I'm pretty sure my first shiny was in Diamond. I was running around in the tall grass near the Day-Care center and I randomly ran into a wild Ponyta. I thought the game was glitching at first because the flames on its body were blue. So I caught it. Don't have it anymore, though... I gave it to my best friend as a gift.

My first shiny is... Pidgey. But I just left it in PC.

Mine was a Ghastly from Pearl that was just outside of the haunted estate. I was very surprised seeing as I don't hunt for them.

My first shiny was a female Pinsir in Leaf Green. I named her Shiny.

Mine was a treecko on emerald :3

It was either the Red Gyarados on my Pokemon Silver or Ash's Noctowl (which I'm guessing would count here).

Shiny Geodude in Pearl. I later evolved it into a shiny Graveler. Never got a shiny Golem, though.

A shiny Tentacool was the first one I seen back in Pokemon Gold for Gameboy Color. But I didn't know when it shined it was rare at the time.

The first one I caught was Hippop in the Safari Zone in Heart Gold and then later before Black and White came out I got a Shiny Ponyta on Mount Silver.

I think it was a either a Geodude or a Graveler in Pokemon Crystal.

My first shiny was a shiny Onix on Victory Road (Firered). It was weird that I encountered it again after I restarted the game through..

my first was the one I caught in platinum, it was a Roselia , and to this day it's the only non-gyarados shiny that I ever caught.

Flamingsnow November 2nd, 2012 2:40 PM

Probably Magby. lol that one is so weird :D

infersaime November 3rd, 2012 12:04 PM

Mine was Solrock in Ruby.

Niceneasy92 November 3rd, 2012 12:31 PM

My first shiny was actually a shiny magby from the egg the old couple give you in crystal, byt then I decided to restart to see if I could get a shiny elekid instead. I didn't... But I also caught a shiny zubat in sapphire. woo.

Aeon. November 3rd, 2012 12:46 PM

A Spinda in Sapphire.Six years later I also found a shiny Baltoy when I was playing Bloody Platinum.

ArcanaFlaera November 3rd, 2012 5:11 PM

These shinies all sound pretty awesome. I don't have a large history with Shinies ( only four, including the Gyarados ) So for, it was Vulpix, then I got a shiny starter ( Charmander & female, nicknamed her Maleficient ), Shroomish in Emerald.

Best news of all, I ran into a shiny... in the DreamWorld, on my White. I was screaming happily well internall, considering I was in class. Afterwards was lunch, so it was a different story. It was a Ponyta.

I seem to only get fire types as shinies, haha.

Mine was a shiny Teddiursa in Silver, but I didn't realise it was shiny until it was around level 50 since I had no idea what shiny Pokémon were back then and I only caught the Teddiursa because I really wanted to use one on my team. It's just lucky that it was something I wanted to catch that came up as a shiny, otherwise I would've most likely killed it. Looking back, I'm not sure how I didn't notice it was green paha.

Guess you were pretty lucky then. I didn't notice why my Vulpix was white until after I looked up why is my Vulpix white instead of brownish-red. That's when it hit me. 'THIS must be those shiny pokemon people talk about that are super rare!' then I freaked, then told them in their faces that I had a shiny Vulpix.

CourageHound November 3rd, 2012 7:58 PM

Mine was a shiny Meditite in diamond. I was so shocked to see a shiny, and also relieved that I caught it(seeing as I was low on pokeballs). But alas, I cant find my diamond :(. I also found a shiny Bibarel in my platinum while scouring Pastoria marsh for a scorupi.


Advice: ALWAYS have pokeballs on ya.

luke November 4th, 2012 12:32 PM

My first shiny was a Goldeen in the Tohjo falls. I didn't know they existed at the time so I was like "WHAT ARE THESE SPARKLES!?!?!?!" I think I deleted that file a long time ago though. :[

True Honey November 4th, 2012 1:17 PM

My first and only Shiny was a female Tropius that I caught by Fortree City.

Flydro November 18th, 2012 10:04 PM

not counting the default shiny Gyarados, I'm pretty sure my first shiny was a Pidgeotto I caught at Lake of Rage in my Gold version.. so glad I caught it before it could use whirlwind :]

Zapperz November 19th, 2012 12:53 AM

Hmm, besides the LOR Gyrados, it was a Shiny Tentacruel in my pokemon gold version.

Juicy November 19th, 2012 1:11 AM

My first shiny was a Tentacool in Pearl version but it's long gone now.
