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

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

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.

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.

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
