LyokoGirl5000 June 2nd, 2012 3:03 PM

I found a Shiny Venomoth in the Safari Zone in Fire Red, a Shiny Paras in Leaf Green and a Shiny Tentacool in Gold. I have cloned the Tentacool and I'm planning on sending the clone to a different game in case my battery dies. The clone doesn't count as a second Shiny.

I also have a Shiny Starly from Platinum and Shiny Bidoof from my Japanese Diamond. Neither were encountered by chaining or breeding.

In Black, the first Pokemon I caught was a Shiny Patrat. I'm not including the gift Pansear as my first caught Pokemon.

Tru Eagle June 2nd, 2012 3:14 PM

Shiny Pidgey for the win. That's all I ever got or wanted.

Little Oshawott June 3rd, 2012 2:13 AM

Sadly I havnt had the luck to capture or catch a shiney yet.. I hope to one day though. Well I think everyone does

Ninjagon June 15th, 2012 7:14 PM

In May, Last Month, i was looking for some shroomish in Emerald and i randomly found a shiny one! I called it Kickass. With the red head gear and yellow berries instead of red as a Breloom, it is something i will cherish.

In Platinum, i managed to chain a shiny beldum, which i called MetaBoss. I think it has 30 IV's in Atk and Def. I also chained a shiny electrike, which i called Ravager, which is actually available for download on pokecheck. Just type in my username. Although it will be a clone, it has a Quiet nature, which is somewhat good for it.

In Pearl i chained a shiny starly.

EDIT: I found a shiny Ho-oh Today 14/07/12

Zeruis June 15th, 2012 9:19 PM

Got a shiny bibarel in Pearl. In Soulsilver, I had a shiny zubat which was eventually trained all the way up to a crobat.

Zayphora June 16th, 2012 7:18 AM

I only ever got one shiny, it was on accident...I was bored and Surfing around a random water route on Platinum, and a Wingull showed up, and I'm like, Why is it green? so I caught it and named it Green. DErp.

Otherworld9) June 16th, 2012 10:18 AM

A shiny Weedle on FireRed[made a beast-looking Beedrill] and a shiny Spinda on Emerald.

T!M June 17th, 2012 12:13 AM

Funny story actually. I stopped playing ROMs until I got my POKeMON SS game for the DS because I felt happening onto a Shiny in RSE/LGFR wouldn't be as satisfactory on an emu, where stuff doesn't matter.

A couple of days into my SS for my DS, I found a Shiny SUNSKURN at the National Park and recently, actually yesterday, I evolved it in a SUNFLORA.

Ah... sweet victory.

MiTjA June 17th, 2012 5:14 AM

The random wild encounters:

Gold: Pidgey
Sapphire: Poochyena, Numel
Emerald: Geodude, Linoone
Ruby: Whismur
Diamond: Pelipper, Whiscash, ~80 chained
Platinum: ~15 chained
Black: Swellow

I hatched approximately 1200 Ralts eggs in Emerald, none of which turned out shiny (but at least it got me a Modest one with 31 IV in three stats..)

Then there is pokeradar chaining....
I loved that, because it allows you to get so many shinies and even get them the wanted nature 50% of the time.. all you needed was patience, devotion and a full understanding of how it works.
I wish they would bring it back :( AND make it work while surfing...
From the top of my head I remember (the numbers withint error of +-2):
-4 Starly
-3 Shinx
-6 Elekid
-5 Magby
-7 Ralts (the first 6 were female, FU RNG)
-2 Nidoran M
-4 Roselia
-5 Voltorb
-3 Skiploom
-5 Magnemite
-5 Aron (the first one managed to Roar me away e_____e then I got Magnet Pull.)
-2 Tyrogue
-4 Swablu
-4 Gastly
-3 Gligar
-2 Phanpy
-4 Lickitung
-2 Absol
-3 Larvitar
-3 Eevee
-2 Togepi
-3 Makuhita
-3 Bagon
-4 Snover
-2 Smoochum
-1 Swinub (this one was hard.. bloody snow e_e)
-2 Snorunt (this one took me a week! And only one was female)
-3 Vibrava(GO TRY CHAINING IN THAT SANDSTORM I DARE YOU. You wont make it to 10 chains lol.)
-3 Beldum (same.)

The Beldum was frustrating me because the first 2 had some stupid natures like Lax or something, and I couldnt check the third as it went to PC, after which I broke the chain.

Most of the chained ones I took the best one and EV trained/evolved/leveled them.
People were calling me a cheater in every freaking battle, because my team was always half shiny rofl...

I remember having a Tangela, but I don't remember where I got that from e.e

Oh gawd this brings back memories. I seriously loved chaining. Almost wanna go do it again.

Wish I could have chained Skorupi, Lileep, Chinchou... they should have made more ways to do it :E

Yzhee June 17th, 2012 7:11 AM

shiny zubat in ruby and shiny cyndaquil (professor Elm gave me)

XtinaIsMeLuvinWWE June 17th, 2012 11:49 AM

A shiny Golbat in Pokémon Diamond :D

It was in the grassy area in the snowy bit above Mt Coronet :)

tokyodrift June 18th, 2012 6:52 PM

I actually haven't caught a shiny yet. Though, I have encountered a shiny Zubat but I didn't have any PokeBalls at the time to go for the catch. u_u

_CruzaComplex June 18th, 2012 7:22 PM

Hm...well, my first was way back in Ruby when I got Shiny Torkoal. Next, I believe it was Shiny Bellsprout in SoulSilver.

