What shinies have you legitimately caught in G/S/C??
 
I caught a shiny cubone, dont remember where but purple marowak is pretty sick :] and while grinding silver mt. I caught a shiny tangela!

Kombat May 10th, 2010 10:40 PM

In My Gold I got a Shiny Rattata In like 5 mins of Playing. And then At Ice Path I Got A Shiny Swinub While Grinding

Droidz May 10th, 2010 10:46 PM

I've never caught a shiny in any of my G/S/C games unfortunately.

curiousnathan May 10th, 2010 10:48 PM

I caught in my pokemon gold, a shiny gyarados - obviously. And a shiny swinub out of nowhere. I was stunned.

The Corrupt Plague May 11th, 2010 8:40 PM

A Golbat and a Raticate, which are both long dead.

Kid Coma May 11th, 2010 9:12 PM

Vileplume, Diglett, Machoke and a Steelix (Caught as Onix).

11wildy May 11th, 2010 9:20 PM

The only shiny I ever found in any game was a shiny Pidgey. I caught it, saved and later that day when I tried to start my game it said the save data was corrupt. :(

King of Boos May 12th, 2010 1:30 AM

Other than Gyrados, none that I can think of. Sad I know.

HaloSonic May 12th, 2010 4:38 AM

besides Gyarados, I caught a Shiny Ledyba, and ran into another shiny ledyba even beforehand, but wasnt able to catch it. I have Cleffa and Igglybuff from the Day Care Egg.

Urwaldbewohner May 12th, 2010 5:16 AM

I caught a Shiny Geodude one time doing a monocolor-run, at this run I also saw a Shiny Growlithe(Used Roar) and a Shiny Phanphy whyich fled..

mondays suck May 12th, 2010 6:18 AM

What I can remember now would be an Onix and a Rattata. I don't have the files anymore, but I think I still have a video where I catch the Onix.
I also saw a shiny Sandslash quite recently, but I killed it.

That Rattata was by the way the only non-ground type shiny that i ever found in a game I can think of now.

SunStorm55 May 12th, 2010 4:41 PM

I have caught a shiny Gyarados in Gold. (Obviously!)

Reddo May 12th, 2010 6:21 PM

In Pokémon Cryatal, I've caught a shiny Wooper (pink), a shiny Geodude (pink)... I think that every single shiny pokémon that appears ahead of me is pink! o.O
And, of couse, I've caught the Red Gyarados!

Michfan May 12th, 2010 7:47 PM

Besides Red Gary, I caught a shiny Raticate on Route 38 in Pokemon Silver. Since then, I have not seen a legit shiny. Feels bad, man.

Tanooki May 13th, 2010 12:21 AM

None... well, besides Gyarados, obviously.

Only shiny that I've ever caught in my lifetime was a shiny Rhyhorn... in Leaf Green. As far as GSC, though, no such luck. Of course, I've never really tried all that hard in looking for them, but if I did, I'd probably be rotting away somewhere right now. They are the kind of things that you just have to be lucky enough to run into, and so far, in the GSC generation, I have yet to encounter a shiny Pokemon.

I still love my shiny Rhyhorn in LG, though. You can't take that away from me. =P

Jacob77 May 13th, 2010 8:45 AM

Shiny Krabby , Shiny Krabby , Shiny Kingler (Evolved from another Krabby.) , Shiny Bellsprout ... Hmmm .... Seen a Shiny Machop and a Shiny Magnemite ... The first one I accidently got a shock and dropped my Gameboy (It turned itself off ;_;) And the other 1 decided to run away >.<.
Luck huh :P?
And ofc I borrowed the game to someone who decided it would be hilarious to restart the game AND save .... *Headbutts the wall*

Dawn May 13th, 2010 10:25 AM

Golbat and Oddish

x3 Both in Gold. o.O

I don't remember any others...

blue May 13th, 2010 11:11 AM

Sadly, none :( The only shiny i've ever legitly caught was a Shinx in Pokemon Diamond.

Ceecee_101 May 14th, 2010 3:43 AM

I caught the red Gyarados of course, I had to trade that over from another game though because i KO'ed the one of gold because I thought my blue one was better.

I found a shiny Raticate in Route 10, caught it, dropped my gameboy and the batteries fell out. If only I had saved..

