My first shiny?

A sandshrew, If I recall correctly.

RHCP February 15th, 2010 7:51 AM

My first shiny was a Buneary, which I caught in Eterna Forest on Diamond!

bluebambii February 15th, 2010 4:55 PM

Sadly, I've never caught one yet ):

My cousin found a shiny Sharpedo once though.

AutumnLynnxLove February 15th, 2010 5:12 PM

Never got a shiny ]=
What's the best way to find one? A non-hack or cheat way?

The snorlax master February 16th, 2010 7:23 AM

My first shiny was a Bibarel At Lake Acuity!

Silhouette February 16th, 2010 7:35 AM

My first shiny in Diamond was a shiny Graveler. There's a funny story about it; I found it as soon as I migrated my shiny Pelipper from Sapphire. XD

You're so lucky! =( Shiny Umbreons are sooo cool! =D

xPsychosocial February 16th, 2010 8:44 AM

My first shiny was a Geodude I don't remember where I caught it. I didn't like it though so I traded it off for a Piplup.

Probably not the best trade ever but I needed a Piplup. :P


Chompah :x February 18th, 2010 1:17 AM

In Emerald; Aggron.
In Pearl; I've learnt to RNG ABUSe, so i can get heapsa shinies .. Most recent is Naughty Bagon 31/31/29/31/30/31

Mudkipx3 February 18th, 2010 4:57 PM

i didnt got a first shiny because i hacked so my first shiny is all of my pokemon (in diamond)

Master Exploder February 19th, 2010 5:11 AM

Garados ¬_¬ of all the ones that had to be shiny, it had to be the one that appears in HG/SS...
EDIT: and as well as being the first it's my only one from D/P >:[

kasaibouF29 February 19th, 2010 1:48 PM

OMG Lucky!!!!!!! my first shiny was the pikachu colored pichu..... otherwise I've never had a shiny pokemon. IF I get super lucky I could get a shiny Jirachi when Gamestop gives it out........ :)

Okami Chi February 19th, 2010 2:20 PM

A Voltorb, I got "Surge" when I was hatching eggs. :D

Newbie 2.0 February 19th, 2010 2:23 PM

Honestly, I can't remember back in the older games, but my first shiny in Pearl was a Wooper. XD It's so pink, it's scary. I think I also saw a shiny Pikachu?

I saw the shiny wooper, it reminded me of this:



It's so cool looking :D it's called an axolotl! Going slightly off topic, sorry :p

FinalMaster February 19th, 2010 3:31 PM

In Pearl, I decided to chain. So, I take out my pokeradar and... BAMF! A shiny Sudowoodo. Meanwhile, in my old Leafgreen, I was walking around training something, and...
*Wild music plays*
Wild VULPIX appeared! (Sparkle)

I instantly check my bag, and... no Pokeballs!

WHY!? WHY ME?!
I have the Platinum shiny Vulpix card as a memento of this tragedy.

blueblur155 February 19th, 2010 4:13 PM

My first shiny in D/P/Pt was a shiny quagsire. my first one ever though, was a shiny rattata in Silver.

lol same here..i was tryin to train and then shiny camerupt appeared in mt stark it was really cool =]

Ezzo! February 19th, 2010 7:38 PM

I can't remember what version it was, I think Emerald. I was in a patch of grass just going to the next town, and BAM! I saw a Linoone, and it sparkled. It had orange stripes instead of brown stripes, if I remember correctly. And I caught it, put it in my pc box, and forgot about it the next day.

alisaie February 19th, 2010 8:33 PM

I don't remember what I said earlier about my first Shiny, but I finally caught my first shiny in one of the Gen IV games.

Earlier today, while looking for a Buneary (I was in the wrong part of the Eterna Forest, haha), I found a shiny Budew. c: Nearly spazzed when I found it.

