I don't think I have ever encountered a shiny in GSC besides the obvious Gyarados. Honestly I can probably count with one hand how many shinies I have encountered in all of my pokemon games.

Shayminlover123 February 17th, 2013 4:27 AM

Nope. Gyarados wouldn't count either.

The second Pokemon I ever encountered in Silver was a shiny Hoothoot. This was during the very beginning of the game when you don't have access to Pokeballs yet, so it killed me inside when I was forced to defeat it. :(
I think that was the only shiny I've encountered in Johto.

BlueShellBeast February 17th, 2013 7:55 PM

I have encountered both a shiny Stantler (Gold) and a Snubble (Crystal), however, those two times were both on emulators...

HappyGaylord February 18th, 2013 6:48 AM

I think I had a shiny Zubat(That I eventually evolved into a Crobat). : )

AtecainCorp. February 18th, 2013 9:28 AM

I often find in Pokemon Gold a SHINY ZUBAT... Also I often find a Shiny Murkrow. My Brother often hook in to good rod a Shiny Corsola XD

GoldXD February 18th, 2013 9:35 AM

Poliwag and Raikou in Pokemon Silver.

The Amazing Justin February 18th, 2013 9:42 AM

Not a single time. Annoyingly.

soulryu February 18th, 2013 9:58 AM

From what I remember I found a shiny Tentacool and Tentacruel around kanto but I didn't catch them so dumb I was back then :P

Isseubnida February 18th, 2013 11:43 AM

Just the Gyarados. I'm trying for a shiny with the Egg.

11wildy February 18th, 2013 12:10 PM

Yes I did, a shiny pidgey, which corrupted my game. Then a shiny Geodude, now a Graveler, still on my crystal game. And a Tentacool on my hack of Pokemon crystal, while playing on an emulator.

Apart from Red Gyarados, I only encountered a Shiny once. I don't remember exactly which Pokémon it was, but it was south of Ecruteak City, but I didn't catch it, partly because I didn't really know what the "clickclickclickclickclick" sound was all about, and I didn't notice an all-that-different coloration either.

I got a Shiny Ditto in Pokemon Crystal (not from the Red Gyarados transfer to RBY glitch). Anyways, I named it Shiny and I use it from breeding now.

twistedpuppy February 19th, 2013 7:36 PM

Besides Red Gyarados? Nope. ;-;
I've never been lucky when it comes to random shinies, but I have had friends lucky enough to find them. I remember using a cloning glitch to clone a friend's shiny Pichu.

Elaitenstile February 21st, 2013 4:09 AM

Only Gyarados. Nobody else. Not even met one. So sad. (Once got Pokérus, though)

Aryan143 February 21st, 2013 7:39 AM

Yes I found a shiny Hoothoot on gold on the route where there is the daycare center. I was completely amazed to see that shiny although I didn't used it because it is such a weak pokemon. And besides that, there is always the red Gyarados.

ANTONIOLI65 February 21st, 2013 11:15 AM

I found a Tentacool once, I didn't know anything about shinys so I turned my gbc off, because i thought my game was broken lol.

pallando February 25th, 2013 11:40 AM

Just recently I found a shiny Parasect in Mt. Silver, the first shiny that I ever encountered (and I've been playing this game ever since it came out^^).

Napsy February 25th, 2013 9:58 PM

YES! My very first shiny was found in Crystal! It was a shiny Wooper!
I remember finding it and being really weirded out by it, I had thought it was a glitch but I caught it anyways. I was like "Oh It's... PINK. A PINK WOOPER"

I found most of my shinies on Pokemon Emerald however. I had encountered at least 3 or 4.

mikey February 26th, 2013 6:28 AM

I encountered my first shiny ever in my Silver Version. It was a Hoot-Hoot, but unfortunately, I defeated it D: I always remembered that. I haven't seen any since :/ (Legit anyway).

curiousnathan February 27th, 2013 10:49 PM

Yep! I encountered my first ever shiny Pokemon in GSC; that being a shiny Swinub. <3

Skylar97 March 2nd, 2013 8:04 PM

besides red Gyarados i found a shiny rattata. but had not a single pokeball

TouchemonLearner March 3rd, 2013 10:30 AM

I've never encountered a Shiny and I didn't even know they existed until a couple of years ago when I stumbled on the Bulbapedia page.

haxorusraxorus March 5th, 2013 10:22 AM

The only shiny I have ever encountered in my 244 hour reign of Pokemon Crystal is the Lake of Rage Gyrados.
I think that the world just hates me.

Munchlax11 March 5th, 2013 10:54 AM

I found a shiny sentret early in the game, shortly after I got pokeballs :D
