Just Rattata and Hoothoot so far, but I'm hoping for a shiny Sentret or Nidoran next. =3

Jamie88 October 29th, 2010 5:05 PM

Re-started my Heartgold after leaving it alone for a while, was training Wooper after getting the 3rd gym badge and decided to do the Bug Contest, got myself a lvl13 shiny Pinsir! Well pleased! :) Was only the third pokemon to appear in the park too, and my first go at the contest in this play-through.
He looks bad-ass in blue :D lol Used a lvl10 Drowzee, maybe not the best choice by a mile but he done the job!
This is only ever my second shiny pokemon that I can remember owning/catching since r/b/y and the second was an Onix on the save file I restarted to play the one I am now

bobandbill November 3rd, 2010 1:13 PM

And another shiny again for me! My monotype runthroughs (bug atm) seem to be lucky for me. XD

I was looking for a flying type so I could go to Cianwood again for more training and ran into this one. Was annoying to catch as it didn't want to stay in the ball and kept healing itself as well.

Drake(Elite Four) November 3rd, 2010 1:58 PM

The shiny pokemon I found were a Phanpy on Mt.Silver and a Geodude in the Dark Cave

I've never seen a shiny Pokemon in any of the games I've played. :( I've played all of them.

Fushigidane-Chan November 8th, 2010 3:07 PM

I only found a Shiny Magikarp in Blackthorn, within a month of the game's release.

Bliss23 November 9th, 2010 11:20 AM

Last month I started Soul Silver again and the most terribly thing happened to me :s
There I was on the tall grass right before Cherrygrove city and a Caterpie SHINY appears to me ..I had forgotten that I didn't have any poke-balls, so I fought it and left it with little HP, I clicked the poke-balls button and I saw no poke-balls..
I turned off my DS and have not played it untill today xDD

Panfisha November 10th, 2010 6:46 AM

While EV training on grimer in Celadon city, I found and caught a shiny grimer! Only my 3rd legit found shiny so far in SS.

rstevenson1976 November 11th, 2010 5:34 PM

after playing since original r/b/y I found my first shiny ever!!! an impish Tentacool.

<<does the happy dance>>

yes they are easy to notice! a) they will most likely be a different colour, and b) there willl be a little gleam of stars when you encounter it! happy catching!

Hypno November 12th, 2010 6:23 PM

I got a shiny Poliwag and a shiny Abra in SS.

XDragonRiderX November 12th, 2010 9:48 PM

first time through Viridian Forest, found a shiny caterpie. On a side note, I caught a shiny rattata on Dark Future. No hax for both, LOL. So lucky :]

Rankurusu November 12th, 2010 10:00 PM

I caught a shiny Miltank out of nowhere the other day.

Sammuthegreat November 13th, 2010 2:14 AM

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/480d.png This little chap is still my one and only shiny :) (except the Red Gyarados of course but he doesn't really count)

Fithboy November 13th, 2010 9:49 AM

Guess what... I found a shiny Gyrados! Oh my goodness I can't belive it :P!

Biker Jesse November 15th, 2010 3:57 PM

Merged your thread with the Official HGSS Shiny Pokemon thread.

And well I guess it's just a matter of luck. Mayb you can trade it for a better shiny if someone else wants it (and some collectors probably do), and it's better than say seeing a shiny Pokemon at the part of the game when you don't have any Pokeballs yet. =p

Polizard November 16th, 2010 1:57 AM

Currently i have a Shinny Ho-oh and a shinny Ratatta

Oblivion Wing November 16th, 2010 2:40 AM

I got a shiny Bronzor a while back from my pokewalker. I was like :O and since then it's been one of my strongest pokemon on my team alongside with my shiny Umbreon, took me a while to get a shiny Evee :)

Really? Just that apparently having shiny Pokemon from the Pokewalker is supposedly really really rare... (something about only a few id numbers, some hidden in the game, matching lets you be able to find shiny Pokemon on it, and if you have those numbers you would also have a high chance to find shiny pokes via the pokewalker. The chance to have those numbers was something in the millions or greater? And the chance for a shiny Pokemon according to those who looked at coding was 1/32 if so - otherwise it was 0!)

...most interesting. Did you find any other shiny Pokemon on that Pokewalker, and could you post a picture?

Sammuthegreat November 16th, 2010 8:00 AM

I just bumped into my second ever shiny (Red Gyarados not included of course) on my current Pearl Nuzlocke run.........
http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/399d.png hurr durr...




Oh good. She wasn't the first Pokemon I saw on that Route so I won't be using her although I did catch her just because she's rare.