I also found a shiny Geodude in the Rocket Warehouse in Mahogany Town. It self-destructed itself. :(

Then I finally caught a shiny Ursaring at Mount Silver, I saved my game and everything was fine. My cousin then took his gold version back and traded it to his Crystal where the internal battery died and I lost my Ursaring.

I found a shiny Girafarig as well and my PC box was full so I couldnt catch it.
I also found a shiny Pidgey, which I KO'ed by accident :(

I also found a shiny Drowzee which I caught and I still have. So thats good :)

I found a few shinies from the ODD egg too, but i guess everyone kinda did.

Jammy-182 May 15th, 2010 12:10 PM

I caught a shiny Ratatta once in my many years of playing silver. unfortunately the internal battery decided to run out so now its gone! :(

yomamathecableguy May 15th, 2010 7:07 PM

The only shinies I ever caught in G/S/C were Gyarados, Rattata, and I believe a Tangela at Mt. Silver. However, I've hatched dozens of shinies via genetic breeding. I loved the gene system they used in the metallic games.. I wish they still used the same gene-->shiny system in the 3rd/4th gen games. >.>

.Kaiser May 16th, 2010 12:04 AM

Shiny hoothoot yesterday
I'm so friggin' happy
Even though I'm now pretty sure I had another shiny hoothoot.

Sawakita May 19th, 2010 1:03 AM

I caught a shiny nidoran in gold. I don't even remember if it was F or M..

blaze_the_cat May 19th, 2010 1:11 AM

So sad, i have never seen one besides Gyarados.

Cloudfall May 20th, 2010 6:52 AM

A shiny Golbat, which evolved into a shiny Crobat. I'll never forget it. <3. Also, shiny Rapidash, and two shiny Tangelas.

The best thing is, I caught them all from that little grass patch outside Mt. Silver. Some proof of how much grinding I did in Crystal. :s

ChrisTom May 20th, 2010 6:57 AM

Despite playing Pokemon games for the past 7 years I have not caught or seen 1 shiny...

But I guess it's all about luck huh?

Actually it's not. :) I'm currently working on a huge Breeding guide that will detail how to increase your chances of getting a Shiny from an egg from 1:8,192 to 1:32, for any Pokemon, without hacking or doing any kind of Shiny Ditto or whatever glitch. Keep a lookout!

Garland May 20th, 2010 9:29 AM

The shinys I've caught are:

Pidgey
Gyarados
Swinub
Mareep

Sceptile0111 May 21st, 2010 2:33 PM

Well, besides Gyarados (duh), I also caught a shiny Noctowl while grinding in the route left of Ecruteak. I saw a shiny Rattata as well while grinding somewhere else, but I killed it without thinking. >.<

:t254: Sceptile0111 :t254:

Death_Mande May 21st, 2010 2:59 PM

I've caught the Gyarados and an Electrode while helping Lance. I was 6 Years old, so I didn't know what a shiny Pokémon was, so I released the Electrode. I loved Gyarados ever since that day in Silver ^^

Not a problem ^_^ My guide is stickied, however it doesn't have all of the information yet. Keep checking back. :)

Aggron1991 May 25th, 2010 6:49 PM

I never did catch a Shiny on Gold, Silver or any game for that matter.

However, my friend did catch a shiny Quagsire and traded it to me in exchange for a Charizard :)

The Doctor May 29th, 2010 4:38 AM

I found myself a nifty shiny Bellsprout in my Crystal game once. And Of Course The RG

Leophard May 29th, 2010 6:53 AM

The only shiny I remember catching is a shiny Ditto I found somewhere in route 34 or 35.
Other then that, I also caught the Red Gyarados once, but I'm pretty sure most people did so as well...

x Necromorph x May 29th, 2010 4:13 PM

I catched the super rare.... Shiny Gyarados. Lol

mew² May 29th, 2010 4:18 PM

Shiny Gyarados obviously.
And I caught a Shiny Mantine when traveling around, trying to get to Lugia.

ACE9 May 29th, 2010 4:57 PM

I have caught 2 shinies(other than Gyarados):
Shiny Golbat in Ruby
Shiny Golbat in Pearl
kinda sucks...

icycatelf May 29th, 2010 5:31 PM

I only recall Golbat (evolved into Crobat), Pidgey (evolved into Pidgeot), Koffing (evolved into Weezing), and the default Red Gyarados. I reset my Silver Version about a year ago and I've yet to find a shiny this time around. I've been taking a break from it since I got HeartGold.

