Shiny Pokemon Thread
 
So, found any shinies recently in B2/W2? If so, let us know here! Did they escape your grasp? Run out of Ultra Balls? Or did you catch it on your first attempt?
I guess the closest I've been is... I haven't. Still no shinies in B2/W2 for me, but I'll keep looking! :)

Basculin February 11th, 2013 2:28 PM

I have received no shinies in any of my games. xP
Well, I have traded for some, but I have never come across 1 myself.

Hikamaru February 11th, 2013 6:15 PM

So far in my Black 2 I have seen no shinies. I hope that all changes soon.

Czupo February 11th, 2013 8:12 PM

I've yet to come across a shiny in Black 2.

11wildy February 12th, 2013 1:20 AM

No shinies yet, only found shinies on Crystal so far, which I can't send to Black 2 either :(

*Shiny*Monster0198 February 12th, 2013 1:47 AM

Found a shiny Ducklett? Was pretty close to running away too lol. ^_^

何贤豪 February 12th, 2013 1:57 AM

Well, I got a Shiny Lillipup in my Black 2 and a Shiny Litwick in my White 2.
The Shiny Lillipup was found real early...Flocessy Ranch to be exact.
The Litwick was found post-game in Celestial Tower...I think. I just went to have a little look-see and found it.

Floodblade1234 February 12th, 2013 6:08 AM

not yet! still in the middle of playing it so I'll keep me peepers out for them! XD on a side note my first shiny was a shiny Ralts in pokemon emerald after looking for one for about half an hour (because wally had one and I was like O_O ooh..pretteh) so whenI caught one I named him Galaxy! ever since I've had a pokemon called Galaxy in my game!

and..you know..Galaxy chocolate tastes freakin' awesomelicious!

Kikaito plush February 12th, 2013 6:22 AM

In the middle of training my Zubat I found a shiny Purrlion. It was a close call but I caught it

Chaos Fork February 12th, 2013 4:16 PM

None yet. I'm never lucky with shinies. Found a shiny Rabuta berry i mean Basculin and used final gambit

ShinyBoss February 13th, 2013 7:46 AM

I caught a shiny Boldore. It came out of nowhere lol. I love the blue stones rather than the red ones ;;

WishCookie February 13th, 2013 11:41 AM

No not yet but my latest shiny which is my first ever i came across last year in black was Axew ^_^

Murt93 February 13th, 2013 1:25 PM

I caught a shiny basculin two days ago while ev training so dissapointing :L I wouldnt have even noticed if it wasnt for the stars

alisaie February 13th, 2013 11:26 PM

I caught a Shiny Azurill while I was doing... something! I don't remember why I was in the area with Azurill is but I found it and happily caught it. It doesn't have a good nature with it's ability being Huge Power but I don't care. It's my first and only shiny for fifth generation and is now a shiny Azumarill.

Z25 February 18th, 2013 10:54 AM

other then the shiny haxorus and and gible already programmed no. I have found one in every game except black 2( not counting the ones i mentioned) and fire red. I have done over 4,000 encounters to find one but no luck. I am going to find one i hope by looking. I am going to search till i find one. I hope it doesn't go over 20,000 encounters.

QuickSilveri February 18th, 2013 12:53 PM

FOund my first shiny ever a couple weeks ago. Caught a shiny shellmet. Found a trusty friend to trade me and I got a Accelgor. Looks really sick but i stopped using it since it doesnt hit as hard as i would like, even after Ev training.

Regards, Chris

Jellicent♀ February 18th, 2013 4:30 PM

Actually, during my very first play-through, I caught a shiny Vanillish! c:
He became an epic part of my team, to. <3 after that, I haven't found anything. :c

waveguidebuizel February 18th, 2013 4:56 PM

I found my first fifth-gen-game shiny in the middle of the main story in my White 2 (in the Relic Passage, entered from the PWT side): a golden Onix I named Aurum (periodic table name for gold; I want to say it's Latin). But alas, I didn't add it to my team because I'd have too many common weaknesses.

