My first shiny was in Crystal. A shiny Noctowl. Shame I lost that game :embarrass
|
The first shiny that I ever got was a Shroomish (now a Breloom). I don't recall it ever being shiny, because at the time I had just got Sapphire, and it was one of the first Pokemon I caught on that game. It wasn't until nearly 3 years later when I was about to start a new game and was transferring my Pokemon over that I noticed that it was shiny. I feel bad for not noticing, because I've seen 3 others since then, and wasn't able to catch them for one reason or another (one of them being the Weedle the old man catches in Fire Red).
|
Mine was in Leaf Green.
In the wild jungles of Africa The Safari Zone, I was hunting for a Wild Kangaskhan. This was a couple years ago, about 10 years after I started to play the games. Running through zone 2, I notice a Nidoran Male. At first, I though the screen was blurred or something, but the sparkles confirmed that it was, indeed, a shiny. Unfortunately, being in the Safari Zone, I knew that the little guy could turn at any moment, making me lose the opputunity I'd been waiting for. I'd rate the intensity of trying to catch a legendary with my underleved pokemon. After what seemed like ages, I managed to catch the thing. Boxed, trained, and shipped over to HG, my Shiny Nidorino is one of my more prized pokes. |
Heh, first shiny, eh? Back in the days when I got into shiny hunting, I was trying and failing at chaining. Then I found a good tutorial on YT, chained a Shinx, and got one around 45. I only got one shiny in that chain, but I was still happy.
I've found quite a few since then, and caught them all. |
My first shiny was apparently a Jynx in Crystal. I caught it YEARS ago and then maybe a month or two ago I felt like bringing out the old Pokemon games and I was going through my Pokemon to see what all I had, since I forgot and I was looking at the stats of my Jynx and there was a star and I was like O.O and I brought it into battle and it went all shiny and I was so excited I squealed.
I also have a shiny Mudkip in HG but that was an event. |
I'm not lucky enough yet for a random encounter... so had to chain my first shiny in plat which is a Male Ralts, and followed up a little later with a female ralts. Trying for a Marill for my GF now...
|
Only one I've gotten is from that um... odd egg thing back in Crystal. D;
|
my first shiny was in my very first pokemon game, Leafgreen. I had no other games, but I heard about shinies from the internet. I had a level 30 Primape and caught a shiny level 17 Mankey and boxed it, didnt want to train it all over. I tried to migrate all my Pokemon (including six level 100s) to Platinum a few years later and it didnt bring them, with the game I had, you couldn't migrate bcause it would destroy my Leafgreen game. It sucked because I lost my level 100s and my shiny Mankeyy.
|
My first ever shiny was in Pokemon Sapphire where I caught a Shiny Kecleon.
Since then I've caught a Shiny Carvanha in Pokemon Ruby and a Shiny Kricketune in Soul Silver. I have a vague memory of encountering a shiny Rhyhorn/Rhydon in Pokemon Gold but I don't think I caught it since I didn't know what a shiny was at the time...I remember it had stars coming out of it... I have other shinies too, but they weren't ones I caught myself. |
I have still never encountered a shiny despite how many hours of my life I have devoted to playing all of the games. xD; Maybe one day. I would really love for the Eevee I receive to be a shiny. *U*
|
The first non-default shiny I ever encountered was Golbat on the original Silver Version, in the Ice Path. I didn't even see it sparkle nor did I notice it was a different color, so I clicked run. However, here's the funny thing: while I'm nearly certain the warning isn't even programmed into the game, I thought for sure I saw the message "You don't want to do that." Therefore, I threw a Poke Ball and caught it. I later looked at it in my PC and noticed it had 3 stars on the status screen, just like the shiny Gyarados. I later found out that it was one of these "shiny" Pokemon.