Night Raider May 30th, 2010 11:44 PM

Shiny Gyrados of course :p

And a Shiny Geodude while looking for Tyrouge in that mountain :)

loliwin May 31st, 2010 12:25 AM

I think ive caught a pretty shiny Corsola. XD

Socrotas May 31st, 2010 5:14 AM

Shiny Corsola
Shiny Swinub
Shiny Dunsparce
Red Gyrados

bz5566 May 31st, 2010 11:00 PM

in gold. The first pokemon I saw/caught after getting the pokeballs was a shiny Pidgey

Hybrid Theory June 1st, 2010 5:05 AM

I actually failed to caught the Garyados. -_- however, I nabbed a shiny Drowzee soon after! =D

beca June 1st, 2010 5:18 AM

A shiny drowzee and a shiny spearow in the old version of silver xD

ORegan June 17th, 2010 9:26 PM

I once caught a silver Golbat. I never knew about Shiny pokemon until much later when I looked it up online, but I was at Mt. Silver, and was attacked by a golbat that started to sparkle, I accidentally fainted it and turned off my game, thinking that I accidentllly stumbled upon a rare not-legendary pokemon*I was half right. :P* and intentionally looked for it for another thirty minutes. It was my baby and became an automatic addition to my team. :D

Emlam June 19th, 2010 7:33 AM

I caught a shiny Hoothoot. Ooooh. Hoothoot. :P

HaloSonic June 19th, 2010 10:19 AM

I caught a Shiny Goldeen 2 days ago while doing my gym leader chalenge. I was lucky I saw it, I had the game running at about 2500% and never saw the sparkle, but I noticed it was a different color to the ones I was fighting earlier in the morning.

Emlam June 19th, 2010 11:53 AM

I caught a shiny Koffing.
And accidentally shut off the game before I could save. Oops. :P

markywoodin91 June 19th, 2010 12:50 PM

i found a shiny hiriyama and it used whirlwind....that sucked. but not even a week later i caught a shiny smeargle

JAK3 June 19th, 2010 4:31 PM

I got a Shiny Pidgey awhile ago..

mortisha June 19th, 2010 4:56 PM

Only the shiny Gyarados :| I'm lame.

Mewtwo152 June 21st, 2010 5:57 PM

Gyarados. Also, Snorlax, and Gastly.
Only by chance, did Gastly appear. My cousin told me about soft-resetting, and demonstrated on Snorlax, where I then caught it.

Thunderhead June 23rd, 2010 8:30 PM

Shiny Beedrill (lv18)
Shiny HootHoot (lv12)
Shiny Poliwrath (Lv42)
Shiny Magnaton (hell yes) (lv82)

o0PinkSquid0o June 23rd, 2010 11:00 PM

My first and only legit shiney was a Drowsy just outside Goldenrod! :D

krillian June 24th, 2010 1:42 AM

Graydos, in Heart Gold - level 30
Graydos in Gold - level 86

Crobat in Diamond level 100

I have found about 5 in hacks........(I am so lucky or unlucky because I can't keep them!)

There all the ones I have.....

ChrisTom June 24th, 2010 4:00 PM

OMFGWTFBBQ114!!!!!

I JUST CAUGHT MY FIRST EVER SHINY IN A POKEMON GOLD ROM!!!

I am doing a challenge thing and while I was grinding not only did I see my first ever shiny, but I caught it! Oh it's so totally awesome! It's just a Bellsprout, but it's still my first shiny which makes me really happy!

o-/< <- this is Bob June 24th, 2010 4:11 PM

I napped myself a shiny ditto. =3

Sephirothxx June 24th, 2010 5:55 PM

My shinies in gold and or crystal
 
The shinies I've caught are a shiny cleffa and that red gyarados.

I wish I had one. Thatd be awesome.

