Your first shiny
 
Isn't it special when you for the first time catches a shiny (exept Gyarados)?. I want you to tell how when and how it felt when you first catched one. For my self so did I encounted my first shiny EVER just a few minutes ago (And yes, I have played pokemon since 2000). I was just going over to the burned tower to catch a Magmar for my pokedex entries and who is the first pokemon I encounter down the ladder? It's a shiny Magmar :D I had my strong team so I would had to be careful but with a paralyzing move and some Ultra balls so did I finally catched it, my first shiny :D

Willows September 8th, 2010 7:06 PM

Awesome!
 
It feels awesome when you first catch a shiny ^^
I just caught mine this morning. A shiny ratata. And i just started playing SS yesterday :D

PlatinumDude September 8th, 2010 7:21 PM

My first shiny I ever caught? A Koffing in Emerald. I still have it.

Garringman September 8th, 2010 8:05 PM

I remember on my first playthrough of Pokemon FireRed I was training my Eevee because at the time I didn't have any way to send it to Emerald to make it become an Espeon, anyway I was surfing around on small area of land above Six Island in a small body of water and a Shiny Tentacruel appeared I can't describe how excited I was when that happened.

alphabetsoup102062 September 8th, 2010 11:04 PM

I remember that my shiny was a shiny Ratatta in HG/SS on my way up to catch Ho-oh. I didn't try to weaken it as my Pokemon were about 30 levels above his, so I just threw an Ultra Ball at it and it was caught.
I felt pretty excited then since I've been playing since LeafGreen and never encountered any before

ngik... September 8th, 2010 11:29 PM

i don't really remember what my first shiny is...
i caught a shiny ponyta yesterday on mt. silver in pokemon ss!!

InfernoHo-Oh September 9th, 2010 12:08 AM

Ahhh in Emerald, a shiny Loudred. I was in the Victory road and looked away from the screen for a sec, and there it was!

Perriechu September 9th, 2010 12:44 AM

Well... it's hard to remember I think it was in FR/LG at route (7?) the one with Jigglypuff near Mt. Moon.
The colour looks like a regular J-Puff colour so it was confusing luckily for me, good ol' Bulbasaur paralyzed it.

Lord_Storm September 9th, 2010 3:45 AM

My first shiny was my Poochyena on Ruby, when I was heading back down to Littleroot to get an amulet coin after defeating my mum, which brought back memories when I used to read Pokemon X before the guy stopped updating.

Sydian September 13th, 2010 9:13 PM

Whismur on Ruby. I didn't know what a shiny was, but I caught it cause I thought it was sick and I felt bad for it. lol I don't have him anymore, but every shiny after that, I do have.

Tanooki September 13th, 2010 9:47 PM

My first shiny was a Rhyhorn in LeafGreen. Not only was that in itself cool, but the fact that I caught it in the Safari Zone (which, as you know, is a lot harder than catching Pokemon anywhere else) made it all that much better.

FYI, that is still the only shiny that I've caught, to this very day.

Rando September 13th, 2010 10:17 PM

I caught a shiny Noctowl in Crystal. I remember I was hunting for a legendary and thought that I found one, since the music was different, but it turned out to be a different coloured Noctowl.

aarcaa September 13th, 2010 11:57 PM

i caught a shiny geodude in fire red that was my first shiny :)

Urimas September 14th, 2010 4:21 AM

mine was a shiny buneary in platinum :)

RulerArceus September 14th, 2010 4:25 AM

None!But My Friend got a Shiny Geodude.And according to him,"Who Cares?I AM ULTIMATE!Like Shadow in Sonic the Hedgehog."

Assault September 14th, 2010 4:37 AM

I've ran into a fair few shiny's in my gaming history. The only one's I can remember were Shiny Weavile and Shiny Starly. :P

Dakotah September 14th, 2010 4:40 AM

Sorry, I've never seen a shiny Pokemon (except for Gyarados, of course) and never caught one. My congrats to those who have.

