Your First Shiny
Who was the first shiny you guys saw/caught in the 3rd gen games? Mine was a Zubat from Leaf Green in Mt Moon.
|
Golbat in Sapphire I saw it and caught it with my last great ball after it almost knocked out all my pokes... lols and it had a garbage nature. but was a great crobat
|
Never had one in the 3rd Gen, my first and only legit random encounter one was in 4th Gen.
|
My first and only shiny in 3rd gen was a Shiny Spinda who now is on Black 2
|
A Shiny Wingull and a Shiny Electrode (That I couldn't catch)
|
Minun and then soon after that a Wurmple that eventually evolved into a Dustox.
|
I recently replayed Gen 3, and finally met (and caught) my first Gen 3 shiny: a Slowpoke. I'm not doing anything with it yet.
|
I only encountered one shiny in 3rd gen, my 2nd in 4th gen. i was on one of the sevi islands.. i encountered a Shiny Geodude but ran when i was down to 5 Ultra balls left and 1 Pokeball
|
My was Pikachu in Leaf Green :)
|
My first shiny was a Shroomish on Sapphire, which I didn't even realize was shiny. To be quite honest, I don't even remember catching it, but I found it sitting in my first box a few years later before I restarted my game, so I must've caught it right near the beginning. It's now a Breloom that I transferred over to HeartGold.
|
The only shiny I found in gen III was a Whismur, which is my only random shiny I no longer have. I caught it cause I thought it was diseased with its green ears lmao...so yeah. I have two shinies from trades though, Sunkist the Mightyena and Key Lime the Spinda. Both are on my storage Emerald.
|
My first shiny ever was actually on my Ruby: a beautiful red Duskull (one of my favorite ghosts). I spent so much time looking at it, wondering if it was the lighting in the room reflecting on my original GBA that made it look sorta reddish (since I missed the shiny stars). :P Of course I had to catch it, and it eventually became a navy-black Dusknoir when I transferred it to Pearl years later. ^-^
|
A Duskull in Ruby, which was also my first Shiny in any Pokemon game.
I even recall it being female with a Serious nature! |
A Shiny Mightyena on an Emerald ROM. Which is a little sad considering I played Ruby for a long time a few years ago. Oh well. Maybe one day I will buy an actual copy again and play it and find a shiny then.
|
I have found two shiny Zubat (both in Shoal Cave), a shiny Cacnea and a shiny Metagross against a trainer at the battle tower, as well as a shiny Jolteon in the battle pyramid.
|
I've only had one on these games, Poochyena on Emerald. Crystal was the most fruitful for me.
|
From my memory, my first shiny was the Golbat I caught in Unknown Cave last year.
|
After playing Pokemon off and on over the years i have never come across a wild shiny , but did once trade my first lv 100 (chansey) with a red gyarados diamond.
|
My first was a shiny seedot on sapphire. She was also my first ev trained pokemon ever (on diamond). Later she was stolen by someone on these forums *looks around shiftry-ily*, but she's been cloned several times and is now on Black II.
|
Mine was a Pidgey, from one of the first routes I think.
I don't really care for shinies so I restarted that game after I decided I didn't want a team with Bulbasaur and Pidgey (back then I wasn't a big fan of Bulbasaur. Now I prefer them to Charmander). |
I've ran in to two, and one happened today!
The first was a Poochyena, all golden, pretty cool. The second today was a Nidoran in Fire Red. I was wondering about how annoying it may be to encounter one in the Safari Zone and voila. I caught it though. A blue Nidoran male. |
My first shiny was a shiny was a shiny ralts and i was the happiest man alive.
|
My first shiny was Aron. I remember it so well as I had the volume down and was just level grinding early on in the game. I was watching TV and I looked down at the screen and saw an Aron. It was weird because it's eyes were red, but it was female. I thought that it was weird they were red, so I caught it and boom, my first shiny! :D |
First encountered and caught a shiny Oddish today in FireRed while training for the Elite Four. First and only 3rd gen shiny, and second shiny total of all random encounters. I think I'll trade her to SoulSilver and evolve her into a Bellossom.