I ended up evolving it into Crobat, then I was all "ugh, pink..." lol |
:0 Oh woah, I didn't know the game warned you not to run. That's creepy and awesome at the same time! xD haha
|
-sniff-
Never. Ever. And I've been playing since Gen I. Probably because of my horrible luck, and/or the fact that I don't play nearly enough. |
I've only encountered one Shiny before, in all my years of playing Pokemon... it was a Krabby, IIRC, that I found fishing in Olivine. And I was out of Poke Balls when I encountered it.
|
My first (and only) shiny was a Weedle in Ilex Forest. |

|
Excluding the Gyarados in G/S/C, my first shiny was a Whismur in Ruby. I rather foolishly evolved it into an Exploud, though...it was much cuter as a Whismur, with those poisonous green ears and brighter pink. It looked like one of those cherry drop sweets. xD
I should still have it somewhere...probably on my Diamond file. I don't trade my own shinies, since I've come across so few of them. |
The only shiny I have ever had is the Red Gyarados
|
my first shiny was a Weedle in Fire red
i remember i was afraid to evolve it because i though he would turn back to normal :) |
My first shiny was a random encounter shiny Drowzee that I caught in HeartGold. I remember exactly how it happened too and what makes it even more special, I caught her the day after I got my wisdom teeth out and I was home recuperating on my sofa all day. It totally made up for not being able to eat solid food for a couple days. XD
|
My first shiny was my shiny Kyogre :) I soft-resetted for it. Then, in Pearl, I found my first and only random-encounter shiny, a Shellos. Not a very cool shiny, but still a shiny nonetheless. I've gone on to obtain a shiny Ponyta, Ralts, and a Duskull, which are 3 of my favorite shinies :)
|
Ahhh, I remember the day firmly. Me, a young kid scanning the GTS. Their he was. A level 21 Shiny Mightyena for a Carnivine, level 50. I traded and I still have Mightyena today.
|
My first shiny was a blue gulpin in Pokemon Sapphire. :3
|
My first shiny was a Pichu in the Trophy Garden in Pokemon Platinum. Then it was a Shiny Umbreon on HG/SS. I was so excited to get my first Shiny.
|
HAHA.
I'm so happy I found this thread. I was playing Emerald, and I found a Shiny Abra in Granite Cave! Granite Cave, around the second gym, and I already find a shiny! And I did catch it. In contrast, I have been playing Platinum for 76 hours straight and have not found a single shiny, except for a shiny Salamence I got from an online trade. |
My first shiny i got on my own was from steven in SS when i got my mudkip:) i went to go look at it in the summary saw it was shiny and started freaking out XD
|
The first shiny I ever encountered was a shiny Magikarp. XD; I guess it was ~magical~ if you consider myself saying deeerp throughout the battle. n__n
|
Ahh the nostalgic feelings of your first caught shiny. Mine was the awesome shinyness of Metagross.
|
I think mine was a Pinsir, back in Silver at the Bug-Catching competition. Needless to say, I couldn't catch it.
Actually I don't remember if I caught it or not. And if I did, I still would've lost the competition to a Metapod or something. xD |
My first shiny was a shiny Bidoof in Platinum (which I am not proud of... T_T). But before that, I had encountered a shiny Shinx, but being the negative person that I am, I predicted that whatever move I made on it would be a critical hit. And guess what? I used Tackle, it was a critical hit, and the Shinx fainted. u_u
Then after all that, I encountered a shiny Shellos. I was too scared to make any mistakes with using my more "powerful" moves, so I just used Tackle a bit, until its HP was yellow. I didn't think that was enough, so I used Tackle one more time... critical hit. (I'm sure you know what happened after that >.>) So all I have so far is a shiny Bidoof and that shiny Gyarados from HeartGold. *sigh* I REALLY wanted that shiny Shinx. =/ |
a shiny pidgey, I didn't catch it though. My friend took two steps into the grass and the very first pokemon he encountered in the entire game was that pidgey and I paid him five bucks for him to trade it to me. ^-^
|
A shiny Lotad very early in my Emerald game. It later would become a strong member of my team as Ludicolo.
|
I came across my first shiny today, and my luck played an awesome part in this.