I've won a couple I know were legit in contests, namely Litwick and Charmander.

Also, I've had a Shiny Koffing use Selfdestruct on me early in Emerald. Not a capture, but it's heart-rending T-T

Xebelleon June 18th, 2012 7:25 PM

Zangoose, Pelipper, Tentacool, Shinx, Dewgong, Persian, Boldore, Rufflet

Evolved the Boldore to Gigalith. And only Rufflet and Gigalith are still in my posession.

Skillah June 18th, 2012 8:27 PM

I've caught a Shiny Machoke and a Shiny purlion

FlameChocobo June 18th, 2012 9:32 PM

On my Japanese copy of Pocket Monsters Ruby Version (Pokemon Ruby for short)

My reaction to this...



After catching myself a Makuhita, they decided to throw a shiny one at me.

fiOWNya June 18th, 2012 9:53 PM

Uh.. I've gotten the shiny (red) Gyarados.

That doesn't really count though. :(

No other shinies yet, but maybe some day. I don't really care about shinies too much, though some of the alternate forms look a lot cooler than the originals.

Draconicsoul June 19th, 2012 8:35 AM

Well, on my first Crystal file, I had a Shiny Unown I and a Seel, who I eventually evolved into Dewgong. Sadly, I could not transfer them over to Ruby. On Ruby, I did manage to get the Berry Fix Zigzagoon after quite some time in the Gamestop. Apparently they had two different demo discs for the GameCube display, and it took at least ten minutes for the staffer to figure out that the Fix was on the other one. I don't know if he really counts, but he IS a Linoone now, so yeah.

In Fire Red, I ran into a Shiny Paras, who is now a Parasect named Anzu living in my nearly-complete living Dex on White. Said cartridge also gave me a Raticate, who I plan to trade to a friend for a Vullaby when we get back to school, and an Unown Z, who I named Tart and is also a resident in my Living Dex.

Finally, my first Pearl file gave me a random Ponyta (Uni) who I have yet to evolve, and a Snorunt named Lady, who is now a Froslass. Both reside in the aforementioned Living dex.

(604 Pokémon obtained, and a bunch of Shinies to boot. Now I just need to find a new Shiny Seel. I may do some breeding with my current Dewgong, and the Ditto that I THINK is French. I may be wrong, though, so I need to search the GTS again.)

Haseyo June 19th, 2012 8:54 AM

My first (and I believe only) Shiny encounter was a Girafarig in my Crystal version. I need to stop using repels :/

Michielleus June 19th, 2012 11:00 AM

Shiny Carvanha after fishing in the safari zone. You don't know how nervous I was when throwing those safari balls. If it ran away, I would never forgive myself.

iArtemis June 19th, 2012 11:22 AM

I kept looking for them... it took me nearly 7 months before I eventually found one.. And it was a great one.. SHINY feebas!! Beat all the trouble for finding it. All those months of hard work eventually paid off. xD

LOOOOOOOOOOOL I literally JUST caught a Shiny VULPIX.

Proof (Note the date)

Ephemeral Euphoria June 19th, 2012 12:23 PM

Should mention the shiny Geodude I caught on Fire Red last week, that makes 2 shinies I now caught in-game so far with the other being a shiny Rattata in Leaf Green.

Although PokéRadar sounds fun and "profitable" it sort of takes away the meaning of shinies. Shinies are intended as "trophies" and are supposed to be rare. If everybody can get 20 shinies, then that destroys the whole point and value of shinies, in my opinion.

I would probably be addicted to PokéRadar though, if I could figure out how it works and if I wasn't too impatient.

The Fallen June 19th, 2012 5:29 PM

If I recall correctly, a shiny Zubat, Zigzagoon, Girafarig, Gyarados (haha), and a Gible.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire June 19th, 2012 6:20 PM

I seem to encounter one in almost each game (much like Pokerus...) though one's I've caught other than Red Gyrados in Ss have been a Zigzagoon now Linoone in Sapphire, Abra now Alakasm in Soulsilver, and Lilipup's second stage in White.

Ultimate Uchiha June 19th, 2012 7:09 PM

The only one that I can remember is a Yanma in Soul Silver.

Madam Cheezy June 20th, 2012 6:23 PM

Caught a shiny Ponyta in Pearl.
Named her Fable. <3

Ran into a shiny Graveler in the same cart, but, ran from it by accident.
Meh.

Mortalis June 20th, 2012 6:28 PM

A shiny Ghastly in Pokemon Diamond. This was December 2011, I believe.

Plasmette June 20th, 2012 6:39 PM

First Shiny was A Shinx. I was in the lunch room at school, with my two friends watching. When I saw those sparkles, I crapped my pants a million times. Seriously, I almost got out of my chair and screamed.
I caught a Starivia in Platinum also, using Pokeradar Chaining.
I have two VGC Eevees, one of which is a Flareon.
I have a Shiny Liepard.
Winter Suicune.
Red Gyrados.

