Floatzel. I cought it in the grass. My first shiny ever. I normally dont catch evolved pokemon but when I saw a shiny I had to catch it.

Raykon January 14th, 2010 1:34 AM

A shiny Tentacruel - last year, I was so surprised as I've never seen one at all before.

インフェルノの津波 January 14th, 2010 12:57 PM

My first shiny? To my surprise, my starter! I have a Shiny Chimchar, which really shocked me beyond words.

GreenGyarados January 15th, 2010 7:20 AM

My first shiny was a Geodude, and I failed to capture it. (Critical Hit Tackle) :(

Praestagus January 15th, 2010 7:40 AM

My first shiny was in pokemon silver, a tentacool with green gemstones, instead of red.
FireRed: mankey with greenish fur
Emerald: a dark purple wurmple
ToxicPurple: golden pidgey

Fantomix January 15th, 2010 3:58 PM

Growlithe, on a chain of 26. It broke soon after, so I was lucky! I didn't really know how to use the Radar back then.

I have the feeling, and vaguely recall, that before I knew about shiny Pokemon I'd run into one or two, thought "Oh, the game's glitched up!" and left the battle, heh. Oh well, you live and learn. My cousin once ran into a shiny Tentacool and had no idea it was shiny. Needless to say, he KO'd it.

Now I have all sorts of shinies from the PokeRadar, and a couple of hacked ones which I intend to release. They were just to complete the 'dex. But I digress.
If anybody would like to trade for one of the shiny Phanpy that I chained yesterday, PM me. Only legit shinies in return though ;)

Nashton January 15th, 2010 5:44 PM

shiny golbat it was brown ahah

Hozzey January 20th, 2010 2:35 PM

without using my action replay, my first shiny was a Cyndaquil that I hatched from an egg :D

Fenrir Reki January 21st, 2010 3:52 PM

Mine was a shiny starly in diamond. I was just messing around one day, encountered it and then caught it while half asleep.

Calder January 21st, 2010 7:04 PM

My first ever Shiny in DPPt was a Floatzel, but on my current playthrough it was a Shiny Sneasel that I never used and traded to a friend IRL

rocky505 January 22nd, 2010 1:01 AM

Mine was zapdos in Platinum and it was timid so I was double lucky.

Takoto January 22nd, 2010 4:01 AM

Shiny Golbat, it's now a badass Shiny Crobat.

SuperBeano11 January 22nd, 2010 4:32 AM

WOO My First Was A Poochyana

Lord Varion January 22nd, 2010 6:51 AM

Zerrah. January 22nd, 2010 10:15 AM

Shiny Weedle. Didn't even know it was Shiny until after I caught it. It now belongs to someone who will probably give it more attention then I ever would...

Miniduffa January 22nd, 2010 12:06 PM

None on my Pearl or Platinum sadly.

Although, I had the Red Gyarados on Gold, Silver and Crystal.
A shiny Cleffa from the egg recieved from the Day Care Couple in Crystal.
And a shiny Machop in Fire Red, which was deleted off my old Platinum game. :(

pokedict January 22nd, 2010 12:08 PM

First one I got(and currently only one I have) was a shiny bulbasar from an egg.
Its niot a shiny ev'd venusaur xD lvl 64, treaining still :|

TheClickKid January 22nd, 2010 3:59 PM

This brings back good times....My first shiny..was a Heracross that i was hunting for to go on my team in pearl

Mawile412 January 22nd, 2010 4:15 PM

i have yet to get a shiny .... >_>

The Cynic January 22nd, 2010 4:23 PM

My first shiny was an oddish in the original silver version. Incidently, apart from red gyrados, the only other shiny I've iver caught was a shiny oddish in Emerald. Two oddishes! What are the chances?

Togekiss♥ January 22nd, 2010 4:59 PM

My first shiny goes way back when I was searching in the grass and found a shiny misdrevous

TheSeviper January 23rd, 2010 2:17 AM

My first Shiny pokemon is Mantyke! It is hard to find it but it's cool!

