Just got HeartGold a week or so ago and just had the weekend to be able to play it. Was in Slowpoke well and there appeared a green Zubat. I had a wee panic as I couldn't remember if I had any pokeballs left but I needent of as I had plenty and managed to get it in one. It is only the second shiny pokemon I've ever caught since GSC and that was in Platinum (I traded for the rest I have/had) and it is only the third I've seen in the wild (seen a shiny wild dratini in the safari zone once but it ran away).

I caught a shiny Pidgey; he's now a gorgeous golden Pidgeot.

I also saw a purple Zubat in Emerald and was like HOLY EXPLETIVE A SHINY ZUBAT and then I realised that's how they normally look.

The first shiny Pokemon I ever caught (Legitimately, and apart from Gyrados in Lake Rage) was a shiny Zubat in Slowpoke well. I have seen a shiny Shinx in Platinum, but I failed to catch it due to having only a master ball at the time.

I found a shiny Donphan on my way up to fight Red, I was lucky as I was just a few steps away from using a Repel :O

I just hate when shinies decide to appear in the Safari Zone. In LG, I saw a shiny Exeggcute but it ran away on me...

My shinies: Lv. 60 Baltoy on Sapphire

I am planning to SR on HG for a black Rayquaza...name him death...or something.

I definitely would have used the Masterball. Shiny Luxray are AWESOME. Besides, you can always get another Masterball, but you can NEVER get another shiny Shinx. What a shame.

^^ She CAN get another shiny Shinx... It's jut very unlikely without trading, chaining or Masuda Method.

All I have found on HG is my lovely shiny Suicune I SRed for. Caught it with the first quick ball. =]

finally after playing hundreds of hours of Pokemon, I have encountered my first shiney. Found a level 40 Ursarig.

Just minutes ago I encountered my fourth.

I booted up my soulsilver after a month's absence, and ran into the safari zone to check for any new species. My FIFTH encounter was a pinkish-purple Murkrow.

I can't believe my luck....And the real kicker is I love Honchkrow, so I KNOW I won't be able to catch it. I find myself in the exact same position as I was all those years ago, just staring at this thing that will soon leave me, uncertain of how I should act.

If you have any advice, please take pity on this poor soul who failed to learn from his past mistakes and share what you can....


I finally got the courage to follow the advice I received and I threw a single ball...it fled.

I can't believe this happened again, on today of all days...

Anyone know where I can go to find someone willing to trade for a shiny murkrow? I don't really even care if it's a hacked one, I just feel like I've been seriously mistreated by these games that I love.

videogamerpat June 8th, 2010 7:40 PM

>_<
 
Lucky... I've never seen a shiny and I've played for years. XD

Eleken June 8th, 2010 10:16 PM

I catch my first shiny too (in HG). It is shiny pidgey, but he has brave nature.:(

But I would love to trade my Shiny Sandslash(he has red spikes,I caught him in Union Cave when he was still a green sandshrew)..but too bad I don't have a wi-fi usb connector...

kathos June 9th, 2010 7:17 AM

Me too.

Shiny Red Gyarados is Cool!

sblunix June 10th, 2010 5:14 PM

I sorta cheated to get my shiny Meganium....
I did soft-reset a bajillion times on SoulSilver, until my starter was shiny chikorita...

Then, I traded over to diamond, started over, and played with my normal cyndaquil and shiny chikorita... I later caught a shiny Staryu on Route 47...

I also have my red gyrados, but since it's an event, I don't count it... So I have my two shinies! ^_^
