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? |
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.
|
I caught three Shiny Pokemon while playing my brother's Diamond.
http://sprites.pokecheck.org/s/406.gifhttp://sprites.pokecheck.org/s/075.gifhttp://sprites.pokecheck.org/s/201-u.gif 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. |
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.

Caught:
http://www.serebii.net/Shiny/DP/396-m.png x2 (Diamond) http://www.serebii.net/Shiny/Pl/418.png x1 (Platinum) http://www.serebii.net/Shiny/Pl/427.png x1 (Platinum) http://www.serebii.net/Shiny/HGSS/161.png x2 (HG & SS) http://www.serebii.net/Shiny/HGSS/215-f.png x1 (SS @Jolly with Perfect IV in Attack and, sadly, Special Defense XD) http://www.gtsplus.net/files/images/sprites/rubysappshiny/201-b.png x1 (SS @Timid Perfect IV in Special Attack. Hidden Power of Ground) http://www.serebii.net/Shiny/DP/019-f.png x1 (SS @Modest) 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. >_> |
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
:(. |

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.
|
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.
|
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:
|
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: http://www.serebii.net/Shiny/DP/001.pnghttp://www.serebii.net/Shiny/DP/004.pnghttp://www.serebii.net/Shiny/DP/037.pnghttp://www.serebii.net/Shiny/DP/054.pnghttp://www.serebii.net/Shiny/DP/120.pnghttp://www.serebii.net/Shiny/DP/133.pnghttp://www.serebii.net/Shiny/DP/155.png http://www.serebii.net/Shiny/DP/173.pnghttp://www.serebii.net/Shiny/DP/175.pnghttp://www.serebii.net/Shiny/DP/227.pnghttp://www.serebii.net/Shiny/DP/255.pnghttp://www.serebii.net/Shiny/DP/280.pnghttp://www.serebii.net/Shiny/DP/328.pnghttp://www.serebii.net/Shiny/DP/359.png ...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. |
I have caught a shiny Heracross and a Unown (K form)

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!! |

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.
|
I found a shiny Tentacruel not long ago in Platinum.
I squee'd cause Tentacruel is, like, my favoritest water pokemon ever <3 |
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. |
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.
|
I only have one shiny Pokemon because I traded with my friend but I have never seen a shiny Pokemon in Pokemon pearl.
|
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' :) |
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*
|
I had caught a shiny Bronsor in Platinum.I never really tried the chaining method.
|
Mine was a shiny Ghastly i called "King Boo" in Pokemon Diamond. Have not seen another shiny since...
|
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) |
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. |
None, tried chaining but failed miserably.

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