It was a shiny geodude; I tried to catch it, but it used explosion. XD I was quite upset. |
Just caught my first shiny a few days ago. It was a shiny Seaking I found in my FireRed ROM while looking for Dratinis and Chanseys in the Safari Zone. I was really excited about it. :D
|
I hope I get a shiny soon... that would be epic. I do have a funny story to tell you from my friend. He started a file on his HG Rom shortly after the English patch came out. The first pokemon he found was a shiny Sentret. Unfortunately, you don't have any pokeballs at that point in the game... sucks for him.
|
my first shiny was a goldbat in emerald while i was going to catch rayquaza
:D |

My first Shiny? Well, that depends. The first shiny I caught was red Gyarados in my friends Pokemon Crystal. I found a few shiny Abra in my Pokemon Sapphire, however I never noticed the difference, so I never caught them, nor tried. Then, I was traded the above posters Claydol and Linoone to my Firered - both were shiny. However, the first shiny I actually caught myself, for myself was a shiny Minun in Pokemon Emerald. And I probably would never even have caught it if it hadn't paralyzed my Synchronize Abra. Then I got shiny Anorith in Pokemon Sapphire from a fossil, shiny Ponyta in Pokemon DIamond, and I found a shiny Kakuna in Pokemon SoulSilver while doing the notched ear Pichu event, however, stupidly before, I tried to catch Lugia using other Pokeballs, and eventually ended up running out and using my Master Ball. So yeah, I never had the balls to catch Kakuna :( |
A Golden Hoothoot in Gold version, I ended up trading it to a friend for a Celebi.
|
My first shiny was a Nidoran♀ back in Gold Version. Unfortunately, I didn't know how rare shinies were, and I also abused Gameshark quite a bit back then, so I reset the file without trading it to another cartridge soon after thinking it was nothing special. :[
|
My first ever Shiny Pokemon I caught legit in the wild... that Lv. 9 Buziel when I was trying to find an Elekid at Valley Windworks one day. This time, I caught it and it didn't kill itself before I caught it. That's what happened to a Shuppet I tried to catch in Pokemon Sapphire. >< It used Curse and killed itself after I whittled its HP down.
|
Shiny Ledyba, Pokemon Emerald, Safari Zone. Nuff said.
|
My first shiny was a pidgey way back in my first playthrough of Silver I couldn't catch it though due to I had no Pokedex yet so I just fainted it :( but,10 years later I finally got a second chance this time with a Barboach and soon after that a Cacturne I caught both and I have also become a very lucky Masuda Method hatcher.
|
My first shiny was in gold, i remember that much. It was either a drowzee or a butterfree. I dont remember which came first, but it was one of those. I think that file was the one my game died on, so i dont have either of them any more.
|
My first shiny was a unknown (h).
Still the only one to this day. D: |
My first shiny was Gastly i was really tired of playing i go play somewhere in firered and i see a gastly with blue smoke i was like "Is thi....a...SHINY!"
I got really happy and trained him in elite four. |
It was, if I can remember properly, a shiny tangela.
|
If I remember correctly, it was a Noctowl on G/S. It could've been a Flaaffy too, though. I found both on the route below Lake of Rage. :o
Unfortunately my cartridge has lost its save so they are gone. :c |
my First Shiny pokemon is a Ralt, i was so excited, and then i evolve it to 3rd evolution.Lvl 61 right now.
|
I think the first shiny that wasn't a Red Gyarados of the Lake of Rage is a shiny Hoothoot. Good thing I already bought some Poké Balls because it's really early into the game.
|
If I recall correctly, it was a shiny Zubat in Pokémon Shiny Gold by Zel in the Dark cave.
Ironically the second one was a shiny Golbat in Pokémon Sapphire in the Victory road. |
My first, non-hacked shiny was a shiny Rattata. My second would have been a Graveler, if the damned thing didn't explode before I could catch it. :| |
I really could careless about shiny Pokemon (especially in Generation III and on wards) because for the most part, the shiny Pokemon are useless in competitve battle, but my first non-hacked shiny Pokemon was a Gastly when I accidently went the wrong way in Pokemon Silver
:t354:TG |
If I remember correctly, my first shiny was a Pidgeotto in LeafGreen, when I was searching for Pokemon in Berry Forest. It was later migrated to my brother's Platinum version. Aaaaaahhhhh... bragging rights....