Togekiss♥ January 23rd, 2010 10:09 AM

Mantykes were hard to catch for me...

Snover January 23rd, 2010 11:20 AM

my first shiny was a shiny meditite i found while looking for a female bagon for breeding.. I felt great!

Pokestick, good times. January 24th, 2010 8:06 AM

After finally owning Cynthia the first time, wich took forever, I walked towards Sandgem to get myself a Pokémon that used Fly from my PC, so I could fly to that waht's-it-called place in the north east? Whatever.

Guess what the first thing I found in the grass was? A shiny Starly!

From that point on, he's one of my HM slaves >:D

(... until I replaced the guy with a Dragonite...)

Lt. Silver January 24th, 2010 5:57 PM

I havent found a shiny in Sinnoh

Hevil93 January 24th, 2010 7:02 PM

Mine was a shiny Eevee:D im saving it for a shiny Happy/Night Evolution Eevee lol idk wat it is haha

McBucket January 25th, 2010 4:27 AM

my first shiny was a zubat in ruby i got it out of a egg

Pixels January 25th, 2010 6:27 AM

Mine was from a day care egg too, I Marill I believe. :)

Eon-Rider January 25th, 2010 7:06 AM

My first shiny in Diamond, Pearl or Platinum was a Spinarak I RNG hacked from an Egg. My first luck based shiny was a Zubat. =\

shinyexploud January 25th, 2010 12:00 PM

whismur in sapphire, i almost didnt go through the verdanturf tunnel

MarioRocks08 January 26th, 2010 6:35 PM

My first Shiny was a Gastrodon. I was training my Pokemon in my Diamond version on Rt. 222, and all of a sudden, this shiny Gastrodon appeared. I captured it using an Ultra ball. I still have it.

XCHAMPX January 26th, 2010 6:36 PM

Other then the red gyrados u get in G&S i have yet to be graced by the presense of a shiny

Muffin™ January 27th, 2010 4:26 AM

On Sapphire I caught my first shiny...ZIGZAGOON!!!! lol xD

rizyq January 27th, 2010 7:31 AM

My first shiny that I saw, and didn't really realize it was a shiny, I just remembered the sparkly star thing when it came up.
It was a trainer's Espeon in the Battle Frontier on Emeradl :/

But, I saw there was a duduo swarm on the first route of Pearl, so I decided to chain for a shiny one. When I hit a ten chain, I looked up before the grass moved, and, so I went to reset my Pokeradar, and I take a step to the left, and a shiny Doduo appears. I caught it, and named it Shinyduo.

I don't have that save anymore, but I have a level 2 shiny Doduo on Battle Revolution XD

Kirkland January 27th, 2010 7:35 AM

A bidoof. No lie. :/
Because bidoof is so awesome </3. Baww. X'D

CharCharmander January 27th, 2010 10:11 PM

My first shiny was a shiny Staravia on my first playthrough of Diamond.

nakoma January 28th, 2010 3:57 PM

OH! such a nice thread, my first shiny was a starley that I traded figuring I would get a shiny in return on the GTS. My second shiny that I still have is a ponyta that I evolved into a rapidash (I have been playing since red and blue and not one shiny till D/P/PT!) also I did not cheat to get these or use the search device I just ran into them both by chance.

Oxyus January 28th, 2010 4:19 PM

My first shiny (In Diamond) was a Sneasle.

akamichi January 28th, 2010 5:27 PM

my 1st shiny was a shiny staravia found in sendoff spring.

SiReNzZ January 30th, 2010 3:39 AM

I dont think I have ever caught one :(

winseven4lyf January 30th, 2010 3:44 AM

I didn't actually catch my first shiny, my best friend did when he was playing my Ruby version he found and caught an Blue Electrike which he evolved into a Red Manatrix (sp?) which I gave to him on his birthday when he got Pokemon Ruby and a DS.