Echidna September 16th, 2010 7:06 AM

my first shiny was actually that red gyradous from lake rage, i know, my bad luck, but then i got a shinf tailow and zigzagoon in ruby and trained the tailow and it really felt good.

xPsychosocial September 16th, 2010 10:14 AM

I wasn't too phased when I caught my first shiny, it was a Geodude, I'm not too fond of that Pokémon. It had a useless nature anyway so I traded it. I've hatched and caught quite a few shiny Pokémon since then.

Meadow September 16th, 2010 11:58 AM

Lol, of course Gyarados, but other than that, I caught a Venonat first in LeafGreen.

Mickeycricky September 17th, 2010 8:24 AM

My first ever shiny was a Diglett I came across in Diglett cave. At the time, it was my first Pokemon game and I had no clue what a shiny was, so I just thought it was a boy Diglett since it had a blue nose. Needless to say I KO'd it.

My second shiny was a Nidoran in the Safari zone. I went to click ball, but instead I clicked run away -___-

Ah wow that sucks :|
I also found a few shinies like electrike, pidgies, zubat, etc. I caught a few of them but got unlucky on some like electrike.

I feel like most of the shiny encounters are with Pokemon that people don't even care about, or even like. Like the Geodude lol.

Aquacorde September 18th, 2010 10:19 AM

My first shiny ever was a shiny Marill in Emerald. He evolved to Azumarill and is now being taken care of on my sister's Diamond game.

LucasFinder September 18th, 2010 12:39 PM

Woo. I was training my weedle in Victory road to get a Beedrill to fill up my dex and BAM. Shiny Golbat. I was so excited. First.Shiny.Ever

Lickeh Lickeh September 18th, 2010 12:58 PM

I remember getting shiny Torkoal in Pokemon Ruby in Fiery Path; I was real exited. I think I went on to using it as breeding Pokemon for prefect Torkoal's.

AleksanderU September 18th, 2010 1:24 PM

I remember getting a shiny zubat in pokemon crystal :D I don't remember where, but I think it was in the cave before Azalea. The cave might be called Union cave, but I don't remember xD

Dark Pulse94 September 18th, 2010 1:34 PM

the first shiny I encountered was a Shiny Skarmory, in my emerald version, back in 2007, I have since migrated it to SS...

the First shiny I found, but didn't catch was on my SS version, it was a shiny raticate, and I was in the Safari zone

Jenayru September 19th, 2010 7:29 AM

I just caught my first shiny yesterday. It was a jigglypuff in the safari zone (HG). I was really surprised, 'cause I've playing for three years and never encountered one. Thankfully the fourth safari ball caught him. ^_^

GlalieX September 19th, 2010 7:52 AM

I got a shiny Sudowoodo in Gold.

Darkhunter101 September 19th, 2010 7:55 AM

My first shiny was a shiny Voltorb and i caught it in New Mauville in either Sapphire or Emerald. Blue shinies are the coolest 8)

Zebeedoo September 19th, 2010 9:34 AM

My first ever shiny was a Nincada back on Emerald (that was my first ever PKMN game), I was like "WOAHWOAHWOAHWHATISTHIS" when I saw it. I caught it, then trained it till it evolved into a Ninjask, and with that, I also got a shiny Shedinja. :D Two shinies for the price of one ~! I don't have it anymore though. :(

Megaman765 September 19th, 2010 9:37 AM

The first shiny I got was the shiny zigzagoon from the old Pokemon center in new york. I lost the berry it was holding though.

Martins September 19th, 2010 1:46 PM

Pidgey.

It was in Pokémon Firered when I first encountered it. I caught it because it looked cool.

Pandesal September 19th, 2010 3:51 PM

Raticate in Pokemon Crystal, in that route right before Victory Road (from Johto). It was after I finished the game, so I didn't really do anything with it. I remember being quite excited about it, though.

DarkAlucard September 19th, 2010 3:57 PM

The first one beside the Red Gyarados was a Poliwag in the area near Mt. Silver in Gold. I was so excited. After that in all the games (except in Emerald) i've found at least a shiny in the wild.

