How many shinies do you have?
 
So like, I've been playing for 1,500 hours (since April) I just discovered that I've made more than 400 gts trades. That kinda shocked me, I had no idea I'd made so many. It doesn't seem like I have enough shinies for someone who's made so many trades. Right now I have 18 shinies, and they're Mesprit, Bronzong, Milotic, Machamp, Golbat, Omastar, Gengar, Arcanine, Alakazam, Dragonite, Ninetales, Shiftry, Whimsicot, Banette, Ambipom and Steelix (all level 100), and a Vileplume and a Ponyta (level 60)

I was wondering, how long have you been playing, how many trades have you made, and how many shinies do you have?

PS the only one I'm the OT of is the ponyta

Kazimoto August 31st, 2011 6:38 PM

One, a shiny Xatu. I've never traded for a shiny, I found mine as a Natu in the Ruins of Alph.

PlatinumDude September 1st, 2011 2:02 AM

These are the shinies I have or have had (I lost HeartGold and Platinum):

Emerald: Koffing

Diamond: Geodude (deleted when I started a new game on it)

Platinum: Roselia, Sneasel, Marill, Blissey

HeartGold: Mewtwo

SoulSilver: Tentacool, Golbat

Black: Gothita

White: Sewaddle

Total shinies: 11

Charicific September 1st, 2011 2:09 AM

haha! NONE :P
I started playing from Gen III Through V.Almost all games and no matter how much I go to grass and EV Train, I can't meet ONE SINGLE SHINY! I am so Out of luck! It teases me though how my friend managed to get 2 consecutive shinies in the same place and he just recklessly let them go :@

cazzler September 1st, 2011 2:41 AM

I've found only a few shinies over the years...

Gold: Doduo
Ruby: Electrike
Diamond: Machop

I have about 4 - 5 shinies in Pokemon Black that I have through trades,
from the top of my head I have about 2 Eevee, Larvesta, Ninetales, I think I had another one...
I had Treeko and more I can't remember that I traded off.

Legobricks September 1st, 2011 7:08 AM

None, not even the red Gyarados in G/S/C. Though many look better than in their normal colouration, they aren't of profound interest to me.

mondays suck September 1st, 2011 7:13 AM

None. Every single one I ever had was eventually deleted. I have no regrets.
I estimate there were maybe 5 of them in total, and 5 more that I didn't catch.

gvgisdi September 1st, 2011 7:44 AM

I've never had any other than Red Gyarados. :( I once saw a shiny Sentret in Crystal, but I didn't know what shinies are then so I got scared and ran away.

Brendino September 1st, 2011 12:05 PM

Other than the Red Gyarados, I've only ever had one: a shiny Shroomish (now a Breloom) found on my Sapphire.

I've had some bad luck with shinies, though, including a Teddiursa I OHKO'd by accident on Gold, and on FireRed, I found a shiny Paras in the Safari Zone when I had one ball left (didn't catch it), and the guy that teaches you how to catch Pokemon in Viridian found a shiny Weedle :(

Sweet Candace September 1st, 2011 12:24 PM

2. A shiny Bronzong (was a Bronzor) found in Pearl in Wayward Cave and a red Gyarados fishing outside the Battle Area in Platinum, but I lost my Platinum.

jvpski3 September 1st, 2011 12:55 PM

ALL 649!!!!!! Action Replay used.

greg0915 September 1st, 2011 2:14 PM

I have too many shinies to count because i have a trade thread XD

But i tend to find a fair few shinies, I found 3 shinies in one play through of Diamond:
Mr. Mime (Mild)
Graveller (Modest)
Sneasel (Modest)

My brother was Soft reseting for a Naive Chimchar on his Pearl when he discovered a shiny Starly at the first battle but you don't get any pokeballs at the start XD

Tomandgreen September 1st, 2011 2:28 PM

None exept the Red Gyrados, which doesn't count. I should have though, since I have played so many games so many times.... But I did get PokeRus on Platinum! :)

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ September 2nd, 2011 4:45 AM

9 that I currently own, two more that I owned at one time and traded to friends. I caught all but one of them on my own.