Fennevyrom February 20th, 2013 2:09 AM

Haven't come across any in black 2, did once in white but didn't catch(Shiny stoutland, honestly), and I caught one in pearl(OH YEAH GREEN FEAROW). But I guess this is just abut black and white 2, so no, haven't come across any or caught any.

Student D1 February 20th, 2013 4:23 AM

I did have a shiny Hypno, but I traded it for another Pokémon in the GTS (and before you say anything... it's my choice). Besides, I have another Hypno which has better stats and nature than the shiny one.

So, as of now, I do not have any shiny Pokémon in my possession. I am planning to get the Shiny Charm once I complete the National Pokédex, even if it may seem to be a difficult task. It'll take a lot of migrating and transferring from one generation to another, but it's worth a shot if I were to get that key item.

ShinySamurott98 February 25th, 2013 6:54 PM

Well, I have a shiny... I asked my friend for a Tepig with Pokerus (because like all of his Pokemon have pokerus >w<) and I'm like got the tepig? So we traded (i gave him... i think a audino or something) And im like WTF ITS SHINY?!?!?! ANd he's like... Wait, you didn't want a shiny? So yeah it took him about a week to get a shiny tepig off gts >w<

Other than that, I've been playing pokemon since Sapphire and the only shiny i ever found was the Happiny egg in Pearl... that i got from my cousin >w< i didn't really know about shinies until heart gold came out lol...

PowerArmor34 February 25th, 2013 8:18 PM

My first playthrough of the game i got a shiny pidove at the very start at the ranch, then when i fased latios later on the first try was shiny and i almost cried. Then when i was doing the regis i was getting to regice and then it was shiny first try, all in one playthrough. i still have that file too and i am so proud of it. i caught them all too :D

Silver Crow February 26th, 2013 2:00 AM

I caught a shiny Level 31 Solosis yesterday, in Strange House. Was so excited until I saw its stats. Careful nature and the wrong ability....(Overcoat, not Magic Guard). Still, it's shiny so I will evolve it as I love Reuniclus's shiny form~

Also sent over my shiny Furrett from Black before I restarted it, caught it as a Sentret. In my time playing these games, I've only ever caught three legit shinies. Caught a Woobat a year ago but lost it after I sold my game...

Akatsuki Ten March 7th, 2013 2:40 AM

I caught a shiny Audino a couple months ago, out on that island past the P2 Laboratory and just a few hours ago I managed to find a shiny Mareep at the Floccesy Ranch and I already evolved it to Ampharos!

Cyclone March 7th, 2013 8:04 AM

My only three Shiny experiences start in Emerald with a Nincada that I've left untouched and clone at Lv.7 (near-starter so to speak), and is imported to Black. My other two are both Audinos; the first took a crit. (damn!) at Virbank Complex and the other, a bit more hardy at Lv.51 on Route 23, was captured. Prior to this, I had taken a trade-in of a Lv.100 Audino of someone else's as well as a Lv.70 Sawsbuck, and have a Lv.100 Entei around somewhere in Black as well. Oh, and a Lv.99 Dragonite. And a few Event ones plus that Red Gyarados.

Firox March 7th, 2013 1:39 PM

I just encoutered my first shiny today in Black 2 (I already mentioned it in another topic - on the shinies topic). To my surprise it was one of my favorite Pokemon. Level 39 female Mienfoo. To me, its the find of a lifetime, and my only Master Ball was used. My other Pokemon were too strong (low to mid 50's), I feared attacking her would make her faint in one hit. I named her after my mom and grandma, Maria.



I was jumping up and down with joy for about half-hour, I still couldn't believe it. My First Shiny. Before in any game, I had never encountered a shiny.

Just caught a shiny Gligar two days after I got the Mareep, already evolved it to Gliscor. Looking for more shinies at the moment, probably until X/Y come out.

