I've played probably more than 500 hours of Pokemon, and haven't seen a single shiny besides Red Gyarados :'(

WriteThemWrong December 31st, 2010 7:03 PM

my first shiny was in silver or crystal, i can't remember which one because i had both, and it was a krabby i ran into on the seafoam islands

TJgamer December 31st, 2010 7:49 PM

My first shiny was found on the snowy path in the Sinnoh region.
I was using my PokéRadar to find a Snorunt. While searching, I saw something glimmering in a grass patch.
When I looked, I was so surprised!
It was a shiny Sneavel.
It was tough. Took me several attempts to capture it.
I nicknamed it Diesel (strange, I know).
It is to this day my first, and only, shiny Pokémon so far.

Pokémon Grey December 31st, 2010 9:58 PM

I never really caught a shiny (other than Red Gyarados)
however i did encounter a shiny once in Pokémon Gold.
It was a FREAKING HO-OH
however sadly I blew it (didn't killed it, I ran out of Ultra balls)

Le Creep! December 31st, 2010 10:07 PM

I got a Shiny Wingull.

I was like ''wattahfook'', but then I Googled ''negative colored pokemon'' and it told me it was shiny.

Anyway I rare candied his ass then he turned into a Pelliper.

BBA_Beyblader_321 December 31st, 2010 10:21 PM

My first shiny was in pokemon Saphire. It was a wurmple! I didn't that shiny pokemon existed then, so when I looked at it, I got kinda sad... I thought it was a glitch! XD

Fantastique December 31st, 2010 11:33 PM

Add me to the list of people who didn't know what a shiny was until after they saw one.

When I was a few years younger, I got bored and played my Emerald to train random newly hatched Pokemon. I found a shiny Poochyena and I was seriously confused. Srs. I was like "...yellow? uhm... wat." But I had recently met my cousins from my mom's side of the family, who loved Pokemon as much as I did, and so I thought I could show off this weird thing to them if I caught it.

A FEW YEARS LATER I FOUND OUT WHAT A SHINY WAS AND I LOVED MY KID SELF FOR CATCHING IT AND NOT RUNNING AWAY <3

superanthony182 January 1st, 2011 10:43 AM

shiny poekmon are awesome although very rare to find

Lethal-Llama January 7th, 2011 11:57 AM

My first ever shiny was a Sneasel. I didn't know about shinies so I thought it was gay XD.
My second shiny was a golden Magikarp. When I found out about the red Gyarados in HG/SS, I was so peeved.

Cometmonster January 7th, 2011 6:53 PM

My first shiny was a sharpedo in emerald. At first I had no idea what it was. Then I asked my cousin which convinced me to keep it to this day.

BonzaiMudkip January 7th, 2011 10:19 PM

the first shiny i encountered was a caterpie in the bug catching contest in gold. i was ready to catch it until my pokemon fainted from poison (it got poisoned when i was fighting a beedrill i think).
First one i actually got to capture aside from red gyarados was a pinsir. I was lucky enough to actually catch it.
To this day, i'm lucky enough to encounter a shiny and capture it at least once(not counting red gyarados of course).

Kikindo January 13th, 2011 2:40 PM

I don't have one yet.

I am in the process of trying to get a shiny Charmander using the Masuda Method, but I am really starting to get annoyed with it. The reason for that is that I just hit 1,650 charmanders hatched with no shiny. I know that it could be the next one or I could never get it in another 10,000, but seeing all the people who get them after so few eggs makes me sad.

cazzler January 17th, 2011 10:17 PM

My first shiny was in pokemon emerald, I was running around that path under the cycling road and out comes a blue electrike, I never knew what a shiny was at the time but I still caught and my friend couldn't believe I found one lol.

Gl!tch January 17th, 2011 11:29 PM

I've played for years and never found one outside of gyarados, and hacking.

My girlfriend seems to have a nack for it though :'<

Kokowood January 18th, 2011 6:18 AM

My first Shiny was in Sapphire. I ended up finding a Needle in a Hay-factory that day. I was running around looking for a Minun and, after killing one or two by accident, lo and behold a Minun popped up but with slightly different shading. If it wasn't for the stars I don't think I would have noticed it was a shiny for a while.

Sesen January 18th, 2011 12:26 PM

I've only ever caught three shiny Pokemon since I started playing. The first one was...well, it was Crystal, Silver, or Gold. It was a shiny Drowzee. The second was a Shiny Shinx...which I loved with my life. And the third was on my last HeartGold game. It was a shiny Geodude. Which I did not love. ):

Captain Fabio January 18th, 2011 12:39 PM

My first ever Shiny, excluding Gold, was on Emerald and it was Aron.
I didn't even know it was shiny at the time since I had my sound turned off. I just looked back at the screen and stared at it, seeing it had red eyes. I was like 'hu?'. So I thought I would catch it and see why it had red eyes.

Catch it and found out it was a shiny. From that day on, I said to myself I would be a shiny hunter! XD


Shining Raichu February 8th, 2011 3:01 PM

My first (and only) Shiny was a Whismur in Sapphire, but I was young and had no idea what Shinys were, so I released it because I didn't like the colours. I'm so pissed.

GlitchCity February 8th, 2011 5:43 PM

My first shiny was an Electrike on Sapphire, I named it Bluerike because of its color. xD I didnt even know it was called a Shiny. I thought it was a legendary at first, and then my friend had to burst my bubble :[ but still, I love my Bluerike.

blue February 9th, 2011 7:54 AM

Shinx, Level 4, Pokémon Diamond.