Kinoko_Otoko September 19th, 2010 5:51 PM

Swinub in Gold. It ran away.

That's right. You kids today have it easy; your shinies don't run away.

In the current crop of games, I've caught 3 shinies in FR, only one of which I was attempting to find. Fearow (huge disappointment) and Persian (mild disappointment; I got a shiny cat?). They've grown on me though. Then I got a shiny Hoppip on that one island in FR that only has Hoppips. I think it only took me a couple weeks of running back and forth during movies.

Haven't found a non-RNG-manipulated, non-chained shiny since...

I was talking about this topic with a guy on Metalkid's chat box, and he said:

King Gumball September 20th, 2010 1:53 AM

A diglett was my first, but my game broke...... But then the game started working after I restarted it.

Azumi September 20th, 2010 5:19 AM

I was going to the Power Plant in HG when I accidentally went up to a patch of grass (using a bike - it's pretty hard to control sometimes) and there it was, a shiny Fearow. I was pretty excited.

Too bad I don't use it at all :/ It IS pretty 'shiny' and cool.

jadecavy September 21st, 2010 9:12 AM

My first shiny was in gold (yes, gold, not HG, a long time ago, I know). It was the first ursaring I encountered, and at first I thought all ursarings were like that. When I began to see others, I realized that mine was the odd one. I thought it was a glitch or something at the time, as I didn't know what a shiny was. It wasn't until gen 3 that I found out what they were, and by that point I'd caught 3 (other than the red gyardos in G, S and C): Ursaring in gold, tentacool in gold, and hoot-hoot in crystal. I still have my ursaring and tentacool, but I lost my hoot-hoot when I reset crystal prior to getting SS and Pl.

The first shiny I encountered in SS was a linoone while working on my pokedex in the safari zone, but sadly it fled on me. I've encountered quite a few others training and wandering since, such as a tentacool, a drowsee, and a pidgeotto, all of which I've caught. They all have average IVs, though, and aren't really usable for much.

In Platinum, I'm only at giratina, trying to catch one with decent IVs and nature (I can't RNG yet), and haven't encountered any shinys.

Aakeosu September 21st, 2010 3:44 PM

My first shiny was a random Cubone in Platinum during a swarm. A few hours later, a shiny Starly appears. Both were evolved, but eventually traded. Recently, I've hatched a shiny Pichu, with Volt Tackle.

Project. September 21st, 2010 4:23 PM

I have encountered possibly one of the most hard and inside-killing ways to get it. My first shiny ever was when I was driving to my cabin house in the woods, I was playing Diamond and I went in the Safari Zone. I was just walking around, and then I saw the Quagsire shadow appear. But then I noticed the sparkles and the purplish on it, so I knew it was a shiny. I was amazed. And I didn't know what to do. I was afraid that it would flee. So I just threw a Pokeball. The first one failed and I closed my eyes expecting to hear those shoes run away. Then I broke down and threw another, and I caught it.

I don't know what those chances are of catching a shiny without moving any closer in the Safari Zone.

But I was extremely happy. I had no idea how to use the Pokeradar and I literally screamed when I heard the Pokeball click. Sadly, I had forgot about it when I wanted to restart my game. It was also on my Pokemon Revolution which I was glad I imported, but I had also forgot about that when I returned the game to Gamestop.

My first and only shiny I have received on my own is gone. But I hope to find more.

chaos11011 September 21st, 2010 4:32 PM

My first shiny was a Paras in Mt.Moon in Lea Green but I didn't know what Shinies were and Released it after hearing it was a Virus.

My second Shiny other than the Red Gyra in SS,was a Zigzagoon in Ruby,you know that Zigzagoon that you must save Prof. Birch from.Let's just say because of the lack of Pokéballs swearing was involved. (Happened last month.)