B-L-A-Z-E March 10th, 2013 7:04 AM

I've only found one shiny in all my time playing black and white 2 and that was a Sunkern. Unfortunately, it's a Pokemon I'll never use so hopefully I can find one I'll actually be able to use on my team.

Xilfer March 11th, 2013 1:39 PM

I've got the shiny Gible that Benga gives you in Black 2. I also have a shiny Gyarados transferred from Soulsilver, and a hacked shiny Regirock I got from some random guy. (Don't ask)

I am currently using the Masuda Method to try and get me a shiny Golett. I'm breeding a Japanese Ditto with a Golurk from my game. Still no luck, unfortunately, but I'm hoping for that 1 in 1000-ish chance.

Xatano11 March 17th, 2013 3:39 PM

Can someone help me where i can buy/find razor fang in black 2? I want to evolve my gligar

Route 11. Alternatively, it's buyable at Battle Subway or the PWT. Source (Use that for other evolutionary item research! :) )

Xatano11 March 17th, 2013 4:23 PM

thanks a lot cyclonGU, Finally i will evolve my gligar haha :))

PlatinumDude March 18th, 2013 9:03 AM

Found a shiny Petilil in White 2 and a shiny Purrloin in Black 2. Those were unexpected.

Princess Sandshrew March 19th, 2013 5:50 AM

In all I have got 5 shinies ever.
First was a Goldeen in Tojo Falls in Pokemon Gold
Second was a Smoochum from the gift egg in Crystal
Third was a Drowzee in Crystal, Route 11
Fourth was a Foongus in Pokemon Black, from the overworld Foongus that look like items.
Fifth was Azurill in Black 2, Floccesy Ranch and it is now a Azumarill in my party. :)

This is not including Red Gyarados and wifi events

GarlandDaHero April 1st, 2013 6:15 AM

...I never found any wild shinies in either of my White 2 playthroughs. The only shiny I got in the game was the Shiny Dratini Benga gives you. *headdesk*

Yoshi119 April 1st, 2013 6:25 AM

I have found two shinies before~
My first was in Leafgreen and was a Weedle ._. I was still really happy, though. It was funneh, cus my cousin was actually playing my Gameboy at the time, and called me in saying 'Why is this purple?' and I was like O____Oomg
My second was a blue Boldore in Black, because I was actually searching for a Boldore to trade with somebody on the GTS...I soon forgot about trading, and didn't even bother catching another cus I was just over the moon xD My Weedle is like dead now lol Because I migrated it to Platinum, but the Platinum ended up being counterfeit, so it completely stopped working eventually. R.I.P Sparkles the Weedle ;_;

abarai April 5th, 2013 4:52 PM

Ran into a shiny Nosepass while walking through Chargestone cave.
Was quite surprised as it was only my second time encountering a wild shiny pokemon.
The first being a Gastly in Pearl.

Yusshin April 5th, 2013 7:21 PM

I found a Shiny Hoothoot in Crystal, before you get PokeBalls. It was my first Wild Pokemon lol ><

Other than that, I found a Shiny Audino in my French Version of W2 ^^ cute purple thing!

Frost Mage April 6th, 2013 12:22 AM

Caught my first shiny the other day by a random encounter, an Audino! Rarely encountered the Pokemon before, and when I looked it up, I realized that it appears in shaking grass and gives more experience when you take them down, and that's how I got my Pokes powerful enough to beat the E4 (this is White by the way). :D

Toko April 7th, 2013 5:34 PM

I encountered a wild shiny Vespiquen 2 days ago on my Black 2 but I only had 4 balls available to try and catch it. No matter how strongly I wished for it to happen, it didn't. So I just KO'd it and desperately tried finding another shiny(after purchasing more balls). But as you know these things barely ever cross your way, so the more frustrating it is to not have caught that Vespiquen.

Rai April 7th, 2013 6:36 PM

In Black, I came across a shiny Boldore one day in Victory Road. I caught and evolved it. It looks so awesome as a Gilgalith! :D

I have yet to come across any wild shinies in my Black 2.