Gamefreaked February 19th, 2010 11:44 PM

Ive caught quite a few shinies through my playthroughs of the pokemon games, some of which kinda surprised me. My first shiny was an eevee which hatched out of an egg that I made by accident after i had mistakingly breed an eevee instead of my manaphy (both have the same nickname). I got a shiny Arceus at one of the Nintendo events, I didn't even know you could get one.

TheBigMan0706 February 20th, 2010 10:18 AM

I think my first shiny that i caught (and traded to someone) was a shiny Ghastly. I caught him in Pokemon Diamond, and called him King Boo

detroittigers February 20th, 2010 10:56 AM

the first shiny i caught was a shiny chingling in mt coronet

ArmageddonAsh February 20th, 2010 11:49 AM

rockshock28 February 20th, 2010 1:15 PM

The only shiny I've ever caught was Tentacool in R/S/E.

Deftestblowfish February 20th, 2010 1:25 PM

Mine was a Shiny Charmander in Firered. I was so suprised to get one!

Imperator161 February 20th, 2010 2:06 PM

My first D/P/P shiny was a shiny Squirtle that I hatched.

The first shiny (besides the G/S/C Red Gyarados) that I obtained was a shiny Spinda that I found in Sapphire while EV training.

Kikoia February 20th, 2010 3:26 PM

I just got my first evar (caught) shiny today!!! Shiny Larvitar, pokerader chain 12 :D
I started hyperventailating when I saw the shiny patch :)

Honest February 20th, 2010 3:30 PM

Um... the first was a Solrock level 20 in that mountain in Emerald.... Meteor Mt. was it?

p901 February 22nd, 2010 2:03 PM

I can't rememver what my first shiny was, but I know that my second shiny was a buizel.

Daeva Okami-Luca February 22nd, 2010 2:24 PM

First shiny was a shiny Drowzee I believe, most recent shiny was a Gold Poochyena

PokéMartin February 23rd, 2010 1:26 AM

My only two shinies were both in Diamond

First: Tentacool :( (Not a fan)

Second: Hatched Riolu :) (HUGE FAN!)

Christopher February 23rd, 2010 7:30 AM

first ever Pidgey in the original Silver
most recent a Shinx in Pearl

Skull Guardian February 23rd, 2010 9:18 AM

My first shiny in Platinum was a Shinx no chaining. Now its a Luxray.

Gary, the Magic Fairy February 23rd, 2010 10:51 PM

It was a Shinx. I wasn't really searching for it or anything.

JadeX February 24th, 2010 12:04 AM

Mine was Shiny Ponyta in Platinum .
I was like HUH?! There's star and it's in different colour , did I see wrongly ?
and I captured it and realised it's a shiny pokemon =D

The second one was a smoochun egg which I didn't know it was shiny . It hatched and I deposited it . Then one day , I was releasing my pokemon , i discovered that smoochun was in different colour -.-"

Third one was a few days ago when I tried capturing Giratina in the Platinum storyline which I failed after 3 times ( Giratina killed itself with Struggle 3 times) . Wasted super lots of Ultra ball and it committed suicide !
The 4th try , it's in a different colour and know what ? I just threw my masterball at it without thinking .

Ballzie February 24th, 2010 12:10 AM

I just recently started playing platinum and caught a shiny Nosepass! I was pretty impressed with its IV's as well. ^^

Azury February 24th, 2010 12:35 AM

I was training my Gyrados in the pokemon haunted mansion in Platinum and I caught a shiny Gastly.

subdecay February 24th, 2010 8:02 AM

route 229, i caught a shiny pinsir. was sheer luck cuz I haven't received another one yet :S

Alistair12 February 24th, 2010 2:33 PM

First shiny was Starly in diamond, then got a shiny Lickitung.

Zan February 24th, 2010 9:25 PM

My 1st shiny in diamond was a wooper
i was walking to Hearthome city from Pastoria and somewhere on route 212 i found that shiny wooper (hes a quagsire now)

metagross69 February 25th, 2010 3:47 PM

Cresselia February 25th, 2010 4:52 PM

Mine was a shiny Skitty caught with the Pokeradar! And the funny thing was, Skitty was my favorite Pokemon at the time.