The Darkest Gale January 30th, 2010 3:49 AM

my first shiny was a shiny wurmple :D I wasn't even looking lol it just appeared

zommy08 January 30th, 2010 9:22 AM

I'm still waiting for a shiny despite having played through Emerald, Diamond and Platinum. Grrr...

johnny18 January 30th, 2010 9:56 AM

When the first time I play platinum, my first shiny is buneary. Unfortunately, Cheryl's chansey killed it and I was so mad. Then, I restart the game and now my first shiny without chaining is a shiny Rhydon. I feel like I am very lucky ^_^

susyy8 January 30th, 2010 2:03 PM

the first shiny that i knew i had was vulpix, but that wasn't mine, i got it from my friend. the first shiny that i caught was a voltorb. when i got my very first pokemon game, crystal, i think that i got a shiny cleffa from the other egg but i remembered it just now! now i have crystal on my r4 and tadaa, another shiny cleffa! :O i mean, what t..........?? O_____o

MyRockstarComplex January 30th, 2010 5:52 PM

My first and only Shiny is a Mewtwo. Problem is I didn't even get it, I traded for it. So technically I have never been lucky enough to get a Shiny.

JJAttacker January 30th, 2010 6:26 PM

first shiny ever was a shiny geodude in diamond.then later on i found a shiny unown B. but alas, my diamond game was corrupted and i lost both of them =(

but in Platinum i found a shiny gastly. which i use in wifi battles now-a-days

Eurydice January 30th, 2010 8:21 PM

my first shiny just hatched. its a bronzor on diamond

Greeneflower January 30th, 2010 8:44 PM

My first shiny was a Machop that I encountered upon when I took my first steps into Victory Road. Didn't take long to catch, but I was happy I got it. I ended up trading it for another legendary.. but I will always remember that Machop. :3

Nibor February 1st, 2010 11:28 PM

Pokemon Platinum: Shiny Machoke I found at Route 210.

Rosegrl February 1st, 2010 11:44 PM

My first shiny was the pikachu colored pichu >.< still haven't encountered one "normally"

Kynn February 1st, 2010 11:57 PM

my first shiny was a Kakuna I was walking in Eterna Forest to go catch me rotom and I ended up finding it.

Gold_fan February 2nd, 2010 12:18 AM

I got my first shiny while looking for one desperatly o.o
I saw the battle was starting and I was almost like yelling "SHINY !!"
I got a Shiny Spearow which is now a Shiny Fearow :D

larry1204 February 2nd, 2010 1:56 AM

I have Dialga, my fav :lol:

Kenjin February 2nd, 2010 2:12 AM

The first shiny, that I caught was Wailmer <3 in Emerald

BlueEew February 2nd, 2010 3:00 PM

Except for Gyarados in G/S/C, my first was a Shiny Bibreal from Platinum.

Lorenzo_Von_Matterhorn February 2nd, 2010 11:14 PM

In Platinum my first "Shiny" was Bidoof.

Melodramatic Fool February 3rd, 2010 11:43 AM

What on Earth is a shiny?

Nevermind, found out. Mine was a red gyarados.

Dopefish7590 February 4th, 2010 3:10 PM

As odd as it was, I've never run into a shiny on my own... The only shiny I got was traded. (It was a Sableye)

DragoniteAirMail February 4th, 2010 3:24 PM

ran into a wurmple in pearl that later evod. into beautifly =)

Reira February 4th, 2010 3:46 PM

Well... I haven't actually CAUGHT a shiny pokémon. I've only seen one once.

Unfortunately it was a Lairon, and it knew the move 'Roar'. . . So guess what happened.