DebbieChicharito April 10th, 2013 6:48 AM

I caught a shiny Audino on the 4th at route 15. Hope to come across another shiny sometimes

simplysam April 10th, 2013 7:18 AM

I haven't come across a shiny in Black 2 yet, but in my White 2 version I came across a shiny Drifblim while training and caught it.
Then the very next day in the same area found a shiny lunatone and caught it.
xD
I've traded for a few shinies though, but those are the only two I've found and caught on my own.

AtecainCorp. April 10th, 2013 9:45 AM

My First shiny Pokemon in Pokemon B2/W2 is SHINY WOOBAT.

Autaven April 13th, 2013 2:06 AM

Not encountered any shiny in Black 2 yet :( (I've only ever had 2, I caught a tentacool, one of my least favourite pokemon and I was traded a shiny Eevee in Diamond). But I'm still hopeful!

Demon Days April 13th, 2013 3:04 AM

My Shiny Rattata... in Castelia Sewers. With Hugh as your partner. Exactly where Hugh KOed a Shiny Rattata on my friend's Black 2 run-through. I feel blessed.

I got the shiny Dratini that Benga gives you in White 2, green Dragonite is way suckier than orange Dragonite, but eh, it's a Shiny!
I also found a wild Boldore that I trade back and forth with my friend so it would turn into a SHINY GIGALITH!

I found a shiny Sigilyph as well! Except it used whirlwind...

Synerjee April 13th, 2013 5:38 AM

My only shiny was a shiny Audino in Black 2. I was just going about on one of my normal mass Audino hunting sessions when suddenly PURPLEAUDINOMGOMGOMG. <3

Altairis April 13th, 2013 12:12 PM

I haven't seen a wild shiny Pokemon in any of my games since Sapphire, years ago =/ I don't really have the patience to actually go looking but I guess it's just not going to happen.

zdude18 April 13th, 2013 5:06 PM

i was just training my chimchar and then i randomly came across a shiny patrat, so lucky right?

Also, what happens if you find a Shiny in a Double Wild Battle? You're screwed, right lol since you can't catch Pokemon in a Double Battle.

You can. You just have to defeat the non-shiny Pokémon, then you're free to catch the shiny.

Does anyone have a shiny Growlithe they are looking to trade?

Someone in the Trade Corner might have one. I personally have only two of my own from the wild, those being Nincada and Audino. Everything else of mine is Event or Trade, and no Growlithe.

Cyclone

Without cheats i have only caught/seen 4 shinies. A shiny geodude in silver, a shiny yanma in silver, a shiny ponyta in diamond, (i lost my diamond:/) and a Shiny pikachu in SS
Edit: Sorry I should read the first post... anyways I have not seen any shinies in black 2 :(

Kitori April 17th, 2013 8:34 AM

I've caught 3 non-programmed shinies so far in white 2! My first two were amoonguss and lunatone which I weren't too thrilled about... but I just got absol and it makes up for two not exciting (for me, sorry if you like them!) shinies as it's one of my favorite pokemon. ^___^;


Magnetic April 18th, 2013 4:14 PM

I've been playing Pokemon since Red/Blue and I don't think I've ever found one shiny haha. The only ones I've ever had were traded/made for me.

So nope, nothing in W2/B2

Ledgetheorc April 19th, 2013 9:16 AM

First and only Shiny ever caught, Pokemon White: Krokorok. It's stats were pretty garbage though, so somewhat depressing. I just happened to stumble upon this sucker in Relic Castle while doing the storyline. xD

Nicktaco April 19th, 2013 1:38 PM

I got a shiny gible (the programmed one)

SoulSilver10112 April 19th, 2013 8:51 PM

In Black 2 and White 2, I have not run into any shinies, but in Black 2, I traded for both a shiny Audino and a shiny Pawinard, both female.