Meowth
Swinub

Herdier
Buneary
Gastly (traded)

And I used to own:
Muk

CharmanderFan123 September 2nd, 2011 5:45 AM

I've owned about 5 in SS. No trades.

Charmander(now Charizard)
Pidgey(Now a Pidgeot)
Cyndaquil(Now Typlhosion)
Pichu(Now a Pikachu)
Togepi(now Togekiss)

I got the Pichu through breeding BTW

Pokemon Trainer Touko September 2nd, 2011 6:49 AM

I have quite a lot of shinies even though I don't trade/collect them lol. XD;
... But I can't remember how many because I haven't played Pokemon for like... a few months?

Did you get him as a starter? I've never seen someone with a shiny starter.

Saerith September 2nd, 2011 7:42 AM

I've played my current games for over 2,000 hours and have 5 shinies

Milotic
cyndaquil
ralts
eevee
flareon

still trying to catch myself a shiny shuckle though lol. I don't do action replay (googles what that is) I just mess about in the grass.

644Klaww September 2nd, 2011 8:14 AM

I've only ever caught 2 regularly, which are my shiny Teddiursa and shiny Fearow.

I got my Teddiursa on Pokemon Diamond, using the Pokeradar, and my Fearow was a random encounter in Heartgold, by the Safari Zone.

I also have the Red Gyarados, Pikachu-Coloured Pichu, and Shiny Suicune (Zoroark event one) but they don't count. :P

And I haven't spent that much time on the games. I've spent 150-160 hours in HG, and somewhere over 100 hours in Diamond.

I'm at about 90 hours right now in White, too.

Kikaito plush September 2nd, 2011 8:14 AM

only about 6 legit ones as I think the others maybe be hacked

Pearl:
Bidoof
Sneansel
Heart gold
Kyogre
zubat
white:
tranquil
Pachirisu

Raizhu September 2nd, 2011 8:22 AM

Only about 6 or 7. To name a few, Snorlax, Karrablast, Duskull, and several others.

mikey September 2nd, 2011 10:41 AM

Like only 4. 3 of them are from friends that used AR though, but I actually did catch one on my own :3

Frozen Flames September 2nd, 2011 10:47 AM

Shiny Gigalith with very messed up EVs lol.

Yoshikko September 2nd, 2011 3:37 PM

The first shiny I ever encountered myself was a month or two ago, in Sapphire when I replayed it, a shiny Whismur. Not really anything special, but it was my first shiny ever so I was extremely excited. A month later, I encountered my second shiny in White during EV training, which was a shiny Litwick! I happen to LOVE Chandelure, and shiny Chandelure as well, so I was thrilled. Other than those, I have a shiny Bagon, Charmander, Feebas, Mareep, and some others, but I got those from my cousin. And a shiny Mew, but I doubt it's legit lol.

Perriechu September 2nd, 2011 4:46 PM

Urgh ): I RNG shiny Pokemon, so it's a lot. Outside of RNG'ing I probably have about 5 random ones. Ekans from my first Firered, Jigglypuff from the same game. Foongus from my White along with Snover from my Diamond and a Magikarp on Soulsilver. Not the best bunch, but what the hell.

Maple Leaf September 3rd, 2011 7:35 AM

I don't have any shiny Pokemon. Poor me. D:

I might have encountered one a long time ago, but I can't remember.

Westie7 September 3rd, 2011 9:29 AM

Currently four. An Eevee in Diamond, and a Victreebel, Nidoran F, and Charizard in HeartGold.

Kaean September 3rd, 2011 10:27 PM

I have two shinies. A Bellossom I evolved when I shifted it up from leaf green to my soul silver, and a legit Articuno from the same leaf green. I was ecstatic when I found that bird.