Spirit Albarn♫ November 16th, 2010 8:36 AM

I encountered a shiny mareep yesterday night while looking for a mareep to add to my team
soo cool, i almost killed it because i wasent paying attention xD but i caught it 8D

Jerpy November 16th, 2010 12:25 PM

I managed to catch a Shiny Rattata before in my old game file...
Haven't seen any in the new file.
I'm kinda wondering if battling without the battle scene off could affect my chances of seeing a shiny... Hmm...

72pokemonmaniac27 November 17th, 2010 8:11 AM

I got a shiny Mudkip from Steven in Silph Co. :) i didn't even have to do any soft resets!:) My first ever shiny on S.S. ^-^ well other than the Gyarados of course, but it doesn't count to me because everyone gets one haha.:)

I'll ignore the character bypass this once, but don't do it again as that's against the rules. =p

Anyways, I suggest seeing if you gt any more shiny Pokemon from your walker then and posting if you do get any more - it would be interesting if that coding can be confirmed or not after all. After all, a 1 in 32 chance for shiny Pokemon from the walker is something you should try to take advantage of. ;p

Zeph. November 19th, 2010 10:21 AM

I was playing my DS on the train. Randomly walking through some grass, as you do, and then one of these guys appears:

BOOM!

I wanted to yell it out, but I was on public transport so... >w< It's got a spot on my team for the time being, I called yer MapleFace xD

Shiny Gardevoir November 19th, 2010 2:35 PM

Haven't found any so far, transferred some from Peal though...

Nohr November 19th, 2010 2:59 PM

Not my first, but some of my favourites are...

Charizard, Umbreon, and Shuckle, haha :D

Natester November 19th, 2010 3:12 PM

I just got my first real shiny in my heart gold version. While I was ev-training my Eruption heatran on the lake on route 35, I encountered a shiny psyduck. I caught it with a quick ball.

thedestinedblade November 19th, 2010 8:38 PM

Just caught a shiny Oddish not too far into my new file in SS. Was looking for a Paras in the Ilex forest actually. Not sure if I wanna evolve into a Bellossom or Vileplume. :D

eevee203 November 21st, 2010 4:27 PM

How many shinies have you caught/seen so far? I've seen 1 in my Japanese HeartGold, it was a Zubat.

Well, we already have an active Shiny Pokmon discussion thread, so I've merged your thread with that one.

And hurrah for Pink crobat. =D

Nudge November 23rd, 2010 4:07 PM

I decided to play my sisters SS this morning (first time I've played Pokemon in a month or 2) because I was bored haha but anyways, I caught a Shiny Teddiursa inside Mt. Silver within like 2 mins of entering :D

I can't believe my luck. Within one week of finding my shiny Rattata:

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/2/2c/Spr_4h_073_s.png
Double BOOM! :D

I was looking for a Mantine, but found something even more precious >:D I won't be using him in the team though ^^' He's a collectable.

chiperoo December 1st, 2010 9:31 PM

I was trying to hatch a female Snorunt for someone & since I had a Froslass in the day care center I figured out of 2 eggs one was bound to be female, so I got my 2 eggs and went to go hatch them. Low and behold the 2nd egg is female AND SHINY! I CANT BELIEVE I HATCHED A SHINY ON MY 2ND EGG. I have been trying forever to hatch a shiny Vulpix. I've gone through idk how many eggs and I get a diff shiny when I dont even try -_- I'm still excited. This is the first shiny I've ever hatched!

slyViper December 8th, 2010 10:26 AM

ARGH!
 
Ok, I don't know if anyone else has had this problem, but I have been quite frustrated as far as shinys are concerned. I have logged well 600+ hrs in my pokemon hg and I have yet to EVER see one. The only way I have ever obtained one was people making them for me. I want to make sure I'm not completely insane about this, but is it normal that I haven't seen a shiny yet? Also, I've tried to do the breed method. I've been breeding pokemon an easy 500+hrs of the 600+ with a Japanese Ditto and my pokes and have yet to ever seen one that way either. Am I just unlucky? Or just impatient, because my patience about it is wearing thin T_T

your unlucky and impatient...a combo.....they seem to wanna appear when you least expect it! ....so keep tryin your day will come to have an original shiny!

...but then again i caught three shinies in less than 4oo hours of gameplay so maybe i shouldn't be talkin...im pretty lucky

Zapdogre December 8th, 2010 12:28 PM

caught the red Gyarados, obviously, and I kept resetting my game so I could have a shiny Lugia, it worked! I also got a shiny Ratatta, which I raised to level 100 and EV trained XD

Tumalaz December 8th, 2010 12:58 PM

I have two on my HeartGold, a Shiny Manectric and a Shiny Crobat, but both are traded in from a friend of mine who quit playing his Platinum.

Gonna soft reset for a shiny Kyogre though

dragoniteuser December 8th, 2010 1:03 PM

So far, i've caught a Shiny Sentret, Headbutted shiny Pineco, and found a Shiny tentacruel aswell!
i'd say i'm pretty lucky!

