Shiny Pokemon in D/P/Pt
 
I saw a thread like this for HG/SS, so I decided to make a D/P/Pt counterpart.

So, which Shiny Pokemon have you seen or caught in Diamond, Pearl or Platinum Versions?

TheLastAvenger August 27th, 2012 10:53 PM

I've gotten a shiny Budew in Diamond. I love Roserade's shiny form so I was psyched that I got it.

I caught a Shiny Raticate -_- in Diamond. In Platinum I found a Shiny Giratina after 20+ hours of soft resetting and I accidentally soft resetted my game. Then I grabbed my action replay and I quit hunting for a shiny Giratina.

Hikamaru August 29th, 2012 2:32 AM

I caught three Shiny Pokemon while playing my brother's Diamond.

A Budew, Graveler and Unown (U Form).

They still rest in his PC to this day. And not to mention this was one of two occasions I caught a Shiny Graveler.

PlatinumDude August 29th, 2012 2:15 PM

In Diamond, I caught a shiny Geodude, but I had to delete my old game. I also saw a shiny Staravia later on, but I fled from it. In Platinum, I caught Roselia, Sneasel, Marill and Blissey, but lost them when I lost the game itself.

Yeah. That Unown B was completely random. I was training my Umbreon in training, who so happens to be shiny and at the Timid nature. I know shininess is by chance, but it seems like she attracted that thing. Lol. I find shinies of Pokemon I don't want or not trying to find at all. >_>

Rainbow Arcanine September 4th, 2012 11:11 PM

I've only seen one shiny in D/P/Pt and that was a Graveler in Platinum. I was so excited about catching it, then KOed it. Haven't seen any shiny to this day, guess I'm unlucky
:(.

But that's what's great about them imo; their randomness takes you completely by surprise and really lightens your day! The shock and luck, really excites you, and it's a really warm feeling.

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ September 7th, 2012 3:01 AM

Shiny Ponyta (traded to a friend), shiny Buneary (still have), and a shiny Swinub (still have). None were obtained through chaining; these were all random wild encounters.

Squirrel September 21st, 2012 3:38 PM

I've caught absolutely countless shinies in Pearl. I've never caught any completely randomly, but I became absolutely obsessed with chaining and the Pokéradar after completely Pearl and I ended up catching almost all of the shiny grass-dwelling Pokémon there were xD I ended up with a max chain of over 400 or something silly like that which encompassed a fair few shiny Buizel, so yeah, I caught a lot of shinies on Pearl haha.

Wheaties October 1st, 2012 1:50 PM

I'm pretty stoked because I just found a shiny geodude completely randomly while leveling my pokémon on route 207. I was so shocked because I thought at first it was a glitch on my computer screen, but also it's kinda hilarious because I've been trying to get a shiny by using the Masuda Method with no luck for the past few days. But it's the first shiny pokémon I've actually ever received outside of a trade from a friend or by chaining. :pink_love:

Psystar63 October 1st, 2012 2:32 PM

In Diamond, I was lucky enough to run into a shiny Mightyena right off the bat with the Pokeradar (no chaining needed). My first ever shiny in Gen 4. I nicknamed him Howl. :)
http://www.serebii.net/Shiny/DP/262.png
While EV training in the Old Chateau I found a shiny Gastly. His nickname is Shadow!
http://www.serebii.net/Shiny/DP/092.png
In Platnium I caught a shiny Meditite as I was level grinding for the Eterna Gym. He's now a shiny Medicham.
http://www.serebii.net/Shiny/DP/307-m.pnghttp://www.serebii.net/Shiny/DP/308-m.png
And I was also pretty lucky with the Pokeradar in Platnium when I found a shiny Chatot only after one chain.
http://www.serebii.net/Shiny/Pl/441.png

Since then I've been breeding for shiny Pokemon in my Diamond game. I try to find shinies every now and then through chaining, but I can never seem to continue my chain over 35. So I just breed like crazy. Some of the shinies I've gotten are:

...Who knows how many eggs I've actually received in total. I remember filling up about 3 boxes full with Charmander eggs. And I've still never managed to hatch a shiny Pichu.