Pokemon Game Fan September 3rd, 2011 11:48 PM

I have a lot. But they are all traded.
I have not encountered one shiny. Maybe as a kid with my old Silver when I had no idea. But not in any recent games.

Poueff September 4th, 2011 4:02 AM

Until two months ago I had 0 shinies. In eight years of playing, I found none. But two months ago I caught my first shiny (I literally rolled on the floor and jumped up and down xD) a poochyena (exacly the pokemon I was looking for for my team). Currently it is a lvl. 40 Gold Mightyena (looking awesome) and is right now taking down team aqua on their hideout.

The second one was a shiny Growlithe I just caught last night on a Nuzlocke run (unfortunally, it wasn't the first I saw in the route, so... box with it) of Pokémon Fire Red Omega.

Oddly, I've played all these years on my GBA and found none, playing through 6 pokémon games, but now that I'm using a GBA emulator on my PSP, I already found two :D (both golden and really awesome looking)

OriginGiratina September 4th, 2011 9:01 AM

My 1st shiny in black was a Sandile, very early, which I traded with a very strong Zekrom. I have breed many times my favourite pokemon to be shinies and got 2 in 2 weeks of getting eggs and hatching. I got shiny Eevee (wow) and evolved to shiny Umbreon and shiny Heatmor

[Ghost] September 4th, 2011 9:10 AM

My first shiny Pokemon was my Chikorita in Crystal. I was all dumbstruck because I though something was wrong with my game. I have a handful of shinies now...

.,;:'`Ghost`';:,.

Raven-NAR-32450 September 4th, 2011 9:18 AM

I used to have three, Stoutland, Klink, and Sandile, I traded the Stoutland and Klink to my brother, and for my birthday, (I call it a late present) he gave me the three shiny dogs Entei, Suicune and Raikou. So I have 4 shinies total........well 5 if you include the shiny gyarados from Soulsilver but who DOESN'T have that one?

I also used to have a shiny Wingull and Electrike on Sapphire version, now they're on my gamecube, waiting for me to send them on the long ride to White.

Freddy Fazbear September 4th, 2011 9:26 AM

At least 40-50. I bought a used Sapphire from gamestop, and it had about 200 shinies on it. I imported the best ones onto my heartgold, and later onto white. I also have the red gyarados and a shiny ninjask (was nincada) that I got on my own.

Sydian September 6th, 2011 11:06 AM

Don't wanna count, yawn. I'll just list I guess.

Spoiler:
Crobat, Mightyena, Igglybuff, Spinda, Pichu, Gyarados, Suicune, Entei, Raikou, Fearow, Arbok, Grovyle, Charmeleon, Luxray, Umbreon, Eevee, Petilil (x2), Lilligant, Lampent, Gallade, Magnezone, Magmortar, Reuniclus, Virizion, Scolipede, Metagross, Golurk


I think that's all. n_n

Zweilous September 9th, 2011 9:15 AM

I had two shinies on my White, one Unfezant and one Bibarel. =]

Ghost Lunis September 10th, 2011 6:28 PM

I've never actually came across any shiny pokes on my own but I have well over 500 legit shinies( I check them) that I've gotten through trades. Im on my way to getting every one available .

Weavile05 September 10th, 2011 7:17 PM

1... a tentacool. I was so happy when I was playing HG and I saw the purple jellyfish sparkle.... I would've seemed a lot happier if I wasn't in the car with the rest of my Family.

Kelp September 10th, 2011 7:26 PM

I have a lot, my favorite being my Slaking. <3

But I RNG a lot, so the rarity is a bit lower.

Influential_Mew September 16th, 2011 9:12 PM

Three. Doduo, Starly, and that Red Gyrados from Heartgold.

Mentalii September 17th, 2011 5:18 AM

Only the red Gyarados ...
But, I keen on precise, I almost caught a shiny Poochyena in my Emeraude version (I was so happy to find one whereas I wasn't looking for any shinies), and this damned little wolf used Roar...
How frustrating, I would have strangled him.