ilias_ April 22nd, 2013 4:49 AM

I have never run into a shiny Pokemon before! :( I am trying to defeat the Black Tower so I'll get that shiny Gible but it is too hard! haha

Ventrus_Howl May 15th, 2013 10:16 AM

Still havent found any myself i hope i can soon i really want a Shiny Haxorus

hiff8 May 15th, 2013 3:54 PM

I'm attempting to breed for a shiny Tyname/ Elektross, mainly cause his sprite looks all green and...I like...green. But I'm not sure I'm ready for this, I mean how long is it supposed to take? I have a German ditto and that's what I'm Mussaduaing with but I've gone through like 4 boxes and still nothing...

Nusdogg May 15th, 2013 6:27 PM

How do you know if they're shiny or not? I've encounter one type of Pokemon in different color at different times, and I don't know if it was Shiny or not. Is there suppose to be a shiny thingy around them when they pop up like the red Gyrados in Silver Edition in GBC?

There's a scripted one you get when you fill the unova dex

hiff8 May 18th, 2013 7:25 AM

Got it, I hatched the shiny Tynamo, and I have few things to say about the hatching process
  • Was It Idiotic: Oh yeah, probably the biggest time waster in the history of people
  • Did the Musada effect make it fast and easy: Absolutely not, I must've filled up 50 boxes with Tynamo before I hatched a shiny
  • Would you do it again?: Not if you payed me.
  • Was it worth it?: You bet your arse it was. I mean look at this! http://www.serebii.net/Shiny/BW/604.png

Yes, there's a sparkling animation and a sound effect when the Pokemon appears. Now, maybe the Pokemon you're talking about is Frillish or Jellicent, where males are different colored than females? Or Deerling, where the color changes depending on the season?

Santanabanana May 18th, 2013 10:57 AM

I'm willing to trade any legendary for either a Darkrai or a shiny.:/ I've never seen a shiny yet-.- and I've tried. I've played Diamond then SS then Fire Red then Diamond again then Black then black 2

Akatsuki Ten May 20th, 2013 11:04 AM

•Ampharos
•Gliscor

•Haxorus (Completing Dex)

Just been roaming!!!


You sir, are by far the luckiest person in the world. 5 Shinies, and he's "Just been roaming" that's like winning the lottery and then getting struck by lightning and then the ticket get super charges it making it worth double, are you sure they're shiny do they have the red star and the glittering animation?

Akatsuki Ten May 22nd, 2013 3:03 PM

Lol, yes they are all shiny, I can confirm this. I just go to random areas and run around. I've been through at least 300 battles in just one day. I'm not even looking for anything specific, just looking for whatever I can find!

By any chance, do you have the Shiny Charm from Prof. Juniper? Still, that's pretty good, I know shiny hunters spend a lot of time hunting, how much time did it take you to find all those shinies?

Precious Tears May 22nd, 2013 11:25 PM

I got my first shiny Herdier on Route 1. :)

Yes, I do have the shiny charm, definitely helps find them easily. I'll spend at minimum a week in one area and if nothing I'll go somewhere else, completely at random.

Some took longer than others to find. Mareep took only about 2 or 3 days. Audino took longer than expected, training by battling hundreds of them. I don't recall how long it took to find Gligar. I actually just found Tranquil last week within 2 or 3 days as well. I just moved my location looking to find either Poliwhirl or Politoed.

So I just caught a shiny Poliwhirl. WAT DO. http://sprites.pokecheck.org/s/062.gif or http://sprites.pokecheck.org/s/186.gif

I **** you not, today, one day after I caught the shiny Poliwhirl (which I picked Poliwrath btw) I caught a shiny Roselia. I was looking for not even a half hour when I found it. Even with the Shiny Charm I'm getting TOO lucky.

EDIT: 2 Days later, I caught a shiny Sandshrew.

Okazaki~Tomoya May 27th, 2013 11:14 PM

So what ratio does the lucky charm cut down the chances of finding a Shiny too? i'm not very wise on finding shiny pokemon so what methods reduce the chance to its most accurate form in white and black 2?

