What has your luckiest catch been so far?
 
What has been your luckiest, most fortunate, or simply the catch you were hoping the most for? Did you struggle for hours until you finally got what you were looking for, or did you stumple upon something you weren't expecting? Share your stories!

For me, I got just went onto route 5 for the first time today, within 6 or 7 battles I happened to find the one and only Abra I have seen on the route at all. It happened to not only be modest but also was holding a twisted spoon! I was pretty excited about that one

I got a 5iv jolly ditto in a friend safari.

I got Mewtwo in a pokeball at full health if that counts?

I bought Y after I played through X.

I was sitting in a restaurant with my fiance (James on here) trolling around on route 8 and I ran into a hoarde of Wingull with one shiny. Now, Wingull wouldn't be my first choice, but I was pretty excited since this was my first WILD shiny. I've bred and traded for them before, but never encountered one wild! So that was pretty exciting. I then proceded to celebrate with my chicken fingers and fries.

After I went and beat the champ in pokemon X, I went and caught Mewtwo. When I threw the Duskball, it shook once and was captured. Was the best thing I had ever experienced.

Catching an Abra is ALWAYS the luckiest catch.

I was trying to expand my Pokedex, and so I went to smash for fossils in Glitter Cave. I come back with an old amber, thinking it was nothing, since I had revived a dozen of those already. Turns out to be a shiny Aerodactyl. I named him Spyro.


Right now, he (unless it was a girl) is in the safe hands of my girlfriend's X version. Who knows what she's doing with it now.

Three shiny Pokemon in the FC. Krabby, Palitiad and a modest Piloswine. Still need advice on what to do with the Piloswine :(

James December 6th, 2013 8:49 AM

Hmmmm, for me it would have to be a toss up between Catching all the legendary's with pokeballs, or catching my very first shiny ever in a fraxure friend safari. Probably lean more towards the Fraxure.

4iv female shiny snubbull in friend safari. she looks so badass :3
too bad:the Timid nature

Guy December 6th, 2013 11:14 AM

I haven't checked the IVs off of any of the Pokémon I caught in the wild and I've had no rare encounters with any wild shinies. I can't say my luckiest catches so far have been anything to write home about. I am, however, particularly proud of the Adamant Honedge I caught during the main playthrough (of which I'll be EV training) and finding a wild Carbink considering its rarity in the games.

Howmander December 6th, 2013 1:32 PM

Forget my Abra, I JUST caught a shiny Furfrou! Today was a great day for catching pokemon!

Hiatus December 6th, 2013 3:37 PM

I've managed to encounter a shiny Litleo approximately two months ago on Route 22, and managed to catch it instantly with an Ultra Ball. This Pokémon's got Timid nature, which is good—it takes away a bit of its Attack stat to help improve its Speed. I encountered another shiny Litleo in the beginning of the game at the same, exact location, but couldn't catch that one as I accidentally made it faint while trying to weaken it. Anyway, other than this, I don't really have any other lucky catches.

MidknightBlu December 6th, 2013 3:43 PM

The shiny Swinub I found back in my first playthrough of Crystal! Literally took one step into Ice Path (cave before Blackthorn City) and there she was! :D

TheBigMan0706 December 6th, 2013 5:37 PM

The luckiest catch i had was my most recent. I haven't play Pokemon Y for some time, so I decided to screw around in a dark Friend Safari. Lo and behold, the first encounter was a shiny Sandile! I caught the little ***** with an ultra ball, and she's a new member on my team. Also, she has a Brave Nature

Gengarism December 6th, 2013 6:44 PM

My 1st try on Yveltal with great ball = success.
Also I accidentally walked into the side of a field and the 2nd grass patch gave me a Shiny Ursaring. Shame it was Timid, so I traded it just for someone with a Ditto safari to add me :)

Really? Thats a one lucky shot. {:3}
But nearly unbelievable though. :)

Arceus1210 December 7th, 2013 3:41 AM

Caught all legendary pokemon with regular pokeballs!!! Shear luck

bartyboy6 December 7th, 2013 4:05 AM

random shiny tentacool. 'nuff said.

Andrut December 7th, 2013 4:10 AM

I was chaining and after 3 or 4 chains I got a shiny Hawlucha. It's my first shiny in Y so far.

IcePrincess December 8th, 2013 11:17 AM

Caught Mewtwo yesterday with 3 Ultra Balls! Half health too woo!

VAHZZ December 8th, 2013 11:39 AM

Catching a shiny Quiladin in 1 quick ball in a friend safari.

Fitzsy December 8th, 2013 11:13 PM

Shiny Poliwhirl caught with a Critical Capture, what are the odds of that? Like that's not even rhetorical, I'd calculate the odds myself but I'm too stupid for math!

Loner_grunger December 8th, 2013 11:34 PM

A shiny Espurr that appeared on the FS my nephew's FC opened while I was looking for an abra. It had 31 iv in atk and spd, I still happy and it's been weeks now :)