My brohter on the other hand gets lucky and gets a Shiny Adament Marill with Huge Power and transfers it to Diamond at Lvl 5 when I relize it's a Untouched Marill.Then decides to deleate his game out of boredom without offering me the Marill so I could EV it :/

dragoleaf12 September 21st, 2010 4:38 PM

if never caught a shiny but i saw a shiny stanler in the safari zone in emerald

mal'akh September 21st, 2010 5:20 PM

Shiny Krabby on Crystal. It looked silver in those games, so I nicknamed it Silver. Evolved it into a Kingler, then my internal battery died. Wanna know how badly I cried? 8D

JirachiFan99 September 21st, 2010 11:00 PM

the first shiny i've ever found was a zubat, the first shiny i caught was Voltorb, but the saddest thing that ever occured to me was at january this year, i found a shiny gyarados while EV training my shelgon, i caught it, and a few minutes later, i was like: "oh darn it, HGSS comes out in at least 2 months, i got ripped off."

Eliminator Jr. September 21st, 2010 11:05 PM

I've never caught a shiny in a Pokémon game except for the Red Gyarados. My cousin's caught a shiny Beedrill on Gold version and a shiny Bidoof on Pearl version, and my brother's friend caught a shiny Zubat on Diamond version.

Kinoko_Otoko September 22nd, 2010 4:01 PM

I would be furious to see a shiny bidoof. It's like the game is insulting you. DERP

BladeAkio99 September 22nd, 2010 4:31 PM

My first shiny I have ever caught (Besides Gyrados) was a shiny Ponyta.

I adored that Ponyta because of it's blue flame that was on it's mane.


I caught it using the Poke-radar on my platinum game. I was trilled when I got to 40 and even more excited when a sparkle was on the grass. I knew that If I missed this opportunity, or step in the wrong grass patch and a Bidoof comes up (which I would send out my level 100 Metagross to squash that little thing for breaking my chain but Bidoof weren't in that route), It would be all over.

I got a Critical hit after using stun spore, which I feared because if it died... well.... lets just hope that don't happen. it was at red plus it was an easy target so attacking may not of been Necessary.

I got it in a shiny red Pokeball and had it trained with my best 5 Pokemon.

This is the same day I found an unclaimed $100 in the woods, but no one was there and no complaints has been made about it. Ironic.

This was on my platinum game, my first game to get, on my birthday, along with my first DsI, which saddens me because I lost the game...

A friend let me have his diamond along with TWEWY. So i hope to get another shiny on diamond and make it my first, second Pokemon game to get.

Superjub September 23rd, 2010 10:23 AM

My first shiny was a Shiny Steelix. It looked so awesome because it was gold. Here's a sprite! :D http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/7/7f/Spr_4h_208_m_s.png

Anyway, I found it when travelling through the Victory Road for the first time in Pokemon Diamond. I had no idea what pokemon could be found in the Victory Road, and I was shocked to see a Steelix (this one was not shiny, btw. ;)) Anyway, after trying to catch it, I gave up. Due to the fact that normally the only way to get it was through trading a Onix with a Metal Coat, I decided that I was going to catch one.

I continued going through the cave, and then I found it. :D It looked amazing in my opinion" :) I managed to catch it, but didn't have any use for it, so I left it in my Box. I've lost my Pokemon Diamond now, though. Luckily, I managed to find a shiny Meowth in Pokemon Soul Silver. :) http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/c/c1/Spr_4h_052_s.png It looks a bit rubbish, but when it evolves, it looks a bit better in my opinion. :D http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/d/da/Spr_4h_053_s.png

littlekid137 October 3rd, 2010 1:38 PM

My first shiny was Raticate. I was so excited about it and I was going to catch it until.... I realized I didnt have any pokeballs

Idiot! October 3rd, 2010 8:17 PM

Insert random filler here.

masterfun101 October 4th, 2010 7:45 AM

My first shiny was RNG'd Cranidos, but i dont count that. Then when I was trying to get a shiny torchic in Sapphire, the Poochyena was shiny. Then a couple months ago I caught a shiny grimer in HG.

Demigod October 4th, 2010 9:18 AM

It was Shiny Onix on Pokemon Red.

RGBY didn't have shinies. However, if you trade a mon from RGBY to GSC, it could become shiny, is that what you meant?

