What Shiny pokemon have you captured Legitly?
 
(It appears my first post was deleted. Probably put it in pokemon general by mistake and an Admin deleted it, or hit cancel)

What Shiny pokemon have you managed to find and capture legitly? I've personally found a Shiny Zubat and a Shiny Koffing in Emerald. When I gave the game to my brother a year later, he found a Shiny Whismur. No, the red Gyarados you get for free in HG/SS Doesn't count.

ShinyGlameow April 3rd, 2012 10:24 AM

None yet but I'm trying for Eevee on diamond atm. Chaining in trophy garden and masuda with Korean glameow.

mikey April 3rd, 2012 11:35 AM

Shiny hoot-hoot in my Gold, and a shiny pidgey in my Heartgold.

I'm actually trying out the masuda method for a shiny snorunt right now, but yeah.

infersaime April 3rd, 2012 11:48 AM

Shiny solrock in Ruby and shiny graveler in diamond but failed to catch graveler.

Giraffe April 3rd, 2012 11:51 AM

A shiny Buneary and Snover in my Diamond, & a shiny Minccino in Black.

Nomine April 3rd, 2012 12:00 PM

I've gotten a shiny Pikachu on Leaf Green and a shiny Scyther on Gold... that's pretty much it so far.

Dabulewicz April 3rd, 2012 12:08 PM

[SIZE="a"]Shiny lilipup in white first playthru on beginning route[/SIZE]

Hilbert April 3rd, 2012 12:12 PM

A shiny Hariyama at Victory road...

Killjoy April 3rd, 2012 12:14 PM

Shiny Growlith (Sp?) on HG, and shiny Staravera (Sp?) on Pt

The former leads my Black team as an Arcanine, and the later sits in my White version (as a Staraptor with all the other Pokémon I've accumulated there.

BIGoDeViN April 3rd, 2012 12:27 PM

A shiny Beautifly on Emerald, and a shiny Ponyta on Pearl.

Sydian April 3rd, 2012 12:49 PM

I've randomly found shiny Whismur, Golbat, Fearow, Ekans, Venipede, and Metang. I have all of them still, except for the Whismur. And I have RNGed a fair few shinies, but I guess that depends on if you consider RNGing legit. And I've never gotten a shiny via Masuda or chaining.

PlatinumDude April 3rd, 2012 1:40 PM

You can't get a legit shiny Mewtoo. If you got it through trading, whomever you got it from hacked it in, and thus it is not legit. I'm nearly positive that there is currently no way to legitly get a shiny legendary pokemon.

I've only ever caught one legitimately, Rhyhorn, in Platinum, took me freakin ages to chain that SOB and haven't bothered to try since.

I've caught a shiny Spearow in Pokemon crystal, but abandoned it.

Then, I found a shiny Nincada in Pokemon Sapphire, so I sent it to my Soulsilver. It still rests in my SS Pc. (Btw, if I evolve the shiny Nincada, do I get a shiny Ninjask & shiny Shedinja?)

I also found a shiny Metapod in a hacked Pokemon game recently, but I didn't capture it (too lasy for that now)

It's called soft resetting, RNGing, or luck. Signomi, a member here, found a shiny Virizion on Black her first time facing it, without even trying for it to be shiny. So yes, it's possible to get shiny legendaries. All except for Victini, Reshiram, and Zekrom. So if anyone says they have a shiny one of those, then it's definitely not legit. I don't think shiny Arceus or Celebi is either, since I don't think you can RNG for shiny Wondercard Pokemon.

Oh. And I totally forgot to mention my shiny Igglybuff. Woo hoo odd egg!

Hikamaru April 4th, 2012 4:26 PM

In SoulSilver I have a shiny Farfetch'd.

In my brother's Diamond he has three shinies - Budew, Graveler and Unown (U Form)

Also, in Black today I was looking for items in the Chargestone Cave and caught a shiny Drilbur! He's my first shiny capture in Unova.

And in Ruby, I have a shiny Duskull.

bullrex April 4th, 2012 9:36 PM

I've only caught two Shinies in my lifetime
A shiny Lairon in Emerald, just minutes after my long owned aggron died to wally in a nuzlocke.
and A shiny Starly in Diamond minutes after my first starly died in a grinding accident

What's RNGing? Never heard of it.

Nearsighted king of Ice April 5th, 2012 3:26 AM

Rather Zakki April 5th, 2012 7:02 AM

A shiny Zubat and a shiny Koffing in Gold and hatched a shiny Charmander in Diamond.