MysticFlygon February 9th, 2011 10:27 AM

My first shiny was Lotad in Sapphire on the Route before you get to Meteor Falls(from fallarbor).

skyluigi2 February 11th, 2011 10:26 AM

My first ever shiny (and my only one -.-) was a shiny Golbat from the Whirl Islands on Crystal. I still have it, but I wish there was a way to get it on HG...

Pink Typholsion February 11th, 2011 10:51 AM

I got my first shiny on Diamond, it was a Tentacruel, I was on my way to the pokemon league.
Then After I beat Diamond I ran into a shiny shinx in Pearl.
Then after that i caught a shiny Staravia in Platinum.

After I beat all those I played Crystal, and my Cyndaquil was shiny :D

Gouldie February 11th, 2011 3:15 PM

shiny
 
The first shiny i ever caught was a ZUBAT (>.>) in Ruby, i think.. I probably still have it somewhere.

Zvezda February 12th, 2011 5:44 AM

A Bellsprout in Gold or Crystal. DNW.

days February 12th, 2011 6:52 AM

Over a decade and I've had not even one!

Incredible

TheBigMan0706 February 14th, 2011 6:37 PM

My first Shiny pokemon was a Ghastly in Pokemon Diamond. Called him King Boo. Too bad i traded him...

Rai February 14th, 2011 9:38 PM

My first shiny was a Venemoth in Leaf Green. I was walking in a forest and out of nowhere it appeared and I caught it <3 I don't think I have it anymore though :c

My first shiny would have been a shiny Swablu in Ruby, but OF COURSE the attack I used got a critical hit and killed the Swablu so I coudn't catch it ><

BonzaiMudkip February 14th, 2011 9:56 PM

my first shiny i obtained that wasnt the red gyarados was a gray pinsir i caught in the bug catching contest in gold version.

Weavile05 February 15th, 2011 5:22 PM

I finally found my first shiny. Unfortunately, two things went terribly, terribly wrong.
1. I was using a Silver ROM doing a UMC Normal when I found my Shiny Stantler
2. I couldn't catch it... ran out of pokeballs...

tratjack February 15th, 2011 7:44 PM

Also mine was a Wingull in my Ruby

Lakelady February 16th, 2011 9:24 AM

My brother and I got a shiny Buizel in the grass without looking for one. We were very excited.

Encountering a Shiny Golbat was an awesome moment, and I'm quite disappointed that I lost the save file containing it. Maybe PokeSav might help one day with restoration...

Anyway, the moment you lay eyes on your first shiny Pokemon's funky colors and see the glittering stars of amazement streak across the screen is one that I feel Trainers should cherish for the rest of their Pokemon-Training careers. :D

If you encounter a Safari Zone shiny or a Shiny with Self-Destruct/Explosion/Memento/Lunar Dance in its moveset...sucks for you; my apologies. -.-

VarimathraS February 18th, 2011 11:29 AM

My first and only shiny Pokemon was a shiny Magmar. But I have realized much later that it was a shiny Pokemon.

Joey's Rattata February 18th, 2011 11:32 AM

My first Shiny... Probably that Shiny Kyogre named "Aquamarine" I traded away to a friend years ago.

I still have it on Pokemon Battle Revolution, since I never synced the game up again to that save! xD

Latiosx3 February 22nd, 2011 2:32 PM

Pidgey
 
My first shiny was a Pidgey in Pokemon Fire Red I was trying to catch a Suicune when a shiny Pidgey popped up I thought it was a glitch so I didn't catch it back then I didn't know there was such things as shiny in pokemon. :'(

Saryka February 22nd, 2011 3:08 PM

I caught a shiny Zigzagoon in Pokémon Ruby a few years ago! I was so proud of it, haha. Unfortunately, though, I think it accidentally got deleted when I restarted my Ruby game and I was too stupid to not trade it elsewhere before doing so. :|

pedrofanti February 22nd, 2011 8:46 PM

an oddish <3 i just caught a gothilette on pokemon black, that's my first in it tho

GirlieNinjaRose February 23rd, 2011 2:43 AM

My first shiny was a shiny Bellsprout, lucky!

Necrolium February 23rd, 2011 2:26 PM

My first shiny was a Starly when I first started my diamond back in 2007.

HinaBaby February 27th, 2011 7:20 PM

I remember the time when I caught one it was a shiny Metapod, I was like, OMG! This must be pretty rare, I must catch it, go go go~ XD

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.

Precisely, yes this is what I meant. I just felt like what I wanted to type procrastinated too much so I shorten it. :3

Tropical Sunlight June 20th, 2011 10:08 AM

deoxys121 June 20th, 2011 10:17 AM

The first shiny I found was in my original Pokemon Gold. I was very young at the time, and didn't even know how lucky I was to have found it, nor did I know anything about the concept of Shiny Pokemon. But, here's how it went: I was fishing at the Fast Ship port in Vermilion City with my Super Rod. And bada-bing, bada-boom, here's a Shiny Chinchou! I just caught it because I didn't have it in my Pokedex, and when it evolved into Lanturn, it proved to be a rather useful Pokemon. I kept it in my party and trained it well beyond level 70 until I somehow lost my save file.

Sydian June 20th, 2011 10:51 AM

Hey Kepov, please don't revive threads that are over a month old! Thanks.