Natsuki_Kuga February 4th, 2010 4:34 PM

First Shiny I'd ever gotten in DPP, I actually got from a convention event; it was a shiny Mudkip that I got from the HALOLZ booth at Anime Expo, unfortunately she was pretty hacked to where she came in a Cherish Ball, so she isn't exactly legit, but I adore her to bits anyways-she's a great big Swampert now though

Panfisha February 4th, 2010 5:06 PM

I caught my first official shiny pokemon just 2 days ago. I was looking for gengar in the old chateau, and I found a shiny ghastly. I really only noticed it at first glance because it was blue, then my mind went "OH CRAP A SHINY!"
I do have other shinies, but they were migrated.

UmbreonsShadow February 4th, 2010 5:21 PM

My first shiny was a Rhydon I found while trying to get through a cave. :3 I was all like - "Wait... WHAT?!" I was so worried I'd faint it or something, but I managed to catch it. xD

Azzurra February 4th, 2010 11:04 PM

It was actually, ironically enough, a shiny Piplup. I was surprised and overjoyed with the discovery.

Shadow Chaos February 5th, 2010 12:26 PM

My first Shiny in Diamond was a Budew. :3

salot February 5th, 2010 4:21 PM

today i broke a chain to 29 shinx in pokemon platinum my record already omg it is too dificult the only by luck shiny i ever got was a primeape atpokemon emerald xD

salmence33 February 5th, 2010 7:49 PM

my first shiny was a traded drapion, the first one I caught was a shiny staravia

Syphr February 5th, 2010 8:00 PM

Abra...See you later Abra.

mew² February 8th, 2010 4:53 PM

I believe my first shiny was a Tentacool on Pokemon Diamond.
I was looking for a Mantyke for my Pokedex and I ended up encountering one and my eyes got big.
I ended up catching it, didn't bother EVing it since I didn't know what it was, and evolved it.
Now it rots in my Diamond box with my other shinies.

TrinityLimit February 8th, 2010 5:06 PM

my first was a shiny spinda in ruby. i was like wtf?! when i saw the little stars.

Lt_Nite February 8th, 2010 7:56 PM

Purple Drowzee was my first wayyyyy back in Gold, I had no idea what was going on, and my only other is a blue Voltorb in Plat.

Random User February 8th, 2010 8:11 PM

My first shiny was in Victory Road while I was going to get Shaymin. It was a Shiny Golbat. I was with a partner so I got nervous that she would kill it, so I ended up having to kill her Arcanine first. XD

Sweet Smoochum February 8th, 2010 8:16 PM

I found a Shiny Buizel in Platinum approx. a week ago near Pastoria. My first shiny in a 4th gen game. Haven't had a shiny since GSC.

That was the only shiny I've found in Platinum or D/P too. I found him in the VallyWindworks I was like oh! a gold Buizel. XD

metalfalcon February 8th, 2010 9:02 PM

My first shiny was Pachirisu from chaining. I ended up catching about 9 or 10 of them. I'm selling some in my thread in my sig *cheap plug*

Sweet Jasmine February 9th, 2010 12:38 AM

The first shiny that I got was a Shiny Feebas, well I got it when my friend traded it for my Gallade. :]

RawrimDino February 11th, 2010 2:15 PM

my first shine was my charizard after i made my original one breed. Charizard for the win!

Appulz February 11th, 2010 6:39 PM

Shiny Geodude in platinum >:D

LordGulcasa February 11th, 2010 6:53 PM

My first shiny I got was a shiny Pidgey in Fire Red.

The next day, which was the release day of Diamond, I got a shiny Starly XD.

Exon February 12th, 2010 8:34 PM

Well, since I'm JUST now getting Platinum, my first in the game would have to be Giratina in the distortion world, though I soft-reset for almost 3 hours to get it. Hmmm...after that I VERY recently ran into a random shiny meditite while EV training my elelctabuzz up for E4. In all, not counting sr'ing for legendaries/starters or using the RNG method, I've only found three, in this exact order:

PKMN GOLD- Machop
PKMN DIAMOND- Whiscash while fishing in coronet..o.0 ...what a waste of good luck that was...
and
PKMN PLAT.- That meditite

arcanineflames23 February 13th, 2010 1:37 AM

My first shiny I got the other day through a trade which was gamestop pichu. I think I'm cursed. I found out about pokemon at least four years ago, I have all games exept pokemon ranger shadows of almia, and mystery dongeon rescues teams, and gbc games. Not a single shiny.... :(

Mew~ February 13th, 2010 2:49 AM

Gosh thats a hard question! *thinks*....*thinks* I think it was a roming shiny bagon in my pearl version! And for platinum it was an abra in the route before veilstone city!!

Houndoom19 February 13th, 2010 4:44 AM

A bronzor in wayward cave. Then, less than half an hour later, a shiny machop in mt. coronet.

salot February 13th, 2010 10:47 AM

today i captured my first shiny clefairy yeah i am on chain right now of 41 can i continue to find another shiny clefairy?

Demigod February 13th, 2010 10:55 AM

when red came out i caught a shiny onix

Sula February 13th, 2010 3:35 PM

My first shiny was either my ditto or metagross.

MarioManH February 13th, 2010 3:38 PM

My first Shiny was Numel, when I first saw it I was like "ZOMG A WATER TYPE NUMEL" since it was blue.

Calder February 13th, 2010 4:03 PM

They probably mean Fire Red.

Phantom Kat February 13th, 2010 6:49 PM

The first shiny I encountered was a shiny Piplup when I started a new game without erasing my old game in Pearl, which meant I couldn't save. I was so crushed. D: I was in Mexico at the time, alone with my dad in the car. When I went all happy then mopey, he was all like, "Que the pasa?" (What's going on with you?) I was all like, "Nada, solo algo que me paso en mi video juego. ;-;" (Nothing, just something that happened to me in my video game.)

However, about a week later, my Gastly chain near Hearthrome was broken by a shiny Bibarel. of course, I would have much preferred having a shiny Piplup than a shiny Bibarel, but it was my first shiny I managed to snag, so I was on cloud nine.

- Kat

TJgamer February 13th, 2010 6:50 PM

In Pokémon Diamond, I was using my Pokéradar in the snow to find a Snorunt. While searching, I was extremely surprised to see that I found a shiny Sneasel. I took me a few attempts, but I managed to catch it.
It is (up to date) my only shiny Pokémon I have ever caught.

Red1530 February 13th, 2010 7:26 PM

The only shiny I have in this generation is the Pichu from the Pikachu Colored Pichu event.:'(

Bwazzam February 13th, 2010 7:37 PM

My first shiny, I think...it was a Geodude in Platinum.

Traded it away for a Stunky. :B

alisaie February 14th, 2010 8:43 PM

My first shiny would be my Shiny Combee that my Pair ever so gave to me~ ♥ Haven't seen one to catch yet, though.

LoneStarAkira February 14th, 2010 9:23 PM

My first shiny on DPPt was Starly back in November 2007 (though I'd found several Gen 3 shinies already by that time). I was failing at chaining, as usual, though I was rather proud of myself getting past a chain of 10. I was at a chain of 13, and I went into a regular patch, and the screen flashed black as the encounter began...

...next thing I see is a brown Starly sparkling at me. :'D Funny, how I was trying to chain them, and I found a random one in the process. My Platinum game's luck boomed after that encounter~ He's now a permanent party member on that game.

Calder February 14th, 2010 9:40 PM

Ah right didn't think of that my bad haha

I remember my friend talked about a Blue Voltorb and I didn't know about shiny Pokes at the time and when I saw it I thought it was a glitch lol

Thingula February 15th, 2010 7:45 AM

Myfirst shiny in D/P/Pt was a Shinx. I new have around 8 that I didn't obtain through trading, nor RNG abuse. Some were migrated from my 3rd gen versions, but they were all caught in the wild through shear luck. :) 
