokemon gold.

you know, in the part where you cant get any pokeballs D<

Prince_of_Light November 26th, 2009 11:45 AM

My first shiny in Platinum was a masuda-d shiny charmander. Along the way I found a random encounter machop (which I traded to a friend since machamp is his fav) so I used it to calculate my SID. =DDD and then I decided to get cheap and RNG abuse myself all 5 pseudo-legendaries for kicks. So now I have a shiny team. =D

My first shiny ever was a random encounter rattata in Fire Red. I made it a FEAR. lolz.

EDIT:

Usagi-Chan~ November 26th, 2009 11:53 AM

First shiny ever was a shiny zubat in fr/lg which is now a shiny crobat.
First shiny in dpp was a shiny graveler.

thegeneticway November 26th, 2009 3:44 PM

All the shinies I have gotten are from others

;-;

DonRoyale November 26th, 2009 3:47 PM

My first shiny was my first successful Poke Radar attempt; West Sea Shellos. Route 205, South.

I got 12 of them. =D

MarstheCar November 26th, 2009 10:46 PM

My first D/P/PL shiny was an Unown(H). I was stupid and deleted that data though. T.T
I'll find another shiny soon enough.

Xebelleon November 26th, 2009 10:53 PM

Found Cresselia in my Platinum to be shiny. Still working on weakening it.
First encountered with a Calm Xatu.

Thats it. No common shinies as yet. And I refuse to radar for them.

curiousnathan November 26th, 2009 11:23 PM

My first shiny was A shiny ummm i forgot the one that is the pre evolved form of piloswine... that one yeah in pokemon gold in the cave! (Ice path)

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ November 27th, 2009 12:58 AM

First shiny in 4th gen was a Buneary in Pearl. Not long after, Ponyta. Both obtained while traveling through (i.e., no chaining involved) I've seen none since, not that I'm looking especially hard for them.

Polizard November 27th, 2009 3:17 AM

In diamond i found a starly and caught it but i ended up trading it n but i also saw a yanma in the great marsh but it fled

Professor W. November 27th, 2009 6:46 AM

My first shiny Pokemon was a shiny Graveler that I caught at Sinnoh Victory Road yesterday.

Icetricity November 27th, 2009 7:23 AM

(Diamond Version)
I remember it like it was yesterday.
My first shiny was Piplup, I was trying to breed Piplup with a couple of egg moves and it happened to hatch as a shiny.
Wow..

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ November 29th, 2009 12:59 PM

After finally knowing the location of where Gligar was found in Pearl, I went to go chain one and after my 2nd one I ran into a shiny one and caught it =)


:t354:TG

Porygon-2000 November 29th, 2009 1:11 PM

not counting the red gyarados, I once caught a blue trapinch. It was there, i was just saving it and then...the batteries on my game boy ran out (what the hell, people) :'-(

Sephro November 29th, 2009 2:32 PM

my first shiny was a gulpin on my sapphire, then i got a shiny steelix on my diamond and just yesterday i got a shiny finneon on route 217 :)

A Real True Winner Is Me November 29th, 2009 2:35 PM

I was going through that small cave near Jubilife, and I engaged in a battle. The Pokemon was a Shiny Geodude.


miharuzee November 29th, 2009 2:35 PM

disregarding the red gyarados, my first shiny was a smeargle in silver. i freaked out XD

B_button_member November 29th, 2009 4:28 PM

Edited: Scratch that it wasnt the Seaking, it was a shiny garydos in Pearl.

Daiko7 November 29th, 2009 5:09 PM

Diamond: At the start of the game (Just after I bought PokeBalls I ran into a Shiny Starly (I used it of course =D)

Jessie November 29th, 2009 5:41 PM

First shiny was a Vaporeon I traded for. I have YET to see one in game. D= Ugh lol.

Acebob November 29th, 2009 9:11 PM

My first Shiny was a Rattata from Fire Red. My first in Pearl was a Shinx. I've since gotten a Growlithe and Farfetch'd

joelogs November 29th, 2009 9:46 PM

in pearl, i caught a shiny machoke in route 217 that reminds of dbz cause it's green lol!

empty streets November 30th, 2009 12:04 AM

Oh sheesh. I can't understand why some of you have That many shinies. I mean it must have taken forever to catch/trade 'em.

As for me, still haven't caught at least one.