|
On my JAP Platinum, I just got the tracking app and I was looking for the three Legendaries, Zapdos, Moltres, and Articuno. All 3 of them were shiny. ZOMG!
|
First one i ever saw was Red Gyarados, which as you know, is always 100% shiny!
|
Other than the Red Gyarados, my first shiny was a Shiny Donphan on my Silver. Sadly, I lost that Silver, and the Shiny Donphan with it.
|
My first shiny is a bit different to just about everyone else's. During my first ever run through of Silver, I traded a Bellsprout for an shiny Onix with that guy in Violet City. Since I had never encountered anything like this before, I had no idea what was wrong with the Onix so I thought that it had been corrupted. As a result, I put it in my PC and never let it see the light of day again.
Now that I know what shinies are, I would have cared for that Onix if I could do it all over again D: |
Red Gyrados :D
Which does not count. I found a Shiny Psyduck above Goldenrod a long time ago. At first I thought it was like, a glitch in the game or something. But now I have a shiny Golduck :D (Which isn't that useful in comparison to most other water Pokemon) |
My first (and only) was a shiny Caterpie; Ever since then, he's been my favorite shiny.
|
Shiny Donphan in Silver, caught him at the Victory Road. Didn't know what shinies were at that time though
|
My first shiny was a Palkia in pokemon platinum.
|
Hmmm, my first shiny I ever saw was a Zubat in Emerald Version. One I actually own is a Slowpoke, that I got when breeding.
|
Apart from the shiny Gyarados and two others that I ran away from in Emerald (I thought my game was glitched, just like several people here :L), my first shiny would be a shiny Pidgey that I found while looking for a Ditto in LeafGreen.
The first shiny I've encountered in Gen IV would be a shiny Budew I found in Eterna forest. |
Quote:
|
I caught a shiny Marill on that route to the east of Fortree city in Emerald, about 2 months later i caught a shiny Magnemite in Sapphire.
|
I bought gold version for the first time. A year later since the game has been out I spotted a shiny Hoothoot! Caught it and trained on my team and its stuck on my pokemon stadium 2 game... or I think it got erased... xD Oh well, but that was my first impression on a shiny! :)
|
Not my first shiny but I just battled a shiny Metagross at the Battle Tower in my Ruby. Too bad it couldn't be caught.
|
My first shiny was a level 4 Zubat found in the Dark Cave outside of Violet City.
I miss him...v-v |
I've only had one shiny.
A shiny Tropius I found my first time playing Emerald, way back in '05. I still have him. xD |
Shiny buizel in Resign of legends.
|
Geodude, on Pokemon Pearl. Damn, I was playing it outside and I put in a nother game chip and put pearl on my lap. stood up to grab somethin' and pearl fell onto the ground, where my dog chewed it up. Gosh, that was so hard to get over.... Just finished getting Palkia! :o
|
My first shiny was a Pidgey! I think I was searching for Entei/Raikou at that time. Also, I think I caught Pidgey near where I caught my non-shiny Entei. And my second one was so obvious. It's red, it's a Water/Flying Type, and it's always shiny. It was a... Gyarados!
Well, I might've caught Gyarados before Pidgey, but I can't remember. |
MY first shiny was a Beedrill from Shiny Gold hack, I didn't even knew what a shiny was (should've remembered that red Gyarados from gold) so I didn't quite understand why it was blue. I found it in the bug contest, but then I lost the file, so I replayed it and spent hours in the same spot looking for that blu beedrill :(. I didn't find it, but I found others, like Pidgey, Zubat, Shelder, Chinchou, Shupet, Swinub, Mewtwo (it only took me 15 minutes). Then I found a trick with a patch of a hack here, in which you got a shiny Murkrow. I don't remember how but I could make every pokemon to be shiny in ruby, that's how I got my Beedril back.
|
My first shiny was a Shiny Skitty
Then i chained it and caught 7 of them. ^-^ |
..As far as I can remember, I think it was a shiny Metapod? o3o; Or a Magikarp...
