My first shiny in Ruby was a Numel, and then a Wingull in Emerald =^-^=

Shiny Zubat all the way. I found it in Dewford Cave.

In the third generation, all I saw was a Shiny Zigzagoon Lv2-4ish. And I saw it faint after an automatic response way-too-strong attack;-;

Bidoof Overlord October 17th, 2013 9:54 PM

Wow, Shiny Zubats and Tentacools everywhere.
Mine, was a shiny Swablu. It turned into a wonderful shiny Altaria, but then...
MY SAVE FILE CORRUPTED.
Well, Pokemon Diamond was best, I got 3 shiny's without PokeRadar. 7 if you count trading.
Shiny list:
Swablu - first time (Fake Ruby)
Aron - (Sapphire - turned to Aggron later)
Zubat - (Diamond - turned to Crobat later)
Bronzor - (seriously one day after I got the Zubat)
Ratatta - (top percentage)
-----
Celebi - (traded event from SoulSilver)
Bagon - (my brother hatched an egg and lo, it's a shiny Bagon!)
Gyarados - (no explanation needed)
something else which I kind of forgot.

First shiny was, believe it or not, a shiny moltres. Like what the hell? Out of everything possible, I get the moltres. Best luck I've had

If I remember correctly my first shiny in Gen 3 was a Voltorb. It was blue instead of red, which was pretty badass. Didn't ever use it though.

Condroid 2.0 October 21st, 2013 7:02 PM

First gen. 3 shiny for me was a Swablu in Ruby. Funny thing is, I caught her while looking for a shiny Zangoose...

MarioManH October 21st, 2013 7:52 PM

Well it was quite an interesting story.

Back in the day when I didn't really know much about shinies and such, I encountered a Shiny Numel. Now, my cousin (Who's a very "hardcore" Pokemon player) was with me at the time. I told him "Woah, a water type Numel, IT'S GONNA DIE) . My cousin was all "Dude what the heck are you talking about? " . He took my game and stared at it for about a minute and told me too catch it. Once I caught it he offered me a Groudon. Now, at that time to me, Legendaries were just A+ material to me, and having a second Groudon just made my jaw drop. Now too this day, even though he cloned it many times over with this Action Replay (During 4th Gen) , he refuses to give me a Numel (Which is now a Camerupt) .

My first shiny in the third generation was a wingull. I was playing Ruby and had been playing for only twenty minutes.

Draninus November 2nd, 2013 6:49 AM

I've been playing these games on and off since Generation I was released and I have yet to encounter a shiny Pokemon in any generation. Admittedly I haven't played the recent generations as much, which from what I understand it's easier to catch shiny Pokemon in the later generations.

I've recently resumed playing the Gen III series of games. I'll definitely update this post if I catch a shiny Pokemon.

amerininja November 2nd, 2013 7:17 AM

I have found two the first time it was in Ruby. It was a trapinch I didnt know what a shiny was so I thought my cartridge had broke and I reset my system and didnt encounter another shiny untill I caught a shiny heatran i had never seen oneso i just assumed it was normal untill my friend flipped outaboutit. lol

Pave Low November 2nd, 2013 9:16 AM

Shiny Aron in Emerald. The funny thing is it was the first Pokemon I encountered in Dewford, I was so happy but I didn't end up using it because it was not a legal Pokemon to use in my fighting monotype...sad times.

Charizard17 November 2nd, 2013 9:24 AM

I caught my first shiny in my brother's Sapphire game. It was a shiny Lotad. I traded it into my game later, and traded another Lotad in return. I wonder if he ever noticed anything.

Lolman112 November 6th, 2013 4:08 AM

To be honest I never got a shiny pokemon before. Even though I had 240 hours on emerald. I even didn't meet Latias/Latios.

Yoshi119 November 7th, 2013 2:36 AM

Weedle in Leafgreen :/ My cousin was playing it, and I was in the other room. Then I heard him shouting, "Abby, why is the spike purple!?" and I went and was like "HOLLLLLLYGOSGMRPHINMBNS;RH;NBFS;RH" and I caught it. Not the coolest shiny ever, but I was excited.

Terff November 8th, 2013 1:19 PM

Well I was replaying emerald and I caught a poochyena and later a red gyarados

RimasLT November 9th, 2013 3:42 AM

Orange striped Zigzagoon ( F ) but in a hack

Sniper November 9th, 2013 3:45 AM

S-sad.. to say b-but it was w-w-wurmple! lol

SidDays November 9th, 2013 7:33 AM

It was a Meowth in LeafGreen. I will always hate myself for forgetting to save, it was the only shiny I've ever encountered :'(

Thief November 9th, 2013 8:26 AM

My first Shiny ever was in Emerald, about 7 or 8 years ago, just outside Fortree to the right in the big patch of grass; a male Poochyena who I nicknamed GOLDWONDER. Trainer was a guy called DACTYL at the time (I used to prefer using the male protag and Aerodactyl was the first thing I thought of to inspire a name at the time xD).

I still have him as a Mightyena, all this time later, as I bring him with me across each gen. <3 Best part is, Mightyena is my favourite Pokémon, and I don't like having female Pokémon. Not to mention there's no such thing as shiny hunting in RSE, it was all down to random encounters. Yet I still got him. <3

TouretteUnicorn November 9th, 2013 9:41 AM

My first was Rayquaza in Emerald.

I forgot to buy poke balls before I reached it..

luple November 11th, 2013 4:43 PM

My first shiny was a male gulpin I begged my cousin to trade to me from his Ruby version. I still have him, and he currently resides in my copy of HG. I haven't caught any other shiny Pokemon in a gen 3 game, but I did encounter a shiny pidgeotto on one of the sevii islands in LG and accidentally KO'd it...

UltraWing November 11th, 2013 6:50 PM

my 1st shiny in gen 3 is a kabuto from fire red.... best kabutops ever

Loner_grunger November 16th, 2013 2:20 PM

Ah my first shiny in III gen was a swalot on a ruby a friend had lent me. I thought I was gonna have a heart attack from the emotion. I was also the first "real" shiny I captured( as red gyarados from gold didnt count and I couldnt catch a shiny spinarak back then). I also got a shiny wooper on my firered. It was like 7-8 years ago... nowadays... turns out that I gave my diamond where they were to my nephew, he exchanged the game card and when he got it back...no more shinies... I only cried three days X'''D