Anyway, my first excluding Gyarados was a Weedle, which I caught and evolved into a Beedrill. My second excluding Gyarados was a Larvitar less than a week later.

Radekal October 30th, 2010 4:21 AM

My first one was a shiny Graveler in Platinum. I was training up my Tentacruel when it just randomly popped up. I was soooo happy :D When I was catching it I prayed for it not to use explosion :D

opticalmask October 30th, 2010 6:47 PM

I haven't caught a shiny yet :(

I've seen two though, I don't remember what they were, but when I saw them each time, I thought my game was glitching (ssh, I was a kid, haha) so I turned it off and blew in the cartridge and stuff.

It was in Gold, by the way. Ahh, memories

Brave Jonah October 30th, 2010 8:21 PM

Game: Pokemon Ruby
Location: Hoenn, Route 201.
First Shiny: Ralts

I remember it vividly. I freaked out and called my best mate and ranted about how cool the blue helmet looked compared to the green. It was when I saw the Pokedex for Pokemon Diamond/Pearl; there stood Gallade in all of his Psycho Cutting glory. So, that did me in; I traded my shiny Ralts (I had just left him in a box unused) over to Diamond where he became a shiny Gallade; I snagged Chimchar as my starter, and I stepped into a new region as a fighting trainer. Since then, I've made a switch to ground type training but still hold a dear place in Box 1 for my shiny Gallade.

Lati-Fan95 October 31st, 2010 3:25 AM

The first shiny I caught (after Gyarados) was Magby on Crystal. I got the egg from the pension and man, I was so surprised and happy when I saw it!^^ I taught it Dynamic Punch, Psychic, Flamethrower and Fire Storm (fun fact: Did you know that the shape of Fire Storm is "fire" in japanese?^^) but unfortunately, I don't have it anymore...^^ But I encountered tons of shinies since them (Zigzagoon, Linoone, Tentacool, Stantler, Lairon, Porygon2 and many, many others...^^)

Actually, it can't. That's like trading a Sinnoh Pokemon to Pokemon FireRed.

Aside from Gyarados in Gold, my first shiny was probably a Slowpoke that I evolved into a Slowking. I still have it, too.

Kid Icarus October 31st, 2010 6:53 AM

My very first shiny was a ryhorn that i found in the last cave before elite 4 in pokemon crystal.

VulpixKid October 31st, 2010 7:04 AM

My first shiny was a Gyarados. I got him from Heart Gold and he's the only shiny i've ever caught :/

Nikorasu October 31st, 2010 10:26 AM

First encounter was shiny geodude, i was like OMG and then i ran out of pokeballs.


FML

Kevin October 31st, 2010 10:49 AM

Mine...? Let me think. I was traveling through Mt. Corenet for fun, and outside in the snowy grass, I found a shiny Snover<3 Oh yeah it's in Platinum. XD\

mikey October 31st, 2010 4:43 PM

My first shiny was a Hoot-Hoot in Gold. Such a long time ago~

The Corrupt Plague October 31st, 2010 7:25 PM

My first ever shiny was a Golbat in Crystal, which his now "dead" because some kid tricked me into deleting the file because he convinced me that it was a very dangerous glitch. I believe that was around seven or eight years ago.

Elder Trainer November 1st, 2010 6:45 AM

Outside of the red Gyarados, I never encountered a shiny until this year, and then I was lucky enough to run into 4 over the course of 3 games. In order:

1. A Zigzagoon in Ruby. I caught it, but accidentally released it from my box when I mistook it for a regular one I'd intended to let go.
2. A Wailmer in the same game. Migrated to Platinum, where it still sits.
3. A Machop in LeafGreen. This is the only one I didn't catch: I lowered its health into the red, but when I went to get a Poke Ball, I accidentally selected Run. I'm still kicking myself.
3. A female Torkoal in Emerald, in Team Magma's hideout. Sits next to my shiny Wailmer in Platinum.

More luck than I ever thought I'd have.

