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.

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

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.

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!

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...

DUHHHHHHHHH


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