Same story here...given how many of those hours were spent running around in the grass EV training various pokemon, I'm actually surprised I haven't found any shinies at all.

Given my luck, I'll end up running into a shiny Graveller who will promptly Selfdestruct before I can throw a ball at it. D:

slyViper December 8th, 2010 2:22 PM

Can you guys rub your luck off on me, it's been very sad for me TuT I got my GF and I got HG and SS as a birthday present for her and me and she found a shiny weedle 16 minutes into game play ^^;; so yeah I'm being incredibly patient, I'm just trying to figure out why variables aren't working in my favor. As much as I want to blame my game =P I know I can't, it really all comes down to luck. All I have to say is whenever that little sucker shows up, I have my master ball I've been saving the whole game, for the one moment that shiny pokes its head out to catch and raise it all the way to the top!

Jenayru December 8th, 2010 5:41 PM

After three years of playing Pokemon games, I found a shiny jigglypuff in the safari zone. I ended up catching it.
A few days later I saw a shiny clefairy; it got away. :(

Bellacrose December 9th, 2010 3:42 AM

The only shiny I have ever found was a shiny meowth while I was training in the magnemite area. :I But my friend reeeaaaally wanted it so I just traded it to her oAo...

BlazikenXD December 9th, 2010 9:18 AM

I have never found a shiny! Im keeping my master ball incase I find one! :)

FrostPheonix December 9th, 2010 10:39 AM

2nd Shiny! (including red gyarados) a shiny psyduck!

BlazikenXD December 11th, 2010 3:15 PM

Only Gyrados :) Does that count?

Dr. Montague December 11th, 2010 4:30 PM

This is gonna take a while :O

rainbow December 12th, 2010 1:44 AM

Excluding Gyarados, I've never caught a legit shiny :(

Bowlstir December 12th, 2010 4:31 PM

Only shiny i found was a shiny caterpie on an emulator...
so none IRL yet

Haonn December 13th, 2010 5:32 AM

I got a shiny mr.mime, in the freaking safari zone ;/
I tried catching it, but it fleed... never had a shiny before that - well yeah, the shiny gyarados, but really, that just doesn't count.-

Migit78 December 13th, 2010 6:22 AM

Ive only ever seen 2 Shinys in my own game and they were Noctowl and Sudowoodo, though this was back on the original Gold version. I caught them both though :)
It wasnt until I met the shiny garados, i realised what shinys were and that my Sudowoodo was one. lol

Scythe_Ironclaw December 13th, 2010 3:05 PM

Bellacrose December 13th, 2010 8:07 PM

I remember when the shiny gyarados was first introduced in old gold/silver. I didn't know what shinies were so I was convinced it was an evil team rocket robot and that was why I could never catch it :I I was such a winner back then lol

Jenayru December 14th, 2010 2:38 PM

Whilst leveling up my Gyarados at the base of Mt. Silver, I found a shiny ponyta! I was so ecstatic my dog came in the room real concerned. :DD

MichaelaTheUchiha December 15th, 2010 3:59 PM

I was training one of my pokemon, I forget which, and I saw a shiny Tangela before I killed it and I captured it with a quick ball. My second legit shiny that isn't Gyarados. Darkrai doesn't count, although I did get it in a trade. XD

Galdr December 15th, 2010 5:48 PM

I run into some shinies... XD on random days...
Ran into a shiny Sentret Male on HG. He was Jolly so I trained him~
Then I began RNG-abusing for them. :P

PaxAmericana December 17th, 2010 7:34 PM

I have never saw a shiny through legit methods, except for Red Gyarados!

Weber December 18th, 2010 7:21 PM

ive gotten alot of shinies on soul silver so far, i have an abra, a pacherisu and farfetch'd but then again i did medusa method for them, atleast i know i did with pachirisu and farfetch'd not really that sure with abra though.

but i did get the red gyradoes with a premier ball though :)

other shinies ive gotten are a wingull while playing emerald and a rayquaza while also playing emerald but i soft reset for rayquaza.

otaku-dono December 18th, 2010 7:27 PM

I have a shiny Hoothoot and Machop from SS. Machop was a Safari Zone catch, so naturally I was having heart attacks with every ball it broke out of.

CrZyBlUe December 23rd, 2010 12:41 PM

i got a shiny Growlithe which is now an Arcanine then a week later i think i got an Onix witch is now a Steelix GJ FOR ME :D (also the first shiny I've ever gotten was a shiny Parasect in leaf green i traded it for a shiny Kyogre ands thats my history for shinies btw ive never ever soft reset fer anyone of them i tried the matsuda method but i failed D:

OneAverageTrainer December 25th, 2010 5:08 AM

I found a shiny totodile in 21 resets yesterday.:)

spiderpigryan December 29th, 2010 6:46 PM

i have never found a shiny poke but looking ive got 4 though one was garydos at lake of rage 3 of them from trades lol but still looking really want one though lol

Moonlord December 29th, 2010 7:04 PM

I've encountered a shiny Geodude on Platinum on Route 207.
I've also encountered a shiny fearow but I cant remember which route.
Another is a shiny ponyta on route 207.