ChimcharFuse February 25th, 2010 5:23 PM

Besides the Red Gyarados I caught in Crystal, I caught a shiny Graveler on route 214.
My rarest shiny would be my Rayquaza, which I did catch shiny.

~Frozen Darkness~ February 25th, 2010 6:00 PM

I caught a couple of shinies.

Crystal - Spinarak, now Ariados
Sapphire - Zigzagoon, now Linoone
FireRed - Tentacool
LeafGreen - Voltorb

Atmey Detective February 27th, 2010 11:00 AM

Geodude (now Golem), on platinum, in ourbrough mine, pretty early
technicly, i never cought, but controlled, a shiny machoke in the battle frontier.It HAD to be there :'(

Sweet Candace February 27th, 2010 11:01 AM

In Pearl, I got a Bronzor, which turned into a Bronzong. And in Platinum, I got a Red Gyarados.

jester123 February 27th, 2010 11:55 AM

First 1: Red Gyarados in gold version

hedgehog1128 February 27th, 2010 7:40 PM

My first shiny was a chained shiny doduo in pearl. I've played since Gen I, and I didn't see a shiny (except my sisters red gyrados) until 2 years ago when I started chaining. Right after I caught the doduo though, I finally started seeing random shinies in my other games (like a shiny zubat in firered last week.) I must have just had awful luck with shinies.

GracefulGrowlithe February 27th, 2010 8:03 PM

Lol my first shiny was in Gen 2 it was a shiny pidgey (though it was a rom :D)

dbauburnfan February 27th, 2010 9:07 PM

Mine was very recently although it was not obtained by me I got it off of the GTS. It is my favorite pokemon in my in game team. It is of course Mightyena. I almost screamed when I actually got it.
~dbauburnfan

Choumaru February 27th, 2010 11:16 PM

It was a cute Starly <3 Once I found another shiney but it was in a double battle and my partner killed it T^T

Did you know about shinnies back then?

ji February 28th, 2010 9:53 AM

I've never encountered a shiny pokemon at all, except for that oh-so-familiar shiny Gyarados...
I have a shiny Pichu from an event though.
My sister, on the other hand, has about six of 'em, all from being found at random >x>;;;
Her luck makes me want to bash my head in the ground OTL


Lati-Fan95 February 28th, 2010 10:12 AM

Well, my very first shiny was the Red Gyarados (it was my only one on Silver but i encountered a lot more shinies in Sapphire) !^^

My first shiny on D/P/Pt was a shiny Golduck. I encountered it completly randomly while I was getting the items on the route before Celistic Town!^^


OFF-TOPIC: EPIC 100TH POST!^^ YAAY!

Varcon February 28th, 2010 10:40 AM

My first shiny was a Swampert I won after beating a friend in a match :)

WiiMann March 1st, 2010 3:47 PM

My first was a shiny feebas, I was so excited i evolved as quickly as possible

Relith March 1st, 2010 3:54 PM

My first shiny ever, in all games was a Caterpie in Silver, level 2.
My first shiny in Platinum, was a magikarp that I had fished.

nick99 March 3rd, 2010 1:42 PM

i've never had a shiny. the best onee is green salemence

BlueShuckle March 3rd, 2010 1:44 PM

Ever? Oddish
D/P? Shinx

I wish it was better than an Oddish, but oh well.

PokemonLeagueChamp March 3rd, 2010 1:50 PM

Pokemon FireRed
I'm in a cave(I forgot which one)and I come across a shiny Zubat. I was like "WTF? Why's it green?".
Well, guess what I did. Embered it like it was a regular old Zubat and moved on. How naive I was......

X75flames March 3rd, 2010 6:40 PM

Havent gotten one in Plat, but my first was a shiny pidgy in fire red, I was like all "Holly crap! Dont die dont die dont die!" Then I got a shiny Golbat, but I cant find her now.... I think it got deleted :'(

MudQuil March 4th, 2010 1:49 PM

I've only ever had two shinies... my first was a Raticate in a route next to the Fight Area.