Isаbella June 24th, 2012 2:36 AM

I was exploring in a cave when I ran into a shiny Paras. Not the best but I caught it as my 7th shiny.

Your school let you play pokemon at lunch? 0.o or were you being sneaky xDDD

I know this is probably something really obvious but what is a Winter Suicune? Is it a shiny Suicune or what?

CaptainSoap June 24th, 2012 6:51 PM

A shiny Pidgey in LG :D I haven't really done much with him. Wish I'd known about EV training back then but it's too late now. :P He's now a Pidgeotto and resides in my HG game.

MsWho June 24th, 2012 8:15 PM

In SoulSilver I ended up getting a shiny Totodile as my starter. I didn't even realize it was shiny until I was a bit into the game because the idea of a shiny was so new to me. If I've ever caught a shiny in my other games (Ruby, Sapphire, and LeafGreen) I don't know about it cause I hadn't thought of the concept.

Sakura Rain June 24th, 2012 10:26 PM

Well, since I consider myself quite the MM'er (in Black at least), I've got a bit of a list:

-Shiny Arcanine from Diamond (chained)
-Shiny Gurdurr from Black (random)
-Shiny Swablu from Black (this one, funnily enough, was a random hatch. I wasn't even trying for a shiny)
-Shiny Milotic from Black (MM'd)
-Shiny Growlithex2 from Black (MM'd. wanted one with Close Combat, ended up with twins sklfjsdlf.)
-Shiny Trapinch from Black

aaaaaand that's it. For now anyway, been trying to MM a Turtwig on Black as well.

Primary Spectrum June 24th, 2012 11:19 PM

My first shiny was a Starly in Pearl. Had pretty decent IV's, too. But it didn't really excite me because I had RNG'd shinies before, so the thrill was reduced

Perriechu June 25th, 2012 8:43 AM

Like... all the shiny Pokemon I own are caught/bred legitimately. I've too many to list but I do remember some of my caught ones. Fire Red was probably one of my first shiny Pokemon, it was an Ekans. n___n I didn't even know, because I'd literally just started to play Pokemon and thought it was an error. On the same game I found a shiny Jigglypuff which was impossible to tell if it was shiny since I was looking away then the sparkle occurred I caught it anyway. A Snover in Diamond which I nearly killed. In Black I found a shiny Durant. None of them had good natures/Iv's so now I think they're just rotting away on my Pokemon Diamond. :x Except Durant who was erased. They're the only Pokemon which I mostly remember and didn't try for.

SupremeSeeker June 25th, 2012 9:09 AM

I caught a shiny Pikachu in Fire Red which took literally 3 hours and that I didn't intend to find a shiny one. In Silver I caught a shiny Heracross don't know how long it took because it was years ago :/

Gulpin June 25th, 2012 3:01 PM

RNG abuse aside, I have caught a few random encounter shinys. My first was a shiny Voltorb in Sapphire, which I ended up evolving and trading away when I first started trading way back when. In either HeartGold or SoulSilver I managed to catch a shiny Swinub, which I just kept in my box and never evolved. In a playthrough of Ruby I was doing recently I had just started out and found a shiny Shroomish in Petalburg Woods. I decided to ditch my Treecko and used it instead. I evolved it and now it is sitting in my Diamond cartridge waiting to be transferred to White.

The Grubby Pup June 26th, 2012 12:06 PM

hmmm, da only shiny pokemon remember are from 3rd gen games.
Plusle, Zubat and Pidgey.

I also got a shiny Plusle on da romhack I made, but I don't think you fall that under the same category; I didn't hack it out, but still...it's da principal of the matter. LOL

Xander Olivieri June 26th, 2012 8:02 PM

Just found a Shiny Tympole in my All Dragon White game. So MAD that it appeared but I caught it anyway BWAHAHAHA! First Shiny of Black and White that I caught!

Mystical Mermaid June 26th, 2012 8:23 PM

Well Gyrados, obviously. Aside from that, in Crystal I had a shiny Rhyhorn that I discovered while level-grinding in Victory Road. I had also discovered a shiny Lugia but accidentally KOed it, and when I fought it again, it was normally colored. During one playthrough of emerald my starter (Torchic) turned out to be shiny, and in another run I encountered a shiny Zigzagoon but accidentally KOed it. I never found any shiny Pokemon in generation 4 outside of the legendary beasts from a Gamestop event. In Black I captured a shiny Golduck in the postgame which is in my current team.

Aeroplane June 27th, 2012 1:37 PM

Apart from Gyrados,

I got a shiny Mankey on my ex-girlfriends game.. don't think I'm getting it back though. :'(

zoo3891 June 28th, 2012 1:08 AM

I had a shiny Marill, caught in Emerald, but he/she was probably wiped along with whatever save I had it stored on. I caught a Magnemite, caught in Sapphire I believe, it's a Magnezone and in Pearl now.

iiZqHD July 4th, 2012 8:12 AM

I found a shiny magikarp in Ruby.
and a shiny shinx in White i think