17283361 December 1st, 2009 8:08 PM

My absolute first shiny was a shinx. Which was completely luck.
Second was a palkia that someone traded to me through gts for a lvl 47 dialga.
after that i got really good at chaining shinies in the trophy gardens.
I've got a shiny pikachu, pichu, roselia, pachirisu, staravia, and eevee (x2).
Still havent been able to chain a ditto long enough, but im workin on it.
:p

digimess December 2nd, 2009 2:57 AM

Isn't it impossible to get these shiny pokemon?

17283361 December 2nd, 2009 4:16 AM

^
lol?

Hardly impossible.
fairly easy once you know how to chain.

You come across a fair amount in GTS as well.

Crystal Keyblade December 2nd, 2009 4:29 AM

Mine was a Poochiana (Wrong spelling much? xD) in Ruby version. I was just startinf out, about to go meet Brandon for the first time, and it appeared. I was so freaked out, i'd never even heard of Shiny Pokémon before then, and i though it was really cool.

The only shiny i'd had after that was the Red Gyarados.

Lati-Fan95 December 2nd, 2009 6:38 AM

My first shiny was the red gyarados, on Crystal I saw a shiny Togepi and had a shiny Magby (I dunno anymore where I got it...^^). An Sapphire I saw a shiny Graveler and a shiny Vileplume in the Battle Tower, and for some weird reason my bro traded me a shiny Zigzagoon shortly after that! :D When I got Emerlad, someone traded me a shiny Mew on the Pokemon Day (didn't know that it was cheated). When I got D/P and visited the next Pokemon Day, I got a shiny Darkrai, a shiny Shaymin and a shiny Arceus (they're all cheated but I don't care!^^ I don't have a problem with cheated pokemon, I was very happy anyway!^^), some months later I saw and caught a shiny Golduck.

These were all the shinies I've seen/caught so far... Quite a lot, I haven't thought that I saw that many!^^

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ December 2nd, 2009 9:06 AM

Shiny Buneary. Without chaining, thank you very much. Just randomly encountered it while playing through XD.

zephern December 2nd, 2009 9:10 AM

Hmmm.
 
I remember my first shiny....

It was a level 26 Golbat.

(Soon to be a shiny Crowbat.) :D

johto-Master December 2nd, 2009 12:12 PM

mine was a shiny geodude, bit of an anticlimax tbh considering how common it is

Adlaerxo December 2nd, 2009 12:51 PM

:(
 
The only ones i got were through hacking ( temporary ) and trading. sadly i both shinys were over the gts and both ran away:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

Pachireecko December 2nd, 2009 1:04 PM

My first shiny was a silcoon which I obtained in Eterna Forest without chaining.

Oxyus December 2nd, 2009 3:52 PM

My first shiny was a Bagon in pokemon ruby and i trained it to a Salamance but my Ruby dissapeared (with my first shiny).

Cheyanne December 2nd, 2009 4:00 PM

My first shiny was a Kadabra in Pokemon FireRed I found in the Cerulean cave, I restarted the game though.

At the start of my Pokemon Platinum game, I found a shiny Buizel, I still have that one :)

zein December 2nd, 2009 5:50 PM

mmm my first shiny was a shinx

AnthonyBrock2 December 2nd, 2009 10:55 PM

(sigh) I have yet to catch a shiny...is there a particular place you have to search for them?

17283361 December 2nd, 2009 11:07 PM

Nope.
But it helps to learn how to chain pokemon.

Mawile December 3rd, 2009 4:04 PM

Have NEVER seen a wild shiny in 4th Gen. My only shiny that I've ever caught (besides Gyarados in Johto) is...

...Rattata. In Fire Red.

I called it Mr. Awesome.

Mattysaurus December 3rd, 2009 4:35 PM

...
Bidoof
>.<
I was lucky , I guess.

Elite 4 Sam December 3rd, 2009 6:27 PM

The first day i got my pearl, i ran into a wild misdreveus, but it popped out of my last pokeball after three shakes! Then on another pearl i got, on my way through victory road, i found a shiny gravler, but i lost that pearl. or it got stolen. Is victory road the hotspot for shinies? all my friends that have shinies have found at least one in victory road

Comrade Nikita Ivanova December 3rd, 2009 6:48 PM

I can't remember which I caught first, but on Platinum I have both a shiny Drifblim and a shiny Barboach.

I also saw a shiny Ledyba in Silver, but didn't catch it.

Blue Umbreon December 4th, 2009 1:25 PM

Mine was a random encounter Bedew, which is now a shiny Roserade :)