And My Second was in FireRed. A Pidgey. And it was the first Pokemon I caught.

That's gotta be A Million to One chance...

Captain Riolu March 4th, 2010 2:31 PM

It was a Graveler in FireRed. I was the happiest little child to actually have my first legit shiny.

joshk_bra March 4th, 2010 7:15 PM

beside silver verison, i found a shiny pochena in ruby, but sadly it was before they game me pokeballs =[. then in platinum i found a green zubat in a cave =]

o yeah also i ran into a shiny nidorino, in the safari zone fml =[

Thursday March 5th, 2010 9:49 PM

My one and only shiny pokemon was an electrode i found in Mauville underground in my sapphire version.

Dreadnought March 5th, 2010 9:54 PM

In Diamond my first shiny was a hatched Nincada which really surprised me since I couldn't tell the difference between a shiny and regular colored ones.

NAGATO March 5th, 2010 10:17 PM

My first shiny was a magikarp, which i traded a level 100 magikarp for xD
o3o

Zenox9120 March 7th, 2010 7:47 AM

I've never caught a shiny (besides the Red Gyarados at the Lake of Rage in Gen II) but my friend's traded me a couple shinys. I have a shiny Rayquaza, a shiny Ditto, and probably some others, I just don't know off the top of my head :P

Arma March 7th, 2010 7:51 AM

Other than the red Gyarados, I recently caught a shiny Minun in ruby and a shiny Tentacruel in Platinum

PiPVoda March 7th, 2010 1:16 PM

My first shiny was the Red Gyrados from Silver. But my first shiny from current generations was a shiny Ludicolo I got from my friend, and now I have a shiny starmie that I am keeping forever!


jefflee915 March 7th, 2010 1:34 PM

i haven't caught a shiny in ages...i remember the first shiny i ever saw was in crystal.. it was a blue venonat, then it was the red gyarados and then a dark ponyta but nothing from the newer gens yet

gdmatt March 7th, 2010 11:55 PM

My first was a Level 37 Shiny Linoone in Pokemon Emerald. That is the only shiny I have found myself, and I have played through all the Pokemon games except Pearl several times.

spoink17 March 8th, 2010 9:07 AM

my first shiny in dppt was a shinny starly i saw it in diamond when i first got it it was the first pokemon i ever caught in the 4 gen pokemon games it happend right after i got my first pokeballs i was made though because i hate starly!

firestormx19 March 8th, 2010 10:14 AM

my first shiny was from platinum it was a shiny starly. was testing out the poke radar to see if it could really help me find shines. my first shiny from gold was the shiny onix. it just pop up want i was trading some pokemon and this onix was common. because it would pop up alot in my game. but what was weird was want i evolved it or evolved my shiny rhydon it would turn in to a non shiny ryhorn or steelix. never got any real shinys in the gba games or pokemon diamond.

Meganom March 8th, 2010 11:09 AM

My first Shiny was a Rattata in Leaf Green when I was just catching pokemon to migrate the kanto starters, a Rattata Shiny appeared out of nowhere, and my second Shiny a year later was Rayquaza in Saphire xD

Rei March 8th, 2010 11:21 AM

I honestly dont think ive ever run into a shiny pokemon.
Even if i did i wouldnt of caught it for the mere fact that i dont catch anything that i wont use ha :p

[Typhlosion] March 9th, 2010 8:12 AM

First shiny was my Luxio which i got on accident by chaining and its the only shiny i got :o

Panique March 9th, 2010 8:18 AM

The only shiny I've ever seen in the wild was a shiny Onix, and that was back when I didn't realise just how rare it was to come across them without chaining. I let it go because I didn't particularly want a brown Onix (but the gold Steelix is so pretty, I wish I'd caught it).

I have a shiny Miltank and Cubone from ~RNC~ that I love dearly. ;3; I'd sure love to get a shiny Charmander one day.

shuppet88 March 9th, 2010 8:36 PM

The first shiny pokemon I got in Platinum was a shiny Banette. It is so cute! It's green, and I think I named him Lustre lol.