υ Shivam October 1st, 2012 7:20 PM

I have caught a shiny Heracross and a Unown (K form)

I have a shiny Budew too! :D (Although now she's a full-grown Roserade)
I found it randomly. I was planning to use Roserade for my Diamond team anyways, then after encountering, like, a MILLION bidoof(s?) the first Budew I found was shiny!!

Me too. I was so happy when I found it!

DoesntKnowHowToPlay October 5th, 2012 2:52 PM

Back in Pearl I found a shiny Machoke up in the north where it hails. I freaked out and, after looking up its set at that level, sent in Drifblim so it couldn't hurt itself with recoil, then did nothing but chuck Ultra Balls at it while the hail whittled it down. In Platinum I caught a random shiny Mr. Mime, and then later managed to chain seven shiny Machops using the pokeradar.

Kanade Otonashi October 5th, 2012 5:44 PM

I found a shiny Tentacruel not long ago in Platinum.

I squee'd cause Tentacruel is, like, my favoritest water pokemon ever <3

Golurks Were Meant to Fly October 5th, 2012 6:09 PM

The only shiny I have on Diamond is a Bibarrel. :B
It was actually really nice to get it though, I was grinding like crazy and I knew it was shiny as soon as it began to zoom across the screen.

alisaie October 5th, 2012 11:17 PM

Not including my Shiny Milotic which I had RNG'd for I have only randomly encountered one shiny Pokemon in D/P/Pt and that is a Shiny Budew. It was while I was in school and I was playing my DS instead of doing schoolwork if I remeber correctly. Almost missed seeing it was shiny but so glad that I didn't.

pokemonkim1 October 26th, 2012 2:29 PM

I only have one shiny Pokemon because I traded with my friend but I have never seen a shiny Pokemon in Pokemon pearl.

FrostPheonix October 27th, 2012 12:52 AM

Got a shiny shinx, a shiny sneasel, and I think a shiny psyduck. I tried getting their IVs to RNG but failed. So they're just sitting in my box :(
But i've got to say, i love the moment where you go 'WTF SHINY' :)

Synerjee October 27th, 2012 1:33 AM

I have never seen a shiny in DPP. :( I have tried chaining for one (usually ponyta, pachirisu, shinx, buizel etc.) for hours, but to no avail..my chain kept breaking after 20+. Shinies aren't very attracted to me, it seems. *sigh*

Correspondence October 29th, 2012 9:52 AM

I had caught a shiny Bronsor in Platinum.I never really tried the chaining method.

TheBigMan0706 November 3rd, 2012 2:35 PM

Mine was a shiny Ghastly i called "King Boo" in Pokemon Diamond. Have not seen another shiny since...

SammieLily2 November 7th, 2012 6:48 PM

The first Shiny I'd ever encountered was a Shiny Shinx in my restarted Platinum game. I was going to play through the game with a team that is very underused (in my opinion), and as I was grinding my Bidoof, it came up. I named him Harley. :D

And what's funny is that I was watching Captainsparklez at around midnight when I caught him. (Skyblock Ep. 11)

Pinta77 November 12th, 2012 12:59 AM

I have A LOT of shinies on my Diamond version. Let's see...

http://i425.photobucket.com/albums/pp335/Grasaldrea/ShinyHeatrananimated.gif
I dunno how to soft reset, so I turned it on and off a lot until it was shiny

http://i567.photobucket.com/albums/ss117/PokemonPlatinumSprites/Shiny%20Sprites/215SneaselFemale.png
Just ran into it

http://i567.photobucket.com/albums/ss117/PokemonPlatinumSprites/Shiny%20Sprites/172Pichu.png
Got the event one in a trade and found one that I evolved into

http://i1270.photobucket.com/albums/jj611/eveestevie642/ShinyEPikachuSprite.gif

shiny pikachu

And that's about it. I have 2 shiny gyaradoses from soul silver, a shiny machamp that I found as a shiny machop on soul silver, shiny Entei from the gamestop event, and um... I think that's it.

Seki November 12th, 2012 5:48 PM

None, tried chaining but failed miserably.