T!M May 28th, 2013 1:00 AM

I've just traded over all my Shinies from my Black save to my Black 2 save. (x2 Golems, 1 Sunkern, 1 Vulpix and 1 Gyarados)

Their origins being from my SoulSilver save.

Actually you have a 1 out of 8192 or a 0.012% chance. The Shiny Charm increases your chances to 1 in 2,730.6 or a 0.036% chance. You must have misread the information some where else. 1 in 1365.3 or a 0.073% chance is the Masuda Method. However using the Shiny Charm in conjunction with the Masuda Method results in a 1 in 1024 or a 0.097% chance of getting a Shiny.

You must have misread the information some where else. 1 in 1365.3 or a 0.073% chance is the Masuda Method. However using the Shiny Charm in conjunction with the Masuda Method results in a 1 in 1024 or a 0.097% chance of getting a Shiny.

Yeah, I did misread it, sorry. On serebii the way they worded its details confused me. http://www.serebii.net/itemdex/shinycharm.shtml

Man, took me nearly two weeks to get another shiny. Just got a shiny Liepard yesterday.

Shiny pokemon in the wild are extremely rare even if you manage to get the Shiny Charm from completing the pokedex. There's no 'real' way to find them in the wild other than to just look for long periods of time. It doesn't long every time, though. I was lucky enough to find a shiny within 15 minutes of looking. But what the person you quoted was talking about is a given shiny. Depending on what game you have, if you have White 2 you can go to the White Treehollow and eventually battle Benga who, if defeated, will give you a shiny Dratini. If you have Black 2 you go to Black Tower, defeat Benga and he'll give you a shiny Gible. If you complete the Unova Dex, you will also get a plane pass (from Juniper) to go find a shiny Haxorus.

Friend Codes are for communicating with other people through wi-fi.

I have been pokemon scene the original red and blue, (i know shiny pokemon were not introduced until silver and gold) . I have never seen a wild shiny pokemon. I know it's all random and the odds are very high. If anyone has any advice like amount of time i should spend in one area, it would be a huge help.

Just recently, myself and a friend of mine were trying to complete the 'Seen' section of the Regional Dex to gain access to the Nature Preserve, the place with the Shiny Haxorus. It didn't take too long, and I was pleased when I caught it.
After this, I decided to catch everything else that was in the area, while I was there. So I went for a surf, and came across this:

Just a plain ol' Red Basculin, right?

Wrong.

Apparently, this qualifies as a 'Shiny Pokémon', despite being merely a shade or two brighter.

I'm happy that I managed to come across a 'legit' shiny directly after being given one by the game, but I wish it were an Altaria or something else that appears in that area. :/ This is the only shiny I've found to date in White 2.

Xolace June 22nd, 2013 10:43 PM

I found my first Shiny ever. I then proceeded to kill said Shiny in one hit. >.>

I don't like Ratata anyway. Hmph!

FennekinFox June 26th, 2013 6:20 PM

I have not caught any wild shinies or bred any in W2, but I did finally catch that shiny Haxorus in the Nature Reserve. And I got a great shiny Vulpix bred for me from someone today! It made me happy. :) I did also get a shiny Bagon from the GTS but not sure if it is legit so I haven't trained it yet.
I have had shiny experiences in SoulSilver though. I caught a shiny Manectric in the Safari Zone and accidentally ran from a shiny Rapidash. Also had a shiny Charmander traded to me.
And on Emerald I caught a shiny Trapinch who is now a shiny Flygon and is on SoulSilver.

ggrr June 29th, 2013 10:35 AM

I remember finding my 109th shiny abra...

AcidArmor June 30th, 2013 9:14 PM

I caught a shiny Purrloin an hour into White 2...so far its the only shiny I've encountered to date in the fifth gen.