Tyros March 10th, 2010 7:51 AM

The first shiny I ever ran into in my entire career of playing Pokemon, not counting the Red Gyarados, was a Hariyama in Sapphire.

And to my dismay, it knew Whirlwind.

There was much rage. =__=

Soooo, my first ever caught shiny came from a chain of Hoppip in Platinum. n.n That was the first of many, and now, in an act of revenge to that first Hariyama, I own three and a half boxes of shinies after all my chaining adventures~
Including a Makuhita.

SUCK IT, WHIRLWIND

- Tyros

Porygon-Z March 10th, 2010 8:46 AM

The only shiny I ever caught was a shiny Ghastly! I found it while EV training!

RoxasauceKOD March 11th, 2010 1:45 AM

My first shiny was a pichu, which is kinda redundant now since the release of pikachu coloured pichu <_<

OMG that's exactly what happened to me!

My first shiny in Pearl wasn't one that I obtained myself. It was a Larvitar from the GTS.

empty streets March 11th, 2010 6:17 AM

OMG. Just cought a shiny Marill in the Great Marsh. o_O

SIN1488 March 11th, 2010 7:41 AM

My first shiny was a Pichu. I bet you'll never guess where it came from........ :P

Shakespeare March 11th, 2010 7:48 AM

My first shiny was a random encounter Tentacool =D

Skitty Crazy March 11th, 2010 11:59 AM

On DPPt... Let me see... I believe... It was... A Tangela egg I hatched. For a friend. ^_^ So he certainly got lucky. xP

parkwater March 11th, 2010 12:35 PM

i got a shiny aaron in the emerald game right before i left the tunnel to get to the e4
at 1st i was fraking out b/c i had never seen anything like it and thought my game messed up lol
but never seen 1 on my peral game

Left4Dead March 12th, 2010 5:00 AM

I've never even seen a shiny in Diamond & Pearl but in Platinum I found a shiny Gastly in that place just below Solaceon Town, was timid nature too. Would have been better if it was modest but I still trained it up :D was well happy when I found it lol

Keffin March 12th, 2010 10:22 AM

First shiny, Ditto. I was so happy i almost threw the game in the wall :D

galladeslicer March 12th, 2010 2:03 PM

My first Shiney was a shiny gastly at The Old Chatuo, but sadly i killed it :(

jasonresno March 12th, 2010 3:37 PM

My first shiny is calmly waiting for me in some unsuspecting portion of grass/cave/water. I have not seen or caught a shiny.

enzo51 March 12th, 2010 3:57 PM

My first shiny was Chimecho but I didn't know what to do with it hehe

FalconsDrummer March 12th, 2010 9:37 PM

The only shiny Pokémon I've ever owned was a Mudkip I got in a trade that turned out to be hacked . . . quite depressing, actually. So legitimately, I've never had a real shiny Pokémon yet . . . When I do get one, though, I'll be training it like crazy and using it all the time, no matter what kind of Pokémon it is :P

Shade007 March 13th, 2010 6:16 PM

hmm...
I think it was a Shiny Poochyena at the very beginning of Sapphire.
I was like "Wait...umm......what?...............YES!!!"

AutumnLynnxLove March 13th, 2010 8:24 PM

So I finally came across my first ever shiny since Crystal version.
It was a shin Hippopotas.
In the Elite 4. -.-"

THEN
I came across a shiny Hippopotas in the wild.
Squealed.
And accidentally killed it.
=/

acetrainerzx March 13th, 2010 8:29 PM

A Skarm during Emerald, ahhh good times...

Marx_Ultra March 13th, 2010 8:30 PM

My first shiny was a shiny kricketot in my platinum. I got it the day I got platinum! Lucky me... If you're asking about GBA games, my first shiny was a shiny wingull, lvl 15. Found it when I was about to get locked in battle between two trainers. XD