RebelliousDuck November 1st, 2010 7:08 AM

A shiny Shinx in Pearl. I was really excited because I'd never managed to see a shiny in my older games before.

gregory_turner420 November 1st, 2010 11:21 AM

my first shiny was a graveller i caught on mt. coronet that i didnt even notice was shiny, i just caught it to be an hm slave and like a month later realized it was shiny

Zaroas November 1st, 2010 11:27 AM

My first shiny was in FireRed. I was travelling through Viridian Forest, and got into a battle. I had found a Caterpie. But, y'know what? It was golden, and the shiny animation made it look like it had gotten hit by a shooting star. I caught it immediatly, because I knew it was something special. Later that day, my friend came over and was like, "Ohmygodyoucaughtashinyohmygodyou'resoluckyohmygod." I had no idea what he was talking about, but now I do. I traded it for a shiny Eevee with perfect IVs, though.

mervyn797 November 2nd, 2010 2:52 AM

My first shiny was a Ponyta. I found this shiny Ponyta in the grass while I was playing Pokemon Diamond, I guess. Even though I had played the older games as well, I never found a shiny till then.
It was only after that when I found a shiny Graveler in Victory Road in Pokemon Emerald. It used self-destruct. ;_;

vaporeon7 November 2nd, 2010 3:14 AM

I can't remember the first shiny I caught but the last one was a shiny Unown while I was trying to catch all 28 in my HeartGold.

Kikaito plush November 2nd, 2010 3:46 AM

While EV training my pokemon using bidoofs. A female lv 2 shiny one appeared.

Mistyblu November 2nd, 2010 5:16 AM

My first one was a Shiny Caterpie in Gold (or was it Crystal, I forget). Caught it in the Bug Catching Contest- I thought a Shiny pokemon would win the contest but it had no effect in prizes (the Caterpie alone was prize enough though).

Imagine my surprise when it turned into a pink Butterfree! (All thoughts flooded back to the Goodbye Butterfree episode)

My first one in Emerald was a Wingull in the sea routes (nicknamed Seabreeze and became my contest winner), in Platinum was a Golbat (looks yucky) in Iron Island and in Diamond was (another) Wingull outside Fuego Ironworks. I like the Green Wingulls though, one of the better Shinies

Charizard★ November 2nd, 2010 6:04 AM

A shiny Nidoran male in FireRed, I caught it in the Safari Zone XD

dyenguard November 2nd, 2010 7:14 AM

My first shiny was a charizard I got in the GTS

Now that I think about it, it was probably fake. :(

Asrodrig November 2nd, 2010 7:50 AM

Mine was an Igglybuff I hatched in Crystal. I also stumbled upon a shiny Bagon in Ruby once.

Espeonrules November 2nd, 2010 12:57 PM

I've seen about five shinies in my time of playing Pokemon. First, it was a yellow colored Oddish in Sapphire. Unfortunately, I had no idea what a shiny Pokemon was at that time (I was still fairly new to Pokemon), so I got kinda freaked out and ran away. Second, was an orange Cacnea, again in Sapphire. Then it was a mint-colored Marril in Ruby, followed by gold Geodude in Leafgreen. The last shiny I saw was an orange Poochyena in Emerald. Sadly, in used Roar before I could catch it ):

Strout November 2nd, 2010 3:59 PM

A shiny Weedle in Soul Silver (: haa


da_absol November 2nd, 2010 4:00 PM

A raticate in pokemon silver version whilst training my pokemon

nm legend November 4th, 2010 8:50 AM

my first shiny was a hoothoot in crystal rite around the beggining of the game...it was freakin gold.....awesome...

Blaziquaza November 4th, 2010 12:38 PM

Coincidentally, my first on any game was a Rayquaza in Emerald. I caught it, and I was over the moon. I lost it when I restarted my game not remembering about it, but I have one on HG anyway. :D

Skylands November 4th, 2010 5:15 PM

Since red Gyarados does not count... my first shiny encounter was an Exeggcute in the Safari Zone on FireRed. I threw a rock at it before throwing a Pokeball, so I would have a better chance of catching it, but it fled right afterwards. My second time encountering a shiny was much more successful. I was training on Route 207 in Diamond for my first gym battle, Roark. A wild Geodude appeared, and it didn't run off like Exeggcute did in FireRed, thus I managed to catch it in time.