Kip June 25th, 2010 2:45 AM

Recently I started a replay of my old Silver game since I turned it on to find my old game mysteriously gone. :/

Anyways, I was training up this Eevee for aaaaaaages to get it to evolve into a lovable Umbreon and I thought the best place to do this would be Route 26 since I hadn't beaten the League then. No monies, only 2 pokéballs and what do I find? It's only a shiny Raticate! :O

I tried weakening it, putting it to sleep etc and I threw my one Fast Ball and it didn't work. Now I'm faced with a dilema - the only Pokéball I had left was the Master Ball. What do I do? On the one hand I'm never going to see a shiny again in the wild like this, but on the other it's only a Raticate.

In the end, I caught it and named it Woosh. :)

Azure-Supernova June 25th, 2010 4:27 AM

Just a Tentacool this once. Always swore I'd crack open my Gold again and work it into a team... just never got around to it...

LyokoGirl5000 June 25th, 2010 1:12 PM

I caught a shiny Tentacool while leveling for the fighting type gym. It's a male, nicknamed SHINE.

And, of course, the Red Gyarados.

xxChazxx June 27th, 2010 6:18 AM

Only a shiny Weedle.

Pretty awesome when evolved into a Beedrill. I have long since erased that data and started over numerous times.

Charizard★ June 29th, 2010 6:13 AM

I only caught a Shiny Scyther. But, i beat the league with it ^^

Jack of trades July 5th, 2010 6:13 AM

I was grinding with totodile before i got pokeballs (so I could whip ??? a new face) and this Hoothoot has purple eyebrows. At the time I thought it was a glitch. NOW I HATE MYSELF

myrrhman July 5th, 2010 7:35 AM

I fought a Shiny Pineco, but it selfdestructed...

Jack of trades July 11th, 2010 3:39 AM

Haven't you ever evolved a thing!

Limey-chan July 11th, 2010 3:48 AM

I haven't caught many shinies at all (Except Gyarados, obv). I think I may have caught a shiny Pidgey/Sentret once when I was grinding on the early routes, dunno.

I don't really go out of my way to look for and catch shiny Pokemon tbh.

Emlam July 13th, 2010 10:27 AM

How do you "look for" shinies, anyhow? Walk around a lot? :P
I ran into a shiny Donphan today on my way to rematch Red. I had absolutely nothing that inflicted a status condition (except for thunder wave, but ... Ground type) so I used my one Rock-type attack (T-tar's Rock Slide) to get it down to 1/3 HP and the weakest thing I had in my party (Ampharos + Headbutt) to get it down a little bit further without killing it. >.<
It escaped 2 Ultras, a Great Ball, a Heavy Ball *ran out of normal ones*, and a Fast Ball, but I caught it with the 2nd Fast Ball.

Now I just need a really *good* Pokemon in Shiny form. :P

The Corrupt Plague July 13th, 2010 7:07 PM

I caught a Golbat in Victory Road and a Raticate on Route 39 on Crystal. Unfortunately, both of them died with my file and I hope they both rest in peace.

mikey July 15th, 2010 5:56 PM

Besides the Gyarados, I caught a shiny Hoot-Hoot in my Pokemon Gold. It was pretty awesome as a Noctowl.

EmeraldSerenade July 15th, 2010 6:18 PM

Shiny Geodude. Oh, and a shiny ditto. I didn't really know what a shiny was back then xD

Emlam July 15th, 2010 6:32 PM

I know, innit? :D Just like Ash's.

wolfaru July 15th, 2010 7:06 PM

I've caught shiny Gyarados and a shiny Tentacool.
That's it sadly...

Charizard★ July 15th, 2010 7:11 PM

Gyarados and a Scyther :P

pokeman2121 July 16th, 2010 1:37 AM

I've never seen a shiny in G/S/C. But I have legitimately caught a few in Emerald and Diamond.

sab July 16th, 2010 5:17 AM

garydos. the first wild pokemon I saw was a shiny pidgey, so I thought all wild pokemon looked like that, and ran...

Maydevoir July 19th, 2010 3:15 PM

Of course, the Gyarados in the Lake of Rage, but I also caught a shiny Meowth in the route before Vermilion City.

Shadow_Aura_64 July 20th, 2010 2:20 AM

Metapod and Krabby. Didn't bother training either of them.

Rapidash July 24th, 2010 7:21 AM

In all of my years of playing Pokemon, completing most of the games and completing the Dex' in Silver I've never seen a shiny.