That is soft-resetting! :P

I never really soft-reset to be honest, I don't really have the patience; and while a shiny legendary may be nice, I'm not willing to sacrifice so much time.

iZTwi November 14th, 2012 4:32 AM

I spent my whole time in Platinum soft reseting for Shiny Piplup, which I have. And then once I got to hearthrome, I spent my whole saturday soft reseting for Shiny Eevee from Bebe, which I now have :)

How long did this take you? A 1/8192 chance seems much more like a 1/50 chance to EVERYONE but me. I've played every game TWICE except for Black/Black 2 (white/white 2) and I have still not gotten a legitmate shiny pokemon.

Maybe I should use the radar more often and chain.. but that just makes it seem like im bending the odds to get one.

I have a shiny story of my own.. but it wasn't mine. When I was 7, I was playing Emerald with my Brother, and he found a shiny Spinda. He fainted it because he didn't like Spinda (which is reasonable, but COME ON)

To this day, I dread the fact that even MY OWN FAMILY can get shinies before me :(

Sableye~ December 7th, 2012 3:51 PM

My first shiny ever was on Diamond.
A flipping Bidoof. D:
But I was stupid and reset my game, forgetting that it was there. My only shinies obtained on Diamond are a Buneary and a Nidoran which was probably hacked but whatever.

...Now I want to go breed for shiny Pokemon. I'm going to go browse pictures of them until I find one that I really want to get.

Sassy Milkshake December 7th, 2012 5:58 PM

Haven't gotten a shiny Pokemon outside of the third generation. I mean honestly. It'd be nice to see a shiny, any shiny. But noooo. I tried chaining for Rhyhorn in Pt. I think it was, got to a decent 30 streak then lost it. ;P

ahmet476 December 9th, 2012 5:48 PM

I haven't seen one yet but got my shiny Numel migrated from Sapphire. It has blue stuff coming out of it's back :D I was checking my old games and seen a shiny Pidgeot in one of the old games in a pc box and got one more but I forgot.

Tman December 9th, 2012 7:53 PM

I've RNG'd plenty of Shiny's but I don't take as much pride in them as I do the one's I found in the wild. I found 2 Shiny's on one Ruby file after replaying it for the millionth time. A shiny Skitty and a shiny Numel. Then on my Platinum I found a shiny Magnemite while screwing around at Fuego Ironworks! Love these guys a lot more than my RNG's.

smilepokeMark December 13th, 2012 3:17 AM

After 25 resets I get my starter to be a shiny"A SHINY TURTWIG"3 months ago in pokemon patinum and then I have now Totterra Lv.68 and my 2nd nd last up to now was "A SHINY GIRATINA" after almost 105 resets it takes 3 days 2 nights and 3 dawn

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ December 17th, 2012 10:42 AM

I ran into a shiny Gligar on my second time of using the Pokeradar (is that whats it called), but I had no idea that there was a trick for chaining Pokemon. Once my friend told me about this I tried to do it and failed and never did it again. However, I did manage to capture a shiny Drifloon (luck, I know :D ), starly, geodude, shinx, gastly and a ponyta.


:t354:TG

Captain Gizmo December 17th, 2012 10:47 AM

I've never seen a shiny Pokemon in the wild. I did however, bred a shiny Treecko <3

Awkward Squirtle December 28th, 2012 9:47 AM

I only have 1 hour playtime in my Pearl version (no badges yet), but I've already found five shinies: three Shinx, a Bidoof, and a Budew.
Unfortunately I ran out of Poké Balls when fighting the third Shinx, so I only caught four of them.

I'm beginning to think my game is bugged.

EDIT: And just caught another shiny Bidoof. Definitely keeping this save file?

Arlo December 28th, 2012 10:08 AM

For whatever reason, I haven't had much luck with shinies in DPPt. I never SR for them or anything, so all the ones I have are ones I just stumbled across. In the third gen games, I caught shinies of Zubat, Doduo, Electrike, Tentacool, Numel, Voltorb and Geodude. In Diamond I caught another Zubat, and that's it. It's an amazing Zubat - Jolly nature and with at least high 20s for all the important stats - easily the most useful shiny I've ever caught. But it's the only one in any of the three games.

Margaery Tyrell December 28th, 2012 11:19 AM

I currently don't have any shinies, but I'm trying to get a shiny Staravia...shiny Staraptor, for some odd reason, dazzles me. By far the most beautiful shiny I've seen, in my opinion.