|
My first was a Tentacool in FR
|
I got super lucky with Kendall, my Shiny Torkoal from Emerald. He was sooooo cool! B)
|
Shiny Rayquaza in Emerald. My second one was a Murkrow in Firered.
|
I got a Poochyena on Emerald or Ruby ROM, can't remember which, but soon after, my save got corrupted so I lost it. :(
|
My first shiny ever was in 3rd gen, and it was a Minun. Unfortunately that play-through was an emulated play through on an unpatched Emerald and as soon as I beat the E4 the save file was gone.
|
I caught a shiny Zigzagoon in route 118. I had no idea why is it different in color.
I didn't know that there were shiny Pokémon. |
Ah, it was Spheal. Wonderful chap.
|
Mine was a shiny Zubat in Meteor Falls when I was 6 years old. I did not know what a shiny Pokemon was at the time so I KOed it :p. The first Shiny I ever caught was a shiny Swablu right outside of meteor falls the next year.
|
I've never had a shiny encounter on ANY pokemon game, my life sucks...
But my brother had 4(!!) shinies on his ruby: a swablu, an exeggute, a Rhyhorn and a wailmer. |
Mine was actually my very first shiny caught, a female lotad on my brother's game. Years later, I transferred it to my Soulsilver game, where she remains, as a Ludicolo.
|
Funnily enough, I've only ever captured three shinies and they were all in Emerald, on the Daycare route (I clearly spent way too much of my time there, haha). My first was an Illumise, followed by a Marill and finally, a Poochyena.
|
My first one was a shiny Tropius in Ruby. It was quite magnificent.
|
lol my first shiny was a Rattata.* o * After finding nothing to do i was walking to all the places and i randomly just felt like going in the Pokemon Mansion and just exploring I got bored and was gonna go out and few steps later BAM a beutiful girl Rattata!* w* Blonde fur...Blue eyes..I was like OMFG and then didint want it to escape so i threw my Master Ball.- w - Screw Mewto i got my shiny blonde girl Rattata.* w * but kinda hated that i rare candied it to lvl 28 T__T Its in my platinum doing nothing. > _ < probaly should EV train it and show it off in a real battle.> w <
|
My first was an Oddish in Emerald, that I killed. In one hit. From my weakest Pokemon. I cried for the rest of the day.
|
I was fishing in order to train my magnemite (which wasn't able to onehit them) -> fished a shiny sharpedo -> tryed to weaken it -> critical hit -> sharpedo fainted -> you serious???
Haven't been finding shinys anymore since that time... |
Shiny Swablu on my way to Meteor Falls (Emerald)
|
The 1st Shiny I ever cam across was on Emerald. You know what is was? YOU KNOW WHAT IT WAS? I GOT A FREAKIN' MAGIKARP!!!! Of ALL the Pokemon, the one shiny I find in the wild, is a MAGIKARP >_> The troll, it hurts.
|
2nd gen, Rattata. Caught the *****, :P
|
My first shiny. Wow, that takes me back... to a couple of hours ago. Yes, I caught my first shiny, literally a few hours before reading this thread. A beautiful little yellow Swablu on my way to Meteor Falls, like 2 others on this thread. Why is everyone going to Meteor Falls? Conspiracy... :paranoid:
|
Never had one. A total of 300 hours across the years AND NOT ONE SHINY!!!!!
|
Ahh, my first shiny.
Been playing Pokemon for years, and I found it while walking around on HeartGold. It was a Rattata. A freaking Rattata. Hahaha, I was kinda pissed, but also, it was my first shiny, too. But then I got a shiny Mudkip from Prof. Birch one time. That was fun. |
On Sapphire I caught a shiny Electrike. My gameboy died as I was saving. Corrupted file, dead shiny. :(
|

|
mine was a shiny barboach i caught on meteor falls. i loved it and still in my emerald game, now a whiscash..:D
|
I've never found a shiny in my Gen III games D: Though I did try and soft reset for a Shiny Torchic a long time ago, only recently did I find out that the RNG in it was broken so it was literally impossible to do so unless you were really lucky.
|
Female Mankey in firered, I was rather disappointed to be honest
|
The first shiny I ever came across was a shiny Swablu in Ruby. I wanted it so bad but when I tried to weaken it, my pokemon used a critical move and wiped it out in one shot ><
However, in LeafGreen I found a shiny Venemoth that I caught :> |
1st and only non-legendary shiny was ponyta on fire red, quite happy when I caught a ponyta with blue flames.
|
my first saw was goldeen in safari zone in Emerald... when I was a kid. my stupidity didnt know what shiny is back then, i just saw a shining powder thingy, and i run. same i did to shiny wingull :(
|
I can said than I chosen one... My First Shiny is Shiny Regice. Yes... I found that in Pokemon Ruby. I was suprised that my first shiny been legendary Pokemon.
|
I still don't have any shinies in gen 3. The only shiny I've ever had is the shiny pichu I hatched in crystal last summer.
|
Mine was a shiny Oddish caught before i reacher fortree. :)
|
Shiny Tangela at Route 21 in FireRed, while I was traveling from Cinnabar Island to Pallet Town after defeating 7th gym. It was actually my first encounter of Pokémon on this route - and it was shiny :). I had good Pokémons, and I didn't wanted to risk fainting because of critical hit (I hate critical hits when catching wild Pokémons), so I simply poisoned it, and threw Ultra Balls. The second throw catched it. Too bad it was in ROM version, not on my actual cartridge, but still.
|
My first shiny was a poocheyena. At the time I didn't know what a shiny was so I knocked it out.
|
In the 3rd gen my first shiny was a red Zigzagoon <:
|
Shiny Spinda in Pokémon Ruby but I couldn't catch it cause I wasteted all my PokeBalls on a Skarmory I didn't even use :(
|
The first Shiny Pokemon I saw was an Oddish. Unfortunately, because I was at the tender age of five at the time, I didn't realise that it was so rare, and so I fainted it, just like I would have any other Pokemon. It was only three years later, when I worked out what the hell Shiny Pokemon were, that I realised what I had done...
|
Natu on Emerald! I was so amazed that I caught it I instantly trained it up and put it on my team haha...
|
I caught a shiny seedot in ruby
|
My very first shiny on FireRed was a shiny Caterpie caught in Viridian Forest. In leafgreen I did not managed to capture a shiny geodude because I only have 1 pokeball left T_T
While I managed to capture a shiny zubat in Ruby and a shiny tentacool in Emerald. |
My first Shiny was a Shiny Regirock, I was in so much shock, and was able to capture it. :)
This was in Pokemon Emerald by the way. |
Black Rayquaza emerald, took 5 hours of soft resetting
|
My first ever true shiny that I didn't hack, receive from storyline or otherwise even look for occurred in Generation 3. It was a Shiny Spinda in Emerald, and I named her "Emerald" :3
|
Abra.
I bought him from the slot machine place. |
My first shiny was on my Sapphire game. It was an awesome looking Electrike, at first I was like wait he's not blue? Lol I then realized what had happened and was ecstatic :)
|
I have never found a shiny that I can remember. :(
|
First was a shiny Lotad that i evolved into Ludicolo
Then a Shroomish => Breloom Oddish => Vileplume Gulpin => Swalot and my newest is Beldum => Metagross (the only one i still have) |
My first in gen 3 was cacnea i didn't figue out what it was. 2nd was wurmple and 3rd was swellow. just luckly i guess.
also got buizel and victreebell in diamond. -Boysenberry |
I think it was my Spinda in Sapphire Version. That or Oddish, I'm not sure. I caught like over half a dozen shinies in Gen III though so it was a lucky gen for me :p |
Leaf Green, Primeape, Victory Road.
|
Never caught a shiny. Only seen one ever, which was on my friends Fire Red. A shiny marrowak. He actually made me believe you had to have played more than 400 hours. I passed the 450 hours played on Leaf Green without ever seeing a shiny.
Wait. There was once a time I saw a shiny in my own game. I had started a new Leaf Green save game for teh lulz (without saving ofc), got to the point where you meet the old man who teaches you how to catch a pokémon and I kid you not, the weedle was a shiny weedle... Or at least it seemed shiny o_o |
I've been fortunate enough to encounter quite a number of shiny Pokemon on my Fire Red saved file:
Skarmory on Seven Island Tentacool in Icefall Cave Electrode in Cerulean Cave Rhyhorn in the Safari Zone In Leaf Green, I caught a shiny Bellsprout on Route 15 and a shiny Geodude in Mt. Ember. In Emerald, the only shiny I've ever encountered and failed to capture is a shiny Rhyhorn in Hoenn's Safari Zone (about a month after I caught my shiny Rhyhorn in the Fuchsia Safari Zone). |
My first Gen 3 shiny was a Fearow from Route 23 on an old playthrough of FireRed. It was back in 2005... I think.
|
I happened to stumble upon a shiny Meowth in my Pokemon Fire Red, and although Persian's shiny is lacking uniqueness, a shiny is a shiny.
|
My first shiny was a Ralts. God, I loved that thing, y'know. {<3}
|
Whismur in Sapphire. I caught it right when I got to the cave where they first appeared, though sadly I don't have mine anymore. D:
|
This is what my brother said on YT
Well, after 10 years of hardcore-pokemon my little brother was finaly alowed to play on my save for once. After 2 minutes he asked what was wrong with a pokemon if it sparkles and had a different collor. I freaked out, he found a shiny growlithe , I named it sunshine B). |
Haven't run into a shiny on Gen III yet- they all were on other generations (V and IV).
|
My first shiny was a Pidgey. c: Had one Pokéball, it luckily worked. I'd have quit life it hadn't.
|
My first Shiny Pokémon on Gen. Three was a Trapinch on Emerald. :) It follows me on HeartGold as a Flygon now.
|
Never found a shiny. Not. At. All. In any pokemon game. Pokémon hate me. I've been playing the games for 13 years now too.
|
my first shiny was a Zigzagoon in sapphire, right in the beginning.. i caught it too :D
|
i only saw one shiny in gen3. it was in Pokemon Emerald. It was a zigzagoon, but i CANT catch it because it was the one that was chasing Prof Birch at the beginning of the game, and obviously i have no pokeball that time.
|
Lolz Mines was a geodude, in MT.MOON?!?>!?!
|
My first Shiny was a red Duskull on Ruby on the Route west of Lilycove, beside the Safari Zone (can't remember what number it was haha). I thought it was so cool and immediately caught it but was too lazy to train it and thinking it was nothing special traded it to my friend for a Cyndaquil egg. I got it back as a Dusclops in it's seventies and boy it was good. However my friend saved over my Emerald game losing it. I was so upset at the time haha.
|
Mine was a Sunkern that I caught in the Safari Zone. Not the best shiny, but it was my first one ever and i was pretty excited about it. Caught it on the first try too!
|
i have never caught a shiny pokemon before lol :D i dont know why :D
|
|
I've never caught or seen a shiny pokemon in the 3rd gen games. unfortunately. :((((
|
In emerald: Wurmple -_-
Firered: Pidgey in route 1 before obtaining pokeballs. I only cried for six hours after that. |
My First Shiny in Ruby was Poochyena
In Leaf Green my first was a Zubat xD |
my first shiny i've ever seen was a Graveler on Victory Road (when using rock smash) in Emerald and he used Selfdestruct or Explosion (don't remember which)
The only shiny i've ever caught was Sentret in Leaf Green |
Tentacool :D i found it while fishing
|
My first ever shiny was a Ponyta in Leafgreen on One Island (iirc). It's probably the coolest shiny that I've ever caught/hatched on my own along with my shiny Eevee.
|
I might have seen a shiny Oddish on one of my many playthroughs of a 3rd Gen game, but I sure didn't capture it.
|
I have never seen a single shiny in my Gen III games. Mostly because I have bad luck and the RNG is broken in it so soft resetting never worked ;.; All those wasted hours trying to get a Shiny starter or Raquaza >.<