FM actual L

but, as in my sig. I'll sell my soul for a shiny Ponyta

xxChazxx July 24th, 2010 8:16 AM

I really wish that shininess was still related to a Pokemon's IV's.

darkmagus July 25th, 2010 9:36 AM

A shiny Gyarados of course, a ditto, a doduo, a elekid (egg) and a Noctowl. ajajajaaj looking back i played Pokemon crystal a little too much XD

Lycanthropic-Manx July 25th, 2010 11:02 AM

...Saw a shiny Rattata once...

I have the worst friggin' luck when it comes to shinies!

RubyHacker August 10th, 2010 10:16 PM

A shiny tentacool in Gold but i was 8 so i didn't know it was so rare and i pwned it :P

shuichixryuichi August 12th, 2010 6:27 PM

Theres a 50% percent chance of getting a shiny Pokemon from the Day Care mystery egg.
From that Ive gotten a shiny Igglybuff and Magby. :)
In the wild below Ecruteak I caught a shiny Hoothoot. :P

cloud_felipe August 14th, 2010 7:07 AM

I caught a shiny Caterpie and also a golden pikachu

Ahseyo August 21st, 2010 12:34 AM

I got a shiny Pidgey, and also found a shiny Rattata. That's about it for me, I think. And I've spent countless of hours grinding and trying to catch every pokémon I can find.

Mirby August 21st, 2010 1:28 AM

The only shiny I've ever caught. An "I" Unown...

Darkfire_Danny August 21st, 2010 2:30 AM

Even though I've played through Crystal many a time and hatched the Mystery Egg loads of times, I've never got the Shiny from it despite it being 50% Shiny :/ . I've got a few in Gen 3 and loads in Gen 4 though so it's all good :D .

Superjub August 22nd, 2010 8:21 AM

I never caught a shiny in G/S/C (excluding the shiny Gyarados, of course.). ;_; The only shiny Pokemon I have ever caught have been in the 4th Generation games. xD

Gardenia101 August 22nd, 2010 11:00 AM

I never hace a legit shiny pokemon, but I have caught 2 shinies- a Magicarp (I wasn't thrilled about that one) and a Weedle

EDIT:Oh, and the red gyrados, of course.

Enigma August 30th, 2010 6:54 PM

Shiny Gligar in Gold. I almost ran out of Ultra Balls, though. D:

Gonzo September 9th, 2010 5:04 AM

It's weird but most of my shinies in G/S/C were poison, I still remember my first- shiny Koffing :)
I had also: Victreebell (from Bellsprout), Crobat ( one from Zubat one from Golbat), Beedrill (from Kakuna), Jumpluff (from Hoppip), Pidgeot( from Pidgey), Noctowl (from Hoothoot), Snorlax and that was very funny- I didn't want Snorlax, I just wanted his Leftovers, but I forgot to teach a Pokemon Thief, fortunately I saved before battle, when I restarted the game Snorlax was Shiny. Kinda cool :) I also had a shiny Sudowoodo and a Hypno (from Drowzee). But my favourite was Tentacruel! It looked awesome in Crystal! I always wanted shiny Skarmory, but I had'nt that much luck :/

Phantasmagoria September 9th, 2010 8:03 PM

Gold: Oddish and Weedle. Different playthroughs
Silver: Donphan
Crystal: Elekid

Yup.

Late September 9th, 2010 8:44 PM

I've caught some:
Gold: Rattata x2 (different playthroughs), Ursaring and maybe Geodude (I kind of remember that it was the first shiny I saw but it's been long time and I think I caught it)
Silver: Raticate
Crystal: None other than the Gyarados as in other games too :D

Ayselipera September 10th, 2010 9:20 AM

I'm pretty sure I only caught a shiny Caterpie in Ilex forest. Besides that I once saw a shiny Delbird in Ice Path, but I didn't have any poke balls on me. Although it wasn't really a total loss since I don't like Delibird to begin with, but there is somehing about encountering a shiny Pokemon that makes my heart aflutter<3

psychomew2 September 10th, 2010 11:58 AM

I caught a purple drowzee in the route right before goldenrod.
I also found a shiny butterfree in the bug catching contest. It always kinda annoyed me that i lost that particular contest, i was hoping that seeing as they are so rare shinies would be worth more points or something, but NOOOOO. Oh well, it makes for a good story XD.