M o n s t e R November 4th, 2010 5:20 PM

My first shiny was a Diglett with a blue nose in Fire Red. I was searching for a good natured one but instead i found a shiny.

Fouuh, I really can't remember it. xD
But I do remember the first one of my sister though. It was a Pidgeotto, but as it was the first time for her, she thought it was a virus or a bug and she turned off her console. xD
Now she knows that it was an error to do that.

So I'm surfing around, looking for a Mantine.

RANDOM ENCOUNTER

It's (yet another) Tentacool.

I'm about to get ready to run when i hear a twinkle.

And see that the Tentacool is lavender-colored.

Then I throw a Quick Ball and hear a satisfying "click."

And I cheer.

Besides the shiny Gyarados, my first shiny Pokemon was a Pidgey, early on when I started a new game in Silver (it was a good reason to keep that save file until the end, heh). It was one of my best Pokemon in the game if I remember rightly too. Pity one cannot trade from 2nd gen games to 3rd. =(

Of course my RED GYARADOS <3 No RNG, No SR's. Just INTERACT >:]

A Zubat on Sootopolis Cave on my Sapphire. I didn't even cared bout it, I just wanted a Zubat that time and caught it. After a few minutes, I noticed that it has a different color. :D

A Graveler west of that one town in Pearl where you get after that pesky fog route. Whatever its name was, I haven't played Sinnoh games in a while. I think I was grinding some water type (might have been Omanyte, I had an awesome one - by my standards at that time - on that file), was quite bored (since DPPt is, as I've probably said hundreds of times before and everyone knows anyways, waaay too slow) and suddenly the thing spawned. I don't really remember how I reacted at first, but I did throw the Masterball at it, being afraid of Selfdestruct. I thought about leveling the thing up and stuff, but then saw it had Mild nature and thus sucks. So I boxed it, and later, when I finally deleted my file (that file was probably the last one I played until waaay after actually beating it), the nameless orange/golden/whatever Graveler was deleted with it. Too bad.

My first shiny was a sableye that I found on my Sapphire version.I thought “ooooh, its sparkly”so I tried weakening it....it took a critical hit and fainted....XD....The next shiny I found was a lunatone at meteor falls, I caught it without any trouble. :D The most recent one I got was on my Emerald version, a shiny torchic I got as my starter when I played a new game, I was so happy! :D

I have no shinies anymore, but I used to have a shiny Flaaffy (first shiny ever, caught on Gold) and a shiny Noctowl (caught on Gold as well, the same route I think).

They have both vanished though, since my Gold cartridge lost its save. ):

I believe I've also caught a shiny Tentacool once, on Ruby or Sapphire ROM.. and several Gyarados's. =p

I just found the first shiny of my Emerald. HOWEVER IT WAS IN THE BATTLE PYRAMID AND SO I COULDN'T CATCH IT. I was so annoyed it was a shiny Jolteon as well.

I believe it was a shiny Muk in Leaf Green. It was a while ago, so for the life of me I can't remember how I reacted to it. But I did catch it, kept it around for awhile, then traded it to a good friend of mine.

WilowWisp November 6th, 2010 8:55 AM

My first shiny was a Mightyena, caught on Sapphire or Emerald. *_* So pretty.
I think he now resides on my Diamond version.

Azumi November 9th, 2010 7:13 AM

Well, my first shiny came rather late - it was in my English HeartGold. I was getting back to the Power Plant after getting the Machine Part, but then I was riding on my bike and accidentally hit the patch of grass near the water to the Power Plant.

So, I was ready to press run anytime until I noticed that the wild Fearow had that twinkle effect and then it was a golden color. Then my mouth literally dropped.
Then I caught it and named it Topaz. C:
