Shinies!
So this thread is for your catched (or killed :D) shiny pokemon. I recently started Soulsilver and softresetted something like 400-500 times and got shiny chikorita. Now im trying to get a shiny magikarp, i've encountered 130 magikarps already and none of them has been shiny yet..
|
The total amount of shinies I've managed to get my hands on in fourth generation games is about fifteen, I think. If you exclude shiny Gyarados (I've had two--one in HG and the other in SS), then it should be somewhere around thirteen. Out of the ones I've caught, my most favorite would have to be shiny Metagross.
|
The first Shiny I ever saw in Soulsilver was a Magikarp! Unfortunately, I made it faint ;n;
Aside from the Shiny Gyarados, I was able to catch a Shiny Grimer, and TODAY, a shiny Abra! I'm so happy about the Abra because I planned to get an Abra for my team, so finding this lil guy was absolutely awesome! =w= |
I don't think I have caught a shiny Pokemon other than shiny Gyarados in any of the Fourth Generation of games, unfortunately. :C
|
Everyone's talking about Shinies from HG/SS.
Mann, my first ever shiny was a shiny Kricketune in Diamond. |
I only have two.
Gyarados from HGSS, and Giratina from Platinum. |
I have a tons of shiny on gen.4 :D
Platinum:Giratina(It took me 5 days before getting this baby),Uxie(3 days for this one),Psyduck,Electivire,Gallade,Bidoof,Starly,Riolu,Budew and zubat HG:Gyarados (Red gyarados ftw) Hoothoot,Zubat,rattata,Aipom,Tailow and pinsir. And yes they are legit |
I have collected 3 shinies on my brother's Diamond - a Graveler, Budew and U-form Unown.
And also I have 3 more on my SoulSilver - a Farfetch'd, another Graveler and also the obvious Red Gyarados from the Lake of Rage. 4th Gen was quite generous to me in terms of shinies even though I recently obtained 3 shinies in quite short time in X. |
Other then the red gyarados (which I don't really count), I only caught one shiny and that was a lvl 22(?) staravia in my diamond.
|
In peral I caught an Shiny bidoof/Snesal and Zubat.
In SoulSivler I did not catch any. |
Well, I managed to obtain a Shiny Ponyta (Rapidash) in my Pokemon Diamond game and a Shiny Staravia (Staraptor) and Shinx (Luxray) in Pokemon Platinum :)
In HeartGold I caught a Shiny Zubat (Crobat), Graveler (Victory Road rofl), Tentacool (Tentacruel) and Hoothoot (Noctowl). Since I was quite young at the time I never took the Pokeradar seriously in the Gen.4 games, now that I'm older (and currently am an active shiny hunter in my Pokemon X game) I might give the PokeRadar a shot in Platinum sometime too! :) |
Let's see…here are all the shiny Pokémon I can name that i've found in Generation IV.
Fearow (Pearl, Route 225 I think, October 2007) Golbat (Platinum, Stark Mountain, May 2009) Kyogre (Heart Gold, Embedded Tower, June 2011) <----- You can bet I orgasm'd upon finding this one. Luvdisc (Heart Gold, Route 27, July 2011) Swinub (Platinum, Acuity Lakefront, March 2013) <----- Found this during a Wedlocke. Roselia (Platinum, Route 221, September 2013) <----- Found this during a Ground Monotype. I also vaguely recall getting a shiny Absol in Pearl, although my recollection of that might have just been me attempting to chain for one. Not certain. Sadly, I have yet to find a single shiny using the Poké Radar. I just keep breaking streak around 27 or so, sometimes way earlier. =( But those are all i've gotten my hands on. |
I had a few shinies from chaining back in the Diamond & Pearl days! A few Pichu, a Shinx, and a couple of others I'm forgetting. Wish I wasn't a sillynilly and didn't restart the game.. :(
|
FINALLY! Got shiny magikarp after 543 random encounters! Hasty nature, pretty good nature imo. Wow i tought i'll have to do this for a month or something like that. ^^
|
Even though i have caught many in Pokemon y, i have never found a shiny in any of the gen 4 games (besides Gyarados!)

I've found two shiny Pokemon besides Gyarados in HGSS (both on monotype runs, huh) - a Donphan and a Miltank. :)
But in DPPt? Oh boy, where to begin... dumb luck has netted me a Tentacool, but I've chained several Pokemon (from Shinx to Magnemite to Eevee), and also made a bunch of trades for some too. Last one I chained was a Lotad. =) |
Back in my old game of platinum when I was 9, I found a shiny cascoon. Not understanding how rare it really was, I didnt use it or evolve it. Then my game glitched and broke, so I never traded it because I was scared of that happening to other games.
|
one ralts and two geodude. the ralts and one geodude were chaned within 10 hours of eachother and the other geodude on an emulated run.
|
Besides the red gyarados the shinies I've encountered have been mostly when I was doing my shiny challenge. I got a shiny totodile, eevee, beedrill, and an abra from what I remember. And in diamond I had the luck of getting a shiny bibarel haha.
|
Gen 4 was good to me with shiny encounters! I found my first gen 4 shiny when playing SoulSilver and it was a shiny Nidoran female! I was so happy as Nidoqueen is one of my favorite Pokemon ever haha. On the exact same route I found another one on the same play through! :D
|
I found 2. Red Gyarados in Lake of Rage (for sure;)) and a shiny Ratata in the Bell Tower
|
I found a lot of Shiny Pokemon in Generation 4. I don't know an exact count, but it was somewhere around 20. Too bad that I lost them all. :(
There was a time in Pokemon Platinum when I found a Shiny Graveler, caught it and when I went into the grass again, I found another Pokemon! I forget what Pokemon it was though. |
I was really lucky to get a shiny, even though I didn't have the intention of getting one. It's like that sometimes. Anyways, it was a shiny Gastly, and I really liked that turquoisey color. Too bad the shiny for Gengar wasn't really nice and / or eye catching, but still cool nonetheless. Oh, and I killed the shiny Gyrados. By accident, I swear.
|
I found a lot of shinies in Platinum actually XD I found Staravia, Medicham and Ponyta :D But I couldn't use either of them because I found them during challenges with set team I had to use :(
|
I got like 40+ shines from just chaining in Diamond, to me its the easiest method.
I also got two RE's, shinx and ratata. |
I have encountered 3 shinies and successfully caught 2 of them in 4th gen. None of them were through chaining.
The first one was in 2010 in HeartGold. It was a shiny Rattata in the Burned Tower. I thought it was cool how it was golden and it was in HeartGold. I named it "Goldie" I believe. Unfortunately I decided to evolve it into a Raticate without knowing what the shiny looks like and it looked lame imo. Just a slightly orangey-er shade of brown. I later traded it to Pearl, my favorite game. The second was a pink Wooper in the Great Marsh in Pearl in 2011. It was incredibly risky to catch as you can imagine, but I caught it with 2 safari balls! This time I looked up what shiny Quagsire looked like and it is purple which is my favorite color, so I evolved it! I named it "Purpse". The final 4th gen shiny I encountered was in 2012. I was starting to notice the lucky, coincidental pattern of encountering one shiny per year. I was fishing in Route 220 in Pearl trying to catch a Lanturn because I was trying to complete the Pokedex and I was too lazy to grind a Chinchou to evolve it. I knew Lanturn was rare, but it seemed to be taking a ridiculous amount of time to find one, I just kept hooking a ton of Chinchou. I joked that at that rate I was going to encounter a shiny Chinchou before I found a Lanturn. But then it happened! I quickly sent out my at-the-time level 50ish Weaville with False Swipe that I always have on my team now in case I run into a shiny. I used False Swipe, but unfortunately I didn't know that Chinchou could learn Take Down and it killed itself :( It turns out if it had been one level lower it wouldn't have even known Take Down. Those are the only shinies I've encountered in gen 4 besides the Red Gyarados. |
For fourth gen Pokemon games, other than the Red Gyarados, I am sure I only encountered one shiny Pokemon. The Pokemon I encountered was a shiny Staravia in Platinum. I eventually transferred it to White 2 where I evolved it to Staraptor. It currently resides in my copy of X.
|
i don't own HG/SS so i can't say i have a Red Gyarados, but i have found three shines by pure chance. found a bidoof on route 201, a weepinbell on route 229, and a wooper on 212, although i didn't catch that one. :(
|
I don't believe I ever got a shiny Pokemon in a fourth generation game. And of course there is the Red Gyarados, but that doesn't really count.
|
I Have a few of them, I don't like them that one's in this Game.
You need to put really much effort to get them In this game. |
Shiny Meditite from Diamond, Shiny Bunneary from Pearl, Shiny Gyarados, Shiny Graveler, Shiny Eevee, and Shiny Vulpix from HearGold.
|
Like most, I caught the raging Red Gyarados. Hard to say why, it just has to be done.
I have two other shinies on HG. First is a Caterpie I found in the Ilex Forest, and with a Timid nature, no less! It's now a Butterfree named Freelabell and is one of my favorites. The other is a Donphan I encountered outside of Mt. Silver, I'm not too crazy about it. I caught it on principle, figured maybe I could trade it for something nice eventually. I may pick up a copy of Diamond version today and begin my first Sinnoh journey. If I do, I will be soft resetting to get a shiny Piplup :D |
I had traded for literally hundreds upon hundreds in my Diamond and Soul Silver, but those don't really count in my book. If I remember right, I caught a shiny Geodude and Meditite with a few days of each other in my Diamond, AND, I know I caught a few others in that game too - I just can't remember right now. I think I ended up trading them both, though. :/
|
I chained quite a bit in Pearl. My shiny haul was:
1 Corsola 3 Absol 1 Voltorb (while riding in a car) 7 Ponyta (I accidentally fainted the 8th one) 2 Nidoran Male 4 Banette 1 Skitty 1 Shinx 1 Buneary 3 Buizel 3 Ariados 6 Venomoth |
Just a shiny Medicham I ran away from in Mt Coronet. I thought my game was cursed at the time... :s 7-8 year old me was the worst version of me.
|
Other than the shiny Gyarados on HG/SS, I have never encountered any shiny Pokemon in a 4th gen game... :(
|
The only shiny I got in the fourth generation was the Red Gyarados. I tried and tried to get a shiny Pokemon, but I never succeeded. I even did the Masuda method with a million Smeargle - no dice. ;_;
|
I've found no shinies in any of my 4th Gen Pokemon games. :(
|
I caught a shiny Silcoon from a random encounter in Platinum once.

Got a new shiny this morning :]
I was so sure it was going to Selfdestruct. I nearly used my Master Ball on it, but went with a Quick Ball instead. I was not disappointed. |
The only one I ever managed to get in 4th gen was an Eevee I hatched randomly in Pt. It became an Espeon and I used it on my online team for a long time even though its stats weren't perfect. It still exists in 6th gen under the ownership of my good friend Kimberly.
