.:batto:. August 4th, 2013 4:32 AM

Ive encountered one on my own game. Besides an emulator. It was in Pokemon Silver. I know that this is about the III Gen. But yeah. It was a Golbat. I knew there was something different about him but i only had my masterball and i didn't to waste it. Stupid i know. But i was like 12.

My first (and only) shiny encounter was a Zigzagoon on Emerald right after you get your starter. So naturally, I got really excited only to find I didn't have any Pokéballs yet. I was extremely disappointed.

Spack August 4th, 2013 5:40 AM

My first was a shiny Swablu. Then another shiny Swablu on the next playthrough. I also had a shiny Poochyena back in the day. My only other shiny is Misdreavus in Soul Silver.

My very first shiny was in Ruby back when i was in 7th grade, maybe. It was a Marril. I didnt know what shinies were at the time, so when a green Marril popped up i was like "WHAT?" and i tried to catch it like crazy, i dont remember if i actually succeeded...

PureAurorae August 4th, 2013 8:05 AM

First I saw was probably Geodude on Emerald. That was about 7 orso years ago. It used self- destruct I believe.

The first I caught was a Ponyta on my FireRed version, and after around 5 years, I still have it.

Aeroblast August 4th, 2013 8:08 AM

I also remember a shiny Aipom in Safari zone. It ran away after first Safari ball and I broke my DS Phat that day out of anger if I remember. Truly one of the worst days of my life, all because of some programming troll.

xZSx Venom August 4th, 2013 8:57 AM

my first shiny was actually a sandshrew in gen 3

Paperhat545 August 4th, 2013 9:02 AM

My first shiny Pokémon was a Spearow in LeafGreen. I evolved it into a Fearow, and life was good. On a playthrough of FireRed, I caught a shiny Geodude in Mt. Moon. I don't have either of the files anymore, though -_-

Bladewing August 27th, 2013 4:38 AM

First shiny ever was a Ponyta in Mt. Ember in Firered.
I accidentaly the K.O.

The first one I caught on the other hand was a Voltorb in Emerald.
It was not quite as impressive looking.

Precious Tears August 27th, 2013 6:08 AM

My first shiny was a Pidgey from my brother's LeafGreen,
I said my because when I was borrowing his game, I was the one who encountered it!

FraxureGames September 1st, 2013 5:20 PM

My first shiny was a Golbat in HG, but my first (and only) shiny I've encountered in gen 3 was a Loudred. I tried to use it to calculate my secret i.d., and thus perform RNG manipulation, but I wasn't able to.

franko94 September 2nd, 2013 1:46 PM

My first in Gen III was a Relicanth. My sister erased the save file before I could transfer it.

Hiatus September 2nd, 2013 6:03 PM

I... actually don't remember. xD Maybe it was an Onix which I encountered on my way to Lavender Town through the Rock Tunnel. Either that, or it could've been a Heracross from the Safari Zone of Pokémon Emerald. I wasn't able to catch either of them, unfortunately. I didn't have any Poké Balls with me to catch the first one, and the second one ran away from me as soon as I tripped over it.

Umbreonz September 4th, 2013 7:33 PM

mine was a shiny trapinch it became flygon pretty badass... too bad my sapphire versions glitched and deleted my save data when i tried to transfer it to diamond...

Magic Magikarp September 5th, 2013 9:19 AM

Hm, I had a shiny onix get away from me in Black 2 so I went to play some Emerald and I found a shiny Illumise /).- can't complain its shiny. Then later on I actually found a shiny Spheal which I used on my team later on.

Colfer September 5th, 2013 10:11 AM

My first shiny was an abra, thank god for the great ball I got in the forest and helping the guy get his documents back.

Negix September 5th, 2013 11:06 AM

My first shiny was a cacnea on Ruby. I played the game when it came out but killed it because I knew nothing of shinies at that time. Next came a shiny trapinch on saphire but after I captured it, batteries went dead. At this time, I couldn't help but rage on my gba. And recently while playing Emerald I got a shiny tentacool.

Falsever September 7th, 2013 1:51 AM

If you say in 3rd Generation games, it's Tentacool.
I was going to Dewford Town and boom! It appeared.
I've caught it using a Poké Ball and it worked. :D
I don't use it though, I stored it into the PC as a collection.

Orifiel September 7th, 2013 2:15 AM

My first shiny while Playing Pokemon Emerald in my GBA.
Through 2.081 resets, shiny Ralts appeared. It was so beautiful
and Cute. I cherished Ralts ever since I caught her.

Tsutarja September 7th, 2013 6:01 AM

In all the years I've owned games from the 3rd Generation, I have never encountered a shiny Pokémon at all {D:} although I have never tried RNGing either or let alone soft-resetting..

AkameTheBulbasaur September 7th, 2013 10:27 AM

My first shiny in a third gen game was a shiny groudon. I was about to catch it when my gba died. When I finally got to it again, it wasn't shiny anymore. : (

Ari Niko September 28th, 2013 9:08 PM

My first shiny in any Pokémon game was a Geodude in Pokémon Diamond. Coincidentally, my second shiny was a Geodude in Emerald.

Endless_Void October 14th, 2013 4:05 AM

I got a Shiny Magikarp in FR and a Shiny Numel in Emerald! :D

Abhishek October 14th, 2013 8:09 AM

I got a shiny Golbat at Victory road as i was training my Poke's