LuVrDiSC December 30th, 2010 4:34 AM

i dont care for most shiny's, and i get them all the time now practically give them away. in SS i EV train on Psyduck/Golduck, so the 1st shiny i have seen+caught was shiny Girl modest psyduck. in the pond thing rite above Goldenrodcity

RAWR ^_^ December 30th, 2010 5:35 AM

I got a shiny Ekans on Route 33 in SS. Was quite happy that I even encountered a shiny at all to be honest, I never have any luck when it comes to shiny pokémon x_x

Moonlord December 30th, 2010 8:13 AM

I found another shiny today just wandering around on the game, it was a Shiny pidgey on one of those noose routes.

123wert50 December 30th, 2010 8:18 AM

I found a shiny Lugia, Ho-Oh, Mew, Garadyos, and I forget the others.

Fithboy December 30th, 2010 8:36 AM

You used the soft reset technique, I presume?

RAWR ^_^ December 30th, 2010 9:40 AM

This is probably off topic, but I really hate how hard they made it to obtain Shiny Pokémon on HG/SS :| I mean really, without the Pokétch it's so much harder. I found out about the Masuda Method though and have just obtained a Japanese Ditto with damn good IVs so that is at least a comfort!

That and I just found out about the RNG abuse thing. Where's the fun in that!? That pretty much guarantees a shiny as when you want, at least with the masuda method the chance is only reduced and it's still down to luck.

Well I guess I can just chain on Platinum and trade them over.

Also, to make this OT...

I have a shiny Gyrados and a shiny Ekans.

Just encountered a shiny Golbat in SS in Victory Road. I was able to catch it in in one Fast ball. It was my first Shiny in the 2nd generation remakes :)

My first shiny was a shiny Floatzel in the safari zone, I was able to throw eight safai ball before it fled. That was my first ever ingame shiny besides Gyarados.

Try the foreign ditto masuda method technique. Increases chance of shiny quite a lot.

Were you SRing for it or was it random? How many Sr's if you were hunting it? Congrats BTW. I was trying for one, but gave up and got a shiny Moltres instead.

Found a shiny Rattata the other day.

In the middle of another shiny hunt on another game, I took a break to play HeartGold, and found a shiny Caterpie the day before my birthday. I had mixed feelings, though, because I really wanted that other shiny on that other game; when I first got the shiny Caterpie, I was angry at it, then I was happy about it about ten minutes later... and it kept switching like that. Coincidentally, just a moment before, I had been thinking about finding a shiny... That's the second time that that's happened to me.

I want to find a shiny on HG/SS that's better than just a Caterpie... xD
I should probably go evolve it now... Depends on whether I want to keep its name GoldnTime(Heart) or rename it Mizuki...

Well, I just started a new game on HG recently, and I wanted to get an eevee of a specific nature/gender (female, sassy btw). Because I spent so long SR for it, I hoped it could be shiny, it wasn't though, so I left and started to grind.

While grinding, I thought it would be funny to bump into a random shiny after all that SRing and not getting one. I then bumped into a shiny pidgey! And it evolves into one of the most epic shinies ever...

Just snagged myself a shiny Yanma from Route 35. I was on my way to re-battle Arnie when I ran into it. It's my 4th total shiny in Soul Silver, the other 3 are Gyarados, Flygon, and Aggron

Steven January 31st, 2011 1:21 PM

After I got my Shiny Snivy on Saturday, I started to hunt in my Soul Silver.

I am breeding a secret Pokemon in Soul Silver through the Masuda Method. I hatched 210 eggs yesterday, I want to hatch 90 today.

I'm planning a shiny Dratini hunt, but atm I have a shiny Flygon, Alakazam, Shinx, Lucario, Phanpy, and Squirtle.

I ran into a shiny Rattata the other day buut, here's the catch. I was pretty much multi-tasking with a chat on hand, eating a small snack and watching TV, while playing HG. XD; Not knowing one of the wild Rattata's I encountered was a shiny I killed it with one move and well, my reaction is self-explainable. I only found out it was shiny after I used the move too, so I guess I'll have to pay attention more for those random shinies. :(

Going through Ilex forest, a shiny oddish appears! Thankfully, I had a low level poke to lower it's hp. Too bad it was lonely in nature. :/

MysticFlygon February 3rd, 2011 1:48 PM

After doing 314 soft resets over the past week I got myself a shiny Squirtle from Prof. Oak.