|
the 1st I was able to catch was a shiny caterpie
(and I say "ABLE to catch" is because just before that I saw a shiny ratata[no joke])on the first game i ever had on crystal, and I still have that butterfree when i finally beat red i'd seen, I believe, 5-7 shinies(excluding gyarados) |
mine was shiny tentacool in pokemon crystal gbc

My 1st shiny was a ratata in the safri zone but i lost it because my battery on my ds died
|
The red gyrados in Crystal was my first, and only, shiny ;_;
|
Today I got my first shiny in Heart Gold, a Nincada... I wasn't really happy with it but now I two shinies, Ninjask and Shedinja.
|
my first shiny was a whismur that i rained into shiny exploud
my second one was weepinbel in pearl my third was shiny dialga which i sred my fourth was shiny eevee which i sred in hgss my fifth shiny was shiny charmander which i traded for. |
I've played since Red and Blue and the first shiny I've seen and caught was an Unown in Diamond. Yep. Ain't that lame? The only good part was that it happened to be the F Unown and my name's Fiona.
But yeah. Unown. =[ My next shiny after that was a Shuppet I came across while playing an Emerald rom. Let me tell you, I was so excited to drop a member of my team and start training that Shuppet. XD |
My first and only shiny is a sentret I caught in HeartGold, which I creatively named Shiny. :3
|
T'was a Natu. It was the only shiny I've ever seen. :)
|
Actually... this is going to sound weird, but my first shiny was a Mew. :D; |
My first shiny was a Mr.mime... in the freaking safari zone in HG.
Ohgod, I remember freaking out, and trying to catch it... it escaped though :'( I never encountered a shiny before or after that, well yeah, maybe back in the days in GSC but I can't really remember xd |
My first was a Shiny Dusclops in Ruby. It's now a Shiny Dusknoir in Diamond ^^
EDIT: Yay 350th Post ^^ |
My very first shiny was a shinx! I chained it. :)
|
Mine was a shiny zubat in Firered when i was 5 and I released it cause I thought the games was glitched. I was so stupid.
|
Spin
My very first was a shiny Weedle who I grew him to be a Blue-eyed Beedrill! My sister erased the game. I loved that thing with passion, and my hopes of playing Firered had gone down, since Beedrill was in Firered.
My second one was a green Spinda who I love so much...but was too lazy to train to lv.70 like my other pokemon were. |
my first shiny i belive was venonat or caterpie cnt remember witch was first
|
i ve been lucky to this shiny thing....my first was a shiny ponyta on leafgreen and then a shiny vulpix, a shiny eevee in diamond...that sall
|
My first shiny was a Tentacool on Sapphire>> I know, it's not very original.
Back then I thought that my game had a glitch until a friend told me that it was a shiny and very rare xD |
My first shiny was obviously red Gyarados in Gold. Then a Graveler in Emerald, then another graveler in Pearl, then a Dusclops in Platinum
|
My first shiny EVER....was a geodude on platinum.Near the day care center.
|
My first shiny was a Voltorb in Pokemon Gold 10 years ago.
I didn't know what it was, I was like 6. I ended training it to level 100... a few years later of playing the same file.. the game batteries went dry. Now, I'm getting shinies like crazy when using the Masuda/Pokeradar method |
Shiny Modest girl Psyduck caught from Rt. 35 Johto while i was EV Training in Special Attack
|
My first shiny was a mudkip that i had got in a trade for free.
|
My first shiny was an oddish in Gold. I thought it was an after effect from my brother using a gameshark. I caught it with one of many masterballs.
My second shiny that I actually knew what it was, was a eggsacute in Firered in the SAFARI ZONE!!! I caught it somehow |
From Odd Egg in Silver: Igglybuff.
Random encounter: Drowzee. Truth be told, I was young, so I thought my Igglybuff was sick or something when it hatched :P I also got a red Magikarp in Emerald, and... Also on Sapphire, I ran into a shiny Poochyena..... ...The one CHASING Prof. Birch. You know, the one you CAN'T catch? And also a shiny Ralts on Sapphire. (Level 12 Torchic critical hit, killed it even after being growled at 6 times...) But nothing since Emerald came out, nothing that I caught myself anyway. |
