Caught a shiny Yamash in a quick ball, named her Cleopatra. Also got a salamence in the GTS, and a Scyther that I found in Platinum was later transferred.

No, unfortunately not in BW2. While I was training in BW though, I did find a shiny zigzagoon, but I killed it. :(

In Diamond, I hatched a shiny squirtle. I was so happy, I don't know why in the world I traded it!

Only shinies I ever encountered were in Gold, found a shiny Ryhorn in victory road had no idea what it was so I ran away ;~;. I also found a shiny Psyduck in the safari zone on my ruby game!.. but other than that, nope. :c

Riolucario11 July 26th, 2013 1:20 PM

The only shinies I've found was a shiny Feebas, which I was hugely stoked about, that I transferred to my BW team later on (totally forgot which game I had found it in .3.").

The other one I've found was a shiny Meinshao, which I killed with one hit, thanks to my glorious Chandelure...Wasn't that glorious of a moment.

Holy crap Feebas!? Luckyyy! ;o

Forgot to mention that I did have a Shiny Noctowl in my Silver version too... After I realised that shiny Pokémon were good... and not glitches ahahah!

NONE

POKEMON HATES ME

...I did get a shiny Magmar once on the GTS, but no way to conform if that was legit or not...

hughes July 27th, 2013 7:45 PM

Very excited to say that I got my first RE shiny yesterday on Black 2! It was a lv 55 Audino, and it pretty much snuck up on me since I didn't have the sound on and I wasn't looking at the screen when it appeared. Luckily had my Watchog in my party and it didn't use Double-edge, so I was able to catch it easily. I'm so glad to have caught my own shiny, but I'm not sure how I'm going to use him yet.

Infinite Latios July 27th, 2013 9:42 PM

Just today, I obtained a Shiny Altaria via the GTS. Altaria is beautiful when it's shiny. And it's one of my favorite Dragon-types too. All it cost was one Ninetales. Or was it Rhyperior...? I like trading away pokemon I get on the GTS for better ones, but Altaria is a keeper.

Found a shiny Horsea today! Now just to evolve it to a Kingdra.

Water Gym Leader August 5th, 2013 11:18 AM

I found a shiny Purrloin lv.9 caught it in an Ultra Ball and evolved it into Liepard and i love the red color.http://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/pokemon/509.pnghttp://www.serebii.net/Shiny/BW/509.pnghttp://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/pokemon/510.pnghttp://www.serebii.net/Shiny/BW/510.png

Sempiternal August 5th, 2013 12:56 PM

Never had the chance to catch a shiny <:

Therizinosaurus August 7th, 2013 12:48 AM

nothing in black 2, but I recently bought white and not only caught pokerus off some wild pokemon but found a shiny karrablast. evolved it into escavalier and called it Pinkie. the only problem is that its stats aren't the best, and a 31 IV in speed isn't that good when your base speed is 20

Akatsuki Ten August 8th, 2013 1:51 PM

Just caught a shiny Feebas and evolved it to Milotic! My luck is coming back! Hopefully I can find a shiny Absol to transfer to X for the new MegaAbsol.

Grimwohl August 9th, 2013 11:05 AM

Found my a shiny slowpoke in my first month of playing.

Psyzav August 10th, 2013 8:38 AM

Finding a shiny Pokemon in gen 5 is nearly impossible for me... To put it into perspective I got the Pokerus before I found a shiny.

*Icecold* August 10th, 2013 10:55 AM

In Black/White I found a shiny Audino. (It's purple!!)

In Black 2/White 2 I found another shiny Audino.

Shinies aren't even that big of a deal to me anymore... They're just different-looking.

Out of pure curiosity, were you looking to catch in Audino in both games or was it just pure luck that you encountered two Audino's that were both shiny just walking through the grass. Interesting though, nice find.

Personofsecrets August 10th, 2013 10:12 PM

Have the odds of getting a shiny stayed the same across all of the games?

Yes and no. To begin with, without hatching or acquiring the shiny charm, the chances are the same as all other games with a 1 out of 8192 chance. There is a method that has been introduced in prior games however called the Masuda Method (only from D/P and so on) when hatching which involves getting two Pokemon from completely different countries that somehow increase the odds of hatching a shiny to 3 out of 4096. The shiny charm, only introduced in BW2, increases the chances of finding a shiny to 1 out of 2730.

Shiny Gible and Shiny Dratini are gifts from beating Alder's grandson.

LOL my friend used action replay for all shinies and then she got so tired of them so fast

Akatsuki Ten August 11th, 2013 2:11 PM

Pelipper. I'm just going to start listing what I find.

MechVenom August 12th, 2013 1:27 AM

I Never find shinies in any game

Psyzav August 13th, 2013 9:05 AM

The other day posting on this thread saying how I was yet to find a shiny Pokemon in gen 5 actually changed today! I was trying to breed Charmanders to create an absolute beast of a Charizard. Timid nature, and maxed out EVs and perfect IVs for the timid nature. However during my conquest in doing so I hatched a shiny Charmander! It was a good surprise!

Lucky1Yena August 13th, 2013 10:18 AM

I haven't seen any shinies since a Mightyena in Sapphire (which went missing).

In fact, in all my years playing, I've only seen 3 shiny Pokémon (excluding the red gyarados in Johto).

Aside from the rareness factor though, are there really any differences between shiny and non-shiny Pokémon?

Pendraflare August 14th, 2013 10:25 AM

For starters, there's the shiny Haxorus. Not long after I fully completed my Unova Dex back in November, I went to the Nature Preserve and brought my Synchronizer. First attempt at catching it was female with Mold Breaker. One Quick Ball, and it was mine. Even better, Adamant nature with 30 HP IV, 31 Attack and 29 Defense. While it's general fare, I think that was a pretty good pull.

I completed the National Pokédex and got the Shiny Charm back in May. First shiny i've found since getting it was a Petilil while I was EV training my new Nidoking in Victory Road a few weeks ago. It was in a double battle with a Roselia. I would have liked if it was the Roselia that was shiny, since Roserade is one of my favorite Pokémon, but hey, i'll take it.