DothThouEvenHoist? July 3rd, 2013 11:28 PM

I've never gotten a shiny in any Pokemon game ever, but the time will come :)
I've been looking for one in Pokemon Black 2 for a long time now :/

Darkest Shade of Light July 6th, 2013 2:00 PM

On my Pokéballs only challenge for Black 2, I decided to be a bit more suicidal by catching every legendary, in a Pokéball, and shiny. Yeah. Of course, Zekrom wasn't shiny, and I don't think Kyurem can either. If Kyurem can, then I failed. But I got shiny Terrakion, Cobalion, and Virizion, along with a shiny Leavanny, Alomomola, and something else I'm not thinking of :/ Will copy over the save file and take screencaps later

Arlo July 6th, 2013 2:24 PM

I haven't caught any lately, but I haven't played much lately either. I don't hunt for them or anything - I just play the games and find them when I find them. I explore everything and train and evolve a lot of pokemon, so I fight a lot of battles through the course of a game, so I usually find at least one or two along the way.

So far in the fifth gen, I've caught a shiny Audino in Black and a shiny Swadloon (now a Leavanny) in Black 2. The Audino didn't surprise me much - I've fought so many of them that I was sure I'd run into at least one shiny along the way. The Swadloon was kind of cool though - it was entirely by chance, just making my way through Lostlorn Forest.

Emerald_Fire July 6th, 2013 3:30 PM

In Black 2, I have a shiny Tranquil. It's a really high level for its species (Level 46 I think), and it was caught ON THE FIRST TRY with a Quick Ball. If you don't use Quick Balls, you should. I captured many a Pokemon that way. It's not part of my team, as everything is tougher (Except the Heavy Metal Bronzong, which I am training and finding a use for its rare ability. Found in a Grotto!)

Zekrom1066 July 11th, 2013 9:08 PM

Kyurem can be shiny.

The only ones that cannot be shiny are Victini, Reshiram and Zekrom. The game was programmed in a way such that wild Victini, Reshiram and Zekrom can never be shiny.

Ràinbowdàsh July 12th, 2013 6:26 AM

I got a shiny eevee, omastar, hitmontop, mightyena and a female combee ^^

Akatsuki Ten July 15th, 2013 8:37 PM

After nearly three weeks I finally hatched a shiny Shuckle.

Hyzenthlay July 16th, 2013 6:35 AM

I did come across my very first shiny Pokemon in Black 2! It was a Zubat in Castelia City's sewers. I was lucky to catch it before Hugh defeated it, but I was an idiot and forgot to transfer Zubat to my Black file and just deleted the B2 one. :c

Fawx July 17th, 2013 10:23 AM

I haven't gotten any shinies in BW2 yet, tho I am trying to get shiny Eevee with Masuda Method.

KradTone July 17th, 2013 12:14 PM

I hatched a shiny Eevee, Larvesta, and somehow cam across a shiny Deerling (got away/fainted it) and a shiny Vanillite. (caught)

ben96atkinson July 17th, 2013 1:49 PM

I first saw a shiny Ditto, in Cerulean cave when I didn't know what it was, wondered why it was blue... Didn't catch it! Then I came across a shiny Duskull at route 121 and didn't catch it becaus I ran out, dare say I nearly cried. But I have now caught a shiny Duskull and sent it to white 2! It is now a Dusclops, permanent spot in my team. I also have a shiny Cobalion from soft resets. No I don't have a lucky charm, or have never used a shiny helping device.

Boilurn July 17th, 2013 7:08 PM

Wow. It's interesting that some people get emotional over a missed shiny Pokemon.

Anyway, the first thing I'll say is I never found a shiny in my life. I'm at the moment focusing on getting a shiny Dratini, which is available at the White Treehollow.

At the Desert Resort Pokemon outbreak I thought I'd caught a shiny Hippowdon, which was gray instead of yellow, but didn't realize it was the female counterpart.

Just a question: Does any battle subway trainer (Waiters etc.) have shiny Pokemon? I don't know any so far.
